~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You sigh in contentment as you step into the warm hotel shower. As much fun as the beach was, it's nice to get the saltwater out of your hair and off your skin. You begin to massage some shampoo into your scalp, pausing every now and then to rest against the shower wall. You're completely and totally drained. Nevertheless, a smile lights up your face when you think about the fun you and the team had at the ocean. Particularly everything with Spencer. You nearly laugh aloud at the memory of throwing him into the ocean.
Your smile only grows when you remember the two of you falling back into the water together, you landing on top of him. He had gotten a little flustered at that. And, if you were being honest, you had gotten a little flustered too. After all, your crush on Spencer was obvious to everyone but him.
After your shower, you got ready to go to bed. It was only then that you remembered your phone.
"Oh, shit!"
You immediately grab your shoes. You'd left your work phone on the beach, and now you needed to go find it.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fast forward ten minutes, and you're still searching the beach. You'd checked the boardwalk, the sandy area where you'd left your things, the hammock you'd been sitting in... everywhere you could think of. You came up empty.
Sighing, you lean back against a palm tree. The night is quiet and calm, the only sound being the crashing waves. You breath in the fresh, salty air, looking up at the stars in the darkened sky. The night would be perfect if your phone wasn't missing.
You take another deep breath, trying to calm down. It's truly a beautiful night. Now if you could just shake the feeling that something is off-
"Fancy seeing you here."
You jump and the sudden voice, letting out a shriek. You spin around, dropping into a defensive stance, only to find Spencer. He has his hands raised in an 'I-mean-you-no-harm' kind of way. You uncurl your fists, breathing a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing here?" You ask.
"Just clearing my head." He replies, "And you?"
"Looking for my phone." You say, frowning.
"Oh. Well, look no further." He says, pulling your phone from his satchel. You let out another sigh of relief.
"Thank God, Spence." You say, taking it from him, "I was freaking out. I thought I lost it."
"No problem." He says.
"So..." You begin.
"Yeah." He replies.
"Wanna go for a walk?"
A beat.
"Why not?"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The moon was full and bright as you and Spencer walked the beach. The white sand beneath your feet was cool and slightly moist. The seagulls cried, the waves crashed, and the crickets chirped, forming a beautiful, natural symphony. You were in heaven.
"-and that makes it dangerous." Spencer concluded his rant. You didn't mind his ranting, though. He was interesting, and his voice had a lilting, lulling quality to it.
"You know, danger is the least of my worries right now. It's so peaceful here. I want to stay forever." You say, sighing.
"You know, normally I'm not very fond of the beach, but... at the moment, I'm liking it." He replies.
"See, I make things fun." You say.
"You do."
You look over at him, taking in his tall frame, his perfect hair, his slow, smooth gait. He looks back at you, his bright eyes making you melt inside. Without thinking, without even planning it, you reach over and take his hand.
Tingles shoot up your arm. Spencer looks over at you, his eyes slightly wider than usual. You ignore your nerves and lace your fingers with his.
Spencer stops walking. You take this as a sign to let go of his hand, but he holds yours firmly. Confused, you turn to face him. He bites his lip, looking as though he's steeling himself for something. You raise your eyebrows at him.
"Y/N, I like you."
