The rest of Spencer's day was spent deep in thought. She had seen Ashley storm off…and she couldn't get Ashley's words out of her head. She loves me, Spencer thought, ashamed that she found so much happiness in knowing this. Aiden had told her he loved her several times, and Spencer had managed to kiss her way out of answering him. She'd been dating for Aiden for four months now…she loved him. Right? She didn't bother like convincing herself otherwise right then. The bell rang signifying the end of the day. Spencer met Aiden outside at their usual spot, next to the bleachers by the soccer field. Usually Spencer had to endure ten minutes of Aiden's tongue before she could get him to take her home, but today he looked slightly worried when she approached him.

"What's this I head about Ashley professing her love for you in front of the whole school today?" He asked her. He knew Ashley could be a little irrational at times, but this was far out of her realm.

"She…she said she was in love with me." Spencer said honestly. She wasn't originally going to tell Aiden what had transpired, but since he already knew there was no point in lying. "I don't know where that came from." Aiden shrugged.

"Could you blame her?" He leaned in kissing Spencer. She kissed him back quickly before pulling away.

"What are we doing tonight?" She asked him, getting out of another sloppy make out session. Somewhere in the back of her head, she wondered whether or not Ashley used too much tongue like Aiden did when kissing. Spencer already knew the answer without too much thought…she bet Ashley could kiss perfectly. But she didn't want to think about that-- that would never happen. Aiden was trying to get her attention.

"Spencer?" He said, catching her eye. She turned to him apologetically.

"Sorry, I lost my train of thought. What are we doing tonight?" She asked.

"I was thinking a little dinner for two and then maybe…the back of my car…" Aiden murmured, trying to read Spencer's reaction to his idea. Spencer was lost in thoughts of whose car she wanted to get into the back of. Ashley had a nice sized backseat, she remembered.

"Uh sure…" Spencer mumbled when she realized that Aiden was waiting for a response. "Sounds good, pick me up at eight." She kissed his cheek and took his hand. "Give me a ride home?"

Spencer lay down on her bed a while before she got ready to go on her date. She was half daydreaming, half sleeping and thinking about that night in Ashley's room. How Ashley had gotten so close to kissing her. How Aiden had walked in and how she'd gotten freaked out by almost kissing her best friend. I'm not gay, I don't need to be kissing Ashley, its only going to make me more—confused, Spencer had reasoned. At the time, she had been filled with butterflies and lightness in her stomach as Ashley leaned over. It was true that she'd been thinking of Ashley every time she kissed Aiden. It was hard to endure his tongue down the back of her throat without picturing Ashley. But Spencer put that out of her head. She was with Aiden, whether she wanted to be or not. But Ashley had smelled so perfect that night…and when she had leaned in, Spencer could smell her. She smelled like…clean laundry and the kind of perfume that stays on tee shirts for days after wearing it. She smelled like a combination of Spencer's favorite smells from childhood, from Ohio. Maybe it was Ashley's scent that had attracted her to the kiss…but Spencer didn't exactly believe that. She'd watched Ashley lick her perfect lips before leaning in and Spencer could remember wanting to taste them. Then Aiden walked in and Spencer snapped to her senses. That didn't stop her from wondering what it might have been like, how her life would have changed if she had kissed Ashley then. After Aiden left Ashley's that night, he'd come over to her house. That was the night he asked her out. They'd been together ever since. Since that night, Spencer tried hard to avoid coming too close to Ashley because she knew if she got too close, she would end up all over her. That moment, the night of Ashley and her falling out, had almost been her breaking point, being held and tempted.

"Spencer, are you getting ready?" Paula, Spencer's mother, called up the stairs. "Aiden is coming in a half an hour." Spencer scoffed. Her mother had been so happy when Spencer had said that she and Aiden were together. Her mother no longer badgered Spencer, or told her not to go near Ashley. Paula was convinced that dating Aiden was the smartest move Spencer had ever made in LA.

"Yeah, Mom." Spencer called out. "I'm getting ready." She got up and went to her closet. She knew that it didn't matter what she'd wear, Aiden would try to get her out of it anyways. She put on a nice shirt with a skirt and heels. She was ready when Aiden came to pick her up and waved goodbye to her mother. Getting into Aiden's car, she smiled at her boyfriend.

"Where are we going for dinner?" She asked him. Aiden backed the car out of the driveway and began driving down the street.

"I thought we'd skip dinner." He proposed.

"What? Why?" Spencer asked. She realized Aiden was driving in the direction of Griffith Park, the notorious make out spot Kelly had taken her to.

"I thought we could get a little closer." Aiden put his hand on Spencer's leg.

"I told you I wasn't ready for that." Spencer told him, pushing his hand away.

"Listen to me, Spencer. I love you. Ok?" Aiden told her, looking over while driving. "I want to be with you. It's been four months. How long do you expect me to wait?" He asked.

"I'm not ready for this." Spencer told him again.

"Does this have anything to do with Ashley?" Aiden asked her. Spencer was amazed at how intuitive he was.

"N-n-no. Why would you think that?" She questioned.

"Ashley admits her love to you, you never want to kiss me or let me get close to you…" Aiden commented. "Maybe you have feelings for Ashley that you're not admitting to."

"That's crazy! I don't want A-A-Ashley." Spencer said, it felt awful lying.

"It's ok if you do. Tell me. I don't want you to do something you don't want to do." Aiden told her. Spencer realized how close she was to telling Aiden the truth, to coming clean. She couldn't…she didn't want to.

"No. I want you. Let's go to Griffith Park."
