Loving Toby (Completed)

Chapter 3

"Lulu, why are we cooking tempura for dinner when we both know that mom is allergic to Shrimp?"

"Exactly. Mom will spend the night at Granny's until Sunday so we can eat a lot of shrimp cause she's not around."

Now that Luna thinks about it, their mother did say something about spending the weekend with their grandmother in Seattle. Surviving the first week of Senior Year calls for a celebration, and with their mother gone for the weekend, Caleb was more than willing to cook for their dinner.

Luna was busy munching on her left over pizza from last night dinner when the doorbell rang.

"Are you expecting someone?" She gave her brother a knowing glance, but Caleb quickly brushed her off. Luna unwillingly walked to the door, leaving her pizza alone.

"You look lovely tonight, Babe," the sight of Athena and Lexus with their big backpacks caught her completely off guard.

"I know, but why are you hear and what's with those bags?" she asked in confusion, racking her brains for potential plans that she might have forgotten but nothing comes to mind.

"I told you she has completely forgotten about that," Athena commented making Lexus sigh in disappointment.

"What did I forget?"

"I really shouldn't talk to you when you're with Toby 'cause all you ever did was zoned out and forgot every conversation that doesn't include Tobias Cooper!" Lexus ranted playfully as she smiled sheepishly at him.

"So, what did I forget?" Luna asked innocently, as her friends walked inside the house.

"Is Lulu home?" Lexus was quick to roam the house in search of her brother.

"Did you come here for Lulu or me?"

"You of course but Lulu is just a bonus" he grinned, and Luna just rolled her eyes at him. Resuming her place on the couch, she settled for Lucifer's season 1 replay. Though she finished the whole season already, it's better than settling for Sports Chanel when she can't even understand a thing about sports.

"Luna? Set the table now!" She heard Lulu but she was too focused on watching Lucifer Morningstar as her two best friends settled next to her and helped her with the leftover pizza.

"Luna Eliana Maximilian Greene!" Luna was running straight to the dining hall as fast as she could before Caleb called her for the third time. Caleb was holding the pan on his hand while throwing her a not-so subtle glare.

"Caleb my Loves!" The annoyed expression on her face immediately turned into fright as he saw Lexus already running towards him.

Athena went straight to the chair next to him and completely ignoring the struggle of her brother as Lexus squeezed him with his huge body. Caleb Louise Greene may be the Quarterback for the Bulldog of Bridgewood High, but with Lexus around, he looks just like a squirming doll in his arms.

"Luna get your friend out of me!" Caleb's pleading face was just the cutest! But knowing that he'll definitely kill her if she doesn't get Lexus away from him immediately, she has no other choice but to cut her entertainment short.

"Stop that already Lexus, I'm hungry," Lexus did not need to be told twice as they joined Athena on the dining table.

"This is really good Caleb," Athena wasn't exaggerating, Caleb could cook pretty well and it was one of the reason why her friends enjoy hanging out on their place especially if her brother was around.

"Thanks squirrel,"

"Stop calling me that dumbass,"

"Luna your friend called me dumb ass,"

"Babe, your brother won't stop teasing me,"

"Just let me eat in peace will you?" she snapped, snatching another pair of tempura. Putting Caleb and Athena on one room was never a good idea. The two just won't stop teasing each other that it was getting annoying at times.

"By the way why are you here? I don't think Luna said something about plans for Friday night," Luna nodded remembering her first question when she saw the two outside their door.

"Well, your sister completely forgotten about our little escapade to my cousin's newly opened resort! We're staying there for the weekend, so twins go pack your things now! Chop chop!" She didn't have much time to completely absorb everything that Lexus said before she felt Athena's hand pulling her away from her seat and her now unfinished tempura.

Half an hour later, the twins were stuck with Athena and Lexus outside their house while waiting for their so-called service. Lexus did the honor of asking permission from their parents while Athena stuff their bags with everything that she could find in their messy drawers. It was a pretty chaotic time and Caleb was not amused at all.

"So, who's this so-called service? We've been outside the house for 15 minutes!" her brother was anything but patient, it wouldn't surprise her if Caleb went back inside the house if the so-called service won't appear in the next five minutes.

"Just wa- oh there they are!"

A black Toyota Fortuner stopped in front of their house.

"We're here! Sorry for coming late my gorgeous and handsome friends!" France's joyous voice brought a smile to Luna's face; after all, there is no way in hell that he will be left out of an adventure!

They rushed inside the car but before Luna could go inside, someone else was already dozing off by the window. Tobias Cooper was sleeping in peace with his earphones on, he was there wearing a pair of gray sweatshirts and pants, looking adorable for Luna to stare at.

"Luna are you just going to stare at Toby's sleeping face or are you going to get your ass inside and sit next to him!? We need to get to our destination before midnight!"

"What?" She asked absentmindedly, Lexus, Athena, France, and her brother Caleb groaned in unison.

"Get in the freaking car Luna Eliana!"

Luna was so lost in Toby's presence that it took her a while to realized that they were now on the road. Caleb was seating on the backseat with Athena, much to her surprise. Lexus and France occupying the front seats as they chatted with the latest episode of America's Next Top Model.

"Just take a photo of him, will you?" Caleb suggested nonchalantly.

"You are really the better twin," she replied with a wink, pulling her phone and started taking photos of Toby's sleeping face. The boy could sleep anywhere so Luna wasn't worried about him waking up suddenly. Satisfied with herself and her little antic, Luna carefully grabbed Toby's left earphone and put it on her right ear as she settled her head on his shoulder. The sound of State Champs playing on repeat as she let herself drift to sleep with Toby's soft breathing matching the uneven rhythm of her heart.
