Love At First Glance (Love at Firsts #1)(23)



“That too.” I grin innocently and dig into my burger as he sits down next to me.

“I know you too well.” He elbows me gently and smiles.

“That you do,” I say around a mouthful if burger.

“And that’s why I’m not attracted to you,” he says as he points to my mouth. “You eat like a pig when it’s just the two of us.” He laughs and passes me napkins.

“I do not! How am I supposed to eat in a lady like way when the burger is bigger than my face?”

“Layers?” He looks at me with wide eyes.

“Where’s the fun in that? You can’t break the burger!” I exclaim as I take another bite.

“You weirdo. How was your week?”

I swallow before answering this time. “Work wise, boring. Besides researching for the interview with the fashion designer I told you about not much happened.” I shrug.

“You’ll do a good job, I believe in you, Have.” He smiles. “How about your love life? Has there been any action in your granny panties?” He snickers and takes a bite of his burger.

“I don’t wear granny panties. You dick! No th-”

“You and my dick again. Haven, this is starting to become an obsession.” He chuckles, cutting me off.

“You’re so full of yourself. I bet you have a nippledick.” I snicker.

“What the f*ck is a nippledick?” He looks at me confused.

“A tiny one. Matt’s words not mine.”

“Well, considering you always complain that you can see it in these, you know it’s anything but tiny so shut up with that, but I do knew a few people who do suffer with that affliction.” He chuckles.

“Gross.” I frown and take another bite.

“You started the dick talk. So? Did he have a nippledick?” He laughs sounding proud of himself.

“He probably did. We never got to that part.” I shrug.

“Why not? Did you want it?”

“The evening went well. He was a nice guy and a gentleman. We took dessert to go and I invited him in for coffee, nothing else. He started to flirt and I flirted back, well that’s what he said. Anyway, we had the cannoli and then the neighbors started their f*ckfest and were loud again so he offered to outdo them and started to get real handsy and wouldn’t let me go so I to-”

“Where does he live? I’m going to f*cking cut his dick off!” I rarely see Spencer pissed, but he is more than a little mad right now.

“I kicked him out before he could do anything. He told Matt that I was tease because I had flirted with him all night and had apparently wanted it as much as he did only to turn him down at the last minute.” I sigh.

“It’s good that you kicked him out. I’m proud of you for sticking up for yourself. Next time I’ll do a background check on your date. If he has the tiniest shadow he’s out of the picture,” he says with finality.

“And I’m dying alone as an old lady with her army of cats.” I sigh and take another bite.

“I won’t let you die alone. Who knows, maybe it’s in the cards for us to fall madly in love and end up together.”

“How easy would that be? We already know everything about each other. Dating would be a lot less stressful but it would be so f*cking weird when it’d come to kissing and sex.” I physically shudder.

“Thank you for the shudder. Appreciate that.” He chuckles.

“Don’t get me wrong, you’re HOT, perfect body, face, dick,” He shakes his head at me. “but you’re also like a brother to me, which would make it really awkward, don’t you think?”

“You’re right. It’d be too awkward.” He leans towards me and kisses my head.

“Me too. I don’t know what I would do without you in my life.”

“Let’s not think about that. Let’s just enjoy our lives to the fullest and find you a guy who’ll get rid of all those cobwebs between your legs.” He snickers and I smack his arm.

“Dickhead.” I glare at him and steal some of his sweet potato fries.

“Don’t insult me and steal my food.” He chuckles and steals some of my regular fries.

“You love me.”

“Well, we’ve already established that we’re madly in love but can’t be together because it’d be too awkward.” He sighs dramatically.

“We’ll find you someone too.”

“Or we’ll both die old in a cabin by the lake surrounded by cats.” He chortles and hugs me.

“That doesn’t sound too bad actually.” I grin and cuddle into him.

“I know.” I can feel his smile as he rests his head on mine.

In a perfect world, Spencer and I would be attracted to each other but this world is far from perfect. As long as I have Spencer in my life, things will be fine.



Thump. Moan. Thumb. Moan. Moan. Moan. Scream? That’s a new one.

Spencer and I look at each other and he bursts out laughing.

“See what I have to deal with? I thought the other night was bad but they are in top form tonight. We can actually hear them from in here!” I make a gagging sound.

“Prude.” He chuckles.

“I’m not a prude! Stop saying that, for f*ck’s sake. Just because I don’t f*ck everything that has a dick means that I’m a prude.” I shake my head and go to get up but Spencer holds me back.
