Ch 4: "Afterwards"

The girls' dorm

"So Musa, Riven asked you to dance huh? Brandon told me that Riven really likes you," said Stella with the-you-know-I'm-right smile.

"Oh he did, did he? Well I happen to know that Riven thinks of me just as a friend," Musa replied.

"Oh he does then why did he ask you to dance and why is he standing under our balcony?" said Bloom as she walked inside from off the balcony.

"Yeah right, your probably just saying that to get me all excited," said Musa in a somewhat furry.

"No, I'm serious look for yourself," said Bloom.

"Okay, I will," flamed Musa as she got up walked over to the balcony to look and turned around and walked back in.

"So?" asked Stella.

"She's right," sighed Musa.

"Well what are you waiting for a written invitation go out there and see him," giggled Stella.

"Okay," said Musa walking out the door and down to a waiting Riven.

"Hi," Musa said shyly.

"Hi…what do you want?" said Riven in a sort of rude way.

"I just figured I come down because you looked lonely," she replied.

"Well I like being alone."

"I figured that," she said as she turned around and slowly started to walk away with her head bowed, but before she made it to the door she felt his hand touch hers and he pulled her around til they were face to face and she noticed how close they were and tried to step back but couldn't because his large muscular arms were already around her small slender waist as he lifted her off the ground til they were face to face and Riven leaned in and whispered in her ear, "I love you!"

And in return she leaned over and whispered, "I love you, too!" And just as they were about to kiss her friends started screaming from the balcony "Woo Hoo!" and "Finally!" and things like that. The couple looked up at the girls and they ran back in and Musa leaned over and told Riven, "They're harmless."

Riven looked at her and smirked and said, "But I can't even kiss my GIRLFRIEND without peeping eyes.

She looked at him in amazement as he gently sat her back down on the ground, "What?" he said calmly.

"Nothing, but did I hear you correctly, did you just call me your girlfriend?" she asked cocking her eyebrow.

"Yes!" he said as he gently kissed her on the lips, "But I better get back before the guys start to worry."

"Okay," she said softly. Just then he turned around to get on his leva-bike when they heard leva-bikes coming their way and to their surprise it was the guys.
