Chapter 9
The Plan
In the morning Spencer woke up at about 8:30 alone. She felt the side of the bed Toby was sleeping on, it was cold he had been gone a while. Spencer got up to retrieve her phone from the bathroom, so she could call him. Toby walked through the door carrying coffee as Spencer dialed his number.
"Hey" Spencer ended the call and walked back out into the bedroom "Where have you been?"
"I woke up early, but you were still sleeping, so I went to get the gas and I went for a coffee run." Toby passed her a cup of coffee.
"Thanks" Spencer took the cup from his grasp, they hands brushed slightly "Did you sleep good last night?"
Toby thought back to the night before, he fell asleep alone on the bed and when he woke up he and Spencer were intertwined. Toby let them stay like that for while not wanting the feeling of her being in his arms to be over.
"G-great." Toby nervously scratched the back of neck "We should get going everyone's waiting for us."
"Okay." Spencer set her coffee and then went into the bathroom to change. Toby couldn't help but notice her beautifully toned legs, it made the hairs stand up on the back of his neck.
Toby and Spencer finally got to the hotel about an hour later. Everyone was staying at the Rittenhouse Hotel. Emily, Aria, Hanna, Samara, and Spencer were all staying in one room. Jason and Caleb shared a room while Toby shared a room with Paige, but Toby knew Paige would be spending all her time in Emily's room, so he basically had a room to himself. Spencer and Toby parted ways in the lobby and headed to their rooms.
"Finally!You're here." Hanna exclaimed as Spencer walked into through the door. Hanna was sitting on the couch watching T.V., Aria was in the shower, Emily and Samara were talking in the kitchen they were in their own little world, and Paige was in the bedroom taking a nap.
"Well it's nice to know that I was missed." Spencer said while taking a seat next to Hanna.
"Not really. Aria said we couldn't go shopping until you got here." Hanna stood up pulling Spencer up with her "Come on get take shower and get dressed so we can go."
"But-"
"No, but's I've been waiting all morning , so lets get a move on." Hanna pushed Spencer inside the bathroom and closed the door.
"Hanna I was getting dressed!" Aria yelled.
"Sorry" Hanna yelled back as she took her seat back on the couch.
"Wow I can't believe Hanna Marin, didn't ask Spencer any questions about her night with Toby." Samara said as she came out of the kitchen when Emily went into the bedroom to change.
"Maybe I've grown up" Hanna said with a small smirk on her face.
"Yeah right, I know you and you've got something up your sleeve." Samara said
"I'm just going along with the plan." Hanna said. Samara raised an eyebrow at her mischievous friend wondering what plan was she talking about.
The girls went into the city to shop while guys went to a car show. The girls were currently in a clothing store looking for something to wear for the 4th of July.
"Oh my gosh, Aria!" Hanna exclaimed "Jason is going to love you in that dress." Aria had on a purple dress, that stop right above the knees and showed the appropriate amount of cleavage. Aria smiled and turned to the side to get a better view.
"You really think so?"
"I know so." Hanna said then turning her head to see what Spencer had tried on. Spencer had on a light-blue dress that stopped med thigh and just like Aria's it showed just enough cleavage. "Spence that dress looks great on you."
"Thanks Han" Spencer said "Emily, Samara, Paige. What do you guys think?"
"I think you look beautiful Spence." Samara said with a sincere smile.
"Yeah that dress is great for someone with legs like yours." Paige said. Spencer noticed that Emily hadn't said anything, in fact Emily wasn't even in the store anymore. "Where's Em?"
"She stepped out for a minute, but she'll be back." Hanna sent Samara a knowing look telling that the plan was soon about to be set in motion.
Emily sat outside of the little bistro on the corner waiting for Toby. Toby came running down the street almost getting hit by a car because he wasn't looking when he was crossing the street. He sat down across from his friend at their table.
"Your late." Emily said
"I know. I know." Toby said while trying to catch is breath "I got held up with Jason and Caleb at the car show.
"Boys and their cars." Emily playfully rolled her eyes at her friend. Toby chuckled.
"Did you get it?" Toby asked anxiously
"Yep I picked it up on my way here." Emily took a small black jewelry box out of her purse. Toby excitedly to the took it out of her grasp and opened the lid. Inside was a diamond necklace in the shape of an 'S'. Toby told Emily about his plan the morning he woke up spooning with Spencer and asked he she could help him out by helping him pick out something Spencer would love. Emily told Hanna about the plan, she told Caleb, Caleb told Jason, Jason told Aria, Aria told Paige, and Hanna told Samara earlier while everyone was getting ready in the other room. Hanna decided to help out as well by helping Spencer pick out a dress for the 4th of July, but it was really for her 'date' with Toby.
"She's going to love it Toby and everything else you have planned." Emily said while placing her hand on top of his on the table and gave him a warm smile.
"I hope, so because I love her." Toby was shocked by his own words. He always knew that he loved her just never said it out loud.
"We all know you do Toby." Emily said "Just don't break her heart because Hanna said she will break you." Toby laughed imagining Hanna trying try to break him in half. Hanna was small to him, but she was tough. Toby was aware that everyone knew about the plan they all started volunteering to help.
"I won't break her heart I never want lose her." Toby said looking into Emily's eyes.
"Good luck tomorrow Toby we're all rooting for you." Emily stood and left her friend at the bistro. Toby sat there examining the necklace and then a thought popped up in his head.
I won't break her heart, but what if she ends up breaking mine?
