Why now?
I hope you all enjoy it :)
Info- T (just in case) They are a bit older in this maybe 16. In this Farkle , and Riley have both been single for awhile .
It was a typical Sunday afternoon , but Farkle loved these afternoons. This was the day he got to spend time with Riley one on one. He bathed in every second he got to just breathe her in. Noticing her forehead crease when she was thinking to hard which he couldn't help , but smile at. Most of the time Farkle ended up finishing his homework before he came over then pretended like he was just so that wouldn't take away from his time. One day he hoped he would fall out of love with Riley Matthews , but more then anything He hoped they could be together.
"Farkle?" Riley said softly putting her book down as she turned her head towards Farkle.
"Yes?" Farkle put his eyes on hers letting her know she had his full attention.
"Do you know Blake?" Riley twirled her pencil as she spoke.
"I mean I know of him…He's in your math class right?" Farkle sounded super confused.
"Yes he is , and he kinda sorta asked me out yesterday"Riley sounded nervous ,telling Farkle.
"Oh" Farkle tried hard to say something else or at least sound happy . He just couldn't muster it up . He figured he had more time to try to get her since they we're both finally single at the same time. Just my luck though I'm always one step behind when it comes to Riley. He would support though as always. "So did you say yes?"
Riley shook her head while reaching over closing his book as well then she remove it from his lap putting it next to him. " I said no"
Farkle watched her actions wondering what she was up too as he tried to reach for his book "Hey I was doing my homework you know , and Why did you say no Riley . You deserve to go out with someone."
"No you weren't" He didn't know that a few weeks ago she had started to see him in a different way too. Which in turn made her realize he was never really coming over for homework. She pushed the book further away then smiled at him before sliding herself onto his lap wrapping her hands around his neck.
"Rrrr.." He stuttered feeling speechless his heart in his throat making him feel like his lungs had ceased to work. Riley matthews! was on his LAP! In all of her beautiful Glory she was for some reason holding him in a way only reserved for people who are dating. He stared at her intensely his mind racing on what to do next "Riley…Why now?" He kept trying to add it up in his head , and he hoped he didn't ruin it. He just needed to know how he was all sudden here in this moment with Riley after so many years of getting nothing in return.
"Because when Blake asked me out . I went in to RileyTown , and I tried to imagine a date with him. Though anything I thought of instead of Blake it was you. I had been slowly picking up on things you we're doing , and I think that is when I started to fall in love with you. Blake asking me out just solidified that you are my person Farkle. I am so sorry it took me so long to figure out , and I hope I'm not to late." Riley could of swore her heartbeat had stopped as she waited for Farkle to respond.
"It never would of been to late Riley. I've always known you were my Pluto. You stole my heart in the first grade , and since then I've always been yours." Farkle slipped his arm around Riley's waist pulling her closer as he went in to kiss her. When Riley tilted her head too he sucked up all of his nerves , and leaned forward Kissing Riley. It had finally happened. He was hers , and she was his.
