Only You ✔️

8- Take Two

Nova

Was I rushing into this to fast with him? Maybe I was.

But it was Spencer. He had never let me down before. That was the thing. I could always rely on him.

Right now I was completely content with him. Laying in his arms, getting lost in the feeling of his fingers tracing little patterns on my arm.

I had dropped Hallie off at school and came right over to Spencer's house. I didn't want to miss any chance to be with him.

"Hey Novs?"

"Hmmm?"

"I was thinking, and I think it would maybe be a semi good idea for you to maybe move in with me?"

He had caught me off guard. It had only been a week, but I had been living in a motel since I walked out on Wes.

"Are you sure you want Hallie and me? I mean she's a lot to handle, and I'm a mess. I don't want to put that on you Spence."

He lets out a light chuckle.

"Babe I wouldn't have offered if I didn't think I could 'handle it'. I don't like the idea of you being in a motel when I have plenty of room."

"You only have one extra bedroom" I remind him sitting up.

"Yeah So Hallie can sleep in there, she can have all her toys and paint it any color she wants."

"And where would I sleep?" I ask him with a raised brow.

His cheeks get red and he clears his throat.

"Uh, well you can sleep in here with me. The bed is big enough and I have a lot of extra space in the closet."

I stare at him with a quirked eyebrow. He was asking to me to move in with him, and to sleep in the same bed as him.

Boy he's awful direct.

"Or if not, I can sleep on the couch and you can have my room" he says when I don't respond.

"No Spencer, I'm not having you sleep on the couch"

"I'm offering to though, I don't mind"

"Spence no."

"Just think about it ok?"

I smile at him. He was so sweet and caring.

"I don't need to, I already know my answer"

His face drops.

"When do you want us?"

His face brightens and he smiles like a little kid.

He leans in and captures my lips with his. I kiss him back, moving my lips in sync with him.

When he pulls away he's still smiling.

"I can start cleaning everything up today and you can move your stuff in tonight? And tomorrow we can unpack."

I couldn't help but smile. But then my smile fades, packing my things meant seeing Wes again. And I didn't know if I was ready for that.

"Hey you okay?" Spencer asks me, gently placing a hand on the side of my face.

"Yeah, I-I Just am trying to prepare myself for seeing Wes again"

His face softens as his thumb slightly brushes my cheek.

"I know it'll be hard babe, but if you need me, I'll be there with you."

Babe

I felt my heart flutter.

"No, it's ok. I need to do it myself. But if you could watch Hallie for me, I'd appreciate it. I don't want her there if we start fighting"
