Chapter 2

Marrissa’s P.O.V.

Omg! I was waiting at the airport and Spencer should be here any minute. I was so excited! I was here with Spencer’s mom and she invited me to come so I can be one of the first ones to see him. isn’t she sweet? He had called me this morning and we talked for like hours. I flashbacked to the conversation . . .

*Flashback*

I was laying down in my bed listening to one republic, my favorite band, when my phone rang and rang until I found it under all of my pillows, by the time I found it I was out of breath.

“Hello” I said trying to catch my breath.

“Izzy?” the voice that I haven’t heard in a while said.

“Spencey!!” I yelled out his childhood nickname.

“Yeah it’s me and didn’t I ask you to stop calling me that?” he chuckled.

“Yeah but I didn’t say I was going to.” I sang the last part.

“Oh how I’ve missed your off key singing.” he said.

“Hey! I’m not that bad” I said sounding offended.

“Whatever you say.” he laughed this time.

“Fine I’m hanging up.” I said even though I know I wouldn’t I haven’t talked to him in so long.

“NO! Don’t hang up I just called you plus I have something to tell you.” he said on a whine.

“Didn’t I tell you your whining is annoying? What is it you wanted to tell me?” I asked.

“I’m coming home today I’ll be at the airport in like 4 hours!!” he rushed out.

“No way! Oh my gosh finally!” I said loudly.

“Well it sounds like someone missed me a lot.” he said smugly

“Well duh you’re my best friend” I said not wanting to sound like I missed him that way because that would creep him out considering he doesn’t know how I feel about him. For a while there was silence then he said

“Yeah I just wanted to let you know. Well I got to go bye” he said the first part like he regretted being my best friend.

Then I got worried what if he found a new best friend and I wasn’t enough anymore or worse what if he found a girlfriend in Greece and he didn’t want to hang around with the clingy girl anymore. I was getting myself worked up. He probably had to go because of too much noise on the plane right?

*End of flashback*

I was sitting in the uncomfortable airport chair when I noticed Spencer’s mom was calling my name so I walked over to her and said what she said Spencer’s flight was getting off now and I looked over at the departure area and sure enough there was Spencer. Wow he looked so hot and I just wanted to run over there and- . Stop marrissa don’t think of your best friend like that he doesn’t feel the same. When he looked at me a huge smile spread across his face and at that moment I didn’t care, he was my best friend and I missed him so I ran as quickly as possible over to him and jumped in his arms. I breathed him in as we hugged and boy did he smell good.

Spencer’s P.O.V.

After I hung up with marrissa I felt bad because when she said I was only her best friend a little piece of my heart broke and I just wanted to hang up with her and be mad but now I regret because she probably thinks I’m mad at her. Let me just tell you it is so hard to love your best friend in a non-platonic way, I hated it. While I was thinking about that I got frustrated so I decided to take a nap to get her off my mind, but of course I didn’t because that’s all I dreamed about. By the time the flight was lowering to the ground I didn’t get any sleep and I was nervous to see marrissa. I missed her so much and I couldn’t wait to see her plus school was starting back up soon and I wanted to finish senior year so I could finally tell marrissa how I feel and so we can go to the same college. I walked off the plane towards the departure area and started looking for my mom but what I found was the most beautiful girl in the airport, marrissa, and she was looking right at me. When she saw me she smiled her most stunning smile and came running at me, I caught her lifted her up. I felt like I could hold her forever I missed her so much, I was going to have to tell her soon that I loved because I couldn’t live without her and if she doesn’t feel the same way then I’ll understand, I think. I looked at her for the first time since I got back and I mean I really looked at her. Her hair looked a little darker and her beautiful blue eyes were sparkling, showing more blue than gray. The only time her eyes show gray are when she’s either upset or mad as hell other than that they were a light blue. She was wearing dark blue skinny jeans and a Pink Floyd shirt with black boots that met her calf. She looked like the girl I fell in love with, that made me smile. She was still holding me in a death grip and I wanted it to mean she missed me more than her best friend but I know it’s because she was lonely while I was away. I set her down and continued to hug her, when I pulled away I met her gaze looked into her eyes to see if she was hiding any emotions but I only seen happiness and maybe something else but it was only there for a second so I didn’t know what it was.

“Hey” I said my voice husky from my nap on the plane.

“Hi” she said and I wanted to kiss right there but I didn’t know if she felt the same about me as I felt about her so I didn’t.

“Is my mom with you?” I asked her but she didn’t need to answer because just then my mom came up and wanted to know how my trip was and if I had a good time and if anything important happened to me but I said I was good and I just wanted to go home and rest. In the car I sat in the back with marrissa and laid my head in her lap, she chuckled and started to run her fingers through my hair and it felt so good that when I got home I didn’t even realize it. We got out of the car and I took most of my bags while marrissa got the rest.

“Are you spending the night here?” I asked her.

She said yeah then we went upstairs and put my bags down. At the same time we both plopped on my bed then I turned and faced her and started playing with her hair, she looked at me then got up.

“Why did you get up?” I asked confused.

“Umm well I going to go change into my pj’s then we’ll watch a movie ok?’’ she said nervously.

“Ok” I said still confused.

I laid back down and relaxed waiting for her to come out of the bathroom.
