Chapter Six: Never known

Riley emerged out of the elevator with about 5 movies in a bag she was carrying. She had gotten a few varieties of movies for Will so that he could get an idea of what they were like. There was a comedy one, romance, a musical, and a couple horror movies just for the fun of it. She pulled out her keys and let herself in.

Will was sitting just where she had left him, on the couch with all those books strewn around him.

"Okay, break time!" she said as she shut the door. She walked over to the couch and Will groaned slightly.

"Aw, just when things were getting interesting!"

She laughed, moving some of the books over so she could sit down. "Well, I have quite a variety of videos that you can watch. I think we should start out with the musical, it will give you an idea of what life was like back in the early 1900's in Austria."

"Cool," replied Will as she popped the tape in. He moved closer to Riley, not really knowing why, but she just seemed like an awesome person to him.

Riley, feeling Will move closer to her, felt a bit awkward, but something began to come over her, something that she didn't know. She put her head on his shoulder as 'The Sound of Music' started to play. Riley had seen this movie many times before, plus, it had been a long day, what with Will showing up out of the blue, and Robbie was probably totally p.o.ed at her now for just running out of his apartment without thoroughly explaining things. She looked at the clock.

You're kidding me, she thought. 10:13 PM and she was tired?!

Just as the first bits of singing came on Riley felt her eyes close and fell into a deep sleep.

She awoke a couple hours later, and judging by the softness she was on her bed. She sighed contentedly, sitting up and stretching.

Suddenly, a hand covered her mouth and another grabbed her around the waist, pulling her off the bed. She tried to scream and punch out whatever was holding her, but she stopped when she saw who had pulled her off.

Will's face was about a foot away from her's, and even through the pitch-blackness, she could see his eyes looking at her with deep concern.

"Ssh," he whispered. "There are pirates in your living room—" he was broke off by a crash and yelling. "They came through the same way I did."

"But you can fight them off, right?" Riley asked, worrying for everything outside her room.

Will was silent for a moment, but then he shook his head.

"I had to leave my sword and hatchet out there," he said. "They came quickly and I barely got you safely in here without them seeing."

Riley's eyes widened, and so did Will's.

WHY do I ALWAYS have to be such a gentleman?! He thought.

"We have to get them!" she said, starting to move toward the door, but Will grabbed her wrist.

"No! They'll kill you if you go out there…"

Riley was about to start telling him off when Will's head whipped around. A second later Riley heard them too.

Footsteps coming closer to the room.

Will turned, looking around frantically for a place for them to hide. His eyes fell on the closet. Swiftly, he grabbed Riley's hand and pulled her in with him. He had barely shut the door of it when they heard the doorknob turn. The pirates were banging on the door, trying to get in.

Will pulled her to the back of the closet, behind her clothes, so that they were up against the back wall of it. Will reached over and pulled Riley close.

Her heart began to race. His soft breath against her face, his body against hers… She turned around to look at him.

His captivating brown eyes were looking right back at her, with the same feeling that was running through her.

Will gently tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, still not taking his eyes off her. Then, he leaned forward and kissed her lightly on the lips.

Riley kissed back, the kiss growing more passionate with each passing second.

She had never been kissed lovingly before, never known what it was like to be truly in love. Never known for sure that this was the man whose arms she would wake up in every morning for the rest of her life. Never known that this person loved her more than anything. Never known that this man would love her until the day he died. Never known…

Never known…

CRASH.

Will pulled away, looking at the door of the closet as they both heard the bedroom door explode into the room. Voices followed.

"They've gotta be in 'ere someplace…" said one.

"We've checked all the other rooms!"

"Ooh, I can't wait to get me 'ands on 'em…"

"Well, ye'll have ta wait… since we can't find 'em…"

Riley and Will both heard footsteps approaching the closet. Will wrapped his arms protectively around her, and pulled them both closer to the back wall.

The footsteps stopped, Riley knew that the pirate's hand was reaching for the doorknob…

She looked at Will. His face had hardened, glaring at the door that the pirate was about to open, looking like he would beat the living daylights out of him if he so much laid a finger on her.

She leaned back as far as she could, which was hardly possible. She closed her eyes, praying that she could find some way to get the pirate out of her house and back to 18th century Caribbean Sea where they belonged.

Suddenly, there was no more wall she was leaning on. There was nothing to support her, except Will's strong embrace on her. She fell backward, taking Will with her.

OOOOOOOHHHH!!!!! What's gonna happen?!?! REVIEW plz! (they make me write faster…)
