Author's Note: I've used some lines directly from PLL the TV Show, but obviously don't own any of it. I figured it would help paint a more accurate picture of the scenario, and clue you into what the dynamics of the respective characters were like.

As a side note, how insane was the Season 3(A) finale?! This fic is pretty much the result of me going crazy because of the suspense. Can't believe I have to wait till Jan before I get the full scoop on Toby!

Enjoy! Let me know what you all think :)

"Spencer... you're doing it again"

"Hm?" Spencer spun around, away from her laptop, and looked straight into those blue gorgeous eyes. She couldn't help but feel guilty. Here they were, alone at the Hastings, and Spencer was once again caught up in her world, not paying him any attention. Toby had always knew that Spencer was hard on herself; with school, her parents, her friends, but she had always confided in him. Lately however, he could feel her distance herself from him.

After A's threat to hurt Toby, Spencer didn't have any choice but to slowly push Toby away. She missed him so much and it was killing her on the inside not to tell Toby everything. But she had to finish this game first. Find A. Get rid of that bitch. Then Toby would be safe.

"I'm sorry." Spencer said as she frowned her brows "I know I've been a little bit distracted lately but I just have so much on my plate. I have this project due Monday and and…"

Grinning, Toby scooted over next to her so that his arm was around her and laughed softly,

"Ok ok. Relax miss perfect! I'll just sit here and watch you do your work." Toby smirked and whispered, "I'll be very quiet."

Toby inched closer to Spencer as she quickly focused back on her laptop, pressing his nose against her ear then down her neck, kissing her softly as he let that familiar clean scent of hers engulf him. There was just something about this girl that drove him insane.

Pushing his lips against her ears, his tone dropped to nothing more than a slight whisper, "Hmm… You have no idea how sexy it is when you bite your lower lip when you're all confused about something"

Spencer glanced up at him glaring, annoyed at his disruption.

"Hey there now! I, Spencer Hasting, do not get confused about anything. I happen to be the top of my class and am very skilled at whatever I put my mind to. I…"

Catching her mid-sentence, Toby cupped the back of her head and pushed her towards him forcing their lips to crash into a kiss. He slowly started to suck on her bottom lip, pulling her closer by her waist, longing for her touch.

"Hmm…Toby…I s-should…really…b-be studying."

Too lost in the moment, Spencer slipped her hand under his shirt, feeling the contours of his perfectly toned abdomen, and climbed onto his lap. Trailing her fingers down his neck and shoulders, Spencer deepened the kiss and pushed herself further into him, unconsciously grinding her pelvis against him. Toby groaned as he felt his pants tighten, his gestures growing bolder, as his hands moved further down her thighs, giving her a light squeeze

"S-spencer.. you can't do that and not…not expect me to w-wantt to…"

Spencer lowered her hands down Toby's body and started to fumble with the button on his jeans. If it was anything that got him undone, it was Spencer's cold fingers lingering around his waistband that made his imagination of what was to come run wild. She made her way down his chest, placing soft sultry kisses down his abdomen, before bringing her lips back up to his face, sucking his bottom lobe ever so slightly and slowly, eliciting a moan from Toby. Unable to contain himself any longer, Toby eagerly released his hands to help when all of sudden Spencer pushed him away,

"T-ttoby STOP!"

Waves of shock and disappointment washed across his face.

Toby folded his arms across his chest with a look of disbelief. He and Spencer had been the dating for months, and as much as he didn't want to, he had done his very best to respect Spencer's decision to wait. She was not making it easy. What the hell was up with the waves of hot and coldness coming from her? Defeated that Spencer wasn't letting up to what she was constantly stressed about, all the secrets she had been keeping and wasn't taking solace in him, his entire demeanor grew serious,

"Spence. Don't you trust me? I thought we felt the same way about each other."

Spencer's phone buzzed all of a sudden.

Oh Little Miss Perfect always such a tease… If only Toby knew the kind of things I would do to him - A

The air surrounding Spencer suddenly started to dissipate. She felt herself tense up as she grew wary of everything around her. Was someone watching? Spencer thought A had finally given her a break. She had after all, distanced herself from him the past few weeks as A demanded. She just didn't expect things to fall back into place so quickly. Spencer still felt guilty for what she put Toby through, but for the brief moments she spent with him, she thought it didn't matter anymore. She was in his arms once again. But things were always complicated. First there was that drunken kiss with Wren, then covering up for Jason… and of course A. How could she ever tell him everything?

"Toby… I love you.. I really want this! I do! There are just things that I can't tell you…"

"You want to give me a hard time that's one thing. I can wait Spencer" he sighed, his voice growing serious once again, "But stop lying! I know there's something going on. Ever since that night, you've been acting strange! As if there's someone still over you guys. Garrett's gone, Mona's gone and yet you still jump every time your phone rings! What the hell is going on Spence?"

Spencer's phone buzzed again, CeCe ringing this time. Spencer just couldn't handle everything. Things were going so well for the day and everything was crashing once again. Agitated Spencer rushed for the door, screaming

"FORGET IT OK? For everyone's sake just stay out of it!"

"Stay out of WHAT Spencer?! After everything's that happened, how can you just stand there and tell me there's something I'm not supposed to know about!?"

Sensing that Spencer was trying to avoid the topic, Toby ran forward and grabbed Spencer away from the door, his emotions heightened to a point of fury. Slamming the door behind him, he blocked her way out.

Toby glared straight into Spencer's eyes warning her, his voice strained,

"Before you go away and handle your stupid little secrets again, YOU are going to listen to me. I'm not going to ask you to explain anything because you won't.

"Tob- " Spencer said, tears starting to run down her face

Toby stopped her as he grabbed his jacket to leave, "I know it's complicated. You just say that I have to trust you. When are you ever going to trust ME? So I'll make it easy for you. I'll find out for myself."

Tears streamed down her face as Toby stormed off, leaving Spencer sobbing alone in her home. Curled up into a ball, Spencer now picked up her phone that had been buzzing non-stop,

"CeCe? What do you want?" and before she could stop herself she blurted out "I-I….I think Toby just b-broke up with me…"

Unbeknownst to Spencer, CeCe had her exactly where she wanted. Everything was going according to plan.

AHA! I always thought CeCe was such a suspicious character... and found it sooo weird that Spencer grew close to her.
