So, is anyone else feeling extremely disappointed by the lack of Rucas on the show? They could do so much with their storyline but we get nothing from it. I am dedicating this chapter to pure Rucas fluff because I think we deserve some adorable Rucas in our lives! It will stick to the timeline but next chapter will pick up with all of the other storylines again. I just thought we could all enjoy some Rucas!

Chapter 35
"Where are we going again?" Riley asked. Lucas smiled at his girlfriend and then just shrugged his shoulders. "Are you really not going to tell me where we are going?"
"You would think after all these years together that you would be used to me surprising you by now," Lucas laughed.
"Well silly you," Riley playfully stuck her tongue out at her boyfriend. He just wrapped an arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer.
"I thought we could use a day out together. Forget all the senior year craziness and enjoy each other," Lucas said.
"Fine you win," Riley surrendered and wrapped her arm around his waist and let him guide her down the street.
"Was there ever a doubt I would lose?" Lucas teased.
"You're getting cocky now," Riley nudged his side and laughed.
"More like confident," Lucas smirked.
"Well let's see what you have planned and then we will talk about your new found confidence," Riley teased. She knew that whatever he had planned, she was going to love because her boyfriend knew her so well.
"Here we are," Lucas stopped suddenly and Riley halted in her steps.
"We are at my apartment building," Riley turned to face her boyfriend and raised an eyebrow.
"Yes we are," Lucas nodded as he guided her inside.
"Are you taking me home for the night?" Riley asked, her confusion building.
"Nope," Lucas shook his head as they headed towards the elevator.
"I'm so confused," Riley sighed.
"Perfect," Lucas nodded. Riley glared at her boyfriend but laughed when she saw the cute look he was giving her. They reached the roof level and Riley followed him onto the roof.
"The roof?" Riley asked but stopped short when she saw the roof. There was a small table set up and a candle in the middle. There were plates on both sides and cans of soda in front of their dishes. She turned to face her boyfriend with a look of love in her eyes. "Did you do all of this?"
"I wanted to do something special for you," Lucas shrugged his shoulders like it was no big deal.
"You do something special for me every day by just loving me," Riley promised.
"Well then this is just an I love you dinner," Lucas kissed her temple and she closed her eyes at the touch. She really loved her boyfriend.

"So I think sandwiches was the perfect choice," Riley said as she placed a hand on her now full stomach.
"I got them from the deli," Lucas said.
"They were delicious," Riley insisted. "Sometimes a good sandwich can go a long way, especially with the best company."
"I have a feeling we are going to be living off sandwiches in college," Lucas laughed.
"And coffee," Riley agreed.
"Coffee and sandwiches. Sounds like the meal of a champion," Lucas smirked.
"So what's in that little container?" Riley asked, gesturing to the box next to her boyfriend.
"I think you already know," Lucas laughed.
"Is it chocolate cake?" Riley asked. She would expect nothing less from her boyfriend.
"With sprinkles," Lucas said.
"Wow, you went all out tonight!" Riley exclaimed, eyes wide when she saw the cake.
"Anything for the girl I love," Lucas smiled as he grabbed her hand. He lifted her hand and kissed the top of it.
"What did I do to get so lucky?" Riley asked, smiling at her boyfriend in amazement.
"You were born klutzy," Lucas teased. They both thought back to that day on the subway and let the significance of that moment overcome the both of them. They were lucky to have met that day.
"Well then I am forever grateful for that," Riley laughed.
"You and me both," Lucas kissed her hand again. He handed her a fork and the two of them started to share the cake.

"Looking up at the sky does not have the same effect in New York as it does in Texas," Riley laughed. The two were laying on a blanket that Lucas had spread out and staring at some of the stars that were in the sky but it was nothing compared to Texas.
"There are some stars to make the sky look pretty," Lucas said.
"But it is nothing compared to what Texas has to offer," Riley said.
"Do you ever seriously think about living there?" Lucas asked, turning to face his girlfriend. Riley turned to face him and propped her head on her hand.
"This feels like a conversation we had once before in a completely different state," Riley laughed.
"That was like three years ago. We are in a totally different place in our relationship now," Lucas pointed out.
"Good point," Riley agreed.
"So, what do you think?" Lucas asked.
"I think yes," Riley nodded. "I have imagined our life there so many times."
"Really?" Lucas asked, eyes wide.
"I love New York but I love the idea of starting fresh and building our own life together in Texas. We could be and do anything we want out there. We could make whatever decision for our future that we want," Riley explained.
"We could start fresh and build our lives there," Lucas agreed.
"It could be something I see myself loving and wanting," Riley admitted.
"Riding horses every day and staring at the stars every night?" Lucas asked, a smile on his face. Riley could see this happening and the thought of their future together made her excited. Every day she was a little more confident in their future together. She knew that he was the one that she wanted to build her life with.
"As long as you promise to help me when I fall off the horse," Riley teased.
"I will always help you when you fall," Lucas promised.
"All I know is that I am willing to go wherever you go. Whatever we decide to do as a couple, as long as we are together, I am okay with it. I just want to be with you," Riley said. Lucas ran a finger over her promise ring and leaned forward to kiss her.
"It's you and me until the end," Lucas promised and then gestured her closer. "Come here."
"Cuddle time?" Riley asked, moving closer to her boyfriend. She snuggled close to his side and rested her head on his chest.
"Always," Lucas laughed as he held her close.
"I love you," Riley turned her head to face her boyfriend. He leaned down to kiss her and then she rested her head on his chest.
"I love you too," Lucas pulled her closer and let silence overcome them. Together was where they belonged.

"Somehow we always end up at the bay window," Riley laughed. The two were sitting at the bay window and sipping on hot chocolate.
"It was getting kind of chilly up there," Lucas shivered and took a sip of the hot chocolate.
"Do you remember our two year anniversary?" Riley asked and the two shared a laugh.
"You mean when I spilled hot chocolate all over you and you slammed your knee into the metal pole on the subway?" Lucas asked.
"I swear I thought that bruise was never going to go away," Riley laughed. "You were so sweet to me that night though."
"I ruined our night," Riley sighed with a sad look on her face. Lucas adjusted her knee onto his lap and then slowly placed the ice pack on her knee. She winced and rested her head against the bay window.
"No you didn't," Lucas promised.
"I doubt you wanted to end up sitting at my bay window, icing my knee. Not the ideal two year anniversary," Riley groaned.
"I am the one who spilled hot chocolate all over your sweater," Lucas pointed out.
"I don't think any of us expected the subway to stop that fast," Riley said.
"Is your knee feeling any better?" Lucas asked, placing a gentle hand on the side of her knee. Riley felt like her leg was on fire at his touch and it still amazed her the affect he had on her.
"A little," Riley shrugged. "I'm so sorry."
"For what?" Lucas asked, scrunching his eyebrows together.
"For ruining our anniversary. I messed it all up with my knee tonight," Riley sighed. Lucas reached over and grabbed her hand.
"Look at me," Lucas insisted and Riley connected eyes with her boyfriend. "There is no way you could ruin this night. No matter what we end up doing, as long as we are together then I'm happy. All I want in the world is to be with you and I am more than okay just sitting here. You are sitting here with me and there is nothing in the world I want more."
"You are really good at that whole comforting thing," Riley whispered. She leaned forward and Lucas met her halfway for a sweet kiss.
"Happy anniversary Riley," Lucas whispered against her lips.
"Happy anniversary Lucas," Riley closed the gap and kissed her boyfriend again.
"We sure have gone through a lot," Lucas laughed.
"And somehow we always come out better in the end," Riley agreed.
"It's us, what do you expect?" Lucas smiled at his girlfriend.
"I expect that we can get through anything together," Riley insisted.
"Teamwork," Lucas smirked.
"The best kind of team in the world," Riley smiled as she moved closer and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Thank you for tonight," Riley leaned her back against the front door. Lucas moved closer and wrapped his arms around her waist. She in return, wrapped her arms around his shoulders.
"Anything for my princess," Lucas insisted.
"I wish it didn't have to end," Riley sighed.
"We will have many more nights like this together for the rest of our lives," Lucas promised.
"I am going to hold you to that Mr. Friar," Riley playfully narrowed her eyes at her boyfriend. Lucas leaned in and kissed his girlfriend.
"See you tomorrow?" Lucas asked.
"You bet," Riley nodded.
"I love you so much princess," Lucas whispered.
"I love you too Lucas Friar," Riley pulled him down for one more kiss.
"Sweet dreams princess," Lucas kissed her forehead and then pulled away to head home. He waved once more before disappearing from her sight. Riley twirled her promise ring around her finger and placed a hand on her chest. She was so in love with Lucas Friar. She never wanted this feeling to go away.
