How could you? (Third book in Life series)

Small Talk

I spent the day with Amber up until about five when I went home and got cleaned up. I curled my hair and changed in to a nicer shirt that wasn't a band shirt which is actually kind of hard to find in my closet.

It was a couple minutes till six when I heard someone ring my door bell. I finished putting on my lipstick and dashed down the stairs to the door. I opened the door to see Spencer smiling and holding colored daisy. I opened the door for him to come in. "These are for you". "Thank you! I love them! Let me put them in some water". I walked into the kitchen and started filling up a vase full of water. "You look nice". I smiled at him. "Well thank you, so do you". He looked around. "Nice place you have". "Thank you". I smiled as I set the vase down. "So what do you have planned for tonight". He smiled and held out his hand. Got to admit it was a great smile.

I grabbed his hand and we walked outside together. He opened the car to the door. I got in and he closed it. He got in the car and we drove off. He didn't put on music and I was actually comfortable and looking forward to to whatever it was that he had planned.

We were talking and driving for about half an hour when we pulled up to a really nice looking Italian place. We got out together and held hands as we walked in. The server stood up at his post as we walked in. "Hello, welcome. There is currently a hour and a half wait for a table". For some reason he sounded French to me. "I have a reservation under Spencer". He laugh a slight frenchy sounding laugh. "Oh Spencer, right this way".

We followed behind the server and I was in love with the smells of warm bread and rice red wine. We came to a enclosed glass heated space where there were three table. Amazing colorful plants. The server took our coats as we sat down. We could see the dark sky and stars. "Spencer this is beautiful!" It's true. I was speechless. He smiled. "I'm glad you think so". "Seriously I would have been happy just going to a mom and pop joint". "I wanted to do something nice, it's been awhile since I've gone on a date and I thought you deserved something nice.

I couldn't help but blush. The server came and brought us wine and took our orders. "I find that hard to believe. You not having a date in awhile. Your handsome and you seem very nice". He smirked. "Thank you, glad you think so. But as for me not dating for awhile, no one has really interested me and I've been busy with work". He poured the wine and handed me a glass. "How is it going with your music career. Is it everything you dreamed?". "It is awesome. We just put out another single and in a couple weeks we are going on a tour with motionless in white for two or so months. Not their whole tour but still". I tried not choking back on my wine. I spun my glass slowly on the table, looking at my fingers then back at him. "They are great guys".

The waiter came back with our food and it looked amazing. "This looks great Spencer". He smiled. "Yes it does". I dug into my food as we talked about our lives. Watching his eyes light up when we talked about music. I kept drinking and enjoying his conversation.

He stood up and handed out his hand. "Come on. We've got to go". "You have quite a bit planned". I interlocked my fingers with him as we walked out to the car.

We drove for awhile when we parked. "Come on!". We walked up to an outside skating ring as the snow started to lightly flurry. "Les go get skates". We walked down and I slipped on my baby blue beanie on. We sat down on the bench and put on our skates. He leaned down and tied my skates for me. "This is going to be interesting". He smirked. "Whys that?". "I've only skated once in my life. I can barely even walk on solid ground". "Don't worry about it you'll be fine".

He stepped out on the ice and held out his hand for me. I slowly stepped out on to the ice and probably looked like a child that is just starting to walk. I was clumsy and awkward but I couldn't stop smiling.

He held my hand as we we t around in laps, talking about anything we could think of. And for once I didn't have Chris on my mind at all. "I think I've got the hang of it!". Trying to skate straight. "Oh ya? Then let me see". He chuckled. I let go of his hand and started to go on my own. "Easy!". I tried speeding up when I slipped and fell on my ass and back. "Ow". "Shel you ok?". He came over and got down next to me and looked down at me. I rubbed my face and looked up at him. "Yea... In fine". I smiled as I sat up by my elbows and his face got closer to mine.

I could taste my heart in my throat. Is that going to happen? Holy shit am I even a good kisser to anyone other then Chris? Oh fuck him. Spencer softly kisses me as I closed my eyes. We were for a moment before he broke away and stood up holding his ha d out for me. He pulled me into his chest. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?". I shook my head no and smiled. "Come on let me get you home".

He drove me home and actually walked me to my door. "I had a great time, maybe we could do this again?". "I would like that very much". I smiled as he hugged me and then kissed me one more time before leaving.

I shut the door behind me and went to the bathroom to started getting ready for bed when the events of the day played back in my mind and I couldn't help but smile.

I got into bed for the night and watched some tv before deciding to pass out. My phone dinged as I got comfortable.

"I had a really good time, I hope that you did too! Can't wait to see you soon".

Yup there it was.

I had a slight crush on him
