Hey Guys! I'm so sorry this one is so late, I've had a hard week. For those who have been asking, I will for sure post once a week on Sundays, if I can I hope to post a second time on Wednesday. As always, please excuse my grammar and I hope you all enjoy!

Trust Me

"Maya, why can't I just wear this?" I say in my most dramatic voice.

"Riles, I say this with all the love in the world, you can't wear a fluffy dress and tights. These parties are about wearing something sexy" I open my mouth when she stops me, "no you don't have to wear something sexy. Just please wear jeans or something?" With a sigh, I nod my head. I'm just tired of fighting. "Remember, you did say I could dress you up!" I laugh and sit closing my eyes waiting for the outfit of her choice. Maya exits the room and returns with a short burgundy romper paired with a large jean jacket. I make a face which she immediately glares at me for, and I try it on.

"I must say I'm surprised!" I say with a genuine smile. The romper fits quite perfectly, showing off the little cleavage I have, my small waist, and the legs I'm known for. The jacket covers me up so I'm comfortable but still hot.

"That's my girl!"

"Thank you, I'm sorry I didn't trust you right away" she laughs and gives me a hug. Then we call a cab and head off.

We arrive at a beautiful house that looks large enough to be a small hotel. I turn to see that Maya is just as in awe as I am, obviously, she did not know her new friend was rich. By the time we walk through the gate the party has already started and is filled with, music that's too loud, people that are too close, and way too much alcohol. Of course, I'm not complaining.

"Maya Penelope Hart!" A tall ginger begins walking towards us. "And who is this beautiful sun accompanying my moon," he gives me a look that sends the widest of smiles to my face.

"Riley," I say with the biggest grin.

"I love you both already" Maya gives him a look, "don't worry Maya, I love you the same" she smiles and turns to me, obviously pleased with her choice of friends. "Oh fuck, I think I just heard some glass break! I'll catch you guys later" but he was already gone. I spot one of many tables grab a bottle of vodka and pour much more than a shot in. \

"Woah sunshine," Maya says, sensing my distress. "Something going on?"

"I don't know. Everything feels different and my mind is a constant spin that goes too fast for me. Peaches I'm worried I won't be able to catch up with myself" I gulp as much of the terribleness as I can.

"Riles, look at me" I do as she says. "You're scaring me…" but I'm already gone. I'm a lightweight, and I'm afraid I just drank about six shots. My head is spinning and I'm ready to follow, so I grab my best friend and head out to the dance floor.

Lucas POV

As soon as we arrive I'm looking for her, although I've only seen her once her face is still a clear picture in my mind. Her beautiful brown locks that frame her brown eyes. And that smile, that smile could brighten anyone's day. As I'm looking for bright eyes, I find myself running into more people I know than comfortable.

My heart stops. She's looking right at me, her eyes searching deeper than anyone has ever searched. Just like that she begins dancing again. As I'm stuck watching her beautiful figure, she dances like the world isn't there. Little does she know how many guys are wishing the could dance with her, me being one of them. She continues dancing when I realize that she's tripping over herself, she can barely stand. Everyone seems to be looking away, is no one seeing this? I look for someone who's with her, who knows her but I find no one. As she starts walking towards the drinks again I grab her side to help her walk and find a quieter place for us to sit. When she's finally calm, she opens her eyes and her breath hitches, she remembers me. I try not to get to excited

.

"Hi," she says, oblivious to her effect on me.

"Hey" I reply

"Hi," and with her smile, I'm unable to think of a reply.

"Hey," she bursts into laughter. She's struggling to breathe in between her booming laughter. After some awkward moments of my silence, I laugh with her for no apparent reason other than the fact that it is so contagious. "You know cowboy, I'm curious about you" she says catching her breath.

"Well, bubbly, what would you like to know?" I can't help but smile around this girl. Damn it, how does she do that? She thinks for a minute before answering, her lips pursed in thought.

"Your dreams"

"What?" I reply with confusion.

"I would like to know your dreams" she states matter of factly. I'm caught off guard, no one has really asked that.

"Well, I've never told anyone that before…" In fact, I'm quite unsure how to reply.

"Now would be a good time to share," she waits for my reaction but I'm blanking. "I mean look around, you're taking care of a drunk stranger at a rich person's party," she says, her words slurred.

"I want to be a veterinarian" I surprise myself by saying that. "Back in Texas, I had a beautiful experience birthing a horse, and well it showed me what I want to be" What is this girl doing to me, I barely recognize myself!

"Lucas… That's beautiful. I must say that before I ruin this memory we made together"

"Riley… What?" I'm interrupted by her throwing up all over my shoes. I take my phone from my back pocket and quickly text Zay and Farkle.

Hey guys, I'm staying here tonight. If you find Maya, tell her I'm taking care of her friend.

"Come on Riley,"

"Where are we going?" She asks with an innocent look I hope to never hurt.

"Trust me" I lead her up to Farkles guest room and lay her down in the bed, only receiving a whisper of thanks.

"You're a good guy Lucas" I kiss her forehead as she's passed out and set up a bed for myself on the floor.

I'm trying to fall asleep as quickly as the brunette, but my mind is occupied with too many thoughts. Who does Riley bring out of me? I barely recognize myself when I'm with her. It's like she makes me into the person I want to be. I just have this urge to protect her and take care of her, to make her happy. But I'm so unsure of myself. What about Mindy? She's a good person deep down and I know Riley would only see the best in her… I just don't want to hurt her. Even though I don't love her now, I did once and I find myself holding onto that small piece of her. How did I get into this mess?

Is Rucas finally happening? What about Mindy? What happened to Maya? What's going through Riley's head? Find out next time on Girl Meets NYU! Please review, like and follow, it means everything!
