Kenzie couldn't wrap her brain around what happened last night. Stu kissed her and she would be lying if she said she didn't like it, but him leaving without a word confused the hell out of her. She'd never experienced a kiss like that in her life. Him leaving right after he kissed her really made her think maybe he didn't like her as much as she hoped he did.
That morning Kenzie and Spencer headed to the airport to head to Chicago for the weekend. Spencer noticed something was kind of off about her behavior because of how quiet she was, but he decided he wasn't going to push her. They loaded the plane and went to their seats. Right before Kenzie was about to put her headphones in her stopped her.
"Kenz what's wrong because you're acting kinda weird?"
Kenzie looked at him quizzically, "I'm fine Spence" she lied. "You know I'm not a morning person".
"That's true, but I know you too well and something's wrong so spill."
"
Kenzie took a deep sigh before answering. "Okay. Stu kissed me last night."
"Umm that is nothing to be upset about Kenzie, you like him."
"Yea I know, but then he just left. He didn't say a word, just up and left and I just sat there confused like a idiot."
"Well that is kind of weird"
"I know. I don't know if he was just caught up in the moment or if he did it because he likes me"
"He likes you silly. I already told you this"
"Don't start Spence."
She was about to attempt to put her headphones in again, but Spencer had asked another question before she could. "Did you kiss him back?" Kenzie stared at him for a moment bewildered.
"Yes I did."
"So I'm assuming you liked it?"
"Yes I did" she answered matter-of-factly. She was annoyed with his desire to play 21 questions, she just wanted to sleep.
"Now if you're done playing 21 questions I'd like to sleep" she spoke. "Wake me up when we get there" Kenzie said before she put her headphones in and went to sleep. He simply nodded in response before turning his focus on his iPad.
Spencer looked at Kenzie while she was sleeping she looked so beautiful at the moment to him. He thought it was odd that now that he knows she doesn't have feelings for him anymore, he was starting to develop them for her. He didn't know where the sudden feelings came from, but they're there. He couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Stu, he was on his way to claiming what he thinks he wants, and that's Kenzie.
When they landed at O'Hare in Kenzie and Spencer went and grabbed their bags and then went and grabbed some lunch at Potbelly's per Kenzie's demand. During lunch they both talked about how happy they were to be back in Chicago and discussed their plans.
"Have you talked to Stu yet?"
"Nope. I think I'm just going to not speak to him this weekend."
"But why?"
"I just need time to collect my thoughts I guess. I don't know."
Silently Spencer was glad that Kenzie planned on not speaking to Stu. Maybe he could make his move.
"Well maybe that's a good thing for now."
He didn't know how he was going to do it, but he was going to make sure Kenzie knew how he felt by the weekends end.
Stu was frustrated to say the least, he hadn't heard a word from Kenzie besides her responding to his text if she landed safely since he kissed her last night. He grabbed his iPad and checked her twitter since it seemed it was the only way he was going to figure out how her weekend was going. He was starting to feel like he scared her off by kissing her. He could only hope that wasn't the case, and just hoping she was trying to give herself some space after everything.
He saw some of her pictures from twitter and she looked so happy to be around her friends. His smile faded the moment he saw a picture of her and Spencer. He still looked at him as competition and Stu still feels like he might try and pull something. He wanted to text or call her just to see how she was doing, to hear her voice, ask her if she was having a good time, but he knew he needed to give her space.
Spencer and Kenzie went out to a bar that night and met up with some more friends. When she came in his room from her adjoining one, his breath was caught, she looked beyond sexy to him. They've gone out together so many times and he didn't know why he was feeling this way towards her all of the sudden. Could it be the fact she liked someone else and now he wanted her because she was over him? To be honest he never knew why he hadn't ever thought about dating her, he knew she liked him, but he never knew why he didn't pursue her.
"You look great Kenz, you ready to go?"
"I am. Let's get going."
They both hopped in the back of a cab heading to one of their favorite bars where they were greeted by some friends. Both of them had a great time catching up with friends and dancing. Kenzie had been dancing with some guy who asked her and Spencer was trying not to be obvious in the fact that he was watching her and a bit jealous. After the guy left, Kenzie was dancing with some of her girlfriends when he made his way over to her.
"Dance with me Kenz" he said
"Is that a questions or a statement?" she asked before giggling a bit.
"Oh come on."
"Oh hush you know I'm kidding."
She thought nothing of it since they'd danced together so many times before. Kenzie thought it was weird because he was a whole lot more touchy feely than usual, but she didn't think much into it as they continued to move to the beat. After they were done dancing he took her to a booth in an more secluded area of the club. They talked for a bit and then out of nowhere Spencer kissed her. Even though she kissed back and she'd been wanting that to happen for a while, she didn't know how to feel.
She finally pulled away from him and just stared at him for a moment, then she left. She said goodbye to her friends and then caught a cab back to the hotel. To say she was confused at the moment would be an understatement. In the last 24 hours both Stu and Spencer had kissed her and they were both out of left field to her. She needed to wrap her head around what's going on.
