AN: Ok, here's another one, not too long, not to exciting, just some cute little romance. Enjoy and review!

Kayleigh was just finishing getting ready for her date with Spencer when the phone rang. "Hey, Kayleigh, I'm so sorry to do this, but I'm going to have to cancel tonight, Carly isn't feeling well, and I just don't feel comfortable leaving her alone."

"Oh, I completely understand," she said immediately, but he could hear the disappointment in her voice and felt horrible. It had been a stressful week and he had really been looking forward to seeing her. He knew it wasn't Carly's fault, but he couldn't help but feel a little resentment for having to stay in on a Friday night, instead of taking out a beautiful girl that he really liked.

"Spencer?" Kayleigh asked, and Spencer realized he had spaced out.

"Yeah, sorry, I'm just disappointed."

"Me too…I understand though, I really do…" more silence from them both.

"Well, I'll let you get back to Carly, let me know if you need anything, like me to do a store run or something."

'Well, if you don't mind stopping over, I'm sure Carly could go for some…um…" Spencer quickly tried to think of something.

"Ginger ale?" Kayleigh interjected.

"Yes, exactly, took the words right out of my mouth."

"I'll be over in a little while."

An hour later Spencer heard a knock at the door. He opened it to find Kayleigh standing with two large paper grocery bags. She still had her hair done nice and makeup on, but she had changed into jeans and a t-shirt. He leaned in to kiss her while taking the bags from her arms. "Hey hun, thanks for running errands," he said, letting her in. "No problem, I just really wanted to see you tonight. Sure you don't mind me hanging around?"

"Not at all, Carly's just watching movies in her room, and I can check on her plenty. Want to watch a movie or something?"

"Sure, I actually grabbed a movie from the video store on my way here. I have no idea what it's about, but there were zombie sheep on the cover, so I figured it would be interesting…why are you looking at me like that?"

Spencer was staring at her with his mouth slightly open. "Nothing, I just really like you," he said, grinning wildly. He brought Carly some ginger ale and crackers upstairs before returning downstairs. Kayleigh was already plopped on the couch, her legs stretched across the couch. He sat down next to her, putting her legs over his. They started the movie, but Spencer's hand on Kayleigh's leg was distracting him, and when he noticed that she was watching him instead of the movie, he abandoned all pretense and leaned over to kiss her hard on the mouth. He had waited all week for this, a chance to see her, be with her, smell her hair, and forget everything else.

He gently eased her down on the couch as the kissing got more and more passionate. She lay down on her back and placed her hand on the back of his neck, pulling him down to her. He ran his fingers through her hair before running his hands down her body, gently grazing the sides of her breasts before settling his hands on her thighs. She wrapped her legs around his waist and pushed her hips up into his while her hands slid under the back of his shirt, running over his bare back up to his shoulders. Suddenly, he came to his senses. Spencer immediately pulled away from her, sitting back on the other end of the couch. Kayleigh looked hurt.

"Oh, no, baby, don't think I don't want to, it's just, you know," he gestured upstairs.

"Oh my God, Spencer, you're right, I am so sorry, I completely forgot."

"No, Kayleigh, it's fine, I did too…we just got a bit carried away." He paused. "Can't really blame you, I am adorable." Kayleigh laughed, and the tension of the moment was broken. "I'm going to go check on Carly, and then maybe we can try watching that movie again."

Kayleigh nodded and headed to the fridge to get some snacks. "I promise not to molest you on the couch this time," she promised, winking at him as he headed up the stairs.

"Well that's slightly disappointing…" he winked back.

A few minutes later he joined her back on the couch, putting his arm around her, pulling her close to him. She resisted at first, but finally settled down with her head on his shoulder. "Are you sure this is ok?" she asked hesitantly.

"Of course," he replied, rubbing her shoulder. "I just need to focus my mind on the movie."

"Instead of…?" she prompted, clearly teasing.

Spencer shifted a little. "Ripping your clothes off…" he half-said, half-coughed. She laughed and poked him in the ribs.

"It'll happen eventually…we'll figure it out." She nuzzled his shoulder and neck and kissed his jaw.

"This is not helping…" he groaned.

"Sorry, I'll be good, I promise."

An hour later, Kayleigh was dozing on Spencer's shoulder. He felt her stirring slightly and kissed her head gently. Eyes still closed, she tilted her head up asking for a kiss. He gladly obliged.

"So comfy," she mumbled, still half asleep.

"Hey Kayleigh?" he asked her softly, getting a mumble of acknowledgment. "Are you sure you are going to be ok with all this?"

"All what?" she asked, waking up considerably at his question and looking right in his eyes.

"All these complications, rules, changes of plans. I know it's not exactly ideal for you to spend a Friday night on a couch keeping me company. Plus the fact that we have been dating for a month and have only kissed. I feel like I'm 13 again."

Kayleigh wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him deeply before answering.

"Yeah, it's not easy, I admit. But it's worth it. It's new, we'll figure it out. And although I am just as eager to enjoy the physical aspect of you, I know it'll be well worth the wait when we get a chance." She kissed him again. "I really, really like you, Spencer Shay, i'm not going to be easily scared off because of different circumstances. I enjoy a challenge."

He wrapped his arms around her and held her close. He had had this slight fear that she would get sick of the rules and the plan changes and leave, but at this moment, he felt reassured. Finally she broke the embrace.

"Sorry, but I'm exhausted, I'd better get home. Call me tomorrow?"

"Definitely. Night, Kayleigh."
