Song for the chapter:
La vie en rose (cover) by Harrison Reade
Lucas pov
"So how's paradise going? Still in rocking waters" Zay ask as we sit around the tv
I scoff as I run my fingers through my hair "I'm pretty sure she hates me"
"It's been a week though? You guys seem good" he says
"I mean yea she's nice but she's not as close as we used to be. She's acting weird" I say as I turn to look at him
"She's a girl, dude maybe it's that time of the month" Zay says shrugging his shoulder
"I don't think so man. We went swimming yesterday"
"Well then you're a dead man" he says shaking his head
"Wow thanks for the support man" I say rolling my eyes
"I'm just saying she's probably still mad about that whole Maya thing" he says
"That reminds me I still need to kick Charlie's ass for that" I say
"Okay first no you don't. Second you need to fix this" zay says
"I already apologized" I say turning to face him
"You my friend are stupid" he says shaking his head
"Okay hurtful! What am I supposed to do" I say
"I don't know but do something. I know girls and just saying sorry isn't enough" he says
"How could you know girls? If you have never even had a girlfriend" I say laughing when I feel a pillow hit my face
"Shut up! You can find a way to get Riley back by yourself" he says glaring at me
"No! zay dude I'm sorry! Please help" I say trying not to laugh
"Fine, well a girl likes a very big act of love. So do something like that. You know flowers, romantic dinner, some slow music " he say smiling
"Dude your like a chick" I say laughing
He punch me as he stand to leave
"zay come back! I'm just kidding zay! Wait I need your help!" i yell as i run after him
"One more friar and I swear I will get Riley to date Charlie" he says glaring at me
"Okay okay ill stop" I say smiling
"now time to plan" I say as I sit back down
time to get you back
Riley's pov
"Are you okay"
"Yea why? I say as I look at her
"You haven't been very bubbly lately" Maya says as she sits by me
"That's just because I have a mission to do" I say laughing
"yea I know. it's just you haven't hangout with friar" she says
"Um.. Yea I have. We went swimming yesterday" i say looking away
"Yea but every time he tried to hug you or kiss you, you would push him. What's up with that" she says eyeing me
I sigh and I close my eyes,
I'm trying not to fall deeper
"It's nothing" I say looking down
"Riley, we have to make him think you love him. That's the plan" she says coming towards me
"Yea I know Maya! I know okay" I say standing up
"Then what's the problem! You were perfectly fine before!" she yells
"How do you expect me to look him in the yes, after what he did? How do you expect me not to hate him? "I say raising my voice
How do you expect me not to hurt knowing I feel for him . Because caring for him and wanting him is hurting more because I know I shouldn't but I can't help it..
"Riley! If you hate him that much. Then it makes it even better!" he says grabbing my hands and smiling
"You get to have the satisfaction of destroying him" she says calmly
I gulp as I push down my feelings for him. As a rush of memories of him and those dam green eyes haunt me.
"Your right.. I'll try more" I smile as i hug her
Try... try not to care. Use him..
Lucas Pov
"zay are you sure this is going to work" I whisper
"For the tenth billion time! Yes! Now let me sleep!" he yells
"What if she doesn't come? What if she says no? zay!" I yell as I hear him snoring
"Stop being a chick and man up! Go! I'm going to sleep now"
"Wait Zay-'' I get cut off as I hear the line cut
"Thanks a lot zay" I mumble as I get out of my car
Its fine friar. You have this, it's going to work and she's going to love it.. Hopefully
I dial her number as I wait.
"Hello"
"RILEY! HI!" I yell as I smile
"It's 5 in the morning! What do you want" she says quietly
"I want you to head down stairs" I say as I look up at her apartment
"Are you crazy?' she say a bit more awake
I smile as I bite my lip "I'm crazy for you"
"You full of it friar" she says laughing
"Come on! I'll provide food and it's free" I say as I shuffle my feet
"Keep talking"
I smile " I want to show you something"
It get quiet as I wait for her to answer
Say yes! Say yes!
"Fine.. Give me a minute"
I release the breath I was holding as I jump a bit
"Yea that's fine" I say trying to keep cool
Riley's pov
I walk out of the building as I see him standing my his car
Pretend Riley. You can pretend..
I watch him turn around as he smiles
Dam it! Don't smile don't! AND you smiled great job.
"Hi" he says smiling
"What's so important" I say as I try not to get lost in his eyes
"I wanted to show you something" he says coming closer
"Okay, what is it?" I say moving closer taking in his scent
"It's a surprise." He says as he extends his hand to me
Don't fall.. Don't fall
I take his hand as I feel shocks run through me. He helps me in as he jogs to the driver's side
I smile as I watch him
oh boy..
He begin to dive as I try to control my emotions. I feel him grab my hand as he moves his thumb against my knuckles
"Wipe that smirk off your face" I giggle as I hold his hand looking out of the window
He laughs as he I feel him lift my hand and place a kiss on it. I sigh as I feel his heat run through my body making my heart beat faster. I smile as I lean back on the seat and close my eyes.
"Riley.. Riley"
I wake up as to see Lucas on my side of the car
"Were here. Put this on" he says as he takes out a blindfold
"Is this the part where you kill me? That's why you called" I say rolling my eyes
"First you're too pretty to kill and second I have a true surprise" he says smiling
"Promise not to kill me" I say as i get out of the car
He pulls me closer to him. His forehead resting against mine. He bushes his thumb across my cheek as I lean into his touch
"I would never dare to" he whispers sending shivers through me
I gulp as I see him moves closer to me, I quickly move back as I shake my head
"let's go" I smiles as I try to place the blindfold on me
"Here let me" he says as he places the blindfold over my eyes
"You'll love it" he whispers in my ear as I shiver
We begin to walk as I feel his hands around my waist. He places a kiss on my cheek, making me giggle
"Okay. What do you think" he says as I feel the blindfold being taken off
I gasp as I see the colors around me. The pink, purple blue sky's in the horizon. The view of the sun making its way high into the sky. I look around as the shadows bring out all the beauty of the buildings in the distances. The way the colors reflect on the water making it look magical. I lean closer to the railing as I stare into the sea of colors
I soon feel his arms wrap around my shoulders as he kisses my head
"Hold me close and hold me magic spell you cast this is la vie en rose"he sings lightly as I feel him bring me closer to him
"When you kiss me heaven sighs. Though I close my eyes I see la vie en rose." he sings as he places a kiss on my cheek as i feel him move his hands to wrap them around my waist
"When you press me to your heart .I'm in a world apart .A world where roses bloom" he says as he rest he chin on my shoulder as he slowly sways us
I sigh as I close my eyes leaning on him. His heat warming me and filling me with peace.
"And when you speak, angels sing from above Everyday words seem to turn into love songs"
I turn my head slightly as I stare into his greens eyes. He smiles as I feel my knees go weak as the sun makes them sparkly slightly. My breath hitches as he takes my face in his hands
I feel my eyes water as my heart pounds faster, I place my hands over his as he rest his head against mine
"Give your heart and soul to me. And life will always be la vie en rose." he sings against my lips as he quickly captures my lips with his
I wrap my arms around his neck as I push out every hateful thought I have of him. I feel him lift my slightly making me giggle
You're a goner Matthews.
Lucas pov
I laugh as I spinner her around.
"Put me done! Lucas" she says giggling
"Tell me you don't hate me" I say as I slowly place her down
She frowns as she looks down " I don't hate you"
"I'm sorry for what I did to her. I never meant hurt her. I just didn't know how to handle her and I wanted to keep my image and I chose the wrong way but i promise yo-"
"Lucas, stop" she says cutting me off
"No listen, that isn't me anymore. Riley I like you. I really really like you. I'm not going to hurt you. What I did to Maya was fuck up, I get it and I feel bad. But I promise you, I will not do that to you"
"How? Huh?"
"Because since I met you I'm not the same. Do you really think I would wake up at 3 just to get everything ready and have a mini freak out outside your apartment if I didn't care? I spent all day yesterday trying to come up with ideas. I even asked zay !" I say as I move closer to her
She laughs softly as she looks at me "one chance"
I grin as I pull her to me and kiss her. "Thank you thank you"
"Wait! I have one more thing" she says as her face gets serious
I gulp as I release her
"Where's my food? I came here for the food not you" she laughs
"I wrap my arm around her shoulder as I laugh
''let's go get your food"
I smile as I look at her
"So does this mean I'm forgiven" I smirk as I hold her hand helping her out of the car
She smiles softly has she looks down "yea"
I pull her in for a hug as I kiss her head "can I call you later"
"Yes, you can" she smiles as she kisses my cheek and walks into her apartment
I wave as I lean on my car. I pull out my phone
"Is this the part, were you gush about the date" zay says laughing
I chuckle "she loved it but she still doesn't trust me"
"What are you going to do now" zay says
"I have one more thing" I say as I look at her building. As I make my way to my car
"What's that" zay asks
"Do you still have Maya's number?"
