Keep Me Safe

Chapter 40

The next day, Spencer's family as well as Toby's arrived. After lunch with Peter, Veronica, Melissa, Liam, and 4 year-old Jade, Toby and Spencer spent the evening at the hotel bar with Aria, Ezra, Paige, Emily, Hanna, Travis, and Mike. They had a few too many drinks which led to a heated make-out session in the back of a taxi.

Now it was January 9th, the day before the wedding, and perhaps an even busier day than the wedding day itself. There were plenty of things in store, including dress fittings, rehearsal dinner, and bachelorette and bachelor parties.

Spencer woke up, feeling a tad bit hungover, finding Toby asleep next to her. His hair was a mess and there were dark circles under his eyes, but he was still the most precious thing in the world to her. After glancing at the clock, Spencer noticed that it was 11:30. This left her a half hour to prepare for the day, and knowing her friends, they would be showing up at her door 15 minutes prior to the scheduled time.

After buttoning up her shirt and pulling on her jeans, she heard a soft groan from behind her.

"What year is it?" Toby joked.

"I think you'll be limited your alcohol intake tonight mister," Spencer reminded him. "I don't need you stumbling up the aisle with me after we're married."

"I'm going to make breakfast. What would you like?" Toby asked as he stood up.

"I have to leave, I have dress fittings with the girls."

"Right, I guess we slept in."

"Yeah, so I'll see you at rehearsal then? Sober up before then, kay?"

"See you then. And I will."

At that moment, a loud ding sounded from the front of the house, signaling her friends' arrival. She skipped to the door and let them in.

After embracing each one, Spencer grabbed a travel mug of coffee, she and her three friends piled into her gray pathfinder and sped in the direction of the bridal shop.
