I'm so ready to get this update going! I've had two Spemily stories on my plate lately. This one, which is more of a drama, and another called "A First Time for Everything," and it's more fluffy. So be sure to check it out too!
As usual, enjoy and review!
…
Spencer carefully examined her appearance in her full length mirror. Everything had to be perfect. She loved the new dress she was wearing. It was a knee-length, ruby red, 1940's style dress. The polyester-cotton blend hugging her slight figure perfectly. She adjusted everything from the classical square cut bust line, to the silky black ribbon that was going around her waist. Her brown eyes then moved on, satisfied with her dress, and down to her black flats. In a way she felt like Allie from The Notebook. The dress resembled a dress that Allie would wear on her dates with Noah.
She looked at her watch and read the time. It read eight o' clock on the dot. She knew Emily would probably be arriving soon. She grabbed her black shoulder bag and went down to wait. A minute later, sure enough, there was a soft, shy knock on the door. Spencer smiled, knowing Emily anywhere, even from a knock. As she moved to open the door, Veronica walked into the kitchen and stopped when she saw Spencer's appearance.
"You look nice…where are you going?" Her mother asked curiously as Spencer continued to move towards the door.
"Well, I have a date tonight," Spencer nodded as she prepared to open the door.
"With who?" Veronica gave her daughter a playful smile. Spencer pulled the door open and stepped aside.
"With Emily," Spencer said quietly, waiting for her mother's reaction.
"Oh, Emily! It's good to see you again. You look beautiful!" Veronica smiled, unphased.
"You too," Emily giggled a little and eyed Spencer, "thanks."
"I won't keep you guys waiting. I hope your date is fun!" Veronica said, turning to mind her own in the kitchen.
"Bye, mom," Spencer said, surprised, as she and Emily walked out onto the porch, "she didn't even care."
Emily laughed a little and smiled at Spencer as they stood face to face. "You look absolutely incredible. Red is definitely your color, Spence." Emily looked Spencer up and down.
"Well on the contrary, yellow is yours!" Spencer pointed at Emily's strapless yellow sundress that she wore with white flip flops. Emily grinned and leaned in to give Spencer a short, sweet kiss. When she pulled back, Spencer grinned lazily.
"Where are we going?" Spencer asked as Emily laced her fingers with her own and pulled Spencer towards the car.
"You'll see."
"Oh, so that's how it is, huh? And I suppose you won't tell me what you cooked either?" Spencer asked jokingly.
"Yep! It's all a surprise."
"But I hate surprises."
"That's because we're all used to A messages. Those are all a surprise. But this will make you smile. I promise," Emily explained sweetly. Spencer smiled as they pulled out of the driveway and away from Spencer's house.
"Did you tell your mom where you were going?" Spencer asked.
"Well, I just told her I had a date with someone. And I said if things went well I would introduce her next time," Emily explained, keeping her eyes on the road.
Spencer nodded, "Okay. I don't want to rush you with it." Spencer reached over and touched Emily's arm affectionately.
"Thanks."
…
After ten more minutes in the car, Emily pulled up to the lake. Spencer gave her a confused half smile. "What are we doing here?"
"Just follow me," Emily grinned as she got out of the car and opened the back door to retrieve a basket.
"We're having dinner here?" Spencer asked.
"No…" Emily smirked, nudging Spencer to turn around and face the water that was being kissed by the late evening sky, creating a mix of colors which splayed across the clouds. "We're having dinner there." Emily pointed to a small yacht out on the water.
"But how…? I'm supposed to be the one who rents yachts for my dates!" Spencer joked, turning back to Emily.
"I didn't have to pay for it. I always come out here to swim over the summer, and the owner of that boat, Marco, is my dad's military friend. He said if I ever need a favor to just ask. So, I just asked if he could let us have a date on his boat tonight. And he said yes," Emily shrugged with a smile. Spencer opened her mouth as a grin covered her face and laughed.
"Wow…it's beautiful!"
"Let's go, there's a dingy we're taking out there." Emily led Spencer down to the dock and they climbed into the small motorboat. Emily started the engine and they made their way out to the small yacht.
Spencer climbed out first and didn't hesitate to turn and help Emily out of the dingy and onto the small set of stairs that went up to the deck of the boat. Once on deck, Emily pulled Spencer inside, where Marco sat at the wheel.
"Marco, thank you again for this," Emily smiled.
"Anything for you. After what your dad has done for me, it's my pleasure. Now, you two go have a good time, let me know when you're ready to go. And you know downstairs is all yours," Marco smiled.
"Thanks. C'mon," Emily waved goodbye and led Spencer back out onto the deck, shutting the door behind them. On the back area of the deck, a table for two was set up. There were low lights coming from the edges of the upper part of the boat, which made for a very romantic atmosphere.
"You are so corny!" Spencer grinned when she saw the table.
"Wait until you see what I made for dinner!" Emily set the basket down by the table and pulled out many assorted containers, which were all in hot or cold packs. The first of the dishes was chicken alfredo with long spaghetti noodles. Next was a tropical fruit salad, homemade garlic bread, and last but not least, red velvet cupcakes with chocolate frosting for dessert.
"Em, you made all of that?" Spencer asked, impressed by Emily's culinary skills.
"Well, my mom would always teach me how to cook all of my favorite foods, so that someday I could make them myself," Emily explained as she carefully dished out the food onto the plates.
"It looks delicious," Spencer nodded with approval.
"It tastes even better," Emily grinned, picking up a strawberry from the fruit salad and offering it to Spencer. Spencer smirked and leaned forward to let Emily feed it to her. Spencer took a bite and watched Emily slowly bring the remaining half up to her lips to bite. The whole time their eyes never diverting from one another. Spencer licked her lips after finishing her bite and leaned in to give Emily a nice wet kiss.
"Perfect," Spencer whispered, giving Emily a chill down her spine.
"We um, should eat. Don't you think?" Emily asked somewhat nervously. Spencer smiled sweetly at the beautiful brunette as they sat across from one another.
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Emily jumped up, "I'll be right back!" The tall swimmer made a bee-line for the door leading inside and went in. A few moments later, she appeared with a bottle of champagne and two glasses.
"Oooh, very nice!" Spencer grinned as Emily placed the two glasses on the table and poured some of the bubbly beverage in each cup. Then she placed the bottle in the basket on the side of the table.
"Cheers, to us." Emily raised her glass.
"No, cheers to you, sweet Emily. To you," Spencer smiled lovingly at Emily, who blushed and clinked her glass with Spencer's.
"Let's dig in!" Emily said, picking up her silverware and starting to eat.
"Oh, I have an idea!" Spencer picked up a long noodle and put one end in her mouth while handing the other to Emily. She grinned and accepted it from Spencer's hand, leaning in towards the middle of the table so they could both reach. Then they started eating towards each other, finally meeting for a sweet kiss. They burst into giggles and sat back, they're eyes never leaving each other's.
They ate in a comfortable silence, filled with flirtatious eye contact and the occasional wink or laugh. When they were finished with their food, including the cupcakes and two refills on champagne each, they placed all the remnants in the basket and set it aside.
"I have something else," Emily grinned, going inside once more. Spencer waited patiently, wondering what Emily could have up her sleeve next. Suddenly, the song Iris by The Goo Goo Dolls was playing through the external speakers of the boat. Emily re-emerged and gave Spencer a sexy smile.
"Can I have this dance?" Emily asked teasingly. Spencer just nodded and they wrapped their arms around each other. With her arms around Spencer's back, Emily nuzzled Spencer's hair and inhaled her sweet aroma, her nose and lips grazing over Spencer's cheek as she came back to look at Spencer.
"God, you are just so fucking beautiful." Spencer reached her hand up to tuck a strand of Emily's hair behind her ear as they swayed slowly to the beat of the music. "I'm so happy I don't have to see you hurt anymore. I'm sorry that I put you through all that."
"Well, I didn't exactly help either. I was so caught up in worrying about everyone else instead of thinking about what I wanted. And it turned out that what I wanted the whole time was you, Spence," Emily said honestly, her hands subconsciously rubbing up and down Spencer's back. Spencer grinned and leaned in so that her nose brushed with Emily's.
"You know, Em, you confuse me, and you infuriate me, and you can't make up your mind sometimes, and you are too sweet for your own good," Spencer began, receiving a look from Emily before she continued, "But you're also the one who I can always talk to. You always know how to make me smile, you calm me down when I'm stressed out, and you tell me when I mess up. And lastly, you make me happier than anyone else in my life," Spencer confessed, cupping Emily's face in her hands. Emily grabbed Spencer's waist and pulled her flush against her lean body so their lips met in a passionate kiss. Spencer's hands laced into Emily's silky hair as their tongues intertwined. Emily smiled into the kiss and nibbled Spencer's lower lip before pulling back, leaving Spencer wanting more.
"This dress really is beautiful, Spence," Emily fingered the red fabric, tracing patterns on the material covering Spencer's hip. Spencer's hands fell to rest on the inside of Emily's upper arms. Her senses tingled with arousal as Emily kept a dangerously sexy look in her eyes and her hands continued to run up and down Spencer's sides. She ran them from Spencer's hips all the way up to just under her breasts and back down again.
Spencer was at a loss for words as Emily continued her tantalizing actions. They showed a new side of Emily, a side that Spencer never would have dreamed existed. Spencer leaned forward and stole a kiss from the tan girl, who kissed her back with a gentle touch, smiling into Spencer's lips.
When they pulled back again, Spencer bit her lip and blushed, feeling a wave of affection for Emily wash over her. The song changed to True by Spandau Ballet.
"Now this is cheesy!" Spencer giggled at the song choice.
"It's how I do dates!" Emily gave a shrug, "Think you can get used to it?" She had a teasing look in her eyes.
Spencer smirked and nodded, "Definitely." She leaned in and captured Emily's lips again. This time, they stopped swaying and deepened the kiss. There seemed to be no boundaries between them as they longed for more contact.
After a few minutes, Spencer pulled back and looked out at the now completely dark lake.
"Spence, can I ask you something?" Emily asked as they stepped, hand in hand, over to the back of the boat to look out onto the calm water.
Spencer looked at Emily and nodded, "Anything."
"Have you ever had sex? With anyone?" Emily looked down at her hands with embarrassment.
Spencer slowly shook her head and looked back out at the water, "No…never. Have you?"
Emily sighed, the memory making her heart ache, "Once…with Samara."
"I want you to be my first time," Spencer said quietly. Emily's eyes widened a little bit.
"Tonight?" Emily asked, surprise in her voice.
Spencer laughed a little and shook her head again, "No. But sometime. Sometime when we have the whole night to ourselves. We'll go somewhere we won't be bothered, and it'll be super cheesy!" Spencer joked at the end, causing Emily to break out into a smile. She gave Spencer's hand a light squeeze as she brought it up to kiss.
"I'd really like that."
…
"Tonight was unbelievable," Spencer said as the two of them stood in Spencer's kitchen upon arriving back at the house.
"Yeah, I'm really happy you said yes." Emily smiled as she leaned back against the kitchen counter, Spencer standing in front of her.
"How could I pass up a date with you?" Spencer asked, leaning forward to kiss Emily on the lips, but they were interrupted by Veronica coming down the stairs. The two stepped apart in embarrassment, but not in time for Veronica not to see.
"I'm guessing the date went well, then?" Veronica asked with a smile. Spencer and Emily looked at each other before Spencer answered.
"Um, yeah. It went really well. We were just…planning a second date," Spencer said awkwardly.
"Mhm…and how is that going?" Her mom asked jokingly.
"Mom…" Spencer gave her mom a look as her cheeks turned scarlet.
"Sorry, sorry! I'll stop," Veronica chuckled as she walked into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee.
"Well, I better go Spence. I'll text you later," Emily stepped towards the door.
"I'll walk you to your car." Spencer looked back at her mother before following Emily out the door. Emily stopped when she reached her car and turned back to face Spencer.
"Goodnight. Thank you for a great night," Spencer said softly, holding Emily's hand.
"Night, Spence." Emily stepped up and gave Spencer a nice, lingering kiss. "Bye," She husked against Spencer's lips.
"Bye." Spencer watched as Emily slid into her car and pulled off into the night.
…
That Wednesday, while Spencer was in her AP Government class, her phone buzzed and she looked down to see who it was from.
Emma: Hey! I've got a bunch of tickets to the Blink 182 concert in Philidelphia. I was wondering if you, Emily, and your friends would all like to come with me. There's someone I want you to meet. :)
Spencer grinned and quickly replied without her teacher seeing.
That would be amazing! But how did you score them?
She looked back up at the front of the room, pretending to pay attention as she awaited a response. Five minutes passed before her phone buzzed again.
Emma: Let's just say my dad might know one of the band's managers ;) you know how it goes!
Spencer agreed. She knew what it was like to have connections in the family.
I see. Well, when is the concert?
Emma: in a week and a half. It falls on a Friday.
Okay, sounds fun! I'll let you know if all the girls can go!
Spencer finished the last text and hit send, just in time to catch then end of her teacher's extensive lecture, unable to wipe the smile from her face.
…
Okay, kids! Now I'm going to update "A First Time for Everything." I hope you all enjoyed this!
