Love At First Glance (Love at Firsts #1)(68)

“Well that’s reassuring.” I laugh. “You’re a bit weird. You know that?”

“I do and it’s my weirdness that won you over.”

“It might have been.” I shrug and kiss him, pressing my body into his as he leans against the counter with Bernard rubbing up against his back.

“Looks like this little one is happy to see us together.” He chuckles.

“He’s always loved you so it’s not that surprising.” I shrug and grab my bag and notes from yesterday.

“Ready?”

“Whenever you are.” I smile.

“Clearly, you’re not ready.” He chuckles.

“Why not?” I look at him confused and follow his amused gaze to my feet. “Forgot my shoes.” I mumble and hurry to my room to put on a pair of sneakers. “Better?” I ask walking back to him.

“Much.” He chuckles and leads me out of my apartment after making sure Bernard has food and water.

We make our way downstairs to his car and it’s a good thing the drive to work isn’t long because I’m already five minutes late.

Spencer drops me off in front of the office and refrains from coming in this time.

“I’ll see you tonight. Call or text if anything.” He pulls me closer for another kiss.

“I will. See you later.” I kiss him again and get out of the car, turning around to the entrance of the building to wave at him.

This day could not have started any better.





CHAPTER 21



Saturday

The past week has flown by. I saw Spencer every night and every night he made me fall a little bit more in love with him, if that was even possible. He really is trying with Valentine, but I can tell it’s hard on him so I’ve kind of given up, at least for now.

Tonight is the night of Valentine’s Halloween party and I was worried about the outfit Spencer picked for me, but it turns out to be perfect. It’s a short, black, velvet dress with purple accents. The sleeves are made of black lace and it has a sweetheart neckline with the bustier really pushing my boobs up. Spencer is going to have a field day looking at them all night. The boots he chose are to die for and I’m totally using them as every day boots. They are black with cream accents in the brogue style and they stop mid-calf.

Spencer looks f*cking hot in his outfit. He’s dressed a simple three-piece suit with purple accents to match mine. The waistcoat hugs his narrow waist perfectly and the pants make his ass look marvelous.

I smile as I look at mine and Spencer’s reflection in his full length mirror.

“We definitely were born in the wrong era. This is so our style.” He smirks whilst staring at my boobs.

“I’m not going to start wearing corset for your pleasure.” I look at him.

“You’re no fun.” He kisses my head and fixes my hair, placing the curls perfectly over my shoulders.

“I am, you’re just too focused on my boobs to realize it.” I shrug.

“It’s not my fault if they’re literally in my face.” He chuckles and gives each boob a kiss.

“Weirdo.” I shake my head as put on my boots.

“And proud.” He fixes his collar and holds his arm out to me.

“Oh, I know you’re proud.” I smile, linking my arm in his as we head out.

“After you ma’am.” He smiles and opens the door for me. I walk out and wait for him by the car as he locks the front door. He walks round to the passenger side to open the door for me before running around the car to climb into the driver’s seat. I’m actually excited for this party. We don’t usually do much for Halloween besides sit around watching movies and pigging out on food. A part of me wishes we were doing that this year, but the kid in me is excited to go out. I’m not sure how long Spencer will handle being there, it’s not that he doesn’t like going to bars or clubs, but going to Valentine’s club is something different.

“What are you thinking about?” Spencer asks, bringing me back to reality.

“How long you’ll last at Val’s club.” I grin innocently.

“We’ll see.” He smiles, but I know it’s forced.

“We don’t have to go if you don’t want to.”

“I’ll be okay. Don’t worry.” He smiles at me.

“If you say so.” I lean over to kiss his cheek and put on some music. We’re both on edge about tonight.

A few minutes later, we park by the club and the queue is already insane. It stretches around the corner of the street and halfway down the road. Even though it’s a brand new club, it already has its regulars. I smile as I take in the club, Valentine definitely gone all out with the Halloween theme, he has completely decorated the front with giant spiders, spider webs, witches and various other spooky things. There are even two talking skeletons standing on either side of the entrance.

One of the bouncers waves at me as we walk towards the club. He greets me and hands me an envelope before letting us in. I check what’s in it and grin as I pull out two VIP passes with free unlimited drinks.

“I’m slowly warming up to him.” Spencer chuckles and I show him each level on the way to the VIP lounge. I remember to snap a couple of pictures of the decorations and staff in amazing costumes and make up for the magazine. My favorite has to be the Freddy Krueger impersonator, he looks like he could be the real one.
