"Today…now…" - Bingo Adler

"Good morning, Spencer," Paula walks into the kitchen.

"Good morning…" Spencer replies, uncomfortably, and shovels a spoonful of cereal into her mouth.

"I was thinking," Paula sits down across from Spencer at the kitchen table. "We should have a girls day out."

Uh, no…

"Therapy," Spencer mumbles with a mouthful of cereal.

"After?" Paula suggests.

"Homework."

"Spencer, I think we need to talk."

"I'm good." Spencer stands up, grabbing her bowl of half eaten cereal.

"Spencer,"

Spencer pours the cereal down the drain of the garbage disposal, and briefly turns it on.

If I stand very still she may just sniff me and leave me alone…

Spencer opens the dishwasher.

"Spencer,"

Spencer places the bowl and spoon inside and closes the door.

"Yeah," Spencer walks over the kitchen table and grabs her messenger bag.

The doorbell rings, putting a premature end to their conversation.

"I have to go." Spencer says, relieved, slipping the strap of her messenger bag onto her shoulder.

"I know that you hate me, Spencer, but, I'm doing the best that I can." Paula says, softly.

Spencer looks down.

She couldn't remember ever having a 'real' moment with Paula.

"I don't," Spencer looks up. "I don't hate you."

Paula smiles, bitter-sweetly. "You always were your father's daughter. And, I think that's the reason I held onto you so tight."

The doorbell rings…again.

"I have to --"

"I was afraid of loosing you. I wanted us to have a better relationship than I had with my mother." Paula says, regretfully. "We don't though…" She trails off and Spencer knows she's done.

I think I should say something…

What do you say though?

"I have to go." Spencer says, softly, and walks out of the kitchen.

­­­Chapter Nine - Revelations

Bingo turns the volume up on his car radio. "This is a brilliant song."

"Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup. They slither wildly as they slip away across the universe."

Oh, shit!

Bingo sings. "Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind,
possessing and caressing me."

Spencer smiles, looking over at Bingo.

They sing in unison. "Jai guru deva om."

Bingo nods. "Nothing's gonna change my world, nothing's gonna change my world, nothing's gonna change my world, nothing's gonna change my world."

My dad loves The Beatles.

"My dad loves The Beatles." Spencer says.

Bingo turns the volume down.

"My dad -- he loves The Beatles." She says.

"Your mom?"

Spencer shrugs. "I don't -- I don't know what she likes…what's your relationship like with your mother?"

He grins. "Moms,"

Bingo has two mommies.

Spencer smiles. "Yeah?"

He nods. "And, they're pretty cool."

"Are you closer to one?"

"Yeah," He looks over at Spencer.

"My dad moved out. And, this morning, Paula -- in some misguided attempt tries to reach out," Spencer uses 'hand quotes'."To me."

"You should -- I mean -- I know it's none of my business, but I think you should -- I don't know…sit down with her and talk."

Spencer looks out of the open window.

They were getting closer to school.

"Thanks…for the ride." Spencer says.

"I'm going back." Bingo says, sadly.

"Back?" Spencer looks over at him. "Back to the Future?" She grins.

"Yeah," He pulls into the parking lot of King.

"You're not kidding." Spencer says, sadly, and surprised that she was going to miss him.

If she really thought about it.

She didn't know him, but oddly enough she felt connected to him.

He pulls into his parking space, but leaves the engine running.

"When are you…leaving?" Spencer asks.

"Today…now…" He whispers and looks over at her.

"Who's going to drive me to school?" Spencer grins, relieving some of the tension.

Bingo laughs. "I don't know…"

"We should have hung out more." Spencer says.

"Yeah," He nods.

They sit there is silence.

"I have to go." Bingo says, softly.

"You think will see each other again?"

"Yeah," He grins. "Sooner than you think."

"You're weird." She gets out of his car.

He shrugs. "What do you except from a guy named Bingo?"

Two effed up parents. Who names their kid, Bingo?

It's unique and it probably means something to them.

She closes the door. "Drive safe." She blurts out.

What?

I have no idea.

"Yeah…you too," He replies, making a 'did I just say that' face.

Spencer steps back and Bingo pulls out of the parking space and out of the parking lot.

--

"Guess what?" Kyla says, excitedly, leaning in and kissing Spencer briefly.

"Did Jesus come back?" Spencer smiles.

"Close…I got a call about that loft apartment!" She smiles.

"Yeah?"

Kyla nods. "Yeah, I'm going to sign the papers after school and pick up the keys."

"Your own place." Spencer grins, goofily.

Kyla slides her hand into Spencer's and they begin to walk.

"I move in this weekend. I don't have a lot of stuff, but I'm going to need help." Kyla says.

"Sure, I can ask, Glen if you want." Spencer offers.

"Thanks." She smiles, playfully, swinging her and Spencer's clasped hands.

"You're very welcome."

They stop near Kyla's classroom.

"So…I'll see you?" Kyla stops swinging their hands.

"I don't know, babe. I don't like being held down." Spencer grins.

Kyla laughs. "Oh, okay," She lets go of Spencer's head, and slides her arms around Spencer's neck. She leans pressing her lips against Spencer's and kissing her.

I love her.

Kyla pulls back sliding her arms from around Spencer's neck. "I love you." She says, without hesitation.

"I love you too." Spencer replies, with an equal amount of devotion. Spencer leans in and kisses her. "I can't wait for you to move out."

Kyla laughs, stepping back. "Go to class, Spencer."

Spencer grins, turning and beginning to walk.

She turns around.

Kyla's still looking at her.

Spencer puts her hand over her heart.

It feels like my heart is beating out of my chest.

That's love, Spencer. That's love.

Feedback

Haha, I wonder if Spencer's feelings about Juno are a reflection of someone else's feelings? Because honestly I totally agree with the whole statement made. xD
Anyways, I'm really glad that you are sticking with this despite all the crazy "I hate anything that doesn't involve Spashley in a back seat runnin' like a track meet" fans out there. Spyla in my opinion would be a much cuter couple. Kyla has my heart forever with her adorable-ness that she brings to South and Spencer deserves someone who doesn't ditch her for muscles McWahwah.

Yeah, I admit. I put my thoughts about Juno into Spencer's mouth. Ha. I've stuck with this story because I enjoy writing it, but also because I know people enjoying reading it. I know that if someone were writing a pairing that wasn't the 'norm' and I really liked it and they stopped writing it because of lack of feedback or hits I'd understand, but at the same time be disappointed. "Muscles McWahwah'. Ha. I gotta use that.

Dttdemon

I like that Spencer and Glen are getting closer. i swear, Spyla just keep getting cuter every time. pms.

I like writing the cuteness that is Spyla because it's not a 'sickening' cuteness. You know?

Those three little words are the hardest things to say...well I think so anyways! Good chpt! I was totally excited to see it up! Cant wait for the next one!

Those three words are hard to say, but I think for Spencer and Kyla they've felt it for quite sometime for each other, that they can just say it to each other.
