Relationships

The next day you wake up and Spencer is gone again. He had to go back to work, but instead of leaving you a note he sent you a text. After your make out session yesterday you two cuddled and watched the Nightmare Before Christmas. You love Tim Burton movies, and apparently so does Spencer. You two ate your Chinese and talked about psychology stuff since he has one of his BAs in it. It's nice knowing that you have someone so close that you can talk about that stuff with. He ended up staying over again, but you figured he'd be gone in the morning.

Today you and Cecilia are going out to lunch. You felt bad because it was her that called you that morning, and she tried calling again but you were busy with Spencer. You two are going to a little cafe. You wear a light blue shirt with black jeans and your converse. When you put on your shoes they remind you of Spencer. You grab your purse and phone and head out the door.

The car drive was short and quiet but you got there right as Cecilia did. When she sees you she waves and doesn't look annoyed or angry, which makes you feel better.

"Y/n, hey!" She says.

"Hey Cecilia." You say. You give her a hug and you two walk into the cafe. You pick a small table and you order a grilled cheese with tomato bisque, and Cecilia orders a greek salad.

"I'm sorry I ignored your calls, it's just that Spencer had a really hard day at work so he came over and I wanted to make him feel better." You say. Cecilia smiles.

"It's okay. Im glad you did that for him. Did you guys have sex?" She asks. The question was so random and abrupt that you didn't expect it.

"Cecilia!" You say. She laughs and lowers her voice.

"What? I just want to know if he's perfect in more ways than personality and looks." She says. You laugh and lower your voice too.

"We've had sex once and a long make out session, but we mostly cuddle and spoon." You say.

"Is he any good at it?" She asks. You feel a little weird talking about it with her, but what the hell?

"Yes, probably the best I've ever had. But I'm not going into details weirdo." You say.

"Fine. But does that mean you guys are dating?"

You look down and smile.

"He asked me to be his girlfriend yesterday." You say. Cecilia squeals and stands up. She grabs you by the hands and pulls you up with her and gives you a big hug.

"Y/n, oh my god! Congratulations!" She says. She's acting like you just got engaged or something, but you're grateful that she's so happy for you. You hug her back and you sit down.

"I know, I'm actually super excited. He's all I want and need in a partner." You say.

"Well now that we're talking about relationships..." Starts Cecilia. Your eyes widen as you look at her. "Tristan asked me to be his girlfriend two nights ago. That's why I called you that morning." She says. You smile and say congratulations.

"This means neither of us need to look for eligible bachelors in clubs anymore. I'm gonna miss it." Says Cecilia.

"You're not supposed to say that now that you have a boyfriend." You joke.

"What? I like when strangers buy drinks for me." She says.

You guys eat your lunch and then you head home. You haven't gotten any texts or calls from Spencer, so you figure he's having a long day at work again.
You get home and change into some comfortable clothes and sit on the couch. That's when your phone rings.

"Hello?" You say.

"Hey gorgeous." Says Spencer's voice.

"Hey lover boy. How are you?"

"I'm doing ok. I miss you." He says.

"I miss you too. Where are you?"

"I'm in North Carolina right now. Are you at home?"

"Yeah, I just got back from getting lunch with Cecilia."

"What are you wearing?"

You chuckle. "An oversized t-shirt and some sweatpants. What about you?"

"A sweater vest and a tie."

"Of course you are. I wish you were here with me wearing nothing. Or the Disney t-shirt." You joke.

"I wish I was there too. I just thought I would say hi in case I can't later."

"Thank you. It's good to know that you're safe."

You hear a deep voice on the other end.

"Ok, I gotta go but I'll call you when I can." Says Spencer.

"Ok. Come back to me safe."

"Of course. I love you."

He hangs up and you breathe in. Did he just say I love you? You think for a second. Do you love him back? You really like him and you couldn't imagine being with anyone else. You've never been in love, but what you feel for him is pretty close. Your thoughts are interrupted by a knock at the door. You walk over and open it.

You gasp. Your heart races and your face gets flushed.

"What are you doing here?"

The face of the man at the door is the last thing you see until you feel a cold object hit you on the back of the head.
