Chapter 20

Toby stops playing and holds the guitar steady on his lap. Spencer stares back at him like she's in a daze. His heart is racing more than it was when he started playing. Right now his forehead has beads of sweat dripping down it and his hands are shaky. He doesn't take her eyes off her. Spencer lifts up her right hand and touches his face. He swallows as she starts leaning in, he soon follows her movements. The second he closes his eyes, he feels her lips on his. Her lips moved against his in a soft graze. Cupping her face with his hands, Toby deepens the kiss. Spencer uses her free hand to hold the back of his head, bringing his head down more to her level.

Time passed by, and before they knew it, they were laying back on his couch making out like there was no tomorrow. He was laying underneath her with his hands on her waist. Spencer laid above running her hands up and down his chest, and through his hair and down his face. They never kissed like this before. Toby wonders where this puts them, but he's too afraid to stop this and ask. He doesn't want it to end. Spencer doesn't seem to want it to end either. A few minutes ago, when he pulled back a fraction of an inch, Spencer captured his bottom lip between her lips and brought him back in, and they haven't stopped kissing since.

Ezra went on a double date with Aria along with Caleb and Hanna. Now, they're heading to Toby's apartment to see if he wants to hang out with them. They swung by Spencer's house earlier to find out if she wanted to come too, but she wasn't home. Ezra lead the way up to Toby's apartment.

"I didn't know Toby lived in an apartment building," Hanna said.

"He wanted to keep his living space small and easy to clean," Ezra said.

"Are you sure we should interfere with his plans?" Aria said. "I mean, what if he's busy doing something?"

"He's not," Ezra said. "Last I heard, Toby was staying home tonight doing nothing."

"I wish Spencer was coming with us," Hanna said.

"I've tried calling her twice tonight and she hasn't answered," Aria said.

Hanna groaned, "where could she be?"

"I don't know."

The girls and Caleb stood back while Ezra unlocked the door to Toby's apartment then walked inside. Aria, Hanna, and Caleb followed Ezra inside the apartment. The apartment is kind of dark. There's one little lamp on behind the couch.

"Hey, Toby, what's going ON..."

Ezra stopped mid-sentence when he saw the couple making out on the couch. Toby accidentally bit Spencer's lip when they pulled away. They sat up on the couch with their hair messed up and their closed tattered up. Standing right in the entrance of the living room is Ezra along with Aria, Hanna, and Caleb. Hanna steps in front of Ezra.

"Oh my god," she gasps.

"What's going on here?" Ezra asked.

"Um, uh," Spencer and Toby both stuttered and looked at each other.

"Toby was choking on something!" Spencer shouted.

"Right," Toby backed her up. "And Spencer was giving me CPR."

"That was some intense CPR," Caleb said.

Hanna smacked Caleb's chest and said, "she wasn't giving him CPR you idiot, they were making out."

"Oh," Caleb nodded. "Nope, that still doesn't sound right."

Aria walked over and sat in one of the chairs.

"You guys, what is going on?" She asks. "First Spencer hated him, then you guys got along, then you hated each other, then you guys became friends, and now here you two are making out on the couch."
