Jealousy at its finest

Chapter 3

Toby's POV

What the hell happened when I was in the bathroom? How much could have possibly gone down in that two minutes I was gone? Well whatever it was I know it was something between Spencer and Wren, because everyone else is still talking and acting normal. I don't like this Wren guy. He's just a man whore, who wants to get in Spencer's pants. Well I for one will NOT let that happen. I will fight to the death for her and definitely won't lose her to someone like him! I'm just gonna have to make that more obvious to Wren, now won't I.

After our food came and the check was paid for, we all sat around chatting for a little bit and I couldn't help but notice Wren checking out Spencer. God, he is such a desperate little scum...

"Oh god. No mom don't be ridiculous, Peter and I will come over as soon as possible." Veronica's voice shook me out of my thoughts. I looked around confused. Spencer saw my confusion and went on to explain what was going on.

"My grandma's basement flooded, so my parents have to go help her." She explained. I hadn't even noticed the storm that had started up until now. It was pretty intense. And thunder and lightening started to strike. A big thunder boomed outside and I saw Spencer jump a little in her seat. I snickered to myself and rubbed her hand to calm her down.

"Well guys, Peter and I have to get going, but you're welcome to stay here."

Veronica said to the four of us. "Or you can go back to the house, we hired a town car to take you home, since a limo isn't really necessary for four people.

It's outside behind ours," and with that, she and Peter were out the door, huddled under an umbrella as they ran towards their town car.

After a few minutes Melissa spoke up, "Well let's just head out then, I don't really want to stay here anyway," she said. We all nodded in agreement and headed towards the door. "Please tell me someone has an umbrella..." Melissa whined. We all exchanged glances and realized we didn't.

"Well here goes nothing," Spencer muttered. She grabbed my hand and we ran towards the car.

"Toby you must take the front!" Wren insisted. I shook my head as kindly as I could and gestured for him to get in.

"No, no, you take it please." I insisted. He was not going to be in the back of a small car possibly next to Spencer.

"No this is nonsense. Please, please, I want you to have the front," He said, in his annoying British accent.

"I'M NOT GONNA STAND HERE WHILE YOU TWO BE ALL GENTLEMANLY AND CRAP!" Melissa screamed, being pelted with rain. She quickly jumped into the front, ending our conflict of who was going to sit there. Spencer was clinging onto me, her grip getting tighter which each thunder boom. I chuckled and picked her up gently. I set her in the window seat, with me in the middle. Then Wren climbed in. Great.

"Maybe Spencer should sit in the middle since she's the smallest," Wren said.

Well isn't he just so subtle.

"Ohmygod, no. They're fine back there, just please drive," Melissa said to the driver.

Spencer didn't even bothering to respond to Wren's comment; she just curled up into my chest, whimpering slightly. She was soaking wet, poor baby. I put my arm around her in an attempt to warm her up, but I was soaking too. I saw Wren's jealous glare out of the corner of my eye. Yeah, let him stare.

The ride home was a bit longer than the way there, about 45 minutes. The storm made it a little tougher to drive. By the time we got to the house Spencer was fast asleep. I gently picked her up in my arms and held her tight against my chest. I was trying to protect her from the pelting rain, but it didn't work.

When we got inside Melissa ran to the bathroom and I started up the stairs with

Spencer cuddled into me. Wren cleared his throat and I turned around.

"Don't drop her, wouldn't wanna damage anything that special," Wren sneered. If

Spencer wasn't asleep in my arms I would've beat the crap out of Wren. But I kept my peace, for now at least. I knew this Wren guy wasn't so great. He just wants what he can't get.

"Don't worry Wren, I can take care of my girlfriend," I spit out. I kissed the top of Spencer's head and smirked at him, then continued up the stairs.

We got into Spencer's room and I lightly shook her wake. "Spence, come you gotta take a bath or shower." Her eyes opened slowly and she groaned, but got up anyway.

"Come with me?" she asked with sleep in her voice.

"Okay, fine." I agreed. I didn't want her to fall asleep and drown, so I agreed. We walked into the bathroom and I turned on the bath while she sat on the pink bench in her bathroom. As the tub was filling up I gently stripped off Spencer's soaking clothes and then mine. We'd seen each other naked many times. But this time it was for a completely different reason. When the bath was filled up I gently picked Spencer up and set in her and sat behind her.

Spencer's POV

I felt myself being placed in the warm water and my eyes shot open in shock, until I felt Toby get in behind me. My eyes drifted shut and I leaned myself into him.

After a few moments of silence and us enjoying each other's presence, I felt Toby start to gently massage shampoo into my hair. God, he is so perfect. He took the showerhead and detached it, washed the shampoo off then conditioned my hair and rinsed that off too. I couldn't contain my emotions and turned around to harshly kiss him. He kissed back, but not as fiercely.

"Spence, it's late babe." He reminded me.

"I know, I just couldn't resist you." I smiled. He chuckled and rinsed the body wash off of me, then rinsed the shampoo out of his hair.

After we both got out, he wrapped me into a towel and wrapped another one around his waist. I snuggled into his chest and we just stood there for a little bit drying off.

He put on a pair of pants and I put on his big shirt. I always liked it better than my clothes.

"Okay, come with me to get water? Then we can go to sleep." I asked sleepily.

"Of course I'll come with you, I wouldn't risk you and Wren being alone together," he said, semi-jokingly. I smacked him playfully and headed for the door, when I felt his arm around me. Hey lifted me off the ground, bridal style, with ease and held me close to his chest.

"Tobyyyy!" I shrieked, "Let. Me. Down!" He kissed my forehead and I suddenly felt overcome with tiredness and yawned.

"Hmm... No. I don't want to. What if you fall asleep on the way down? My princess is tired," he joked and pressed a light kiss to my lips. I giggled and he began walking downstairs. As he stepped off the last step, I draped my arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. He kissed back and we heard someone in the kitchen clear their throat. We turned our heads and saw someone staring at us.

"Oh, hi Wren," Toby said. I could tell he was enjoying showing me off to Wren, but I didn't mind one bit. I was Toby's. Forever and always.
