Chapter 11
RILEY POV
It was all chance if course. And now i had to have a chat with Little Missy under my bed.
"Maya, you can come out now."
I heard a creak from behind and i didnt have to look to now she was sheepishly making her way to my side of the bed.
But all traces of her sheepishness were wiped away as he standard bossy side came out.
"Come on, in bed, lets go."
I giggled as i didnt even bother taking off my clothes from my 'date' with Charlie.
I sighed in contentment. They said you should be careful not to jinx things but i'm gonna risk things and just say that life is perfect for me.
Maya was one of those rare and special people in the world that you could be completely silent with and and she didnt have to say a word for me to know something was up and she would tell me in her own time.
Today may not have been the best but its one of those moments ill remember forever.
It was one of the last things i remember thinking bedore falling into a deep slumber, thinking of Charlie, Maya and ... SuprisinglyLucas.

Lucas POV
The aound of my footsteps echoing were the only sounds i could hear other than my own pounding heart. What did i just do? Did i just talk to Riley about perfume? I stuffed my pale hands in my pockets that were almost trembling from the cold. If Riley was here i would've just put my arm around her shoulder. Her face radiating a certain warmth that made me want to melt.
The silence was interrupted by a small buzz and i checked my phone to see a text from Maya. She had slipped me her number after had left after the tennis 'date'.
Yo, Huckleberry, wanna be my 'date' to Riley's Aunt's wedding?
And, i was left speechless with more questions than answers.
I didnt like Maya in that way. In which way did she ask me: as a friend, or as a potential boyfriend? Would Riley come? Was she bringing someone? The last thought was the decision maker.
Yes we were barely friends but i was growing to behave like a brother. If she was bringing someone, he would be there to check him out. But thats all he would do. He was Riley's brother. That was it.

Riley POV
I inwardly sighed in contentment as as the suns rays fell on my cheeks. There are no words to describe how it feels to just lie in bed, not worrying about getting up, brushing your hair, wearing your clothes, tripping and getting back up. I shuffled around expecting Maya next to me but the space next to me was warm yet abandoned. I inwardly fought off the temptation to lie under the fluffy and warm covers and managed to sit up.
And my brain must've still been half asleep because it almost commanded my jaws to drop to the floor at the sight of maya humming and dancing around!
Ok that wasnt that bad, it was how Maya looked! A flawless, moody smokey eye graced her features and her dainty lips had a flamingo pink sparkliness. She looked breathtakingles glorious and i wondered what the special occasion was. Maya must secretly be a mind-reader as she had already answered, "Sweetie you didnt forget today was your aunts birthday tonight, did you?" Her face taking on a mock confused expression as she furrowed her eyebrows.
"No," i said pointedly, because i actually hadnt,"its just that its all the way at night!"
"I know right!
"And right now its morning.." I said slowly trying to gouge whether she was getting my point or not
"Exactly! We need to start getting you ready for Lucas!"
I chuckled nervously as i tried to hide the effect the butterflies that had come when Lucas' name was mentioned, had on me.
I closed my eyes as i let Maya work her magic on me, Lucas wasnt going to know what hit him.
