warnings- mention of kidnapping (jokingly)

//////////////////

Whatcha doin’?” He asks, stepping into my room, forcing me to move back.

“Sure, come on in.” I grumble, closing the door behind him as he looks back to me with a smirk. “I was just about to watch some tv.”

“Cool, mind if I join you?” He asks, plopping himself down on my bed.

“What about Josh?”

“He’s knocked out in his room.” He answers, picking up the remote and flipping through the channels. I sigh and run my hands over my face.

What’s the harm in letting him stay right? We’re both adults who can control our impulses. It’ll be fine. Right?

“Okay, fine. But take off your shoes.”

“Bossy. Is there anything else you want me to take off?” He smirks and I roll my eyes.

“Make one more inappropriate joke and I’ll throw you out.” I warn, walking over to the bed and crawling in the spot next to him.

“Your room, your rules.” He giggles and I roll my eyes again, snatching the remote from his hands to which he gives me a pout.

“My room, my remote.” I smile and he gives me yet another one of his signature smirks. I turn from him, flipping through the shows on the guide and trying to find one that suits both of our interests. I feel him scoot closer to me and force my body to move away just slightly. He chuckles to himself and stays put as I continue flipping through the random shows. I finally decide on a random movie neither of us have seen, Spencer leans against the headboard of my bed and focuses all his attention on the movie as I pull out my phone. My heart sinks when I see no notification from Mica, he promised he’d text today but he hasn’t. This has happened before so it’s not surprising, just a little disappointing.

“Is he missing or something? I’ve seen you check your phone at least 30 times in the last 2 hours and each time you looked more and more dejected.” He observes and I can tell there’s genuine sadness for me in his voice and blatant anger towards Mica.

“No, he’s not missing. He’s just...busy.” I whisper, holding my phone to my chest and Spencer scoffs.

“Too busy to make time for his girlfriend?”

“He has a lot of exams, Spence. It’s fine.”

“We all have exams, Har. Sam’s a pre-med major and Maya says he’s never missed a date night, so him being busy is a shit excuse.” He spits, venom lacing every word.

I sigh and run my fingers through my hair, shaking my head.

“You deserve someone who makes time for you, Harley.” He whispers softly and the sudden change in his tone nearly makes my head spin.

“It’s fine, Spence. Really.” I whisper, wishing we’d move off this topic but as I feel the bed dip and see Spencer’s face in front of mine, I realize this conversation is far from over.

“It’s not fine, Harley. What part of this is fine? I understand that he’s busy, we all are but that doesn’t mean he gets to treat you like this. When was the last time he did something for you? Hm? When was the last time you didn’t feel like you were the second or even third thought in his mind?”

“God Spencer just fucking drop it would you?!” I shout before burying my head in my hands. I hear him sigh in front of me and I can already see him running his fingers through his air without lifting my head from where it’s buried.

“I’m sorry baby, I didn’t mean to make you upset.” He whispers and the pet name he’s called me for as long as I can remember has my heart feeling like it’s being tugged on by a thousand hands. He wraps his hands around my wrists, gently forcing my hands away from my face and I let him. He gives me a soft smile as my eyes meet his and cups the side of my face. “You deserve so much better than him, Har. I just wish you’d think about yourself long enough to see that.” He says softly. I look him over as he focuses on the thumb stroking my cheek and I couldn’t tell you what came over me when I saw him like that and felt his gentle touch but I know that it must’ve been incredibly strong because it led to me crashing my lips into his.
