Riley smiled in her sleep as she feels Lucas pull her closer and his lips on her neck as they laid on the couch. After she made fun of him for being such a goof they rotated inside and spent the night talking into the early morning.
"Lucas." She moans tilting her head as he moves on top of her. She feels him smile into her neck as she moans his name. He slides his hand under her shirt as she draped one leg over him. "How about I go get us breakfast?" He whispers between kisses.
Riley opens her eyes shouting breakfast pushing him off and making him fall on the ground. "Ow!" He groans as Riley bites her lip trying to hide her smile. "If you didn't want to have breakfast with me you could have said so." Lucas tells her sitting up.
"Sorry. Are you okay?" She asked looking at her door and trying to find her phone. "Plans with your other boyfriend?" Lucas joked watching as she runs to her room changing. "No we meet at his place. We like to rotate the days." She tells him as she brushes her teeth.
He grabs her pulling her on his lap kissing her. "That's not funny." He tells her shaking his head as she puts her arms around his neck. "I beg to differ." She tells him tilting her head and scrunching her face. He chuckles and starts tickling her sides as she giggles then stops when her doorbell rings.
"The boyfriend?" Lucas asked as Riley clamps her hand over his mouth pulling him into her bedroom. "Who is it?" Lucas asked as she yells just a minute out her door. She walks towards her window opening it and gestures for him to go out it.
He folds his arms across his chest smiling shaking his head. "Riley?" Both their eyes widen at the sound of her dad's voice. "Forgot I gave him a key." Riley mutters under her breath walking to her open bedroom door.
"Sorry dad overslept I'll be out in a minute just getting dressed." She closes her door as her dad sits down on the couch turning on the tv. She turns back to Lucas and sees him halfway out her window already. She couldn't help laughing as she goes over to help him.
"Can I see you later?" He asked as he stops moving out the window. Riley looks at him smiling and says maybe. He chuckles and starts climbing back inside as she pushes him out. "Say yes Juliet." She blushes biting her lip smiling as she nods her head.
He kisses her quickly smiling saying parting is such sweet sorrow and chuckles as she giggles saying see you later Romeo. Riley composes herself and take a deep breath opening her door walking into the living room.
"Hi daddy ready to go?" She asked grabbing her bag. She makes her way to the door when his voices stops her. "He could have used the front door you know." Riley turned around with wide eyes looking at her dad who shook his head as they made their way out her place.
"Nothing happened daddy we just talked and fell asleep." Riley tells him as they sit down in their favorite diner. He nods looking at the menu telling her he knew nothing did. She looks at him confused making him smile at her putting his menu down as she asks how.
"Because I know you and I trust your judgement when it comes to who you see." Riley nods looking down chewing her lip. "Sweetheart you can't blame yourself for Jay he had us all fooled. I would however like to meet this new guy."
"You have met him it's Lucas." Riley tells him as she smiles looking at him. "What? He's forty! If I had known it was him I would have burst through your bedroom door." Riley starts laughing asking him why he didn't and laughs harder when he says Topanga and her witchy ways distracted him with a phone call.
"You know he still wants to asks your permission to date me." She tells him laughing as he makes a face as they leave the diner. "Can I tell him no? Pretty please?" He asked when Riley shakes her head no.
They walk in the apartment and Riley plops down on the couch shaking her head as she watches her dad dig through the fridge. "Dad we literally just had breakfast how are you still hungry?" He unwraps a pop tart biting it before putting it in the toaster.
"Riley you know your father is always hungry." Her mom tells her laughing as she comes down the steps kissing Riley on the head. "Topanga listen to this your daughter is dating some forty year old who wants to asks me my permission to date her. Can you believe that?"
Topanga looks at him taking his pop tart as Riley shakes her head saying he wasn't forty.
"Cory if he asks you hear him out and then give him permission most men don't even think to asks. I know you didn't." Topanga joked trying not to laugh as he stomps his foot as he walks away saying no thanks to her.
"Thanks mommy." Riley smiles hugging her as she yells bye to her dad who kept saying over and over he wasn't going to say yes to him. She had just walked outside when she hears her dad's voice on the intercom.
"If you really want me to give my permission tell him I'll meet him at your place Saturday." He tells her bye after that not waiting for her to give a response to him. She stared at the intercom a few minutes and then headed to the bakery.
The whole walk to the bakery she thought it was weird he wanted to meet him at her place of all places. She thought if anything he would want to meet at the bakery or their place. Then she smiled realizing her place was the perfect spot to bury Lucas body after her dad murders him to get out of giving his permission.
She was so lost in her thoughts she didn't notice she bump into someone until she felt their hands on her arms. "Oh I'm sorry I wasn't... what are you doing here?" She asked pushing his hands away when she sees who it is.
"Oh come on don't pretend you aren't over the moon with happiness to see me?" Jay smiled at her. Riley rolled her eyes walking away from but not before giving him the finger. "Wow you got feisty Riley. Got to say I find that very sexy."
Riley shivers pretending to vomit as she smacks his hand away when he tries to touch her. "Why are you following me?" She asked making sure to go in the opposite way of her new place so he wouldn't show up unannounced to her house.
"How do you know I'm following you? I could live over here?" He tells her whistling as he walked the same pace as her. She scoffed knowing he didn't live anywhere near where they were since it was all family owned homes.
"So I think we should have dinner tonight?" Jay tells her as Riley ignores him crossing the street. "Well I think you should go to hell but I guess we both can't get what we want now can we?"She tells him smiling as she turns hearing someone call her name.
Riley smiled when she seen it was Vanessa walking towards her. "Feisty Riley we should still have dinner." Jay tells her as he walks away from her. Riley rolls her eyes in disgust and turns back to Vanessa.
"Friend of yours?" Vanessa asks her as they hug each other. "More like a mistake I can't seem to shake." Riley scoffed with a shake of her head. Vanessa smiles and looks in the direction of where Jay walked. "I feel like I've seen him before he looked very familiar."
She shook her head laughing as Riley tells her she would feel sorry for anyone who was friends with a pompous jackass like him. "So what brings you over this way?" She asks as they start walking back the way Vanessa came from.
"Honestly nothing really trying to escape that idiot." Vanessa laughs as they walk into one of the houses. "Is this your place?" Riley asked as she looked around seeing all the family pictures of her and Zay and some of Lucas.
"Yeah sorry I just walked in like you've been in here before." They share a laugh as she shows her around the place. Vanessa smiles when she sees Riley staring at a picture of Lucas and Zay from when they were younger.
"Sorry got distracted." Riley tells her blushing when she sees Vanessa looking at her. "It's okay Lucas has the same smile on his face when I asks about you. I've never seen him so smiley before. I wasn't sure he had teeth."
Riley looks at her weirdly and she explains Lucas is someone who broods more than smiles. So it's pretty amazing to see him so happy since he didn't have a great childhood. "Yeah he told me." Riley smiled accepting the cup of coffee she hands her. "What?" Riley asked when she sees her look at her as she puts down the plate of cookies.
"Oh it's nothing I'm just surprised he told you. He's like a brick wall you have to take a sledgehammer to. But with you it seems like those walls were never there." She smiles as she bites into a cookie.
Riley looks at the picture of him and Zay as Vanessa takes a call in the other room. "Well this is great." Vanessa says angrily slamming her phone down on the table scaring Riley. "Sorry that was the girl who was supposed to be my model calling to tell me she can't make it and on top of that the place I wanted to use is booked up."
She rubs her head as Riley asks her what she does for a living. Vanessa tells her she owns a clothing store and has her own line. She was getting ready for her fall line but everything she had planned was falling through the cracks.
"Is it just women clothing or both?" Riley asked pulling out her phone. "Women for now although I'm starting a men's line why?" Vanessa asks as Riley smiles at her.
"Okay riles why did you call us all here?" Maya asked as she walks in with Josh, the geniuses and Auggie, Ava and Doy. Riley smiles at her as she slings her camera over her shoulder. "Well I know this is completely short notice and you all probably had other plans but I need a favor."
She explained what she was doing and bounced up and down when everyone agreed to help Vanessa with her clothing line. "Wait nessa B is Vanessa?" Maya asked when Riley showed her the website. "Oh my gosh I love her stuff!"
"Well thank you." Maya and Riley turn towards the front door where Vanessa was bringing in her stuff. She smiled as the next hour while Vanessa was getting the girls ready Riley enlisted the boys to help her set up in her backyard.
"So this is what you've been doing instead of enjoying my company?" Riley bit her lip smiling only to glare at the boys who were making kissy faces at her. She turned around and seen Lucas walking towards her with flowers in his hand.
"Romeo Romeo wherefore art thy Romeo." The boys looked at them weirdly as Lucas hands her the flowers bowing in front of her making her giggle. "Aw dude they're gonna be gross let's go inside." Auggie tells them laughing as Riley hands him her flowers.
"So Juliet since your weekdays are busy can I see you this weekend?" Lucas asked as they walk towards her swing. Riley sits down as Lucas swings her letting out a little laugh. "What?" Riley tells him what her dad said and he looks at her with wide eyes and tries to run.
Riley shakes her head and runs after him jumping on his back. "Come on Romeo wouldn't have ran." Riley tells him as he shakes his head at her telling her oh yes he would have. She sighs getting off his back and turning him to face her putting her arms around his neck.
"Please for me?" She asked with a smile on her face and her puppy dog eyes. He groans pulling her closer to him and nods his head. "Yay!" Riley shouts before kissing him. He chuckles lifting her up making her giggle louder.
"Hey put my photographer down Friar!" He sets her down looking at Vanessa who walks towards them. "Hey V what are you doing here?" He asked as they hugged. "Well your girlfriend is a goddess and is helping me with my photo shoot."
Lucas makes her blush as he says yes she was. He kisses her hand and she gets to work on taking photos of the girls putting the boys to work. They spend the next hour and a half laughing and pretending they were on the catwalk. Amazed that Smackle could walk in high heels.
"Okay I have one dressed left and I have the perfect model for it." Vanessa tells her smiling as she pulls her back into her room. Riley comes back out with her hair curled and down in a knee length lavender dress that flared out tying around her neck.
Everyone turned to look at her as she walked towards her camera. "What? I've worn dresses before this." She gestures at her dress. "Is nothing new." They continue looking until Riley blinds them with her flash.
"Okay Riley sit on the swing." Josh instructs as Riley folds her hands across her chest looking at him like who made him boss. He chuckles holding up her camera giving her a look telling her she couldn't very well take her own picture.
She huffs but sits as Josh pinches her cheek making her seat his hand away. "Okay Ms. Matthews big smile show me some teeth woman!" Josh shouts at her as he blinds her with the flash. Maya shakes her head and looks at her and then at Lucas who was inside but came out staring at Riley.
"Hold the photos! I have an idea." Maya tells them pulling Lucas and Vanessa back in the house. They come back out holding bags as the rest of the group look at them confused. They don't say anything and Maya makes Lucas climb up the tree the swing was attached to.
Her and Vanessa toss up the bags as Riley looks up smiling at him as he winks at her. Maya tells Josh he can start taking pictures again just not with the flash. He does and Lucas starts floating down rose petals on Riley making her giggle as she swings.
They take a few more where Lucas stands on a ladder tossing flowers down while Riley still was giggling and twirling around only stopping when she gets dizzy. "That's a wrap people!" Maya shouts as Riley lays on the porch and trying not to puke.
"How you doing babe want a water?" Riley looks up at Lucas weirdly saying babe. He chuckles sitting down next to her helping her sit up. "Thought I try it out. But you don't look like a babe." She nudges him as she said she wasn't a pig making him look at her confused making her laugh.
"So I assume I'm not going to be seeing you alone tonight?" Lucas asked looking in the living room seeing everyone laid out passing around chips. "Sadly no. As much as I prefer your company tonight I did promise them pizza."
Lucas nods kissing her forehead as they both stand and Vanessa comes out the house. "All packed up. Thank you again Riley you truly are a lifesaver." She tells her giving her a hug. "No problem. But wait your dress." Riley tells her as she shakes her head smiling.
"That dress is so you I couldn't bare seeing it any other place." Riley smiles as she walks with them to Vanessa's car. "I can have those pictures developed and ready for you in a couple of days." Riley tells her as she thanks her once again.
"So Saturday should I make sure someone knows my whereabouts?" Lucas joked leaning against the car as Riley wrapped her arms around his neck. "I would say no but maybe make sure someone has a copy of your dental records you never know with my dad."
He looks at her with wide eyes making her smile as he shakes his head at her. "Messing with me aren't ya?" Riley kisses his cheek and shrugs before walking back towards her front door. Lucas smiles shaking his head and opening the passenger door. "Hey!" He calls out just as she reached the steps.
"You look gorgeous and not just because the dress." He winks at her making her hold her cheeks to hide how red they were at his words. She smiles and walks in shaking her head at her friends and hitting Auggie with a pillow when he reenact what Lucas told her with Doy.
"What?" Lucas asks as he helps Vanessa carry in her stuff setting it down. He seen her smiling at him the whole car ride there. "I didn't say anything." He shakes his head as she still wore the same smile.
"Okay whatever you say." He tells her pulling out his phone texting Riley with a huge smile on his face. "She's something else isn't she?" Vanessa asked coming from behind him and making him jump.
"Yeah she is." Lucas tells her looking at the picture he had of her on his phone. Vanessa sits next to him bouncing on the couch. "Okay what is this?" Lucas asked chuckling as he turns to her.
"You love her!" Vanessa blurts out smiling as Lucas looks at her with wide eyes. "I don't love her maybe I like her but we've only been together less than a month and no I don't it's to soon." He tells her shaking his head at her.
"Luke love knows no time. Look at Zay and me. We said I love you after our fourth date." Lucas gives her a look walking towards the kitchen. "V you and Zay are different you guys have known each other forever."
He walks to the fridge getting a drink for him and her. Vanessa follows him shaking her head. "You have never been like this with other girls. Besides your meeting her dad on Saturday that's something I've never seen you do before. And honestly I've never seen you date the same girl for longer than you and Riley been together."
"I don't know if you could call that love Vanessa. Maybe I'm growing up." Lucas tells her not wanting to talk about it anymore. She laughs telling him maybe or the love bug and Riley have something to do with it. She leaves him with his thoughts when Zay walk in the door.
"So I think this may be a first." Riley tells Maya as they clean up after everyone left. "What? Catching our genius friends practically getting it on in the bathroom?" Maya laughs as Riley makes a face shivering.
"I will never be able to look at them the same way." Riley tells her sitting on the counter eating pizza. "Yeah they were like geniuses in heat. I guess when you break up and get back together you get randy."
Riley laughed but put her pizza down looking at Maya who did the same. "I ran into Jay the other day." Riley tells her as Maya's eyes go wide. "What? And you're now just telling me?" Riley gives her a look and Maya says sorry.
"What did he say or want?" Riley sighed as Maya poured them both some wine. "What every pompous narcissistic jackass wants. But don't worry I told him exactly where he could go." Maya smiles as they clink their glasses laughing.
Riley groan as she pulled out different outfits out of her closet but couldn't seem to find the perfect one. Her dad told her he decided he was going to barbecue and she knew that meant nothing good.
She knew there was more to what he was saying and she was right he invited her grandparents over as well. She tried calling Lucas but it went to voicemail and told him about the extra guests.
"Sweetheart what are you doing?" Her mom asked noticing her lying on her bed surrounded by clothes. "Trying to find the right outfit but nothing is calling out to me." Her mom laughed hanging the clothes back up handing her a pair of jeans and her favorite blue sweater.
"Now hurry up your father is lighting the grill and I'm sure a trip to the emergency room is in our near future." Riley laughed getting up grabbing her phone to call Lucas again. "Hey it's me your missing out on my dad lighting the grill. We usually have to go to the emergency room since he tends to think he is a master chef."
She laughs looking out the window. "Well just let me know when you're on your way." She hangs up finishing getting dressed but Lucas never shows.
Before anyone gets mad at Lucas he will have a reason he didn't show. And he'll have to deal with the consequences from Cory and his lawyer.
