Author's Note #1: Hey guys! Sorry for the wait, I've been really busy with school. So here's chapter 3! I haven't been getting as much feedback on this story as I hoped, but I'm still gonna keep working on it, because I really love it. Alright, enjoy chapter 3 :)
The Ross Penthouse, 5:13 PM.
No POV
"Zuri...I know what you're thinking, and it's not at all what you think! I was just talking with this girl I met at the park, it's nothing serious!" Luke exclaimed.
But little did he know how serious he and Riley would become.
"Please don't tell Mom and Dad! They already know how much pain I'm in from getting dumped, but if they find out about Riley, I'm positive they're gonna pass judgement."
"So her name's Riley..." Zuri said.
"Yeah..." Luke said, the heat of guilt starting to rush to his cheeks.
"Okay, what do you want from me? I'll give you my allowance for the next few weeks if that's what it takes."
Zuri looked confused. "What? Oh, I get it. This is blackmail. You give me your allowance for the next few weeks, and in return, I pretend it's okay for you to be in a relationship right now."
"What? Zuri, not you too! You of all people should understand!"
"What do you mean, 'of all people'?"
"We're siblings, Zuri. We're supposed to be a team. Please? And I will give you my allowance for the next few weeks, I promise!"
"Hmm...make it a month and you've got a deal!"
"Okay." Luke said. They shook on it. Zuri went back to her room.
After what seemed like the longest week of his life, Saturday finally rolled around, and Luke texted Riley his address. Saturday was the one day when he knew for sure everyone else would be out of the house. Ravi had his reptile club meetings, which usually lasted about an hour or two. Morgan and Christina of course had their own jobs to do, and Emma had recently gotten a part-time job as a fashion designer, so she had that to do. Luckily, Zuri was planning to go to a friend's house, and on Saturdays, Bertram usually went out to gorge himself on the food of every restaurant he could find. Jessie would be going grocery shopping today. Jessie was the last one to leave, and after she did, Luke immediately whipped out his phone and texted Riley that it was okay to come over. He was dressed nice. He wore a light blue button-down shirt and some blue jeans. He made sure to grab a quick shower too. He sprayed some cologne on himself, and brushed his hair out. About 20 minutes after Luke texted her, he heard the little bong sound of the elevator. He got up off the couch and went to greet her. She was so beautiful. She wore a yellow tank top and blue jeans, and let her hair hang on her shoulders. She was also wearing a little bit of lipstick.
"Hey." Luke said, smiling. He gave her a little peck on the cheek, which made her giggle a little.
"Hi." she said, grinning.
Luke gestured to the screening room and said, "Shall we?"
Riley giggled even harder, and she was sure Luke noticed it that time.
"We shall." she said, taking his hand.
They watched Avengers.
During the middle of the movie, Luke put his arm around Riley, and she rested her head on his shoulders.
At the end of the movie, Riley was starting to fall asleep, but when she heard the loud music of the end credits, that woke her right up.
Luke still had his arm around her. He looked at her. He took the remote and turned the TV off. He thought for a moment. They were all alone. If they wanted to kiss, they could, and nobody could stop them. He looked at Riley and could tell she was thinking the exact same thing. Once again, it was the heat of the moment. He leaned in, as did she. He put his hand on her cheek and moved her hair away from her face. They both closed their eyes. Their lips touched for the very first time. Riley held Luke by his cheeks. He grabbed her waist and they both fell onto the floor, still making out very passionately. Riley was on top of Luke. He grabbed Riley's butt and squeezed it a little, making her moan in pleasure a little bit.
"Luke?" she whispered.
"Yeah, baby?"
"I...don't wanna go too fast."
"Don't worry, we won't."
Luke's POV
Riley was an amazing girl, and an even more amazing kisser. I was in heaven as my tongue intertwined with hers, with my hands still on her butt. We stood back up and Riley jumped up and wrapped her legs around my waist. I fell back a few steps and lightly fell against the wall. Riley was now sort of sitting in my lap.
"God, I love you so much." I panted.
"I love you too, baby."
We continued making out.
Annonymous POV
I crept into the screening room as quietly as possible. I saw Riley and Luke making out in the corner of the room. I tried so hard not to gag. I spot Riley's phone on the armrest of one of the chairs. I grab it. I creep back out, of the screening room, making sure not to be seen or heard. Suddenly, at exactly the wrong time, Riley's phone started ringing. I panicked. I tried to muffle it by shoving it in my back pocket, but it was no use. I ducked behind one of the seats.
"Hey, should I get that?" I heard Riley ask.
"Um, y'know, it's—it's probably not important. You—you can probably just call 'em back." Luke said.
Riley laughed. "Luke, I have to answer my phone."
"No you don't, you can just call 'em back." I heard both of them walking over. I didn't move. I didn't even dare breathe. I closed my eyes.
"Hm, where's my phone?" Riley asked.
Oh no. I felt a sneeze coming on. I tried to hold it back, but to no avail. I tried to conceal it anyway I could, but then:
"AH-CHOO!"
"What was that?" Luke asked.
"I don't know, it sounded like it came from behind one of the seats."
I hear them both walking over to me. I silently whimper. My cheeks are hot. I brace myself for what's about to happen.
Author's Note #2: So I hope you guys enjoyed the 3rd chapter, and you probably guessed who the annonymous POV was. Stay tuned for chapter 4 :)
