Spencer's POV

I smile, hesitantly. "C'mon! We can talk inside."

"No! Seriously, I need to tell you something that might change whether you want to take me in there or not." Olivia tells me and I'm confused.

"This place is special to me!"

"I know. And that's why I need you to listen to me, please!" She insist.

"What's wrong?" I ask curiously.

"The night I went to see Colson, he asked me to give him another chance." She tells me and my shoulders slump like a child in timeout. "But, of course, I said no because I don't want him!"

"Are you sure? Because the way you went to see him, when you told me you wouldn't, is telling me a different story. "And why are you telling me this, if you don't want him?"

"Spencer, I'm positive. I want you and only you." She promises as her hands touch the sides of my face.

"Well, why'd you really go to see your ex behind my back?" I ask again

"Well, why'd you really go to see your ex behind my back?" I ask again.

"Because I knew Colson had something up his sleeves," she responds quickly. "I just know him!"

"He just wants you back, Liv! He doesn't want to see you move on. And if you keep entertaining him, I'm going to be forced to believe you want him back too."

"There's a tape, Spencer!" She says loudly and I stop to listen. "And he's threatening to use it against you if we continue to see one another."

"What? Wait! What tape?" I ask confused.

"I'm sorry." She apologizes frantically.

I pause to replay the time we spent at Colson's house and my mind recalls us being careful not to get too frisky in front of the cameras."

"We didn't do much on the balcony. And we definitely didn't do anything near the front door camera!" I say as I wrestle with memories in my head.

"The garage! Spencer, he has cameras in the garage. He never told me, but he had his friend install cameras in there recently. Because,  apparently, he has some expensive equipment in there for music that he wanted to watch while he was away, knowing y'all would be working in and out of it."

"Fuck! I never noticed because Skip kept me on the damn roof." I say in frustration.

"This type of scandal can be detrimental to your career, Spencer! Especially if Colson puts it out there the way I think he'll put it out there." She cries. "I'm so sorry!"

I have so many reasons to be upset at her. But I'm not innocent. It took two to do what we did. I just wish she wouldn't have kept it from me for days.

"We can fix this!" I tell her as I open my arms and she walks in between them before allowing me to hold her tightly.
