Spelivia/Jimone: I Got You

Eye To Eye

A few days later Simone and Liv are out at a little cafe for brunch.

"So anything new and exciting lately?" Liv asks Simone as she takes a bite out of her bagel. "Not much I mean tennis is coming along well I guess. Shay is good. You talk to Jordan everyday so you know how he's doing." Simone replies. "That's good. I meant to call you as soon as it happened but Spencer and I got a little... occupied anyway that's besides the point. Layla and Asher came to our house the other day." Liv says still annoyed at the situation. "What the hell?? Well what happened?" Simone says ready for Liv to spill all the details. "I told them to hop in their car and get off our property." Liv says and continues with the story.

"They have some nerve." Simone adds. "That's what I said." They high five each other. As the two continue their conversation, Dane enters the cafe. Simone and Liv both look over. "What the hell??" Liv whispers to Simone. "Let's just act like we can't see him." Simone says looking away. They ignore as long as they can until Dane is right in front of them. "Simone I really need to talk to you." He says.

Simone faces the other way as long as possible and eventually turns to him. "Dane I can assure you we have nothing to discuss." She tells him. "But we do... preferably alone." "Well I'd prefer to stay right here." Liv says. "Whatever you need to say to me you can say with Liv sitting here." Simone adds. "Fine. I wanna be in our son's life. I made some mistakes back in high school and I regret them. Can we talk about some visits and maybe some outings? I wanna do whatever it takes." Dane says giving Simone a sad look.

"You had years to step up Dane. It's best for me and best for Shay that you keep your distance. He has me and Jordan and two other wonderful parents so he doesn't need you." Simone says shutting down Dane's requests. "Simone-" "Goodbye Dane." Simone says cutting off his sentence. Dane sighs and leaves the cafe. "You okay?" Liv asks comforting Simone. Simone nods and gets back to eating.

Meanwhile Spencer and Jordan just wrapped up a good workout at the gym.

"Whew" Jordan says with a sigh and is breathing a lil heavy. "You good J." Spencer asks concerned. "Yeah I'm good. I've just been hitting it a little hard trying to get in shape for the draft." Jordan replies still out of breath. "We'll ease up. You'll be good. Plus we have until the spring before you need to be ready." Spencer says reassuring Jordan. "Thanks bro I guess I'm just nervous. And trying to distract myself from the fact that Dane is back town." Jordan says slipping that last part in.

"Dane?? As in Simone's ex?" Spencer says shocked and confused. "Unfortunately. He came to the apartment the other day asking about Shay. Told him to get the hell out and called it a day." Jordan says wiping the sweat off his forehead. "How is Simone feeling about him being back?" Spencer asks as he lifts his water bottle to his mouth. "She's cool now. She was a little stressed at first but we talked and it's good now." He says and he proceeds to drink water of his own.

"That's what's up. Y'all know if y'all ever need to talk me and Liv are a call away. We always got your back. Both of you." Spencer says. "Thanks bro. We got you and Liv too." "So Asher and Layla popped up at our house the other day." Spencer's words almost make Jordan spit his water out. "What the hell?" Jordan says once the water is no longer in his mouth.

"Don't know what they wanted but something is telling me they'll be back."
Spencer says annoyed. "Well good luck with that. Simone and I can still pop over for dinner tonight?" Jordan says while grabbing his gym bag. "You know we never miss double date night! Liv and I just have to do a podcast episode and we'll be ready." He says grabbing his own bag. The two walk out and once outside they hit their signature handshake real quick and head to their separate cars.

A little later back at Spencer and Liv's the couple is sitting in Liv's now complete studio.

Liv turns on her on air sign and lets out a cute little giggle that makes Spencer smile. "Okay here we go." Liv grabs her notebook with her list of questions. "Hey everybody! I'm Olivia Baker-James and today we're gonna get a little less serious and have some fun while also being serious if that makes sense. Today I'm joined by the sexiest, most talented and kindest man alive my husband Spencer James!!" Our topic today is Trust! Spencer smiles for a bit before introducing himself. "What's up y'all!" He says still smiling from ear to ear.

"So I have a list of questions here and not gonna lie most of them probably won't be answered and I'll just go off the top of my head." She says smiling as well. "Why are we so smiley today?" He asks laughing that causes her to laugh with him. "You're cute so I guess you have me smiling" she says in a flirty tone. "How many people are listening again?" He tells her smiling still. "You know what you're right let's get focused so..." They have one of the best discussions as the podcast goes on and wrap it up just in time as Jordan and Simone knock at the door.

Liv runs to the door and lets the two in as their takeout dinner is sitting in the kitchen. Just as they all get ready to settle down and start their weekly convo another knock is heard. This time Spencer heads to the door to see Layla and Asher... again. "The hell y'all want now?" Spencer asks. "I'm sorry but for real what y'all doing here?" He adds before they respond.

"Listen we got off on the wrong foot with our first return so can we talk all of us?" Asher says. "Um..." Spencer responds just as Liv, Jordan and Simone have now made their way to the door. "I see you two have a full house." Layla says. Jordan and Simone give them an awkward wave. "You know what come in." Liv says. Spencer immediately looks at Liv confused. "We have plenty of food so let's talk." Layla and Asher shrug their shoulders and walk toward the kitchen followed by Liv, Jordan and Simone. "This about to be one hell of a night." Spencer says being the last to walk toward the kitchen.
