Dinner
The Montgomery family was seated around the table for dinner
"Sweetie, we wanted it to be a quiet evening with just family. Hope you don't mind that we didn't go out to a restaurant." Byron says filling Ella's glass with wine
"No this is perfect. We haven't had dinner together in a very long time" Aria says looking at Mike
Mike smiles at Aria "Lucky. Mom made all your favorites"
"Hey its your sister's birthday. When yours comes around I will make your favorite dishes too" Ella says passing Aria the salad
"So your mother told me, when you got home today you were really happy. What happened?" Byron asked passing the mashed potatoes to Mike
"Ummm….Spencer and I are kind of dating I guess" Aria says biting her lip
"Really? You and Spencer? Since when?" asked Mike who was shocked, "How come I didn't know about this?"
"Today. I only told mom, but I'm guessing dad knows about it"
"There are no secrets between your mom and me anymore" Byron says "Guessing last night went well?"
"It did, too well I think" Aria says smiling
"So are the two of you open about it or is it on the down-low?" asks Mike
"We haven't discussed that issue. But I don't mind what others say"
"Well if I hear anyone saying anything about the two of you, I will take care of them" Mike says protectively
"Mike! No violence! Your sister can handle it herself" Ella says staring at her son "Are we clear?"
"Yeah sure" Mike says finishing his dinner
Dinner went on for about an hour. The Montgomery family discussed classes at Hollis, Ella's new teaching position, Mike's lacrosse team and giving presents to Aria. Aria was now up in her room calling Spencer.
"Hey Spence"
"Hi, how was dinner?"
"It was nice. We haven't sat down together as a family in a long time"
"Well that's good to hear. You have been so upset because your family was falling apart"
"I know. So Mike asked me a question I wasn't sure how to answer" Aria started saying
"What was the question?"
"Are we going public?"
"umm…..do…..do you want to?" Spencer asks unsure
"If you want to. I'm sure others will see us differently and start talking about us, but if you want to I'm okay with it"
"Aria. Don't let others bother you. But do know that I will always protect you" Spencer says smiling into the phone
"Okay. Oh I don't think I told you. I'm having lunch with Noel tomorrow about his writing" Aria explains
"Oh….ok"
"Its nothing. He just wants some direction. You can come too if you want"
"No I don't want to intrude. That's great that you're helping him though"
"Hey want to come over for Saturday breakfast? I can make your favorite chocolate chip waffles" Aria says excitedly
"Is your family going to be there? Would it be weird?"
"My dad has some staff meeting tomorrow morning, my mom is meeting up with an old friend for brunch across town and Mike is staying over at a friends house tomorrow for his lacrosse practice. So it's just going to be me"
"Alright then. As long as I get my chocolate chip waffles"
"It's a date then. I will see you tomorrow. Good night Spence"
"Good night Aria"
Saturday morning
Spencer woke up early so she has time to pick out the perfect outfit for her first date with Aria. She picked out a beige top, a jacket, with a pair of dark blue skinny jeans paired with boots. She was on her way out to the florist to pick up flowers for Aria and a box of macarons from a pastry shop.
Aria woke up late because she couldn't stop thinking about Spencer. She wanted to kiss her again but wasn't sure if they were moving too fast. Their first kiss was sweet and innocent. It didn't last long but it seemed like it did. By the time Aria woke up she only had 20 minutes to get ready. She took a really quick shower and was standing in front of her closet when the phone rang, she didn't bother looking who was calling
"Hello?"
"Morning beautiful. I'm on my way over now. Thought I'd give you a call to see if you're awake" Spencer says smiling into the phone
"I've been up. I'm just picking out an outfit as we speak"
"What are you wearing?"
"As of now…nothing…just a towel" Aria says looking down
"Like last time? I like it" Spencer says picturing Aria in just a towel
"You'll see when you get here" Aria says blushing
"HAha. You're such a tease. I'll be there in like 10 minutes"
"Okay. See you in a bit. Bye" Aria says hanging up the phone and putting on the outfit she picked out.
After Aria finished putting on her make-up she headed to the kitchen to make coffee and took out the ingredients for chocolate chip waffles. Aria was getting out a pan and plates when she hears the doorbell. Aria opens the door and sees that Spencer is disappointed
"What's wrong? You seem sad"
"You're wearing clothes" Spencer says eyeing Aria up and down
"HAHa. Yes of course I am. I'm not going to walk around naked on our first date"
"Oh. But I wouldn't mind. Feel free to change your decision. And these, are for you" Spencer says handing the flowers to Aria
"Why thank you. You didn't strike me as a gentlemen type Spence"
"Haha well I try to be perfect"
"You are too perfect"
"So where are my waffles?"
"I haven't made them yet"
"Well lets go and make them. Oh and since you said that there was going to be waffles for breakfast, I bought you macarons"
"I'm going to get so fat with all these macarons you keep buying me"
"Well I like buying things for you"
Aria and Spencer start making the waffle batter. They were talking and laughing while they were measuring the ingredients. Then once they were finished, Aria puts the batter into the waffle maker. Spencer decides to pick up some flour at Aria. Aria was caught off guard and just stood there in shock.
"You did not just do that Spencer Hastings!"
"Oh I think I did" Spencer says laughing and running away from Aria
Aria picks up some flour and throws it at Spencer but Spencer dodged it and ran on the other side of the island in the kitchen. Aria runs after Spencer, and Aria was about to slip on some flour that was on the floor
"Ahh!" Aria screamed softly landing on the floor
"Whoa" Spencer says kneeling next to Aria "Are you okay?"
"Ugh…I think so" Aria says trying to get up
"Here let me help you" Spencer says pulling Aria up by her hands "I'm sorry. I didn't mean for that to happen. Are you injured?" Spencer asks examining Aria
"I'm fine. Don't worry about it" Aria says sitting on the counter
"I'm sorry….I'm really sorry" Spencer apologizes and wraps her arms around Aria's waist
"Spence, I'm okay" Aria says leaning in and kissing Spencer. The kiss started off gentle but then Spencer runs her hand up Aria's back. Aria is pushing into Spencer's body as Spencer's tongue enters into Aria's mouth. While their tongues battle, Spencer's hand is roaming under Aria's shirt. And throws the shirt off of her. Aria wraps her legs around Spencer and pulls her in. There was no space in between the two. They finally part but only for a breathe of air and Aria attacks Spencer's lips again while she is unbuttoning her shirt.
Spencer moans into Aria's mouth. She wasn't expecting Aria to take control and that turned her on. Spencer started to suck on Aria's neck. Aria moaned and her hand was tangled in Spencer's hair; her other hand was making its way down. She lightly grazed past Spencer's abdomen and to the top of her jeans unbuttoning the button and unzipping the zipper. Just as Spencer was making it towards Aria's chest, the alarm goes off.
"Oh crap. The waffles" Aria says pushes herself off the counter and turns off the waffle maker. Spencer makes her way to the smoke alarm and turns it off
"That was my fault" Spencer says walking towards the stove area "I let it get out of hand"
"Hey its not like I stopped you" Aria says while staring at Spencer's body. Spencer looks down and sees that her shirt and jeans are unbuttoned. Spencer than looks at Aria, and glances up and down her body before smirking.
"I like what I see, but it was getting out of hand. Not that I'm complaining" Spencer says buttoning the last button on her shirt
Aria blushes while she picks up her shirt that was on the chair
"Pink looks sexy on you" Spencer says before kissing her on the cheek "well it's a good thing I bought some macarons before coming over"
"Its okay, we have enough batter for another batch" Aria says picking up the bowl of batter "Plus you wanted your chocolate chip waffles"
"Nooo. I just wanted to spend some time with you. After what just happened, waffles are not on my mind anymore" Spencer says talking the bowl out of Aria's hand "Get mugs for the coffee"
Aria pours the coffee into each mug and walks over to the table where Spencer was sitting with an opened box of assorted macarons
"Here I know you're going to love the lemon flavored one. Try it" Spencer says putting the yellow macaron on Aria's small plate
"Mmmm this is so good. Here you have some too" Aria says lifting the other half to Spencer. Instead Spencer leans into Aria and pushes her tongue into Aria's mouth and tasting the lemon macaron. Aria moans at the contact
"Mmmm tastes delicious" Spencer says once she parted her lips from Aria's
"ehem. Yea it does" Aria says clearing her throat and taking a deep breathe to calm herself down
"You okay?"
"Yea I am. I just didn't expect us to move so fast"
"I'm sorry Aria. I didn't think about it. It just took me so long to tell you my feelings that I don't want to waste anymore time. I'm sorry for not thinking and talking it over with you"
"Spence. You need to stop apologizing. And I don't want to waste any time either. I'm fine with the pace this is going" Aria says planting a small kiss and pulling away before it got to heavy "And plus I thought about what it was like kissing Spencer Hastings was going to be like, now I know"
"…."
"For someone who is great at everything, I'm not shocked at all"
"Hahahaa. Hey lets finish up with this so we can go for a walk before you go meet up with Noel"
10 minutes later they finished, washed the dishes, and cleaned the mess from earlier. Spencer and Aria were walking to a nearby park. They sit down at a bench.
"Spence….you know the present I gave you? Did you open it yet?"
"No I haven't. I wanted to open it on your birthday but I never got around to it because…" Spencer said, thinking back to that night she was in her room upset
"That's fine. I was actually hoping that you wouldn't open it yet"
"Oh…okay. I will open it when you want me to"
"Okay. Thanks Spence"
"So, should I be worried about Noel?"
"What? Of course not! He is nothing compared to you"
"Well him and Jason are two people that you liked a lot when we were younger. Ali used to say how much you liked the two of them"
"I broke up with Jason because I knew I cared for you more than a friend should. Ali just wanted us to be a family; she thought she connected with her brother when it came to me. As for Noel Khan- Yeah he's cute and has nice eyes but he doesn't stand a chance compared to this tall, extremely smart, and athletic girl that looks great in everything she wears"
"Okay okay. I get your point. We should head back to the house so you can meet this guy that has nice eyes"
"Well is the captain of the varsity field hockey team going to be there? Do I get to have her to myself for the rest of the day?"
"I was going to see what Hanna and Emily are up to. Afterwards though we will see"
"Oh I haven't had girl time with them either. After I meet Noel, I'll come over"
"Alright. This is your house. See you later sunshine" Spencer says getting her car keys out and opening her car door
"Bye Spence" Aria says walking over to her own car and getting in
