* RING * * RING *

“Spencer! Your phone is freaking out!” Aiden says from the bedroom.

“I got it!” she says walking towards the kitchen from the bathroom to where her phone was ringing and vibrating on the counter.

“What was that ringtone” Aiden asks looking up from his laptop and peering out of the bedroom door to talk to Spencer in the kitchen.

“It was a text. As far as the song, I couldn’t tell you. It’s one of those crappy songs Ashley likes. She must have changed my ringers yesterday while I was over there” Spencer says walking into the bedroom

“Oh, okay.” He says and goes back to working on his laptop.

Spencer’s phone rings again and she punches on the numbers to reply and then closes it. “Let’s go for a walk” she says out of the blue.

“Umm…okay I guess. You spaz”

“Whatever, you love me.” She says and walks back towards the bathroom.

“She normally tells me how much SHE loves ME when I agree to her sudden outbursts like that”

………………………………

Walking hand in hand through the park Aiden watches as Spencer stops to play with a large dog on a leash and make conversation with the owner who happens to be one of her co-workers.

Aiden lets his mind wander seeing as the conversation is boring him and they pretty much don’t acknowledge that he’s even there. Getting lost in the sight of Spencer he smiles just before his mind takes him back to that night. The night when everything started and he became insecure in the relationship that he thought was solid.

“Fucking dream” he mutters under his breath not even realizing that Spencer has finished her previous conversation and is walking slightly ahead of him as he drags behind.

“What dream? What are you talking about Aiden?” she looks at him confused.

“Nothing. It’s nothing just thinking out loud.”

“Apparently it is to have you acting all weird and skittish”

“It’s just…the…the other night while you were sleeping I-I heard…” he trails off when he sees a figure walking towards them.

“Aiden, Focus! What’s going on wi-” she was cut off by a pair of arms wrapping around her neck from behind and she tried to hide her grin but it was hopeless. “Hey Ash” she said pulling the girl to stand beside her with her right arm still draped over her shoulders.

“What’s up babe” Ashley replied and this made Aiden furious. Sure she called Spencer that before, but the fact that he suspected they were more than just friends made his blood boil. “Hey boy, how’ve you been? We really need to catch up, it’s been like forever” she continues as her bubbly self.

He just nods, “yeah, long time no see.”

“Okaaaay. Did I interrupt something between you and Mr. chatty here?”

“Um actually yeah can you gives us just a minute?”

“Sure thing babe. I’ll grab us all some cappuccinos from around the corner just meet me over there.”

“It’s okay, Ash I was just about to leave. You two go have fun.”

“What about what you were telling me?”

“It’s okay it can wait. I don’t think I am fully ready to talk about it now anyway”

Spencer walks up to him and wraps her arms through his. “You sure? It seemed like it was bothering you and I don’t want you to feel like you can’t talk to me about it.”

“No, I’m fine just go” he said kissing her forehead while glancing at Ashley who was looking down at her feet and kicking a rock. “I’ll see you when you get home.”

“Okay.” With that she walked away giggling and laughing with Ashley as she jumped on the smaller girls back.

“That used to be us” Aiden sighed and walked towards their empty apartment alone.
