Marieke's pov
It has been about an hour since the kiss. De band was now doing soundcheck, the markers were delivered and Jake was nowhere to bes een. They sounded great, and were having a lot of fun on stage. But the best part was Riker looking my way pretty much the entire time. The others noticed too.
"So, care to tell me why my brother hasn't taken his eyes of you since the beginning?" I heard Ryland say. I turned around to find him standing next to me. "Oh, hey Ryland. No idea, maybe you should ask him." I said winking at Riker. "Yeah, not falling for that. What did you guys do?" Apparantly he's determined to get the answer. "Fine, he just helped me getting something from a top shelf. It didn't go too well, so I guess it was pretty funny." Ryland glanced at me. Please buy that, please buy that. "Right, I guess." Good enough
I couldn't stay, so when soundcheck was done I was in the new exhibition setting up the last objects. When someone told me the band was done and back in the greenroom. I went back to see if I could do anything fort hem when I was interrupted by two hand covering my eyes. I couldn't help but giggle.
"You know we should be more careful, your brother almost found out about us." I told the guy who was blinding me, assuming it was Riker, who else couldit be right?
"I love that you call us an us. I knew you wanted me, You want me bad don't you" I recocnised the voice immidiatly. I struggled to get out of his grip, but he wouldn't let go. "Jake, let me go. I wasn't talk about you and you know it!"
"I'll let you go if you say you want me, better say that you want me more than blondie."
"The lady said, let her go" A third voice said. That was Rocky!
I felt the hands get off me with force. Rocky must've hit him! I turned around to see Jake lying on the floor and Rocky with a fist. I hugged Rocky, and he put his arms around me too.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you"
"It's fine, are you okay? This is the guy Riker was talking about right? Are you hurt?"
I let him go dragging him away from Jake who was getting up again.
"Later, we need to get out of here. Jake is getting up again."
"Oh no he isn't" Rocky turned to hit him again.
"Just let him be, please can we leave."
"Fine"
We got to the greenroom, on our way I told him that I was fine, he didn't hurt me and that was the guy from before. When got there Rocky motioned Riker, who came over immidiatly. "What happened?" He asked, the others looked worried too. "Jake, he put his hands over my eyes. I thought it was you, het ook advantige of that and that Rocky came and punched him in the face." I explained.
Riker pulled me into a hug, thanking Rocky for being there.
"I was in the neighbourhood, but what did he mean whith what he was making you say?" Rocky asked. Riker was looking at me with a curious look, guess it was out now.
"He was making me say that I wanted him, that I wanted him more than I wanted Riker." My head was a tomato at this point. Ratliff, Ross, Ryland and Rocky were practically rolling around the floor from laughter. Rydel's eyes were popped open and Riker's jaw was hanging by his knees. "Did you?" he whispered in my ears. "No! Were you not paying attention in the suppliecloset?" I whispered back. After that he hugged me even tighter.
After that it didn't take long for the official stuff to begin, since I was working backstage only I didn't had to change. But just in case I was wearing a bright green blazer. Not exactly the dress code, but good enough if someone happened to spot me. Someone cut the ribbon, the Director spoke a few word and someone introduced R5. They started playing, and I was rocking out backstage with Ryland. I am the worst dancer ever, so I got a few good laughs out of him. I couldn't help but watch Riker though, damn he looked hot. Maybe I should tell him were out of markers again.
After the concert all the guests left, leaving me to clean up. We would take the stage apart tomorrow, for now it would just be sweeping the floor, getting rid of the trash, that kinda thing. But before I could even start two sweaty arms gave me a big hug.
"Heey Riker, man you're sweaty. The light were that hot huh?"
"That and the jumping around didn't help, but hey what are you gonna do?"
"How about taking a shower?" I joked.
"Ouch, you want us out of here already?" he said, pretending to be hurt.
"Just kidding. You don't have to go just yet if you guys wanna stay. But I'm warning ya, this is gonna be a clean up party." By this time the rest of the band had joined us.
"Someone say party?" Ratliff asked?
"I'm in!" said Ross all exited.
"A CLEAN UP party" I repeated. That wiped the smiles of their faces.
"Well I'm pretty beat, I'm going home guys, anyone wanna ride?" Rocky asked. Rydel was quick to accept, eyeing me and Riker to stay.
"You guys go ahead, I'll hang around for few moments" Said Riker, careful not to look directly at me. The others smirked but went to the cars.
"So" Riker started once the others were gone. I sighed deeply, this was the moment I was dreading, goodbye, for who knows how long.
"Listen," I started. Not really sure what to say next When I found my words Riker beat me to it.
"Can I get your number again? The others took the first you wrote down." I was baffeled, he wanted to stay in touch, he wanted my number!
"Sure!" We exchanged numbers. And after that Riker pulled me in for another hug.
"If that Jake guy ever bothers you again, call me okay? And I will kick his ass." He said, staring into my eyes. He was dead serious.
"I will, thank you for today. Trust me, I normally don't bring this much drama." I whispered.
He chuckeled. "Good" and he started to lean in again. And before I knew it we were kissing again. Scratch that, it was starting to become a full make out session. His tong brushed my lower lip, asking permission. I let him in immidiatly, and what started as an innocent goodbye, was now a deep french kiss. And I loved it, His hands were everywhere I wanted them. On my back, in my hair. He pulled us closer than we already were, we were fully intertwined now. I could feel his whole body against mine. We broke apart, panting and gasping for air.
"I have to go." Damn those four words. "I will call you okay" He said, still panting a little.
All I could do was nod in agreement. He gave me a quick peck on the lips and left.
I hope you guys liked it, the M rated stuff is coming. Be patient please, it will be my first time writing that kinda thing, but it is coming.
Love you all
