“Oh stop it, Marco. You have thicker skin than I do! Who’s the one who took down 3 drag queens who told him his ‘ass was bigger than J-Lo’s’? I didn’t see you running home and crying about that one! Now give me that number!” Spencer held out her hand waiting for Marco to place the paper in her hand.

“Fine, whatever.” He pulled the number out and put it in Spencer’s hand. “My ass is perfect by the way.” He shook his behind at Spencer after turning around to finish his cooking. “Oh and just so you know I told Ashley how to get here and to drop by around 7 to pick you up.”

“Marco, its 6:20! I don’t have enough time to get ready. I still have to find something to wear!” Spencer started to panic.

“Sweetie, calm down. I already picked out an outfit for you that will knock her dead. It’s lying on your bed. When she gets here I will let her in and entertain her while you finish up ok?”

Spencer kissed Marco on the cheek. “Thanks Marco. But please no more ‘love’ talk ok? I don’t want you scaring her away.”

Spencer ran into her room to take a shower and saw the outfit spread out on her bed. He had picked out a black backless dress that made Spencer look GOOD and black heels to match. ‘Thank you Marco.’

Spencer could hear laughing coming from the living room and knew that Ashley had arrived. Spencer looked herself over once more to make sure she looked just right and slowly made her way to where Ashley was waiting.

“So she took the book to the counter and looked the girl straight in the eyes yelling ‘What kind of place is this? Do you realize that a small child could be looking at this?’ The girl looked at her and told her that she had no idea what she was talking about. So Spencer looked down at the book she was carrying and realized that instead of grabbing the Playboy she had found in the Children’s section she was carrying a copy of ‘Where the Wild Things Are.’ She was sooo embarrassed and just left the store.” Marco was laughing along with Ashley. Spencer cleared her throat grabbing both of their attentions.

“That story is not funny. They should keep an eye out for that sort of thing though. I mean it was right there next to Clifford the Big Red Dog!” Spencer cried.

Ashley and Marco kept laughing. Ashley finally cleared her vision from the tears that had formed in her eyes to notice what Spencer was wearing.

“Oh wow, Spence! You look amazing.” She looked Spencer over a few times causing Spencer to blush from head to toe.

“You don’t look too bad yourself.” Spencer said noticing the brunette’s outfit. Ashley was wearing a dark blue dress that left little to the imagination making Spencer’s heart melt and her body warm all over.

“Well you two have a wonderful night. You both look perfect.” Marco put on his serious face and whispered to Ashley. “You better be good to her. She is the most caring girl in this world and she has her heart in your hands so don’t hurt her.”

“Don’t worry. Her heart is safe with me.” Ashley whispered back giving Marco a hug and kiss on the cheek.

“Ready?” Ashley and Spencer asked at the same time. They laughed and headed towards the door with their arms linked together.
