Secrets shouldn't be held

Hand in hand, on the edge of the sand, they danced by the light of the moon.
Edward Lear

Alexandra holds onto Penny as they make their way through the crowd to their table. "Okay, so Lex and I found JJ and Emily, we are going to go and dance together," Penny says, holding onto Alexandra tightly. "We will be back later, love you." She says, pulling Alexandra away. Alexandra smiles at Spencer, waving a little before turning around and letting Penelope drag her off to dance.

"We should join them, huh, pretty boy."

"I don't dance, Derek." Spencer replies, holding himself. Derek grabs his jacket and drags him to the dance floor with the girls. Spencer watches them all dance. Emily twirls Alexandra around, laughing when they both trip, catching each other. Derek comes up behind them.

"Pretty boy doesn't dance, but he does get jealous easily." Derek whispers in Alexandra's ear. Alexandra looks at him, raising an eyebrow at him. "I want to see that happen."

"Me too, please!" Emily says. Alexandra rolled her eyes.

"Fine."

"Come here pretty girl, dance with me." Derek says, pulling Alexandra close, dancing up against her. He twirls her around gently, pulling her back against his chest. Spencer clenches his jaw, looking at Alexandra, watching them dance.

Alexandra and Spencer sit together in the booth, Spencer's hand on her thigh slightly tighter then he would usually. Derek looks between them, smirking behind his glass.

"What the hell was that with Derek?" Spencer asked, closing the door. Alexandra looks at him.

"It was nothing." She says, kissing his cheek gently. Spencer grabs her hand, pushing her back against the door, holding her jaw, licking his lips. Alexandra leans her head back. Spencer kisses her neck gently, biting down every now and then, marking her collarbone up to her lips, kissing her hard.

"Like hell it was nothing." Spencer says, biting her bottom lip. Alexandra gasps.

"It was nothing Spence-I promi-Jesus." She gasps as he bites her throat. Spencer picks her up, carrying her to their bedroom. He slowly puts her down, pulling her clothes off gently. "If I had of known that getting you je-"

"Shush." He says, pulling her nipple ring. Alexandra gasps, holding the sheets, leaning back a little. "That shit you pulled, I could kill Derek." Spencer mumbles, biting down her chest, leaving marks. Alexandra gasps, lifting her hips as he licks up her. "Shush." He says, smacking her hip. Alexandra gasps, sitting up gently, holding his hair tightly.

"Spence-just get up here." She whispers.

———

"'Oh Spence-yes Spence! Like that.'" Derek says, laughing.

"You walked in once." Alexandra says, hitting the back of his head. Derek laughs, looking at them.

"Oh what about, 'tight-so tight'." Alexandra punches Derek's arm. "Ouch." He says, looking at her. Penny walked in.

"That was my fault! I let you in, Derek." Penny says.

"You listened too." Derek says. Alexandra blushes, leaning against her desk gently, looking at Spencer who was bright red.

"I wasn't like that! I don't say that in bed."

"Sometimes you do, my love." She says, kissing Spencer's cheek.

"I don't."

Alexandra sits on the bench as Spencer cleans up their plates. Spencer hums, listening to the documentary they were watching. "You look like an elf like that."

"Mmh, do I now?" She asked gently tucking a fallen hair behind her ear.

"Yes, and we better put our Christmas tree up before our parents meet." Alexandra smiles.

"I can't believe Diana is coming by train with one of her nurses who has family here." Alexandra says, getting down. "The tree is in the corner of the library if you want to put it up tonight and decorate tomorrow?" Spencer smiles, pecking her lips. Alexandra smiles.

Spencer wraps her in tinsel gently, kissing her head softly. Alexandra tries to unwrap herself from it, smiling when Spencer pulls her back in for a kiss. He keeps it slow as he unwraps her from the decoration. Alexandra pulls back, smiling. "I love you so much." She says, hearing Minx meow loudly. Spencer laughs, picking Minx up. Alexandra smiles. "I thought you were outside." She says, petting her cat gently. Spencer smiles as Minx climbs up his shoulder.

"Are you going to help us decorate, Minxy?" Spencer asked softly. Alexandra smiles, grabbing her coffee and taking a sip gently, looking at Spencer and Minx. Spencer was trying to get the little cat off of his shoulder and failing. Alexandra laughs at them, gently grabbing Minx and putting him on the floor. Alexandra pulls her hair up into a ponytail, turning to him gently. Spencer takes her hands, slowly dancing with her, twirling her around and bringing her close. Alexandra wraps her arms around his neck, letting him lead. "Don't ever leave." He whispers softly into her ear.

"I won't. I promise." She whispers.
