Day Seven: Future Rucas
"Once upon a time there lived this insecure brunette who had the greatest friends in the world. She admired the likes of her blond best friend who was fierce and tough and her life long friend who was considered a genius in all ways possible. When she was just 13 years old, she met a handsome boy who would soon join her band of best friends in the world. He was charming, kind, and easy to talk to about anything. They knew they liked each other, but the pressure of being something more put a strain on their already unique relationship, so they remained friends. Finally the day came when just friends grew into love after many ups and downs. Freshman year of high school, the couple and their best friends were inseparable, facing the world together. They all went there separate ways for college, but remained in contact until the day they graduated, all of them brought together to celebrate the success of the others. When the pretty brunette was just 21 years old, her life changed for the absolute better because of her prince. At graduation, the handsome prince-" I stop after realizing that she's asleep. I gently ease out of her clutches before waddling over to turn off the light and kiss her goodnight.
"I wanted to hear the rest of the story," I hear from the bedroom doorway. I turn to face him, smiling at his cheekiness.
"You know how the story goes," I smirk.
"But I love when you constantly tell it," he smiles walking my way.
"Okay. Well, the handsome prince proposed at graduation with the sweetest speech I've ever heard. How did it go? Oh yeah... 'You are the greatest gift I've ever received when I transferred to New York. I never thought I could love someone as much as I love you. You give me hope for all things I used to think were useless to hope for...'"
"You made days brighter at the sight of your smile. Nights shorter at the promise of tomorrow. You made my life better at the promise of you being mine, now and hopefully forever. Today in front of everyone we know, I vow to love you, cherish you, and always remember that anything is possible as long as love is involved. So Ms. Riley Amelia Matthews, with you do me the honor of becoming Riley Amelia Friar," he finishes for me.
"And I said yes, in front of all of those people and it was the best decision I've ever made," I said kissing my husband of five years now. "Say goodnight to your daughter and let's leave her to sleep." He walks over says goodnight to our three year old, Emma Penelope Friar. I waddle out of the room and into the kitchen to make some tea. As I'm at the stove, I feel a pair of arms wrap around my six month pregnant belly.
"Have I told you lately that I love you?" he ask kissing the side of my neck.
"I believe so, but I wouldn't mind hearing it again."
"I love you Riley, so much."
"I love you too Lucas," I say as I turn around in his embrace for a kiss.
"You know, I think we all turned out alright. I mean, Maya and Zay are married with a kid on the way. Farkle and Smackle are getting married in a few weeks with one kid. And we're married with Emma and another on the way. I think we have this life thing down, don't you think?" I laugh at the statement.
"I don't think we got it all down, but we're pretty damn close, so I call victory. Dad always says that the older you get, there's even more to discover and learn. I'm just happy that we are all happy, you know," I say cuddling close to my husband.
"Yeah, I know what you mean. The future was so unclear when we were young, but now that we are living it. It almost seems unreal in a way." I nod in agreement. Just then the kettle whistled signaling the tea being ready. I fix us both a cup before we cuddle up to a movie on the sofa. Everything was so unclear concerning our futures when we were kids, but now everything is crystal clear and I'm loving the overall image.
