Sorry it took so long to update peeps. I had writer's block; I was hangin' out with friends and all that. I just got back thank God (Alaska). So here's chapter thirteen! Enjoy
Chapter Thirteen: 1 Percent
One Month Later
Ana is laying on the large couch inside the living room that belonged to Ben and Abi. They had bought a new house ever since they got all that money. Her brown hair in a high pony tail with pieces falling into her face. She had on a 'HIM' t-shirt and torn jeans with black converse.
1- percent, he turned down. Good God. Ana thinks to her self with a slight shaking of her head.
"I can't believe he turned it down." Riley says disbelievingly sitting in a lounge chair across from Ana.
Ana starts chuckling. Ever since Riley found out, he's Ben on Ben's ass. He is trying to making him feel bad for it, in Ana's opinion.
"There's no 'ha-ha' about this. I wanna know what the hell he is thinking. 10 percent." Riley remarks.
Ana shakes her head and closes her eyes. She starts to remember when Riley said 'I love you' to her at the hotel after Ian's arrest. It made her feel so alive when he had said it. She still hasn't said it back to him only because she is waiting for the right moment to tell him. Though, she already knows if he says it again, she is defiantly saying back to him, that's for sure.
"How much did you get?" Riley asks looking over at Ana.
"Um, one and a half." She says wincing slightly as she seeing the shocked look on Riley's face.
He frowns in a disappointed and pissed way, but not at her, at something else. Ana sighs and swings her legs over the couch, sitting upright. She gets up and walks over to Riley and sits on his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. He looks at her and pus his arms around her waist.
"And what's this for?" asks Riley, slightly smirking.
Ana thinks for a moment before answering.
"Nothing." She answers and kisses him lightly on the lips.
Riley kisses back and deepens it. Though, little do they know, Ben and Abi walk in. Abi raises her eyebrows and looks at Ben. She knows he hates it when Riley and Ana do this. Ben sighs and shakes his head before speaking.
"Must you guys do this every time we walk in?" he asks, though they ignore him.
"Okay, right now it looks as those you two are going to eat each other." He adds trying to make them stop.
No luck, and Ben frowns. Ana trying not to laugh. She and Riley both know when they make-out, it bugs the shit out of Ben…and it's funny. Abi pats Ben on the shoulder and walks over by Ana and smack her in the back of the head with a near by book. Ana breaks away from Riley and rubs the back of her head and glares at Abi.
"What the fuck was that for?" Ana asks a little irritated.
"What ever do you mean?" Abi asks innocently.
Ana glares at her, and then Riley says. "You ruined the good fun."
Ana looks at him and whispers something in his ear the Abi and Ben could hear. Riley's eyes widen and Ana stands up. Riley stands up immediately.
"Let's go." He starts walking over where Ben is when his cell rings.
He let's out an irritated sight and answers it. Abi looks at Ana with crossed arms. Ana walks a few feet away from her.
"What did you say that made him want to leave here so quickly?" she asks walking over to Ben.
They walk towards the front door. Ana answers, "That, is none of your business, But I'll says he's going to be VERY happy tomorrow morning."
Ben and Abi look at her. "You're sick." They both say.
"JP. It's just a surprise for him. We're not going to do anything…bad," Ana laughs.
"Just shut up now. Please." Abi says as all of them, including Riley walk out the front door.
Abi and Ben are hand in hand while Riley has his arm around Ana's waist, he is still talking on his phone. Ana smirks at Abi, like she knows something.
"Why are you smirking at me like that?" she asks skeptically.
"No reason." Ana answers looking away, still smirking.
"Okay, what do you know that I don't?" Abi asks again.
Ana looks at Ben and asks jokingly, "She really can't shut her mouth, can she?"
Ben laughs and shrugs. Abi hits his shoulder with her other hand that is holding a piece of paper. Ana then gets curious about the piece of paper. But, before she can ask, Riley clicks his cell phone shut.
"They want us in Cairo next week for the opening of the exhibit. They're sending a private jet." Riley says hinting something in his voice.
"That's fun." Ben says looking at him.
"Yeah, big whoop. We could have had a whole fleet of private jets." Ana comments, the same tone in her voice as Riley's.
"Ten per cent, Ben. They offered you ten per cent and you turned it down." Riley says to Ben as they come to a stop.
"Riley, we've been over this. It was too much. I couldn't accept it." Ben tries to explain.
"I still have this splinter that's been festering for three months from an old piece of wood." Riley replies, looking at his finger and then back at Ben with a rather annoyed look.
"OK, I'll tell you what. Next time we find a treasure that redefines history for all mankind; you make the call on the finder's fee." Ben teases.
"That's not funny," Riley starts, "But what do you care, you get the girl."
"That's true." Abi and Ben say at the same time and kiss.
Ana hits Riley's arms, who says, "But you can't gloat about that because I did too."
Ben just frowns at him.
"Enjoy your spoils...while I sit on one per cent." Riley says walking over to a red Ferrari and jumps in over the door on the driver's seat.
Ana walks over to a black hummer and gets in looks at him.
"One stinkin' per cent. Half of one per cent, actually. One per cent. Unbelievable. And Ana gets two percent." He looks over at Ana, who just smiles sweetly.
"I'm sorry for your suffering, Riley." Ben states, looking at the car and then at Riley.
"For the record Ben, I like the house." Riley says.
Ana puts her sunglasses on and adds, "So do I."
"You know, I chose this estate because Charles Carroll met-" Riley cuts Ben off.
"Yeah, someone that did something in history and had fun. Great. Wonderful." Riley says starting his car the same time Ana does.
"Could have had a bigger house." Ana says backing up and drives out of the drive way.
Riley pulls up next to her.
"I bet my car can beat yours in a race back to your place." Riley smiles.
"Let's find out." Ana smirks and speeds out of the drives way, Riley follows close behind her.
