So here is chapter 2. I'm gonna try and make all my chapters longer then the first one, I hope you like it and please tell me what you think.
The next day Spencer and Melissa were going shopping, Spencer was thrilled cause then she could find something perfect to wear to her date, Toby told her to dress casual but she still wanted to find the perfect outfit
"So I'm gonna look for clothes to me and Taylor and that's it, what about you?" Melissa asked "Uhm, I'm gonna buy presents to the girls and some clothes to myself. And then I kind of need your help, I ugh I got a date, tomorrow night" Melissa stopped walking and looked at Spencer with big eyes "A date?! With who?" "The guy with the dog Taylor were talking about, he asked me out" Melissa started walking again "Does he know you're not from here?" "Yeah, he knows. He's actually moving to Rosewood next month, he's a carpenter"
"A carpenter? How old is the guy?" Spencer knew that this could be a big problem, there was no way her family would like that she went out with an older guy "He's 21, but he's really funny and sweet"
Spencer waited for Melissa to tell her that she wouldn't let her go out with a 21 year old but to her suprise Melissa just linked her arm with Spencers "Well then we better find the perfect outfit for you"
The next day couldn't go any slower. Spencer spend the with Taylor and her grandma when Melissa met up with a high school friend.
At 4:30 Spencer started to get ready, she showered, dried her hair and straightend it, she put on makeup, a little heavier then normal but still not to much, then she put on her outfit she bought with Melissa the day before.
When she was done it was 5:40 so she still had 20 minutes to do nothing. She sat down in her bed and checked her Instagram hoping 20 minutes would pass.
After a few minutes her phone went of and a unknown number came up on her screen
"Hello?" "Hey, Spencer it's Toby. I'm outside your hotel in like two minutes, do you want me to come to your room or do you want to meet me outside?" "I'll meet you outside" "Okey, I'm outside now, see you soon" "Yeah, bye" Spencer hung up and took her purse "I'm leaving now, I'll call you if he seems weird and I'll text you when I know were you're going" Spencer said to her mom, her mom hadn't been the biggest fan of Spencer decision to go out with a stranger but Spencer was stubbern and after 10 minutes of arguing Spencer got what she wanted.
"Okey Sweetie, and you're not allowed to go to his place or spend the night with him" Her mom said and Spencer rolled her eyes "Yes mom, I know" And with that Spencer was out the door and runned to the elevator so she could see Toby.
When she walked out from the hotel she saw Toby stand there with a smirk "Hello again" He said and gave Spencer a hug "Hi" "Are you okey to walk a little? The diner is only a few blocks away but if you want to we can take a cab" Toby said, hoping she'd want to walk so he didn't have to go over his budget "I prefer walking" Toby smiled and made a gesture for Spencer to link her arm with his "Then what are we waiting for?" Spencer giggled and linked her arm with his and they started walking.
After about 15 minutes of walking they finally reached the diner, Toby opened the door for Spencer and the walked in "Hey, Carl a table for two" Toby said to the guy that worked there "Toby hey, good to see you!"Carl then turned to Spencer "Spencer? Right? It's good to see you too, here I have a table for you guys"
Carl showed them the booth and they sat down "This is my favorite place in New York. They have the best food and breakfast and everybody that works here are amazing" Toby said and took of his jacket "It's cozy, how did you find it?" "I live in one of the appartments next doors, one morning I was to tired to make my own breakfast so I went hereand since then, I'm stuck. I'm gonna miss this place so much when I move"
Spencer nodded and looked at the menu "So what do you think I should get?" Spencer asked "Let's see, do you like meat?" "I can't live without meat, it's like my drug" Spencer said and Toby stopped looking at the menu and stared at her "I love you" He joked and Spencer giggled "Moving things to fast, are we?" She teased and Toby chuckled "Number 5 is my favorite" Spencer smiled and closed the menu "Number 5 it is then" "Okey, then you just have to choose what side you want, they have fries, cheese fries, sallad without tomatos and sallad with tomatos" Toby said and Spener took a deep breath "That's a hard choise. Do I want fries or cheese fries?" Toby and smiled, he thought she'd choosesome sallad, he loved girls that liked food.
"How about this, I take cheese fries and you take normal and then we'll split?" He suggested and Spencer nodded and bit her lip "Sounds perfect"
A waiter came to their table, she had to be at least 50 and when she saw Toby she smiled "Tobias, it's so nice to see you" "Greta, it's nice to see you too, this is Spencer, she lives in Rosewood, where I'm moving" Greta turned to Spencer and shook her hand "Hi sweetheart, I'm Greta" "Hi" Spencer replied shyly.
"So we both want number five, I want cheese fries and she wants normal, and I want a coke float and you want?" Toby turned to Spencer letting her answer "Um, just a normal coke, thanks" Greta nodded and wrote down their order "Okey, I'll tell the kitchen to hurry up with your orders" "No need, we got all night" Toby said and winked to Spencer making her blush.
"Okey, so tell me about Rosewood, what places should I go to, what's there to do, tell me everything" Toby said when Greta left "Ehm there's not so much to do there. It's a small town like I'm sure you noticed when you visited. I like to go to the brew, it's a small coffee shop and then if you want food, the grille is the best place to get it, it's cozy, not cozy like this place but still. And we have a big libary and then the park is really nice at summers and late spring. And then there is this place called 'The kissing rock' and it's so pretty at night there, people always go there and make out that's why it's called 'kissing rock'"
"Maybe you'll show me that place sometime" Toby said making Spencer blush "Sorry, that was a little to creppy" Toby said but Spencer just shook her head "No, I'm just not used to hear people say thing like that to me" "Like what? Flirt? Oh come on, like guys don't flirt with you. " Toby exlaimed and Spencer giggled
"Yeah well I didn't really tell you how I am in Rosewood. I'm a total nerd, I study all the time, I can't handle a B, I'm a sore loser I heard people tell me I'm scary and my three best friends looks like models, so no, guys don't usually firt with me" Toby started laughing and before he could say something more their food and drinks came.
When Greta left Toby put the fries in the middle so they could share "Well, I do'n't think yoou're scary, you seem more mature then most 18 year olds, when you told you were 18 I thought you were kidding at first" "Yeah well you also thought I was Taylors mother" Spencer teased and Toby stuck out his tounge to her making her laugh "Wow Toby, real mature" Toby shrugged and started eating.
"Tell me something about youself, some fun story" Spencer said and started to eat her burger.
"Ehm okey, lets see. Oh yeah, I have one. Until I was 12 I believed in Santa. On Christmas my uncle was so drunk so when Santa came my uncle pulled of the beard and told us that Santa wasn't real. I was so broken, I locked myself in my room for three days, I didn't come out once, I had my own bathroom and candy in my room so I didn't have to leave. After three days I missed my mom so much that during the night I went to her and my fathers room and cuddled up to her, she held me close and told me that she loved me over and over and I couldn't stop crying. After maybe 15 minutes of crying loudly in the middle of the bight my dad told me to shut up which only made me cry even more, so my mom and I slept in our back yard that night, she took pillows and blankets and we lied there and watched the stars"
Spencer couldn't stop smiling, the story was so sweet and weird but most sweet "I used to cry alot, I still do, embarressing so. I'm a very emotinal guy. I know that's probably a big turn of, girls like men not crying guys"
Spencer shoo her head "No it's cute" Toby hooked his foot with hers and winked "You're cute" Spencer didn't know what to reply so she just bit her lip and eated her burger. Toby started to laugh and shook his head "You get so shy when I compliment you" "Well can you blame me?" Spencer asked and Toby shook his head.
They continued eating, talking about small things "What do you want for dessert?" Toby asked when Greta took their plates "I don't know, do they have anything little? I'm pretty full" Toby smiled and bit his lip "Well they don't have anything small, but if you want to we can share a oreo cheesecake" For the first time since they met Toby was blushing, he didn't really do the date thing so much and when he did it never was with someone so down to earth like Spencer was so he didn't want her to think that he wanted to much out of their date.
Spencer smiled, both over the fact that he wanted to share a dessert with her on their first date and that he was blushing "Yeah sure, I love oreos"
Toby laughed and took her hand in his "I knew there was a reason I wanted to take you out on a date" Spencer giggled and Greta came over to take their order
"So have you've choosed yet?" She asked and Toby nodded, still holding on to Spencer's hand. The diner was darker now when the sun had gone done totally "Yeah, one oreo cheesecake" Toby said and Greta smiled "Like always, and you dear?" She asked Spencer and Toby stopped her "Oh no, we're sharing" Greta's mouth turned into an 'o' before smiling "Okey, do you want anything more to drink?" "Yeah I'd like another coke float" Toby said before turning to Spencer "Do you want another coke?" Spencer turned too Greta and smiled "Just water's fine with me thanks" Greta nodded and left.
"So tell me about your friends, you said you had three best friends" Toby said and saw Spencers face lit up
"Yeah. Hanna, Emily and Aria. They're the best, We've been best friends since we were 14. We're so different from each other but still in some weird way, we can't live without each other. Emily's about my height, she's so beautiful. Tan and golden brown hair, she loves to swim, she's the best swimmer in our school. Hanna's our fashion diva. I don't think there's a guy in Rosewood that wouldn't say she's hot. She's blonde, blue eyes, fit, funny, loves clothes, etc and then Aria. She's our little artist. She loves everything with art. She's so cute and she's kind of short so sometimes it feels like I'm her older sister that have to look after her to make sure that no guy is going to look at her"
Every time Spencer got a chance to talk about her friends, her face always lit up, the girls were like her family. They always took care of each other. Spencer knew that thhe best thing in her life was the girls. Her real family were sweet, sometimes, but only when she did something good. Spencer often felt like she didn't belong in her family or that they wouldn't love her if she didn't do perfect.
"Are you guys like JD and Turk?" Toby asked and Spencer could see that was teasing her "No, we're closer. They're my family, I don't think I'd be able to live without them" "So you're not that close with your real family?" Toby asked and Spencer was suprised he understood that, all she said was that her best friends was like her family
"Sorry, it's just when your best friends is more like your family then your real one, it's usually something weird with the real one" Toby continued when Spencer didn't reply, it felt weird, she felt like she could tell him alot, not everything of course but more then she usually could say to guys she just met.
"I didn't say they were more like my family then my real one" Spencer said, she didn't sound upset "You said 'They're my family' not 'They're like my family'" Toby said and squeezed Spencers hand. Spencer looked at their hands. She was thinking of how much she should tell him. Should she tell him the truth? Or should she just tell him that she didn't mean it that way? But something told her that she could trust him.
"My family's pretty instense, very uptight and it's pretty hard to live up to being that perfect daughter when I'm still a teenager, my older sister was and when I have to be like Melissa all the time...it's hard. I don't want to be like Melissa, I want to be Spencer, like I am right now. But it can be hard to Spencer when I'm with my family sometimes, it's like-like" "Like perfect isn't good enough" Toby interupped when he noticed Spencer couldn't find the words "Yeah, exactly" "Well, I know how that feels, it does get better, I promise, once you'll be able to live by yourself it's much easier to be Spencer, and without sounding totally cheesy, I like Spencer,and if your family doesn't like Spencer then it's their fault" Spencer smiled and bit her tounge, how was it that he could say something that the girls told her thousand times but still when Toby said it she blushed
"That did sound cheesy" Spencer said and Toby chuckled "But it was still really sweet, so thank you" Before Toby could reply Greta came with their cheesecake and drinks. They thanked Greta and as soon as she left they started eating.
After eating up their cheesecake and talking more Spencer started to relax more. Neither of them wanted to the date to end so they continued to talk and drank their drinks slowly "So when did you start being a carpenter?" Spencer asked, both of them had leaned in more their feets still hooked under the table. It was almost completely dark, the only light was by candles.
"When I was your age" Toby replied "I dropped out, out of high school my last year. I was bullied since my freshman year, after four year I was done with it all. They didn't listen to me when I stood up for myself so I told my dad that I wanted to be a carpenter, I didn't need to finish high school to be one all I needed was his support. At first he laughed but then he really looked at me, he saw that I was serious and that I didn't feel good anymore so he told me that if I was sure he'd give me his full support"
Spencer didn't know what to say. He seemed like such a wonderful person and then he was bullied for four years. Spencer had never been bullied, she was pretty popular, something she didn't ask for but pretty much everybody in school knew who she was, she didn't know how it felt to be bullied. The closest thing she had was not getting the attention she deserved from her family but that was nothing compared to Toby.
Spencer reached forward and took both his hands in hers and brushes her leg up and down his "I'm so sorry to hear that. But if it helps, bullys only bully people they are jealous of. They saw what a beautiful person you were and the only way they could feel better was bring you down and you showed them they couldn't. You're pretty damn strong" Spencer said softly and saw how something in Tobby's eyes change, he looked like he was younger and Spencer knew him good enough to know that it was the face he did before he flirted with her.
"Do you find strong men attractive?" He asked and stroked his thumbs over her knuckles, Spencer looked down at the table and shook her head while grinning "Very attractive" Spencer replied with her voice slightly raspier then normal. Toby looked at her lips and then her eyes again "I find you very attractive" He whispered and Spencer felt her heart beat faster by the second.
They just stared at each other until Spencer phone went off "Ugh, I'm so sorry" Spencer said and let go of his hands and picked up her phone "It's Hanna, I'll just call her back later" Spencer pressed the 'ignore' buttom and then saw what time it was "Oh god, I have to be back at the hotel in 20 minutes." Spencer didn't want the night to end, she hadn't had this fun such a long time. Toby nodded and called for the check.
Spencer took up her wallet but Toby stopped her "I got this" Toby said softly but Spencer shook her head "No, you don't have to pay, the 'guy pays for everything' rule isn't necessary" Toby laughed and took up his wallet "I want to, I'm the one that asked you on a date and decided where to go, then I should pay"
Spencer bit her lip and nodded "Fine, thanks"
After Toby paid they talked a little to Greta and Carl before they left, it was cold when they walked so Spencer wrapped her coat tighter around her "I'll walk you to your hotel, to make sure you're safe"
They walked back to Spencer's hotel and talked. When they passed Times square Toby stopped Spencer "Wait, stand still" He took a steps forward and took up his phone "I want a picture" He said and smiled and her "No, I look awful in pictures" Spencer said and covered her her face "There is no way you look bad in pictures, come on you need a picture from Times square before you leave, now shut up and suck it up"
Spencer laughed and took away her hands from her face and smiled at Toby while he took the picture "Perfect" He commented and they started walking again.
Then they were close enough to see the hotel Spencer started to walk slightly slower. "Can I walk you to your room? instead of just outside your hotel. I won't try anything, promise" Toby asked shyly, Spencer loved it when he got shy, he seemed so confident all the time so when he got shy it was so adorable
"Yeah, thanks" Toby smiled and they walked in to the hotel. "Wow, this is...fancy" Toby commented and followed Spencer to the elevators "Yeah, I know. My dad thought it would be nice to live in a extra clean up place since it's Taylors first time in New York" Spencer replied and Toby could hear that Spencer didn't like the 'over fancy' stuff
The elevator came and they walked in plus a little girl and her dad "You doesn't seem to agree" Toby pointed out and Spencer shrugg her shoulders "I think it's a waste of money. We don't need to walk on gold like my parents seem to think. I know I'm lucky that has all I have but I just think that we should do something better with the money sometimes instead of throwing it away on ourselfs" Toby didn't now what to say.
He was standing with a 18 year old that seemed smarter and purer then most people "That's- that's a really smart and sweet thing to say and notice"
Before Spencer could reply the elevators opened on the 19th floor. "Ladies first" Toby teased and Spencer stuck out her tounge to him.
"Here's my room" Spencer said and stopped "I had a really good time tonight, really I can't remember the last time I had this much fun" Spencer said, they were turned to each other, feet to feet, nose to nose "Yeah me too. Any chance that you'll let me take you out on more dates before you leave?" Toby asked and Spencer nodded "Of course, just text me when you can and I'll see if I can" Spencer replied softly "Tomorrow, it's my day of, do you want to go to the Emipre state building with me? I could pick you up at 11"
Spencer had been to the Emipre state building before but if she got a chance to see Toby she'd take it "Yeah, sounds good" "Great, then I'll be here tomorrow at 11, I'll pick you up here instead of outside the hotel" Spencer nodded and bit her lip, she knew that now they had to say goodbye "I'll see you tomorrow Toby" Before Spencer knew what was happening Toby held on to her waist "Did you really thin that this night would end without a kiss?" He teased and Spencer giggled, they both leaned in and kissed.
They kiss was soft, in was slow but not to slow, it was perfect for a first kiss. They kissed for about 10 seconds. Spencer smiled shyly and took up her room key from her bag. As soon as she opened the door Taylor came running to her "Spencie, I were gone!" She yelled and threw her arms around Spencer. Toby laughed and shook his head "I'll see you tomorrow Spencie" Toby said and Spencer laughed " Tomorrow" "Bye Taylor" Toby said and Taylor looked at him and smiled.
Spencer watched as Toby started walking away. She picked Taylor up and walked in to the room and saw Melissa on her computer "How was your date?" She asked and closed her computer "It was good. he's a really nice person. I'm meeting him tomorrow, he's taking me to see the Empire state building"
"We have dinner at Nana's tomorrow Spence" "I know but I'm seeing Toby during the day" Melissa nodded and stood up "Okey, then you better get some sleep now so you'll look awesome tomorrow"
Spencer nodded and walked in to their bathroom. She smiled to herself in the mirror. There was no way she'd be able to sleep any time soon.
So that's it, I'll post the next chapter next week I think, If I got time to write more. Please review and tell me what you think
