Back to Me

Better than Coffee

I got into the truck and headed right over to Spencer's. Jenna wanted to go to Philly to visit an old friend. Our parents were busy so of course I had to take her. After spending an entire day with Jenna I needed to get away from her, and I needed to get to Spencer.

It had been about a month since Spencer and I made up. We had put what happened behind us and we were pretty much back to normal. Or as Hanna kept saying, we were back to being an insanely-adorable couple. But this time we were trying harder to communicate better.

When I got to Spencer's I went through the back door as usual. I was surprised to find Melissa in the kitchen.

"Hi, Toby," She greeted me and then went back to cooking.

"Hi, Melissa, I didn't know you we here." I said just to make small talk.

"I decided to come down and visit for the weekend. I've been staying in the barn. But there's hardly any food in there and I'm having pregnancy cravings." She told me. "Sorry, I'm rambling and you probably don't care."

"Uh, it's fine. Um, do you know where Spencer is?"

"Oh yeah, she's upstairs. She went up to take a shower but she should be done by now."

"Thanks." I nodded to her and then went upstairs.

I opened the door to Spencer's room and saw her sitting on her bed. She was brushing her hair and I noticed that she was wearing a very familiar blue shirt.

"Hey, Spence,"

"Toby, hey, I missed you." She told me and a smile appeared on her face.

"I was only gone for one day, Spence." I laughed as I sat down next to her.

She placed her brush down on the bed, wrapped her arms around my waist, and laid her head on my shoulder.

"Yeah, but you were with Jenna the whole time so I was worried."

"I wasn't my first choice on how to spend my day but I survived. And I found out some useful information that could help us." I told her.

"What did you find out?" She immediately asked which didn't surprise me. "And I'm glad you survived and that you're here now."

"I'll tell you in a minute. But first I have to ask you something."

"What's that?" She asked and this time she raised her head in curiosity.

"You know that's my shirt right?"

"Yeah, and you're never getting back." She told me with a smile and her arms tightened around me.

"I don't want it back. You look better in it than I do." I told her and then leaned down to kiss her.

She kissed back and we sat there together on her bed for several minutes before we pulled apart to catch our breath.

"So, what did you find out?"

"Spence, come on, I just spent all day with Jenna. I want to relax a little and spend time with you before I start a possibly long conversation about Jenna and Garrett." I sighed.

"Alright, I'll wait." She sighed with complete exaggeration. "What do you want to do?"

"We can continue what we were doing a few seconds ago." I suggested.

"Hmmm, I think I can agree to that."

Her lips reconnected with mine as I leaned back against the pillows with her on top of me. My shirt came off rather quickly like it usually did and my hand got tangled in her long brown hair.
