Team Sparia

Chapter 19 - "I'll protect you."

Aria's POV
"Spencer!" I scream at the top of my lungs. I hear Spencer sprint as fast as she can and burst into the bedroom her eyes wide with fear.
"What?" She asks concern colouring her voice. I was standing on the bed in an attempt to get away from the creature in our bedroom.
"Kill it!" I squeal pointing at the spider that had darted out from no where and nearly given me a heart attack. Spencer's head snaps in the direction of my finger and I hear her laugh.
"Are you serious? I thought you were hurt." She complains.
"Please just kill it." I plead not wanting to get off the bed until it was gone.
"But it's done nothing wrong." Spencer says smiling at me.
"Spencer please." I beg and watch as she exits the room. When she reenters I scowl at her and she holds up a glass.
"I'm not going to kill it." She says cornering it and scooping it up into the glass. I watch as she goes to the window and throws the spider from the glass onto the fire escape where it scurries away into the night. I let out a breath of relief while Spencer reaches her hand out for me to take it. I grab hold of her hand and she helps me down off the bed. "You're so adorable." She mutters and I scowl.
"Those things are scary." I reply positive that if Spencer hadn't been home then I probably would have curled up on the bed until she got home.
"I know your pretty small but they're smaller." Spencer says teasing me.
"Shut up." I reply trying to think of something insulting about Spencer's height but failing to.
"Hey I love your height, it makes it easier for me to do this." Spencer pulls me into her and rests her chin on the top of my head in a tight embrace. I laugh which comes out muffled since my head was buried in her chest. "I'll protect you." Spencer says softly. I smile to myself and breath in Spencer's scent which to me was intoxicating. I did feel a lot more safe wrapped in her arms and I knew she meant what she had said. I pull away and look at her, drinking in her appearance. She was smiling at me slightly, her coffee brown eyes were staring at me and I let my eyes wonder her slim frame. How was it even possible to be that beautiful? "What are you thinking?" Spencer interrupts my thoughts and I smile at her.
"About you." I confess and take a small amount of triumph in the blush that covers Spencer's cheeks lightly. Spencer tugs on my arm dragging me into the living room where she turns on the stereo. "What are you doing?" I ask looking at Spencer who was leaning against the counter by the stereo observing me. The song 'Adore You' was playing in the background as she slowly walks towards me.
"May I have this dance?" Spencer asks holding out her hand. I take it and she pulls me to her placing a hand on my hip the other still holding my hand. She started to slowly sway to the music and slowly she moves her hands to my back pulling us closer and I wrap my arms around her neck staring into her eyes. I was smiling and laughing at how amazingly cute Spencer was being. We were waddling around our apartment to a cheesy love song but all I could see was her and her bright smile when I laughed. Spencer spins me out suddenly and then pulls me back into her. She leans down and rests her head on my shoulder and I do the same to her so we're even closer then we were before. "I love you." She says quietly but she's practically next to my ear so I can hear her perfectly.
"I love you so much." I reply back feeling all my love for Spencer pour into the words. It's so strange how we got to this point. You'd think it would never happen. I mean we are best friends and not to mention that we're both girls who never thought the other one would ever have feelings for the other. I'm so glad that Spencer decided to kiss me that night otherwise we may have never ended up together. "God knew exactly what he was doing, When he led me to you." I chuckle lightly at the line of the song. I didn't really know if there was a God but I knew that something more than love had brought Spencer and I together. Destiny. Or something like that. Spencer's hold around my back was strong and secure that I thought she would never let me go. Our torsos were touching and our heads were resting on each other's shoulders, we really couldn't be any closer. It was like something out of the movies something I had never felt with anyone, ever, before. "And when you say you need me, Know I need you more." It was true whenever Spencer said she loved me or she told me that she needed me I always felt like I loved her and needed her more. I guess that's just it though Spencer probably feels the same way when I tell her those things. When you truly love someone you think that you love them more than they love you and they think that they love you more than you love them. It's confusing but so is love. The song ends and Spencer breaks up our little dance before switching off the stereo. "Let's go for a walk." Spencer suggests already grabbing a coat off the rack. I raise an eyebrow at her and she smiles at me. Its pretty late about ten o'clock at night, where could she possibly want to go? I grab a jacket off the rack and lace my fingers in hers before following her out the door. Wherever we're going I don't really care. As long as she's with me.
