45.

Y/N

"You alright?" He asked as I just nodded, just laying there.

I then felt a warm towel on me as I opened my eyes to him wiping me down. "I could've did that" I said trying to stop him as he chuckled. "Nah I got it, relax" he said stopping me as he gave me a small smile and I faintly smiled. He finished as I went to the bathroom then got back dressed in my night clothes.

I went back into Spencer's room as he had on a pair of sweats and he looked in my direction "you good?" He asked in a chuckle as I smiled and nodded. "Now the sleeping arrangements" I started off walking towards his bed. "You take the bed and I take the couch" he started off. "No I'll take the couch and you can sleep in the bed" I corrected taking the pillow from him.

"Get in the bed" He said as I quickly jumped in the bed making him chuckle and turn out the light. "Wait we have to pray" I brought up as he turned his lamp on next to the bed. He got on his knees I front of me as I grabbed his hands and I started praying. I prayed for myself, friends and my family along with Spencer, his friends and family, I finished as we both said "Amen".

"You're a Jesus freak too" he brought up getting in the bed beside me. "Yeah and what about it?" I asked as he chuckled and I smiled. "You pray for me?" He asked turning his head to look over at me as I looked over at him. "Yeah. It's the prayers that we pray and other people pray that covers us" I admitted as he looked over at me and smiled.

"What?" I asked with a smile "girl my momma is going to love you" he expressed causing us to share a small laugh. "We'll cross that bridge about our parents liking who we're with when we get there right now we're just-" I started off.

"Hooking up" he said then looked over at me "because that's what it feels like" he expressed. "Oh so you have sex like that with all the girls?" I asked making him let out a small laugh.

"Nah that-what we did, what we've been doing. It's something different" he said then looked over at me as I smiled. "All guys say that, you should know by now you can't run game on me" I said in a small laugh turning over as my back faced him. "Nah Y/N" he started off as I felt his hand rub my hips some as he pulled me closer. "I'm serious" he said before I felt a kiss on my back causing me to smile some. "We'll see" I said as I closed my eyes.

"Baby" he softly said "hmm?" I asked "you know when you weren't talking to me at the play off game my father showed up" he started off as I immediately rolled over to face him. "How did it go?" I asked concerned as he just stared up at the ceiling. "I haven't talked to him" He admitted. "Then my mother and coach basically told me why he walked out on us" he brought up. "Wait. what does my uncle have to do with this?" I questioned as Spencer just looked at me.

"An affair?!" I asked as he just sighed and looked at the ceiling. "Does Laura know?" I questioned "not yet" he said as I looked at him "you better not do it" I warned "why should they keep lying to everyone, his family deserves to know" he expressed.

"Why didn't you tell me your father came back into the picture?" I asked curious. "Because you wasn't talking to me and you were doing you" he said. "Yeah but that was something I'd be by your side for no matter if there was an argument or not. That's something that hurts you and  I wouldn't let you go through that alone" I expressed truthfully as he just looked at me.

"When you're hurting or in trouble, friend or not talk to me because I want to make sure I'm there for you and if anyway I can help I want to help" I assured as he faintly smiled. "Are you going to eventually talk to him?" I asked "I'm honestly angry, angry as hell" he admitted with tears threatening to come out and it hurt my heart to see him like that. He was literally support for everyone else, made them feel better anything they wanted to make happen he was first one to try and make it happen meanwhile he's hurting.

I tried wrapping my arms around him as he tried to move away. Then wiped his tears away. "I have to be strong" he expressed. "Spencer it's okay to cry. You're human just like everybody else, you have emotions like everyone else just because you're a black man doesn't mean you cannot cry or seek help" I started off as I just wrapped my arms around him as he wrapped his around me, laying his head on my chest.

I just rubbed his back and kissed the top of his head.

It was the next day as I was ready for the day. I came out of Spencer's room dressed as he just stood there looking me up and down

"good morning" he said as I smiled "good morning" I answered walking up to him. " Did you sleep good?" He asked me as I nodded. "You feeling a little better?" I questioned. "Yeah I think I really needed to hear what you said" he admitted as we smiled "it's going to be okay but as far as your dad. As much as you may not want too talk too him maybe it's for the best that you do." I said as he looked down and I grabbed his chin to look at me. " so he can hear you loud and clear about what's wrong with you and how all of this is affecting you." I explained.

He just faintly smiled as I smiled and kissed his cheek before hugging him. "Now you can do more than that friendly ass kiss on the cheek" he teased as we shared a laugh "no because your mother should be here soon and You not going to get me in trouble" I said with my hands on my hips as he chuckled. "Such a goody, goody. Meanwhile-" he started off as I stopped him. "Don't say it" I warned in a small laugh. "Meanwhile I be all up inside you. Make it make sense" he teased. "Shut up" I simply said playfully as he laughed while Bear hugging me.

We then heard the door unlock as we quickly turned seeing Grace walk in. "Hi mom" Spencer said as I smiled "good morning" I said as she just smiled at us. "Good morning you two how was last night?" She asked as I nudged Spencer off of me some. "It was good" I admitted. "Thanks for watching Dillon" she thanked  "anytime momma" Spencer said. "You two want breakfast?" Miss grace asked. "No it's fine you just got in from work, go relax" I assured as she smiled "besides I gotta get her back home" Spencer said referring to me.

"Y/N you want to come to church with us on Sunday?" Miss Grace questioned. "Oh uh" I started off as Spencer chuckled "ma really?" He asked. "I'm just asking you don't have to go if you don't want too sweetie" she assured grabbing my hand some causing me to smile. "I'll go with you guys next Sunday, I didn't want people to think you know Spence and I were together" I said looking over at Spencer then back at Miss. Grace as she was smiling.

"I get it you two want to keep this thing on the low" she started off as Spencer and I just looked at each other then back at her. "Nah we just friends" I heard Spencer say before I could speak as I looked over at him and he just looked away from me. "Yeah" I agreed as Miss Grace looked between us. "Well I'll see you next weekend I don't want you two to miss your bus" she said as we said our goodbyes and headed out the door.

The walk to the bus stop was quiet and once we finally got seated on the bus he was still quiet. Both bus rides it was quiet almost like he was ignoring me. We were finally back in Beverly Hills walking home.

I looked over at Spencer as he just walked beside me. "Spencer" I started off as he looked over at me. "You good?" I asked. "Yeah I'm straight you good?" He questioned a little upset as I just looked at him crazy. "Okay we was cool just before we left the house and now we're not" I said. "My mother already knows that something is going on between us so why keep saying we're just friends to our mothers?" He asked. "But Spence we're not together, you said yourself, come to you when I'm ready" I started off.

"You right" he simply said "okay what are you trying to say because you're throwing attitudes my way for no fucking reason" I expressed clearly irritated. "Meaning what are we doing?" He asked as I just looked at him crazy. "We just got back good what do you mean?" I asked confused as hell. "Meaning what do you view me as?" He asked stopping in his tracks as I did the same and we looked at each other.

"My friend because we aren't together" I truthfully said "so you really think that?" He asked as I just sighed "what you want me to say boyfriend?" I asked. "Nah don't even trip about it" he said continuing to walk. "You know what, we'll just leave it alone. You do you and I'll do me" I simply said taking my duffle bag from his hands. "For someone who wants me to be their girlfriend so badly can't even have the decency to wait nor ask me to be their girlfriend, just assumes that I am" I smartly said before walking off.
