Chapter Six

One little thing can trigger a whole chain of events. One tiny thing could change everything in your life, for example, one day you're making cookies, and then because you aren't the brightest crayon in the box, realize you're out of chocolate chips. The most essential item to chocolate chip cookies because well that's what makes them chocolate chips cookies of some reason, you don't check whether you have them or not until the last minute, when all of your ingredients are mixed together and set. Sure you could just make oatmeal raisin cookies instead, but no you want those chocolate chip cookies. So you make your way to the grocery store, and meet the love of your life who you end up having four children with. In other situations, the outcome may not be so happy. Say same situation, but this time you get into a car accident, because some girl who was underage and drinking, because her boyfriend cheated on her, hits you with her car. You end up in the hospital. Luckily you survive, with severe injuries but you still survive yet, your paralyzed for the rest of your life. Sure you have to accept it, because it could have been worse. You could have not made it, but if you knew the other out come, how would you feel? All it takes is a trigger like running out of chocolate chips, or cheating on your girlfriend or boyfriend. All it takes is one tiny thing, to change the course of events. But, if the two were truly soul mates, would they still end up together? Despite the path they took to get there? Or would they end up with someone completely different, convinced they married their soul mate. Questions like that were hard to answer, maybe even impossible to answer.

It was now past dinner, which was followed by about three speeches about Jenna and Franklin's oh so true love , and time for the couple's first dance. Toby, strangely, didn't want this evening to end. He didn't want to stop pretending to be Spencer's boyfriend, well he did, but only if he became her real boyfriend instead. It was like Cinderella, at midnight, or whatever time the reception ended, the magic would all be over.

After, Alison and Alex strode away on the dance floor. Toby, Holly, and Spencer sat at the round table alone. No one ever took the unoccupied seat, and Toby's wine glass was nearly empty. Toby glanced at Holly who scratching her fingernails. Same old habits, except she wasn't the same old Holly. In high school she was weird, socially awkward, and an outsider. Now, she seemed to be the center of attention, and got along just fine with everyone. She even got into a whole conversation about salt with Alex, whom she just met nearly two hours ago. Toby, gulped awkwardly. No one was speaking.

"Spencer," He said softly, "Care to dance?" He asked standing up, holding out his hand patiently, like he was her prince charming.

"Okay," She murmured glancing at Holly who was glaring at them, and looked to be as bored as ever.

"Have fun." Holly said with a tight smug smile, as she watched the two love birds float away on the dance floor.

They were in the middle of a slow Taylor Swift song as they swayed to the music. Toby was never really the dancer, but Spencer was. She danced when she was little, but she didn't care to showing off or prove she was the best. She didn't care when she was with Toby, she just felt content. She didn't feel the need to impress him. It was a good feeling. She couldn't even act this away around Aria nor Ezra whom she's known for almost her whole life.

"Am I too slow for you?" He asked gleaming into her mocha filled eyes. With her three inch heals she was almost his height, but not quite yet. She was still about three inches away. But, she wasn't planning in investing six inch heals any time soon.

"No," She responded a smiled danced over her lips as she nuzzled her head into his shoulder. Now, her chin set on his shoulder, and their were bodies practically stroking against each other. Toby had to catch his breath, but he couldn't with thousands of new questions exploding his head. Did Holly see them? Was Spencer just doing this because she wanted to? Was Holly even jealous? Did Spencer feel the same sparks, that ignited all over his own body? Usually, he was calm and collect. But, Spencer made him crazy, nervous, and short of breath. He felt the need to take his own advice that he always told Spencer: breath.

They stayed swaying like that for nearly the next four songs, and Toby wasn't about to push her away. It felt like the perfect moment, one of those moments from a Nicholas Sparks movie or something. But, like those movies, it was fake. Or was it?

"This was fun." She said as she finally stepped out of Toby's embrace, and cocked her head to the side.

What was? Being a couple? Pissing Holly off? Just Jenna's wedding in general? "Yeah," was all he could murmur.

"I think it worked," She said glancing at Holly, who was still bored as ever, sitting at the table. "She seems jealous."

"Yeah," He swallowed hardly.

"We're pretty good at this couple thing." She said in a quick breath. She looked up into Toby's piercing blue eyes, she could see every freckle, and swirl in his eyes sparkle.

"We are." He managed to breath. He couldn't control himself, there faces were so close together already, that he hardly had to lean into to place a gentle, but passionate kiss on her lips.

And that's how the story ended, the two lived happily ever kidding, nothing is ever that easy.

As soon as Toby realized what he was doing, and had control over his body again he pulled away instantly, not even giving her a second to kiss back. He dropped his hands from her back, and stepped away dazzled. He didn't even look at her, he didn't want to see whatever facial expression took form on her face. "I should go talk to Holly." he blurted quickly, before darting away from Spencer, not even looking back at her. What the hell did he just do?

I'm sorry this chapter is soooo short. Forgive me! I just wanted to end it here. Seriously, I'm sorry. The next chapter should be longer, and honestly I should have just tied this chapter within the other one, I didn't realize how short it was. If i get 10 reviews I'll update tomorrow! So tell me your thoughts, how do you think Spencer feels about the kiss? Will they tell Wren? Will they end up together? Well, since this chapter was so short, I'm giving you a little spoiler dialogue for the next chapter.

So, I feel like I dropped a bunch of reviewers or something? Are you guys still reading this? Lol, please review! It seriously brightens my day. xoxo

"Toby, I messed up." She said looking down at her hands."You were a great guy," She said softly. "It took me a while to realize that, but I did." She shrugged with a small forced smile.

"When you meant start over?" Toby furrowed his eye brows. "You didn't mean as friends...did you?" He said slowly.
