Pence

Chapter Two

At 6PM, Niall texted Spencer. "Hey love, want to meet me at the end of the pier in an hour?" She quickly responded, "I'd love to!" She hopped through the shower, threw on a yellow dress, her silver cross necklace and blue flats. She coated her eyelashes, changed her shoes to pink wedges brushed her hair. Soon it was time to go. "I'll see you later, don't you dare wait up!" She called as she delicately closed the door. The path to the pier was only two blocks, so she chose to walk.

'I'm going to meet Niall Horan.' Was all she could think. The walk down the pier felt like she was walking to her ultimate destiny. She saw him at the end, leaning against the rail staring at the water. When Spencer was about 3 feet from him, Niall turned around and Spencer's toe caught on a loose plank. She tripped, but Niall, quick on his feet, caught her.

"You alright, Pence?" He had quickly started calling Spencer 'Pence'.

"Sorry!" She turned bright red. "That's embarrassing." She mumbled.

"Don't worry, love." He took her hand and they walked along the pier.

"So tell me about yourself." He turned into a small Italian restaurant.

"We'll I have two brother's, Grover is twenty-two and Max is twelve. My parents live in Portland, Oregon."

"The reservation's under Crawford." Niall told the hostess. Spencer turned bright red for the second time that night.

"Crawford for two." She took two menus from a shelf behind her and led them to a window table. Spencer brushed through her long blonde hair with her fingers.

"You look lovely tonight." Niall stroked Spencer's hand thoughtfully.

"Thanks." Her eye gaze shot down to her lap. They ate plenty and then headed back to the pier.

"Do you like California?" Spencer asked thoughtfully.

"Yeah, it's wonderful." He smiled and glanced at Spencer.

"Ooh! Have you been in here?" Spencer gestured towards a small bakery.

"No, c'mon!" They skipped into Matilda's Baked Goods. They both got a cupcake. They continued walking around the pier. Spencer laughed at something Niall said and ended up with cupcake on her chin.

"I've got it, Pence." He swiftly kissed her chin, and moved up to her mouth. She couldn't help but smile. He walked her back to her hotel.

"Thank you for tonight. I'll see you tomorrow." He put his head against her head. She brushed her nose against his and he kissed her again. The walk up to her hotel room was hurried, she quickly got up to her room.

"Jessica! You wouldn't believe what just happened!" Spencer grabbed a water from the mini fridge.

"Yes I would." She stated simply.

"Hmm?"

"It's all over the Internet! Niall and 'mystery girl' have a romantic night on the pier." Jessica gawked at Spencer. "Is it true that he pushed a cake in your face and licked it off?"

"No!" Spencer sat down and explained the whole night to Jessica.

Jessica fell asleep soon after that; she had spent her free time in the gym. But spencer stayed up late texting Niall Horan.
