Chapter 8: A Secret Plan With A Side of Coffee

A week had passed since Toby and Happy's argument. Happy kept going to work as usual and it was easy to avoid the man who broke her heart because he was busy taking care of another women…and she had pushed him to her.

"Are you going to talk to him now?" Paige comes up to Happy as she works on a project.

Happy doesn't look up at her because she was becoming accustomed to Paige asking her the same question every other day "I'm not planning on it."

"But you guys left so many things unsaid," Paige tries to explain for the 100th time this week.

Happy is frustrated now and stands up, "I said everything I needed to. He seems to be fine spending his time with Kelly, so let's put this all to rest."

"You don't seem fine," Paige keeps pushing the subject.

Happy makes a fist with her free hand and takes in a sharp breath before saying, "I'm alive, so I'm fine."

Paige nods and says, "Okay, Happy," and then walks off and sits on the couch. She looks around the garage, Toby is still taking care of Kelly, Walter is busy with his rocket, and Sylvester is working on a problem on the board and none of them seem to notice the pain that Happy carries around all day. But Paige sees it and feels it, so it is up her to fix it.

About an hour from the garage is Toby and Kelly at a hotel because she can't go back home while her boyfriend is still roaming around. Toby is still taking care of her even though she would be okay by herself but he can't be at the garage so she is the perfect excuse.

"What are you thinking about?" Kelly asks as she rests her head on his shoulder.

Kelly has found Toby's presence comforting and is starting to realize how much she had missed him since they broke things off but Toby isn't feeling the same way and this confuses him.

He shifts uncomfortably, "Oh nothing just thinking about work. Haven't been there in awhile."

"Are you missing Happy?" she asks quietly, almost regretting it.

Toby wants to say no but he misses her so much that it hurts, he wants to be with her so badly but…it isn't possible anymore.

"It doesn't matter because it seems like that relationship has sailed," he sighs and stands up.

"So you guys aren't together anymore?" She asks with curiosity.

Toby looks down, "We were never together and I doubt it will ever happen."

Kelly tries to hold back a smile, she honestly liked Happy but she wanted Toby now more than ever, "Where are you going now?"

"To get some coffee and bagels," he puts on his hat "Do you want anything?"

She smiles, "Just a coffee, thank you Toby."

He nods and walks off to a nearby coffee shop.

Back in the garage Paige has spent some time trying to come up with the perfect plan to get Happy and Toby in the same room and she has come up with just that. Since she knows where Toby is staying maybe she can just "trick" Happy into going there, and BAM they are talking!

Satisfied with her plan she gets up from the couch and thinks, 'time to put this plan to action!'

"Hey Happy, may I ask you for a favor," she asks as she approaches Happy's workstation.

Happy looks up from her project, "Depends on what it is, keep talking."

"See Ralph stayed over at a friend's house last night and I want to take some lunch to him and his friend but I have to go to an appointment, is there anyway you can take it to him," Paige smiles at her.

Happy puts down her tools, "I need a break anyway. Give me the address and the lunch."

Paige becomes flustered 'crap, I forgot to make the lunch.'

Nervously Paige says, "Give me ten minutes I'll whip something up for them."

Happy sighs and goes back to her project, "Fine, call me when you are done."

Paige tries to hold in her excitement but can't help it, "Thank you soooo much Happy!"

"Calm down Dineen, it isn't a big deal," Happy says flatly.

Paige walks into the kitchen not even noticing Walter is there and does a little victory dance.

Walter sits there and admires her for a bit then coughs a bit and Paige stops and looks over at him.

"What are you up to?" Walter looks curiously at her.

Paige shrugs and opens the refrigerator door and innocently says, "Oh nothing."

Walter isn't convinced but has a feeling she is up to no good.

Toby sits in the coffee shop drinking a bit of his coffee and eating his bagel. He finds himself not wanting to go back to Kelly; he doesn't like how close she's gotten to him. He may have wanted this type of attention after they broke up but now he would only like this attention from his best friend and favorite mechanic. He has debated calling Happy because honestly, he hasn't stopped loving her and he doubts…no, he knows he never will. He sighs knowing he should go back and check on Kelly, he puts coffee in the drink carrier with Kelly's and grabs his bagels with his other hand and reminds himself that he needs to put some barriers between him and Kelly before she gets the wrong idea.

Happy parks her motorcycle outside of the address Paige gave her, she is a bit tired from the long ride but she needed to get out of the garage because she had been spending more time than usual there. She finds it odd that Ralph's friend lives in a hotel but according to Paige it is only temporary because his house is getting remodeled. She gets off her bike and walks across the street to the hotel with the lunches Paige made in her bag and takes the elevator to room 312.

She knocks on the door of 312 but no one answers, there's not even any noise and that is odd since this is a kids' sleepover.

She pulls out the lunches and is about to knock again when the door opens and she just about has a heart attack.

"Happy? What are you doing here?"

Kelly stands there with her arm in a sling and her bruises slowly healing and again she's in one of Toby's shirt.

Happy now realizes that Paige planned all this, so that Happy would have to talk to Toby.

She sighs loudly and decides to play it off, "Uhm, just came to drop off some lunch for you guys."

"Oh thank you," she smiles, "But Toby isn't here right now, he actually went to get us some food."

Happy hates that Kelly uses 'us' to describe her and Toby and it hurts so much. She decides to rush this process so that she can get out before Toby gets back.

She hands the bag over to Kelly, "Can you just tell Toby that Paige sent it for you guys."

She doesn't even wait for her to respond and starts walking off.

Kelly calls out, "Thank you!" but Happy refuses to look back, to see her all smiley in Toby's shirt.

She is hurt that Paige did this to her, she is completely humiliated by this experience.

She dials Paige as soon as she gets to the lobby of the hotel and of course it goes to voicemail!

"Paige, what a lovely trick you played on me," she opens the door out of the hotel not really paying attention to anything because she is fuming, "I hate you by the way!"

She walks out the door still yelling things into her phone and runs into someone in the process she feels scorching hot liquid fall all over her shirt.

"Oh crap! I'm so sorry," a man's voice says as he begins to dab her chest.

"Has anyone ever taught you about manners, don't touch me!"

She finally looks up and so does the man, her heart drops to her stomach as she meets a pair of a familiar and beautiful pair of hazel eyes.

"Happy! What are you doing here?" Toby says in surprise and continues to leave his hand on her chest.

"First, hands off perv!" she spats at him.

He can't hold back a chuckle, "Hey, I'm just trying to help."

She pushes his hand off her chest and snatches the napkin from him to keep drying herself, "Oh I'm sure that's it."

She continues on drying herself ands he notices him staring at her. Of course a basically white see-through tank top with a pink bra underneath, just had to be her choice of clothing today.

"You don't strike me as someone who wears a pink bra but it looks good," he smirks as he takes a sip of his coffee.

She grabs the coffee out off his hand and throws it as his shirt.

He yelps, "Geez Happy, that was not necessary. That coffee is so hot."

She smiles, "Now you know what I felt."

"Very funny," he pulls another napkin from a bag and tries to dry off his shirt.

As he looks down she can't help but stare at the muscles that are showing through his shirt and she gulps but looks away quickly before he notices, because he would not let her live that down. She can't help but admit that it so good to see him.

"Well, just to show you how sorry I am, I'm inviting you to get some coffee," he smiles up at her. He's hoping she'll say yes but most likely she will refuse.

Happy wants to say no but something in her just doesn't allow her to, she actually wants to spend time with him and she gives into the feeling.

"Well it's the least you can do, Curtis," she tosses the napkin into the closest trashcan.

Toby is surprised but he takes it before she has time to change her mind, "Come on the coffee shop is this way, it's only a few minutes away."

Happy puts her phone in her bag, reminding herself to be pissed off at Paige later and begins walking next to Toby.

Toby leans over and whispers closely to her ear, "I know you were checking me out, Quinn."

He backs away and smirks at her and she tries to shake the shivers he just sent through her body and looks up at him, "Oh shut-up! It was simply payback for you staring at me."

"Sure," he laughs and inside he is so excited to have at least this moment with Happy.

Back in room 312, Kelly is angrily looking out of her window at Happy and Toby smiling and laughing. She officially dislikes Happy Quinn.
