Hi again,
So a note on tenses....
To figure out the tense you need, you must look for the time modifier for the given verb, i.e., a description of when that action takes place. Any time modifier that indicates a specific point in time in the past indicates the past simple.
Thus words like in, on, at, ago, last, and when, since they point to specific points, indicate the past simple.
Ex. I studied dance when I was 5.
The past perfect is used not just to indicate that one action happened before another, but to indicate that one action happened in the deep past relative to a point in time in the past.
Ex. I had studied dance for many years before deciding to become a basketball player.

'Spoke with' means have a conversation. 'Spoke to' means the other party is just listening (no two way conversation) and it is also used in american english to mean an unfriendly conversation. Both are correct idioms.
But since the context here is unfriendly conversation (heated discussion), 'spoke to' is more appropriate.
