Laughing I look out the window but when I look back I see he isn't joking. Swallowing I look around before looking back at him, "Riker, your amazing but…" "I get it. Trust me." I shake my head, "Riker it is not like that. You are amazing, talented and well hot I just don't think we would even work." He nods and smiles, "Like I said I just wanted to tell you that I liked you, it's a crush its nothing." Smiling I get up and round the table to hug him. Hugging me back I feel his muscles and I blush.
Sitting back down I slap his arm, "No awkwardness. Let's go play in the park." Laughing he gets up and follows me outside. Walking the short path to the park I bump him, "Maybe we can all have a movie night soon." Smiling he pulls me in for a hug, "That sounds like fun." I see flashes and sigh. "Spotted." Nodding he turns me and we take a different path to the park.
The swings come into view and I smile before taking off running. I hear feet behind me and smile as I hop on the swing and start pushing myself. Riker is leaning against the set smiling, "Really?" I nod and point to the swing next to me, "Its fun." Laughing he gets on and starts pushing himself. Soon he is laughing and smiling, "I haven't been on one of these in years. I forgot how much fun these are." I laugh as he tries to go higher and bounces, "I told you so." He looks over at me with a huge grin, "Let's jump." I smile and nod, "Okay." "1" he laughs, "2" We smile, "3" I let go and hit with a humph as my butt hits the ground. Laughing I look over and see Riker standing in front of me. "Beat ya." Laughing he gives me his hand, letting him help me up I laugh and wipe my butt off.
Shaking his head he grins, "That was fun." I nod, "Yes, so is kicking your butt." He looks at me confused as I start running the way to the car. I hear his laugh and feet behind me. Soon he is beside me, "Really? Thought you could beat me." I smile at him and take off faster. I reach the car a few seconds after him and stick my tongue out as he brags, "You only won because you have longer legs." Laughing he gets in the car. Getting in he wipes the smiles off his face and looks at me, "This was fun." I smile, "Yeah, it was."
He backs out and starts driving to my house when I see Taco Bell. "Oh, lets get something to eat." Laughing he pulls into the parking lot and parks. Getting out I see him waiting at the back of car for me. We walk in and stand in line to order. "Hi, I was three tacos." I move and Riker smiles at the lady, "Um, two tacos and two steak quesadillas. With two drinks." I hand her my money and smile. "You got the ice cream." Shaking his head he grabs the cups and we walk to the fountain to get our drinks. We sit down at a table in the middle of the restaurant.
"Laura, I swear I want to hang out more. Ross is always hogging you." Laughing I shrug, "He asks me and I agree. I try to spend time with all of you." Leaning in he laughs, "Lie." I laugh and pull away and hear our food called. Getting up I grab the tray and sits back down and separate the food.
We are almost done eating when I feel something hit me. I look up and see Riker smiling. I look down and see the edge off the taco right in front of me. "Did you throw a piece of taco at me?" He shrugs, "Nope." I laugh and slap his arm, "Really?" He starts laughing, "It was funny." I start laughing and nod, "Okay, it was I guess." He raises his head some, "Knew it." Laughing again I see a flash from the corner.
Turning I see a little girl and smile. She smiles back and runs up to us. "Can I get a picture?" I smile, "Sure." I lean in and take a picture with her. She then does the same with Riker. "Thank you." I nod and watch her run back to her mom.
Riker finishes and looks at me, "I am not ready to go home." I laugh, "Me either, surprisingly I am having a lot of fun with you." Placing his hand on his chest and faking a hurt expression he gasps, "Like I would not be fun. That hurts." I laughs and gasp, "Who knew." He laughs and grabs my hand, "Let's go I know where to go."
He has been driving for a couple minutes when I turn the radio on. He looks over and smiles. A few minutes later I hear a familiar tone and turn it up and sing along.
"Looking for the one tonight
But I can't see you
Cause I'm blinded by all the lights, ooh
And I can never get it right
I need a breakthrough
Why are you so hard to find? Ooh"
I look over and see Riker staring at me, "What?" He laughs and starts to sing,
"I've been searching every city
Never giving up
'Til I find my angel
Diamond in the rough
Looking for a signal
Baby turn it up tonight."
Clapping I start to sing with him,
"Come on get loud loud let it out
Shout it out from the rooftops
Come on get loud 'til they shut us down.
Come on get loud loud let it out
Show me everything that you've got
Come on get loud loud I need you now
Baby let me hear it loud"
Coming to a stop he turns the car off and smiles, "I really never thought you knew the songs." I smile and shrug, "What can I say?" Laughing he gets out and I see nothing. "Where are we?" Grabbing my arm he leads me, "Come on."
Coming to a clearing I see this wonderful waterfall. The way the sun is setting on it makes it look so amazing. I turn to him, "Where did you find this?" He shrugs and sits down, "I don't know." I laugh and sit next to him as I hear the water splash and watch the sun setting on it. "This is so peaceful." He nods, " I like coming here because I can get away." I nod and close my eyes feeling completely relaxed.
Which didn't last long because our phones went off for a second then stopped. Opening my eyes I see Riker staring at the waterfall, "It was a notification, probably Twitter." I nod and close my eyes again just as I hear Riker's phone going off. Sighing he answers, "Hello?" I hear Rydel and realize it is on speaker. "Riker, where are you and Laura?" He shrugs, "Waterfall." She sighs, "Have you heard anything?" I move closer, "Heard what Rydel?" She sighs and I hear a crash in the background, "What was that?" Another sigh, "Apparently you and Riker are on a date."
