Spencer's POV...
I wipe my sweaty hands on my jeans and then shut off my car. I'm really nervous about tonight, first dates never fail to freak me out and make me insanely nervous. I don't want to screw this up and no this doesn't have to do with the stupid bet I made with Hanna, I could care less about the bet, what I care about is not making a fool of myself and not saying anything to upset Emily. I'm not good at first dates, I always seem to fuck them up, I either say the wrong thing, or do something the other person doesn't like.
I wipe my hands on my jeans again, pick up the white Camellia flowers from the back seat and get out the car. I make my way up the driveway and to the front door. I raise my hand to knock on the door but it swings open before my hand comes in contact with it.
"Awww for me Spencer, you shouldn't have."Hanna said smirking at me and taking the flowers. "Ugh. What are you doing here Han?"I asked taking my flowers back and stepping inside the house. "Making sure I win the bet, of course."
"Hanna, let Spencer and Emmy go on their date in peace please."Mr Fields said walking over to us. He smiled at me and looked at the flowers in my hand. "Those are beautiful Spen, Emily will love them."He said giving me a quick hug and calling Emily down.
Emily walks down the stairs, smiling at me and looking as beautiful as ever. She's wearing a dark blue hockey jersey, black skinny jeans, black combat boots and a dark blue beanie. It's a very tomboyish look and insanely sexy on her.
"Hey Spence."Emily said kissing my cheek. "You look amazing Em, these are for you."I said giving her the flowers. "They're beautiful Spencer, what kind are they?"She asked bringing the flowers up to smell them.
"Their Camellia, they mean You're Adorable. They are very pretty Spencer."Pam said walking into the small hall we are all standing in. I give her a smile and turn back to Emily. "Are you ready to go? We have enough time to get something to eat before the movie."
"Yeah let's go, Mom can you put these in a vase for me please?"Emily asked handing the flowers over to her Mother. "Yes, have her home by one Spencer."Pam called after us as we walked out the door, hand in hand.
I walk Emily over to the passenger side and open the door for her. Once Emily is in the car, I run around to the driver side and get in. "So where are we going to eat at?"She asked looking over at me as I back the car out of the driverway. "If I tell you, I'd have to kill you."I joked, winking at her and sending her a smile. She rolls her eyes and intertwines our finger together.
-oOo-(page breaker)
"Oh my God, Spencer this is amazing."Emily whispered taking in the sight before her. We're at the creek, where I had Blake and Marissa set up a table in the middle of the bridge. On the table is two candles, two wine glasses and two plates of Emily's favorite takeout. All around the bridge is candles and red chrysanthemum petals.
"I hope this isn't too much, I want tonight to be perfect for you, I want this to be a night you'll remember."I whispered leading Emily to the table.
"It isn't too much Spence, its perfect you're perfect."She said sitting down on one side of the table. I take a seat on the other side and pour some red wine into our glasses, handing Emily her's.
"I'm not perfect Em, I'm far from it."
"You're perfect to me Spencer."She said leaning over the table to kiss my cheek. "Well if you think I'm perfect then I must be."I laughed reaching across the table to take her hand.
"What kind of flower are these?"Emily asked picking up some of the petals with her free hand. "Chrysanthemum."
"What do they mean?"
"I love you."I whispered smiling at her. She smiled at me and placed the petals back down then picked up her fork. "How did you do all this?"She asked then took a bite of her pasta. "Blake and Marissa helped me out, Blake owed me."I shrugged. "Remind me to thank them."She smiled.
"When do you get your cast off?"She asked twirling her pasta with her fork. "Two months, two long months of no sports or guitar."I said sadly. It sucked not being able to play guitar or lacrosse. Sure I could play lacrosse one handed but I wouldn't be able to play with my team, it would just be Marissa and I in my back yard.
"I'm sure we can find something to pass the time till your arm heals."She said in a soft seductive tone and winked at me. My eyes fall shut as I image all the things I could do to her, all the ways I could make love to her to pass the time. I think the next two months just got better. "You'll be the death of me."I smiled opening my eyes and starting to eat again.
Emily's POV...
We made small talk as we ate, about school, my parents and her family. I had asked her if her parents knew about us and everything that had happened and she said no, they weren't home long enough for her to talk to them. She plans on telling them next week when they get back from New York, and asked if I would be there with her. I had promised her I would be there.
Having dinner over the creek, as the sun started to set, was beautiful and perfect. The way the candles lit Spencer's face when the sun went down, was breathtaking, I've never seen something so beautiful in my life. Our date has been perfect so far and it wasn't even half way over. How much better could tongiht get?
Now we're walking down the path that leads back to her car. "I want to show you something."She said walking off the path and to a huge oak tree. "When I said I couldn't hang out the other day, this was why."She said pointing to our names carved into the tree and a circle carved around them. "I want everyone who comes through here to see that I'm your's and that I love you."She whispered running her fingers over my name. "Why a circle and not a heart?"I asked.
"Hearts can be broken, circles go on forever."She said pulling me into her arms and kissing my head. Okay tonight just got better, I think Spencer just made me fall in love with her more.
I've never known this side of Spencer, I've never knew she was so romantic. Yes we've all known the charming Spencer, the Spencer who could say one cheesy line and have any girl she wanted in bed with her. Spencer showed a lot of sides but never a romantic side.
"You're so romantic."I wishpered. She looked at me and smiled. "Shhh, don't tell anyone."
"As much as I would love to stand here all night with you, we have a movie to catch."She said. I sighed and moved out of her arms. I would be happy standing here all night in her arms. "Let's go."I said taking her hand and walking towards her car.
-oOo-
"Pick a song Em, you're almost as bad as Marissa."Spencer laughed as she drove through the streets of Philly. I look down at the ipod in my hand and change the song yet again. "Are we almost there?"I asked. "No."She said. "We're here."
I look out the window and see a cemetery. Why would we be at a cemetery if we're supposed to be seeing a movie? "Spencer, you do know this is a cemetery right?"I asked looking over at her. She just nods her head yes, grins and gets out the car. I'm really confused right now. I get out the car as well and walk to the trunk of the car, where Spencer is pulling out two blankets, a small cooler and a bag with candy and other snacks in it.
"It's called Cinema at the Cemetery, once a month they screen a scary movie here. It makes all the movies scarier."She said looking over at me. Her grin falls a little and she puts the stuff in her hands down. "It's different and you love scary movies so I thought you would like this but we can go if you want. I'm sorry, this was stupid, I want to do something different and weird because well you love things that are different and weird and I wanted to do something you would like and... and I'm just gonna shut up now."She rambled looking down at the ground.
"And you're really cute when you ramble like that. What movie are they showing?"I asked picking up the cooler and wrapping an arm around her waist. It's weird seeing her so nervous and to hear her ramble like that, this is not the Spencer Hastings I know. "Dawn of the Dead."She replied picking up the blankets and bag of candy, then started walking towards the gate of the cemetery.
"Spencer, Emily it's good to see you two."Mikey said smiling and giving us a one armed hug. Spencer reaches into her back pocket and pulls out two tickets, handing them to Mikey. "You two have a good night and enjoy the movie."He said tending to the people behind us. "Oh Spencer, party at my house tomorrow, you and your friends should come."He yelled to us as we walked away.
She waved him off and lead the way to the part of the cemertery where the movie is being shown. "Have you been here before?"I asked as she laid out a blanket. "Yes, I come out here every few months or whenever a good movie is playing."She said sitting down on the blanket and pulling me down onto her lap.
-oOo-
"I had a good time tonight Emily."Spencer whispered cupping my cheek. We just got back from our date and now we're standing outside my house, saying goodnight. "Tonight was perfect Spencer, I had alot of fun."
I've never had so much fun on a date before, never felt so loved. It was the best first date I've ever had. "I'm glad you had a good time, I'll see you tomorrow night for Mikey's party. I love you Emily goodnight."She said. She leaned forward and pressed her lips to mine before walking down the steps and to her car. "I love you too."
I walk into the house and lean against the door. A sigh escapes my lips as I close my eyes. Best night of my life...
