"So Riley as you know Ava's sweet sixteen is coming up at the end of the month. And she would like..." I cut Auggie off and finish for him "and she would like to meet Lucas and the rest of the cast for her birthday." He smiles and says "hey how did you know that?" I chuckle getting up walking back to the front of the bakery and say "Auggie every time I see her she not so subtly hints at it." He smiles and says "so as my favorite sister and person next to Ava think you could arrange something?" He gives me the famous Matthews sibling puppy dog eyes and I smile.

"okay I'll asks Luke when I get home. Hopefully he's home." Ever since Colin and I became unofficial boyfriend and girlfriend I haven't really seen him and I was starting to miss him. Auggie starts getting excited "but I make no guarantees they agree to it. I know Lucas might but not sure Missy would unless we paid her." Auggie rolls his eyes and says "I think Ava wouldn't mind if Missy missed it she isn't her favorite character or person." I laugh wiping down the counter while he goes and serves a customer. "Hey sweetie." My dad says walking in with Shawn. I gasps and say "uncle Shawn!" I run hugging him and he chuckles and says "hey kiddo how ya been?"

We pull back and I smile and say "I'm good nothing to complain about." He and my dad sit at the counter and I cut them pieces of pie and he says "so what's this I hear about a new boyfriend?" My cheeks heat up and I say "alright who squealed?" My dad holds his hand up and oinks making us laugh. "So when do we get to meet this boyfriend of yours that has you smiling like that?" Shawn says poking my dimples. I giggle looking at the door and say "well here is your chance now." They look towards the door and Colin walks in holding roses.

"Afternoon beautiful." He says walking to the counter leaning over it to kiss my cheek. I giggle and my dad and Shawn both cough and clear their throats loudly. I look at them shaking my head and say "Colin this is my dad Cory Matthews and my uncle Shawn hunter." Colin's eyes widen and he shakes both their hands at the same time and says "wow okay I didn't know I would be meeting you guys tonight I would have dressed a little better than my scrubs but I just got off and I wanted.." I cover his mouth and say "Oh yeah I forgot he's a rambler." Both Shawn and my dad chuckle making Colin turn red.

"So your a doctor huh?" Shawn says rubbing his chin circling Colin. I shake my head and see my dad stand in front of him looking him up and down. "I don't know shawnie he seems nervous like he's up to something." "Daddy!" I shout. He chuckles holding up his hand and continues looking at him. They both start circling Colin and looking him up and down. "Um should I be scared of what's happening?" Colin whispers to me. I smile shaking my head and both Shawn and my dad pat his shoulder making him jump and start laughing. Shawn and him whisper before my dad says "I approve. But I would like to have you over for dinner one of these days."

Colin smiles and says "I think that can be arranged." His phone goes off and he looks at it before looking at me. "Sorry it's the hospital I'm on call so I gotta go. It was nice meeting you two. I look forward to that dinner Mr. Matthews." I tell them I was walking him to his car and walk out behind him. "Well Ms. Matthews you paged." Colin says leaning on his car smiling as I walk towards him. I giggle throwing my arms around his neck kissing him and say "well how else was I suppose to get time alone with you?"

He chuckles and kisses my neck. "You know even after a month of dating I never get tired of kissing you." I gasps hitting him and say "who told you we were dating?" He chuckles shaking his head pulling me closer. "Me everytime I'm near you. But I'm a patient guy." He whispers in my ear. I shiver at his words and feel him smirking into my neck. I giggle and he smiles and says "so how much are you going to miss me when I have to leave next week?" I squint my eyes and say "not that much I'll have my other boyfriend to keep me company."

He smiles smacking my butt making me gasps. "Mr. James you kinky man." He chuckles kissing me. "Come with me. You can hang by the pool while I'm in my boring conferences and then we can have dinner and take in the sites of San Francisco." I smile and say "I wish I could but I promised my mom I would cater her luncheon this weekend and plus a big time director wants me to serve my dessert on his movie set next week." Colin grins lifting me up and says "Riley that's amazing! Why didn't you tell me?"

I play with his hands and say "nobody knew well except Maya really and I didn't want to jinx it. But I'm so excited!" He cups my cheeks and says "I'm excited for you too! I say we celebrate this big moment. Dinner on me?" I smile and say "I don't think that's very sanitary." His eyes widen and he smiles saying "Riley Matthews I swear you get dirtier ever time I see you." I kiss his face and say "maybe. But dinner sounds wonderful let's say my place 8?" He smiles and hears his phone go off. He sighs resting his head on my shoulder and says "the hospital is looking for me. I better go." I pout and he grins kissing my cheeks.

"I'll see you tonight beautiful." I smack his butt and say "you better." He chuckles and winks as he drives away. I walk back in the bakery smiling and see Shawn and my dad shaking their head at me. "What? He parked pretty far." Shawn chuckles while my dad covers his ears. An hour passes by and I hear "Miley. Miley!" I knew who it was but ignore her. "Miley!" She snaps her fingers at me and Auggie comes up and whispers "um Riley I think Missy is talking to you?" I smile and whisper "I know."

He laughs and I continue to ignore her and she stands in front of the counter and says "I know you hear me?" I laugh and looking up and say "oh bitsy I didn't see you there." She rolls her eyes and says "whatever look is that ghastly furniture in your apartment yours or Lucas?" I fold my arms and say "why and it's not ghastly." I mimic her making her roll her eyes so far I swear they rolled all the way around a bit. "I'm only asking so when Lucas moves in I can throw it away if it was his."

My mouth opens and I shout "what?!" She smiles and says "oh he didn't tell you. Well Lucas and I are moving in together. He's packing as we speak." I take off my apron and Auggie walks over and says "don't worry I'll close up." And I head for home. I get home seeing the moving truck out front and throw the door open and shout "Lucas Eugene Friar you jackass where are you?!" Josh and Zay walk out the kitchen and run out the door and I see Mr. and Mrs. Friar come out Lucas room holding boxes. My cheeks heat up and I say "oh I'm so sorry I didn't know you guys were here. I apologize for my outburst."

Mr. Friar chuckles patting my shoulder passing by me and Mrs. Friar walks up putting her box down and says "Riley sweetheart it's good to see you but what's with the shouting?" I hug her and apologize once again and she shakes her head and I say "is Lucas here?" She says "no he left to get more tape. What's the matter?" I sit on the couch and start to tear up and say "he didn't... he didn't tell me he was leaving." She gives me a sad smile and hugs me. "Well I understand why you called him a jackass now." I laugh and wipe my eyes. Josh comes back up and says Lucas was back and I wipe my eyes and head to my room climbing out the window to Maya.

"hey riles what's the matter?" She asks when I throw myself on the floor. "Lucas is moving out and he didn't even tell me. I had to hear it from that demon Missy." Maya shakes her head and lays on the floor next to me and says "I'm sorry Riley." We hear someone knock on her door and she gets up and answers it. "Hey riles there's someone here to see you." I look up and see Lucas standing there staring at me. I don't get up and say "what do you want?" He chuckles and sits next to me and says "I just wanted to give you this?" He hovers his house key over me. I snatch it getting up and climb out the window.

He sticks his head out the window and says "Ri wait!" He climbs out the window and I hurry inside and lock my window and text Maya to lock hers once he went out. I hear him banging on the window but I ignore him. His mom stands in my doorway and shakes her head. I see him climb down and run so I run to the front door but he beats me to it and says "ha! I beat ya!" I roll my eyes punching him and walk to my room slamming my door and locking it. "Riley come on can I please talk to you?" I ignore him laying on my bed and he continues to knock.

"there's nothing to talk about Eugene. You gave me your key and I assume all your stuff is packed so you can go like you planned." I hear him sigh and walk away. I wait a minute and hear the front door close too. I continue to stare at my ceiling till I hear a knock on my window. I get up and open it letting Maya in. "So he left huh?" She says once I lay back down. I don't say anything just stare at the ceiling. "Want me to go pop the tires on his motorcycle?" I look at her and start laughing. "Thanks peaches but I'm okay. Besides Colin is coming over for dinner."

Maya oohs tickling my sides and I start laughing. We get up and head into the living room and she says "so what do you plan to do with the spare room. I stare at the empty bedroom and shrug saying "maybe make it into a closet." Maya looks at me and we start laughing again. After Maya leaves I start to get ready when my phone rings. "Hello." "Hello beautiful." I start smiling and sit on my bed. "So I finish early at work and should be at your place in a few." "What's a few?" He doesn't say anything and I hear someone knock on the door.

I open and see Colin holding take out. "Did I say a few I meant now." We both hang up smiling and I pull him inside. "So I got Chinese hope that is okay?" He says pulling the containers out the bag. I sit on the couch and say "that sounds good." He walks over caressing my cheek and says "what's wrong?" I sigh and he comes and sits on the couch with me and I say "it's nothing it's just.. Lucas moved out and didn't even tell me." He pulls me towards him and says "I'm sorry Riley I know you loved having him here." I shrug looking at Colin and say "yeah but right now I'm okay with him being gone."

Colin's eyes widen and he says "oh yeah why is that?" I straddle him and whisper "so I can do this." I start kissing along his neck and jaw and he nods and says "I'm liking this." I giggle and start unbuttoning his shirt when the front door opens. "Well well well look who is in here playing grown up doctor?" Zay says nudging Farkle and Smackle. I growl at him and Colin whispers "next time my place." I smile and whisper "is it to late to go there now?" He chuckles shaking his head and I say "Zay I thought you would be helping doofus move into his new place with cruella?" Zay shakes his head sitting on the counter and says "no way Missy is crazy and Lucas is an idiot for moving in with her."

Colin and I get up and walk into the kitchen grabbing plates to eat. "There's enough here for everyone to share." Colin chuckles when I smack Zay's hand when he grabs one of the containers. "See the doc says it's alright." Zay tells me sticking out his tongue. I do it right back at him grabbing my plate heading for the couch. Colin says sits down and I sit next to him resting my legs on him which he uses as a table. "So Riley what are your plans for the spare room now that Lucas is gone." Smackle asks.

I stare over at the room and shrug saying "I'm not sure why?" She smiles and says "maybe you would like to rent it out say to an intelligent friend looking for more space to work with?" I smile and shake my head and jokingly say "Smackle are you trying to run away from Farkle?" Farkle looks at her and she says "no! Never but having more space would be excellent." I laugh and Zay stands up and says "hold up if anyone is moving in the spare room it should be me." I shake my head and Colin whispers "do you need a roommate to keep living here?" I giggle and mouth no.

"Zay you already have a place. A nice one at that. And Smackle I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it. I mean he just moved out today." I start to get a little sad so Colin changes the subject. "Hey did you guys know that Riley is going to be working on a movie serving her desserts." They all start congratulating me and I look over at Colin and kiss his cheek. "Well dinner wasn't what I was expecting." I tell Colin while we clean up. He chuckles sitting me on the counter and says "what were you expecting?" I shrug and he whispers "was it this?" He starts kissing along my neck and I moan and say "yeah this is more how I pictured it."

He smirks into my neck and I start unbuttoning his shirt. He stops and whispers "aren't you forgetting something?" He gestures behind me and I pout. "I forgot they all fell asleep. Let's take this in the bedroom." He widens his eyes and says "if I didn't know any better I would think you were trying to have your way with me?" I put my arms around his neck and say "can you blame me? You're going to be gone for a whole week." He smiles and kisses me and says "two." I gasps and say "two weeks?"

I pull him in my room closing the door and he sits on the bed. "I thought you said it was just a week?" I say standing in front of him. He pulls me towards him and says "technically it was only suppose to be one but the other speaker dropped out and they didn't have time to replace him so I'm taking over. Are you mad?" I sigh and push him back on the bed sitting on him and say "no I'm proud of you and a little annoyed I won't be able to do this to you for two weeks." He tilts his head confused and I smile and start kissing him.

The next morning I get up sending Maya a text and make coffee. I see Zay was up and once he sees me he starts grinning. "Well good morning Riley Matthews." He says winking at me. I look at him weirdly and grab two cups. "Oh sugar I have a cup already. Oh!" He gasps and says "did the good doctor sleep over?" My cheeks heat up and Zay starts laughing. I hit him and pour coffee for Colin and I. I take the cups back to my room and set them on my nightstand. I smile at Colin sleeping and lightly run my fingers over his arm. I see him smile and pull me on top of him.

"Morning beautiful." I giggle and say "morning doc." He chuckles and says "I assume Zay is up and knows I slept over?" I nod my head smiling at him. Colin covers his face and says "oh boy he must think I had my way with you?" I start laughing and say "actually I'm pretty sure he thinks I had my way with you." He starts grinning and says "well you did." I gasps and slap his chest. "I'm kidding. So do you have to go to work today?" I bob my head and say "Want to know the best thing about being your own boss?" He smiles and nods his head. I smile and say "I can decide if I want to go in or not."

Colin shakes his head and says " I wish I had that luxury." We sit up and I hand him his coffee. "So you work today?" He smiles shaking his head and I put my arms around his neck and say "good let's go somewhere just us." He gestures between us and I giggle nodding my head. He kisses me and says "I would love to. Got a destination in mine?" I nod and whisper "The beach. Maya said we could use her beach house." He sips his coffee and says "have it all planned out there huh Ms. Matthews?" I smile and say "of course."

"Okay lovebirds stop making out and let's go get breakfast!" Zay shouts banging on my door. "Zay leave them alone! Maybe they're in the middle of having sex." Smackle says attempting to whisper. "Smackle!" We hear Farkle shout. I cover my face shaking my head and Colin whispers "your friends are amazing." I smile and say "Zay is getting his key revoked." We get up and I whip my door open making Zay fall on the floor. "Oh hey Riley, Colin." He says smiling from the floor. Colin starts laughing again and I shake my head.

"Dude I can so eat you under the table." Zay tells Farkle once we were seated. "Zay I will have you know I've done extensive research and I can consume more than half my body weight." Colin looks at them in amusement while Smackle and I just shake our heads looking at our menus. "Farkle buddy mi amigo I can eat twice my body weight and probably half of yours." Farkle laughs and says "wanna bet?" Colin leans over and says "can either of them actually out eat the other?" Smackle and I laugh and I whisper "no. After like maybe 2 and a half pancakes they both get full and call it a draw."

Colin nods and we order and as predicted Farkle and Zay both pat their stomachs and shake hands. Colin shakes his head and says "why do you guys bet if neither of our can finish?" They share a look and say together "one day!" We all laugh and and pay and get up ready to leave. We get back to the house and Colin says "so I'm gonna go home and grab my stuff and meet back here in an hour?" I nod and say "yes sir I hear the beach calling our names." He smiles and says "okay beautiful I'll be back." He kisses my cheek and drives off.

I head inside and start getting ready. I just put on my bikini when I hear a knock on the door. I smile thinking it was Colin and go open it. "Back so soon?" I say opening it. I frown when I see it's Lucas and I see his cheeks heat up and look me up and down. I mentally curse myself for forgetting I was in a bikini. I walk away grabbing my towel and wrap it around myself. "What do you want Eugene I'm busy?" He closes the door and rubs his neck and says "I wanted to talk to you since you wouldn't let me last night."

I roll my eyes and walk back into my room and put on my shorts. "Riley are you listening to me?" He asks standing in my doorway. "No I'm not. Why should I anyway? You didn't want to talk when you were secretly moving out with Missy." He shakes his head and says "what you jealous?" I scoff and say "why would I be jealous? I have Colin." "Don't remind me." He says under his breath so low I don't think I was meant to hear it. I sigh and say "Lucas what do you want from me?" He paces in front of me and says "I want to talk." I sit on my bed and say "okay well talk."

He sighs and says "I thought it was time I move down out. I mean Missy and I been together for awhile and I think I'm ready for that next step." I gag and roll my eyes and say "Lucas I don't care that you moved in with her. I'm mad at the fact that you did it behind my back . Were you even going to tell me?" He scratches his neck and says "well you are never home you are always with your "boyfriend" Colin." I laugh and say "boy Eugene I forgot how dumb you could be sometimes. I've been home for the past few weeks ever day."

He looks at me and I continue "yeah doofus. Colin has been working longer hours because he's leaving for a conference so I've been home. So don't even use that as an excuse." He gets up and says "fine what about the fact you didn't tell me about that movie deal? We don't talk anymore like we use to." I look at him and start laughing again "Lucas nobody knew but Maya. I barely told Colin yesterday. I wanted you to be the first person I told but ironically you are never home. And I want to talk to you always your my best friend but lately you haven't been acting like one and I really miss him."

He goes to say something when Maya climbs through my window. "Hey am I interrupting something?" She says seeing Lucas and I staring at each other. I shake my head and say "no we were just talking." Lucas stares at me and says "well I better go." He walks out my room and we hear the front door close. "Wow I shouldn't say this but damn! You could cut the sexual tension with a knife." Maya says laughing. I shake my head and say "it's not like that Maya. Besides aren't you the one that told me not to pursue him like that since I'm with Colin."

Maya sits on my bed and says "I don't know maybe I'm wrong. I think huckleberry is jealous and may be in love with you riles." I shake my head laughing and say "that's ridiculous." She shrugs handing me her key and says "I don't know it could explain why he never wants to hang out when Colin is around or why he never threw that party last month." I turn and look at her and seen she had on her serious face and I look away. "Well that's what I think anyways. I could be wrong though." She says heading for the window. She turns back around and says "Riley just don't overthink it to much I could just be seeing what I want to see okay?" I give her a small smile and nod my head.

Colin texts me that he was outside and I grab my bag and towel and head to his car. I smile when I see him and kiss his cheek we get in and he holds my hand. "Hey you okay? You seem distracted." Colin asks me as we drive. I smile and say "no I think I'm coming down from my caffeine high and feeling a little sleepy." Colin chuckles and kisses my hand and says "well it might be a while before we get there you can take a nap." I smile letting go of his hand and close my eyes. I wasn't really sleeping I was replaying Maya's words over and over in my head.
