Chapter 10: It's perfect. You're perfect.

A/N Sorry it's been so long. I have no excuse, just been lazy! Hope this long chapter makes up for my laziness :) Oh and something I didn't tell you all beginning, but I'm going to tell you now, Spencer is a senior in college, age 22. Toby, age 23, has a job with a good construction company. Now on with the story!

I slowly came up behind her and stuck my hands in her front pockets. She giggled and loosely slung her arms around my neck, behind her. We just stood there for a while, enjoying the view, the weather but mostly each other's presence.

"Let's just stay here forever and ever." Spencer begged. I sighed in contentment and pressed my lips against the back of her head.

Spencer's POV

It was so nice, just standing here with Toby in this gorgeous location. After a while, a light breeze picked up and I shivered. Toby must have felt my shiver, cause he took his hands out of my front pockets and took off his jacket, wrapping it around me tightly.

"Thanks." I whispered.

"Mhm, anything for my baby." He cooed into my ear. I giggled and leaned against him. Then my stomach growled, very loudly in fact.

I blushed, embarrassed by the sound, but Toby just laughed and set his hands on my stomach, tickling gently. "Hungry babe?" he questioned. I smacked his hands away playfully and turned to face him.

"Very." I replied leaning up to kiss him. He closed his eyes and began to lean down to meet my lips when I titled my head down and he kissed my head instead.

"Tease." he muttered.

"That's for laughing at my hunger." I joked, sticking my tongue out. "Now let's go eat, before my stomach growls again! Where do you want to go for dinner?" I asked.

"I know the perfect place." he smiled, squeezing my butt and making me squeal.

"Now we're even," he whispered, wrapping his arm around my shoulder and leading me towards the restaurant.

After a few minutes of walking and small talk, we came up to a beautiful looking restaurant. It looked very fancy, but not very crowded. Just my style, Toby knows me too well. I looked up at the beautiful sign hanging above us. It said "Belleville" in gorgeous letters, covered in white lights. I don't know exactly how long I just stood there, staring in awe at the beauty of it all, but it must have been a while cause eventually Toby cleared his throat to get my attention.

"Ready babe?" He asked. I smiled and grabbed his hand as he led me inside.

We were seated very quickly to a quaint little table, with a cream tablecloth and a vase of red roses. It was absolutely beautiful. Toby watched my reaction with a smile on his face. "So you like it?" He asked.

"It's perfect. You're perfect." I told him. Toby smiled and reached across the table for my hand, I set my small hand in his and he squeezed lightly.

"Not as perfect as you." He reciprocated. "Spencer, I love you more than I ever thought I could love anyone. You are the one person that can make me smile no matter what. You are beautiful, smart, clever, funny and really cute when you are jealous. I can't imagine any other person I'd ever want to spend the rest of my life with. I want it to be you and me always. Forever." He got down on one knee, pulled out a velvet box and tears filled my eyes. "Spencer Hastings, will you marry me?"

That's all it took for the tears to flood out of my eyes. I vigorously nodded and Toby slipped the gorgeous ring onto my finger. He must have saved up forever to buy it! I stood up and pulled Toby up with me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and kissed him deeply, not caring who was watching. His arms encircled my waist, drawing me closer.

We pulled apart and he rested his forehead against mine. I breathed in his scent and smiled. "I love you, more than you can imagine." I whispered. We stood there for a little bit longer until we heard out waiter clear his throat behind us. We broke apart, blushing, took our seats and ordered.

After laughing, talking, eating, stealing bites of each other's food, holding hands and leaning across the table and kissing, we were ready to go.

Toby's POV

I paid the check and we headed out the door. Once we got outside, I grabbed Spencer's wrist and turned her into me, so she was flush against my chest. "Thank you for making me to happiest man alive." I whispered into her ear, nibbling gently. Spencer giggled and grabbed my face, smashing her lips against mine. We pulled away and she yawned, very cutely. "Let's get you home cutie." I murmured against her ear.

"Stay with me tonight? You can stay over and drive me to school tomorrow, then go to work? Please, I want to be with my fiancée tonight." She begged, her eyes wide. I had to give in.

"Okay babe, but we have to stop by my place so I can get a few things." I told her. She nodded and yawned again. I gently picked her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist, resting her head against my shoulder. I carried her back to the car and set her into the passenger's seat.

Once we arrived at my house, Spencer was pretty much asleep. "Spence, I'll be right back okay?" She mumbled something, so I took that as her understanding what I said. I got out and locked the doors of the car.

I grabbed a duffle bag and threw in some pajamas, clothes for work tomorrow, my toothbrush and a few other necessities. As I was heading down the stairs I heard a scream and a shatter from outside. It sounded like Spencer's scream. I freaked out and bolted outside. I saw a person reaching through the shattered window and unlock the door. The person began to reach for a crying Spencer.

"HEY!" I screamed at the person, as I ran down the stairs. The person saw me and scurried away. I ran directly for the car and quickly picked up Spencer, cradling her against my chest. "Shh. Baby, I'm here. I'm so sorry I left you alone. It will never happen again." I attempted to comfort her. Spencer was sobbing hard, trying hard to catch her breath. She was shivering from fear burying her head deeply into my shirt, soaking it with her constant flow of tears. But I didn't care; all I cared about was that she was safe, in my arms.

"I-I was so scared-d." She tried to say

"Shh. Breathe, Spence. You can tell me what happened later, just breathe right now." I told her calmly.

I stood there, with Spencer in my arms as she took deep breaths, regaining her composure. "I was sleeping and then next thing I knew, someone was knocking on the window. He must have seen my ring and was yelling at me to open the door. I started screaming, trying to get someone to hear me. Then he picked up a rock and through it at the window, shattering it. He reached in and unlocked the door. I don't know what he was going to do to me. Toby I was so scared. What if I didn't ever see you again?" She started to tear up again, reliving the experience.

"Hey, you're okay. I got you, and I'm never letting you go sweetheart." I reminded her.

"Thank you for saving me," she said.

"I would never forgive myself if anything happened to you." I told her.

"Okay, let's not let this ruin our night. Nothing too serious actually happened to me and I just want to enjoy this night with you." She said quietly. I nodded even though I was unsure, but set her gently in the truck anyway. I picked away at the loose shards of glass, throwing them on the ground, so they wouldn't hit her then I jogged around the other side.

She wrapped my jacket tightly around her as the cool night air came through the shattered window.

When we arrived at the Hastings house, I got out of the truck and went around to Spencer's side. I picked her up and carried her towards the house.

"You know I can walk, right? Cause today you're sure acting like I can't." she teased.

I laughed and spun her around, holding her tightly against me. We walked through the door to see Melissa and Wren, sitting at the table eating dinner. Melissa saw Spencer's disheveled state and stood up from her seat.

"Spencer! What happened?" Melissa asked concerned.

"N-nothing. I'm fine, don't worry." Spencer said, not very reassuringly though. Melissa didn't look convinced, but didn't press Spencer on the issue. Then her eyes fell on Spencer's ring.

"OHMYGOD! What is that huge rock on your left finger!" Melissa squealed. Of course once Wren heard this, he hopped up from his seat.

"Toby and I are engaged!" Spencer exclaimed, holding her hand out so Melissa could envy her gorgeous ring.

"YOU'RE WHAT!" Wren screamed, throwing us all off guard. We all froze, shocked, until the realization of what was going on hit Melissa like a ton of bricks.

"Why do you even care? Huh Wren?" Melissa asked, furiously.

"Well um I-" Melissa quickly cut him off.

"Shut up Wren. I see exactly what's going on here. Using me to get to my little sister, who is clearly with someone else and in love? YOU ARE DISGUSTING! GET OUT OF OUR HOUSE RIGHT NOW!" Melissa screamed, infuriated.

And even after Melissa's big speech, Wren dared to walk up to Spencer as say to her, "I will never stop fighting for you."

"That's it!" I yelled, walking straight up to Wren and punching him square in the jaw. "Now get the hell out!"

Wren scurried off holding his jaw in pain. Melissa had had enough embarrassment for the night and ran up to her room, slamming the door.

"Okay, enough has happened in one night then I'm use to happening in a year. I'm so tired, sleep?" Spencer asked.

"Definitely." I agreed.

Later that night as we lay in bed, entangled together under the sheets, with Spencer's head resting on my chest, I realized how truly lucky I was to have her in my life. And she was mine, for the rest of my life. The ring on her finger, claimed her as mine. And I wouldn't have it any other way.
