Chapter 9: We Are Going to Dance

"Here's your coffee," the young woman hands Toby two cups of coffee.

"Thank you," Toby grabs the cups and gives one to Happy and then walks to the door, "Come on I want to show you a place."

"Aren't we going to enjoy the coffee in the warmth?" Happy shivers in her leather jacket as they walk back outside.

"Come on, this way," he keeps walking ignoring Happy.

"But it's so cold outside and not to burst your bubble but those clouds look they are also ready to burst," Happy looks up at the sky.

Toby keeps walking ahead of her, "It doesn't rain in California."

"But thos-," Happy is about to continue but Toby stops and turns around to face her.

"Just trust me, will you?" Toby says with such sincerity that Happy feels herself melting as his eyes bury into hers.

Happy sighs and keeps walking.

"Here we are," Toby smiles and sits on the bench that is surrounded by a cute small garden.

Happy can't help but look around in awe, it looks really pretty even with the gloomy clouds.

"I found it one day when I came to get some groceries for Kelly and I," Toby says and pats the seat next to him.

Happy can't stand hearing him mention Kelly and feels the jealousy creeping up again but ignores it by sitting next to him. They sit quietly drinking their coffees and looking at a few people passing by. Happy begins to shiver as some wind starts up and Toby notices.

"Here," He starts taking off his jacket but Happy stops him.

"Don't Doc, I'm okay," Happy would really love his jacket but she feels uncomfortable taking it.

"Please stop being so stubborn for once," he sighs and takes off his jacket and wraps it around her.

She doesn't say anything and refuses to make eye contact with him even though his eyes are digging into the side of her face.

"Thank you, Toby," he mumbles as he takes another sip of his coffee and stops looking at her.

"Thank you, Toby," she looks up at him sincerely and he smiles down at her. They keep looking at each other and her heart is beating fast and her stomach is doing flips. She bites her lip and says, "I'm sorry for what happ-" Happy begins but is interrupted by someone who comes up to them.

"Hi," there's a little old lady standing in front of them and hands Toby a rose and looks over at Happy, "For your beautiful girl."

Happy can feel her cheeks burning up and Toby pulls out his wallet, "How much ma'am?"

The woman pats his hand, "Oh it is a gift for you sweetie, you both reminded me of my husband and I when we were young," she smiles and her eyes become watery, "I know love when I see it."

She smiles at both of them as she walks away.

"Thank you," Toby calls out to her and then looks back at the rose in his hand, "Well that was interesting."

"You can say that again," Happy looks confused as she keeps watching the woman as she sits down at a bench further away from them. She is snapped out of her thoughts as she sees a rose in front of her face and looks up at Toby.

Toby smiles, "she said it was for you."

Happy rolls her eyes and takes the rose, "you are so sappy Doc."

"When it comes to you I am," he says as he keeps staring at her.

She looks at him and feels like she is completely melting but tries to push it away and takes a sip of her coffee.

Toby sighs and sits back against the bench, when she looks up at him he looks completely deflated. She feels this pang of guilt again and mentally slaps herself, she hates when she does this to him. Why does she consistently feel the need to push him away?

She looks off and sees a man setting out his guitar case and begins to play on his guitar and begins to sing.

Again the old lady who brought them the rose stands in front of them.

"May we help you?" Happy asks with concern because she isn't sure why she's here again.

"Would you let me dance with your handsome gentleman here, he reminds me so much of my husband," she smiles sweetly at Toby.

Toby smiles at the woman and cocks his head at Happy with a smirk, "Yeah will you let this handsome gentleman dance with this sweet woman."

"Uh," Happy looks between the both of them as they wait for her answer, "Sure, but be careful he's a little clumsy."

Toby touches his heart and makes a sad expression, "That hurts Hap. I'm actually pretty good on my feet."

The old woman laughs a bit, "You kids are too cute. Come on sweetheart, would you share this dance with this old woman?"

"Off course ma'am," Toby stands up and they walk a little further and start dancing slowly.

Happy can't help but smile, it is such a nice moment and she can't help but admit how seeing Toby acting this sweet to the old lady makes her heart skip a few beats. She hates to admit it but Toby is actually a pretty good dancer.

She laughs out loud as she sees the old woman slide her hand to Toby's butt and Toby jumps a bit.

The old lady laughs and looks over at Happy, "I'm sorry love, I just had to. I promise I won't take your man away from you."

Happy blushes as the woman refers to Toby as her man.

A few moments pass and the musician changes to another slow song. Toby and the old woman stop dancing and the woman whispers something to Toby before she walks over to her.

She grabs Happy's hand, "Come on love, it is your turn to dance with him."

"Uhm," Happy is taken completely off guard, "No ma'am it's okay. You can keep dancing with him."

"No, love. I know he wants to dance with you. You want to know how I know that?"

Happy nods and the woman whispers to her, "Because even though he was dancing with me, he kept looking over here at you."

Happy blushes, "I'm not the best at dancing."

"Neither am I but with my William, I was always the best dancer. I think when you dance with the one you love they just make everything perfect," She smiles at her and slightly pulls at Happy's hand.

Happy sighs and gives in because this little old lady is more stubborn than she is.

"Here you go sweetheart, I brought you your beautiful woman," the old lady gives Toby Happy's hand and they both feel shivers run through their bodies as their skin touches.

"Thank you, Margret," he bends down and gives the woman a kiss on her forehead.

"Oh bless your heart young man," she pats his arm and looks over at Happy, "You are one of the lucky few that can say they have such a sweet man in their life."

She gets close to Happy and whispers, "Don't let him go, love."

The old woman thanks them both and walks away.

Happy looks back at Toby as soon as the woman is gone, "Well uhm…" she looks around nervously.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to make you dance with me," Toby says quietly and let's go of her hand as he begins to walk back to the bench.

Happy doesn't know what she's doing or if it's right but if she doesn't just do what every part of her body is begging her to do, she may never do it.

So she reaches over and grabs his hand and pulls him back towards her, "What are you doing?" He asks as he looks around smiling awkwardly.

"We are going to dance," Happy says and Toby gets this look of disbelief and joy, "the dance is for Margret."

Toby nods and smiles because he knows that deep down Happy truly wants to dance with him, "I'll take it."

They keep some distance between them and Toby makes sure not to pull her any closer in fear that it will scare her away. So when she closes the space between them and rests her head against his chest he can't believe it.

"Happy what ar-"

"Shut-up Doc and don't ruin it," Happy interjects and gets comfortable against his chest.

Toby nods and decides to just enjoy this moment, it is perfect. Her body feels so small against his and she feels safe, something that she didn't even know she could feel.

The song ends and Happy looks up at Toby and she wants so badly to kiss him, to feel a bit closer to him and he wants the same.

They are moving closer to one another's lips when rain begins to pour down.

"Perfect timing," Toby laughs.

"Told you it was going to rain!" Happy shouts over the noise of the rain and people running for coverage.

"I know, I know!" Toby sighs.

"Doc, I need to get back to the hotel, my bike is going to get damaged."

Toby nods and they start running back to the hotel, thankfully they aren't to far from it.

"Oh sh*t," Happy groans and bends over in pain.

"Happy, are you okay?" Toby runs over to her.

"No dummy," she groans as she tries to stand up.

"Okay here, I'm going to carry you and then I'll take a look at it when were indoors," Toby says and looks up to see Happy shaking her head, "No, you are not going to be stubborn again. Whether you like it or not I'm carrying you."

Happy is surprised by his lead and just lets him carry her. When they get to the hotel he takes her into the hotel lobby.

Happy pulls out a cover from her bag, "Could you go cover my bike?"

"Sure thing, stay here I'll be right back," Toby smiles and grabs the cover.

"Well I can't really go anywhere, can I Doc," she says as she motions to her leg.

"That's true," he laughs a bit and runs back out into the rain to cover her bike.

He comes back soaking wet and he kneels down and starts to undo the laces to her boot, "I covered your bike. Now, let me take a look at your ankle."

She can't help but smile as he looks intently at her ankle, he honestly looks worried about her.

"Okay, it looks like its just a sprain but we definitely need to get you home," Toby puts her boot back on and places it on top of the little coffee table.

"Well let me call a cab. I'll just have to leave my bike here tonight," Happy pulls out her phone from her bag.

"Don't be silly, I have my car here I'll take you home," Toby smiles at her.

"But Doc, Kelly needs you here," Happy says even though it hurts to say it.

Toby gets closer to her and looks at her, "She's okay now, I'm sure she'll understand. Plus, you need a doctor to keep an eye on that overnight."

"Doc, it is just a sprain. I doubt it requires you to watch over me," Happy states.

"But I want to," he looks at her with concern, "Let me take care of you Hap."

Happy gulps because his eyes are burrowing into her soul and she feels vulnerable, "Fine. But you are sleeping on the couch, don't get any funny ideas Perv."

Toby laughs and stands up, "Okay Ms. Quinn. I'll be back, I'm just going to let Kelly know what is going on."

Happy nods and Toby walks off to the elevator. Happy is a bit nervous about Toby spending the night in her apartment but she also finds herself a little excited to have him take care of her, he's proven to be good at it. But suddenly Happy realizes that Kelly may not be too happy to known Toby is leaving to take care of her.
