The Love Game
Previously:
She tried to protest, get Toby to change his mind but he refused to without an explanation. Even if he already knew the reason. Left with little choice, she had to agree.
"Can't wait"
Chapter 3
The two stared awkwardly across the table at each other. Conversation wasn't exactly flowing and Alex glaring at them every time he walked past, didn't help either.
Spencer thought, casting her mind back to earlier that morning; One of many of Alison's tips was 'open up to him', maybe she could give it a go.
"So, how's school going?" - It was a simple question but at least they both had common knowledge on the subject. Mind you 55% of the time, Toby didn't show up.
"Urmm, alright" He replied bluntly.
What else was he meant to say? He was pretty sure telling her about his average grade of a 'D' wouldn't impress her, nor that almost all the teacher population hated him.
She nodded as acknowledgement. Leaving the air around them silent for a moment, before Toby decided to carry on the conversation.
"What about for you?"
He was expecting a few words, not a paragraph, however than again this was Spencer Hastings, it wasn't exactly surprising.
"...Oh and Mr Lawrence set me another Russian history paper, Melissa got an A on hers therefore so do I. Which means I'll be spending my weekend researching Russian History." She concluded, not so happily.
"Isn't that not what you do every weekend anyway?" He mocked.
Her left eyebrow raised slightly and she grew a scowl- which Toby couldn't help but think was cute.
"And what's that suppose to mean?"
He paused for a minute. Causing annoyance wasn't exactly the best plan to gain her love but he couldn't help it... he had an urge inside him, it was just so entertaining.
"Well, you know how it is, you know how to work, I know how to have fun"
What a false accusation. Yeah she may actually put effort into her school work, yet she still had fun. Sometimes. Anyway his meaning of fun probably involved sleeping with girls, then breaking their hearts. Woo what a blast.
"Excuse me, I know how to have fun"
Toby let out a small laugh, before following it up with a chance for her to prove herself.
"C'mon then" He said, throwing some money down for the meal on the table. Then lightly grabbing a hold of her hand, guiding it in his direction.
"Where we even going?" She asked puzzled
"To have fun."
As he pulled her out of the restaurant, she looked back at Alex, with a sorry expression. Unfortunately, he responded by turning in the opposite direction. Well that relationship, no matter how short, was well and truly over.
The kissing rock. He had brought her to the kissing rock. Oh damn. She realized sooner or later they would have to have their first kiss however she didn't suspect it to be quite this soon.
As he leaned in, he could feel the palms of his hands clamming. This was crazy. Countless times, he had done this before, easily. Maybe it was the fact that this time he couldn't just blow the girl off. This time the kiss had to mean something. If she didn't feel anything from the kiss, how was she going to feel anything for him?
It didn't last long. Nothing too romantic or outrageous, just a simple kiss. Yet for the time it did last, they were both content for their breath to come and go together.
"Um, that was, er.." She began to speak, as the touch of his lips, left hers.
"Amazing, exceptional, flawless, skillfull, breath taking?" He finished off her sentence.
This time though she didn't roll her eyes at his arrogance. In fact she smiled slightly.
"Don't flatter yourself too much"
As she said so, she gave him a gentle push. Well at least she thought it was gentle. Evidently, perhaps not though. Suddenly his balance failed him and he toppled from the rock to the floor.
Spencer couldn't help but laugh as she witnessed. The best part was when he had attempted to grip the edge of the rock but continued to fall.
"Oh you think that's funny do you?"
She didn't need to answer, her laughter spoke for itself.
"I'll just have to get you back" He said, pulling himself back onto his feet.
Her laughter quickly halted as he slowly moved closer and closer.
"No Toby, no, stay away from me"
When he carried on to decrease the air, she abruptly got up and ran.
"You'll have to catch me then" she announced laughing once again.
She weaved in and out of the trees, trying her best to get away. Darkness had now taken over and all she had to guide her was her own memory.
Behind her, she heard the snapping of a twig. Adrenaline rushed through her body- he was catching up.
Toby ran steadily. He was nearby now, the only thing stopping him was all the darn trees. Two he had run into now. Two. Luckily, Spencer had missed that 'smooth' move.
Hidden behind a tree, he could hear the sound of a giggle. Sneakily, he crept behind her. Only breaths away, he extended his arms forward, wrapping them around her skinny waist. She screamed joyfully whilst he tackled her to the floor, in the most romantic way a tackle to be.
"Caught you" he whispered, leaning over her, letting his hands hold his body weight.
She smirked "Good"
Now less planned, she pushed her lips against his for the second time tonight. It was spare of the moment, yet actually worked. They worked.
Once again thankyou for all the faves/follows/reviews, means a lot. I like reading reviews and you're all so lovely. Please carry on ;-) So I was gonna describe the kiss in loads of detail, you know the whole 'sparks fly' but I just figured it isn't really realistic and I don't want to speed things up too fast, uh so I just went simple. Also I kind of struggled to end this chapter, I'm not sure if it sounds right but oh well. I will update in 2 days at the latest. x
