Chapter Twenty-Seven
As Christmas came closer, and closer, Spencer pushed off telling Wren further and further. It wasn't that she regretted her decision, but she was scared-terrified he wouldn't understand. What if he never spoke to her again? At all costs she tried avoiding the topic of Wren. Especially, with Toby whom was growing impatient with her. She knew she had to tell Wren, but telling him...it would be hard.
She cuddled up next to him, on the chilly night, watching the classic 'A Christmas story.' Spencer suddenly, was happy, Aria and Ezra stole her blankets that morning, and taking it with them, telling her 'they were building a fort with Harold'. Harold, was Ezra's brother; Wesley's son. Spencer had never met him, but Harold was apparently hooked on Aria. Aria had a liking for him too. Whenever, her and Ezra had a chance to baby sit, they would jump at the chance.
Anyway, she was happy, because it gave her an excuse to be so close to him. She made circles on his chest aimlessly, with her pinkie. Ever so often, smiling up at him, and snuggling back into the crook of his neck. Spencer, usually wasn't the one for lazy afternoon, watching movie-marathons, but with Toby it seemed to be okay. "I have to go soon," He said silently playing with her sweet smelling hair.
Spencer, made a pout to her self, still staring downwards. "Can't you stay for a while longer? Aren't you the leader of this project?" She asked.
"Yes," His voice trailed with a grin. "But, if I don't get this done by Thursday, I'll be working in the mail room."
Spencer, laughed quietly, the laugh morphing into a sigh gradually. "I miss living with you," She sighed. "We got to see each other more." With their busy schedules, they had to work around them. They tried seeing each other every day, but sometimes that didn't happen.
"Me too," he said as their hands moved against each other. "At least, we'll have this weekend." He chimed with a big smile. With Christmas right around the corner, coming up on Sunday. The happy couple were going to Toby's father's house. Although, it wasn't the best place to be according to Toby, it was somewhere. Now, when he introduced Spencer, as his girlfriend, to his family, it wouldn't be a lie. This made Toby feel warm inside, after this chaotic year, they were finally together. Besides, they wouldn't be spending all there time surrounded by family. They would be getting some alone time too. Always a bonus.
Spencer smiled widely at this, she remembered last Christmas, they weren't even dating, and he invited to his Christmas. Although, She patched things up with Melissa, and Melissa invited her over. She was more happy to be with Toby. "I hope they like me," She huffed biting her lip.
"Who cares if they like you?" He shot instantly. "Besides, you've already met them, at Jenna's wedding. They have to like you." He said sincerely.
"Yeah, but we were just friends-" Her voice trailed.
"Pretending to be boy friend and girl friend, and pretending not to have feelings for each other?" He interrupted with a low chuckle.
"Yeah," She giggled. "Plus, I talked to them, for probably two minutes. I didn't even talk to Jenna, but the way she was looking at me, described her feelings perfectly." Spencer shuttered.
"Jenna's Jenna." Toby rolled his eyes disgustingly. Spencer, knew Toby's past with Jenna; he and Jenna had a relationship, to try and stop their parent's wedding. Although, Jenna developed real feelings, and took it to far. Once they got married, Toby tried to stop it, but with Jenna's manipulating way's, she became in charge of the house. She threatened Toby, and made him be with her in ways, far to friendly. So, Spencer certainly wasn't planning on becoming buddy-buddy with her. Although, Toby was pretty civil towards her now. She always admired this about him. If it was her, she most certainly wouldn't be civil... She didn't even think she could be civil towards Jenna, because of how she hurt Toby. Even if Jenna was now married, and their past was, in the past. Spencer, wouldn't just get over it. When looking at Jenna, she probably wouldn't be able to soften her deadly glaring eyes. "She doesn't matter. None of them do," he said softly snuggling into her closer. "I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you." he hummed.
"Did you just quote Leonia Lewis?" She looked at him bursting into a laugh, although her cheeks were turning pink.
"Maybe," He smiled. "But, it fit the situation. And, without a doubt, they will like you." He narrowed his deep ocean eyes, into her chocolate one, as their lips touched for a brief second until 'Ping' Spencer's phone went off. Spencer pulled away from the blissful short kiss, reaching for her phone. She gulped looking at whom the text message was from.
Toby, seemed obvious, staring at the back of her head. Although, after not coming back into his arms, he seemed to notice. "Who is it?" He asked quietly, already theorizing who it most likely was.
"No one," She offered a toothless smile back at him, throwing her phone down, not even replying. She cuddled back up into Toby, trying to start up, what they were just starting up a second ago. Although, he didn't look pleased with that answer.
"When are you going to tell him?" He said his eyes becoming sharp.
"Who?" She said innocently, he cocked his head knowingly, making Spencer sigh.
"Okay, it was Wren." She groaned. "He wants to meet up for tea or something, tonight..." She said nervously.
Although, Toby didn't like the idea of Spencer hanging around Wren. He didn't want to tell her 'she can't hangout with him.' knowing Spencer, she would be offended, this would turn into a huge fight. Spencer would end up going, leaving Toby pissed, and worried that his girl friend would rethink her decision. In other words, he was sort of whipped. "Are you going?"
She shrugged.
"Spencer, when are you going to tell him?" He demanded firmly.
"Soon, I promise." She smiled pecking his lips, hoping this would end their dispute. But it didn't...
"How soon?"
"After Christmas,"
"Spencer," He groaned, rolling his head back with a sigh.
"What am i suppose to say? Oh Wren, Merry Christmas, this year I bring heart break." She pursed her lips.
"And making him wait, isn't any better." He said honestly.
"I know," She sighed.
"Look if it were me, thank god it's not," He said with a smile, that listened about a second. Although, Spencer's smile lasted longer, knowing he wasn't too upset with her made her happy. "I would want to know, as soon as possible. Waiting for some one to break your heart, is a terrible feeling. Rip the bandage off, tell him." He urged.
Spencer sighed. "I can't believe you're giving me advice on this," She laughed shaking her head.
"Well, I'm not only doing it for you. I was Wren's good friend once, and" He shrugged sheepishly, "Plus, the little selfish part of me want's him to know, that you're with me." He smiled sheepishly.
Spencer broke out into a huge smile. "You know, you're actually pretty hot when your jealous."
"When have you-" He asked as she placed a hand on his chest pressing him downwards.
"Please," She smirked pressing her lips against his lips. This time he instantly invited her to explore the area's inside his mouth, as he he trailed his hands down her spine, making her shiver. Although, their small make out session didn't last long, as Toby pulled away with sigh. Spencer looked at him frazzled, her eyes asking if she did something wrong.
"I have to get to work." He stated. Spencer sighed, climbing off of him.
She walked him to the apartment's door, and stared at him lovingly. "I hate being grown up,"
"It has it's perks," He grinned staring at her and grabbing her into a deep good bye kiss. They slowly parted, their hands parting last, and the smile on her face wouldn't drop. "Good Bye Spencer," He said at last, dropping hand contact with her.
"Bye," She mumbled softly, mostly to her self.
