All American Senior Year: Volume One

A Movie Under The Stars (It's a Date Series: Part One)

It was ten minutes till six in the evening when Spencer was finishing getting ready for his date with Olivia. Standing in front of his bathroom mirror he lint rolled his shirt and jeans. Spencer wore a beige corduroy jacket over a black long sleeve, and a pair of black jeans. Fixing his collar of his jacket a hint of a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He thought back to the visions he had seen gazing into Olivia's eyes last night. It seems as if the memories had permanently been engraved in his mind.

He couldn't stop asking himself if Olivia had seen them too. They'd felt so real, it was as if they had just recently purchased their first home, and had been married for three years now. A grin splashed across his face, thinking back to holding Olivia in his arms. Even in the vision, he could feel the love in between them as It radiated through her heavenly smile. Looking down to the bathroom sink he thought back to the baby girl he held. Her giggle, her curls, her eyes, all reminded him of Olivia. Their daughter had been a replica of her mother. Shaking his head, he thought of the trouble, they would both give him. If she was anything like Olivia, he could see himself now, falling in love all over again.

A knock came from his front door when he quickly sprayed cologne on before making his way to the living room. "Coming," Spencer said. Slowly opening the door, he peeked through to see Olivia standing on the other side. Grinning from ear to ear she stood on the porch holding a bouquet of Lilies in her hand. Spencer met Olivia's gaze when a smile fell on his lips. Letting his eyes fall down to her shoes, before meeting her eyes once again.

"You look Beautiful, Liv" Spencer smiled. Olivia wore a cheetah print long sleeve button-up, paired with baby blue jeans. Pulling her in for a hug, Olivia smiled breathing in his sweet cologne. "You don't look bad yourself" Olivia smiled. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she shrugged. "I mean I can't complain, seeing you this morning, wasn't a bad look either".  I wouldn't mind a sweaty Spencer every once in a while". Letting out a laugh, he shook his head.

"Trust me, Liv, that ain't going to last for long" Spencer said.  He looked down at the flowers Olivia held in her hand, when he grinned. "You ain't gotta do all of that, Liv". Trying to grab the flowers from Olivia, she pulled her hand back. "Oh, that's cute you thought they were for you. There for your mom". "When I stopped by the store earlier today, I saw these and it reminded me of that time your mom told me her favorite flowers".

"Lilies," they both said at the same time. When their eyes met, for a brief moment, Spencer could see the flashes of memories gently cross his mind. This time they weren't as vivid, as last night. This time they were transparent, vanishing within seconds. Clearing his throat, he turned back looking into his house, cutting off their gaze. "Want to come inside?" Spencer asked. "I would love too,". They both walked inside when Spencer made his way to the kitchen to find a vase. She placed the flowers on the table, walking over to the entryway, she looked at the picture frame that sat on the console. One of the pictures had caught her eye. Olivia smiled warmly at a picture of Grace, Spencer, and Dillon. Rubbing her thumb along the picture, Olivia gently sighed.

"Didn't I take this picture? At the farmers market on 3rd street?". Remembering back to that exact day, Olivia smiled. "Definitely a top favorite of mine from summer. Just being able to spend the day with Dillon, your mom, and you, while listening to some great music, was the best. We have to find time to go back. This time around we just have to make sure to control Dillon and his love for sweets. Do you remember how badly he crashed after all that cotton candy he ate?" Olivia asked. "Don't forget the three snowcones. I had to carry him back to the car. That boy ain't that small kid anymore. He's almost as tall as me" Spencer smiled.

Walking up behind her he wrapped his arms around Olivia embracing her. "You did take that picture. My mom is going to appreciate the lilies by the way. This is a first. I never had a girl bring my mom flowers. If you're trying to get brownie points, it's working" Spencer kissed her cheek. Olivia let out a laugh. "Spence, it's not that deep. Just saw the flowers and thought of your mom, that's all. Besides your mom already loves me, so I don't think I need any brownie points," Olivia said holding onto his arms. "That she does" Spencer smiled. "What do you say, are you ready to go on a date with me, Spencer James?" Olivia asked turning around to face him.
