Chapter 19- Love (Drug) is Complicated
Getting into the club was easy enough. Navigating around 300 other people was another story entirely. Thankfully, Farkle's connections afforded the group a private room away from the dance floor. When they finally made their way through the sea of half drunk college students and into the room, Maya flopped down onto the couch and breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
"There are so many people here!" Maya shouted over the music. Farkle nodded.
"Well, Maya," he shouted back, "It is Saturday night!" Maya nodded knowingly.
"You guys go and have fun! I am going to sit here for a moment!" Maya replied. Riley gave her a worried look and mouthed the words, 'Are you okay?' Maya nodded again and waved her away, blowing her a kiss and smiling. Maya wasn't in the mood to party. Not after this business with Shawn. She told Riley that would not let that affect her night out, but she could not help it. This was such a betrayal to her and her mother, she just could not feel happy right now. But she did not want to ruin Riley's night out, either. Besides, somebody had to be the responsible one in case Riley got too wild. And Maya knew she would.
Out on the dance floor, Riley was having a blast. She felt free and happy dancing with Lucas and Farkle. It was almost like the old days, before Farkle and Lucas moved away. It was like the DJ was spinning just for her. All of her favorite songs were playing and she danced until her feet were throbbing. As she limped her way back to the private room with Lucas and Farkle behind her, she turned around and tapped Lucas on the shoulder.
"Can you please do me a favor, Lucas?" She shouted over the music. "Can you get me and Maya something to drink? My feet are killing me." She pleaded with her eyes and smiled when he nodded. Lucas motioned for Farkle to come with him and help him carry the drinks. As they disappeared into the crowd, Riley turned around and limped back into the room. She plopped down on the sofa next to Maya, tired but happy. She grabbed Maya's hand and squeezed it. Leaning in, she spoke to Maya in her ear.
"Maya, if you want, you can head back to the hotel. I know you are tired. It's late. I understand." She looked at her phone for confirmation. She thought she was seeing things when the clock on her phone read 10:45. She had been dancing for 2 hours. No wonder her feet were throbbing. "Wow! I did not realize it was that late!"
"Riley, I don't want to leave you here alone." She looked around, unsure.
"I'm not alone. Lucas and Farkle are with me. I trust them. They would not let anything happen to me."
"Are you sure, Riley? I mean, I am kind of tired, but…" Maya trailed off.
"No buts, Maya. Go ahead and go back to the hotel. I will be back later tonight. I promise." Maya agreed to get an Uber back to the hotel and call Riley when she got there. Riley helped Maya to her feet and threw her arms around her.
"I love you, Maya. Go get some sleep." Riley handed her some money for the Uber and watched her walk through the crowd and out the door. As Maya was leaving, she saw Lucas and Farkle coming toward her with the sodas.
"Where is Maya going?" Farkle asked, looking toward the door.
"She was getting tired, so I told her you guys would take care of me." Riley replied. They nodded in acknowledgement and set the drinks on the table. As they sat on the couch, Riley lay her legs across Lucas' lap.
"So, Farkle, what's been going on with you lately?" Riley asked. Farkle shrugged, setting his glass down after taking a drink.
"Nothing much. I lead a pretty boring existence, actually. I am really focused on school right now. No distractions, you know." Riley shook her head.
"No, actually. I have no clue. I'm not a genius." She replied dryly. Farkle looked ashamed. "I'm just messing with you, Farkle." Relaxing, Farkle laughed.
"I thought you were really mad at me." Riley waved him on.
"Keep going. I want to hear more."
"Actually, I have a different idea." Farkle reached into his pocket and pulled out a very small bag with tablets that resembled Children's Tylenol. Riley's eyebrows shot up.
"Farkle?! Is that-" she whispered. "-drugs?" Farkle burst out laughing as he split two tablets in half.
"Riley, you can be such a prude sometimes." He shook his head, amused. Reluctantly, Riley accepted the half tablet that Farkle handed her. She looked at Lucas, who looked just as unsure as she did but accepted the tablet anyway.
"What is it, Farkle?" Lucas asked, referring to the pill in his palm.
"X." Farkle replied. "Love drug. A number of different names."
"But why?" Lucas questioned
"Because sometimes," Lucas replied, swallowing his half tablet, "you just have to let go and relieve that pressure that builds up inside." He lay back against the couch and closed his eyes. Riley and Lucas looked at each other and shrugged, simultaneously swallowing their pills and downing their drinks.
"How long until we can feel it?" Lucas asked. Farkle sighed.
"About 30-45 minutes on average." He replied without opening his eyes.
About 30 minutes later, Riley still was not feeling anything. Afraid she had taken it wrong, she stood up. Lucas sensed that she had moved and he opened his eyes, slowly. She smiled at him and took his hand, pulling him to a standing position.
"Is this doing anything for you, yet?" Lucas whispered in her ear. Riley shook her head.
"I don't think so. I don't think I feel any different. Do you?" she replied. Lucas shook his head and they both looked at Farkle, who had appeared to have fallen asleep.
"Let's go get a refill on these sodas." Lucas suggested, motioning toward the empty glasses on the table. Riley nodded and they made their way across the crowded dance floor. Riley stopped him before they reached the bar.
Trigger Warning- Sexual Content
"Let's have one dance first, Lucas." She said. Lucas agreed and they danced to one song before heading to the bar and then back to the room. When they reached the private room, Farkle had awoken and was rubbing his hands back on forth on the couch material. He looked at Lucas and Riley and smiled, patting the empty space next to him. Lucas carefully placed the drinks on the table and sat next to Farkle. Riley cuddled next to Lucas on the couch. Farkle stood up and closed a sliding partition door to the private room and locked it. Riley and Lucas glanced nervously at each other. Farkle made his way back to the couch and slowly lied back. Gradually, as Riley looked around the small room, all the colors seemed more vibrant and the music sounded deeper. She lay back on the couch and closed her eyes. Suddenly she felt Lucas' lips on her neck, and she lifted her head back, as he moved down from her neck to her chest. He slowly unbuttoned her dress and she relaxed, laying down across the cushions of the couch. He reached around and unsnapped her lacy pink bra, revealing Riley's small breasts. As he cupped his mouth around her hard, pink nipple, Riley felt someone else's lips on her own. Farkle. Her eyes shot open and he looked alarmed, waiting for her to protest. She gave him the go ahead and he continued, kissing her neck. As Lucas made his way down her body, covering her in kisses, Farkle cupped her breast and used his hands to play with her nipple, while still kissing her neck. She moaned softly as Lucas removed her matching panties and found her clitoris with his tongue. As he gently licked and sucked, Farkle gently placed his mouth over her breast and sucked. She briefly opened her eyes and saw Lucas pulling down his pants to reveal his hardened penis. As he leaned over, he asked Riley quietly if she wanted to, and she quickly nodded yes. Lucas entered her and while he thrust in and out, Farkle's hand made its way down and found her clitoris. With his finger, he rubbed her clitoris slowly. Riley's hand searched until she found Farkle's button and zipper to his jeans. He assisted her in removing his boxers with one hand and still rubbing her clitoris. She found Farkle's rock hard penis and began to stroke slowly, stopping every so often to arch her back and moan in pleasure. Lucas began to thrust faster and Riley's moans got louder. Farkle was almost at climax with Riley stroking him. Suddenly, he jumped back and came on the glass table. While he cleaned himself up, he watched Lucas and Riley continue without him. He leaned over and gently separated Lucas' lips with his tongue and kissed him, hard. While kissing Farkle, Lucas could not contain it any more, and he exploded inside Riley with a loud moan. Seeing that Riley was not quite there yet, Farkle jumped in and resumed fingering Riley until she melted into a puddle of ecstasy and cum.
While the three of them got redressed, they did not make eye contact. Farkle grabbed his phone, cleaned up his "mess" with a paper towel, and headed for the door to unlock it. Before leaving, he turned to Riley and Lucas.
"Nobody breathes a word of this outside this room, okay?" Riley and Lucas nodded in unison. "Good. See you guys." He waved and shut the door behind him. Still seeing the most vibrant colors, Riley looked at Lucas.
"Who would believe us anyway, right?"
"Right." Lucas laughed. He slipped his tongue gently in between Riley's teeth and kissed her again. "Let's get you to the hotel." They left the club hand in hand, ordering an Uber to take her back to the hotel.
"I'll call you tomorrow, Lucas." Riley said, getting out of the car.
"I'll be waiting." He replied, kissing her again. She waved goodbye as the Uber took him home, and she floated up the stairs to the room. Maya was already sleeping when she opened the door. The table clock read 12:30 am. She would tell Maya everything tomorrow. Well, almost everything anyway.
