Here I am again with a new chapter!
Chapter 3: New subject…Please
"Tom! Tom, can you help Mark and Chris unload the truck!?" Toby shouted to his crewmember. "I'm going to set up the power saw."
Across the yard in the Hastings backyard, Spencer lounged around the pool with her friends: Aria Montgomery, Emily Fields, Hanna Marin, and Alison DiLaurentis. Hanna had her Bluetooth speakers blaring pop music. Emily sat reading a magazine and Aria was sipping her lemonade. Alison soaked in the rays in peace. The noise from the construction crew did not bother them. In fact, for three out of five of the ladies it was quite a show. Some of the men worked with their shirts off. One guy really caught their attention, especially Spencer's.
"Wow, Spence," said Hanna. "You hired a good crew."
"I know," said Spencer. "It's been two days and they've already stripped down the place for a complete remodel."
"I meant they're a group of fine-looking men," said Hanna.
"He has an eight-pack," Aria said, pointing at Toby.
Spencer's eyes fell on Toby. Her eyes moved over his abdominal section. She watched his biceps flex while he carried several pieces of plywood over to a table. Toby dropped the wood down on the floor then looked up. When Toby spotted her, he waved. Spencer immediately blushed then looked down.
"I saw that," Alison teased.
"Spencer you are blushing!" said Hanna.
Spencer put her hands on her cheeks, "it's just hot out here, that's all."
"It sure is," said Aria. "What's his name?"
Spencer looked back up to find Toby busy cutting up wood.
"Toby," Spencer answered. "Toby Cavanaugh he's the boss."
"He can come over to my house and do some work for me any day," said Hanna.
"Is he nice?" Emily asked.
"I've only talked to him a few times," said Spencer. "But he seemed nice the times we did speak."
"If I didn't already have a boyfriend I would…" Aria began to say, but Spencer cut her off.
"Enough gawking over the crew, guys!"
"Okay," said Aria.
"Geez, Spence, what's the big deal? We're just talking," said Hanna.
"Well, he's trying to do his job and you all are thirsting over him," said Spencer. "How would you like it if those guys talked about us?"
"Maybe Toby is over there talking about you," Alison teased.
"Spencer would love that," said Hanna. "I think she has a crush on that carpenter."
"He could climb into your sheets," Aria teased.
Spencer rolled her eyes, "shut up. I'm engaged, remember?"
"That's right you are engaged," said Emily.
"And how is your British fiancé?" Alison asked.
"He's been very stressed out lately," said Spencer.
"Being a doctor can do that," said Emily.
"I've been wondering about this," said Hanna. "Have you two had sex yet? You never give us any dirty details."
"You mean have I used those sex heels you sent to me," said Spencer. "I haven't used the heels, but yes, Wren and I have had sex."
"It was bad, wasn't it?" said Hanna.
"Why would you assume it was bad?" Spencer asked.
"How long ago did you first sleep together?" Hanna asked.
"The night we got engaged."
"Two weeks ago," said Aria
"Uh-oh," said Hanna.
"Uh-oh?" Spencer questioned. "Why the uh-out?"
"Like Hanna said, it was clearly bad for you," said Alison. "If the sex had been good, you would be glowing about it."
"It wasn't bad, okay," said Spencer. "It was fine. It's just I didn't… he didn't you know."
"He didn't perform well?" said Aria.
"I didn't finish okay," Spencer admitted.
"Yikes," said Hanna.
"Okay, this discussion is over," said Spencer. "Let's find a new subject that isn't my sex life."
"Well, if Wren is bad in bed, at least you know you could have a backup if you wanted." Hanna smirked, looking between Spencer and Toby, who was working across the field.
Spencer glared at her friend, but all Hanna did was laugh.
What's a Spoby story without the girls teasing Spencer? Do you think Spencer has a strong crush on Toby? Let me know your thoughts by writing a comment. Please and thank you. I will be back soon with a new chapter. -Mellie
