Last Summer: Vegas Baby

(6)

Spencer spent the last 2 hours looking for Olivia. He checked the hotel, the nearby restaurants, even the strip. No sign of her anywhere. He was starting to grow more and more worried. He didn't want to upset her, but he had to be honest with her because he needed to make it clear that him and Layla were completely over. He walked back up to his suite noticing the door was wide open. Strolling in, he saw Olivia standing up waiting for his arrival.

"Hey"

"Hey. Can we talk?"

"Sure"

"Come sit with me?" Olivia had her arms still folded, sitting down on the edge of the bed, patting it motioning him to sit next to her. He walked over sitting next to her.

"I'm sorry I ran out, I was angry. Truth is Spence, I hate seeing you with her, but I don't want to jump to conclusions here so I'm only going to ask you this once. What happened when she came to your room?" He cleared his throat.

"Before I tell you what happened, I just want you to know that I didn't invite, nor did I ask her to come to my room. I was just as surprised to her as you would have been"

"Ok" She said to him with slight irritation in her voice. In her hearts of hearts, she didn't believe he would invite her over after she left him the way she did but just the thought of them together, even if for a second infuriated her in the worst way. He could sense her irritation and reached to take her hand in his. She sighed deeply calming down a bit. Spencer was the only one who could calm her down just by touching her.

"Continue" She told him.

"Anyway, she asked to come in and I was hesitant to let her, but she told me it wouldn't take long so I did. After that she started to apologize for the ways she treated me when she was going through her depression when we were trying to help her, and I accepted that"

He resumed his explanation.

"Then she told me that she wouldn't have gotten as far as she did without my support. Next thing I know she's telling me she loves me an-'" Liv cut him off mid-sentence walking away from him not wanting to hear anymore. She knew where this was headed but little did, she know, this would be the first time where she would be proven wrong.

"You know what Spence it's cool I don't need to hear the rest. She told you she loved you, you said it back, she kissed you and then you...slept together, right?" She assumed gritting her teeth. He shot up grabbing her hand quickly.

"No! You're wrong Liv that's not what happened"

"Well, if that's not the ending to this story tell me what I'm missing"

She shot back looking away from him. Still holding her hand, Spencer lifted his finger pushing her cheek, so she was forced to look at him.

"The part where she kissed me, and I pulled away and told her that we couldn't do this" She looked up quickly as he spoke.

"I told her that I wanted her part of my life but not that way. As a friend, and only as a friend. She left hurt and I went to bed afterwards"

He finished taking a step back from Liv. She sighed in relief knowing that nothing happened between him and Layla. She expected the worst from this being that he chose Layla over her the first time, which was partially her fault because she encouraged it, but she still felt a way about it.

"So you guys didn't hook up then?"

He asked and he nodded at her solidifying his answer. She moved over pulling him for a hug. He wrapped his arms around her waist hugging her tightly closing his eyes. He felt so content back in her arms and space. She squeezed him one good time before they both slowly pulled away from each other.
