Sorry for not posting last night. Part of my past revealed itself and it wasn't too good. So here's the update though.
June 3, 2004.
"Dinner was great Mr. Dennison. Come on Cass; let's go up to my room."
"Ok. Thanks Mr. D." I smiled as I stood up from the dinner table as Spencer grabbed my hand and ran up the stairs to her room. It was a small pink room in the attic of the two story house. It had a dresser, a bed and a small desk. Not room for much more than that. Spencer sat on her bed a pat next to her indicating for me to sit down next to her.
"Nice room Spence." I say sitting down next to her on her bed.
"Yeah it's better than sharing a room with 13 other kids or even a shelter house with you." She just started laughing at her own stupid joke. I grab a pillow from behind me and hit her with it.
"Thank you so much Spence."
We were now both laughing, grabbing our stomachs from laughing so hard and lying back on Spence's bed.
"Cass… Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"Um… The last time I saw you, you said something to yourself… Umm... Did you mean what you said?" She was biting her lip not looking at me.
"You heard what I had said?"
"Yeah…"
"Oh… umm. I don't know Spencer." I sat up crossing my legs, "Things have changed since that day."
We were both quiet for what felt like an eternity. I just let that day replay in my head over and over. I must have zoned out or something because the next thing in know Spencer has stood up and is crying by her window.
"Spence?" I get up and place my arms around her waist standing behind her. It's raining outside and Spencer is now in tears. The rain reminders her of her brother I know it but why would she be thinking about that now? She turns around in my arms and buries her face in my shoulder mumbling something.
"Spence I can't…"
She cuts me off, shockingly by pressing her ever so smooth lips against mine. I close my eyes finally understand what she is doing and kiss her back. I want her to feel how I feel. Not the hurt she has caused me but all the love that I had hidden from her all of these years.
