Chapter 7: The boys
Please keep leaving your amazing reviews, they make me want to write more and faster. This chapter is kind of short but I promise the next chapter will be much longer. Thank you to my amazing continuous reviews. I couldn't be happier to have you following my story. You all make my day every day. So enjoy this new chapter.
Spencer's POV
I was kind of distracted in class today. All I could think of was Toby and I and why I let myself get so comfortable around him. Now he is going to think he might actually have a chance at us dating. Not that he is unattractive or not sweet, it just that he is not my type. To tell you the truth I don't really know what my type is. I barely have had time to date. I decide since I have nothing else to do I will go to Toby's early so we can get done with this project. I drive to the guy's house by myself. I told the girls that I was going to the library to studying. The last thing I need is making little couple name or saying how cute we are, when there is nothing going on. I notice the guy's cars outside of the house but not Toby's truck. Great. Now I have to spend the time with my brother and his friends. Most likely being idiots and talking about stuff that I don't want to hear about. I bet your wondering who my brother is. Well Jason is my brother, or half-brother. My dad had an affair and Jason was made. A lot of people don't know about us being siblings because we don't tell them. But Jason and I are pretty good friends. I walk up to the door and knock. Caleb opens the door.
"Well well well, if it is Spencer Hastings. Did you figure out you like Toby and came to give him some fun, if you know what I mean" Caleb says while winking and humping the air.
"EW gross and no we have to finish a project and then I am done with this place" I reply pushing into the house.
"Come on Spencie, you know you would miss us if you never saw us again" Caleb explains.
"Caleb leaves her alone. And nope would miss you Caleb" Jason states.
"I'm hurt Jase." He says putting a hand over his heart and pretending to fall on the ground.
"Whatever. Hey Spence didn't know you were coming over" Jason says.
"Ya, well Toby and I needed to finish a math assignment for class." I explain.
"Oh, well he won't be back for another hour or so. But you can stick around and hang out with us" Jason says.
"Sure why not?" I say. We all sit on the couches. I watch the boys play their video games. It's actually quite amusing. Whenever one of them loses they start beating each other up.
"So Spence, what going on between you and Toby?" Holden asks.
"What do you mean? " I reply obviously knowing what he meant.
"Well, yesterday after you left Toby was very smiling cooked us all dinner, which FYI he never does, so what happening?" Holden asks again. All the boys stopped playing the game and watched and waited for me to reply.
"Nothing happened. We were both hung over and just had a lazy day like friends. Nothing more than friends" I reply.
"Ya that's what they all say" Ezra replies.
"What's up with you guys and your girlfriends?" I ask trying to get the conversation off of me.
"Ya about that Aria's birthday are soon and I don't know what to get her" Jason says.
"Well Aria really loves art. Take her to an art show or something. Or get her art supplies. But she is also one for weird jewellery too." I explain.
"Thanks so much Spence" Jason says.
"No Problem" I reply.
"Well, if you want to know Hanna is amazing. Buts she talks about you and Toby a lot. And how your too stupid realize that he really likes you. No offense" Caleb says.
"So Spencer, going back to you. Is there any way that you and Toby will go out?" Ezra asks.
"I don't know. I think we are better off has friends. Plus I couldn't see Toby settling down with one girl, he is too much of a player. He would eventually get bored off me and then leave and I don't want that. So no there is not much of a chance of us getting together" I answer honestly. I look and see the guys the wide eyes staring at something behind me. I turn around and see Toby standing there with sad eyes. Well shit...I didn't even notice him come in. I look at his clothes and see their wet. Most likely from the rain. He looks so upset and angry. I am about to say something when he starts walking back out the door. Not knowing what to do I run after him. I forgot to grab a coat, so I am running down the street chasing Toby in the pouring rain wearing a t-shirt, skirt and shoes.
"TOBY!" I yell after him.
"TOBY! PLEASE STOP RUNNING SO WE CAN TALK!" I continue. He stops in his place and turns around.
"Why Spencer?! Why do you want to talk?!" he asks. I don't really know how to answer.
"I just want to explain. I don't want to lose you." I say honestly. The tears welling in my eyes. I am so confused. He is a good friend. But I just not sure I am ready to be more then friends.
" I don't even know what I am too you Spence! One day we are kissing and snuggling and then the next you are explaining to my roommates that all we are is friends." He states angrily.
"I don't know I am confused" I say.
"Well maybe you should figure your shit out before you continue to string me along thinking that maybe I have a chance." He says sadly.
"I'm trying to figure it out! It's just that I want to be happy with you, but I don't want to let myself fall for you and be one of those girls who you just dump" I explain.
"How many times do I have to tell you, you will never be like one of those girls!? You make me better, you make me happy, you are different but in the best way possible! Spencer, I like you a lot." He explains.
"Can we just go slow than. Not be official yet but maybe try and see what if feels like. Because Toby you do make me happy but I am just scared." I explain rubbing his cheek with my hand, wiping away the tears.
"Ok, but please tell me if you think it's not going to work. Because I don't like being stringed along like a puppet. I have feelings too." He says.
"I know." I reply before leaning in and kissing him. I don't know what I got myself into but it feels right. Maybe I can learn to love this boy. We pull away from the kiss and look at each other with our foreheads pressed together. I am being to shiver because the rain is cold.
"Come on, let's get you inside before you get sick" he says while putting his jacket on me trying to keep me warm. We get back to the house and go straight into Toby's room not wanting to explain to the guys what happened.
"Here" Toby says while throwing me a pair of his boxers and shirt.
"Thanks" I say quietly before going into the bathroom to change. I walk and see Toby laying on his bed working on the assignment.
"So we are almost done we just have part 4 to complete and that's it." Toby explains. We work on the project for an hour before we finish. It is now 6pm.
"So Spence, I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date um maybe Friday, you know to try this thing out" Toby asks nervously while starching the back of his neck. I find it cute that he is getting nervous. He has really changed a lot so for this year.
"Yes I would love to" I answer before leaving his room with a kiss on the cheek. I say goodbye to all the guys and then head home.
Toby's POV
She said yes! She said yes! Oh my god I have been trying for this for forever. I break out into the biggest smile ever. I have to plan the best date ever. As I think of ideas there is a knock on my door.
"Come in" I say. Jason enters me room and then closes the doors behind him.
"So can you please explain to me what happened?" Jason asks. I nod. This is going to be a long story.
"Ok you promise you won't tell anybody, not even Aria or the boys?" I say.
"I promise" he replies.
"Ok so yesterday Spencer and I were hanging out watching movies all day and making cookies. It was a pretty chill day, nothing too big. But when she was going to leave we kissed twice" I explain.
"Wait, so that's why you were so happy yesterday?" Jason asks. I nod.
"Anyways, I don't know I thought there was something going on. I am trying to change for her and doing everything to show her that I can be the guy she wants. But hearing what she said really I ran. But she ran after to me and begged to talk. We kind of talked slash yelled. In the end she decided to give me a chance. But it's not official. I am taking her on a date on Friday but I don't know what to do. Can you help me since she is you sister?" I ask helplessly.
"Yes, I will help. First thing you need to know about Spencer is she doesn't like going to big, fancy restaurants. She grew up around money and she hated it. Take her somewhere small and comfy. She is also a totally nerd and loves the outdoors. Your favourite things are coffee and scrabble. But that's all the info I am giving you. The rest you have to figure out yourself." Jason says before he leaves. I am going to plan the perfect date.
