Chapter 5

Later that evening, Emily is asleep at Spencer's shoulder while watching the Notebook. Spencer couldn't stop watching her sleep and looking at her lips, desperately wanting to kiss her. As Spencer moves closely to Emily lips, the sound of the knocking at the door interrupted her. Both of them jumped into their sits when they heard it.

"I think that's your sister Spence."

"Fine, I'll get it, you stay there."

"I'm not going anywhere."

Spencer stood up and went straight to the door. Without hesitation she shouted:

"What do you want?"

Her mother is shocked on the reaction of her own daughter, so was Spencer.

"Oh my god Mom, I'm sorry."

"Good evening to you too darling… It seems that you have a visitor" as she tries to peek at their living room.

"Yeah mom, so don't try to embarrass me."

"And when did I embarrass you?"

"All the time, every time that I'm with someone, you always embarrass me."

"I only embarrass you if you like that person… Wait, you like this person don't you?"

"MOM!"

Mrs. Hastings went inside the house and walked straight to Emily.

"Hi, I'm Veronica Hastings, Spencer's mother. And you are?"

"Emily Fields, it is nice to meet you Mrs. Hastings"

"It is nice to meet you too. Have you eaten dinner yet?"

"Not yet Mrs. Hastings."

"You don't have to be so polite you know, you can call me Veronica."

Veronica faced Spencer with an evil smile and asked her to prepare dinner for the four of them.

"Four? Even Melissa?"

"Yes, even Melissa. Now I'll be right back, I'm just going to call your sister and we'll eat dinner together, okay?"

"Fine."

"Oh and Emily, can you help Spencer to prepare dinner?

"Sure Mrs. Hastings"

Spencer has struck with happiness when she heard that Emily will help her with cooking, so she went straight to their kitchen to show off her skills while Emily just stand there and watch her prepare the meal for the night. When everything is done, Spencer called her mother and her sister and on the other hand, Emily is still preparing the table for the four of them.

Awkward silence filled the air for Spencer as they eat their dinner with the presence of her mother and Emily together at the same room. Everyone is staring at each other, waiting for one person to speak up, but no one had the guts to do it but Melissa is tired for the silent game so she spoke:

"So Emily, where does your mother work?"

Emily answered "She works at the hospital"

"So she's a nurse?" Veronica asked.

"No, she's a Surgeon."

"Wow, that's cool, so are you planning to be a surgeon like your mother?" Melissa spoke.

"I'm not sure yet, I still like to seek other opportunities before I choose."

"Ah, a smart decision, you know you're just like Spencer over here: Smart, beautiful and really available."

Emily coughed her drink when she heard what Veronica had said to her while Spencer is slipping on her seat with humiliation.

"I'll keep that in mind Mrs. Hastings but may I ask, how you knew I'm… gay?"

"I just thought that you know… lucky guess? I'm sorry dear if I…"

"It's alright Mrs. Hastings, I think everyone knows that I'm gay, even your daughter here."

"Oh. Well I guess that won't be a problem for my little Spencer, right?"

Spencer wanted to slap her mother because she's too much, she just wanted to enjoy dinner with the girl beside and her mother is just ruining it for her. Emily could see that Spencer is really pissed right now and she wanted to do something so she hold her hand tightly like she wants to say "I love you" but instead they just stared at each other deeply like nobody was around them. Melissa unfortunately broke the bond and said:

"And that's a wrap! I guess mom we'll be the ones who'll clean for tonight."

"Yeah, I can see that. We'll leave you here girls, enjoy your staring… I mean your night."

Spencer looked at her mother like she's about to kill her but Emily pulled her up and went outside their house. Spencer's heartbeat becomes faster as they walked towards the door. And when they finally arrived, there she is, the girl of her dreams shining under the moonlight, the scent of her perfume made Spencer more aroused at the moment and as their faces gotten more close to each other, Emily spoke.

"I really had fun today, thanks Spence"

"No big, and I guess you won't be staying here for the night huh."

"Yeah, I don't want to ruin your night, it's already ruined by your mother."

"Don't worry about my mother, she's just being her… What reason can I give you to make you stay?"

"Try."

Spencer slowly moved her face closely to Emily's and kissed her gently and passionately as possible. Emily feels like there is fireworks around her while kissing Spencer. In her mind, Spencer's lips was soft and warm and she wanted more but Spencer is a tease and broke it off.

"Is it enough now to make you stay?"

"Goodnight Spence"

Emily kissed Spencer's forehead and went home. As Emily walked home, Spencer still watches her until she reaches her home and thinking that she may have a chance on being with Emily. She could have the chance to fall in love with the person she truly loves and not the person who will just use her.
