"I'll get it" Rachel told her, quickly heading out to the door.
She took a deep breath before opening it.
"Spencer" She smiled warmly at the very nervous looking man standing in the doorway.
He gave her a small smiled in return.
"Rachel" he replied, walking in past her as she stood back.
His hair was tousled as if he had been running his hands through it and she had to shake off the feeling of wanting to know how it would feel to run her own fingers through it.
"Well c'mon" she mumbled quickly, heading towards the living room.
He followed her slowly, obviously still nervous. What if Bella didn't like him? If she started pointing out his flaws to Rachel, she might not want to be his friend anymore. And honestly he was enjoying her company all too much to let that happen.
However, he walked into the room behind her nonetheless anxiously. His eyes instantly flew to the woman sitting casually on the couch. She had brown hair, it was somewhat shorter than Rachel's but not by much. He eyes were big and blue and when she smiled he noticed her teeth were perfectly straight.
"Ahh so he does exist" she grinned once her gaze landed on Spencer.
He frowned, confused and looked to Rachel for an explanation.
Rachel however just rolled her eyes.
"Don't mind her. Spencer, this is Bella. Bella, Spencer" she introduced, waving a hand carelessly between the two.
Bella's grin widened.
"Well Spencer, it's great to meet you, Rachel hasn't shut up about you this past week so I-" she began but cut off when she noticed the glare Rachel was giving her.
Spencer just glanced back at Rachel, a small smirk playing at his lips.
"Oh really?" he asked, once again showing the flare of confidence Rachel had only seen once before.
The fact that her cheeks turned a pale pink colour only encouraged him.
"Yeah, seriously it's been Spencer this and Spencer that. But when she kept saying you couldn't meet us I was starting to think maybe she'd made you up" She continued.
He raised an eyebrow, clearly enjoying himself.
"Why would you think that?" he asked.
She shrugged.
"Rachel hasn't exactly got the best taste in men usually. She seems to only go for complete douchebags. When she told us about you you seemed almost too good to be true" Bella explained.
At this point Spencer had sat down next to Bella.
"Okay Bells, thanks and all but I think he's heard enough" Rachel intervened quickly.
However, both Spencer and Bella agreed that he hadn't heard enough and so Bella launched into a full explanation of some of the men Rachel had 'dated' before Spencer.
"Do you remember that idiot who thought that Labour day was a day that we celebrated all of our mothers who had gone into labour?" Bella asked Rachel who was sitting on the floor with her legs propped against the couch, watching a rerun of Beverly Hills 90210 almost fifteen minutes later.
Rachel couldn't help but grin ever so slightly at that.
Spencer's laugh filled the room. And although Rachel wasn't too pleased at the conversation him and Bella were having, she couldn't help but glance up at him, just to watch him laugh. His eyes crinkled at the corners and he tilted his head forward slightly. His laugh was thoroughly amazing.
She was so focused on Spencer, she hadn't even noticed Bella had stood up.
"Well a certain hunky aerobics instructor has just invited me out for a drink so I'm gonna run down to my place to get changed" she announced, her phone in her hand.
Rachel raised an eyebrow.
"Tommaso?" she asked.
Bella just nodded. Rachel hadn't even realised she had given him her number.
"It's been really great meeting you Spencer. You should meet Lily, she'd love to have someone smart around" Bella continued.
Spencer grinned.
"Thanks, it's been lovely meeting you too" she replied.
Bella then turned her attention to Rachel.
"Hey, how do you say 'How are you?' in Italian?" she asked.
"Bells, he's pretty fluent in English" she replied.
Bella rolled her eyes.
"Do you know it or not?" she pressed.
"Come stai" she replied.
Bella grinned widely.
"Thanks, I'll let you know how it goes" she replied, flashing both Rachel and Spencer a smile before heading out.
It was then Spencer turned his gaze to Rachel.
"You speak Italian?" he asked, seeming genuinely impressed.
She shrugged.
"Not really. I told you I travel a lot- I just know what I need to" she replied modestly.
He nodded.
"Do you speak any other languages?" he continued. He was interested in finding out as much as he could about her. It seemed the more time he spent with her, the more sides to her he saw.
Again, she shrugged.
"A little Spanish. I had to study French in school anyways so I'm pretty fluent in it" she replied casually.
He grinned.
"Wow, I must say I'm quiet impressed" he admitted.
She glanced up at him from where she was still lying on the floor.
"Don't be. I've spent a lot of time in Paris - you tend to pick it up" she replied.
He rolled his eyes.
"Don't sell yourself short" he told her, meeting her eye.
She smiled slightly.
Her stomach making a noise which sounded like some kind of dying whale broke the moment. She sat up quickly, patting her stomach as Spencer grinned.
"I'm pretty hungry. You wanna go get something to eat?" she asked.
He raised an eyebrow.
"Where?" he asked.
She shrugged.
"Well there's this restaurant I like in Dumfries. We could go there?" she suggested.
His eyes widened slightly.
"A-A restaurant?" he seemed somewhat flustered at the idea.
She nodded slowly.
"Yeah. A restaurant is a place where people go to dine-" she began but he cut her off quickly.
"I know what a restaurant is. I was just taken off guard.. But yeah - sure" he replied softly.
She gave him a funny look, a little confused at how flustered he was but nodded.
"Great, let's go so" she said, hopping up off of the floor, heading towards the door, grabbing her bag as she did.
He followed behind her and watched as she grabbed her keys.
She gave him a grin.
"I'm driving" she commented, causing him to roll his eyes.
