Ross' POV

Normally I would never kiss on the first date like I just did it was like some unwritten rule. Something I've followed most of my life. Well this wasn't even technically a date it was just a walk so I guess I didn't break any rules. Plus Ryleigh was different I had known her (and liked her) for forever so it was like we had been dating forever. Rules were made to be broken anyways so what was the big problem. I grabbed her hand and we walked back to my house. I was smiling at her and she was smiling back we weren't talking but I could tell she was happy. I know I was. She was beautiful from her blonde hair to the her big green eyes. Perfect. As we approached my front yard I quickly let go of Ryleigh's hand "not yet" I whispered as we walked in. I didn't really have the guts to tell my family (especially Riker) yet they were the reason I hadn't dated many girls they were way to protective of me. Which in a way was good but in another was a huge problem. I would have to tell them sooner or later but I decided on later for now. I knew Ryleigh was anxious to tell them and that she would probably tell Rydel but Rydel wasn't who I was worried about she would understand and probably not even put up a fight. She was the least protective in my family but she was still pretty bad like she wouldn't say anything for my sake but in her head she would be mentally screaming at me. I was still worried she would probably ask Riker if he knew about it and then the fight would start. I was about to tell Ryleigh not to tell Rydel but she opened the door and my smiley brother Rocky was there to greet us.

"Hey" he said "what's going on"

"I just went to go get my stuff" Ryleigh said. Rocky smirked and looked down to our hands which were nearly touching

"whatever you say" he said letting us pass then he said to me "Ryleigh eh?" He nudged me. I rolled my eyes

"no" lied "of course not!"

"Good because someone else likes her" I didn't know who the someone else was but I didn't really want to find out. I didn't want to start anything.

Ryleigh's POV

"Hey Dell" I said walking into her bedroom and setting my bag on the edge of her bed

"Hey Ryl's" she said

"so… I'm guessing tonight's sleepover will be same as always. Not that that's bad or anything." I added seeing the look on her face "What would you like to do first?" I asked

"Well there's tons of things we could do I have a whole night of fun planned. You know like always" I smiled "But first I think that we should just talk it looks like something is on your mind." I didn't answer "Ryleigh?" She asked

"I guess there is…" I said "Can I tell you a secret?" I asked

"Anything" she said "you can trust me and I promise I won't tell my brothers or anyone else for that matter"

"Ok…" I started it wasn't the trust I really cared about it was the reaction. I was thinking how I would feel if I had a best friend who was going to tell me something like this. Granted I didn't have any brothers " I kind of sort of like Ross" I said I didn't want to tell her the rest just yet I wasn't ready and I didn't know if Ross wanted to tell her himself.

"Awe... You mean my brother Ross right?" she said I nodded how many other Ross' did she know? "well I think you guys would be perfect for each other" way better reaction then I was expecting considering I just told her I liked her little brother

"really?" I asked "your ok with me liking your brother? And your ok that I'm like two years older than him?"

"Why not" she stated "it's not like I can stop it. And it's not like he's never going to date anyone. Plus age is overrated. And it's better you than some random creepy girl like Laura. No offence to her because she is…was one of my best friends but she wasn't right for Ross" I hugged her. Rydel was always so understanding. I just hoped the others would take the news just as well as she had. "Now why don't we add some sparkle to that hair of yours" she said revealing some silver hair tinsel. I smiled she always knew exactly what I wanted.

Ross' POV

"You excited for tour?" Rocky asked me as I sat down

"ya I'm pretty pumped!" I said "R5 Live On Tour" I moved my hands in an outward motion like I was revealing something "has a nice ring to it" Rocky laughed "

and I'm so glad Ryleigh's mom said she could come to it's going to e great with all seven of us there to enjoy it maybe she can even open at one of our shows"

"what?!" I exclaimed this was news to me I had no idea Ryleigh was coming on tour with us

"she didn't tell you?" Rocky asked "well after a lot of pleading her mom finally said yes!" I looked at my feet mad that she didn't tell me. I thought we were closer than that "But don't be too upset that she didn't tell you she was just probably waiting for the right moment I mean you are her best friend". He was right there was no need to be upset and suddenly I was smiling again

"well thanks for telling me Rocky!" I said

"just don't tell Ryleigh I told you!" He said

"my lips are sealed" I said happily skipping into the kitchen to get a snack I couldn't stop smiling Ryleigh was just so perfect. And she was mine. All mine. No one else's just mine! Okay maybe I was a little possessive but I wasn't going to show it not when she was around at least

"What's all the smiling about?" Riker asked walking into the kitchen

"Oh nothing" I answered "I just really,really love this apple" I said grabbing one from the fridge and taking a huge bite despite the fact I didn't really like apples and smiling even more. It didn't matter what I liked all I could think about was Ryleigh

"Alright" he said confused bringing me back from my thoughts "I'll leave you and the apple to do your thing...whatever that thing is…" he laughed and walked out of the kitchen leaving just me and the fruit. I couldn't help it I was a pretty bad liar for an actor but I guess he believed it… I kept on thinking of a way that I could reveal me and Ryleigh but I wasn't quite prepared for their reactions yet I was 94% sure that Riker had a crush on her for a while now. I didn't want to ruin what me and Riker have as brothers but I didn't want to ruin what me and Ryleigh have as a couple or as friends either. Only one of us could have her and I liked her too I wasn't going to give that up just to spare the feelings of my older and way less sensitive brother. And I didn't want my parents to be upset if they found out wewere secretly dating so I decided I would tell them tonight or tomorrow whichever would work out better for me. I was a little scared I didn't want myself, or anyone else, to get hurt because of my selfish actions.
