Decided to have her keep the accent the whole time.
Lucas smiled as Riley put her arms around his neck just like she did back on prom night. He couldn't help chuckling at the familiarity of the way Riley refuse to meet his eye. "What are you laughing at?" Riley asked lifting her head and looking at Lucas who brushes the hair that had fallen on her face away.
"Nothing you don't remember this song?" Riley bit her lip as Lucas watched her as he grabs her hand spinning her. "Oh I remember." Lucas smiled cupping her cheek and whispering you do. "Why of course. It's from that old movie Bridget Jones baby."
She starts giggling as she puts her arms around his neck again. "I didn't know you liked that movie? Quite scandalous Lucas Friar." He sighed shaking his head at her he thought she would remember. "No we dance to this song at prom. You can't be that drunk?"
Oh course she wasn't nearly that drunk since the nachos had help soak up some of the alcohol and of course she remembered the song. But she wasn't going to tell him that and she certainly didn't want to talk about that night. She thought with every touch and the sound of her erratic heartbeat would give her away luckily it hadn't.
She smiles at him looking Maya's way sending her an sos telepathically.
As if she could hear her Maya looked her way nodding walking towards them. "Hey huckleberry I'm cutting in." Before he could protest Riley wraps her arms around Maya's neck shrugging. "Peaches I can't thank you enough. I thought with these last months apart our friendship power had drained?"
Maya shook her head at Riley's weird rambling. "Anything for you honey." She spins her as Riley giggles some more. Maya was hoping Riley would want to call it a night and go home after the dance.
But Zay told them she owed him a dance battle and what better place than a club to have it. Maya tried to talk him out of it and just wait for another day. She knew if Riley drank anymore what was going to happen and Lucas would probably turn into Texas Lucas.
Riley twirled heading for the bar as Patrick the bartender smiled at her. "Patrick chum of mine another margarita please?" He shakes his head and Riley bats her eyelashes at him pinching his cheek. He pours them both a shot clinking them.
"Okay Riley one more than I cut you off." She blows him a kiss making her way back to her table. "Riles let's go Zay is all geared up for the club." Maya tells her pointing at Zay who was doing some weird dance next to Lucas and Josh who looked uncomfortable.
"Dear peaches I've ordered another drink. We shall split it if you let me wait for it." Maya shakes her head giving her a look but sits down next to her. Patrick brings it over and Riley throws her arms in the air yelling yay.
"Patrick you're a plum." Riley giggled sipping her drink. "I'd call you peaches but I already have one." She pinches Maya's cheek making her swat her hands away. Patrick chuckles nodding his head. "Well for a beautiful girl like you I'll be a plum."
He heads back to the bar and Maya looks at Riley who was drinking her margarita. "Ah. That fellow sure knows how to make a margarita." She hands it to Maya who sips it and makes a face. "Yeah I think he went a little to far with the tequila." Maya holds her head feeling the effects of that one sip. It was like it was pure alcohol with ice.
"Okay that's enough." Maya tells Riley taking the drink that Riley practically swallowed. Riley pouts and smiles walking towards the bar again. Maya shakes her head and sees Lucas watching Riley clenching his fist when Patrick writes something on an napkin for her.
"Okay peaches let's go." Handing Maya the napkin. "Don't lose that please." Maya looks at the napkin seeing a phone number on it. "Riles you flirt you got the hot bartender number gonna asks him out?" Riley looked at her laughing as they walked out the bar.
"Of course not. That's completely absurd." Riley tells her linking arms as they walked. "What is so absurd about it? Your both hot single people." Riley waves her off smiling at her words. "Oh Penelope you know how to make a girl blush. However Patrick and I have more than good looks in common."
Riley twirls as Maya narrows her eyes at her for using her middle name and waits for her to elaborate. "We both play for the same team." Maya stops them from walking seeing their friends at the end of the street.
"He's gay? Boo!" Maya tells her hoping he would squash Lucas chances of getting inside Riley's head again. "Oh Maya you cheeky girl. I see what this is?" Riley tells her smiling as she circles her. "You fancied him." Maya snorts shaking her head at her. "Now that's absurd."
Riley giggles walking backwards from her. "I do wonder what uncle Josh would think of this?" Maya shakes her head telling her she better not when Riley takes off running yelling out Josh's name.
Lucas watches as Riley runs towards them giggling as Maya chases her. He shakes his head seeing the sidewalk had a dip and knew Riley would end up tripping. He stands by it and sure enough she trips. He tried to catch her but he miscalculated the dip and falls with her luckily she fell on him.
"Oh bloody hell!" Riley groans as Lucas moves her hair from her face checking to see if she was okay. "You alright?" He asked feeling her breath on his lips. "Quite well thanks to you." She smiles as she looks down at him biting her lip.
Lucas smiles and feels his heart beating quicker. "You gonna get up?" Riley runs her finger along his jaw smiling at him. "I don't know I quite like this position." Lucas looks at her with wide eyes and clears his throat.
"Riley get up!" Josh shouts seeing them still on the ground. She groans putting her head on Lucas chest. "Spoiled sport." She mumbles so only Lucas hears making him grin. He chuckles as he helps her up holding onto her hand.
"Guys where are we going? I need to get my groove on and Riley owes me a dance battle." Zay tells them walking back towards them with Smackle and Farkle. "Oh I have the perfect place. Patrick told me about it." Riley tells them pulling up the address on her phone.
Lucas rolls his eyes as Maya watches walking over to them. "Hey riles didn't he give you his number to call him?" Maya asked watching as Lucas clenched his jaw. "Oh right top marks Maya." She winks at Riley and hands her the napkin.
She let's go of Lucas hand making him frown and dials the number. "Patrick my favorite plum." Riley shouts into the phone as she walks away to talk. "What's the matter huckleberry you look like someone stole your favorite toy." Maya smirks folding her arms across her chest.
Before he could respond Josh picks her up. "Okay you need a time out lets go." Lucas and Zay chuckle as Maya growls as Josh walks and sits her on the steps of an apartment building they were by. "So what is going on with you?" Zay asked seeing Lucas looking at Riley again.
"Nothing is going on with me why?" Lucas asked rubbing his neck. Zay chuckles nodding his head saying "right if that's the story you're selling." Riley comes back and jumps on Zay's back. "Cotton candy face you monster!"
"Come on love I don't want to walk." Riley tells him giving him her puppy dog eyes. Zay shakes his head and looks at Lucas. "I think dr. Friar here would be able to carry you better." She looks at him smiling and he shakes his head bending down.
"Yay." She wraps her arms around his neck and he lifts her up with ease. "Wow." She whispers into his neck sending shivers down his spine. "You okay?" She nods smiling at him. "I forgot how strong you are." He looks at her before looking away as the blush crept up on his cheeks.
She giggles as they start walking. "Am I making you nervous Lucas?" Riley asked whispering in his ear making him groan.
He shakes his head as Farkle asks where they were going. "Oh Patrick told me of this club that's three blocks from here. Shall we walk or find a taxi?" They agree to walk and see if any taxis pass or Farkle could call for a car.
"How you doing Lucas?" Riley asked running her finger along his jaw again. He gulps trying not to turn his head and kiss her since she was drunk. He was trying to be a gentleman but she kept touching him and putting her lips against his neck making it difficult.
"I'm good. You okay?" She hums in response. "Yes I'm quite well. Actually I quite like the view I'm getting." He turns his head again to see her looking down he chews his lip. "Um Riley are you looking at my.." she giggles cutting him off. "At your bum? Of course darling it's a very nice one if I do say so."
Before he could comment Maya shouts she got two cabs for them. "Boys in one girls in the other." Maya announces pulling Riley down from Lucas back. "Peaches I was enjoying myself." She smiles at Lucas as Maya shakes her head. "Yeah you weren't the only one." She looks down at Lucas who covers himself making her laugh.
"Okay here's the address boing." Riley holds on to Lucas arm as Maya pulls her away making her pout. "Riley could come with us." Lucas says pulling her back to him. Maya pulls her back shaking her head. "No I think riles should come with me. Trust me."
Riley giggles as she stands next to Maya. "Don't worry your handsome face Lucas." She goes up to him hugging him. "Save me a dance?" She whispers kissing his neck making him gulp as he nods.
Maya shakes her head again and pulls her putting her in the cab. "And that's one of the reasons she needs to come with me." Maya tells him getting in the cab as it pulls away. Lucas smiles as they get in the cab and Zay tells him what is going on with him and Riley.
Josh bites his lip half wanting to spoil the good mood Lucas was in with what he knew. Maya had told him this was the second stage of Drunk Riley. She gets flirty with everyone didn't matter the gender. She told him Riley had even came on to her once asking her if she wanted to get married.
They arrive at the club and Riley smacks Lucas on the butt. "Hey!" Lucas chuckles grabbing her hand. "What? I told you you had a nice bum." Lucas cheeks heat up and Smackle walks up to them. "She told me the same thing in the cab. Apparently I sit so proper my butt must be a nice one."
Lucas frowns as Riley smiles telling Smackle she did have a nice butt as she walks up to the bouncer running her hand up his arm. "Okay lovelies come on!" Riley shouts smacking the bouncer on the butt as she passes making him smile and gesture for her to call him to which she response with a wink.
"Looks like you got competition Luke." Zay chuckles as they enter the club making Lucas punch him. He glares at him and walks over to the table Josh and Maya had found. "Where's Riley? She still owes me a dance off." Zay asked dancing looking around.
Smackle points to the bar seeing her enjoying a beer with some guy who's face they couldn't see very well. "Who's that?" Lucas asked through gritted teeth pointing in their direction. Maya folds her arms across her chest and smirks at Lucas knowing exactly who the guy was.
"I don't know but he looks hot." Josh shakes his head at her as Lucas walks over to the bar. "I know I love Paris too it's quite the romantic place." Riley tells him drinking her beer. Lucas clenched his fist seeing her hand on his arm and his on the small of her back.
"What's... Gardner? I should have known." Lucas says moving Riley closer to them. "Oh hey Friar long time no see." Lucas narrows his eyes at him smiling. "Yeah could have been longer if you asked me." Riley gasps hitting Lucas in the chest.
"Lucas that was completely rude thing to say. I'm so sorry Charlie I do hope you don't hold it against him." Charlie smiles shaking his head drinking his own beer. "Oh no I never do." He clinks beers with Riley as they chug them.
"Hey Riley you want to dance?" Charlie asked watching Lucas clench his jaw. "Of course Charlie let's go." She hands Lucas her phone and laughs as Charlie twirls her. Lucas walks back to their table taking the shot Zay had and downing it. "What happened to being designated driver?"
Lucas points over at Riley dancing with Charlie. "Oh is that.." Maya cuts him off throwing her arms in the air. "Cheese soufflé!" Farkle and Smackle shake their heads backing up. "Dearest lets go get a beverage from the bar." They run off making Zay laugh.
"So you knew that was Gardner this whole time Maya?" Lucas asked about to do another shot when Josh takes it. "Yup I did. She single and he's single why can't two single old friends hang out?" Lucas glares at her before walking to the bar with Josh following.
"Honey nugget why are you being cruel?" Zay asked watching as Lucas was still watching Riley. "Come on Zay Riley told me about prom night and I don't want him trying to mess with her head again. He had years to talk about what happened but didn't. Why now?"
Zay knew she was right and shrugged his shoulders he didn't know why Lucas waited this long anyway. A slow song comes on and they see Lucas walking towards Riley and Charlie again. "How do you think this night is going to end Hart?"
"Oh I predict this night goes down in the record books for us." They cheers each other and take a shot.
"May I cut in?" Lucas asked as Riley smiled at him. "Of course Friar. Thank you for the dance Riley." He bows making her laugh as Lucas pulls her close. "So what the creepy creep creep want?" Lucas whispers in her ear.
Riley pulls her head back smiling at him. "What?" He asked twirling her. "Oh nothing just I thought you were going to be sober tonight?" Lucas frowns and Riley kisses his cheek making him smile again. "I only had a shot of tequila that's it."
Riley pulls him close with her head in his neck inhaling deeply. "You know what I like most about you Lucas?" He hums in response looking at her as her eyes were closed smiling. "Your smell. You smell of my favorite time of the year. Christmas."
She sends tingles down his spine as she plays with the hair on his neck. "It's true. You smell of pine trees and that's why I always wanted to be close to you." Lucas looks at her and pulling her face to his. "I always love being around you too. I like your smell too. Like fresh baked cookies."
Riley smiles and opens her eyes as she puts her hand on Lucas hand. "You know what else I like the smell of?" Lucas shook his head moving closer to her lips. "My favorite drink Bellini." He pulls back looking at her.
"I wonder if the bartender knows how to make them? Do you think he does? Also I'm starving I shall see if he has snacks back there too." She starts to walk away but comes back kissing his cheek. "Thank you for the dance again."
Lucas watches her walk away forgetting that she was drunk and probably didn't even know what she was saying.
Level 2-Flirty Riley
Alcohol Consumption-3 beers-4 shots-2 1/2 margaritas
I figured Riley's form of flirting wouldn't be like everyone elses.
