Hello everyone. Many people have been asking for Rucas chapters. Well, here is the first one with Riley and Lucas. I hope you enjoy.
Chapter 5
Riley got off the bus and headed over to the nearest tree scanning the parking lot for bus 19, Lucas's bus. It wasn't here yet, so Riley just shrugged and pulled out her phone. She was about to call Lucas when Maya walked past her.
"Maya!" Quickly, Riley slipped her phone in her pocket and grabbed Maya's backpack handle. She pulled it, pulling Maya back a few steps, too.
Maya turned to face Riley and smiled slightly. "Hi. What's up?" she said, tying to sound normal like nothing was out of the ordinary. But, in truth, everything was far from ordinary. Last night, Lucas had sent her a text saying he was sorry for the way he had acted, and that he wouldn't bring it up again. But, Maya didn't really want Lucas to leave her alone.
"What's up? Really?" Riley said sarcastically. "Lets see. You ran out last night after talking to Lucas. And you didn't answer my texts to see if you were okay." She counted the two reasons off on her fingers, adding enphasis to each word.
"Riley..."
"What happened last night?" Riley needed to know what had been discussed. We're Maya and Lucas a thing now? Had they done anything? Why had Maya just ran out? So many things were unsure to Riley, and she needed answers.
"We decided it was best that we weren't together. Anyway, Lucas loves you and wants to be with you. Now there's nothing holding you back. Well, except him moving. But other than that." The truth had to come out sooner or later, and apparently, it was sooner.
Riley had to purse her lips to keep from beaming a smile. She was beyond happy by the declaration. Especially that Lucas only had feelings for her. "So can I have him?" She bit down on her lip, unsure if it was the right thing to ask.
Maya nodded. "Of course you can, Riley. He's all yours."
"Thank you, thank you, a thousand times thank you." Riley hugged her friend tightly. Then, she noticed bus 19 pulling into the lot. "I'm going to go see Lucas. Ill see you in class." Without another word, she rushed off.
Many kids got off before Lucas, but Riley waited patiently. Finally, the tall cowboy stepped off the bus and looked Riley up and down. "Hi Riley," he said walking over to her. "Look, I have something to tell you."
"I know," Riley said in the surest tone she could manage. She was still a bit nervous. Lucas was hers, but last time they were together, they could barely talk to one another. What if it happened again? No, she thought. She wouldn't let it.
"You do?"
"Yes," Riley said. Without letting Lucas speak again, she got up on her tippy-toes, and pressed her lips against Lucas's.
Dropping his bag to the ground, he then wrapped his arms around Riley, holding her tight and pulling her closer. This was perfect. It felt right. Like nothing, not even moving away, could keep them apart.
