Chapter 13 - "You want to tell them about you and... us?"

Spencer's POV
I had no intention of going to see Aria last night but after Hanna had rocked up at my house practically screaming at me I decided I should go see her. Of course I had wanted to go see her before last night but I didn't have the guts until Hanna convinced me I absolutely had to. It was true what I had said, I was afraid to love. I was afraid that something might happen to Aria or that I'd hurt her because I love her. After Hanna had said I was just being an idiot, and she had been right yet again, I went straight to Emily's where I knew Aria was staying because Emily had called Hanna to tell her. And I confessed my feelings to her, all of them, even my irrational feeling of jealousy I got, even when someone just looked at her the wrong way. By the time I had stopped talking the night sky had turned a dim light colour and Aria had been dozing on and off. I gave her one final kiss before I headed home and climbed into bed. And that was where I was now. I was lying on my back facing the ceiling recounting the events of yesterday. I roll over and burry my head in my pillow not wanting to get up. I did have something I should be doing I just couldn't be bothered to do it. I'm startled from my thoughts when I hear my phone buzz on my nightstand.
Get your ass up and come answer the door! - Ar
I laugh before I reluctantly pull myself from my bed and drag myself downstairs. I see Aria immediately she was standing by the door dressed in her normal crazy attire that looked so good on her. "Morning gorgeous." Aria says planting a kiss on my cheek.
"What are you holding?" I ask my eyes settling on the cardboard box that Aria is holding.
"I brought you coffee and breakfast." Aria beams at me and makes her way over to the kitchen counter.
"Wow, what's wrong?" I ask suspiciously.
"Nothing, can't a girl bring her girlfriend breakfast?" Aria asks raising an eyebrow. I flip the cardboard lid open and take in the waft of pancakes that hits me instantly. My mouth waters as the sweet scent of syrup washes over me, my weakness. "Actually, now that you mention it there is something I need to talk to you about." Aria says while I'm halfway through devouring my pancakes. I felt a moment of panic wash over me at Aria's words. I swallow hard and take a sip of coffee before I turn my full attention back to my girlfriend.
"What's up?" I ask and mentally scold myself because my voice was tainted with nerves which Aria would be able to telling - she could read me like a book.
"I told my dad about... me." Aria says playing with her jacket zip.
"How did he take it?" I ask pushing the box of pancakes away from me and stepping around the counter to stand beside Aria.
"He said he already knew." Aria says a ghost of a smile on her face. "I didn't tell him about you, if you were thinking that, he said my mom is totally oblivious." I can see how anxious she is and I wrap my arms around her waist pulling her against me.
"Are you going to tell her?" I whisper in Aria's ear.
"Umm, I was wondering if you'd come to a family dinner tonight?" Aria asks giving me her best puppy dog eyes the puppy dog eyes I couldn't say no to.
"You want to tell them about you and... us?" I ask and Aria looks me in the eyes.
"Only about us if you want to?" Aria says making it perfectly clear she didn't want to pressure me into anything. I felt ready to come out to Aria's parents, probably not the whole of Rosewood just yet, but her parents I could handle.
"No, I think we should tell them." I say and Aria smiles at me wrapping her arms around my waist as well. I became suddenly aware that I was only wearing shorts and a t-shirt especially when I felt Aria's hands drift down to my bare legs. A moan escapes my mouth involuntarily but Aria smirks. "You know when your parents find out about us they might not let us have one on one sleepovers." I say my voice light, Aria grins at me.
"Oh yeah?" She asks innocently.
"Yeah, so we should probably make the most of it while we can, right?" I tease. I lift Aria up and she hooks her legs around my waist with a satisfying giggle that makes me laugh. I carry her over to the couch before lying her down on it. She didn't release her legs from around my waist so I was hovering above her my hair falling over my shoulders and creating a kind of curtain around our faces. She was laughing uncontrollably, so I didn't kiss her, I watched her with mild amusement as she tried to control herself and laughing when she couldn't. "You're adorable Montgomery." I say when Aria actually manages to steady her giggles.
"Your not so bad yourself Hastings." She replies cheekily. I plant a kiss on her lips and feel her smile into it and I can't help but smile into it as well. I feel her hands tangle themselves into my hair pulling me even closer to her. The kiss quickly becomes passionate which seemed to happen a lot in my living room maybe there was an air of teenage hormones or something? I feel one of her hands leave my hair and then I feel it on the small of my back sending an electric current pulsing through my body especially since my t-shirt had rolled up at the back and she was touching my bare skin. Her nails trail from my back tickling my skin as she reaches the front of me and I feel her hand rub my stomach. "Woah." I gasp breaking the kiss my breathing unsteady. "If I didn't know any better I'd say you really want me to take you to bed." I was being sarcastic of course, Aria and I had agreed to wait until it was the perfect moment for us to... go all the way but I couldn't ignore the sparkle that was in her eyes. "I think we should wait." I say and feel her legs unwrap from around my waist. She scoots over on the couch and I lay down beside her twisting to face her directly. I intertwine our hands between us and play with her fingers.
"I agree." Aria says still sounding a little breathless.
"I know we have this family dinner tonight with your parents and they probably won't want us to stay together but I'd really love it if you stayed tonight." I say still playing with Aria's fingers that rested between our faces.
"I'd really love that too." Aria says sweetly. I smile, mostly to myself, because she really was the perfect person in the whole world and I couldn't even begin to understand how much I actually loved her. I realise that I'm completely and desperately in love with her it was like she was the other half of me. 'I love you' just doesn't seem to cover how I actually feel about her.
