I should be working on A New Born With A Black Hoodie for multiple reasons 1) my last update was a long time ago, 2)I have more followers on that story, 3) Its supposed to be the story I focus on most, and 4)well idk what 4 is, but you get the point. I'm a little sick though, and I feel like ANBWABH requires more intelligence, and I should write it when I'm at my best. (besides I don't feel like writing it right now lol) Um, I'll try to get a chapter up by um…. Sunday. Don't kill me! Okay, okay.
Chapter Ten
Spencer watched as Hanna called up Rebecca, intuiting this 'Parent Trap' as Hanna called it, and of course her other friends all hopped on board with this lovely plan. Spencer, although still wasn't feeling the love Hanna was creating or trying to at least. It was all so cliché. The candles, the soft music in the background, the candlelight dinner, it was all too much. If they needed this much props to rekindle their so called 'love', did they really have it at all?
Maybe she was a little jealous, and worried that Toby would fall back in Rebecca's love. She hasn't talked to Toby once, in two weeks, and sure, if she answered one of his phone calls, she would have heard from him, but she couldn't answer him. She promised herself that she would never even touch Toby Cavanaugh again, and she slightly feared that just hearing the cadence of his smooth deep voice, that it would be enough to trigger her imagination to those steamy thoughts about Toby Cavanaugh and all his glory. "Spencer, you know, you could at least pretend to be optimistic about this." Hanna said to her friend, after hanging up the phone on Rebecca.
"Well, I don't want to be a liar." Spencer said. Hanna glared at her, and she knew she was in for it. "Look, I'm sorry, just, Rebecca actually seems happy with Noel. I mean… I guess they didn't even have sex, and usually that's all Noel's looking for in anything remotely to a female."
"Okay, ew. I rather not think of Noel's sex life," Hanna said with a disgusting look on her face.
"All I'm saying is it seems like Noel actually likes her, I mean why push her back into Toby's arms?"
"Spencer's sort of right." Aria chimed in. "I mean, whenever I tease Noel about Rebecca, he gets all embarrassed and blushes, and it's weird." Aria shuttered.
"See, they make a perfect couple!" Spencer exclaimed. "Becca does the exact same thing."
"Well, we all know Noel, and his past, so why should we trust him with the heart of our best friend?" Hanna asked.
"Yeah, Toby's a much better guy than Noel." Emily piped in, always the quiet one during arguments.
"I haven't told you guys something." Aria said after a pause, a guilty look on her face. All eyes were now on her. "Ezra said that during the middle of the night, on Thanksgiving, he heard someone leave, and he was sure it was sure he heard a woman's voice." Aria confessed.
Spencer wanted to bang her head against the wall, why can't Ezra keep his mouth shut. "Well, obviously it's going to be a woman, I mean Toby's not gay." Spencer offered lightly, killing the awkward silence. Her friends stood there staring at her, like making jokes about this situation was completely morbid. "Look, I mean, we are all thinking the same thing, they slept together. I mean why else would he sneak her out? Maybe he's moved on too." Spencer offered.
"I don't think he's moved on, I mean he isn't that type of guy." Emily said, knowing Toby the best. "Maybe, he's still upset, and he thinks this will help."
"Look, all I'm saying is everyone has their demons. Toby can't be one hundred percent perfect."
"Spencer I thought you hated when guys used girls for sex," Aria questioned, quite flustered.
"And I do!" She exclaimed, "But, sometimes girls want sex too, I mean, it's not a one person job."
"Well it can be." Hanna offered with a smirk. Emily and Aria glared at her, as Spencer smiled at the blond. "What? Come on, she was practically setting that one up for me."
Aria rolled her eyes, "Well, I guess so, but it still seems out of character for Toby to be having one night stands."
"Maybe, he's dating this girl, and he just doesn't want to opt to it because he doesn't want to hurt Rebecca. I mean Rebecca hasn't really told him either that she is dating Noel."
"Ugh, whatever." Hanna growled, stepping off the couch. "It's not our relationship, so who cares."
"Hanna, you just set this entire thing up, for their relationship." Spencer pointed out.
"Well, that was fun. This conversation isn't. I'm going to go get Rebecca, and Emily is going to get Toby, and the rest of you." She said shifting her eyes between Spencer and Aria, "Can go home, and do whatever your little heart's desire."
Spencer and Aria didn't go home, but out for dinner. Spencer was glad to be spending her night with Aria, at least she didn't have to think about Toby and Rebecca. They didn't talk about Toby and Rebecca all to much, and Spencer was happy about that. But, Aria did say something that got her thinking, "You were kind of defensive about Toby, are you guys like friends now?" Which Spencer just nonchalantly shrugged to, and mumbled "Kind of" but, there was much more going on in her head. She was being quite defensive of him, but why? Why did she even care?
She went home that night, alone, Aria asked if she wanted to come over and watch Home Alone with Mike, and possibly Noel, but Spencer refused. She wasn't really up for listening to Noel's constant crap, and she was too busy watching her phone to even pay attention to Home Alone. She wanted a call. From Hanna, from Rebecca, from Toby even, of what happened. She needed to know, as much as she wanted to just be able to fall asleep, and wake up to the news, she couldn't stop thinking about it. So, when her phone rang, she didn't even bother looking at the caller I.D, she was already exclaiming a "Hello"
"Hey," She heard Hanna say, a little sullenness in her voice.
"What's wrong?" Spencer asked.
"Nothing, just, you were right." Hanna sighed. "They didn't get back together, but I guess they're friends, and Rebecca told him about Noel and well yeah, they aren't getting back together." Spencer instantly smiled, and she couldn't speak because she knew Hanna would identify the happiness in her voice, and that would lead to questionable thoughts.
"Oh," Spencer said quickly, "Well sorry, you're plan backfired."
"No, you're not." Hanna laughed. "I can practically read your mind right now, and hear you say 'I told you so!'" She mocked with a giggle.
"Okay, well," She laughed.
"Anyways, Becca said she was going to hang out with Noel, and she wanted me to tell you not to wait up." Hanna said in disgust. "Whatever that means."
"Okay, well I was going to hit the hay anyways."
"Spencer it's like nine thirty, you are worse than my grandma." Hanna laughed.
"Goodnight Han."
"Sweet dreams."
But, Spencer didn't go to sleep, instead she dialed another number on her phone, and with three long rings, the person picked up. "Hey," Spencer said shyly, she had been ignoring his calls for the past two weeks, and she wasn't sure how he was going to react to her.
"Hello," He mumbled.
"So, I heard Hanna's little Parent Trap didn't quite work out. You okay?"
"Yeah, I mean, yeah." He mumbled. "I mean it's kind of weird that she's dating Noel now, but I'm okay—wait you knew about it?"
"Yeah, Kind of." She hummed lightly. "I mean I didn't do much to help, it was Hanna, Em, and Aria. I sort of discouraged the plan actually."
"Why'd you discourage it?"
"Um," She mumbled twisting the blanket in her free hand, "I don't know."
"Hmm," He moaned. "So, I haven't heard from you in awhile."
"Um, yeah, I just—" She sighed. "I figured it would be for the better,"
"You're probably right." He agreed.
"Especially since your little buddy Ezra, told his girlfriend how you were sneaking some mystery woman out of your apartment right after Thanksgiving." She told him.
"Wow, we really need to be more careful."
"Yeah, kind of." She teased. "I mean, it's not like it'll ever happen again." Spencer said pursing her lips.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course. I mean yeah, it was just a one night thing, or two, or um three." Toby sighed nervously with a chuckle.
"Yeah," Spencer agreed softly. "But, that doesn't mean we can't hangout."
"Yeah, yeah, defiantly."
"I'll call you?" Spencer asked.
"Yeah," He agreed, and she swore she heard him smiling through the phone. "Goodnight Spencer,"
"Goodnight Toby"
Um... and we all know what happens when these two 'hangout' ;)
Thanks for the reviews, love you all. :)) xx Caitlin
