Here is chapter 6!
Disclaimer: I don't own GMW or the characters.
"WELCOME TO MY PARTYYY! Drinks are over there and the music and pool is out back." Heather screamed at the group of friends. She was already drunk and it was only 9.
"Well I'm going to get a drink. Anybody else want one?" Maya asked. We all said no, which made her frown.
"You guys are no fun." She said, then went to get herself a drink.
Farkle stayed with Riley and Lucas until he spotted Smackle, then he was gone.
Lucas just stood there with Riley looking around. She figured he must be looking at all of the pretty girls grinding on each other. He probably wanted to be with them, she thought. She decided she was going to give him an out so he could have fun and not be dragged down by her.
"Hey, I'm going to go find the bathroom. You should go mingle." Riley told Lucas.
"I can walk you over there." He insisted.
"Lucas, it's fine. I can use the restroom by myself. Walk around and mingle. I'll find you in a bit." Riley insisted back. She walked away to find the restroom before he could argue with her.
He sighed and made sure to take note of which direction she was going in so he could come check on her in a few minutes.
As Riley made her way over to the restroom, she could hear the whispers around her.
"Did you hear Charlie dumped her? What a loser."
"Wait, she's single now? Damn, time to move in."
"How sad, she's all alone now. She was with the hottest guy, and she let him go. What a shame."
Riley started feeling a tightness in her chest and started hyperventilating. She hated being the center of attention, especially when it was negative attention. How did everybody even know about her and Charlie breaking up?
Riley shook her head and headed towards the side door so she could escape the party quickly and quietly. She couldn't handle people talking about her anymore, but before she could make it to the door, Maya appeared in front of her buzzed and holding two drinks.
"Hey Peaches!" Maya slurred.
"Maya, you're already drunk?" Riley asked. They had only been here for 20 minutes or so. 20 minutes too long for her.
"I'm not drunk! I'm just a little tipsy." Maya replied giggling.
"Here, I got this for you because I know you need to chill out." Maya said handing Riley a cup.
Riley sniffed the cup to smell what its contents were. She smelled coke and some sort of strong liquor.
"What is it?" Riley asked.
"It's rum and coke. Relax, and drink. Loosen up, Riles." Maya insisted.
So, Riley took a sip since there was no way she could escape quietly with Maya in front of her.
"There you go, kid. Oh I'm out. I'll catch you later." Maya said, gave Riley a kiss on the cheek, then left.
Riley took another sip of the drink. Maybe getting a little tipsy herself would be okay.
"Riley?" She heard a familiar voice project. He repeated her name a few more times before she could feel him come up behind her.
"There you are. What are you doing?" Lucas asked her eyeing the red cup in her hand reeking of liquor.
"What does it look like I'm doing, Friar?" she asked with an attitude. The effect of the alcohol must already be hitting her.
"Okay, I think we should just dump that out." He said as he tried to grab the cup from Riley, but she turned away from him so he couldn't get it.
"Riley, come on. Give me the cup. This isn't like you."
"No! And I don't want to be like me tonight. I was dragged to this party, so I'm going to make the best of it. If you have a problem with that, then you can go find somebody else to hang out with." Riley said and then took another big sip of her drink.
Lucas sighed and clenched his fists. He knew it was the alcohol talking, but she was being very frustrating right now.
He reached for the cup again and was finally to get it out of her hands. He knew she would try to grab it back, so he downed the rest of the cup's contents.
"There, all gone." He said throwing the cup to the side.
Riley was pissed off at him now. She had a pouty face and crossed her arms in front of her chest causing major cleavage that he swore was going to be the death of him.
He knew she was mad, but she was more adorable than ever right now.
She was frustrated with him, and she knew he was angry with her. But all she could focus on was how hot he looked angry.
"This isn't you Riley." He said
"I don't want to be me tonight."
"Why?" He asked inching closer to her.
"Why what?" She asked noticing him getting closer to her.
"Why would you want to be anything but yourself right now? Drinking, partying, pushing me away. What is wrong?" He asked still walking towards her as she starts walking backwards with every step he takes.
"Because I'm a loser and alone because I got dumped. He didn't even…" Riley started, but then stopped. She stopped before she could tell Lucas how the breakup happened. She knew he would only be more pissed off and ready to kill Charlie if he knew how it happened.
"You're not any of those things Riley, and Charlie is the stupidest guy on the planet to walk away from you. I know you loved him, but you could do so much better." Like me, Lucas thought to himself as he continued walking towards her. A few more steps, and he'd have her up against the wall with nowhere else to go.
Riley knew she should escape from Lucas now before he had her pinned to the wall, but she couldn't deny that that's what she wanted.
"You're just saying that." She told him avoiding eye contact now. She stopped moving back, but Lucas didn't. He didn't stop until he was right in front of her. So close, that they could feel each other's breath. He reached down to uncross her arms so that they were by her sides, and he intertwined his fingers with hers.
"I'm not. You're amazing and any guy would be lucky to have you. Don't settle for anyone." He told her.
She looked back up at him with her big brown eyes that he loved. Then, she looked down at his lips that were so close to her face. If she hadn't had anything to drink and was thinking more clearly, she would have never let them get this far, but she had enough in her system to feel somewhat tipsy.
Once he noticed her biting her bottom lip, he couldn't take it anymore. He leaned down and kissed her. She was taken back at first, but quickly responded back to his lips and his tongue fighting against hers for control. She gave in to him and released her fingers from his to wrap her arms around his neck pulling him closer to her. He placed his hands on her hips and gently pushed her back trapping her against his body and the wall.
Riley started to bite his bottom lip which caused Lucas to groan and pull her even closer to him than they already were.
She finally pulled away from him to grasp for air, and he started kissing and sucking along her jaw, then down to her neck, to her collarbone, then down to her cleavage. He knew he should stop, but her moans egged him on. He had waited so long to kiss her and lose his way with her.
Once he finally gained some self-control he loosened his hold on her some as they breathed heavy still against eachother. He looked down at her admiring her beauty. Her eyes, her freckles, her hair. He started wrapping her hair around his fingers as she ran her fingers through the hair on the back of his head right above his neck.
They were in heaven until they heard a bunch of people yell shots down the hall from the room they were in. Lucas was fine staying where they were, but Riley pushed him back gently so she could escape from the confined space between him and the wall. She brushed her fingers through her hair pulling her bangs out of her face.
She turned back towards him and said "I'm sorry."
Then she walked out of the room, through the crowd of people, and out the front door.
Lucas stood there baffled thinking what his next move should be.
What do you think Lucas's next move will be? What do you think his next move SHOULD be? Also, there was no italicized writing in this chapter. I just wanted to make sure everybody understood that italicized meant it was present day, and regular text means it was in the past.
Anyways. Review please & tell me your thoughts
