Truth Hurts

Stephie

It's no secret I'm a liar, a good one at that. I've lied to everyone I've ever met. I wouldn't say I completely lied to the bureau to get the job that I have but I did fib, and not disclose the truth with them, even when I should have.

It's been about four months since the whole fisher king incident, Elle is coming back to work hopefully in a week. Spencer and I are still together in secret, I'm not sure how serious this relationship, if you would even call it that, really is. Spencer has made it very clear he wants to go get dinner tonight, you know go on a real date. The team thankfully has not questioned us and I brush it off as nobody even noticing our slip ups due to the stress of the fisher king case.

"Black or blue?" I hold up to dresses in front of Spencer and shrugs at me.

"I think you'll beautiful in anything," Okay, he is no help at all. I sigh sit down next to him, I'll probably just wear black. I pick up my phone and see a text message I wasn't expecting to see.

I'm in town for the weekend on business, can we have dinner?

I think my heart skips a beat, I can't even hide how scared that message made me. I look at Spencer but he's staring at the TV, Mr. I don't like this show, suddenly is a fein for it. I don't answer the message and instead I take Spencer's arm and put it over my body, moving closer to him. I look up to the clock but it's all in scrambles.

"I thought you didn't like this show?" I grin up at him and he shakes his head, eyes not leaving the screen.

"I don't, I just find it fascinating how inaccurate it is," Spencer finally looks away and looks down at me.

"It's a TV show, it can't be 100% accurate. They have to keep it fun, so if Meredith wants to screw her boss she's gonna screw her boss." I point at the TV that's currently showing a scene from Greys Anatomy, I really like this show and I can't wait for more seasons to come out, I hope it ends up having at least 10 seasons. That would mean the show should end in 2016, that seems forever away.

"You're something else Steph," Spencer says before placing a soft kiss on my lips. I smile against his mouth and lean into his chest when I pull back. I can't help but keep thinking about that text, I swear I can hear his voice echoing in my mind.

I'm in town for the weekend on business, can we have dinner?

I'm IN TOWN for the weekend on business, can we have dinner?

He's in town.

"Wow," I turn my head hearing Spencer's soft voice behind me.

"I didn't mean, like wow in a bad way, I just, I just meant like wow, you look really pretty Steph." His face flushes with red and I can only laugh at his awkwardness. He's adorable.

I walk over to him and fix his tie with a smile on my face. "You're so cute when you're shy," I tease him and he swats me away, some things never change. I hear my phone buzz behind me on the dresser and it pulls me away from Spencer.

Stepheni.

Ignore.

How does he even know where I am? I paid a lot of money to, quote on quote, disappear. Not a single soul knows the truth, nobody knows what happened back in New York. Not even the damn FBI could get that information.

"Every thing okay?" Spencer asks still standing by the doorway, he must've seen me zone out as I spiraled in my own head.

"Yeah, must've been a wrong number," I shrug and shove my phone into a small bag before grabbing Spencer's arm and practically pulling him out of the house. I just want this night to be over with, I don't want to even leave knowing he's lurking around.
