Spencer and I haven't talked as much as we use to. Of course it's to be expected, he's busy basically being Sherlock Holmes and I'm busy with work. But there's moments where I truly miss him more than anything else in the world.
I dialed Spencer's number on the home phone as I slid into a small tank top with a jean mini skirt.
" Hello love?" he says tired.
" Hey, guess what!"
"Hm?"
" Eh, I have no idea. I just said that to add suspense in our life. Making our love life more spicy like a Britney Spears music video."
He sighed and humed making me frown as I faced the mirror with his silence.
" Well, listen, I was thinking of what I was gonna eat so then I thought of the left over French fries I had earlier. Mind you, the French fries were amazing. But reheated French fries suck and taste awful. So I was wondering if you wanted to grab some pizza with me during your break or when your done?"
" Thats fine."
I played with my lips thinking of what to say as we stayed on the call with dead silence.
" Lover boy come over here!" I hear Derek in the background say.
" Listen I got to g-"
" No, no, yea you go on ahead. I'll see you to-"
And just like that he hung up.
I brushed my hair out letting my curls go back to straight and applied a touch up in my makeup.
I sat in my car waiting for him.
5 minutes.
10 minutes.
15 minutes.
20 minutes.
25 minutes.
30 minutes.
35 minutes.
I heard a loud knock on my window as I looked to Louis.
" Cheeseburgers, onions rings, and a list of people who killed their boyfriends and got a way with it. I'm looking for hero's " I mutter as I unlock the car door for him to get in.
His hair is messy, he's pale with darker eyes than the last time I saw him.
He squinted his eyes while looking out the window, " where are we heading?"
I slightly shrugged, " maybe have dinner with Bob Marley, too bad he died before he discovered mini bites."
" I really don't have time for your jokes" his tone was harsh but I knew he was stressed so I decided to be the bigger person and say nothing.
" Even Jerry Springer has time for jokes. Jokes are for everyone expect for those horrible people who made tests."
He stayed silent. The tension in the car was thick and I was thinking of every possible way of lighting the mood.
" Well I can tell you where we're not going, that darn Wiener Schnitzel" I giggled, remembering a time where me and Spencer had gotten lost on the road and ended up there with ketchup on my lips without him telling me until we got home.
He sighed heavily, " for fucks sake, can we just go eat? Is that so much to ask?"
I narrowed my eyes at him, " how about I talk and you listen?"
" Do I get bonus points if I act like I care? Or would that be too much for you to comprehend?"
I rolled my eyes with a fake smile as I turned to him, " right, because last time I remembered, I was a valedictorian for Yale."
" But you obviously can't even chose a place to go fucking eat?" he scoffed, crossing his arms.
" If you're auditioning for the Breakfast Club then I really think you have the whole John Bender thing down. You can already call your mum and tell her you're famous for your own fucks sake!"
His face was turning red at his point, " Jesus" he grumbled.
" Jesus, Mary, Joseph, and the camel" I said sarcastically, with jazz hands knowing it would irritate him.
" Enough! I'm tired! Why don't you ever think? Just leave me alone for fucks sake!"
" You think your words don't have any effect on me, but they do" I say throwing the keys to him as I get out of the car. I wrapped my Hermes scarf around my neck as I felt the cold winter breeze. I walked into the nearest coffee shop, " I need coffee in a IV bag, go ahead and put two in my arm."
The worker raised an eyebrow, " huh?"
I waved it off and ordered as I sat near the window, occasionally signing autographs. Many missed calls and text came from Spencer but I couldn't stomach to listen to him.
This wasn't like any of our argument, it wasn't like Ricky and Lucy, this was Sid and Nancy kind of argument.
9:57pm Spencer- I'm sorry about what I said. Please text or call me back. Where are you??
10:03pm Spencer- I was in the wrong, ok? Full way, no doubt. Please tell me where you are to pick you up.
10:12pm Spencer- Listen love, I'm truly sorry. The argument should've never happened. I was just tired and hungry, like how you get when you don't go to Target...that was a joke but please text me back.
10:14pm Spencer- Please darling, it's getting late. I promise to make it up soon. We can play the piano and have coffee at home.
10:16pm Spencer- ...I'm so stupid, of course you have to be at a coffee shop.
And soon enough there he goes, walking into the door. He slid into the chair on front of me with a small smile, " hey, have I seen you somewhere? Maybe Vogue's magazine?"
I shrugged as I took sip from my coffee, " yes, I was on dateline for attempt of murder of killing my boyfriend."
He opened his mouth in disbelief with a small laugh, " you're cruel."
I nodded with the cup near my mouth, " keeps me young."
He reached out across the table for my hands, " I'm sorry. "
I kissed his lips, " It was every Sid of you, what can I say? You have many screw ups ahead of you so we better go home and start working on them."
