Almost Is Never Enough {Spoby Fanfic}

Chapter 8

After finally settling into the loft with Toby, I was exhausted. But it was worth it. I didn't have to move to stupid London with my family. Hopefully they would take their drama with them.

I walked into the living room to see Toby sitting there with the TV on. I smiled to myself. I loved it when he looked peaceful. It made me feel like that, too.

I sat next to him, and he smiled exhaustingly. "How's it going?" He asked.

"Well, great considering what could've happened." I responded.

"I can't even think about that right now. Just the thought of you leaving me for that long makes me nauseous. I'm just glad that I made it to you in time." He said.

I smiled. "Yeah, me too. I couldn't think of a better place to be."

He smirked. "Yeah. It's good to have you all to myself."

"Mm." I groaned.

He smiled and leaned in for a kiss. It finally felt like an actual kiss with Toby; all the other kisses for the past two months with him felt forced. But finally I could feel the way our lips matched each other perfectly. Too bad we couldn't stay kissing forever. Kissing him made me feel like I was finally me again.

I kissed him back, not wanting to pull away. He brought me closer to him, putting his arm around me after he pulled away.

I cuddled next to him while his head rested on mine. We stayed silent for a while.

"So," he broke the silence, "are you ready for your party tonight?"

I looked at him, confused. He smiled.

"Looks like I'll have to tell you: we're throwing you a party since you're staying in Rosewood. It was Emily's idea. But we all went along with it."

My smile spread across my face. "Really?! Awe, that's amazing! You guys didn't have to..."

"But we wanted to. And trust me, you're definitely a person worth celebrating for."

I wrapped my arms around him and gave him a huge kiss. "But what am I going to wear?"

"Is it up to me?" He asked.

I nodded. "Yes. You pick something."

"Yes, ma'am." He said.

He got up to pick something from his closest-our closet-leaving me on the couch.

I really did have amazing friends. Life was finally starting to be good again. I only hoped it would stay that way. But in this town, who knew?

He came back with a tan, strapless dress. "This is perfect." He said.

I smiled. "Okay, if you say so."

I got up, and grabbed the dress from him, giving him a light kiss on the cheek before going to the bathroom.

When I put it over my head, and looked in the mirror, I smiled at myself. He was right. It was perfect.

I applied some makeup on my face, and combed threw my hair.

I walked out of the room to see Toby picking himself out a shirt to wear. He was shirtless. That's not distracting... of course it wasn't.

"Hey, Spence. Should I wear a T-shirt or button-down?" He asked.

I was too busy staring to notice what he said. "Spencer...?!"

"Huh, yeah... what was that?"

He laughed. "T-shirt or button-down?"

"Oh! Um... I guess, umm... the uh, T-shirt is fine." I said, still staring.

He smiled. He threw the button-down on the floor. He slowly put on his Tshirt. Ugh, what a tease! Now I could see his abbs reflecting in the moon light.

When he finally put it all the way on, he put his hand through his long hair. I loved his hair like that. Especially when he would run his hands through it.

He looked at me in the reflection of the mirror. "You look beautiful, by the way."

"Look who's talking..." I murmured.

"Huh?" He asked.

"Oh, nothing. Thanks."

He smiled. "You're welcome."

He turned around to face me, lacing his fingers through mine. He gave me a light kiss on my lips giving me goosebumps. I was so glad we could actually kiss again. I kissed him hardly back, wrapping my arms around him. He pulled me closer to him. To tease me even more, he pulled away. "Mm. We better get going. Don't want you to be late at your own party."

I groaned. "Ugh, I would actually be happy just staying here with you."

"Well, we can have our alone time later.." He said.

"What do you mean by alone time?" I asked.

He laughed. "Nothing, Spencer."

I smirked, then we made our way to his truck. It reminded me of the time we both said I love you to each other. It seemed like yesterday.

On the way to the party, all I could think about was how lucky I was. Having an amazing boyfriend like Toby was really all I wanted for as long as I could remember. I'm so happy I'll have him forever.

Short chapter, I know :( But hope you guys liked it!
