Roomhates 11

Hello all thank you again for all the reviews and comments on the last chapter. I truly appreciate all your feedback on this story. Since you guys don't mind turning it up to M. Starts this chapter and heats up the next. I hope you enjoy this.

Everything was planned out perfectly. Zay unfittingly got this whole thing in motion. Finally, his mouth helped with something. Lucas thought to himself.

After the game Lucas had called Yogi and asked him for a favor. Yogi happily obliged and made sure Trent and Riley's reservation was cancelled. He put a table under my name and made it a booth so that it could sit four people instead of two.

Tonight, Lucas would make sure that this date didn't go off well. That Trent wouldn't continue to pursue Riley. He would move on to the next girl.

His blood was bumping since this all would go down in a few minutes. He needed to pick up Sarah soon. He told her 6 so she'd be ready at 630 so they could get to the restaurant by 7. He knew her. He couldn't jeopardize being late for this to work.

Lucas hears Riley's door creek open. He wasn't prepared. His chest swells just seeing her in the floral spaghetti strapped dress that clung to every curve to her body. She looks breath taking to him. She blushes and pushes back a few stray hairs back behind her ear.

"You are going out tonight too?" Riley tried to innocently ask. Her eyes linger a little long though on him. He was wearing a green shirt that matched his eye color. It hugged against his body and muscles nicely defining his body. He wore a pair of black slacks that also fit him perfectly if you asked her. She blushes again since she is caught looking.

Lucas smirks and leans against the counter continuing to drink from his glass of water. What Riley would give to be that glass right now is insane, "Yeah one of my study partners wanted to go out as a thank you. She said, my notes saved her on this last exam."

She tries to fight the jealousy that is brewing inside of her. She didn't have a right they weren't together. He could date who he wanted.

"Where too?" She replied looking away from him.

"I don't know she didn't say." Lucas replied. She would find out soon enough.

"I guess neither of us will be waiting up for the other." Riley joked.

Lucas smirks, "You'd wait up for me."

"No." She said defiantly.

"I think you implied you would." Lucas countered while rounding the kitchen counter now.

"I didn't imply anything." Riley said defiantly.

"We still need to talk you know." Lucas told her.

The very spot they were in he left her whole body on edge hot and ready. Her mind is seared with the memories his words. She pushes her knees together to stop the throbbing ache her body had right now. Calm down, girl. She told her body.

"I don't know what you are talking about." Riley stammered out. Which just makes Lucas smile and shake his head.

"I have to go and pick up my date." Lucas said against her ear.

"You just go and do that." She replied back bitterly.

When the door to the apartment shuts she thought of something better to say. He was already long gone. She hated when she did that. She tries to think of something else but Lucas and this date. He did this on purpose. Talk about his date before leaving to go on hers so her mind would be preoccupied with that. She wasn't going to allow the fact he was going on a date ruin hers.

Lucas pulled up to Sarah's apartment. Of course, she wasn't ready. She wasn't even dressed. She was going to be the death of him.

"Sarah." Lucas said holding his head trying not to yell, but he felt it coming.

"I'm almost ready Luke." She called while gathering her things and running into her bedroom. Her girlfriend Sue just laughs and shakes her head.

"I told her how important this is." Lucas said while taking a seat next to Sue on the couch.

"She knows, she has practiced her best acting on me today." Sue said with a laugh.

Sarah was different then all the other students in his veterinary classes. Maybe that's why he liked her and became friends with her. She loved the arts and theaters as much as she loved animals. It seemed like after every lab she was trying to get him to see some school production of some play.

This is another reason he picked Sarah to do this. She could pretend that there was something more for him tonight.

"This outfit is it." Sarah proclaimed coming out and while trying to put on her heels at the same time. She wore a black bodycon dress.

"Definitely." Lucas proclaimed from the couch.

"Don't go making eyes for her." Sue teased him with a nudge.

"Oh his eyes have been on that pretty brunette since I saw him lay eyes on her last semester. Probably all his life." Sarah teased with a smile.

"She's right." Lucas said while standing up. "Now come on, we are going to be late."

"Where are your manners cowboy?" Sarah taunted.

"They left the door when I saw you were late."

"Time is relevant." She said while shrugging her shoulders. That is the artist in her.

"Your patients won't say that to you." he told her.

"They can't talk." She countered with a smile.

"Their owners can." He reminded her and her face fell a little.

"I'm working on this. It's a work in progress." Sarah said while grabbing her purse. She points it towards me before she continues to speak, "I know you gave me an earlier time to make me rush."

"Guilty as charged." Lucas said while holding up his hands. "Come on already."

"By babe. I should be back fast. He's impatient this date should end quick." She said while rushing over to kiss Sue quickly. Then she sticks her tongue out at Lucas in order to loosen him up a little. He smiles at her and holds the door open for her. He waves goodbye to Sue before closing the door.

Lucas and Sarah get into the car it is 6:30 right on the dot for his plan. With traffic he should make it to the restaurant in about 20 minutes.

"I'm ordering the surf and turf." Sarah declared while turning my radio on.

"You're paying then." Lucas countered.

"When did you become such a grouchy cheap guy." She teased.

"When you were late." Lucas said with a laugh.

"I've seen the way she looks at you lately when we go to the bakery before class." Sarah tells him with a smile. Lucas couldn't help the smile that was creeping on his face from her confirming it. She laughs and shakes her head at the love bird. "Well we are here now."

Lucas gives his key to the valet driver and he comes over to Sarah's side of the car. They walk into Sebastian's and it's packed just like he thought. He comes in just in time to see Trent up front finding out his reservation isn't in the system.

Perfect. He thought to himself.

"We can go somewhere else." Riley offered.

"No this is the place you wanted to go darling. I had it set up." Trent stated the last part angrily. Darling word seemed to hang in the air. He hated that he was calling her a nickname.

Sarah links her arms with my catching him off guard while she walks up to confirm their reservation.

"Reservation for Sarah Hayes and Lucas Friar." She stated calmly and coolly.

"Luke." Trent said surprisingly.

"Hey didn't see you too." Lucas said. Riley looks at him with crossed arms and a stern face. He had to see them. She couldn't hide the jealousy she felt when she saw Lucas and Sarah walk in arm and arm. She had seen him come in with this particular girl a few times at the bakery. He said they were only friends. She believed it since she saw her with him so much.

This restaurant isn't a thank you for great notes type of restaurant. She tries to push down the thoughts of jealousy she is having at the moment.

"Sarah this is Trent and you know Riley. Sarah surprised me with this place tonight. Her friend works here so she got us in." Lucas told them both.

"Luke said he has never been. This is a must see place in Greenwich Village." Sarah said with a bright smile.

"Well there is some mix up and our reservation was lost." Trent said bitterly.

"Oh no." Sarah said with a sigh. "Didn't Javier get me a booth." She asked the hostess with a smile.

"He did." The hostess said.

"You can share with us." Sarah offered.

She was nailing this to a tee. Lucas thought.

"I don't know." Riley said softly. "We wouldn't want to intrude."

"You wouldn't be intruding. The tables big enough for the both of us. I know you have always wanted to go here."

"Okay sure." Riley said softly.

The hostess leads them to a booth in the back of the restaurant. It was big and spacious. Lucas would have to tell Yogi thank you because it was definitely the best spot.

Sarah sits down and slides in the booth and pats the seat next to her and winks at Lucas. Riley fights the urge not to roll her eyes. Lucas smiles at her and sits down next to her. Riley slides into the booth quickly. Followed by Trent. His arm brushes up against hers. She turns and gives him a half smile.

Lucas wanted to tell him to move over now but he stayed next to her incredibly close.

"How did you two meet?" Trent asked Sarah and Lucas.

"We are lab partners." Lucas said quickly

"Half of the female body was trying to be his lab partner that day." Sarah said with a laugh. "Then he just sits down next to me like I'm the chosen one. Faces fell everywhere."

The last statement might have been too much by the way Riley looked at Sarah. Sarah took a gamble but she can tell it's jealousy seeped in her features not disgust or anger.

"I wouldn't say that." Lucas laughs it off

"Modesty." Sarah said pointing over to him.

"Hey how about I buy some wine for the table." Trent offered. "What's your favorite?" He asked Riley with a nudge.

"Pinot Noir." Lucas told him. Riley was surprised he noticed but it was her favorite.

"Yup." She tells Trent with a smile.

"Well coming right up then." Trent said with a smile. Trent flags for the waiter and orders a fine for the table. He puts his arms around Riley and she snuggles in closer. Lucas tries not to frown but he could feel his facial features were tense.

"You should have asked me what my favorite wine was Casanova." Sarah whispered in my ear leaning in close.

"It's the same thing." I whispered back to her still looking at Riley and Trent.

"Chivalry." She whispered back. He puts his arms around her and pulls her in close to him.

"How am I doing now?" Lucas asked in a whisper.

He turns and looks to see Riley watching the whole exchange with a questioning eye.

"You sure you guys are just lab partners?" Trent questioned with a wink. Lucas can see Riley shift in her seat uncomfortably but she sits up for the answer. She definitely wants to know.

"Yes, just lab partners." Sarah confirms.

Lucas feels his phone vibrate. He looks down to see a text from Trent. When did he have the time. He was so smooth.

"Have you two been studying each others anatomy?" the text read. Lucas shakes his head and shoves the phone back in his pocket. He creates a little space between him and Sarah. Riley is still watching him not saying anything. Once she looks down at her menu, he looks at Trent who smugly smiles back waiting for an answer.

Lucas slyly flips him the bird, which makes Trent throw his head back in laughter. Both girls look at Trent confessed. Lucas just holds up his menu looking to confirm his order.

The waiter comes back to their table ready to order. He starts with Lucas, and he orders the lobster mac and cheese. That is what Riley wanted to order. She didn't want to order the same thing and it seem like something morning. She kept looking through the menu for something else but she heard rave reviews on this and wanted this. She reluctantly orders the same thing. No big deal is what she told herself but she could feel those emerald green eyes on her.

Lucas kept the conversation going between the four of them. He talked a lot of Texas and old times with Trent. He talked about his times in New York with Riley, Maya, Zay, Farkle, and Smackle.

He did everything he could so they didn't have one on one conversation. Tried to keep this as friendly as possible. Riley saw what he was doing.

She swore if Sarah patted his arm one more time or touch his hand. She'd scream. She bites her bottom lip stopping herself from saying anything.

"You feeling ok Riles?" Lucas asked her.

"I'm fine." She said quickly.

You haven't eaten much and have been pretty quiet." Lucas offered leaning forward like he was concerned.

"You have been keeping the conversation going." She mumbles under her breath. "You know what you're right. I'm not feeling the best Lucas. Trent can you take me home?" He asked him coyly.

Lucas' body tenses with the suggestion.

"Why doesn't Luke take you. Trent said he has an early flight. His hotel is right next to my apartment. You guys live together. It would be easier." Sarah said quickly. Sarah was the perfect person for this job, Lucas thought to himself. She thought on her feet quickly.

"Yeah makes sense." Lucas said.

"I do have to get up early. Dylan has already told me he'd have my ass if I'm late tomorrow." Trent said with a laugh. "I had a good time Riley."

"Me too."

Riley slides out of the booth and let Trent out so she could give Trent a quick hug. Lucas gets up and lets's Sarah out and hugs her also.

"Thank you." He said against her ear.

"You are in serious debt to me now Mr. Friar." Sarah whispered in his ear.

"I know." He whispers back.

"It was fun, Luke." Sarah said louder. "See you in the labs cowboy." She squeeze his hand before walking out with Trent. Lucas turns to look at Riley who looks back at him with fiery eyes. Needless to say she wasn't happy. Before he could speak she was already heading out of the restaurant.

He knew she would be a little upset about the date. She would calm down though. Lucas gets to the valet driver and gives him his ticket. Riley turns her body so that she is looking out at the street and not to him. He smirks while he waits next to her silently.

The valet comes back with his car and hands him the ticket. Lucas goes forward to open Riley's eyes. Her chocolaty brown eyes were intense when she looked back at him.

She sat in the car angrily. He had set this whole thing up. She was positive of it. How else did everything fit together so perfectly? Why did he sabotage this date? Why was he acting all territorial after all these years?

He comes to the driver side of the car to get in. I turn from his gaze and stare out of the window. I wasn't ready to talk to him right now. He chuckles then starts to pull off. The chuckle sends her over the edge. She turns and hits him on the arm.

"Ow, Riley what the hell?" He yelled trying to keep his eyes on the road.

"You did that on purpose."

"Did what-"

She fumes when he starts to pretend like he doesn't know what he did, "Don't even pretend like you don't know what you did. You ruined my date, why?"

"Trent is not the guy for you." Lucas grumbles keeping his eyes on the road.

"Who is?" Riley asked throwing her arms up. He wanted to scream he was. The stop at the red light and he turns to her.

"Let's not do this in the car." He tried to keep his temper in check.

"Let's." Riley taunted him while turning to face him and moving closer to him. He could feel her breath on his lips taunting him. He wanted to lean forward and capture her lips with his. Prove to her who was the right person for her. Stop the running and face what was building between them.

A honk from behind snaps him back. He turns his attention back to the road and starts to drive.

"I'm serious Lucas Friar." Riley continued. "Who would you deem right." Riley said with air quotes.

"None of the guys you've chosen." Lucas said.

"Like you are one to talk. At least I can commit." Riley spit back angrily.

"I can commit." Lucas spit back just as angrily.

"Your track record hasn't shown it." He grips the steering wheel tighter with that remark. His track record showed him trying to forget her. He realized he couldn't no matter how hard he tried.

"That was when I was an undergrad in college. I haven't done anything but really be in my studies since I've been in New York."

"Seems like more into your lab partner." Riley spit back.

Lucas raises an eyebrow before pulling into the parking structure for their apartment, "Jealous."

"I certainly am not."

"The tone makes it seem that way." Lucas pulls into his spot and puts the car in park. He turns to face Riley now. He could see who fiery her eyes were in this dim parking garage. "I'm not into Sarah. She has a girlfriend that she is happily in love with. She just likes to goat me." Lucas told her. Her face drops with the revelation. "I told you yesterday we would talk about things so let's talk."

Riley clinches her thighs together again when he talks about the talk.

"What is there to talk about?" Riley asked. She goes to turn her head from him. She feels Lucas fingers graze her shoulder then they run their way up her neck to her chin. She is shuttering from his touch. He turns her chin gently so they are looking at each other. Her chest was heaving from the anticipation.

"You know what there is to talk about." Lucas said with a throaty voice. "Your body is saying what you won't say. I don't know why, you won't say it. You don't think of me as a brother."

"I do." Riley's voice trembles when she spits out that lie.

"Oh, I know your lying your body tells me how you feel." Lucas told her leaning forward getting in her personal space more. Her body shakes from desire. "Why are you continuing to lie about how you feel? It's not to protect Maya since she is with Josh."

It's to protect her heart, and their friendship. What if this is just a physical desire? He says he can commit but never has. If they do this they could ruin everything between them. His touch makes her want to cave. Just to see if this could be real.

"Riley, I would never hurt you. I hope you know that." She did. She knew he would never hurt her initially. She learned at a young age that you could still hurt someone deeply even if you didn't mean too. "You don't like me as a brother. I don't like you as a sister. I want so much more. What do you want?"

She shut her brain off for the moment. Stop thinking about what could go wrong.

For the night, she wanted to feel.

Not worry about the consequences. Just live in the moment.

She puts her hands on his shoulders and pushes him back in his seat. She moves from her side of the car where she is now straddling him in his seat. Lucas looks up into her eyes surprised by her move.

"Let's not talk tonight." Riley said. She leans to the side of his seat so she can push it back. It falls back sending her on top of him and they both laugh. Now he has a good glimpse down her dress to her chest. Sending blood rushing to both of his heads.

"What do you want to do?" Lucas asked her. He knew they needed to talk, but her straddling him like this was clouding his mind with desire. HIs nerves and body was on edge. She grinds her bottom on his throbbing erection and it makes him groan.

He wasn't going to sleep with Riley Matthews for the first time in his car. He wasn't going to do that. He had to tell himself that over and over again.

Lucas feels her hands move up his chest to around his head. Her fingers play with the hairs on the nape of his neck. She was driving him over the edge.

"Tell me Riley." He all put commanded. His voice laced with desire. She grinds herself against him one more time. Shit, he was going to sleep with her for the first time in this car, if she kept this up. He takes his hands and stills her hips.

"I want you, Lucas." She finally confessed.

His lips come crashing down on hers hard with so much bent up desire and passion over the years. This is all he ever wanted to hear from her that she wanted him too.

"Come on." She said before opening the car down. She pushes it open and takes his hand and leads him up to their apartment. They had gotten there in no time.

Once the door closes his lips come crashing down on hers against with that same intensity as before. She jumps up and wraps her legs around his waist. He starts to walk and lead them to her bedroom room door. He pushes them up against it.

"Lucas." Riley stammered against my lips between kisses. She was trying to get her argument on why they should stop. Why they shouldn't give in. She couldn't think of anything though.

"Not tonight Riles." He said roughly against her skin. She felt like she was going to explode feeling the rough vibrations of his voice against her neck. Now she felt the smoothness of his lips against her neck driving her to the brink of insanity.

A soft moan escaped her lips from the friction. Her body was pressed against his begging for more. She ground her hips against his hard on making him moan himself now.

"One night." She offered enticingly to him.

One night. He wanted more. He knew she wanted more. Riley Matthews wasn't one night type of girl why was she offering that. He leaned in to kiss her lips again but she moved waiting for his answer. His teeth graze her neck again making her wither against the door.

"I want more." Lucas said huskily against her ear. Making her moan again.

He said that now but did he really mean it. She had seen how he's went through girls these past few years. None lasted more than a few nights. If they did it one night she might be able to get him out of her system. Get this desire that has been building up since she lied about her feelings years ago. If they did it she could see this was just a fantasy it wasn't real.

His teeth grazed her neck again and he squeezed her both eliciting another moan from her. All thought was leaving her body. That overwhelming desire that she was talking about was becoming an inferno now. Those emerald green eyes were staring at her intensely. He was waiting for her answer. She couldn't speak, so her lips did the talking as they crashed against his finally willing to give into temptation.

She uses her hand to twist the knob to her bedroom door. They stumble into the room together now. One night, one night would have to be enough. She told herself while leaning forward and capturing her lips with his again.
