Spelivia Diaries: Shots of Love

Midnight Heart To Hearts

After another failed attempt at a good night's sleep, Spencer raised up from his bed, and flew

down the staircase walking into the kitchen, opening the refrigerator to look for something to drink, completely unaware of Liv's presence on the couch. She had her headphones in listening to her, H.E.R. playlist when she turned her head to see him digging in the fridge. She knocked her headphones out scrunching her eyebrows in his direction.

"Ay don't drink all the OJ" She sounded as Spencer turned his head to glance at her.

"Save some for me in the morning" He closed the refrigerator door slipping his hands into the pockets of his shorts walking towards her.

"What you doing up so late?"

"I haven't been able to sleep since the shooting so at nights, I just...sit here, mostly"

"Hmm, does it help?" He asked inching closer to the couch, sitting himself on the edge of the back.

"Strangely, yesss, it's quiet...and no Jordan, which is more time to think" They shared a laugh before their eyes met for a moment that lasted longer than it was supposed to. His head shifted to the side resting his arms on his lap.

"What are you thinking about?" her head turned meeting his gaze, that had already fell upon her.

"Everything...I mean when something like that happens, it makes you reevaluate your entire future"

"Ain't that the truth"

"Especially something that you didn't ask for..."

"Tell me about it" he said plainly but seriously as his eyes wandered around the room, but Liv's focus and attention remained on him. She averted her eyes away from him when he turned back looking at her. Her head was slightly hanging down as he cleared his throat, and she pursed her lips playing with her fingers. A long pause of silence filled the air before he decided to break it with some rather, good news.

"So, uh, I forgot to tell you this week but I'm going to be visiting UCLA tomorrow" Her face lit up with a twinkle in her eye as a smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

"That's great, But, as happy as I am for you in this moment, I know that's not the reason why your up"

"Girl, don't be actin like you know me" He nudged her playfully flashing an wink making her cheeks glow red with an hint of pink.

"I will, soon as you stop actin like I don't" She smirked pretending to blow him a kiss and him chuckling to himself playing it off, resting her hand behind her neck.

"No but seriously, what's on your mind?" He rubbed his hands together lifting his head up to the ceiling.

"I don't know Liv, I just.... what if they change their minds? When they offered me a scholarship, I was the 57th ranked player in the country...I'm not that player anymore"

"Maybe so, but you will be once you heal" She tries to reassure him with a blissful daze in his eyes.

"That's the thing Liv, the doctors doesn't think I'll ever get to that level again, says only time will tell"

"Then let time do its thing, and while you're waiting.... just know you have a reserved spot next to me on this couch, same time every night. Just trust yourself best, you've got this" He smiled at her as she took his hand in hers and playfully kissed the top making him laugh.

"Okay, I got you, and I'll be there" He completed the brief hand hold by intertwining their fingers kissing the top as well, causing an shiver to trickle down Liv's spine. Their laugh was replaced with another line of silence as their eyes met each other's once more, the second encounter deeper than the first. Man, she's so beautiful. He tore his eyes away from her slowly letting go of her hand.

"Goodnight, Liv"

"Night Spence" He lifted himself from the edge starting to walk away before Liv caught his arm.

"Wait...since we both can't sleep, why don't we put on a movie?" Liv suggested with a smirk and a smile graced his lips as he nodded his head.

"Anything for my best friend" she squealed to herself as she connected their hands again dragging them both to the couch to pick out their movie of the night.
