Chapter 7

Disaster Date


The double date wasn't a date at all for Toby or Spencer. It was for Toby and Spencer to see who could get under the others skin first. And they played the game hardcore. Toby would constantly put his hands all over Kate and Spencer in return would kiss Andrew every chance she got. Toby would suck on Kate's neck and Spencer would nibble on Andrews ear. The people in the restaurant must not have noticed the extreme PDA because they didn't say anything. Andrew and Kate didn't seem to mind either. The dinner seemed nice even though it was a little awkward for Spencer at some times. It was time to pay for the bill and Andrew dismissed himself from the table to pay while Kate went to the restroom.

Toby and Spencer sat in their booth not looking or talking to each other. A thought popped into Toby's head and he took out a pen. He scribbled a note on a napkin and folded it before he passed it Spencer. She was hesitant at first, but she opened it and read it.

Do You Want Me To Kiss You Again?

Spencer looked up and glared at Toby before responding to his message.

Can I Kick You Somewhere First?

She passed the note back to him and he smiled at it. She watched as he scribbled down something else and then passed it back to her.

Touché

For the first time in a while Spencer smiled at Toby. He loved that smile.

"Are you guys ready to go?" They were both snapped out of their gaze to see Andrew standing in front of the booth.

"Yeah, we are." Spencer took Andrews hand and stood up from the booth.

"Toby, you coming?" Toby looked away from Spencer and Andrew to see Kate standing next to him.

"Yeah, sure babe." Toby stood up and pulled Kate close to him.

The couples walked out of the Grill and to their respective cars. Toby stopped Spencer at her car before she could get in.

"Spence, what happened back at the restaurant does it-"

"It doesn't mean anything Toby. I love Andrew and he loves me. You just have to let me go and move on." Spencer said and Toby chuckled with disbelief.

"I guess if you're okay with me moving on I guess I'll just go spend the night at Kate's." Toby said angrily before he walked away from Spencer and got into Kate's car.

Spencer didn't know how to feel. She wanted to be angry at Toby for sleeping with Kate, but how could she if she's with someone else. She doesn't want to be involved with Toby and just wants to be friends again. She watched as Kate drove away with Toby in the car. After staring mindless for a few minutes at the end of the road, Spencer finally got in her car and headed home.


When she got home her mom still wasn't there and it looked like Melissa had left too. She walked upstairs to her room to see Melissa sitting in her red chair reading a magazine.

"Why are you in my room?" Spencer took off her jacket and hung it up in the closet.

"Do you remember the time that you got lost in the woods?" Melissa asked avoiding Spencer's question.

"Yes. Why?" Spencer asked still skeptical of why her sister was just sitting in her room.

"You and Toby would play out in the woods for hours when you guys were fourteen. One day you got lost and Toby stayed out all night just to find you. And when he did you were hysterically crying so bad that you couldn't muster up enough energy to walk. Toby carried you all the way home that night."

"Melissa, what are you getting at?"

"Nothing I'm just relishing in the past and just thinking about some things that are happening now."

"What were you thinking about?"

"I just wanted to know why are you kissing Toby and going on double dates with his girlfriend and your boyfriend?" Melissa asked with a small grin.

"I-I...I-what happened in here was a mistake. We just got caught up in the moment." Spencer said with a shrug leaned back against her pillows.

"So how was it?"

"I'm sorry, what?"

"How was the kiss with Toby?"

Spencer didn't know what to say. It was true, the kiss she shared with Toby made her feel things that she never felt before.

"Do I really have to answer that?" Spencer said in a groan and Melissa nodded her head. "Fine, I can't describe it."

"So it was indescribable?" Melissa asked to be sure and Spencer nodded her head." Was it a bad indescribable or a good indescribable?"

Spencer bit her lip and bowed her head down."' It felt amazing to kiss Toby that I don't have the right words describe it."

"Finally, the truth comes out!" Melissa exclaimed and Spencer laughed." So you have to tell me everything. I want details."

Spencer looked up at her sisters face with anticipation. She took a deep breath and began telling what happened ever since that day in Toby's bedroom. Melissa's facial expressions changed through out the whole retelling of the tale.

"Wow that's a lot to take in." Melissa said and got up to sit next to Spencer on her bed.

"Yeah, tell me about it. I've been dealing with this for days how do you think I feel?"

"I think you feel confused." Melissa simply and Spencer looked up into her sisters eyes. "You and Toby have been friends for a long time and it's only normal that one of you has developed feeling for the other. And then Andrew and Kate come in and things get complicated."

Spencer scoffed." Things aren't just complicated. Things are going straight to hell. I'm kissing Toby behind my boyfriends back. A boyfriend who's in love with me and he told me and I told him that I loved him too-"

"Whoa! Back up you didn't tell me you said I love you to each other."

"Yep and now I don't know what to do. I mean I think I love Andrew or I could possibly love him one day. With Toby it just seems too weird for there to be anything romantically serious about us."

"Spence, I know you want to do the right thing by both of these guys because they are both so great to you. I just think you shouldn't listen to your head, but listen to your heart." Melissa rubbed Spencer's back and she smiled at her older sister.

"I guess the Hastings brain can be a blessing and a curse." Spencer joked and her and Melissa laughed. "Melissa, why are you trying to give me advice."

"Because we're sisters and that's what I'm supposed to do." Melissa said and Spencer gave her the 'I'm not buying it' look. "Alright, I knew that Toby liked you when you guys were fifteen."

Spencer's eyes wide and waited for Melissa to continue.

"It was one night outside the barn when I was saying goodnight to Wren when I saw a kid walking around backyard. I watched as he climbed up to your window and he slipped so I ran up and caught him before he could fall. Only then I realized it was Toby. He begged me not to tell and I agreed if he could tell me why he was climbing up to your window to see you."

"What did he tell you?" Spencer asked intrigued to find out more.

"To make sure you were okay and if you needed anything." Melissa smirked at her sister then chuckled." That's how I knew that he liked you and maybe even loved you. No, fifteen year old in their right mind would climb up a side of a house in the dark, risking to break their own neck just to make sure someone was okay. Toby really cares about you and you can see it every time he looks at you."

"So you knew all this time that he's been coming up to room at night?"

"Did I know? Who do you think is the one who kept leaving the barns front lights on so that Toby could see better in the dark?" Melissa said and Spencer laughed.

"You really think that Toby's in love with me?" Spencer asked seriously and Melissa ran her fingers through Spencer's hair.

"I can see it in his eyes how much he loves you every time that he looks at you."

Melissa stood up and was about to exit Spencer's room.

"Wait, Melissa." Spencer called out causing Melissa to turn around in the doorway." What do you think I should do?"

"I can't make that decision for you Spence, you've got to make that one on your own. Just pick the guy who you love and I mean truly love. When you love someone you don't have to think about it you just...you just know." Melissa winked at Spencer before leaving the room and leaving Spencer with her thoughts.


Next door a similar conversation was going on in Toby's room.

"Do you guys think I'm stupid?" Toby asked his friends.

Toby had Kate drop him off at home because he said he was tried. The truth was that whenever he tried to make a move on Kate in the car he thought about Spencer. Toby called his friends, Caleb and Holden, to come over to him with his dilemma. Caleb and Holden were currently playing video games on Toby's t.v. in his room while Toby paced the room.

"No, I think you did the right thing. You've been crazy about her for years and when you tell her she still shut you down." Holden said not looking at Toby as he focused on the video game.

Caleb smack Holden upside the head.

"Ouch! What the hell was that for?" Holden asked as he rubbed the back of his head.

"For telling him what he did tonight was okay." Caleb said and then paused the game.

Caleb stood up and stopped Toby from pacing then sat him down on the bed.

"Dude, you need to calm down or else your going to burn a hole through your floor."

"I can't I totally screwed up with Spencer. At first I was trying to get her to see that she wanted me as much as I wanted her. I didn't keep my hands off Kate throughout the whole dinner and I even flirted with the waitress." Toby explained and place his head in his hands.

"Toby, that's not the way you get a girl to want you, in fact it's the complete opposite." Holden said and stood up next to Caleb,in front of Toby.

"Holden, is right." Caleb agreed and Toby groaned.

"Guys I know what I did was wrong, but she's done a lot worse to me. She pushes me away and has been pushing me away for years."

"Don't you have Kate?" Holden asked and Toby looked up at his friends.

"I don't love Kate. Me and Kate just fool around, but it's not love."

"So, what you're saying is that you're in love with Spencer?" Caleb asked

"I've loved Spencer for as long as I could remember, but now for some reason I just fell in love with her. I don't know maybe I've always been in love with her, but just didn't realize it until now."

"Are sure that you love her or do you just like the idea of loving her so that you and her could have the same relationship as you and Kate?" Holden asked and Toby glared at him." Alright, you're sure."

"What are you going to do man?"Caleb asked and Toby groaned again.

"I don't know. I don't even know if Spencer's talking to me after that show I put on tonight."

"Do you want my advice?" Holden asked.

"I'm afraid of what you might say, but go ahead a tell me anyways." Toby said and sat waiting for Holden to give his advice.

"I think you should ask her. Ask her straight up if she loves you. And if she says yes, then you fight for her. And if she says no, then let her go and find someone who's going to love you and only you. You deserve it Tobs, you deserve to be happy and be loved."

"Wow...that was really deep man." Caleb said and patted Holden on the back.

"Holden, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think you might be right." Toby stood up and high-fived Holden and Caleb." I'm gonna give it a shot, but I'm gonna give her some time to cool off so I'll ask her tomorrow."

"Thank god, now can go back to playing video games!" Holden begged and the guys raced for the controllers.

As they played the game, Toby's mind kept wondering back to Spencer and how she was doing. He got killed so many times that he lost count. He let Caleb and Holden play without him for the next round and he went to read his French 'Catcher in the Rye' book. His phone rang in his pocket.

"Toby, answer your phone. The noise is messing up my concentration." Caleb called out to him, but Toby didn't feel like talking on the phone so he let it ring until the person gave up. Then his phone started to buzz and Caleb threw a pillow at the back of his head."Alright, I'll get it."

He pulled out his phone to see he had a text message.

Could we meet up at the hill now?

-Spencer

Toby stared at the text for a minute pondering on what she wanted. Did she want to break his heart yet again. Or did she want to tell him that she felt the same way as he did. Toby gave it quite a bit of thought before he replied to her text.

I'll be there

-Toby
