Chapter Sixteen
The soaked brunette, and damped messy haired man stepped into the small gas station. They roamed around the small aisles aimlessly, looking at the different amounts of candy staring back at them. The soaked brunette bit her pinkie nail, as she decided over M&M's or a bag of star bursts, while the man with the alluring blue eyes had loads of candy in his hands next to her, ranging from heath bars, to kit-kats, to a bag of cookies and cream Hershey drops.
"Have enough candy there?" She glanced at him with her mocha eyes, as she finally decided on the M&M's. "You're such a child." She turned to him, he looked so innocent with his big blue eyes, and damp hair surrounding them. "I thought you we're suppose to be the kid napper, not a kid." She went on, as a lady who was in the next asile glanced over at them with a concern look plastered her face.
"Spencer," Toby said glancing at the lady. "could you be any more louder?" He chuckled as he moved his eyes down to her hands. "That's all your getting?" He said as if he was disgusted. As if she had just said that she was planning to eat ostrich meat.
"What?" She said innocently looking down at the small bag of M&M's in her small hands.
"More like why?" He questioned returning to her chocolate eyes. He loved her eyes because they reminded him of sweet sweet chocolate. Toby, had a sweet tooth. He could look into her eyes all day, except that wouldn't be a friendly thing to do? Now, would it?
"I'm not the biggest candy fan." She said indifferently, folding her arms together.
"How are we friends?" he joked as he looked down into her chocolate eyes.
"We're not." She smirked. "You picked me up remember? I was walking home, and you just pulled up to the side of me." She bit her lip, to hide the smile creeping on her face and glanced at the concerned old lady who was staring at them still.
"So, you don't like candy, but you got into my car because, I told you I had candy?" He lowered his voice playing along, but not being loud enough for the little old lady to hear him. He knew Spencer was trying to get her attention, and evidently mess with him.
"It was cold." She shrugged. "And I was hungry." She said innocently with a small pout.
"Well," he huffed. "A bag of M&M's won't fill you up." He said as he picked up the star bursts that, she was holding moments before. He held them out to her, waiting for her to take it, as the twix in his other hand was slipping through his grip. "Take it." he urged.
"Nah," She mumbled with a smile as she glanced at the Twix bar that was now plummeting to the ground which made Toby groan. Spencer, bursted into a fit of giggles before taking the bag of star bursts from him. She watched as he leaned down to picked up the twix bar, Spencer couldn't resist checking him out. He had the perfect body, soon he was standing back on his feet, and Spencer darted her eyes back at the candy casually.
"Ready to go?" He asked casually.
"Yeah," She said lightly, as she made her way to the cashier. Toby, first, put all his candy on the counter, and then gestured for Spencer to follow his actions.
"I can pay for my own-" She began to say, but it was too late, Toby had snatched the bag of M&M's and star bursts out of her hands. She rolled her eyes, and once again wrapped her arms around her petite body.
Toby threw Spencer, her bag's of candy as they walked out of the small gas station. "I can't believe all we bought is candy." She said in shock, looking at the candy as they made their way back to Toby's truck, the rain still pouring down hard.
"Do you ever do anything for fun?" He asked as he opened the door to his truck and hopped in. Spencer followed his actions, and hopped in too.
"Yes," her voice trailed with annoyance as she slammed the door. Now, inside Toby's car, and out of the rain. "Eating candy for dinner? It's childish, not fun." She said indifferently.
"Don't you some times miss being a kid Spence?" He said looking at her with curious and innocent eyes, before starting up the engine.
"We aren't children any more." She said locking eyes with him. He darted his eyes away as he pulled out of the gas stations parking lot.
"Yeah," He shrugged. "Well, sometimes you just have to take a break from all of this shit, and bring out your inner child."
"Ignorance is bliss." She sighed.
After, about twenty minutes of driving, Spencer was just confused as ever.
"Okay," her voice trailed with uncertainty as she munched on a red star burst. "I'm beginning to think your actually driving out to a cliff, to kill me." She joked as she sat confused. Why weren't they just going home?
"I just feel like driving." He shrugged innocently.
Eventually, the two, came to a abandoned parking lot for a Walmart, that closed down about eight months ago. They just sat there, peacefully, watching the rain and forgetting the rest of the troubles in life.
Spencer, and Toby sat in his truck, bags of candy close, and they just sat there watching the rain drops hit the window shield rapidly. They hit hard, and fast, then they rolled down the window slowly collecting the other rain drops as they rolled down, becoming bigger and bigger. The just kept falling, and in the mean time just got bigger and bigger. Eventually, they would stop, but start rolling down the window soon enough, after. It was kind of like love, as you fell for someone, your love would just become bigger and bigger with time. Maybe, it would stop for awhile, but eventually, you would fall again and again for this person.
"As much as I love the rain," Spencer said popping an M&M in her mouth. "We've been just sitting here for the last twenty minutes and driving around for an hour." She scoffed glancing at him with confused eyes. "Are you avoiding something?"
"Something." Toby mumbled as he chomped on a twix bar.
"What?" Spencer asked furrowing her eye brows. Spencer, didn't exactly tell Toby, Wren basically implied her and him, as more than friends. She figured it would just create unnecessary drama. But, maybe Toby already knew. Was that why he was avoiding him? It didn't make sense. And Wren looked more pissed than Hanna.
"Nothing," Toby shrugged. "Just thought we could hangout, enjoy the rain." He said looking at her with those big deep ocean eyes you could get lost in so easily. " I like storms."
"Me too." She said with a nod and a smile. She rolled her eyes away from him and to the rain drops once again. "For a kidnapper, your pretty nice." She said with a smile still staring off into the pouring rain.
"I try my best." He said with a soft chuckle as he played along to the charade of the afternoon.
Eventually, the two headed home. Toby had to face Wren, he worried that Wren would start a fight. Not, because Toby couldn't take him. But, because Wren couldn't take him. Also, because he just wished Wren would understand. They were even now, and he couldn't change the past. All, he could do was apologize. Spencer, and Toby ran to apartment building, getting poured on once again. By this time, Spencer's hair was completely soaking wet and left drops of water wherever she stood.
Wren was sitting on the couch, reading the newspaper when the two walked in, he set it down and greeted them briefly. "I'm going to go take a shower," Spencer mumbled before fluttering away. Toby, bit his lip and took a seat on the recliner. Wren didn't even look at him, as Toby heard the shower start, he knew this was his chance to talk.
"Wren," Toby began, his voice filled with sorrow. "I'm sorry." Wren looked at him, and glared a hard stare.
"I guess the tables have turned." Wren gritted through his teeth. "How was your afternoon with her?" He asked a smug look on his British face. "Did you make another move?" He arched his eyebrows looking directly in Toby's eyes, lasers practically shooting out of his hazelnut brown eyes.
"Look, I'm sorry-." Toby said indifferently. Why was Wren so mad? He did the exact same fricken thing to him in high school.
"Save it," Wren scoffed bitterly before going back into his room.
Toby hit his head against the chair, and thought to himself how badly he needed a drink. So he pulled out his phone, and started to dial the number of an Emily Fields. In the middle of dialing her number, his phone started ringing the annoying ringtone his phone had supplied him. The caller I.D read Hanna Marin. Toby furrowed his eye brows, but instantly picked up without hesitation.
"Hey," he said almost in shock. Hanna had seemed so pissed at him earlier, he didn't expect her to be calling him a few hours later. Like Spencer, he learned Hanna was stubborn, and most defiantly not a push over.
"Hi," She sounded as if she had been crying and quite nervous.
"Hanna," He said his voice softening. "What's wrong?" He questioned, nervousness threading through his voice.
"I-" She stuttered. "I'm," She mumbled through her tears. "I um-" Her voice broke.
"Hanna," Toby sat up in the recliner chair, worry lines increasing on his forehead. "Are you okay?" He asked urgently.
"I'm fine." Her voice shook unsteadily. "Can you come over? I need to tell you something." She said swallowing her tears.
"Yeah," He said softly. "Of course, i'll be there in ten." He said in a rush.
"Toby it takes fifteen minutes to get here," He could hear her smile.
"I don't care." He said sternly. "If you need me, I'll be there." He said solemnly.
"Yeah," Her voice broke out again into a sob. "Just drive safe." She said earnestly through the tears.
"Right," He said softly. "I'll see you soon." He said softly.
"Yeah," She agreed before pressing end.
The shower stopped, and Toby hesitantly walked out the door. What was Wren going to tell Spencer, if he told her anything? But, he couldn't focus on that, Hanna was upset, and needed him to be there for her. That was just how it was going to have to be.
