A/N: I can't say it enough, thanks to my reviewers they are the reason I am motivated to write :)

omgpear: King Bob would make a great match maker, which I wanted to prove in my story, so I hope you like it :)

scorpiogrl576: I hope you like this chapter :)

Big Cliffy Meanie1: I think they would be shy about acting around each other that way and don't admit that they like holding hands and stuff. Enjoy the update :)

LucifersAngel.93: Thanks for the review and I hope you keep reading my story :)

Burton's Disney Princess: I think TJ would be so protective when it comes to Spinelli, because he really likes her. More adorableness is definitely about to come in this chapter and the next ones. Please enjoy this chapter :)


The next day went uneventfully... until it was time for recess. TJ and Spinelli waited for their friends, who were organizing a ball for playing kickball. Suddenly the Ashleys came over to them. They had heard from Randall that TJ and Spinelli were a couple now and noticed how different the two acted.

"Who would have thought that you would be the first girl to have a boyfriend." Ashley A stated.

"Yeah seeing how you dress." Ashley Q mocked.

"Even Detweiler deserves better than you." Ashley B added.

Spinelli didn't show it but the comments hurt, especially the last one. Even if she thought she hid her emotions well TJ noticed how she really felt.

"That's not true. There is nothing wrong with the way Spinelli looks and she is the perfect one to be my first girlfriend." TJ encircled his arm around Spinelli's waist to emphasize his point.

Spinelli looked dreamily at TJ. Had he really stood up for her?

"Fine be that way we won't stop you." Ashley A snapped and left with the rest of the Ashleys.

When they were out of sight TJ looked down at Spinelli, who were still in his arms.

"Don't believe what they said, you are beautiful Spin." TJ said before he could stop himself. It was true he really thought that way about her, but he didn't mean to say it out loud.

Spinelli gasped slightly at his sweet comment and looked in TJ's eyes to see if there was an uncertainty, but all she saw was sincerity and another emotion she couldn't put her finger on.

"TJ." She whispered.

TJ leaned closer to her, ready to show her just how beautiful she was in his eyes. Spinelli knew what he was about to do and closed her eyes in return awaiting his kiss.

'Is he really going to kiss me?' She thought, a light blush forming on her cheeks.

TJ saw her close her eyes and decided to go for it. When they were about to kiss they heard a scream.

"TJ, Spinelli we have a ball, let's play."

The sweet moment between TJ and Spinelli was shattered by Vince's scream and the two quickly stepped away from each other, blushing fiercely.

Following her friends to the kickball pitch Spinelli was still in a daze.

'Could that really have happened? Was TJ really about to kiss me before we were interrupted? Maybe we have a chance to be together for real after all.' She thought looking at TJ, who was walking next to her holding her hand.

Nothing unusual happened for the rest of the day and after school TJ and Spinelli walked home together. None of them knew what to say so they just talked about school and baseball, everything to avoid the theme of their almost-kiss.

When both were finally home they ate dinner with their families and went to bed.


A/N: What do you think of TJ defending Spinelli against the Ashleys? Sweet? Please review :)
