Pence

Chapter Seventeen

"You're sure that your dad won't mind me coming to stay with you?" Niall asked apprehensively.

"It'll be fine. He always does this; freaks out about something but then realizes it's normal or a good thing OR he does something even worse so they even each other out. You'll see, he won't mind." Spencer pulled her sheets around her legs.

"Okay, I trust you. So what are you doing tonight?" Niall asked.

"Just finished my homework. I might do something completely wild and take a bath." Niall chuckled at the joke.

"I wish I could join you."

"Me too. Soon enough!" Spencer chirped.

"Oh Pence, I miss you." He admitted.

"Me too." She groaned. "And what are you doing tonight?"

"Just packing."

"Awe my poor baby has to do so much packing today!" She pouted her lip. "When's your flight?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"Oh, Stephanie is calling me for dinner. I'll talk to you tomorrow. Bye Niall." She smiled into her phone.

"Bye Pence." Spencer hung up and went to dinner, where her dad admitted that he was wrong, but he was still annoyed. Afterward while Spencer took a bath she flipped through news articles.

"Is Spialler over?" Was one title. She selected it, started reading, and then realized that 'Spialler' was her and Niall's couple name.

"No, 'Spialler' is not over!" She thought, annoyed.

"Today Niall Horan's new girlfriend, Spencer Wesleyan, has gone home from her California vacation, leaving Niall behind? We know Niall is still in LA, so does this mean they broke up?" Spencer put her phone down, sick of seeing people hating on her, or even speculating that she and Niall had broken up. After her bath, she put on sweats and a tank top and opened her lap top. She went on Facebook since she hasn't checked it for her whole vacation.

"Oh shit!" She exclaimed, covering her mouth. She had thousands of messages, friend requests and notifications. She called Niall again.

"Enjoy your bath?" He asked, it sounded like he was munching on a bag of chips.

"It was fine, but I just logged into my Facebook and I have so many notifications! What do I do?" Niall explained that she should just delete her Facebook at this point. "Okay, it's done. Finish packing?"

"Yup! All done. Oh-sorry, the boys are attacking me!" She heard noises of battle, and assumed that they were wrestling. She smiled and hung up. "Boys." She thought as she shook her head. She tweeted Niall "miss you-can't wait to see you soon!(:" and hoped that would put a rest to all the breakup rumors. She heard Grover come in and start talking to her dad.

"Grover!" She ran to the living room.

"Hey Spence!" He hugged her tightly, he had been at university and was only home for the weekend. "How was your trip?"

"Awesome!"

"I heard that you got a boyfriend."

"Yeah."

"I also heard that its Niall Horan." Spencer giggled before answering.

"Where did you hear that?"

"Oh ya know, I just read it in People magazine, that's all."

"Shut up!" Spencer laughed as her brother teased her.

"C'mon, Max and I are going to get ice cream."

"Okay, I'm just gonna throw on jeans." She ran to her room and threw on a sweater and jeans. "Let's go." She got in her brother's car and Max and Grover followed.

"So how was mom's?" Grover asked Max.

"It was fine."

"Do you have a girlfriend?" Grover chuckled as he asked Max.

"No! Do you?" He retorted.

"Yep." Grover pulled into the grocery store.

"What's her name?" Grover asked as he followed Spencer and Grover inside.

"Lydia. Go pick out your ice cream." Grover directed as they walks into the ice cream aisle. "So is he nice?" He turned his attention to Spencer.

"Yeah! Really nice."

"Well I'll have to decide that. When do I get to meet him?"

"He's coming to visit in a couple weeks. But you have to be nice to him!" Spencer jokingly pinched his arm.

"I'm always nice!" Grover laughed.

"You have to be extra nice!"

"I will!"

"Promise?"

"Promise." Grover held out his pinky and Spencer shook it.

"Okay, I got cookie dough." Grover handed the container to Spencer.

"Good." Grover paid and they got back in the car and went home.
