"Boys Shack, MEN build homes"
Steve Harvey


After an afternoon full of apartment viewing, Spencer, Hanna and Caleb their way back to Spencer's apartment. Emily was making dinner, so Hanna and Caleb were staying to eat.

They pulled into the apartment building parking lot to see that there was construction going on in the apartment lobby. When they walked through the doors, Caleb immediately recognized one of the workers there as an old friend from High-school.

"Toby! How you doin' man?" Caleb asked, walking up to him, Hanna and Spencer following lead.

"I'm not bad, man. It's been a while hasn't it?" Toby asked.

"Yeah. We've got to catch up sometime."

"Definitely. So, who are the women?"

"This is Hanna, my girlfriend of five years now," Caleb said gesturing to Hanna, "and this is Hanna's best friend and a good friend of mine, Spencer," he gestured to Spencer.

"Wow, five years? I didn't know you could last that long. It's nice to meet you two ladies though."

"So, where are you living?" Caleb asked.

"Here in Philly. In a house I build for myself." Impressive. "So, do you live here in this apartment building?"

"No, Spencer lives here actually."

"Well, be prepared to be seeing me a lot more," Toby joked to Spencer.

"Gladly," Spencer flirted.

"Anyways, we should probably get going, before our meal freezes," Caleb inputted

"See you around?" Toby asked Spencer.

"Definitely."

"And you too, Caleb?"

"Yeah, man." And with that they headed up too the apartment.

"Was Spencer Hastings just flirting? With a stranger?" Hanna asked.

"Maybe. And he's not a stranger if Caleb knows him."

"It's okay. He's a hunk. If I wasn't with sketchy over there I would so be flirting with him too."

"I heard that, Hanna."

"..But, I'd rather be with you," Hanna added. Spencer unlocked the door and opened it.

"I thought you guys got lost!" Emily exclaimed.

"Sorry, Caleb ran into an old friend of his," Spencer explained.

They all sat around the dinner table and ate. Then, they spent the evening watching movies until Hanna and Caleb decided that it was time to go home.


The next day, after Spencer had gotten home from class, she starting looking for something to eat to satisfy her hunger she had every afternoon when she was done classes.

"Emily, what happened to all the food?" Spencer asked, after realizing that the fridge was almost empty.

"Well, I used most of it to make dinner yesterday, then used the rest to make lunch today," Emily replied, after coming out of her bedroom.

"Ugh, now you have to go grocery shopping to get me something to eat before I starve!"

"Me? I have classes now. Besides you're the one that wants the food.. Not me."

"Yeah, but you're the one that used up all the food!"

"Sorry, gotta go!" Emily grabbed her bag and walked out the door before Spencer could reply.

"Grrrr!" Spencer groaned in frustration. Grocery shopping was something she hated. But she knew it had to be done, so she grabbed her purse, before walking out the door and taking the elevator down to the lobby. As she was walking through the lobby, she took notice that Toby and the construction team that were working there yesterday, were no longer there. She continued on her journey though, none the less.


Spencer had all of her groceries that she needed picked up and headed to the cash register. She was waiting in line for a few seconds, before it clicked that the person it front of her looked awfully familiar.

"Jason?" She asked.

"Spencer! How are you?" Jason asked, after turning around.

"I'm great. I thought you were in South Carolina working on your grandmothers house?"

"I was. I'm finished now, though. I just arrived here yesterday, actually."

"That's awesome. So, where will you be living too?"

"I'm renting an apartment here in Philly."

"Well, we should get together sometime. You know, catch up?"

"Sure. I'll see you around?" Jason asked, once all of his items were checked in.

"Yeah, definitely."


Spencer was finally back to the apartment, after a short afternoon of grocery shopping. She attempted to take all of her shopping bags in with her at one time- something she always did to save time. Except this time was a lot more harder because of the large amount of bags, full of food she had to help restock the refrigerator. She walked through the front doors of the apartment building to see that the construction crew were back. She unconsciously let out a sigh of relieve. Although Toby had said that he would be seeing her around, meaning that they would be still working on the apartment building for awhile, she still couldn't help but wonder if they had quit for some reason, when they weren't around earlier. Walking across the lobby she accidentally tripped up on the end of a rug, the weight of the bags, not helping any. Thankfully, her reflexes were fast and she caught herself, before she actually fell, hoping that no one seen her trip and almost fall.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Are you okay? Do you need help with those?" And apparently someone did see her. She turned around to see who she recognized as Toby walking up to her. "Spencer? Right?"

"Um, that would be nice," an excuse to spend some time with this hottie? Yes, please. "And yes, it's Spencer. And you're Toby?"

"That's my name." He grabbed some of her bags and walked with her to the elevator.

"What floor?"

"Four." Toby clicked the floor number.

"You didn't actually have to help me, you realize?"

"No, it's fine. I mean who wouldn't take up the chance to help a pretty girl like you?" Spencer blushed at Toby's comment. They stood in a comfortable silence for the next few seconds, until the elevator stopped and the doors opened. Spencer, lead Toby down the hall, to her apartment door.

"So, I was thinking and I was wondering if maybe, uh, I mean if you're not busy, maybe you could, um, go out to dinner with me sometime," Toby asked nervously as they slowly approached Spencer's apartment door.

"I would love too," Spencer smiled brightly.

"Great. Maybe Hanna and Caleb could come too, you know, as a double-date?"

"I think that's an awesome idea. It sounds fun!" The brown eyed brunette replied as they finally reached their destination.

"Okay. I'll tell you details when I see you next?"

"Sure," Spencer said, opening her apartment door and placing her grocery bags inside, then taking the rest of the bags from Toby and placing them inside too.

"Bye," Toby waved before Spencer stepped inside and closed the door to her apartment and he turned around and walked away.

Compared to all of the dates Spencer had been on since starting college, she had to best feeling about this one. Toby seemed like a great guy. Plus he was good-looking, which was always a great bonus. And he was currently working in her apartment building, double bonus.
