Chapter 4

(Spencer)

Spencer awoke to find herself wrapped up in Toby's bed sheets. She was dressed in the baby blue, long sleeve shirt with an anchor on it. She recognized it as the shirt she'd worn the night before. Blinking her eyes a few times, she sat up in the big bed. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw something on the floor. Peering over the side of the bed, she was greeted by a fully clothed Toby who lied motionless. Only his stomach moved up and down with each steady breath he took. Spencer chuckled at the sight. Why is he on the floor? He has a pull out couch in the living room. Or, I wouldn't have minded if he slept in the bed with me. It's not that big of a deal, he's my best friend.

Spencer tip toed around a sleeping Toby as quiet as a mouse and made her way to the kitchen. It was her turn to thank him for all he's done for her. She wanted to surprise him… and impress him just a little bit. She grabbed some ingredients from the fridge and began.

(Toby)

Toby's eyes opened wide and he felt his back crack in relief as he moved out of his position from the floor. An immediate flashback of last night's events entered his mind. How could that British bastard touch my Spencer? Well, she's not mine… yet. I just want to protect her. I want her to know that she can always count on me. As Toby stood up from the hard wood floor, he noticed that the bed was empty. Where is she? A confused look crossed his face until he heard movement in the kitchen. He changed out of his clothes from the party and dressed himself in a white undershirt and pair of dark jeans. Toby entered the kitchen and found Spencer cooking. She was moving swiftly around the kitchen and she had the blender, toaster, stove and oven all going at once.

"Need any help?" Toby offered.

Spencer looked over at Toby and smiled. "Um, you can watch the crepe batter."

"You made crepes?! I'm definitely going to like having you around. Hastings Hotel and Spa has a nice ring to it," he teased, walking over to the stove.

"Oh, yeah! You can go sit in the bathtub and I'll blow bubbles through a bendy straw. It's like your own personal jacuzzi!" Spencer shot back with a laugh.

"That sounds alright to me." He waited a minute before continuing, "Hey, are you okay?"

Spencer bit her lip, then turned around and rushed into Toby's arms. It took him by surprise, but after a moment, he held her in a tight lock.

"I'm okay. And I have you to thank for that," she said into the crook of his neck.

"I'm not a hero, Spence. I just care about you," Toby responded honestly. He wasn't superman, but he wished.

Spencer looked up at him, love and affection in her mocha eyes. She moved her hand to his cheek and swept her thumb across his chin. "You're my safe place to land," she said, looking deep into his dazzling eyes. She wanted him to know how much she felt for him.

Toby felt the right side of his face tingle at Spencer's touch. The words she spoke hit his heart. I don't deserve someone like her in my life. She has such a genuine and pure heart. This girl is something special and definitely out of my league. Toby desperately wanted to lean in and kiss her with so much passion and force, but he wasn't sure if she was ready for something like that. Instead, he smiled at her before pulling her back into his warm embrace.

Toby pushed them back a bit so her back was resting against the counter. Moving back a bit too far, Spencer hit a button on the blender. The contents of the strawberry banana smoothie she was about to make before Toby walked in flew all around the kitchen.

"Ahhh! TO-BYYY! Turn it off!" Spencer screamed over the sound of the loud machine. But, Toby had already picked her up and was using her as a human shield.

"Take her, not me!" he yelled at the blender while attempting to control his laughter, but failing.

Spencer was being sprayed with chunks of berries and juice. "Really, Toby? This is so not funny!" she screeched. Toby reached for the cord and ripped it from the wall outlet, after which Toby slipped and fell to the ground with Spencer landing on top of him with a thud.

"Oof!" was the sound she made as she landed on his rock hard abs. Most people would have found this situation awkward, but not Spencer and Toby. Both of them fell into a fit of laughter and Spencer rolled off of Toby, onto the tile next to him.

They turned their heads so they were facing each other. Toby was clean and free of smoothie, but Spencer had not been so lucky. Taking his index finger, he wiped a bit of strawberry banana smoothie off of her cute nose and tasted it.

"Mmm, that's good!" he said before going back for some more. Spencer batted his hand away, giggling.

Toby got up and then extended his hand to help up the giggling brunette. She looked at the burnt breakfast and shrugged.

"I guess the breakfast is ruined," she shrugged. That was something else Toby loved about her. She wasn't uptight. As much as Spencer loved to organize and plan everything, she was easy going and went with the flow. She tossed him a banana and got one for herself. The sat together at the table and ate their bananas while having a staring contest. Eventually, both ended up losing as they couldn't contain their laughter.

"What's on the agenda for today?" Spencer asked.

I have the perfect day planned. "I have a few ideas. But, you might want to clean up first. Or, you could just stay in that. It's a lovely look on you, darling!" Toby said in a girly voice, his hand on his hip in a sassy way. Spencer laughed and rolled her eyes, walking towards the bathroom.

(Spencer) 1:00 pm

"Toby, where are we?" Spencer asked curiously. Toby had pulled his car into a tiny parking lot, just the right size for his kind of vehicle, and opened Spencer's door for her.

"Only the best pizza place ever. I used to come here with my mom a lot when I was little," he said with a hint of sadness in his voice.

Spencer squeezed his hand and offered him a small smile, both of which he returned.

"Sir Cavanaugh, you must be my tour guide on this amazing Italian journey," she joked.

"Of course! I will only order you the best pizza they have," he replied.

They entered the dimly lit Italian restaurant. It was very tiny, with only 5 tables in the entire room. Toby led them to the table by the window where the light streamed in and made it look like they were almost glowing. Before either of them could say anything, the two metal doors leading to the kitchen flew open. A chubby lady in her 60s with a friendly face and rosy cheeks bustled into the room. She saw Toby and her eyes lit up even more.

"Tobias!" she screamed with a thick Italian accent. She ran over to the table and engulfed Toby in a big bear hug.

"Hey, Rosa!" he said and hugged her back.

Spencer smiled at the exchange. She could easily tell that Rosa meant a lot to Toby. Rosa pulled back and pinched Toby's cheeks.

"Look at you! You look so much like your mama," Rosa said with a huge grin taking up her face. She patted Toby's head and then noticed Spencer.

"Toby! Who is this pretty girl? You've never brought a girl with you before," she said and shot him a wink.

"Rosa, this is Spencer," he introduced her. He didn't want to add "my friend" or "my roommate" because he wasn't sure what to call her. If he said friend, he was afraid Spencer would get the idea that they couldn't be anything more. And he desperately wanted to be able to call her his girlfriend one day, hopefully soon.

"Hello," Spencer said kindly with a friendly smile on her face. Rosa brought Spencer in for a hug and Spencer hugged her back. This must be what a mother's hug feels like. Spencer had never really been hugged or kissed as a child. Her parents weren't the best at showing affection. Of course, she was given the occasional side hug or pat on the back, but never anything this comforting.

"We all hug in this family. Toby is the son I never had. Only daughters… such drama," Rosa said with a laugh. She looked over at Toby. "I'll bring you the usual. And what would your girlfriend like to drink?" Rosa asked.

Toby was about to correct Rosa, but Spencer had already begun to answer. "A coke would be great," she said. Rosa nodded and walked away to get their drinks and pizza.

"She's so sweet," Spencer said to Toby.

He smiled in return. "Yeah, she's like my second mom. I've known her all my life. She was my mom's best friend."

Rosa brought out the pizza and Spencer and Toby dug in. After the first bite, Spencer's eyes went wide.

"This is the best thing I've ever eaten!" she exclaimed.

"I'm glad you like it. But what about the amazing breakfast food I cooked for you?" he asked with a side smile.

Spencer thought for a moment. "Sorry, Tobes. Pizza always wins!"

He put a hand over his heart and feigned offense. "Ouch. That stings," he joked. Both of them laughed and continued to enjoy their pizza until none of it was left. They stayed for a while and talked with Rosa before getting up to leave.

"It was nice to meet you, Rosa," Spencer said, giving the older lady a hug.

"You too, sweetheart! Bring her back, Toby! I like her!" she said as she gave Spencer and Toby both a hug. When Spencer was out of an earshot, Rosa whispered into Toby's ear, "She's a keeper!"

Spencer and Toby arrived at the next destination. He really has this all planned out. They walked into a bowling alley and Spencer started to jump up and down.

"We get to bowl! This is going to be so fun! You're going down, Cavanaugh!" Spencer said rapidly, clearly excited.

Toby grabbed their shoes and just laughed. "Bring it on, Hastings!"

After about five hours of nonstop bowling, Spencer had won 5 out of 8 games.

"Whoop! Whoop!" Spencer shouted and did a little jig. Toby chuckled at her competiveness.

"Come on. We have one more stop," he said.

They drove down the road a bit to a bar. Spencer gave him a questioning look.

"Don't worry, we aren't here to drink," Toby reassured her. They got out of the car and walked inside. It was rustic and was set up kind of like a diner. Toby walked straight over to the bar and scribbled something down on a piece of paper.

"What are we doing?" Spencer asked suspiciously.

"I signed us up for karaoke!" Toby said enthusiastically.

"You did WHAT?" You've got to be kidding me. I don't sing in front of people. Spencer was a beautiful singer, but she really had never sang for anyone before.

Toby just grinned at her. "I know you can sing because I heard you in the shower this morning. And the best part is we're the only ones on the list!" He grabbed her hand and led her up to the stage, despite Spencer's protests.

Toby grabbed one of two mics. "Hello, everybody! I'm Toby and this is the lovely Spencer. We are going to entertain you for a while. Go easy on us, we're just here to have some fun."

The crowd clapped and Spencer blushed. All of the sudden, Journey's Don't Stop Believing blasted throughout the whole bar. Toby broke out into song…

Just a small town girl, livin' in a lonely world

She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Just a city boy, born and raised in south Detroit

He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Then Spencer took the lead, eventually letting loose.

A singer in a smokey room

A smell of wine and cheap perfume

For a smile they can share the night

It goes on and on and on and on

They both started to sing the rest of the song together. The bar crowd was cheering and they pair was having so much fun, they were half laughing and half screaming the song. Spencer ended up on top of a table and Toby was on his knees playing air guitar.

Don't stop believin'

Hold on to the feelin'

Streetlights people

Don't stop believin'

Hold on

Streetlight people

Don't stop believin'

The song finished and Spencer and Toby were having so much fun, they didn't stop. They sang I Love Rock 'n Roll, I Wanna Dance with Somebody, and Thriller. The entire bar was cheering them on and laughed along with Spencer and Toby as the duo messed up some of the words. They finally decided that it was time for them to head back to the loft.

(Spencer) Back at the loft…

"This was the best day of my life!" Spencer gushed. She meant what she said and it made Toby smile.

"You know, I never would've done karaoke if you hadn't been with me," he said.

The two plopped down on the couch and sighed, exhausted from the adventurous day they had.

"I would've never done karaoke... ever. But that was really fun. So was kicking you ass at bowling," she said teasingly.

"Yes, Spence. Which by the way, I want a rematch. But this time, we're going to play a board game…" Toby said.

"Bring it on," she challenged.

They sat in silence for a few minutes, enjoying each other's company. They couldn't keep their eyes off of each other. I really want to kiss him… Time to take a leap of faith.

Spencer leaned into Toby and he mirrored her action. Spencer could feel Toby's warm breath on her face and it felt comforting. She wanted this… she needed him.

Only centimeters apart and Toby's soft lips almost touching hers. Before, they could close the gap between them… there was a loud bang on the door.

"Knock, knock!" the female voice screamed.
