Between Us: A Spelivia Love Story

Ch. 16: Bad Habit

Spencer James

"Can you believe he shot her?!" Olivia questioned as she pointed at the television. Spencer and Olivia had been watching another movie in their hotel room.

"Yeah...it's crazy" Spencer dryly stated as his mind hadn't been focused on the movie.

Olivia glanced at Spencer and frowned at how low his energy had been.

"Are you okay, Spencer? You've been dry and quiet since we got here" Olivia paused the movie and gave him her undivided attention.

Olivia had planned an evening getaway with Spencer at a hotel in Beverly Hills. She felt it was needed and a necessary chance for the both of them to recharge. Though Spencer greatly appreciated the evening she planned, he was evidently drowsy from the pill he'd taken earlier. He didn't want to tell Olivia he was still on medication because he didn't want to worry her.

He'd also been abusing the medication after he pleaded with his doctor to provide another prescription. Spencer had still been in minor pain, but it wasn't as severe as the pain he'd felt in previous weeks. He just needed an excuse to get another prescription of pills. Though the minor pain he felt could be fixed with Tylenol he'd found a slight joy in the relief the medication gave him. He'd been overwhelmed with the possibility of being a father and the shit he'd endured with the gang. Spencer honestly was in need of a temporary fix. He knew he'd been slipping into a bad habit and promised he would stop after he finished this final bottle. 

"I'm good, Liv. Just feeling a little bit sleepy" He yawned and placed a hand on her thigh. "It could be from the walk though, I ain't been that active in weeks" he continued as he rubbed her thigh.

"You were tired the other day but you didn't go walking then" Olivia tilted her head and squinted at him. He knew she could tell something had been above about his recent behavior. "Are you sure everything is okay, Spencer?" she inquired.

"Liv, did I not just say I was good?!" He snapped at her and she frowned once more. 

"Okay, Okay. I'll leave it alone then. You don't have to be rude about it though" Olivia removed his hand from her thigh and pressed play on the remote.

Silence grew between them and Spencer felt bad for snapping at Olivia the way he did.

"Liv, I got a lot on my mind and it's been drainin' me" Spencer reached for the remote and paused the movie. "I shouldn't have snapped on you like that, I'm sorry" he continued. 

"It's fine, I should've considered that before pestering you" Olivia sighed. "But...I know a way to ease your mind" she bit her bottom lip as she scooted closer to him.

"Come here girl" Spencer lightly chuckled as he pulled her on top of his lap. Olivia smiled as wrapped her arms around him, gently pecking his lips.

"You wait right here, I'll be right back" Olivia smirked as she got off of his lap. "You're going to love this" Olivia beamed as she headed toward the bedroom.

Spencer yawned and drowsily rubbed his eyes while he waited for her to return. Olivia eventually came out of the bedroom dressed in a red floral lace set.

"You like?" Olivia asked as she slowly turned in a full circle. 

"Shit is that a real question?" Spencer licked his lips as he eyed her. 

"I'm glad you like it" Olivia smiled as she found herself on Spencer's lap again. 

Spencer grabbed Olivia's neck and brought her toward him. He gently sealed their lips together, closing the remaining space between them. Olivia sucked on Spencer's tongue as he slid it into her mouth. Spencer lightly groaned, gripping onto her sides as he enjoyed the action.

"Spencer...you sure you like this?" Olivia inquired as she broke their kiss. She felt something was off but couldn't identify what it was.

"I love it, Liv" He reassured her. 

Spencer pulled her back in for another kiss and Olivia tightly wrapped her legs around him. Olivia bit her bottom lip as she started to create rub herself against him. She lightly pushed him against the couch and began to unfasten his jeans. She slipped her hands in his underwear and widened her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Spencer lightly chuckled to shake the yawn he felt coming.

"Spencer, you're not getting up like you normally would" she frowned. "Is it the lingerie? I thought you'd enjoy it" Olivia removed her hands and crossed her arms.

"I already told you I loved it, you trippin'" Spencer said as he reached for her. 

"I mean you say that but it doesn't seem that way. You don't have to lie Spencer" Olivia said and Spencer shook his head.

"I'm not, Liv. It's just taking longer than usual since I've had a lot on my mind recently" he pecked her cheek. "I promise you I love it, you look sexy as fuck" Spencer licked his lips.

"I'm honestly not in the mood anymore" Olivia sighed as she got off of the couch. "I'm going to get ready for bed" she turned toward the bedroom.

"Oliv-"

"Goodnight Spencer" Olivia said as she entered the bedroom and closed the door.

Spencer placed his head in his hands and heaved a big sigh. He got off of the couch and entered the living room to find Liv back in her pajamas.

"You can't be mad, Liv. It ain't you, it's me" He said as he watched her get in the bed. "Liv? I'm talkin' to you" He yawned as he waited for a response.

"I obviously don't want to talk about it and neither do you since you've been sleepy all night" Olivia laid in the bed and turned the light on her side.

Spencer shook his head in frustration as he entered the room. He got on the left side of the bed and turned off the light next to him.

"Liv?" Spencer called out.

"What?" She answered with an attitude.

"I was goin' to ask if I could hold you, but you clearly trippin' so never mind" Spencer turned on his side and closed his eyes. Within minutes, Spencer was knocked out.

I apologize for how short this chapter is! The next few I have planned will be a bit longer and crazy. I am hoping to post again tomorrow!
