Riker:
It has been three days since I've talked to Laura. The worst three days of my life.
Day 1: I woke up with a huge smile on my face. I thought back to the night before, how she was so nice and sweet. I thought back to how I wanted so bad to talk to her again, and to be with her. How I wanted to hold her. I got dressed and went downstairs. I was planning to go see Laura that day.
I ran into the kitchen, zoomed past Rocky, grabbed a bowl, took the milk out of the refrigerator, got the cereal out of the cabinet, and grabbed a spoon and sat down at the table, out of breath. I opened the milk, and poured it in the bowl and I sat it down the hard that milk splashed out.
"Whoa man! Aren't you forgetting something?" Rocky asked. I looked beside me and saw that I hadn't poured cereal in the bowl.
"Darn it!" I screamed.
"What are you in such a hurry for anyways?" He chocked back a laughed.
"I want to go see Laura." I said.
"For what?" I turned around and saw Ross starting at me with a confused expression on his face.
"Uh...Uh." I stuttered.
"He promised he would help her move furniture today." Rocky said.
"What?" I asked. He elbowed me and I got the hint, "Oh yeah! I better get over there right now!"
"You can't go today." Rydel said, walking in.
"Why not?" I asked.
"I text her at about 6:00 this morning, she said to tell you that she had a great time last night, and that she wishes she could see all of us today, but she has work." Rydel said.
I smile spread across my face as she said that she liked the date- It was not a date Riker, it was just a way to get her mind off of Mason, my brain told me. I didn't care though. She liked spending time with me and that is all that matters. At the same time, I was disappointed that I couldn't see her.
"Oh, well maybe tomorrow then." I said.
"I doubt it, she has rehearsal for a new movie and she has to write a new song for her album so you probably won't get to see her for like three days." Rydel said.
Rocky sent a glare towards Rydel. "Rydel, can we talk?"
"I don't know, can we?" She asked. Rocky rolled his eyes and took her by the arm and pulled her out of the room.
"So... You and Laura hit it off real good didn't you?" Ross snapped.
"Ross, she was having a rough time with Mason." I saighed.
"What did he do to her?" Ross asked harshly.
"I don't know if she would like me to tell."
"So what? Now you two have your own little secrets? I bet you didn't even talk about me that night!" He said.
"We did!" I lied.
He looked down, like he didn't believe me.
I sighed, "Look, I would never steal Laura away from you, but she needed a friend, and I was there for her, that was the only reason I took her out. Plus, she already knows you. Your hobbies, how many instruments you can play, how funny you are, she has known you since the very beginning! I didn't need to put in a good word for her to know that you are a great guy. Last night, she didn't need to know about a great guy, she needed an outlet from her snob of a boyfriend."
"You're right... I just didn't want Laura to fall for you when you already like someone anyways." He said. If you only knew I thought to myself.
"So, we still best friends?" I asked him.
"No, we are brothers." He said.
Day 2: By the time that the second day came, I was down and out. I felt like I needed her by my side, and knowing that she might be out with Mason was killing me.
I pulled out my phone and texted her,
Hey Laura! I was just wondering how you were doing.
I got a reply and my heart started thumping out of my chest, but I frowned when I realized that this reply wasn't from her.
Who is this? And why are you texting my girlfriend?
I could have sworn that my heart stopped beating, anger came up in me, and I wanted so bad, to just tell him off, but that wasn't my place, and Laura would never forgive me.
I typed back carefully,
This is her friend, she wasn't feeling well yesterday and I wanted to make sure that she was okay.
Oh, okay! Thanks for checking up on her.
I breathed a sigh of relief, now I am free.
Day 3 (Today):
I woke up to a beep on my phone, I sat up and is said, Laur.
Hey, sorry I couldn't text you back yesterday, I was at work, and apparently Mason thought he should keep track of my phone. *Rolls eyes*
Haha it is fine. I replied back.
Well, do you want to meet up for lunch today? Mason canceled AGAIN!
Sure! I will pick you up at your house.
Cool! Bye Rik!
Bye Laur!
I looked at my clock and it read, 11:30!? I jumped out of bed, got dressed, brushed my teeth, and ran into the living room. "Laura needs me to be at her place at 12:00 so we could meet for lunch and then I will help with the furniture." I said.
Everyone started laughing, "What?" I asked.
"I think you forgot something..." Ryland said, pointing down.
I looked and started blushing, yup that's right, I forgot my jeans.
Rydel came downstairs rubbing her eyes, "What's so fun-" She started laughing.
"Nice heart boxers!" She said.
"Shut up!" I blushed and ran upstairs and grabbed my jeans and put them on.
Once I got in my car finally, I drove off to her house.
When I got there, I knocked on the door. She opened it and greeted me with a hug. I smiled and hugged her back. She pulled away and looked at me with her hands still on my arms, "Hey! I am so happy that you are finally here! I was getting so bored."
"I am happy that I am here too! You ready to go?" I asked.
"Sure."
We got in my car and started talking, "So where do you want to go?" I asked her.
"Um, how about McDonalds?" She asked.
"Okay." We drove there. We saw the line and decided to go through drive thru and then eat at the park.
We finally got to the speaker and a voice said, "AJDUWOWNVIHOWMAIITAK?"
Laura and I flinched, "Well, I think we have found the real life version of Charlie Brown's mom." She said.
I chocked back a laugh and said, "One Ten Piece chicken nuggets with a large fry and 2 medium Dr. Peppers?"
"OXSSHAUHDUSAOC!" I got the reply.
"That is correct." I decided to go along with it instead of making her repeat the order.
I drove to the next window, "Now it is time to meet Charlie Brown's mother!" Laura said.
A man that looked about 48/49, came to the window, I looked at Laura and smirked, "Or his father..." She said and blushed.
We got our food and drove off to the park.
Our drive consisted of me teasing her about not getting the gender right. "Oh come on! Even you would've mistaken that! Heck, you even mistook the ticket lady for a man!" She said, laughing.
I glared over at her and threw a fry at her. She looked at me with her mouth wide open, "Oh it's on!" She said and tossed a fry at me.
And this, my friends, is how an extreme food fight started. Before I knew what was happening, she was running around to my side of the table, with the barbecue sauce in her hand and shoved it on my nose.
I made an O motion with my mouth, and a sneaky smirk came onto my face, she saw it and ran, or at least tried to run. I grabbed her and held her down and opened my packet of barbecue sauce on her face.
She screamed and I started laughing. She wrestled her way out of my grip and ran over to the pond, "You can't catch me!" She shouted and stuck her tongue out at me.
I ran after her and right when I thought I had her, she moved out of the way and I fell right into the pond. She started laughing so hard, and she made the mistake of pointing at me, I grabbed her hand and pulled her in the pond. "AHHH!" She screamed.
I chuckled and picked her up bridal style, out laughing slowly faded and we looked into each others eyes, "I got you now." I said.
"Mmmhmm" She said softly and then she cupped my face and slowly started leaning in, when bam! Her phone started ringing.
We jumped in surprise and I dropped her. She coughed loudly. I said, "Oh my god! I am so sorry!"
She let out a little cough and said, "It's fine."
She ran to get her phone out of her bag while I sat at the table, "Hello?"
"Oh hey Mason!" I rolled my eyes.
"Nothing much, I am here with my friend, Riker." She said.
"What do you mean you don't want me to see him!?" She shouted.
"You can't make me stay away from my friends!"
"Fine then!"
"Good!"
"BYE!" She screamed and slammed her phone down. With each second of that phone conversation, I got angrier and angrier.
I walked over to her, "Are you okay?"
She jumped back and looked at me, "Yeah, he is just being a jerk as always."
"Do you want to go?" I forced the words out of my mouth.
"No! I will not let that egotistic dirt bag ruin our day!" She said determined.
My heart skipped a beat at the words our day but I played it cool and said, "Okay, let's finish eating."
And with that, we sat back down and finished our food.
When we got back to her house, she gave me a towel and I took some clothes out of the boot of my car for if I ever go to the beach.
I dried off and changed in the bathroom, while she changed in her bedroom.
"You know, you don't have to go just yet." Laura said.
"You sure you don't mind if I stay around?" I asked her.
"Of course I don't mind!" We put on SpongeBob SquarePants Sponge Out Of Water, and started watching it.
We sat there, for I don't know how long and laughed. "That part was funny wasn't it Laura?" I asked her.
I looked and noticed that she wasn't awake, her head was resting on my chest and smiled to myself, suddenly becoming tired... I drifted off into dream land.
I was woken up by a door slamming, "WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON!?"
