Jealousy at its finest

Chapter 9

Spencer's POV

"Today's Sunday. Our last day until my parents come back and I have to go to school and you work." I informed him.

"Hmm, then let's make the most of it." He said, his hands caressing my sides. I nodded, kissed his cheek then hopped off the bed.

I headed for my closet and picked out my clothes. I decided on dark wash skinny jeans, a white lacy top and tall brown boots. I quickly got changed and headed for the bathroom.

As I was putting on my makeup I felt Toby's strong arms wrap around my waist. I leaned into him for a minute before pulling away. "Hey, I need to finish putting on my makeup!" I chastised him playfully.

Toby smiled and kissed my neck from behind. "You're beautiful without makeup, babe." He whispered.

I turned to face him with a bewildered look on my face, "How can you possibly say that? I look hideous!"

"Because I love you," he responded. I laughed and turned back around applying the rest of my mascara. Toby gently rubbed my waist one last time before going back into my room and sitting in the red chair, taking out a book in the process. He knows how long it takes me to get ready so he made himself comfortable. After finishing my makeup it was time to tackle my hair. Well at this point, it pretty much looked like an abandoned birds nest. After endless minutes of yanking at my hair, with not much success, I gave up. Huffing loudly I plopped myself on my bed.

"Spence, come here." Toby beckoned. I looked up at him exasperated, but his face was too sweet to turn down. I wearily got up and sat in his lap, still frustrated with my hair situation. Toby gently took the brush from my hand and carefully ran it through my hair, getting out all the knots and tangles. After a while, the brush was running smoothly through my hair.

"Never thought I'd meet a person with more talents then me... but then you waltzed into my life, Mr. Cavanaugh." I teased playfully, turning in his arms and kissing his nose lightly.

"I wouldn't be complete without you." He reasoned. I smiled and stood up from his lap, taking his hand. I grabbed my purse and Toby grabbed his wallet and we headed downstairs.

"So where are we going exactly?" I asked Toby.

"Let's just play it by ear and go wherever we want. We have the whole day, just the two of us. We can go all over." Toby suggested, taking the keys from me and heading towards the car.

"Heyy! Who said you could drive mister!" I exclaimed chasing after him.

After Toby jumped into the drivers seat and locked the doors, I faked angriness and climbed into the passengers seat. "Where are we going exactly...?" I asked innocently, trying to coax it out of him.

"You'll seeee," he said in a singsong voice. I smacked him lightly, but he caught my hand, intertwining it with his. We chitchatted the rest of the way there, until we pulled up to a place I wasn't familiar with.

"Where are we?" I questioned. Toby didn't respond, he just got out and walked around to open my door. He interlaced our fingers and led me towards a beautiful fountain. We sat down on a bench facing it as Toby wrapped an arm around my shoulders, drawing me closer.

Now, I don't know if I'm just paranoid or overprotective or what, but I swear every girl checked Toby out at least once. Everything I saw a girl looking at him I made sure to nuzzle his neck or kiss him passionately.

...Toby was right. I was jealous of Jessica yesterday. Wow, I'm really protective of Toby. Oh god, is this a bad thing?

"What are you thinking about baby?" Toby asked with a raised eyebrow.

I looked up at him unsure, but decided I needed to be completely honest with Toby. I love him too much to lie.

"Am I too overprotective...? Like, do I come off as a jealous girlfriend? Do people think I'm crazy? Oh god, I'm just a paranoid freak aren't I? Why do you even -" Toby's lips cut me off.

The kiss was gently and sweet, nothing rough. I get worked up way too easily...

"Sweetheart? Breathe. Okay? Just calm down, Spence." Toby whispered. I took a few breaths and looked into his gorgeous eyes. "Spencer, you are perfect. I love you for who you are. Regardless of if that's a crazy paranoid, overprotective freak. You're my crazy paranoid, overprotective freak and I wouldn't have it any other way."

I stared at the floor as I let his words sink in. He was the perfect one. My train of thought was broken as I felt Toby move to stand up, pulling me with him. He stroked my waist and looked into my eyes, trying to gauge my feelings. I smiled and kissed him hard. As we pulled away I saw all the girls staring at us, jealous. That's right girls; I'm Toby's paranoid, overprotective freak. And I wouldn't have it any other way.

Toby's POV

I led Spencer towards a bridge surrounded by beautiful, sparkling water. The day could not have been more perfect and I couldn't believe how lucky I was that I had the whole day with Spencer. She stopped in awe and went to the edge of the bridge, looking out. I slowly came up behind her and stuck my hands in her front pockets. She giggled and loosely slung her arms around my neck, behind her. We just stood there for a while, enjoying the view, the weather but mostly each other's presence.

"Let's just stay here forever and ever." Spencer begged. I sighed in contentment and pressed my lips against the back of her head.
