A Love We Deserve-Toby & Aria

Chapter 23

Aria's POV:

I walk outside of Spencer's house closing the door behind me. I take out my phone and text Toby telling him I'm on my way back. I'm about to leave when I hear a vibrate. I look down and see Spencer's phone, it's ringing. I pick it up, I didn't mean to look at who is calling, but I couldn't help it. That number. I've seen that number before. I've called that number, I've used that number,my mouth goes dry. Why is Ezra calling Spencer from his house phone? I place the phone on the ground where I found and try to pretend like I saw nothing. I run to my car, start the engine and speed to Toby's loft. When I finally get there, I open up the door. I don't see Toby. He walks out of his room smiling. "You're back! If I didn't hear from you I was going to send a rescue team." I hear a ring from the kitchen. "After I got your text I made fresh popcorn." I try to put that call out of my mind and be happy. "You didn't start the movie without me? Did you?" I take off my shoes and drop my jacket and bag on the table. He walks over to me with the fresh popcorn in a bowl in his right hand and kisses me "Of course not" he smiles at me, I can't help but smile back. We walk over to the couch, he hand me the popcorn bowl while he gets the remote and turns off the lights. He sits next to me while hitting play. I feel him place his arm around me.

**About 30 minutes into the movie**

One fourth of the popcorn is gone, the bowl is on my lap while my legs are across his lap, with my left arm around him and his right arm around me. I'm resting my head on his shoulder and trying to focus on the movie. He moves his shoulder slightly, like he wants me to move. I look up at him to see him staring down at me. We inch closer until our lips touch, I feel his left hand is now on my waist. I place my right hand above his heart and begin to slide it up until I feel his cheek. I can feel that we are about to change positions. He gently glides me off of his lap and laying me down on the couch. Our lips only separate for some air. The bowl falls off the couch and we both jump a little, apparently we both forgot it was there. We both laugh a little. I'm getting this strange sensation, like someone is watching me, us. He starts kissing my neck when I open my eye a little seeing a black hoodie outside the window...
