Author's Note: Oooooooh. Chapter 14. Haha. We're on the way there!

Chapter 14

Spencer took a long shower the next morning. She lathered her hair up with aroma therapy mint tea shampoo and let the massaging showerhead calm her. She hadn't spoken to Aria since the night before, and she couldn't quite understand what had happened either. They'd had the most amazing experience and then fallen asleep in each other's arms.. Only to wind up fighting at three in the morning over Ezra Fitz.

And what was up with that? He just decided to show up at Aria's house in the middle of the night? Spencer could remember the surprised way he'd rose from his seat when she saw her standing there in the kitchen. He had what appeared to be a beard, and his clothes looked wrinkled. Aria had said that he was upset about something and that was why she'd been hugging him. But she wouldn't tell Spencer what it was that he was upset about. Hours before, she'd let Aria go down on her.. And then suddenly, they weren't even close enough to talk about their exes. She shook her head and rinsed her body in the hot water.

Once she was done showering, Spencer dryed herself off with one of the mint green plush towels that her mother had special ordered for her. She decided that today was not really a make-up kind of day, so she just brushed through her hair and dressed in some sweats a long sleeve tee. When she headed downstairs to find some breakfast, she was unhappy to find out that she wasn't alone.

"Morning Spencer," Melissa said, and glanced up from her coffee. "You finally get out of bed?"

Spencer didn't look at her. They didn't get along very well, and it worked better for them if she avoided eyecontact. "I stayed out late last night," she said, and went to the fridge to get out the orange juice.

"Stayed out really late," Melissa agreed. "You came home after three. I heard you go into your room. So what were you doing all night? What kept you out til like 3:30?"

She got out the juice and poured herself a glass. "I was with Aria."

"Just Aria?"

"Yeah? So what?"

Melissa shrugged. "Don't you worry what people will say? Just the two of you hanging out until that time?"

After taking a huge gulp of juice Spencer narrowed her eyes. "We were just having a slumper party Melissa. Not doing drugs or out partying or something."

"Yeah? So what did you two do then? Watch a movie? And why did you come home at three if you were just having a slumber party? Don't slumber parties usually end with..you know. Sleeping?"

"We got into a fight."

"Yeah?" Melissa was suddenly much more interested. "Did you? What about?"

There was a box of donuts sitting by the microwave and Spencer got out a jelly one and started to eat it. She swallowed a big bite and then said, "I don't really wanna talk about it."

"No? Why not? Something secret happen that you don't wanna share with you big sister?"

Spencer could have laughed. "Like I'd share anything with you anyways Melissa. You're not exactly the most trust-worthy person, if you remember. And we don't really get along either, so it's not like I'd WANT to tell you."

"So it's about a boy then," her older sister suggested. "You like someone and Aria is mad?"

Finishing her donut, Spencer sighed. It definitely wasn't about SPENCER liking a boy. She liked Aria. She really liked Aria. "No," she countered. "It's not about me liking someone Melissa. Why do you even care?"

The older Hastings daughter got up and approached her sister. She stood in front of her for a second and then gave her a smile- a really fake smile. "Can't just just CARE about my younger sibling?" she asked.

"No," Spencer replied. "You can't. That's not you. You have some alterior motive. And besides. I'm not involved in anyone. Not anymore."
