Chapter 1 Haven't I met you before?
"Why wouldn't I love him"? Spencer asked herself. It was the 3rd time this week she asked herself this same question. And every time she asked herself this question her chest would tighten with anxiety, her hands grew cold ; her heart raced frantic. A million thoughts flooded her mind. Memories of his amazing brown eyes, that would be beaming with such light every time they fell on her. Those same eyes that would tell her things that he couldn't form with words. His tender lips that would press against her skin so soft and delicate every night she slept to try and kiss any bad dreams away. Or those warm arms that would wrap themselves around her on a cold or rainy night to keep her warm and safe. "Safe", the word echoed in her thoughts.
"Yes I do love him", her voice broken and humble. "I do". More thoughts exploded into her mind at her answer. Spencer watched herself In the mirror, trying her best to silence the noise in her head. She had always been slim, with olive skin and dark brown wavy hair that easily fell past her shoulders. He adored her hair and slim figure. She imagine it was the way she felt in his arms. She forced her best smile she could manage and she repeated the words again. "I love you Wren". Her heart grew heavy, her stomach flipped and her throat closed up. "I wish I didn't but I do".
Dr. Wren Kingsly was young ,healthy, successful not to mention he had a charming accent and a killer smile. So when Dr. Kingsly had decided that he wanted Spencer Hastings at his side it was nothing out of the ordinary. Spencer Hastings was young beautiful, and quite clever with words herself. She had been one of the many medical students that had gotten a position to complete their residency. He had spotted her out of the crowd of newbies. She was arguing with a lead surgeon on the proper prosedures to perform an open Laparotomy, and right at that moment Wren Kingsly knew that Spencer was the girl for him. Spencer the wide eye, over caffeinated newbie didn't really stand a chance. Although she would like to think she had played hard to get in the beginning, she was like putty in his hands. One year and 2 parental approvals later Spencer and Wren had moved in together. Now 6 months of living together Spencer stood un-natually still starring at her reflection conflicted.
The ringing of her phone had temporarily silenced her terror and confusion. She didn't even need to look at the screen to know that it was him. She had set a special ringtone for him. She quickly answered the phone.
"Hi", she quickly spoke.
"Hello Darling, how is your morning going", he asked. Spencer could feel herself melt at the sound of his voice. She never really had a thing for accents yet alone british ones, but Wren's voice had a way of making anything sound good.
"Good, I was just thinking about you actually", Spencer replied. She could feel her cheeks turning red.
"Oh really? Was it something naughty"? He asked his tone turning mischievous. Spencer couldn't help but smile.
"No, never", she replied seriously.
"Good, we can save that for later", He responded. A short silence broke out over the phone, Spencer still staring at her self in the mirror. "Listen, I am able to get out of my shift early today, so do you want to do an early brunch"?
"Yes sure. What time would you like me to be there"?
"Uh how about at ten"?
"Ok will do".
"Love you bye".
"Love you", Spencer spoke. She placed the phone back down on the marble bathroom counter. She pulled on her Jacket and gave her hair one final brush. She removed the book the catcher and the Rye from her bag and placed it back on the book shelf in alphabetical order. Spencer could feel a small smile grow on her face. "Our day will come", she promised the book.
Spencer arrived a few minutes early, and quickly scooted over to the passenger side. It was an unspoken rule between Wren and Spencer. He would always be the main driver out of the two, plus it was his car. Spencer felt off about driving Wren in his own car. Soft lyrics filled the air in slow waves from the car radio. As Spencer tried to make a new list calculating the time it would take for her and Wren to have brunch. Lost deep in her thoughts Spencer didn't notice him walking up to the car. The first thing she noticed about him was the smell of sanitizer. That wasn't good the stronger the scent meant the bigger the mess he had to clean. Meaning probably a more terrible state the patient was in. He sat silently in the seat letting out a loud sigh, he starred ahead of him. Resting his hands gently on the starring wheel. Unsure what to do, she leaned close and gave him a small peck on his cheek. The moment her lips touched his cheek, a hunger in him was triggered. He quickly turned his lips to meet hers and pressed his lips against hers, slowly moving his lips to caress hers expertly. Spencer could feel herself loose control of her body as it reacted to Wren. Spencer in response started to suck on his bottom lip. Wren let the sensation fill his body. He moved his hands under her dress. Spencer cold feel her heart start to accelerate, partly because of what he was doing with his hands so expertly. But most of it was anxiety they were in a hospital parking lot, and could easily be seen by someone walking into or from the hospital. Spencer wanted to suggest taking this home, but she already knew he was far too invested to stop now. Spencer hand automatically shot up to the back of his head and grip the hair on the back of his head as her body trembled with wonderful sensations.
2 hours later.
Wren sat comfortably still at the small cafe table. His eyes focused in on Spencer observing her movements carefully. They had been waiting for their order. Spencer could not find a comfortable position to sit in this chair. She once again shifted but found no comfort. Hey eyes quickly darting from the fork to the spoon, to the center piece of the small cafe table then down to her lap. Where she once again shifted in her seat.
"What are you thinking"? Wren asked. His eyes calm, a small smile threatening to break out across his face at any moment.
"Going over the list for the party", Spencer replied. "These chairs feel different to you"? Spencer asked. Spencer finally made eye contact with him, her body froze. Her eyes feasted on the man sitting across from her. She was speechless. How had she gotten so lucky, he was just breathtakingly beautiful.
"No your not", Wren said flatly a smile breaking across his face. Spencer could feel her heart breaking. Oh how she loved him. Spencer smiled nervously and took Wren's hand in hers and squeezed gently. Her soft cold hands felt a burst of energy from the warmth of his.
"I'm just really nervous that's all it's the first dinner party I have ever hosted with everyone I don't want to embarrass you". Wren's eyes softened. He laid his other hand on top of hers and leaned forward.
"Spencer your amazing don't think like that. Its our friends Spencer not complete strangers just be yourself, and everyone will love you". A shy smile spread across Spencer's face. She could feel herself blush.
" I watched a boy die today". Wren let his eyes drop to the table. Spencer watched helpless as the smile faded off his face. His brown eyes fell to the table in front of her. He reminded her of a small broken boy. It was rare to see him like this. "I was so helpless, I couldn't do anything to soothe him or anything. He just". Wren held Spencer's hand tighter. "So I already had a shitty start to the day, so please I was not able to help this boy but you're my girlfriend. I can help you but you just need to let me. Tell me what were you thinking". His big brown eyes now desperate to get something right.
"I'm sorry, I'm just feeling a bit out of it today". Her heart was racing so fast, she knew soon it would start to show in her face. She had to calm herself.
"Spencer", he began to get frustrated.
Cling!
Crack.
"Watch out"! A voice boomed from the distance.
Snap!
Spencer woke up to find 2 familiar bright blue eyes staring down at her. "Wren", she called her voice hoarse. She tried to move away from the blue eyes but her body hadn't fully woken up yet. She had been moved outside on the pavement. The smell of cement thick in the air.
"Stay still Spencer", he said. His hands held her shoulders firmly in place. "You hit your head on the ground when I pushed you out of the way", he spoke. Her mind started to work and her first thoughts went to Wren. Where is Wren? Oh god where is Wren. Toby could see the worry enter her face.
"Where is Wren"? She asked Toby. Spencer looked around, some people were wrapped in blankets coughing, covered with Debris.
"What does she look like I could go find her"? Toby offered. Spencer pushed Toby's hands off her shoulders and sat up. The pavement wobbled beneath her feat for a moment but she was able to steady herself. She looked at Toby again fully looked at him. Spencer noted the light brown hair and shocking blue eyes that were focused intently on hers. She had definitely seen him before but she couldn't put a name to the face. Toby waited for Spencer to speak, but instead she starred at him as if searching for something. He looked around again before meeting her eyes again to find something different now. He couldn't put his finger on it but something was different.
"I got to you just in time before it was able to hit you, but I might have pushed you a little too hard, you fell and hit your head then the whole place collapsed", Toby explained.
"And thus the walls collapsed as though gravity had grown foul", Spencer said. She was now looking at what use to be Wren's favorite cafe. Wren! Her mind exploded how had she already managed to forget him while talking to blue eyes. "Wren"?
"Everyone got out ok, she might be over by the ambulance, they moved everyone over there". Toby said. She just quoted Vincent de la Petrova. Toby noted to himself. He thought better not to give her props for that now. Spencer once again started to wobble uncontrollably. Toby quickly held her arms to try and help steady her. Spencer barely took note of it. Her attention set on scanning the crowd for wren. Toby could feel the warmth of her soft skin against his hands. He had seen her in high school and could only dream of her actually talking to him now here he was, with her leaning on him for support. After a minute or two of scanning the crowds Spencer finally took note of what was happening and pulled herself off out of Toby grip, She stood shakily on her own two feet again.
"Wren isn't a girl", Spencer spoke finally correcting the stranger on Wren. She could feel her mind starting up again. With it the more frantic she became to find Wren. Spencer now frantically started to twist and turn and spin scanning all around her to try and locate Wren.
"Spencer stop moving so fast, you need to take things slow" Toby spoke. As he caught her just before she could fall from the dizzy spell. As it cleared he let go of her again. Her eyes were wide and locked with his, in alarm.
"I never told you my name", Spencer spoke she took a step away from him. It was on the tip of her tongue she could feel it.
"Spencer", Wren called. He came running past Toby and wrapped his arms around Spencer in a tight intimate embrace.
Wren hadn't noticed Toby at first he was just too relieved to see Spencer alive. The restaurant collapsed as if it was something out of a movie. He literally thought the world was ending.
"Wren I don't know what happened", Spencer started to babble but was silenced by a kiss from Wren. Toby stood awkwardly asking himself why he was still standing there. She hadn't even recognized him. He never thought about how much he had changed from high school. But it must not have been that big of a change, because once again he is standing awkwardly while she made out with another guy. Toby started to turn away Wren finally let go of Spencer and turned his attention to Toby.
"Hoy, cheers for saving my girlfriends life mate", Wren spoke. Recognizing Toby as the man who had pushed Spencer out of the way as the beam crushed the chair and table there were sitting at. Toby faked a smile, unsure he kept his eyes on Wren although he could feel Spencer's stare burning into him. She was trying to remember him.
"Your welcome but I would hardly call it that, just did what anyone would do" Toby responded.
"Why did my life need saving in the first place"? Spencer asked Wren.
"A beam holding the ceiling directly over you was the first of many to collapse, this man saw it first and moved you out the way. We got separated by the beam, I was going to climb over it to get to you when the entire place started to collapse a police officer dragged me out kicking and screaming", Wren explained. Spencer felt guilty for not being more polite to her mystery hero. "I wanted to come and find you earlier but the same police officer recognized that I was a doctor, I've been helping a few people who were hit".
Spencer could feel a subtle smile grow on her face, her guy in the midst of chaos still manages to help people. This is why she loved him, he was so selfless at times it amazed her. She placed her hand gently on his cheek. "Your amazing and I'm glad your safe". She turned her attention back to the mystery man that saved her life.
"I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier, but thank you". Toby shyly ran his hands through his hair.
"Your welcome". He smiled.
"What's your name? Wren asked Toby.
"Toby" he paused. "Toby Cavanaugh" Toby shifted his eyes back to Wren. He could feel his face getting a bit of color hoping Spencer didn't recognize the name. He gave her a quick glance and saw the light bulb come on. Spencer couldn't hold back a small gasp.
"Nice to meet you Toby I'm Dr. Wren Kingsly this is my girlfriend Dr. Spencer Hastings. We are having a dinner party tonight, at our place you are more than welcomed to join. It's the least we can do after saving her life". Toby looked over at Spencer again then back at Wren.
"I don't think that's a good idea", Toby replied awkwardly. He could see the confusion grow on Wren face, then he looked at Spencer. He grew even more confused when he saw an alarm look on her face. She was asking him to drop it.
"Nonsense mate, just swing by get some good food, good conversation. We both want you to come". AS he said this he wrapped his arm around Spencer's waist. Spencer forced a smile in agreeing with Wren.
