Love At First Glance (Love at Firsts #1)(41)



“See, this is why I love you so much.” I grin and take a huge bite of the lemon meringue donut. “Oh god.” I moan and lick my lips. When I look up I see that Spencer’s eyes are glued to my lips. “You alright?”

“Y-yeah.” He smiles and takes a bite out of his half. “What do you want to do today?”

“I don’t know. We can go thrift shopping. I’m in need of a vintage leather jacket.”

“Want to impress the guys in the band you have to interview soon?” He raises his eyebrow.

“No, the ones in stores are too thin and they all look the same. I want something original and worn in.” I shrug.

“Who knew you’d ever be into fashion?”

“Not me, that’s for sure. I just saw one of the outfits a fashion designer I interviewed had made and it’s to die for. I just never would pay the price he asks for it; it’s like four months of rent just for the leather jacket alone.”

“Fashion has a price.” He chuckles.

“Yeah and I’m not ready to pay that price. I can make that outfit myself with a few items.” I shrug and finish my half of the lemon meringue donut.

“True. There’s a flea market today in LoDo, wanna go check it out?”

“Oh yes! Can we go in your car in case I find a cute table? Bernard likes to use this wooden one to sharpen his claws.” I frown as I look at my poor table.

“What did I get myself into?” He sighs dramatically, shaking his head at me.

“What? It’s not my fault.” I shrug before attacking the peanut butter donut.

“Of course not.” He eats his donut and we spend the rest of our breakfast making small talk.

After demolishing the donuts he brought, we quickly clean up last night’s dishes before heading out. As we are walking out of the elevator, Valentine is waiting to get in and a stare down between Spencer and Valentine starts. I sigh.

“Spencer, you remember Valentine.”

“All too well,” he says through clenched teeth.

“I’m glad you two could patch things up, I’d hate to be the reason for a friendship to be ruined. I’m sorry you got the wrong impression of me, man. I never meant to piss you off. It was just harmless flirting.” Valentine offers his hand to Spencer to shake. Spencer sizes him up before shaking his hand, probably more for my sake than anything else.

“Yeah, I’d have hated it too.” Is all Spencer says.

“When you two will stop trying to guess who has the biggest one…” I shake my head.

“Me obviously.” Spencer chuckles and wraps his arm around my shoulder before giving a final glare to Valentine and steering me out of the building.

“What was that all about?” I question him as we walk out and then stumble upon Adam. I groan loudly at the sight of him. “What are you doing here?” I almost yell.

“Woah, someone didn’t get f*cked properly, or are you still not having sex because of your weight?”

“You motherf*cker.” Spencer growls and I have to hold back a very pissed off Spencer before he punches Adam. Any other time I would let him do it, but across the street are a couple of cops looking in our direction. I point them out to Spencer and he calms down.

“You know that I wasn’t having sex with you for very different reasons, it had nothing to do with my weight. It was because of your nippledick. I could never feel it and I lost interest. It’s not like there was much to see and you couldn’t use it properly either so.” I shrug and see Adam turn a nice shade of red.

“What are you doing here dipshit?” Spencer asks as he pats my ass to congratulate me for standing up for myself.

“You’re a f*cking bitch. I hope you live a miserable life. You don’t deserve any happiness.” Adam spits at me.

“What have I done now? You’re the one who cheated on me and got caught!” I exclaim, I’m getting pissed now.

“You left me!” He yells, catching everyone’s attention.

“Way to go girl, you upgraded that’s for sure.” An older woman who was walking by calls out to me.

“Thanks.” I grin at her and turn back to Adam. “You see, I’m very happy. I have the people I love around me and the people who were causing me stress out of my life. I’ve never been this happy in my life. Ever since that Monday, my life turned out to be pretty freaking amazing. I thought I was ruined when I lost my job and you, but it turns out that it was the beginning of my new happy life. So, maybe, I should actually thank you for doing me such a favor.” I beam realizing it's all true.

“You’re going to regret this.” Adam sneers.

“Oh really? And what are you going to do?” I taunt him even though it’s probably a stupid thing to do.

“You’ll see.” He smirks evilly whilst looking between Spencer and I. “You’ll see.” He repeats creepily and walks away.

“What the f*ck was that?” Spencer shouts, not at all happy with the situation.

“Thank you for letting me stand up for myself.” I squeeze his hand.

“No worries, I never trusted that guy but f*ck, he’s even creepier than before.” Spencer looks worried.

“That he is.”

“Are you okay?” He looks at me, concern marring his handsome face.
