You know what's not fun? Being with a guy who makes you laugh and gives you the feeling of butterflies in your stomach. Or a guy who has seen you, happy, sad and angry and still sticks around. Or guy who knows your favorite food, your favorite book, and every little thing about you. Or being with a guy who knows the difference between your 'I'm hungry attitude' or your 'I'm pissed off' attitude. A guy who makes you feel like you're on cloud nine every time you're around him. A guy who gets along with your family and friends. Being with a guy who knows when mother nature visits and doesn't ignore you for a week till she leaves and but instead brings you're the Advil and heating pad to help ease the pain. Or a guy who will come to your house with soup when you're sick, or a guy who you can just stay up all night with and talk about everything and anything. Or being with a guy who calls you 'baby' in a way that gives you goose bumps and butterflies in your stomach every time he says it. You know why it's not fun? It's not fun because, even though you found the perfect guy, he's technically not yours. There's no boyfriend- girlfriend label, even though there's no one I rather be with than him. Why, you ask? Why aren't we official? I honestly don't freaking know. Maybe you should ask Mr. Lucas Friar himself. When you find out, can you fill me in? Cause, this is getting ridiculous.

AFTER SCHOOL (Riley's POV)

I make my way towards my locker where I know Maya is waiting for me

'And apparently the whole high school basketball team' I laugh as I notice that the whole Abigail Adams basketball team is next to my locker, talking amongst themselves while Maya just rolls her eyes in boredom with whatever conversation their having.

Maya is the first one to notice me when I starting opening my locker. "Hey honey." Maya greets, happily removing herself from the team's conversation.

"Hey Peaches." I say smiling at her, "We still on for shopping?" I ask, as I start putting my books in my locker.

"Hell yeah!" Maya exclaims "I need a new outfit for my date with Josh." Maya says beaming with Joy.

So, Maya and Uncle Josh have been dating for a year now, and even though there's a year difference between them, her being a senior in high school and uncle Josh being a Freshman in college, (AN:/ I know its 3 years, but work with me here haha) It still didn't stop their connection they have with one another.

"He's gonna love you in anything Maya and you know it." I say smiling and giving her a wink. I am so happy for Josh and Maya, if there was any guy good enough for my best friend, it's my uncle. No matter how weird it sounds.

"So what's the conversation about today?" I ask nodding towards the boys as I lean my shoulder against my locker

"Basketball as always," Maya shares "I wasn't really following, you know I don't pay attention to sports." Maya shrugs in a 'doesn't concern me' matter and starts replying to Josh's text message.

I just laugh and lift myself up, no wonder she was bored, Maya hates sports.

My eyes start's scanning each team member until I found the one I was looking for. Looking at Maya, I notice that she's engrossed in a text conversation with Josh, so I make my way towards Lucas. I walk up behind him and wrap my arms around his waist and pop my head to his side

"Hey baby" Lucas says looking down at me smiling

'Oh here comes the butterflies' I think to myself, as I feel my stomach tingle.

"Hi," I greet looking into his pretty green eyes

Lucas leans down and kisses my temple, I couldn't help but close my eyes and lean a little into the kiss. After I feel him pull away, I open my eyes and see him smiling at me and I could help but smile back. I let go of his waist and stand up straight, after I fixed my posture, Lucas put an arm around my shoulder and I put an arm around his waist and lean my head against his shoulder.

After making sure I was comfortable with our position, Lucas went back to the conversation he was having with his team. Did I mention that Lucas is captain of the basketball team? Shocker right?

According to Maya, if you look at me and Lucas now, you wouldn't believe that we are the same two awkward kids who met in our middle school years, who didn't even know how to hold hands, are the same two kids standing in front of you wrapped around each other's arms, who don't seem to know what the definition of 'personal space' is.

"Dude, I don't even know why the Knicks even try anymore." I hear one of Lucas team mate say, pulling myself out of my thoughts.

I furrowed my eyebrows "Excuse me?!" I exclaimed, I feel Lucas chuckle at my reaction knowing that the Knicks are my team.

"Come on Riley," Andrews argues, he and I always, always bicker about my love for the Knicks. "You have to admit; the Knicks haven't hadn't a decent season in years!"

"It might be different next season," I argue, glaring at Andrew "the Knicks are getting D. Rose." He wasn't wrong, the Knicks haven't made it to the playoffs in what seems like forever. BUT STILL!

"Unless, he gets injured again." Andrew states, "Besides, with/without D. Rose, the team is still going to be the same."

I just glare at him, "You're not my friend," I huff, not knowing how else to win this argument. "No more cookies for you!" I tell him knowing he and the rest of the team love my home made chocolate cookies.

"ooohh!" The rest of the team exclaims, while one of other team members puts a hand on his shoulder to 'comfort' him, like he lost something valuable.

"You totally just messed up dude." Zay shaking his head with disappoint in his friend

"Riley!" Andrew pouts,

I don't even let him finish, I just do a shooing motion with my hands letting him know I'm down with this conversation.

"Come on bro, help me out here!" Andrew pleads looking at Lucas.

"Sorry man," Lucas laughs, tightening his hold around my shoulder, "You shouldn't have said anything about her favorite team, man"

I laughed when Andrew sighed in defeat, dramatic much?

"No, matter how bad her team is." Lucas continues to say jokingly, as he puts a kiss on top of my head.

Oh hell no, he better not thinks just because he kissed the top of my head that his comment is going to slide.

I looked up at him with a scrunched up face, "Bye!" is all I say as I pull always from his embrace.

I turn to Maya, who made her way next to sometime during the argument, "Let's go" I say and start walking away before she could answer and Lucas can smooth talk his way out of this one.

"Good job, Huckleberry." I hear Maya say as she laughs, and following me out.

"I'll see you guys at practice," I hear Lucas say laughing, before Maya and I walk out the

door.

Right when we got in front of Maya's car, the one Uncle Shawn bought her for her 16th birthday, I feel Lucas grab my hand to stop me from walking.

I tried to struggle from his grasps but the boy is strong, he really didn't have to use much strength to keep me from getting away. I know I'm being a little dramatic, but sue me I'm a 17 years old girl.

"I'll be in the car," Maya says amused, not even bothering to interfere.

When we hear the sound of the car door closing, Lucas pulls me closer so our foreheads are touching.

"Baby," Lucas pleads, putting his hands on my waist, his breath tickles my lips. I know what he's doing, he's trying to get me to forgive him.

Stay strong Riley, stay strong! He can't win every argument we have, so easily just by being cute

"You can't defend me, and contradict me at the same time Lucas," I tell him sternly, making sure he knows exactly why I'm upset, "it doesn't work that way" I say, looking in his eyes and giving him a glare.

Good job riley! Stand your ground! I tell myself. Don't let him win!

He removes his forehead from mine, and moves, so now are cheeks are touching, "I'm sorry," He whispers into my ear… I groan internally he definitely knows what he's doing.

"It's just so cute when you're all riled up." He continues, he turns his face so his lips are practically touching my cheek "especially when it's about sports." With every word he said, his lips tickle my skin.

Dammit he's good! I close my eyes and this time I don't bother hiding my groan, I feel him move again and can feel his breath on me, indicating were face to face. I didn't have to open my eyes to know he's smirking. He knows he's won, and I know he's just waiting for the affirmation.

"Do you," He starts as his lips graze my lips with every word he says. "forgive me?"

I open my eyes and I am welcomed with his green eye again, my breath gets caught in my throat. His eyes are so soft I know he means his apology. But damn, if he keeps pulling this, I'll never win an argument.

I give him a small nod indicating I forgive him, because in all honestly I don't think I could even find a way to use my voice at the moment.

His smirk turns into a smile and he starts to lean down and close my eyes again, right when I feel like he's about to kiss me

*HOOOOOONNNNKKKK*

Both Lucas and I jump apart in surprise and turn towards Maya.

"MY BAD!" She yells from inside of her car "I dropped my phone and hit my head on the horn!" She says, as she raises her hand with her phone for emphasis.

Lucas and I couldn't help but laugh.

"I should get going." Lucas says turning back to me and grabbing my hand and intertwining them.

"Yeah," I start, look at that my voice is back, "we should be going too." I say nodding my head towards Maya.

Lucas smiles and nods, he walks me to the passenger seat of my car and opens the door for me. AHH! He's just perfect!

"I'll see you after practice" He says pulling me into a hug

"Sounds good," I say burying my face in his chest, we pull apart and he kisses me on the cheek.

I get into the car and he closes it once I'm in. I smile and wave bye and he returns the wave. Before he makes his way back to the school, he waves bye to Maya as well. In return she gives him a nod.

When Lucas was completely in the school, Maya looks at me.

"Riley," She starts turning towards me

"I know, Maya." I interrupt her, knowing exactly what she's thinking "I know." As I lean back in my chair and push my hair back and sigh

Maya just nods and starts the car knowing that I really don't want to talk about it right now.

Mine and Lucas relationship, has all the characteristics of a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. From the hand holding, forehead/cheeks kisses, the cuddling and etc. Our relationship is so official but its unofficial. But today was different, we almost kissed… on the lips. I mean we've given each other pecks on the lips but it was never like a kiss, kiss. But today, it seemed like it was going to last longer than a peck. I wonder what would've have happened if Maya didn't honk the horn?

I take a deep sigh as Maya pulls out of the school parking lot. All I know right now is, Lucas Friar is going to be the death of me.

Did you guys enjoy it? Should I continue?!
