Hey guys. I'm sorry for not updating in a while. I was on vacation but I am back now and ready to write again. I hope you enjoy this part!
Riley woke up feeling warmer than usual. It took her a second to realise where she was but a smile made its way to her face when Lucas's grip on her tightened. She reveled in the feel of his bare chest against her bare back. She turned in his arms to face him as she began to kiss his neck and chest up and down. He stirred a little before opening his eyes to see his brown eyed beauty in front of him.
"Either this is a really good dream or I have an angel on top of me right now." Lucas said in his sexy morning voice Riley loved.
"Oh Mr Friar, you are oh so smooth for 7am." Riley said and they both laughed.
"Come here." Lucas said as she crawled back up to his arms.
"Last night was incredible." She whispered.
"I don't want to go back out to the real world. A world where I can't kiss you or touch you." Lucas said.
"Me either but we both have work we have to do." Riley told him.
"I know, I just love you being here, in my arms." Lucas said as Riley leaned up and kissed him.
"Well…we still have a little time left and I don't know about you but I worked up quite a sweat last night, so I need a shower." Riley said wiggling her eyebrows suggestively. Lucas took a second to catch on.
"Oh…I definitely need a shower." He said.
"So what are we waiting for?" Riley said as she got out of bed and walked to the bathroom with Lucas running after her.
"Okay lets get straight to the point. We need to get Riley and Lucas back together." Maya said to Smackle, Farkle and Zay.
"Look, as much as I want Rucas back together…" Zay was interrupted by Maya.
"Rucas?" Maya questioned.
"Rucas, its their ship name. Anyways, as I was saying as much as I want to see them together what if they don't want to get back together? What if they believe they're better off as friends?" Zay said.
"I mean they were adamant that they are just friends." Smackle pointed out.
"I know Riley and Zay you know Lucas, ever since she fell on his lap they've been destined to end up together. As much as I tease Huckleberry, he deserves his happily ever after and so does Riley." Maya said leaving the group quiet.
"Maya, I'm beginning to think that this isn't just about their happily ever after." Farkle said.
Maya looked at her hands in her lap, with the feeling of guilt on her shoulders.
"Can't get anything past you can I Farkle." Maya joked to lighten the mood.
"Maya?" Farkle said.
"It's just…I can't help but wonder if it's my fault that Riley didn't get her fairytale." Maya said quietly.
"What?! Maya that's ridiculous." Zay said and the rest of the group agreed.
"Is it? I mean if I hadn't caused that stupid triangle maybe Lucas and Riley would have stayed together during college. I made Riley feel insecure about her relationship with Lucas, she believed they couldn't do long distance and that's my fault." Maya exclaimed.
"Maya no! The triangle wasn't just your fault we all played a part, including Lucas and Riley. And it wasn't that Riley didn't believe in her relationship, she didn't want Lucas to feel guilty for being away from her. She put Pappy Joe's health and Lucas's family first. But that's just because of who Riley is, not because of you." Zay told Maya trying to comfort her.
"I just want them to be happy and I know in my heart that they are happiest with each other. Look, you guys know I never used to believe in anything, but the moment I saw Riley in Lucas's lap I believed in them. Even back then. So the question is are you guys willing to help me?" Maya asked.
"We're in." Farkle said on behalf of the rest.
Riley and Lucas's phone both dinged at the same time with a message from their group chat.
THE SUPER SIX
Maya: We're going out tonight, you don't get a choice.
Farkle: I'm in
Smackle: Same. I could use a night out.
Zay: I'm totally down for tonight.
Riley: What time?
Maya: 8?
Riley: Sure I'm in but I'm not gonna be drinking.
Maya: Come on Riles let loose.
Riley: I'll have one drink. Its best to make sure someone is sober so no one gets arrested.
Maya: Fine. Huckleberry?
Lucas: I'll be there but I also don't wanna drink tonight. Haven't been feeling too good.
Maya: Great! See you all tonight.
"Well it looks like we'll be seeing each other tonight." Riley said to her boyfriend.
"Yeah. I mean it will be hard to keep my hands off you tonight but our friends will be so drunk they won't remember if we accidentally get caught." Lucas said mischievously while wrapping his arms around Riley and kissing her.
"Its getting harder to hide now we're in the same state." Riley said.
"We will tell them eventually. Just not yet." Lucas said.
"When Lucas? I don't mean to sound angry or upset, it's just..I love you Lucas, I love you so much. I hate watching other girls check you out and me not being to show them your mine and I wanna shout from the rooftops that I love Lucas Friar and Lucas Friar loves me. Because all I have ever wanted is for Lucas Friar to love me." Riley said passionately.
"Wow. Riles I don't know what to say. Of course I want to express my love for you and keep away the Charlie Gardners of the world. But we kept this a secret to make sure that we got back together for the right reasons. I have just moved back to New York and I thought you wanted to wait for me to settle back in before we told everyone." Lucas replied.
"I know but you being back has made me so happy. I thought keeping it a secret until you were settled was the responsible thing to do but…I think I was thinking too much with my head and not my heart. I wanna listen to my heart Lucas. We've been together for months and I don't wanna keep it in anymore." Riley told him.
Lucas was staring in to her eyes not saying a word.
"Lucas can you say something?" Riley asked.
"I love you Riley but I'm not sure telling them right now is the best thing. You know with the wedding and everything." Lucas said as Riley gave a disappointed look.
"Yeah you're right." She said quietly.
"But just because we're not telling them right this second it doesn't mean we can't tell them in the near future. Like after Farkle's wedding near future?" Lucas said and Riley gave him a shocked look.
"Are you serious?" Riley said hopefully.
"I don't wanna keep it in anymore either." Lucas said smiling before kissing Riley.
He picked her up and spun her around as she shrieked in excitement.
"After Smackle and Farkle's wedding. Oh my god. I can't wait until I can hold your hand in public and kiss you whenever I want." Riley said.
"I know. But there is one part I'm not looking forward to." Lucas said with a smirk.
"What's that?" Riley asked curiously.
"We have to tell your Dad about us." Lucas said laughing.
"Oh good luck to you sir for you will feel his wrath for corrupting his little girl." Riley said laughing with him.
"Excuse me if anyone was corrupted it was me. Or do you not remember your 18th birthday?" Lucas said.
"What are you implying?" Riley said sarcastically.
"I'm not implying anything. I'm stating fact. You were the one who jumped on me and started ripping my clothes off." Lucas said recalling their first time.
"Yeah well I was excited. I had been ready to make love to you for a while. It must have been all that pent up desire." Riley said with a cheeky smile.
"Still one of the best nights of my life." Lucas said
"Well I certainly can't wait to create an eternity of incredible days and nights with you." Riley said kissing Lucas and envisioning their beautiful future together
