OKAY GUYS, FINALLY...I REALLY DON'T THINK YOU ARE READY FOR THIS.
WARNING: THIS CHAPTER MAY BE TOO AWESOME FOR YOU TOO HANDLE
LOL
HAPPY READING...
AND LET'S NOT FORGET TO REVIEW
Spencer stepped off the Akina owned private aircraft to see Aria parked not far from Meilani's Mercedes. She was standing on top of her Honda accord with a sign that read: Welcome back Spency. She slid off the car to jog over to the steps of the plane. Spencer looked at her girlfriend.
"I might of called Aria from your phone and asked her to meet us here. I could tell how much it was killing you two to be a part." Spencer hugged Meilani before getting down the steps quickly. She had missed Aria, badly. This was the longest they'd ever been apart since they've known one another. Spencer barely made it off the last step before Aria tossed her sign to the ground and jumped in her arms. She wrapped her legs around her waist and placed multiple kisses all Spencer's face. Once she stopped kissing her, Aria buried her face in Spencer's neck.
"I've missed you so much Spence! You can't leave me for that long ever again. Got it?"
"Got it." Spencer began spinning the small burnette around making her giggle. Aria started her kissing attack again, just as Meilani got done placing Spencer's bags in Aria's trunk.
"Don't you ever take my Spency away from me that long again." She shot Meilani a stern look.
"I'll try my best."
"So I'm kidnapping her and you can't have her back for three days."
"You're the boss. I have a lot of work to catch up on anyway, emails, phone calls and such. So I better get going. Mind if I give my girlfriend a kiss goodbye?" Meilani asked. Spencer had yet to put her best friend back on the ground.
"Go ahead."
"Um...you wanna get down so I can kiss her properly."
"No. You've had her for damn near a week, I'm never letting her go again, hell if we could drive like this, I would. So give her your kiss and be on your way." Aria wasn't kidding.
Spencer laughed at her loving friend, then looked at Meilani, who looked confused. "Just do what she says, it's in the best interest of everyone." Meilani leaned in and placed a quick kiss on Spencer. "I love you."
"I love you too beautiful." Meilani watched as Spencer carried Aria over to her car. Her arms were still tight and her legs even tighter. Meilani tried to shrug off her wandering thoughts and turned on her ignition.
Even though every chance she got to be alone she would facetime Aria, she still missed her like crazy. She held her close as her tiny best friend kissed her face over and over again. Aria placed a kiss on her lips, she lingered there a little longer than normal. Spencer didn't mind, she knew Aria missed her just as much. This was the longest amount of time they'd spent apart since meeting at the playground fourteen years ago. Spencer heard Meilani's car drive away behind her as she neared Aria's Honda. Aria didn't relent with the kisses and Spencer couldn't stop smiling. When Spencer tried to put her down, she stopped kissing her, tightened her grip on her neck and clamped her legs in place around Spencer's waist. She couldn't let Spencer go, not just yet, she had to wait another 40 minutes to hug her again once they started driving. She hated being away from her, even for a second. Five days was brutal. After holding one another for a few long moments, Aria pulled her head back to look at her newly tanned friend.
"The sun was good to you huh?"
Spencer blushed. "Yeah, I'm feeling the tan."
"Tell me everything."
"Munchkin, I talked to you everyday, not much more to tell."
"Well tell me anyway."
"Could we maybe get in the car now?" Spencer snickered at Aria's pouting face. "Listen, when we get home we can get drunk and cuddle all night.
"Really?"
"Yes, really. But we have to get there first." Aria hopped off Spencer and skipped over to the driver's side.

"So why do you think she doesn't like you?" Spencer had just finished telling Aria, for a second time, about her constant uncomfortable encounters with Enakai.
"I have no clue." Spencer answered honestly. "She just doesn't trust me. I can tell, I don't know why, but she doesn't.
"Doesn't she know you have your own money?"
"Do you know what Olina Akina's net worth is?" Aria shook her head, keeping her eyes on the road. "Over three billion dollars. And that's net worth, that means she's got that money sitting in a bank. Their family has billions of dollars and they're careful about who they bring around. I told you about that family rule. Anyway I get being protective over your family, but...I don't know I just really wanted them to like me."
"I thought you said Enakai was the only one who was on your case."
"She was."
"So don't worry about it. How was Christmas?"
"It was amazing. We slept in the main house so we could all wake up together. Everyone exchanged presents and we listened to holiday tunes, it was sweet. There was this awkward moment between Olina and I though. Well not completely awkward, she just threw me for a loop."
"What happened?"
"She asked me to help her glaze the pig outside, she said she usually does is with one of her daughters, but since I was there, she wanted me to."
"Wait the really roast pigs?"
Spencer laughed. "They sure do, and it was delicious."
"Gross! So you go to get the pig ready, then what?"
Olina silently prepped the pig, showing Spencer what she needed to do. After they were finished and placed a apple in the dead animal's mouth, they cleaned themselves up with the garden hose.
"Have a seat with me Spencer." They took a seat on the lounge furniture, just by the pool. "So is there a wedding I should be getting ready for anytime soon?"
Spencer's heart was caught in her throat. She wasn't expecting such a question. "Not that I know of Ms. Olina."
"No?" The woman looked shocked.
"Nope."
"That's odd."
"How's that?"
"You two aren't engaged?"
"No, we aren't." Spencer wasn't sure if this was a joke, if it was she didn't see the humor.
"Well my children know not to bring someone home unless they are going to marry them."
Spencer's heart left her throat and slid down to her feet. She and Meilani had never discussed marriage. "Oh, well we haven't gotten around to the topic."
"Yet?"
"I'm...I..."
"I know you're much younger than my daughter, but she knows the rules. So I'm assuming eventually she will ask you to be her wife. Which I'm fine with, you're a very lovely young lady. You're beautiful, and kind, and I can tell you make my kaikamahine very happy. Which is more important than anything. It's just that I was expecting a ring on your finger and here you are, ring less." She looked at Spencer's left hand. "No pressure or anything, but there's another rule in this house, no children til marriage. And honestly I thought I'd be a kupuna by now. But alas, I'm grandchildless. No pressure though." She chuckled, then playfully nudged Spencer. "I'm going inside, coming?"
"I'm just gonna watch the sun set." She was, but she also wanted time to think.
"Wow. So Mel clearly knows the rules of her mother's household?"
"Without a doubt in my mind."
"So you think she'll propose soon? Are you even ready for that? Did you tell her about the talk with her mom?" Aria often fired off questions without waiting for answers, Spencer was more than used to it.
"I have no idea. Maybe. And no." Spencer said answering all of her inquiries.
"Why not?"
"I was already a little freaked out, and it was the middle of Christmas day, she was playing games with her brothers and sisters, and a few of her cousins. I didn't want to ruin her trip."
"If she asked, whether it be today or six months from now, would you say yes?"
"In a heartbeat."

Spencer sat on her couch with her computer in her lap. Her hair was pulled into a messy ponytail and she donned a white tank and grey leggings. Her legs were crossed and she was focused on her screen. Aria had just left to go meet up with Ezra. They spent the last 70 hours drinking, talking and cuddling. She barely let Spencer talk to Meilani, who would be at her door any minute. She sipped her coffee which was desperately needed after almost three days of not enough sleep, and too much booze. The knock on her door broke her concentration.
"Hey you." The faint hint of a accent accompanied by a beguiling smile made Spencer go weak upon opening her door.
"Hey baby." They wrapped their arms around each other. "I'm sorry Aria's kept me hostage. She can get like that sometimes."
"It's okay, I had a ton of work to do." Meilani kissed Spencer and backed her into her apartment, closing the door with her foot. The exchanged became heated in a matter of seconds. "God I missed you." She said against Spencer's lips.
"I missed you more." Their embrace was cut short by Spencer's phone ringing, it was Aria's ringtone. Meilani took a seat while Spencer tried to rush her best friend off the phone. She hung up and sat on Meilani's lap, giving her kisses on her cheek and neck.
"Can I ask you something beautiful?"
"You can ask me anything." Spencer replied against Meilani's neck.
"Have you and Aria ever had sex?" Meilani was startled by how quickly Spencer sat straight up and climbed off of her. The look on her face was a mixture of disbelief and disgust. Her eyebrows were furrowed and her face scrunched up.
"No! That's disgusting! That would literally be like having sex with Melissa. Why would you ask me some crazy shit like that?" Spencer didn't like to use profanity, only when she was upset or angry.
"The way she was with you when she saw you at the hanger. She was all over you." Meilani said calmly.
Spencer stood over Meilani. "So?! That's just how Aria is. She's loving and affectionate. She missed me! She showers me with kisses if she doesn't see me for two days, how do you think she felt after five."
"Calm down nani, I was just asking a question."
"A disrespectful question!" Spencer was furious that Meilani could even think to ask such a thing.
"Don't be so defensive, I was just..."
"Damn right I'm defensive of my relationship with her! I would take a bullet for her, I'd put a bullet in someone for her. She owns a piece of my heart no one can ever touch! I can't believe you asked me that. And after three days."
"Well I haven't seen you remember." Meilani rose from her seat, she was a few inches shorter than spencer but she stood firm.
"You've been holding on to this for three days and you just now wanna bring it up? How could you be pissed about my bestfriend and me?"
"I wasn't pissed, but I'm getting there. I saw her kiss you!"
"Again, SO?! What's your point? We kiss all the time." Spencer reasoned.
"On the lips? She kissed you on the lips, and it didn't look friendly!" Meilani yelled.
"I'd be worried if she gave me some pedestrian kiss, our love for each other is special. Don't get me wrong my family and I love each other but aria...she's special. We've always kissed on the lips, even when we were kids."
"So you never fucked her?" Meilani didn't use curse words too much either, but the debate had her blood boiling.
"I already told you no! That's gross!"
"Never thought about it?"
"What the...get out!" Spencer had had enough of her ludicrous accusations.
"Seriously? You're kicking me out?" Her tone was back to normal.
"I don't even wanna look at you right now! Get the hell out!"
Meilani stood her ground. They stared each other down seeing who would budge first. She briefly thought about apologizing but turned around and left.

The next day was new year's eve and Spencer couldn't stop thinking about her fight with Meilani. They hadn't talk since, each of them waiting for the other to make the first move. She still couldn't believe Meilani had the audacity to ask her such a ridiculous question, but the more she thought about it, the more she realized how her relationship with Aria could possibly look from the outside looking in. Even still, she couldn't stomach that Meilani would think that. The longer she was left alone with her thoughts the more agitated she became. She needed to talk. She grabbed her keys and checked the clock. 11:23am. She knew Aria would probably be asleep, but she needed her best friend. She ran up the two flights of stairs, taking two at a time. She walked down the long hallway and stopped in front of her door. There was no sound. She unlocked the door to the spacious two bedroom dwelling to find her best friend and Ezra Fitz wrapped up in one another, naked, on the couch. Her cheeks were flushed and she quietly snickered. She walked over to Aria's elaborate sound system and turned it on. Some Katy Perry song came on and she turned the volume up to the max. Ezra and Aria jolted awake at the loud and sudden noise. Spencer laughed heartily once Ezra saw her on the other side of the living room and quickly grabbed a throw pillow to cover himself. She turned the system off while unsuccessfully trying not to continue laughing.
Aria rubbed the sleep out of her eyes and pushed Ezra off her. She got up as he watched her naked form walk over to her best friend. His eyes bulged when he saw her wrap her arms around Spencer's neck and pulled her down, giving her a peck on the lips.
"Ew munchkin, you have morning breath."
"So, you still love me." She said sleepily, with her arms still around her neck. Spencer pulled her close.
Spencer looked over at Ezra who was like a deer caught in the headlights. At that moment she knew, for a fact, it would be easy to think they might have had, or was still having, a sexual relationship.
"I'm sorry Fitz, didn't mean to wake you guys, or disturb your naked party, but I need to talk to my bestie, if that's okay." Spencer and Ezra watched Aria saunter towards the bathroom. The sink faucet turned on.
"Um, I...um, yeah I, uh...it's okay."
"Here ya go, I'll cover my eyes." Spencer said as she tossed him his pants and covered her eyes.
"Aw what's the big deal, you know what a penis looks like." Aria asked coming back into the living room, her red satin robe on.
"I know but he seemed uncomfortable." Spencer teased. They both looked at Ezra who had put his jeans on and sat back down on the couch.
"I'm fine..." He said unconvincingly. "Why don't I go in the bedroom and let you ladies talk?"
"Actually, you could be useful." Spencer said, taking a seat on Aria's laz-e-boy.
"Okay, now I'm intrigued. What's up Spency?" Aria asked.
"Fitz, how did you feel, or should I ask what did you think when you saw Aria hug me without any clothes on?"
"Um, I, uh..."
"It's not a trick question, it's kinda why I came over here, so be honest, was that weird for you?" Spencer and Aria looked at Ezra waiting for his response.
"Uh, well...yeah kinda."
"Why?"
"Because, she wasn't wearing clothes, and you just...held each other tight. It was sexy don't get me wrong but odd. Aren't you a lesbian?"
"Yes, what does that have to do with anything?"
"Well, one might think..."
"That we had something going on?"
"Looks that way." He smoothed out his long curly mane.
"Hmm..." Was all Spencer could offer.
"What's this about Spencer?" Aria asked after turning her attention back to her best friend.
"We look and act like we fucked, that's what it's about."
Aria gasped and stared at her in utter shock, Spencer never cursed, she knew something was terribly wrong. "Baby, what are you talking about?"
"That, how we talk to each other, how we show each other affection, it looks suspect. But I love you so much and we've always been this way. I don't even know how to begin to even think about changing it." Spencer said with obvious sadness in her voice.
"Spencer, what's going on, I'm confused." Aria looked over at Ezra who scooted a bit closer to her, putting his arm around her.
"Meilani and I got into a huge screaming match. It was our first fight." She paused, Aria and Ezra waited patiently for her to resume. "It was over you." She looked in Aria's eyes which grew wide.
"Me?" She asked with disbelief. "What did I do."
"At the hanger, before she pulled off, she saw you kiss me. I knew you gave me a longer one because you missed me, but she wasn't too pleased to see your lips on mine." She looked at Ezra, who looked confused. "We always kiss on the lips, but it's not sexual. It's never been. Aria was the first person I ever kissed, when we were nine." She saw Aria's face light up at the memory. "She asked me could she practice on me, and not knowing any better I said sure. After that we always kissed on the lips. It's not even really a kiss, it's just a peck. But what Meilani saw was not a peck, she kissed me and I kissed her back. There is nothing and has never been anything between us except friendship, we're just ridiculously close." she explained.
"I see that. Did you tell your girlfriend this?" Ezra wondered.
"More or less." She reclined the chair and put her feet up. "Actually I started yelling at her the second the question came out her mouth."
"What question." Asked Aria.
"If you and I ever had sex." They were all quiet for a moment. "What really set me off was when I told her no, twice, and she asked if I thought about it."
"You two never thought about it? I'm just asking, don't kill me." Ezra said when Spencer shot him a nasty look. "You know just to scratch that itch. All girls think about what it would be like to have sex with another girl, gay or straight." Spencer realized Aria hadn't told him about the Dominican.
"I've had sex with a woman, and it wasn't Spencer." His eyes bulged for a third time. "She's like my sister, I would never. The thought has never crossed my mind."
"That's what I said! I tried to explain, but she just hurled accusations at me and I kicked her out."
"Spence, you kicked her out?"
"Yeah."
"Have you tried talking to her since, wait when was this?"
"Last night, a little while after you left to meet Ezra."
"I'm so sorry Spency." Aria got up and laid on Spencer. She soothingly rubbed her hand up and down her arm. Spencer looked at Ezra. "Does this make you uncomfortable, does this look bad?"
"If I was a stranger, and didn't know the nature of y'all relationship, I would think y'all were together."
Aria looked up at Spencer. "Spency, I don't know how to be any other way. I'm sorry."
"Aw, munchkin, I don't remember the last time I saw you sad. Could you stop, you're going to make me cry." It was true, Spencer rarely saw Aria in a bad or upset mood. She was the happiest person she had ever known.
"I can't help it, I feel bad."
"Don't feel bad baby." Ezra chimed in. "You love your best friend, there's nothing wrong with that."
"He's right Aria." They held each other tight. She looked at Ezra who had love in his eyes, then she glanced at Aria. As much as they shared with each other, Aria never talked about Ezra. Normally Spencer would shrug it off because she never got serious with anyone, but something was different. "Um, baby? Did her just call you baby?"
"We're together okay?" She got up and walked back over to the couch. She plopped down next to her boyfriend. "Get off my back with all your questions!"
Spencer laughed. "I asked one question, relax. So...when did this happen?"
"You didn't tell her about us?"
"It's none of her business Ezra!" Aria was getting frustrated. She didn't like having feelings for anyone except her family, her friends, and most importantly, her Spencer. As much as she would have liked to deny it, she had fallen in love for the first time in her twenty two years of life. She just wasn't quite ready to talk about it.
"She's right Fitz, none of my business." She would grill her later. "So, what do I do about Meilani?"
"Just go talk to her, go take her lunch or something, it takes forty minutes to get to philly anyway, by the time you get there it should be near time to eat. Just talk, don't yell. And kiss and make up and have some freaky office sex. Problem solved." Spencer and Ezra laughed at the tiny brunette, but she was right.

Spencer stepped off the elevator on the 55th floor of the Comcast building. It was a little after 1:30 when she arrived. She walked the down the row of cubicles as eyes followed her. She always looked her best when visiting Meilani at work, she wanted to show off what their boss had. Her makeup was flawless, she covered her lips with a pink gloss while her eyeshadow was dramatic and dark. Her naturally wavy hair was pin straight. Her six inch black heels made her stand six feet three inches, but complimented her toned legs. Her black skirt hugged her body and stopped in the middle of her thigh. She topped off her outfit with a white long sleeved shirt that hung low in the front, exposing her chest. Her peacoat jacket hung on her arm as she made her way to Meilani's office, and there wasn't too many people who weren't staring. Their boss' girlfriend was definitely hot.
She stopped in front of Meilani's door, her secretary wasn't at her desk, so she took a breath and walked into the large corner office. Two sets of eyes were on he and two mouths dropped at her presence. She smiled and sat her coat and their lunch on the table between her couches.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt, would you like me to come back?" Spencer was happy that Meilani was looking at her like she wanted to ravish her, step one, check. But so did the man in an expensive suit, sitting across from Meilani.
"Uh, no...we were just chatting." The man stood up and a bright smile spread across his face. He was handsome, but clearly not Spencer's type. "This is Derek Washington, he's the project manager for the new product we're working on."
"Pleasure to meet you..."
"Spencer."
"Yes, uh, Derek, this is Spencer, my girlfriend." The smile faded from his face as he absorbed what he was just told. His cheeks flushed pink at his thoughts. Before he knew this was his boss' girlfriend, he was going to try and get her number. That was out of the question.
"My goodness Meilani, you're a very lucky woman." He said never taking his eyes off Spencer. "I see she brought you lunch, I'll get out of your hair." He shook Spence's hand and was on his way. She couldn't help but be amused at him drooling over her.
"So I'm still your girlfriend?"
"I don't recall breaking up." Meilani said. Spencer locked the door and walked over to Meilani. She took her hands and lead her over to one of the couches. She kissed her, soft at first, but then it turned hungry. She lowered herself on the couch and pulled Meilani on top of her. She couldn't resist Spencer, even if she wanted to. She pushed Spencer's skirt up and went to take her panties off, only there weren't any. She pulled back a little to see a mischievous grin on her girlfriend's lips. Their lips met again and Meilani thrusted her fingers inside of Spencer. Meilani's lips muffled the moans that were coming from Spencer. She moved to her neck and sucked. Every time her fingers come out of her girlfriend, she curled them up, making Spencer damn near scream. Then she thrust them back in with force. In and out, as Spencer pushed her hips towards Meilani's hand. Spencer knew she couldn't last much longer. She loved having quickies in Meilani's office, and this was all the more sweet because they were making up. Meilani shushed Spencer, she didn't want everyone in the building to know what the pair were up to. It didn't take many more thrusts to get Spencer to reach her climax. They laid there, motionless. Meilani kept her fingers inside and Spencer ran her fingers through her dark curls. Step two, check.
"I love you."
"I love you too Spencer, so much."
"Can we talk?"
"Yeah, wanna use my bathroom to freshen up?"
"Sure, thanks." When Spencer came back into the office, Meilani had already started their lunch.
"Sorry, you know I love Chipotle, thank you by the way. For lunch, and the sex."
Spencer chuckled. "My pleasure, trust me. So, about yesterday." Spencer picked up her burrito bowl and sat next to Meilani. "Mel, I'm really sorry I got so upset. I didn't mean to yell, and throw you out, I was just really..."
"I understand nani. I had no right to ask you that. I wasn't thinking. I love you and I...well I'm trying to trust you."
"You still don't trust me?" Spencer couldn't have been more hurt.
"It's just really hard for me to do. The fact that I'm so crazy about you doesn't help matters."
"That should be all the more reason to trust me." She sighed and ate a fork full of her food. "Mel, be honest with me do you think Aria and I had sex? Or do you believe me?"
"I believe you. I'm sorry." Step three, check.
"Okay." There was no more that needed to be said. "I also wanted to make sure everything was all set for the party tonight." Spencer asked Meilani to plan a new years party at her mansion so they could invite all their friends.
"Everything is right on schedule."
"Great. Meilani?"
"Yes?"
"I love you." They shared a small kiss and ate the rest of their lunch.

The party was in full swing when Toby entered the family room where everyone was gathered. A few people stared and a few murmured, recognizing him from TV. Meilani noticed him first and pointed him out to Aria and Spencer. Aria ran over to him and the gorgeous blonde on his arm. Spencer pulled Meilani over to where they stood. Meilani felt even more guilty about her fight with Spencer when she saw Aria hop in Toby's arms. She kissed him all over his face then pecked his lips. When he set her down her picked Spencer up off the ground and spun her around. She pecked his lips too, then they greeted the blonde.
"Toby this is Ezra...my boyfriend." Aria mumbled.
"Your what?" Toby asked in shock.
"Her boyfriend. Nice to meet you, I love your work, Meilani's chopper is amazing, quality work." Ezra said.
"Aw man thanks a lot." Toby shook Ezra's hand. "This is my girlfriend Lily." Lily greeted Ezra and Meilani. "Mel, so nice to see you again." He leaned in to give her a hug. "How's that chopper treating you?"
"It's fantastic, but he's lonely since I can't ride him. I should move somewhere warm and sunny."
"You aren't going anywhere." Spencer wrapped her arms around Meilani's waist and kissed her.

"He told me he loved me."
Spencer's jaw dropped and she smiled wide. "He did? What did you say?" She and Aria were in Meilani's bedroom. She took her upstairs to ask what was going on between her and the AP calculus teacher.
"Well, I kissed him and as you saw, we never made it to the bedroom."
"It happened last night? No wonder you had your panties in a bunch when I asked about you two. So...do you love him?" Spencer already knew the answer. Aria had a three month rule, no one gets past three months. Like clockwork, on the day that marks three months, whoever she's dealing with gets dumped. They had been dating a week over her deadline. She had never seen Aria in love, but she knew what it looked like. She couldn't have been happier she finally found someone special.
"I don't know..."
"Sure you do." They were seated on Meilani's bed. Spencer put her hand on Aria's face to get a good look in her eyes. "Sure you do munchkin. I'd know that look anywhere."
"I don't know what to do with this Spencer, I know how to fuck. I know how to have a good time. I do not know how to love someone."
"You love me don't you?"
"It's not the same."
"All I'm trying to say is you do know how to love. It may be a different kind of love, but you know how. Just be with the guy, you don't have to do anything special. Except maybe one thing."
"What's that?"
"Tell him you love him. Here, practice on me."
"Okay...Ezra, I love you."
"That wasn't so hard was it?"
"I think I'm going to puke."
"Stop being dramatic Aria." They laughed, hugged, and headed back to the party.
"Ten, nine, eight..." Everyone shouted.
"You know," Meilani started looking up in Spencer's eyes, "they say the person you kiss on New years is the person you'll spend your year with."
"Oh really?" When the room erupted with "Happy New Year!" Spencer leaned down and captured her girlfriend's lips. She hoped she would spend the rest of her life on every new years with her.

Emily couldn't wait to give Ms. Hastings her Valentine's day muffins. She made up a recipe to make raspberry muffins and she hoped she would like them. Although she was very happy in her almost two month long relationship with Samara, she still had a major crush on her English teacher. She stopped in front of her door and her heart stopped at the sight. Ms. Hastings had her tongue down a very attractive woman's throat. A part of her felt excited to learn she was gay, and another part felt sad she had a girlfriend. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door. They two women separated and Ms. Hastings blushed.
"Emily, what are you doing here so early?" Even though Emily often came in early to see her, she was a little embarrassed to have been caught making out with Meilani.
"I...I wanted to...I made you muffins."
Spencer instantly forgot about her faux pas and perked up, she loved it when Emily brought her treats. "Blueberry?"
"No, I came up with a new recipe. They're raspberry." Emily held out the tupperware for Spencer to take while eyeing the woman she didn't recognize.
"Oh, that sounds tasty. Oh geez, where are my manners. Meilani this is Emily, Emily this is Meilani."
"Your girlfriend." It was a statement not a question.
"Yes her girlfriend, and you're her favorite student." Emily blushed and Spencer playfully slapped Meilani's arm.
"You're not suppose to say that. I'll deny it if you ever told anyone, but yeah you're my favorite."
Emily felt giddy at the confession. "I'll deny it if you ever tell anyone, but you're my favorite teacher. Happy Valentine's day."
"Thank you Emily." She smiled brightly and took the muffins. "Happy Valentine's day to you too. Do you have someone special?"
"Yeah I do actually, someone really special. I guess I'll head over to the music room and let you two finish making out. Nice to meet you Meilani." Spencer and Meilani laughed and felt slightly embarrassed. They enjoyed Emily's marvelous muffins and resumed their makeout session.

Spencer slept peacefully with Meilani by her side. They stayed the night over at Spencer's since it was her birthday. Meilani had a huge surprise at her house and didn't want her to ruin it. Spencer didn't mind if they slept at her house or Meilani's as long as they were together. And for the last six months they have been, happily. Her telephone vibrating woke her out her sleep, she kept her eyes shut as she fumbled to answer the call that was coming well before her 6am alarm.
"Hello?"
"Bugg."
Spencer's heart stopped. Her eyes shot open, she didn't say anything. Her mind raced and images of her skin, her smile, her body, her long dark hair, those eyes, invaded her sight. The sound of her laughter flooded her ears, then came the sound of her moans increasing in volume making her heart start to beat again, faster than it's normal pace. She couldn't possibly be calling. What for, why now? This was the last thing she needed or wanted. Her life was perfect. How could she call? How did she find the nerve? After all these years, all the pain, all the tears. What did she want?
