Emily received her first medal after three months of being an angel. Everyone was there to celebrate with her.
Aria was so proud. Emily was her first intern who broke the record in such a short time. She kept dragging Emily along, introducing to everybody, even the ones she didn't know herself. Hanna on the other hand, being less obvious than the other. All she did was to get on stage and tell the story of the day Emily graduated. How she fought, how she saved a demon and how heartbroken Hanna was when Emily died. Of course Hanna believed a bit "flavor" would make the story more dynamic so she add a little "details". The "oohs" and "aahs" from the audiences pushed her beyond the limit and at the end, Emily barely recognized herself in the "true story" of Hanna.
The two wowed people so much that Emily was stuck in the crowd that was actually cause by her. Among the white coats around her, there was a single black one stood out with everyone. But the angels had gotten used to it since this black coat had been everywhere Emily had been for the past three months. That day, Spencer went from smiling proudly when Emily's name was announced to clapping till her hands reddened.
As the event went on, the place got louder. Spencer knew Emily hated noises. And this place was reaching her limit. So while Hanna's story was getting longer and more "entertaining" which caught people's attention, Spencer led Emily through the sea of angels, got to the back garden of the theater. Half way through their destination, just when they passed the fence of liana, Spencer suddenly turned around, made Emily almost bumped into her. She quickly caught her midway, pulled Emily into a deep kiss.
Spencer broke it moments later, pecked a lighter one on Emily's lips.
"It's been four hours since the last time we kissed."
Emily smiled. Her arms released Spencer's neck, moved a little lower to fix her collar.
"You dragged me all the way here just for that?"
"Worth it." Spencer smirked back then held both Emily's hands, led her to the nearest bench. "But that's not all. Don't you hate noisy place? It's quieter out here."
Emily couldn't drop her smile, looked lovingly at Spencer then placed a kiss on her cheek. The demon grinned, avoided eye contact, suddenly felt shy. And it made no sense, she just kissed her passionately and was a total badass but a kiss on the cheek melt her into this.
The angel couldn't hold her chuckles in. She linked her arm with Spencer, rested her chin on her shoulder and mimicked Spencer's words.
"Worth it."
Spencer burst out laughing.
"Anyway, the noises are still too loud, take my earphones. You can listen to music till it ends."
"Do you want to listen with me?" Emily said, offered one end for Spencer.
"No, I'm fine. You need both to block the noise."
She answered simply, put her earphones on Emily and carefully removed some hair strands that got in the way. When all were settled, they leaned their backs on the bench, shoulders slightly touched.
Spencer looked over at Emily who was searching for the song she liked, a smile crept onto her lips. Not much time had passed since the day they met but they had gone so far. At least for Spencer. Having something to care about was actually not that bad. And it was great cause she had someone who cared about her too. The whole thing wasn't new to her anymore. That tingling in her heart didn't occur as often as before when she saw Emily. Instead, she felt peaceful. When she caught her sight, when she told her about her day or when they just sat quietly next to each other.
She felt safe.
Her desire to tell Emily how she felt grew stronger each day and though she was confident, a dark part in her heart still hesitated. So even the perfect moment had come, she waited.
When Emily hit the play button on her favorite song, blocking her from the world, words slipped from Spencer's lips.
"I love you."
…
Spencer breathed out a relief, smiling. Maybe next time. The wind rose a little stronger, making Spencer wonder if it agreed with her or not. She looked up at the sky, breathed in deeply. The comfortable silence with Emily once again put a smile on her lips. But it didn't last long.
"Spencer."
"Huh?" As Spencer looked back, raised her brows, Emily already removed the headphone from her ears. She held it loosely, looking right back at Spencer.
"I… um…forgot to tell you."
"Tell me what?" She asked.
"…"
"…"
"I broke your earphones yesterday."
"…"
"I love you, too."
