I'm starting to think I lied when I said this would be a one shot. So far these are more like a series of one shots which have a common plot. I'm not sure if that makes any sense.

Anyway, if you like it (or if you don't) please review! Enjoy.

Characters: Spencer, Toby and Emily

"I'll ring you from Emily's okay?" Spencer called to her mom as she quickly dashed passed the kitchen and out the door.

"Spencer wha-?" she heard her mom ask, but she was cut off as Spencer hurriedly shut the door. She walked as quickly as she could to the street and the truck that was sitting waiting for her. She threw her bags into the back before opening the passenger door and swinging herself into the cab.

"Made it?" Toby asked. He was smiling. Taking one hand off the wheel he reached for her hand and gave it a squeeze. Spencer felt herself relaxing instantly in his presence. Cautiously she smiled back.

"So far so good."

Toby took his hand back and pulled out into the road. They drove in silence for a few moments. Spencer stared out the window, lost in her own thoughts and oblivious to the glances Toby kept throwing in hr direction.

Suddenly her thoughts were interrupted by the buzzing of her phone. As usual she flinched at the noise. Toby frowned when he saw but said nothing.

"Will that be Emily?" he asked.

"Probably," Spencer replied, fishing around in her bag for the phone.

Emily Fields said the caller ID.

"Hey Em," said Spencer, flipping open the phone.

"Did you get out of the house okay?" asked Emily through the line.

"Yeah, we're in the truck now. You still okay to cover for us?"

"Course. I've got the phone in my room so if your mom calls I can get to it first."

"Em. Thanks for this," Spencer said quietly, honestly grateful.

"It's nothing. You two just have a good break," Emily replied.

Just as Spencer hung up Toby pulled into the parking lot of the motel. It was the same motel they had stayed at that first night.

"Did you bring the Scrabble?" Spencer teased Toby as they got out of the truck and walked towards the room. The smile disappeared off her face and was replaced with shock as Toby pulled something from his bag.

"You didn't?" she laughed as he waved the scrabble set at her.

"It wouldn't be right to have forgotten it. Besides, didn't you request a rematch?" Toby replied, also laughing.

"Yeah well, you had an unfair advantage last time," Spencer huffed.

Toby laughed. "Oh? And what would that be?" He put his bags down as he put the key into the lock.

Spencer moved closer and gave his stomach a tap. "This," she said. Then she reached up and kissed him passionately on the lips. "And this," she breathed, pulling away.

Toby smiled warmly at her. "Well maybe you should show me your unfair advantage this time," he teased.

Laughing, the couple pushed through the door of the motel room and dumped their bags on the floor by the bed. Toby shrugged out of his jacket and threw it onto a chair.

"So. We have the whole night to ourselves. No parents. No homework..." he reached out and took Spencer's phone from her hand, switching it off. "No phones...What should we do first?"

Spencer watched him take her phone, her anxiety rising. What is she missed...something?

"Spence?" Toby asked worriedly. He was watching her closely. Her expression had changed the instant he took her phone and she was staring at it in his hand like it was a bomb about to go off.

Suddenly her eyes snapped up to meet his and she shook her head, smiling. "Nothing. Do you want a drink?"

A couple of hours later the two were sprawled on the bed, chocolate wrappers strewn around them and the scrabble board resting on the covers between them.

"That is not a word!" exclaimed Spencer indignantly.

"Have you memorised the dictionary too?" Toby teased. She gave him a murderous look.

"It's just not a word."

Toby leaned back casually. "I think you'll find that it is a word." He grabbed at a chocolate sitting on the bed. Spencer was quicker, snatching it out from underneath his hand.

"Hey!" he laughed. "That's mine!"

"No it isn't." She replied smugly, going to unwrap it.

Toby laughed and lunged for her but she was too quick. She sprung up and skipped to the other side of the room, waving the chocolate at him.

"Do you want it? Then come and get it."

Grinning he jumped up and snatched at her, only managing to catch the edge of her shirt as she spun away laughing.

"You'll have to do better than that," she chided.

Toby lunged forward again. Instinctively Spencer jumped backwards out of his reach, colliding slightly with the wall. She winced, dropping the chocolate on the ground. Instantly Toby stopped laughing and rushed forward.

"Are you alright?" he asked, a frown creasing his brow.

Spencer rubbed a hand against her ribs. Flicking her hair out of her eyes she looked up at him, forcing a smile. "Yeah, fine," she replied.

Toby reached out a hand to her side but Spencer moved just out of his reach.

"I think you won the chocolate though," she smiled at him.

"Spence? Wha-?" he began worriedly, but Spencer cut him off.

"I'm going to go get changed," she said abruptly, pushing past him. She grabbed her bag from the floor and headed towards the bathroom.

Frowning, Toby bent down to pick up the chocolate and tossed it towards the bin.

Well into the night the two of them lay on the bed, hands clasped between them.

"Toby? Are you awake?" Spencer whispered.

"Course," he mumbled.

She raised herself up on an elbow and looked at him. He turned onto his side and gazed back at her, playing with a lock of her hair that had fallen over her shoulder.

"Do you remember the first time we stayed here?" she asked him seriously.

"Uh huh," he replied, smiling at the memory.

Spencer blushed slightly and glanced down. "Well, I never told you. But, when I woke up in the morning, I was hugging you."

"Oh?" He was smiling even more now.

"Yeah. My arm was around you. I was too embarrassed to tell you before. I mean we hardly knew each other then."

"Was it like this?" he asked, shifting closer and wrapping an arm over her waist. His breath fluttered on her neck as he leaned in and kissed it.

"Not quite," she breathed, mesmerised by his eyes which were only inches away. Shutting her own eyes she closed the gap between their lips.

Everywhere his hands touched liquid fire ran under her skin.

After what simultaneously felt like two years and two seconds, Toby pulled back, smiling lovingly at her. Spencer giggled breathlessly and tucked herself under his chin, feeling his arms wrap around her as she lent her head against his warm chest.

"I've got a secret too," Toby whispered after a few minutes silence.

"Mmm?" Spencer questioned, not moving from her spot. She felt Toby place a kiss on the top of her head.

"I was awake the entire time," he whispered in her ear, a smile in his voice.
