The Love Game
Previously:
"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.
Chapter 4
Pushing her way through the corridors that morning, Spencer couldn't help but smile. Last night after they'd kissed, Toby had kindly walked her home. Upon reaching her garden they embraced in a hug before she thanked him, telling him she'd had fun. Honestly, that was the truth. She did have fun. More fun than she'd had in a long time. That scared her. A lot.
"TELL ME EVERYTHING!"
Taking her mind out of her thoughts, she looked up to see an excited blonde approaching her. Hanna had joined her and was eager in learning every detail of last night.
"...and then we kissed, again" She finished
Hanna's eyes lit up. Boys and clothes were two of her only interests and even hearing about them, gave her a lasting buzz.
"No freaking way! How was it?" Her voice practically screaming now.
"It was, I dunno, different. It, it just felt real"
A snort behind them, suddenly interrupted the cosy conversation. Turning around, the girls saw Alison. She stood their with her usual smirk however looked to be more frustrated than happy.
"Real?" She laughed again, as she walked nearer accompanying the girls. "It's anything but real"
With none of the them replying, she carried on, in her mocking tone.
"Spencer, it's a game. It's all lies, nothings real about it. Everything he does is a lie, everything he says is a lie. I had confidence in your victory before but now you're worrying me. You do realize the whole thing is pretend. Right?"
Slowly, Spencer nodded in agreement. Alison was right. It was all fake, fictional. His mind tricks had been messing with her head and she'd almost forgot the sole purpose of why they were doing this. Well not anymore. She was determined once again, determined to win. She could and would do this!
'Where are you? I miss you xx -Spencer'
Missing school, was a regular occurrence for Toby. What wasn't a regular occurrence was for someone to notice his absence. Sure it was just pretend but even someone pretending to care for him was better than nothing.
He had finally got home last night at 12:00. Sneaking into the house, he crept upstairs to his bedroom, careful to not wake anyone up. Of course if he had been aware of what was on the other side of his door, he might not of returned home at all.
"I've been waiting for you"
Jenna had made herself comfortable led on his bed, wearing nothing but a bit of black lace. Even thinking about it now caused him so shiver. The sickening touch of her hands, wrapped around his torso, was a memory that haunted him often.
He gulped down another pint of beer, in attempt to block it out. It was a small pub just on the outskirts of Rosewood; often he would find himself surrounded by middle aged men yelling and drinking away their money. The place had now become somewhat comforting to him though.
No one from school knew about this place. He could stay here until it emptied and just a few days ago that's exactly what he would've done. Now though, he had another way to escape reality. Spencer. With Spencer, he was a different. He got to play the character of the loving boyfriend. No hate, no problems, no step sister. It was a life, he wish he could always stay in.
'Outside school, 10 minutes. Be there.x -Toby'
I apologize for the extremely late update! Just been so busy! I'm also sorry about the short chapter but I didn't have time to write more and figured it'd be better to just do a short chapter than make you wait longer. I shall try and do a long chapter next time. Updates may be more like once a week now. Thanks for reviews/likes/faves much appreciated x x x
