Riley pov
"Dad I don't see why we can't just invite them to dinner here? Why must we get dressed up like this?" i was wearing a dress and so was mom while the guys were in nice suits. "Because Riley we are bringing our two families together and it would be nice if we looked well nice." My dad tells me while fixing his tie. I sigh "dad we aren't in The Godfather why are you talking like that? can I at least have my phone?"
"Why do you need it now Riley?" I didn't want to tell him it was to message MadDogg so I say "to call Maya and get the homework I missed since you didn't let me go to school today." He sighs and says "it's on my dresser." I kiss him and run to go get it. I plug it in and see I have four voicemails. So I play them.
"Riley Matthews who knew you had some fight in you gotta admit that was hot! If I wasn't with Maya I so would try to get at you! Kidding Tyson don't tell Maya she would kill me. All joking aside Maya told me what happened and if you want I will gladly kick Lucas ass for you. But looks like Josh took care of that hahahaha!
I start laughing at Zay. "He is to much!" I say aloud laughing. I play the next one.
"Riles did you sneak your phone away yet? What did your mom say when you talked to her? Did she ground you call me when you can honey."
"Hey Riley it's me luc..."
I skip his message. "Who the hell gave him my number?" I thought to myself. I was about to listen to the last one when my dad says time to go. I hurry and send a quick message to MadDogg.
PrincessDancingSunshine-hey MadDogg did ya miss me?! :) I feel like we haven't talked in ages. You will not believe what I did yesterday! Off to dinner with The Godfather.
I listened to my last voicemail in the car and it was Maya again telling me what happened today at school. Apparently Lucas didn't show up like me but Blair did trying to get sympathy for her black eye. Claiming Lucas and I were hooking up behind her back. Maya was quick to shut that down with her quote unquote bucket of water she had and Blair had a meltdown in the cafeteria because of it. Got to admit was proud of her for that.
Lucas pov
"Mama I don't think I want to go tonight my head hurts." I tell her trying to get some sympathy. She shakes her head and says "this is important to your sister now get dressed." I groan and head to my room. "You can stay Lucas.." she says standing in my doorway. I started getting happy "if you tell me the real reason your face looks like that?" She says gesturing to my split lip and black eye.
I freeze and say "I told you it happened playing football with the guys. You know boys mama always aggressive." She shakes her head and says "get dressed we leave in 10. I grab my phone and see a message from PDS. I admittedly start smiling.
MadDogg-it does feel like forever! What happened you had me worried? And remember take the cannoli leave the gun
I put on my jacket and we walk out heading to the restaurant.
Riley pov
We get to the restaurant first so I ask Auggie "So have you met Anne's brother yet?" He paces a little and says "once. He seemed cool." I smile at him seeing he was nervous. "Hey aug you nervous man?" Josh says laughing at him. I glare at him and say "oh uncle Josh it's like you're begging me to kick you in the shins again?"
He backs up and Auggie laughs. "Thanks smiley." I wink at him and stick my tongue out at josh. After ten minutes my stomach started growling "are they here yet I'm hungry?'l "patience Riley here they come now." I stand up fixing my dress when my Anne's mom introduces them."
"Well you all know Lily Anne but this is my son Lucas." I gasps and look up and see him staring at me with wide eyes. I glare at him and cross my arms. "Oh you two know each other?" His mom says to us. I smile at her and say "yes Mrs. Friar I know his friend Zay." She smiles at me and then at Lucas when she sees he is still looking at me.
"Well let's eat!" My dad shouts. Lucas comes up to me but I ignore him and sit down. He chooses to sit across from me and his mom can't help smiling at us. "This is going to be a long night." I thought.
Lucas pov
I can't believe Lily Anne friend is Riley's little brother. This must be some cruel twist of faith. I try to make eye contact with her but she managed to never look my way. Her uncle unfortunately did and would laugh every time I winced trying to eat because of my lip. I see Riley on her phone and figure she was texting Maya. She puts her phone down and I get a message from PDS.
PrincessDancingSunshine-lol! let's just say I got rid of some demons and man I'm so craving a cannoli right now!
PrincessDancingSunshine-oh and guess what?! My little brother's new lady her older brother is the flying monkey! :O oh what cruel faith is this! the gods have it in for me
MadDogg-oh someone is dramatic tonight! :)
PrincessDancingSunshine-not dramatic just a touch theatrical :)
MadDogg-demons? Huh? I thought I was the wizard?
I hear Riley giggling and looking at her phone. I seen there was a mirror behind her and was trying to look when I got another message.
PrincessDancingSunshine-oh but I've always been a wizard remember?
MadDogg-oh how could I forget. :) so these demons would they have to do with your flying monkey and the wicked witch?
PrincessDancingSunshine-as a matter of fact it does. We all kinda got into a fight yesterday that's why I didn't have my phone.
My eyes widen and I try to look at Riley's phone. "No not possible?!" I thought to myself. "Could it be?" I murmur to myself. I take a drink of water and send her a message.
MadDogg-a fight huh? Who beat up who?
PrincessDancingSunshine-well he somehow made his witch of a girlfriend think we hooked up when he knows for a fact he called me a slut so my uncle overheard and punch him and I slapped and punched his girlfriend.
When I seen her message I spit out all my water on the waitress who was taking our order. I hear Riley laugh as I apologized to her. "Sorry." I tell her and she just smiles "it's okay sir I'm used to being spit on granted it's by children." I turn red and look down.
"Hey Riley bet you can't guess what I watched today?" Lily tells her. Riley smiles at her and taps her cheek. "Luke did you know she is a wizard of all things Disney? She always knows what song I'm singing." Lily says cheerfully. I look at Riley and shake my head "oh shit!" I say.
"Lucas Friar!" My mom shouts at me. I look at her and she says "language in front of the kids." Riley and her uncle snicker. "Okay Anne I got it!" Riley says smiling. "You were watching Pocahontas and you're singing in your head... just around the river bend." Lily grins and says "how do you do it? That's amazing!"
Riley shrugs her shoulders and smiles "it's a secret." And winks at her. I slap my head "I'm an idiot." I murmur to myself. "Psst" I look around and see Riley leaning forward. I smile and she gestures for me to lean forward too. "Yeah?" I whisper. She smiles and then whispers "you're an idiot."
My eyes widen and she starts laughing again. I bite my lip and then wince from the pain. I see her texting and look at my messages.
PrincessDancingSunshine-I will admit it is funny watching him in pain
I frown and message her back.
MadDogg-that's cold PDS
PrincessDancingSunshine-not really he deserves more for calling me a slut!
"oh shit!" I say out loud. "Lucas!" My mom scolds me again. I excuse myself and go to the bathroom. I close the door and pace back and forth. "Am I seriously that stupid ? How did I not remember what really happened that night!" I kick the trash and hear someone clear their throat. I stop and turn red.
A older man comes out the stall and washes his hands looking at me. "Son I think you should make sure you are alone next time." He dries his hands and pats me on the shoulder. I slap my forehead and rest it on the bathroom door. I bang my head on the door saying "stupid stupid." Over and over I just lift my head when someone walks in and smacks me in the head with the door.
"Oh my god are you alright sir?" I hold my head and feel the bump forming. "Yeah I'm good." I go back to the table and sit down holding my head. That same older man passes by as I'm putting ice on my head says "thinking to hard in the bathroom there son?" Riley spits her soda all over me from laughing so hard.
To make matters worse my mom has to help me eat cause she she insists I leave the ice on my head and I can't eat with my left hand. I see Riley trying not to laugh while my mom blows on my pasta and feeds me. When we get home I throw myself on my bed. I can't believe I never put it together.
The shows the same movie snack the fact that her love life trouble was the same as mine! I get up and grab my computer and look over all our messages since I moved here. "I really am a idiot! I have this awesome girl and I treat her like this and she calls me a flying monkey?!" I decide to message her.
MadDogg-so how was the family dinner with the flying monkey?
"Can't believe I'm calling myself a flying monkey? I can't believe I've been calling myself that this whole time!" I yell at myself. "What is wrong with me?" I thought.
PrincessDancingSunshine-it was hilarious! I wish I could relive this day so I can enjoy that dinner over and over again! :)
"Do I tell her it's me or keep quiet?" I was at war with myself until I see her next message.
PrincessDancingSunshine-it was the best. But if I'm being honest MadDogg I did kinda feel bad for him.
MadDogg-why is that?
PrincessDancingSunshine-well it was a family dinner and he looked embarrassed the whole night. Granted I laughed but still
MadDogg-so does this mean you're going to forgive him?
I was hoping it would be yes and then I could tell her who I was.
PrincessDancingSunshine-no to much has happened for me to forgive him. He hasn't even really apologized for what he did. If anything he let his wicked witch of a girlfriend think we slept together at that party! I mean who does that?!
MadDogg-yeah I guess that's true
PrincessDancingSunshine-you okay?
MadDogg-yeah why do you ask?
PrincessDancingSunshine-well you aren't your usual sarcastic self tonight. Girlfriend troubles? Do you need another session from Dr. sunshine? :)
MadDogg-lol no goofy girl just tired
PrincessDancingSunshine-okay I'll let you rest that big head of yours. Adios aloha au revoir
MadDogg-sayonara
I close my computer and decide that I know what I'm going to do. "I'll just have MadDogg convince her to forgive me and break up with Blair. I mean she doesn't know it's me so this will work out for me." I hope.
