How come she's this pretty? How is this the Riley that has been making my life a disaster since I met her? Just how..? I don't even think that they're the same person. Wait why am I giving it this much thought? So what if she looks drop dead gorgeous in that dress that extenuates what needs to be extenuated? Well at least she looks good for Farkle's sake. Yeah that's why I'm giving it too much thought.

Lucas thought to himself as he looked at her, noticing her smokey eyes getting wide with surprise as she looked at his cousin. He couldn't stop his eyes from running over her body a few more times.

To them and to you reading this, it seems like they've been standing like this for hours but in reality, barely five minutes have passed. Lucas took a deep breath as he adverted his eyes back to her face.

"How pretty... I was afraid that you won't be able to get yourself looking decent." He said trying to go back to his normal teasing self. Riley looked at him with an unreadable expression on her face before she seemingly woke up from the surprise and glared at him. "Let me introduce you to my cousin." He pointed at Farkle with a smirk, "Farkle, this is Riley…."

"We know each other anyways…" Farkle said with a smile and Lucas' head turned to him in surprise while Riley's glare softened into a shy smile. "How are you, Riley?"

"I'm okay… Thank you." Riley said softly adverting her eyes to the ground.

"You know each other?" Lucas asked pointing at the two in confusion.

"Yeah…" Farkle looked at him briefly before looking back at Riley. "Riley worked at a bakery shop in LA near my house that I always went to." Riley smiled at his words, happy that he fully remembers her.

"Really? What a coincidence!" Lucas said with a grin as he looked between the two before looking at Riley with a smirk, "You went from the bottom and now look where you are." At that, Riley glared at him.

"Thanks to you." She said with a sarcastic smile.

"Okay… Let's head to the party then." Lucas said with a sigh and Farkle nodded.

"I'll just get my bag really quickly." Riley said and went back inside her room after the two guys nodded. She walked steadily until she was out of their eyesight then ran the rest of the way towards the bed where Maya was sitting, texting. "It's like I'm in a dream!" She whisper-yelled as she pulled Maya into a standing position.

"Hurry and spill! What happened? Is his cousin really attractive and hot like I told you?" Maya exclaimed in a whisper as well. "I couldn't look because I didn't want them to see me."

"He's really attractive and hot, Maya. Lucas' cousin is Farkle, Maya! MY Farkle!" Riley exclaimed.

"WHAT!" Maya exclaimed in a whisper. "I can't believe this!"

"Be quiet, they'll hear you."

"If this is not a sign from god then I don't know what is, Riles. You're officially a couple now!" At that, a sad look took place on Riley's face.

"Yeah… We're a fake couple for just one night."

"Enough! Don't start being pessimistic again. Just use the chance that god gave you and don't make me go crazy."

"Okay." Riley said with a sigh. "I made them wait for long enough, though. Good luck with Josh as well. He's a good guy, Peaches." Riley said hurriedly before giving her a kiss on the cheek and hurriedly retrieving her clutch from the bed. She waved goodbye before standing straight and making her way out calmly and slowly towards the guys, closing the door after herself. She looked at Lucas with a frown before turning her head to the guy beside him as a small smile took place on her face.

"I'm sorry that I made you wait." Riley said in a soft voice that Lucas couldn't help but smirk at. He really couldn't believe that this was the girl who was ready to kill him a few hours ago and now she was like an angel. Literally.

"It's okay." Farkle said with a small polite smile as well. They started heading towards the elevators with Riley in between the two boys. Farkle's phone started ringing and he answered it. "Hello."

"Mr. Farkle, Mr. Lucas took a client's car and left with it. Now the client is in my office and he's furious." The hotel's manager said over the phone as he looked at the person sitting on the chair by his desk. Farkle looked at Lucas in annoyance but he was looking the other way. "Did you know about this?"

"I'll be right there." Farkle said before hanging up and looking back at the clueless Lucas. "The car's owner is at the manager's office, right now. What am I gonna tell him, huh?"

"Don't let him overreact, we'll pay for the damage done no matter how much it costs." Lucas said simply.

"Is that it?" Farkle said in an angry tone. "We're obligated to do that anyway."

"What else could we possible do?" Lucas asked and Riley just walked silently between them, her eyes going back and forth between the two.

"Who am I even asking? I'm sick of fixing things after you, cousin." Lucas turned to him with a frustrated expression. He didn't quite know why but he felt frustrated that he was talking to him like that in front of Riley.

"Okay, cousin. Don't make this a big deal, alright?" Lucas said in frustration and Farkle huffed.

"Anyway, you guys go ahead and go to the party. I'll meet you there." Farkle said as he moved a few steps ahead from them.

"Okay, don't take too long." Lucas said after him and Farkle waved without turning. He waited until Farkle was into the elevator before looking at Riley. "This is all because of you. If you hadn't crashed the car, we wouldn't be in trouble."

"I don't think this is the right time for you to bother with upsetting me, you know?" Riley said with a smile.

"Is this a threat?" Lucas asked, looking at her with wide eyes. "You're going to threaten me tomorrow or after tomorrow as well?"

"Well, you can change your mind at any minute. We're still near my room." Riley suggested. Lucas just looked at her as they kept walking. They didn't even walk three steps when Riley twisted her ankle slightly and almost fell, if it wasn't for Lucas' hand that caught her by the arm and steadied her. Luckily she didn't hurt her ankle as well.

"Look in front of you instead of talking back to me." Lucas said sarcastically with a smirk and Riley yanked her arm out of his grasp.

"I'm not used to this kind of shoes, I always wear pumps or wedges. That's probably why." Riley said with a glare and Lucas sighed, annoyed.

"Let's just get this night over with." He said.

"Yeah. For the first time I actually agree with you." Riley stated.

"Don't talk and look in front of you. C'mon." Lucas said as they started moving once again.

Waiting by the hotel's entrance was josh, in a more casual and a lot less formal attire. He was wearing a simple dark blue button up which he left unbuttoned with a white V-neck underneath along with some jeans. He was leaning against his black car. He kept trying to make himself lean onto it more casually, but really he was just nervous which made him fidgety. He spotted Maya coming out of the hotel and felt breathless for a few seconds. She looked great. She had some of her hair twisted and pulled back with a few strands framing her face. (AN; Maya's hairstyle in the campfire scene).

"I made you wait for quite some time, didn't I?" Maya said with an apologetic smile. Josh opened his mouth before closing it once more and giving a very small shake of his head. He was amazed by how beautiful she looked. Maya frowned her eyebrows in confusion as she tilted her head up slightly to look at him better. Why was he staring at me like that? Maya thought to herself.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something on my face?" Maya asked in confusion and josh finally moved his eyes from her.

"No… um… You look beautiful… Really beautiful." Josh said with a nervous smile as he shifted his weight from his right leg to his left one, back and forth. Maya smiled shyly and looked at the ground.

"Really?" She asked and Josh nodded. "Thank you." They stood there for a few seconds in some sort of awkward atmosphere mainly because of Josh's nervousness. "Shall we go?" Maya asked growing impatient.

"Yeah, we can do that… C'mon." Josh said as he led her to the passenger side, opening the door for her.

"Wow! You're so nice." Maya said teasingly, "I like it." She said and gave a wink before getting into the car, not missing the smile on Josh's face. He closed her door and went to the driver's seat and got in before driving off after they'd both fastened their seatbelts. They were gonna spend some time in town then head back to the hotel for tonight's party.

You may ask why our three main characters were heading to the party at four thirty in the afternoon when the party won't start until seven, well since Farkle is one of the managers as well as Lucas, they had to be there at the before-party. If that makes any sense.

Anyway, arriving after Maya and Josh's was a really well built guy that looked like those giant bodyguard we see in Movies. He arrived in a black Range rover and then headed into the hotel with his bodyguard and driver in toe.

*GMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMW*

"What do you mean by 'your car had a small accident'? What kind of joke is this?" The client said raising his voice at Farkle.

"Will you calm down please, sir?" Farkle said calmly.

"I've never seen or heard of anything like this ever happening before. What's gonna happen now?" The client said ignoring Farkle's words.

"Don't worry, your car will be back to it's original state as fast as possible. On top of that, you and your family won't pay any taxes during your stay here, it's on us. You'll be our guests. We'll be happy if you accept our offer as a form of apology." Farkle said and he could sense that the man was almost convinced. The man looked at the manager who shrugged as in to tell him 'if I were you, I'd accept.'

"Okay then." The man said.

"I'm glad we were able to sort this out with you, sir." Farkle said standing up and reaching his hand out and the man stood up and shook his hand.

"Me too, have a nice day." The man said.

"Have a nice day, sir." The manager said and the man left his office. "You solved this in a really good way, Mr. Farkle."

"When a man has a cousin like Lucas, learning how to deal with these sort of things is a must for him." Farkle said with a smile. "Anyways, if there isn't anything else then I'll head to the party now."

"Have a nice time, sir." The manager said and Farkle nodded before making his way out of the office.

*GMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMW*

Lucas and Riley made their way into the party together. To anyone, they looked like a couple, especially with how color coordinated their clothes are with each other. The waitress met them halfway and led them towards an empty table. Riley's hair was flying because of the wind as she looked at sea and sky in front of her as she walked. She also like the way the green of the trees that covered the mountains met with dark blue-greenish color of the sea then with the light blue color of the sky. Beautiful.

"Would you like to order anything?" The waitress, which was wearing a white skater skirt with a pink tank top tucked into it, asked.

"I don't want anything, now. Wait until everyone arrives and then we will order." Lucas said.

"And you, Miss?"

"Sprite, please." Riley answered her with a smile and the girl nodded before leaving.

"That's what I think as well. The best thing for you is sprite." Lucas said teasingly.

"It would be good if you don't bother me." Riley said with a scowl on her face.

"What did I say now? You get mad because of everything. Thinking about you is a sin anyways."

"I'm pretty sure that's how it is. Please God, get this night over with as fast as possible so that I could get rid of you quickly." Riley said as she looked at the sky in a pray and Lucas chuckled.

"That's my opinion as well." Lucas said and gave her a smile. He looked at the people around them. There was a lot of pretty girls but for some reason, he thought that Riley was the prettiest. Coincidently, she was the only brunette as well. All the other girls were either blondes, redheads, or had some other hair color other than brown. Pretty brunette…. Hmmm that suits her right now since she looks pretty and she's the only brunette here until now. Lucas thought to himself.

*GMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMW*

Caitlyn stood in front of the full length mirror in her room as she fixed her skirt. She took a mirror selfie for her snapchat as well as a few other normal selfies for snapchat as well.

She was wearing a navy blue two-piece dress that consisted of a long sleeved crop top. It had a strapless crop top shirt attached to it from underneath for coverage since the entire thing was lace and the lace had jewels decorating it. The skirt was a floral flared skirt that if it wasn't for the flare, it would've been a normal skater skirt. The skirt had a variety of dark pink and light pink roses so she wore a pair of pink pumps that had a bow on the front of the ankle strap.

Her hair was curled and she teased the crown of her head before securing it with a few poppy pins and grapping some hair from each side and pinning it to the back of her head in a half up do with a few strands framing her face beautifully. She kept her makeup simple with a smokey eye and pink lips. For accessories, she wore her favorite rings and a pair of earrings that had a pink flower dangling from them. Her phone rang and she went to answer it, having put it on her vanity after taking the pictures.

"Where are you now, girl?" Sofia asked right when she answered the phone.

"I'm at the hotel, Sof." Caitlyn told her with a smile.

"I'm dying out of curiosity, Cait. Tell me, how is it going so far?"

"It's going amazing, Sofia." Caitlyn said with a smile that could literally be heard through her voice. She leaned on the high TV table, not wanting to wrinkle her skirt by sitting down. "Look, I'll tell you everything face to face when I come back, okay? With every detail, move, facial expressions… everything!"

"Crazy girl." Sofia said with a laugh. "Look, your brother will be around you all the time. Don't let anyone understand what's going on, okay?"

"Who will understand anyways?"

"Are you the one saying that? You probably stared at Ian for at least ten minutes without even blinking. A few times as well."

"What can I do? My bae is so handsome. Can you believe that we only have a wall separating us right now?" Caitlyn said excitedly. "I can feel it, Sof. I'm getting closer to him as time passes."

"How's your brother's girlfriend? Did you see her?"

"Nope, I'm meeting her at the party. I'm really curious about her, in all honesty. Hopefully, she's not some rude bitch." Caitlyn said and suddenly someone knocked on her door making her stand straight. "I have to go. Ian is probably here to take me!" She exclaimed in a whisper. "Ahh… I'm so nervous… I can feel it. Something will happen tonight…. I'll hang up now… Goodbye." She said before handing up and hurriedly taking her pink clutch and heading to the door, but not before spraying more perfume and stopping to check her look once more in the mirror before finally opening the door.

"Oh, it's you, brother." She said the smile dropping from her face as Farkle looked at her in confusion.

"Who else were you expecting?"

"No one." She answered with a shake of her head.

"I called you several times but your phone was busy." He said pointing at her phone which was clutched in her hand with her clutch. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, I'm ready." She said with a smile before taking her room keycard and exiting the room, shutting the door behind herself. She opened her clutch as they walked and stuck her phone and keycard inside it.


Riley sipped on her soda as she enjoyed the nice weather and nice music that was playing. She looked around them noticing how dressed up everyone was. When she finished getting dressed, she felt like she'd be over-dressed for a beach party but looking at the girls around her, she was definitely not over-dressed. She looked at the entrance hoping to spot Farkle coming back or even Maya and Josh but all she saw was three really well built men that looked like body guards. One of them looked really familiar though. She tried to remember where she'd seen him before when flashes of the last night's club fight came to her mind and she frowned in panic.

"He's here!" She exclaimed as she grabbed Lucas' arm, startling him.

"Who's here?"

"The guy that you fought with at the bar!"

"What?!" Lucas looked around in panic. "Where?!" He looked at the entrance and spotted the guy, but unfortunately, so did the guy who instantly scowled in anger upon realizing who he was.

"Shit! He saw us! They're coming towards us, Lucas!" Riley exclaimed in panic tugging on his arm. "What are we gonna do?!"

"We'll run, of course. My dad will kill me without a doubt if another problem happens here. That is if this guy doesn't do it first." Lucas said hurriedly, and grabbed Riley's clutch and took hold of the hand that was wrapped around his arm before running. They ran towards where a boat was parked in case of emergencies and Lucas made his way down the ladder that lead to the ocean and jumped into the boat before helping Riley into the boat as well. He started the engine and the boat was off into the ocean, and far from the Hotel.

When they were a safe distance away, he took his phone out of pocket and dialed Farkle's number.

"Are you calling the police?"

"No. I don't have any intentions in being tomorrow's main talk in the newspapers."

"If you don't call the police, you will be! Didn't you see the guy? He looked at us like he was ready to kill us!" Riley exclaimed and Lucas didn't answer her.

"Answer the damn phone, Farkle!" Lucas said hitting the stirring wheel in frustration. He tried calling Ian this time. "Ian isn't answering too. Fuck!"

"I told you to call the fucking police! We're wasting our time! They'll probably come after us now!"

"I can't call them! My dad will know about it in the same instance if I did!" Lucas explained.

"I will do then." Riley said and tried grapping his phone off of his ears. The water had made her hand slippery and when she touched the leather of his phone case, it slid right off her hand and into the floor of the boat, which was filled with water because of how fast they were going. Riley gasped and her hand covered her mouth in shock as Lucas looked from his phone to her with his mouth a gap.

"I can't believe this!" He exclaimed and Riley reached down and grabbed his phone. "Good fucking job! That was just what we needed!" Riley tried to open it but it was lifeless.

"That didn't happen on purpose…" She trailed off guiltily and Lucas glared at her before going back to driving the boat. He hit the wheel a few times in anger.

*GMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMW*

Farkle, Caitlyn and Ian made their way into the party, the three of them looking around at Lucas. Ian looked down at his phone to check the time.

"Lucas called me…" He announced to Farkle with a frown. Farkle took his phone out as well and unlocked it.

"He called me as well." Farkle said. "I'll call him back." Farkle said as they made their way to a table. "He's not answering."

"Brother, when is your girlfriend coming? I'm dying to meet her." Caitlyn said looking up at her brother.

"If only I knew… I'll go look around for her as well as Lucas." Farkle said and left them alone. Caitlyn looked at Ian, deciding that this was her chance.

"Do you want to dance?" she asked with a smile and he looked at her before giving a nod with a smile. He took her hand and led her away from their table and they started dancing to the song that was playing and Caitlyn couldn't contain her smile. Ian smiled back at her. He really loved making her happy.

"Shall we go back to the table now?" Ian asked after dancing with her for a while.

"You can't possibly be tired already." Caitlyn said teasingly as her body moved with the music.

"Of course, I'm not as youthful as you are." At that Caitlyn stopped dancing and scowled.

"What does this have to do with anything? Besides, how big is the age difference between us?" Ian pinched her cheeks playfully.

"C'mon, C'mon." He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and lead her to the table.

"Hey, Ian! Long time no see." A girl with beautiful blonde hair and a very short dress said as she gave him a hug.

"Yeah, we haven't seen you since we took out summer vacation. How are you?" Another one said as she hugged him as well.

"I'm good. I've been busy with the Café and such." Ian said with a smile and a scowl took place on Caitlyn's face. "Oh, let me introduce you. This Caitlyn… You know Farkle?" He said to the blonde.

"Yeah."

"She's his younger sister." Ian said with a smile.

"Hello, nice to meet you, I'm Meghan." The blonde said with a smile and Caitlyn gave her a tight smile while shaking her hand.

"I'm Melanie." The other one said with a smile as well and Caitlyn shook her hand.

"Well, enjoy your time and we'll-" Meghan said but Ian cut her off.

"Join us if you want." Caitlyn glared at him at that.

"That would be great." They joined them and Caitlyn scowled even more as she looked down at the table. Ian turned towards the girls even more, giving them his full attention now. Caitlyn fidget with her hands and clutch as she glared daggers at his back. He kept chatting with the two girls and laughing with them that she couldn't help but feel jealous.

"I have to do something… what do I do?" Caitlyn whispered to herself as she thought about it. She pretended to be dancing to the music before wincing in pain as she clutched her leg and fell to the floor and Ian kneeled down beside her. "Ahhh!" She whimpered in fake pain.

"Are you okay? What happened?" Ian asked concerned.

"My ankle hurts really badly. I think I twisted it." She said with a pained expression on her face.

"How did that happen?" He asked as he checked her ankle making her whimper in pain once again.

"I don't know. It just hurts."

"Are you okay, Caitlyn?" Meghan asked and Caitlyn glanced up at her before looking back at her ankle.

"Let's put ice on it, shall we?" Ian suggested.

"We shall, but… Can we go somewhere quieter?" Caitlyn asked softly.

"Of course." He stood up before helping her up slowly.

"I can't press on it…"

"Don't then." He said as he carried her bridal style and she smiled as she wrapped her arms around his neck. He took her towards the tented seats near the pool, far away from the beach and the party.

*GMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMWGMW*

"Welcome to the Aquamarine hotel, Miss." The porter greeted Kayli as she made her way out of the car. She gave him a smile and a nod before heading into the hotel. She sat down in the café in the lobby and called Lucas, who once again didn't answer.

"Oh Lucas…. Where did you disappear to again?" She said to herself before trying once again. Farkle saw her a smiled slightly.

"Kayli." He said once he was right behind her. She turned to him, with her phone still on her ear. She hanged up and stood up with a relieved smile.

"I was about to call you." She said as she hugged him.

"Welcome to Miami." He said.

"I don't find any sort of welcoming here, Farkle." She said when she pulled away. "Where is Lucas?"

"I was looking for him too. He's probably somewhere around here. He'll show up soon." Farkle said with a smile to hide his nerves. To be honest, Kayli scared him. Not all the time, only when she had a stern look on her face with her arms crossed…. Like right now.

"He knows that I'm coming."

"Well, let me get you your room keycard and you go settle yourself while I look for him, okay?" He said and she nodded with a sigh. When she sat back down, her phone started ringing.

"Hey, mom."

"Where are you now, Kayli?" Her mother said as Minkus looked at her.

"At the hotel."

"Did you arrive comfortably?"

"It was okay."

"Did you meet each other?" Ella asked, sensing that something was off with Kayli's short answers.

"No. He's not around, again. He's probably doing something but…" She trailed off as she saw Farkle coming back towards her. "Anyways, how are you? Did you arrive at LA?"

"I'm on my way to Cathy's, honey." Ella said as she looked at Minkus who gave her a smile.

"Okay, mom. Let me settle into my room and we'll talk again. Don't worry about me." They said their goodbyes and when she hanged up, she stood up as Farkle reached her. He led her to the elevator with the porter after them with her bag. She went up to her room and started getting ready right away since she wasn't tired.

She started on her makeup and after doing the basics, she proceeded in doing a smokey eye to make her blue eyes pop. She applied mascara then did her eyebrows before bronzing and highlighting her face. She added a beautiful pink lipstick to her lips and she was done. For her hair, she curled it, having had it straight the whole day. She curled it before pulled it all in a fancy-messy up do with a few pieces of her caramel brown hair framing her face. She had brown hair with caramel and blonde balayage. (AN; You know Meghan Reinks the youtuber? Her hair color before she'd cut it.)

After finishing her makeup and hair, she slipped into her bright neon yellow dress. It was a tight dress so it hung on her body nicely. She paired it with a pair of black pumps and a black clutch. She wore a silver statement necklace and a pair of simple silver earrings.

She took her phone and tried calling Lucas again.

"I can't reach him until now." She said worriedly before taking her clutch and room keycard and heading out of the room.

"Can you find me the phone number for the girl that works at the pool bar? Riley?" Farkle asked a receptionist.

"Okay, Mr. Farkle." She said before searching for it on her computer.

"Mr. Lucas hasn't called, has he?" Farkle asked the other receptionist.

"No he didn't, Mr. Farkle. I'll ask the others."

"Okay, I'm waiting." He said before looking around as he waited. "It's not normal for him to disappear like that." He mumbled to himself.

"Mr. Farkle, this is Riley's phone number." The girl said as she handed him a piece of paper. He took it and thanked her before dialing the number and going straight to voicemail with even a single ring.

"She can't be reached either. Where the hell are they?!" Farkle said loudly then noticed that those people don't know.

"There's no one that Mr. Lucas has talked to or called." The other receptionist said.

"Okay then. Form a team and make them search for him all around the hotel, right away." Farkle said and the guy nodded before hurriedly going to do as asked.

Kayli spotted Farkle and made her way towards him with a worried expression on her face.

"Farkle… Haven't you heard anything from him, yet?" She asked and Farkle turned to her and shook his head. "Farkle… You're not hiding anything from me, are you?"

"Kayli… what could I possibly hide from you?" Kayli looked at him worriedly as he thought about the situation.

Where the hell are they?


Lucas kept driving the boat in the ocean, not knowing where they were heading or where they are. They were definitely a safe distance away from land. All of a sudden, the engine started making weird sounds and slowed down to a stop in the water. Lucas and Riley looked at it in confusion. Lucas tried to turn it on once again and failed.

"What happened? Why did we stop?" Riley asked him.

"Fuck!" Lucas exclaimed with a huff.

"What happened?!" Riley pressed.

"We ran out of fuel."

"WHAT?!" Riley exclaimed. "What are we gonna do now? Are we stuck here?"

"Yes. We're stuck. You're such a misfortune bringer." He snapped at her as he looked at her.

"Why do I have to be the misfortune bringer? You're the one who brings bad luck." Riley snapped back as she ran a hand in her hair in frustration.

"If only my phone hadn't fell into the water because of YOU, we would've called for help now." He said calmly. "So in my opinion, don't talk too much." Riley looked at him guiltily.

"Okay…" She said and Lucas sighed as he looked around them.

"We can't wait here."

"What else are we gonna do then?" Lucas spotted a ship not so far from them and pointed at it.

"We'll swim to that ship."

"What? We'll get into the water? That's not possible." Riley said in fear.

"Look, calm down… Just hold on to me and don't panic or drown me, okay?" He said soothingly to calm her fear. "I'll hold you."

"What if I drowned?"

"Riley, you're bullshitting." She sighed and looked at the ship for a few moments.

"Okay…. But… Don't let me go please, okay?" Lucas smirked at her and leaned back in the boat.

"Are you begging me?" He said smugly with a smirk and Riley looked at his in disbelief.

"You can't possibly be bad enough to use this situation like this." She said in disbelief but with a glare and Lucas huffed as he looked around them.

"Actually I can, but even I can't take this adrenaline rush from being in this boat. C'mon, let's go." He said and stood up. Riley clutched his arm and stood up as well. He got into the water and helped her into it before helping her onto his back and started swimming with her on his back, for the second time this day. He swam for about five minutes before they reached the ladder of the ship. He helped her on it and then went up after her.

Riley was shivering as she made her way towards where she saw a table and chairs on the ship. She stood there shivering as Lucas looked around them.

"There's probably no one here." He said before looking at the wheel that Riley was standing next and the cable that was beside it that was supposed to send and receive messages to the shore. "Just my fucking luck! The cable is cut."

"I'm not even one percent surprised." Riley said through her shivers as she hugged her body. "What are we gonna do now?"

"I think we should stay here. It wouldn't be a great idea to swim with you back to the hotel."

"I can't believe you're making fun of me in this situation." Riley said with a glare at him.

"Making fun of you? I said that because you can't swim and I can't swim all this distance with you on my back. One of is bond to drown if I do that." Lucas explained.

"Let's not make this talk longer." Riley snapped. She wasn't annoyed with him as much as she was annoyed with how cold she was. They sat down and Riley hugged her knees to her chest while making sure that her dress wasn't exposing her.

"I'll go take a look inside. Maybe I'll find something useful for us." Lucas said and Riley nodded before she watched him make his was into closed part of the ship that was for the crew to sleep in. He tried opening the doors that were inside but they were all locked.

"I can't believe this… I can't believe that I got stuck in a ship in the middle of god knows where with this jerk instead of being Farkle's girlfriend." Riley said to herself in frustration. Lucas found some clothes and took them all out of their place.

"RILEY!" He called for her.

"YES?"

"Will you come here, please?" Riley huffed.

"I'm coming." She said before making her way to him. Lucas was unbuttoning his shirt as he talked to her.

"I found some clothes. You can change into them if you want." He said nodding towards the clothes.

"I can do that." Riley said before she looked at him to find him taking his shirt off. "What do you think you're doing?" She said before hurriedly covering her eyes and turning her back to him.

"What does it look like I'm doing? I'm not going to stay in these wet clothes. It'll be best if you took your clothes off too. You'll get sick if you don't."

"What!?" Riley exclaimed as she turned to him. Even though she tried her hardest not to glance at him, he had a really great chest. He looked hot shirtless. "Are you a pervert?! What is your goal? I swear to god that I'll kill you if you touch me!"

"You're seriously sick. First off, you're not my type." Even though you look gorgeous in this dress even if your hair is wet and your makeup is slightly smudged. He thought. "I wouldn't turn around and even glance at you if I stay stuck in a deserted island not just the sea. Secondly, I don't know what kind of impression I left on you, but I'm not a pervert."

Riley looked at him as he took a shirt from the clothes he found before she turned her back to him once more. He buttoned the shirt that was at least a size big on him before taking his white pants off and putting on the pair of beige ones that were, again, about a size or two big for him. He took his money out of his old pants and stuck them into his pockets before making his way past Riley and out of the room.

Riley looked at the clothes and found a plaid button up a long with a pair of white shorts. She looked at the door ensuring that Lucas was far from seeing distance before she unzipped her dress from the side zipper. She took her arm out one of straps and swept her hair to one side. She had almost her entire back showing when Lucas made his way down the first two steps to the room before coming to a halt upon seeing her naked back. He couldn't help or stop himself from checking her out and marveling slightly at the exposed skin.

Riley suddenly turned with her dress clutched to her chest and gasped upon seeing him there.

"Pardon… I'll leave." Lucas said hurriedly.

"What are you even doing here!?" Riley yelled.

"Don't yell… I was coming to take something to drink. Would you like something to drink?"

"No, I don't want anything." She snapped.

"Okay, don't get mad. I'm leaving." He turned his head suddenly and pumped it into the ceiling. "Ouch! My head…" he winced in pain as he clutched his head.

"You never know when God is going to punish you." Riley mumbled loudly for him to hear.

"You're the biggest punishment that God gave me, honey." Lucas said before he finally left. Riley checked that he was far away before she took off her dress completely and put on the pair of shorts that were a bit big for her but nothing that couldn't be handled with the attached belt. She slipped on the plaid button up over her bra and buttoned it up.

She wasn't looking forward for what's going to happen until they go back to the hotel.

God only knows when they will go back.

What if they're stuck like this forever?


Here we go again. Lucas and Riley disappeared together once more but this time in the middle of nowhere. Also, did you see how I sneaked the whole 'pretty brunette' nickname into this?

Before anything, I'd like to answer the two questions I got in the reviews. First of all, Minkus is a single father. He and his wife had a divorce. Same thing with Ella, she's a divorced woman. I don't know if i'll ever mention it clearly in the story since Minkus and Ella are pretty much just supporting characters. So, would you still call any kind of relationship between them an affair? well until now it kind of is since no one knows but we'll see more of this next chapter.

As for why Kayli called Cathy aunt, I didn't know how Kayli is supposed to call her and I didn't find it respectful for her to call her just Cathy, you know?

As for the story in general, I'm kind of fearing it's future... Ramadan is starting in about a week and half and you guys may or may not know, we fast from 3 something in the morning to 7 in the evening and Ramadan is the month where we devote all of our time to prayers and Quran because when we do that plus the fasting, by the end of the month, everything that has happened in the year before becomes forgiven. My point is, I don't know when or how frequent I'm gonna be updating during that month.

Then after that, I have my senior year in high school. In my country, this is the toughest, most serious year in our school life, and I want to be a dentist so I'll have to devote all my time to studying starting from August. I wouldn't have time to breath let alone update since in my country, it's a big, big deal.

So until August, I'm gonna try and update as frequently as possible so that this story is done by the time I start the school year since I don't want to put this on hiatus. I know it's still way to early, but I just wanted to explain to you guys. So please, wish me luck that I'll be able to do it.

Anyways, did you like the chapter? what was your favorite bit?

Tell me what do you think will happen next and how they'll possibly get out of this situation. Also, is it okay for you if they curse in the story? Is it okay if Riley does occasionally?

Until next time,
