Bet Gone Rouge- S.R.

chapter 2

You heard your name being called from outside your room and a set a keys jingle. You jumped up from your position to see an unconscious figure next to you, Spencer. He slept with his arms crossed across his chest. He released a small puff of air before shifting slightly. You got out of your bed very carefully. Opening the door lightly to avoid waking up Spencer. "Hey Xavier, what's up?" You asked quietly puzzled as to why he's here so early.

"I just wanted to pick up a few things, why are you whispering? Is someone else here?" He asked with a cheeky smile. You grabbed the pain relievers that were left on your counter and took two for your raging headache.

"Yeah, my friend is sleeping in there."

"Oooo do tell."

"No one, you'd be interested with, X. Grab whatever you need I'm going to cook, are you staying?" Your head was ringing.

"No, I'll leave you and your 'friend' to it." He winked.

"Y/n?" You heard a sleepy voice call out. Xavier looked at you and mouthed 'Spencer, I knew it.' "Oh Xavier, hello." He said quickly composing himself.

"Hey Spencer, how are you?"

"G-good." He muttered clearly uncomfortable.

"Well, this is fun, Spence pancakes or waffles?"

"Waffles, need help?"

"Sure, can you grab the flour and sugar from to top shelf of the farthest cabinet to the right please?" You walked over to your fridge to grab eggs and milk.

"Can I talk to you real quick?" Xavier asked motioning for you to come towards him.

"Yeah, I'll be right back." You looked at him. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing just wanted to say get it girly. I knew it would be him." He winked before pulling you into a hug.

"No, he's just a friend I got drunk last night and he stayed over because it was late."

"Uh-huh, well you two are very cute together."

"Speaking of cute together how is the girlfriend?"

"She's great, it's still too early to know much but we are very excited. Also, I never got to thank you for being so understanding and willing to stay in my life. You'll always be my friend no matter what. I love you, Y/N."

"I couldn't imagine being able to cut you out completely and I love you too. But the house has been super lonely without you. I better get updates on you."

"You too, now go back to your boy."

"Stay safe please."

"Always." He winks before going to the door. "Bye, Spencer!"

"Bye." He said calmly waiting for you to come back over to him. "So, what did he want to talk to you about?" He questioned arching his eyebrow before slowly making eye contact.

"We were just talking about staying in touch and how his girlfriend is doing."

"That's all?"

"Yeah, why Spence?"

"Just wondering. Now let's make some breakfast." He said chipperly.

"You're like a happy toddler waiting for mom to cook." You said while searching for vanilla extract and baking powder.

"I can't help that I love breakfast foods." He said smiling.

"Okay baby boy, can you get the salt from the counter for me?"

"Of course. And now you are going to annoy me over my age? I am older than you, you know." You pulled out a mixing bowl from under the counter.

"You don't like my nicknames, I'm hurt, baby boy." You said smiling cockily in his direction.

"If you keep calling me names, I'll just start calling you names."

"Good, you are finally catching on. We've only been trying to get you onboard for years." You put all the ingredients in the bowl, giving Spencer the bowl and a whisk. "You get to put your hands to use." You searched your cabinets for the iron.

"No, I'm only going to call you names it'll drive all the others insane. What are you doing?" He asked giggling softly.

"Well, pretty boy, when you make waffles you need this thing called a waffle iron, so my fine ass is looking said device that I know I possess because it's one of my prized possessions."

"Well, sweetheart, while you were talking to Xavier, I got it out for you. If you were to look at your island, you'd see your prized possession."

"Oh, so no comment on my fine ass then?" You said smiling at him, he didn't respond just cocked his head in a confused manner. You felt the need to break the short silence "I'll go heat it. How's the batter?"

"I got it pretty smooth."

"So do you have any plans today?" You asked.

"No I'll probably just read over some past cases, how about you?"

"I think I'm going to go shopping." The waffle machine turned green. "Before we start making the waffles I got to do something."

"What's that?" You took the bowl out of his grasp before sticking your finger around the rim of the bowl and rubbing some of the batter on his nose.

"There now I'm ready genius." You took the bowl over to the counter with the iron.

"Oh no you don't, come here." He rushed over behind you reaching for the batter, he collected some and dragged the batter across your cheek. "Now we are even." He licked the remaining batter off his finger. "Good stuff though." You eyed rolled before pouring the liquid into the iron.
