Chapter 4

A few hours later, Abigail came and got me for dinner. We walked down stairs to the dining room where Ben and Riley were already sitting at the table. As we ate, Ben talked about the treasure. He said it is suppose to be as big as the Knights Templar and he said a bunch of other stuff that I didn't pay attention to. I was too busy watching Riley.

'He is so cute. The little twinkle he gets in his eyes when he smiles, oh it just makes a girl melt,' I thought.

Soon Riley noticed I was watching. I quickly turned my head back to my food.

"So who's your favorite actor?" Riley asked.

"Well besides, Justin Bartha, I would have to say Owen Wilson," I replied.

"I like him too. Did you hear that he tried to kill himself?" Riley asked.

"Yeah I heard that. I was so mad," I replied.

"What's your favorite Owen Wilson movie?" Riley asked.

"Cross between Starsky and Hutch and I Spy," I answered, "what's yours?"

"Shanghai Noon," Riley answered, "I like the part when Owen is like, 'I don't know karate but I do know crazy and I will use it.'"Riley quoted.

I laughed, "I like it when he says 'You've lost your winging it privlages.' "

We both laughed.

"What are you two laughing about?" Abigail asked.

"Oh nothing just geek stuff. You wouldn't understand," I answered.

"Oh really?" Ben asked.

"Yeah," Riley smiled.

It was silent for awhile. Then Abigail spoke.

"So who's up for dessert?" Abigail asked.

"What are we having?" I asked.

"Well we have the chocolate chip cookies I made or chocolate ice cream," Abigail made known.

"Ice cream," me and Riley answered at the same time.

Ben and Abigail had cookies. After dessert, Abigail took me out shopping for clothes. As we drove in the car, I started to feel a little guilty.

"You know you really don't have to do this. I mean you guys are already putting a roof over my head I really think I can live with just the clothes I'm wearing," I explained.

"Non sense. You are a guest and we are going to take care of you. Besides, this is my chance to practice when I have my own daughter," Abigail reassured.

"Well if your sure," I breathed.

"I'm sure," Abigail smiled.

We bought 4 shirts, PJs, and 4 jeans. When we got back to the house, Abigail showed me the bathroom so I could get a shower. She let me use her shampoo, conditioner, and soap. After I was done, I wrapped the towel around me and started making my way to my room. When I got there, I started to get dressed and ready for bed. After I got dressed, threw on my robe and slippers and went downstairs to hear the plans for tomorrow. I was half way to the stairs when the bathroom door opened. I spun around and there was Riley wrapped in nothing but a towel.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you were there," I stammered.

"No it's my fault. I thought I was alone," Riley stammered turning red.

I turned around and headed downstairs while Riley went to his room to get dressed. As I headed downstairs I realized I was turning beet red.

'My God he looked so hot without a shirt on,' I thought.

A while later, Riley joined us downstairs. Ben was going over what was going to happen tomorrow.

"Abigail has already called and arranged for us to look at the Treaty of Paris. So tomorrow me and Abigail are going to look at that, Riley you and Rebecca can go look at some of the sites. Watch your backs though. With Ian on the loose he could be anywhere," Ben explained, "keep your cell phones on you. Rebecca do you have a cell phone?"

"Yes here is my number," I answered.

I wrote down my cell phone number and gave it to Ben. He gave me his, Abigail's and Riley's.

"Okay we should head to bed. We have to get up early," Ben notified.

"How early?" Riley asked.

"7:30," Ben made known.

"Ah man!" Riley and I complained in unison as we climbed the stairs.
