"What?" Did I say that out loud? By her reaction I’m going with yes. Shit Davies, what the hell is wrong with you?

"I um. Olive juice?" Smooth Davies. Nope she didn’t buy it. No turning back now. "I said I love you Spencer. You know what though it’s true. I don’t throw that word around, I barely ever say it to my mother. Maybe I should have said it more to Kyla but now it’s too late. I’m in love with you Spencer Carlin." I search her eyes for any silent confessions.

She takes me off guard when she captures my lips in heated kiss. I’m gently pushed back until my head hits the pillow with one thing on my mind.

She didn’t say it back.

—————-

"… And that’s how it went." I look up into the caring green eyes I’ve come to trust.

"Wow." He scratches his head and looks at me. It’s silent while I let him process this new information.

"What do you think Aiden?"

"Honestly?" I rub my eyebrow and nod expecting the worst. "She’s scared, give it time Ash." I stare at him in shock.

"That’s it? ‘Give it time Ash’? I’ve screwed up the best thing that has happened to me since Kyla was alive. And you say, ‘Give it time Ash’?" Okay maybe I’m being a little hysterical, but I’m freaking out here.

"Yes, that’s exactly what I’m saying. She loves you back, a blind person can see that." I take a deep breath and look at my newly acquainted friend.

"You’re right Aid, I’m sorry for snapping." He smiles and nods his approval. "So, what’s new with you and Skyler. You guys left school pretty fast." He blushes and ducks his head.

"Me and Skyler skipped to go to the beach." I smile knowingly.

"You guys together now?" I chuckle lightly as his blush deepens.

"Not officially but I was going to ask him on a date." I smile and nod genuinely happy for the two.

Spencer’s POV

"Thanks Sky. I don’t know what I’d do without you." He smiles and pulls me into a warm hug.

"Anything for you Spence." He pulls back and walks out the door. He turns around before I shut it. "Go talk to her Spence." With that he walks down the drive way and around the corner. I stand with the door open trying to think of the best thing to do is when someone calls my name.
