Chapter 3: It's My Brunette Angel!

-Spencer's POV-

My room looks like it got hit by a clothes tornado, intensity 8 on the ritcher scale! I mean seriously, I can't even find my floor or my feet for that matter! I jump on my bed and sit indian Indian style.

"Oh feet there you are, it's been a long half hour since I last saw you!" I cry out dramatically.

So we have been here (in LA) 3 days and we're all settled in and fully unpacked, but looking at my room now, I wish I had waited a little longer to put my room in order. I sigh inwardly. It's the weekend, and that means it's the fateful day of date mommy dearest has
arranged for me.

I don't dread it, but i'm not all rainbows and unicorns about it. Ha. Who am I kidding, I am totally rainbows and unicorns! Suddenly my room door slams open, literally! And lo and behold, my... MOM! She caught me mid-grin and gave me an odd look. I do the only thing I can do, I shrug it off. Explaining myself would be too much of a hassle.

"Spencer honey, I got you this outfit for your date. It's the least I could do after springing the idea on you," mom says while holding up a teal knee length dress and I was in awe. It was simple but it was the right color to bring out the color of my baby blues and it was modest enough to not scream slut, but revealing enough to draw attention. Mom sure had good taste, gotta hand it to her.

I leaped off the bed to reach for the dress, when I tripped over one of my belts that I had conveniently thrown on the floor earlier. This led to the current situation that has me face down on the ground at my mom's feet with a pile of clothes surrounding me. I guess mom finally registered the disaster that is my room. How do I know?

"Spencer, you're cleaning up before you leave to see Andrea," mom says as she hung the dress at my door and left my room. Yeah that's how I know. Anyway Andrea is the name of my date. Apparently, she just started working in the legal department of one of the well known companies in LA. At least we have that in common.

Three long hours of putting my room back in order and getting ready, i'm finally dressed up and ready for my date. As I was about to go down the stairs, I heard the doorbell ring.

"Here goes nothing," I breathe out and continue making my way down. I heard my mother laughing and another female voice, which i'm assuming would be my Andreas'.

When I finally reached the foot of the stairs I mustered the courage to look at the doorway and saw, my brunette angel. It was her! The one I saw while in traffic. Only her hair was done up in a ponytail today. Up close I notice that her brown eyes that left me in a trance were so light brown that it's almost amber. She wore a yellow halter top with a pleated skirt, and she looked simply stunning. I was doing a happy dance in my head because maybe this wouldn't be so bad, afterall it was my brunette angel.

"Both of you might want to close your mouths else i'll be moping drool off the floors all night long," my mother chuckles. Way to embarrass me mom! A coat of red tinted my cheeks and I noticed that Andrea was in a similar state.

"Hi.." we both breathe out and giggle. After introductions were out of the way, my mother ushered us out the door telling us to have a jolly good time. Did I say embarrassing? Worst part was she ushered us right into the arms of dad and Glen and Clay who were just
coming home. Worst moment of my life, hands down! And I would like to thank my mom for this moment, I will never forget her kind deeds. Pfft.

Finally, we got into Andrea's car. Safe at last! I breathe out a huge sigh and I hear a soft giggle coming from beside me making me turn.

"Your family is great. So loveable," Andrea says with a charming smile.

"Yeah, they're something. But I wouldn't trade them for the world," I say sincerely.

We set off on out date. She brought me to this cosy italian restaurant and was the perfect gentlewoman all evening. I was impressed to say the least. Conversation flowed easily and it was comfortable. Sadly, that was it, comfortable. No sparks, no electrifying chemistry. No terrible urge to leap over the table to kiss the girl senseless. It was just comfortable. Don't get me wrong, Andrea is all sorts of hot and sweet and charming and she's basically a dream. But i'm looking for my own brand of perfect with fireworks.

After dinner, Andrea said she had to take me home as she had an early meeting the next day. I assured her that I understood and I actually had fun. It was so much more than I expected. For being truthful, I got a peck on the cheek. She sure knows how to make a girl blush!

"Hey Spence?" Andrea calls out right before I open the door of the car, so I turn to face her and tilt my head questioningly.

"I had fun today, but there just wasn't any sparks. Don't get me wrong, you're a great girl, beautiful, smart and anyone would be lucky to have you, and yeah, but yeah, no sparks, but you're a great girl, but..." I cut off her ramble with a friendly kiss on the cheek and let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Breathe Andy, I get it, I feel the same way. But I do know I want you in my life, you're a gem as a friend," I smile and I see her visibly relax.

"Thanks Spence. Hey! In the spirit of friendship i'd like to invite you to a masquerade party i'm throwing tomorrow night at my place. Dress up and bring a mask! I'd love to have you there!" Andrea replies.

"Sure, i'll be there," I smile, and with one last hug, we said our goodbyes. I made my way to my doorstep with a smile on my face thinking how well the day went. Then suddenly it hit me, so hard...

"Oh. My. God. What am i going to wear tomorrow?"
