Before either of them could say anything they were in a tender embrace. It would be impossible to tell who initiated the hug. It was mutual. They both needed the hug equally as much. At first, Spencer was very tense. All of her guards were up. Eventually, though she began to melt into Toby's arms. It was so familiar. Sadly she still couldn't stop the tears from falling down her face. These weren't tears of sadness anymore, though. Oddly enough these were tears of happiness. She felt content where she was. In the arms of the man she loved. She didn't want this moment to end. Neither did Toby. He wasn't crying like Spencer, however, he did feel just as much pain. He wanted this moment to last just as much as she did. However, eventually, all good things must come to an end.
There hug lasted longer than either of them had expected. Still, it wasn't long enough. Neither of them wanted it to end. However, after a while, Toby pulled out. He couldn't bare the sound of Spencer sobbing in his ear. He had to pull out so he could see her face. He didn't understand why she was still crying. If he could see her face he would be able to tell what was wrong. Or at least that's what he assumed.
"Spence, what's wrong"? Toby asked with a concerned look on his face. He was staring at her and I mean really staring. You could tell he was worried about her. But after his question, her guard's went back up.
"I'm fine Toby. It's just been an emotional few day". She didn't seem impressed by his question. She seemed quite irritated by it. She thought it had been obvious why she was crying. She didn't understand why he would ask such a stupid question. Before their conversation had even really started she had a chip on her shoulder. Toby could sense her irritation. He may not have understood why she was irritated. Still, he tried to be sympathetic. He decided to change the subject for now. "How have you been"? He asked as politely as he possibly could. He didn't want to set her off.
"Terrible", she chuckled. "How about you"? She asked with a hint of curiosity in her voice. She had been devastated for the past couple of days. She hadn't felt this depressed in years. She wondered if Toby had felt the same way.
"These last few days have been hard. Somehow I managed to get by though. I threw myself into my work. It was the only thing that could distract me from out current situation", he sighed. The last couple of days had been just as hard for him.
Spencer just stared at Toby. Longing filled her eye's. She had missed him over the past few days. She could tell her staring was making Toby uncomfortable, but she wasn't sure what else to do. She knew that eventually, they would have to talk about their relationship. However, she wasn't ready for that just yet. Suddenly an idea popped into her head. At first, she ignored it. It was a crazy idea that could result in serious consequences. However there was a possibility it may help their current situation, and right now she was desperate for help. She would try just about anything. Even a little bit of help would go a long way. She decided to go through with her idea. She continued to look into Toby's eyes. This time with a more seductive look. She slowly moved closer towards his lips. Then there lips meet. She pulled him in a passionate kiss.
What guys! Did Spencer really just kiss Toby. Not even I saw that happening. I wonder how Toby will feel about this kiss. You'll have to read the next chapter to find out. I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. The next chapter may be the most exciting one yet. I'm excited for you guys to read it. Also, don't forget to leave reviews I love reading them.
(Side note: I just read online that the average fanfic chapter is 1k - 5k words. Then I realized mine are way shorter than that. Personally, I like keeping them short. However, I would love to hear what you guys think. Should I start making the chapter's longer?)
