Riley sat quietly on the couch she had turned on the television hoping to find something that might entertain her for a couple of hours, the clock was ticking slow she had her eyes on her phone scrolling through her social media the television was still on blabbing on its own. She smiled to herself scrolling down through her Instagram clicking on some random pictures of practically everything, happily staring at pictures of cute little puppies when her eyes were diverted to someplace else, it was a picture of Mark and one of his members. A smile curled up her lips he looked really happy standing on stage with the other six boys next to him, she chuckled scrolling down to more pictures of the groups, she laughed at their silly antics, she had known Mark all her life yet now seeing all those pictures she started doubting herself if she really knew the boy. Deep in thought as she was till the bell rang snapping her out of her thoughts, she looked at the clock that reads seven in the evening her brows turned into a frown who would possibly ringing her bell at this time of the night, not unless it was Mark but that is not even mathematically possible since his flight arrives at nine in the evening. Lazily standing up from the couch dropping her phone heading for the buzzer, she stared at the screen her head tilted to the side contemplating weather to answer it or not.
"Who is it?" She finally pressed the button blinking a few times waiting for a reply "Can you just let me up before someone notices me out here." The male said a smiled formed on her face as she recognized his voice pressing the button a couple of times making sure that it was open already, running in front of the elevator she had a wide smile plastered on her face.
"Hyun oppa!" She yelled out practically jumping on the older boy as soon as the elevator door's opened "Wow, easy there, I missed you too." He said patting the younger girl's head letting go of the hug both figure's walked inside her flat.
Here he is everybody Christopher Thomas Woo or in Riley's vocabulary Sunghyun oppa, yes Kevin Woo everyone, the other side to her funny life story, see a few years back when Mark's family had moved to Los Angeles Riley's parent's had moved to Danville which is where she met Kevin funnily they lived next to each other and they went to the same school so they became really close in the process even though she was a junior. With Kevin being one of the few fellow Korean's in the states she had grew some sort of attachment to the boy, unfortunate for Riley her family had to move again it was good on one side since she was moving to LA so that mean's she'll be closer to Mark again, but it was also bad on the other side since she'll be leaving Kevin. Then and again things had always had a funny way of working out for Riley, when the time came before leaving she met up with Kevin only to find out that he was also leaving he was going back to Korea since he was going to train as an idol. With that the two parted ways but they had always kept a close communication along the years, Kevin made time for her with his busy schedule even when he was training he would always make time for her, admit it or not he had a soft spot for the younger girl. Funny enough a few years later Mark also decided to become and idol it came as a surprise to Riley at the time cause no one would have figured for Mark to be a singer, even she doubted her ears when she heard the news. Funny enough Mark and Kevin never knew about each other, whenever Kevin would be on the phone with Riley Mark would have left her house or he hasn't come over yet. Unlike Kevin, Mark cut all contact with her, it actually quite annoying for her part like they're mother's in contact with each other isn't exactly what she would call keeping in touch, but then and again she would have never expected that Mark and Kevin would end up meeting each other and becoming friends themselves, only one small little detail they still don't know their common ground, Riley.
"What are you doing here?" She asked the television was blabbing on its own as the two sat in the couch totally focused on each other's presence "I heard from your mom you're here, I phoned your house since I can't get a hold of your phone, you're mom told me you were flying here, figured you'd be staying here." Kevin explained, now that explained pretty much everything
"So how's life, how've you been kiddo?" The older male asked ruffling the younger one's hair yup if there was one thing that the two male's had in common it was messing her hair, and they are pretty good at it if she would say so herself "Great, life has been awesome." She replied trying to fix her now messy hair hearing a chuckle from the boy that sat across from her
"I heard you went solo?" She said sounding more like a question rather and an actual statement "Yes, you heard right kiddo." Kevin nodded a smile plastered on his face he was always the sweet one unlike Mark not that she's comparing no of course not she wouldn't even dare "And you brought chicken, you're the best oppa!" She squealed somehow Kevin had always been the friend who can read her mind it's as if they had telepathy or something, its kind scary sometimes, there was even that one time when she actually thought that the older male had attached a microphone on her or something.
"Slow down there kiddo you might choke" Kevin said chuckling at the younger girl's actions he actually found it amusing he had always found Riley entertaining if he would say so himself she would make a great idol but then and again if he actually mentions that ever again the girl might actually kill him "So why are you here exactly kiddo?" Kevin asked handing her a tissue pointing at her face laughing at her priceless expression she had always done that expression that made Kevin laugh she had a habit of crossing her eyes trying to see her face without a mirror crazy yet funny in Kevin's perspective at least
"Branching" Riley simply replied grabbing her phone with one hand mirroring her face as she wiped of the mess the sides of her mouth "Here?" Kevin asked quite shocked at the news he knew that Riley's café was doing great back in the states but he didn't expect that it would be doing really well to get this far not that he didn't believe in the younger girls capacity to run the business not at all just quite a shock
"Why does that sound so surprising for you?" Riley questioned glaring arms crossed at the older boy who seemed like he was questioning her business expansion abilities "No, it's not like that it's just that wow, I'm really proud of you kiddo." Kevin said ruffling the younger once hair earning a glare as he laughed it off
It's been a while since Riley and Kevin had spent some quality time together and today was actually really fun for both parties, but then an again things need to be cut short, it wasn't like Kevin was like any other ordinary friend course not he was an idol and he had a lot of work to do. As much as the older boy wanted to stay a bit longer the night was getting deeper and he need to get back to his own place to finish some work he had left earlier the day, too much for both parties dismay they said their goodbyes with Riley walking Kevin to the elevator when the door opened a few blinks, gasps and shocked faces could be seen and heard.
"Mark?" Kevin questioned looking at the younger boy who was frozen still standing inside the elevator "Kevin?" Mark said questioning the older male just as well finally moving his feet out of the elevator as the doors closed "You dyed your hair again" Riley commented totally out of topic "Mark, you know Sunghyun oppa right." Riley said trying to get back on toping as if trying to figure out a way to introduce the two knowing that the possibility of knowing each other is a nine to ten of that percentage
"Wait you know Mark?" Kevin asked questioning the girl totally forgetting about goodbyes "I should be asking that, you know Kevin?" Mark said questioning the girl as well with the two boys look at her with questioning looks their brows raised fingers pointing at each other she let out a sigh
"Sunghyun oppa meet Mark, Mark meet Sunghyun oppa, see Mark here is my friend I don't even know if that title even applies to him anymore but yeah okay" Riley said with Mark interrupting her introductions "Hey that's mean what do you mean by that" Mark wined at the introductions given to him "Anyways as I was saying" She said continuing her introductions shooting a glare at towards Mark "Sunghyun oppa here is my senior we use to hang out a lot when I moved to Danville remember that time before I moved to LA we use to be neighbor's, Mark over here is my neighbor as well we grew up together now any questions?" She said finishing off her introductions to the two male
"Yeah I have one how come you never mentions him to me?" Mark asked feeling betrayed displaying a hurt look on his face "Oh boohoo I never mentioned you to Sunghyun oppa just as well all is fare" She said fighting back at the older boy "Oh yeah here's another one how come you call Kevin oppa but not me huh, I am older than you are missy" Mark back fired yup they were doing this "That's because his Korean and you're not idiot" Riley backfired towards Mark with the older male displaying a very hurt look on his face
"Okay you two deal with that and I'll go, it was great seeing you Mark, take care of her for me, I'll go now kiddo" Kevin said as he made his escape with the elevator doors closing on them not really giving the other two time to say their goodbye as well "Kiddo?" Mark said he had a funny look on his face making Riley roll her eyes on him "Oh shut up" She said throwing the pillow she was holding to Mark hitting his face before he could even avoid it hissing at the younger girl
"First of aw that hurts okay, second of how come you call Kevin oppa you never called me gege COME BACK HERE I AM NOT DONE WITH YOU GIRL!" Mark sassed following the girl to the kitchen "Gege seriously, do you even want me to call you that like for real's?" Riley questioned offering the carton of milk to Mark drinking her own that she had already poured on a glass "Ew no" Mark said cringing at the mere thought of it grabbing a glass pouring himself a drink as well
"My point exactly" Riley said placing her glass in the sink walking out the kitchen leaving Mark who was still drinking his own milk "Hey wait for me" Mark yelled out finishing his drink on one go placing his glass in the sink running after the girl who was already half way to the stairs "Why?" Riley questioned raising a brow at the older male who was tailing her from behind turning her heel bumping into Mark who was only a step lower his head tilted to side boy did she hate that cause weather she admit it or on that was actually pretty cute
"What already smitten by my hotness baby girl?" The older one teased walking a tad too closer to the younger girl who backed up slowly till her back hit the sides of the stairs the older boy had his arms pinning her to the staircase clearing her throat a smirk plastered on her face, well one thing the older male seemed to have fail to notice two can play the game "You wish Tuan" She said playing along something the older male didn't see coming with the younger girl pinned to the staircase the only escape she has was to do the exact thing she did wrapping her arms around the older once neck quite surprisingly brave of her
"Two can play your little game Tuan" She whispered in his ears a giggle escaped her lips Mark was already frozen on spot his arms as dropped back to his sides with the younger girl releasing her grip on him as well laughing at the older boys reaction she hopped along the stairs leaving him still frozen by the staircase "Aren't you leaving, don't you have schedule tomorrow?" Riley yelled from her room snapping Mark out of his trance as he made his way up the stairs in to the girl's room finding her sitting in bed scrolling through her phone he let out a chuckle
"Change of plans I'm crashing here for that night, I'm too tired to drive back to the dorm" He said randomly going inside the girl's walk in closet not that she mind like that would be the last thing she would actually mind in the entire universe "Don't you mean you're too lazy?" She asked laughing at the older boy who seemed lost standing up from bed she took him by the hand dragging the older boy to the other side of the closet "You're clothes are over here silly I rearranged the clothes" She said chuckling at the older one's confused face
"Oh now that makes sense I could have sworn I had my cloths over there the last time I checked" He nodded grabbing a pair of house cloths yeah he had his own past in the closet the apartment was actually Riley's she had bought it for such purposes when she needs to go home to Korea for important things and Mark had his fair share of free accommodation He had actually used the place ever since Riley had bought it yes they haven't been in contact with each other ever since Mark left for Korean to train but their mother's had their shares of information exchange you might call it. Yes well technically it was really Riley's mom that offered for Mark to use the place every once in a while since Riley doesn't really stay there at all not that the girl mind of course not thus the story of how the cabinet in her room is actually divided for the two of them she can't really call it her room too cause it's Mark just as well.
"I'm going to freshen up charge my phone for me" Mark said dropping his t-shirt on the bed along with is phone "You got it" Riley nodded taking his phone siding it to the side table as it connected on its own to the charger yup magnetic cables.
Riley sat quietly on her bed, Mark bed, Mark's and her bed, their bed, oh whatever she sat their quietly scrolling down through her Instagram wall getting quite bored she looked to her side seeing Marks phone still connected to the charger. The little horns behind the little halo that sat in her head became visible a mischievous smile plastered on her lips grabbing the phone pressing the home button, as expected it had a fingerprint pass, but for every fingerprint pass there is also a backup passcode sliding the screen she typed random numbers that popped up in her head, to her lock it open on the first try, with a victorious smile on her lips she scanned the older males phone quite amused. With Mark finishing up in the bathroom he walked out heading for the room his hair still dripping wet a towel on his head he was actually trying to dry his hair with the towel but it was as well as it can get. He stood at the door of the room to find the girl smiling looking at the phone he shook his head knowing it a smile on his face as he entered the room.
"Is my phone that amusing for you?" Mark asked still trying to dry his hair with the wet towel seriously though how do you do that even "No your member's are amusing" She replied still not looking up from the phone "Seriously what is it with girls and the gallery" Mark laughed shaking his head knowing what the girl ment he knew the girl was scrolling down his pictures "What does that me—" Riled asked only to look up from Mark's phone to find the older boy shirtless and still trying to dry his hair with the wet towel
"What like what you see?" Mark teased seeing the shocked look on the younger girl face only to be shocked at the reaction he got "What if I do?" A smirk up on her face oh no she wasn't like those other girls she wasn't easily flustered by things like this it would take a lot to get her flustered and by a lot she means a lot "Well maybe we can do something about that" Mark said a smirk also made it way up his lips their faces was only a centimeter apart feeling each other's breathe if one of them dared to move even closer the gap would close
"Well maybe we can" Riley fired back doing the same thing she did in the staircase like the closure wasn't enough to get the moment anymore heated as it already is her arms wrapped around his next she smiled at him his hard pissing her from both sides as he hovered on top of her yeah well the whole arm wrapping kind of got them into a sticky situation of falling down on bed with one over the other "Hmm" Mark hummed with a smirk on his face his arms giving in and the gap closing in between them not that Riley was any help she was practically pulling him down what Mark didn't expect was when the girl smirked and the next thing he knew she was hovering on top of him
"I told you two can play you little game Yieun" She whispered in his ears getting off, of the older boy who seemed flushed by her words she let out a chuckle exiting the room hearing the older male hiss a few seconds passed by the time she entered the room he had already put his t-shirt on Mark looked her way a smile plastered on her face shaking her head "Come here" She said dropping a nice dry towel on top of the older boys head, he sat in bed letting the younger girl dry his hair by the time she was done he had his arms wrapped around her waist he head resting on her stomach, as she ruffled his hair brushing it gently with her fingers.
"Let's go to sleep" She whispered plating a soft kiss on the boy's head before unwrapping his hand on her waist they got under the covers finding their comfortable spot Mark pulled the girl closer to him her body leaning against his, his arm wrapped around her waist his other rested between the crook of her neck serving as a pillow burring his face in the crook of her neck this wasn't new to the two they had done this multiple of times it wasn't anything out of the ordinary for them to them it was just the same old routine they had like when they were kids, except they weren't kids anymore.
-oOo-
Riled woke up with a pillow next to her she found the other side of the bed empty figured Mark had left early, she sat up rubbing her eyes looking around the room reaching out for her glassed that laid on the small table right next to the bed. Freshening up before preparing for breakfast only to be surprised by the food laid out on the table she blinked for a moment even rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things. A smiled made it way up her face seeing the note stuck on top of the plastic wrap taking it by hand she shook her head.
Don't forget to eat breakfast baby girl, its edible don't worry. – Yieun
She chuckled yes Mark wasn't the best cook in the world but he makes the best pancakes in the whole wide world for her the least, opening the fridge taking the carton of milk settled it on the table taking her sit. With her mouth busy munching on the pancaked her eyes glued to her phone as she scrolled down her Instagram, she wasn't really the biggest fan of social media but she had to admit she did use her Instagram a lot. She had receive a call from Kate informing her that everything is already in place, tomorrow is the big day and she's more than excited for the grand opening. She rang up Mark to inform him yeah she had Mark's number all those time and she didn't bother calling, every times she had thought of calling the older boy she would have a second thought thinking to herself that he might be busy with work or resting so she never really rang him up till today, to the older boy's surprise. While they were at it already Mark had also mentioned about picking her up later the day to meet the member's she was more than excited to meet then she had been dreaming to meet the six other members of Got7 she was actually a huge fan herself.
Hanging up on Mark with the mention of the six other boys she ran up the stairs to her room inside her closet blinking at the selection of clothes she had hitting her head with the palm of her hand she had never been the type of girl to have that much of fashionable clothing, as a matter of fact her whole closet could even be mistaken for a boy's closet judging by the selection of her clothing. All she really had in her closet was random plain t-shirts in different colors and by different colors she means a selection of different shades of blue, black and white. Now that she thought about it looked at the other side of the closet that had Mark's cloths in them it was the exact mirror image of her own clothing only instead of blue Mark side had different shades of red, black and white shirts. She let out a sigh opening the last cabinet she had left her shoulder's deflating a frown on her face closing the cabinet without any second thought, you could guess what lies behind those doors, yup it was her few selections of dresses something she hated seeing. Giving up all together, she grabbed a plain white t-shirt and a blue checkered polo-shirt; she randomly tossed it on the bed grabbing her backpack that lied on the floor tossing it to the bed as well.
Time was ticking fast a minute ago she had received a message from Mark saying that he was already on his way to pick her up, she grabbed her cloths heading for the bathroom to freshen up. She was almost done when she received another text message from Mark saying that he was already near her place. She had her hair up in her regular ponytail, a little dab of makeup that could barely be seen, she wore the clothing of choice she had earlier with the white t-shirt underneath the checkered polo-shirt, her regular jeans and sneakers, she wore her sliver watch that she barely wears not that she barely wear t it's more of she often forgets to wear it, she also had her glasses on and underneath her t-shit she wore a heart shaped locket.
"Riley you ready?" Mark yelled out from her bedroom he knew well enough that the girl was most probably in the bathroom getting ready so he didn't really bother searching the house he just went straight to her bedroom plumping himself down the bed "Yup grab my bag for me will you" She yelled back exiting the bathroom heading for the kitchen she had left her phone on the kitchen when she went down to grab some water before freshening up.
"Have it right here." Mark said popping up by the kitchen entrance holding up her backpack with a smile on his face "Great let's go" She chimed hopping along not bother to get her bag from Mark she spoiled herself that way when it came to the older boy "Are you that excited to meet them?" Mark asked chuckling from the younger one's jolly actions she even skipped inside the elevator
"Yes" She replied confidently sure she was she was like a huge Ahgase of course she would be excited to meet her favorite group "You know they're not all that special" Mark said popping her happy bubble earning a glare "No, you're not that special" She hissed crossing her arms on the older boy "Ouch" Mark said a hurt expression painted on his face
"Ew, stop that" Riley said cringing from the pouty face Mark was giving her "Nope not till you take that back" Mark said he had his baby voice on oh dear God he was releasing all his aegyo "Okay, okay I take it back just stop that" Riley said giving up cringing to the max
-oOo-
"Guys hide everything Mark hyung said they're almost here" Youngjae said panicked as he entered the practice room everything was scattered on the floor their bags were all over the place, their extra cloths for practice were all over the place "What?" Everyone yelled out eyeballs popping out everyone scrammed grabbing their bags and cloths that lay all over the place.
"Mark hyung said they're downstairs" Youngjae yelled out once more creating more panic among themselves everything was still a mess everyone was seriously bumping into each other Yugyeom and Bambam literally bumped into each other falling on their buts on the floor.
"Am, guys" Mark said trying to get his member's attention through all the ruckus that was going one seeing Mark at the door a piercing scream could be hear from Got7's practice room everyone was panicked throwing all their things in the mini storage room inside the practice room "Hyung stall for us" Yugyeom said out of panic everyone to panicked to even listen to what Mark had to say which was a big foul on their part since Mark was suppose too tell them to chill since Riley had gone to the bathroom first, seriously though they should have let Mark talk.
By the time they had finished Mark was heading out to find Riley since the girl seem to be taking some time, Mark was concerned that the girl had lost her way to their practice room from the bathroom, only to be surprised that the girl was heading his way with an all too familiar figure walking beside her laughing along with her.
"Oh, Mark what are you doing out here you could have waited inside" Riley said a smile on her face blinking at the older boy Mark quite uncomfortable with the presence of the other person standing beside the girl "Mark you never told me you knew Jihyun" The elder male said with a smile patting Mark's shoulder confusing the boy
"Ne?" Mark asked blinking a few times he was seriously confused about the situation at hand how in the world did their CEO know about the girl "Jihyun's dad is one of our company's major stock holders and one of the few biggest sponsors we have." The elder male explained seeing the confused look painted on the younger boy's face
"Ring me up some time Jihyun-ah I'll treat you to some diner when you have time before you fly back" The elder male said patting the younger girl's back with a smile "Ne samchon" Riley nodded with a smiled waving a goodbye to the elder male "Oh, and say hi to your parents for me." The elder male yelled out from the other end of the hall before completely disappearing not giving the girl enough time to reply to his request already knowing what her answer will be
"Care to explain?" Mark said brows up high arms crossed to his chest tapping his foot on the ground expecting some kind of explanation from the girl in front of him "Close family friend" She said with a shrug avoiding further more questioning but of course she knew that wasn't going to do it all "Godfather" She tried again a smile on her face and an begging expression, she was practically begging the older boy to drop the topic for the mean time "Fine but I need details later" Mark nodded throwing his hands in the air in surrender dropping the topic grabbing a hold of the door knob as the doors opened revealing six bright smiles that greeted them
"Hey I'm Jackson, nice to finally meet you" Jackson said being the first one to introduce himself while everyone else was literally pulling out their English dictionary's inside their brains "I'm Bambam" Bambam confidently said stepping up right after Jackson "Hi I'm Riley, it's nice to finally meet you guys too" She nodded acknowledging the two who had already stepped up to introduce themselves a smile plastered on her face
"I'm Youngjae, ah, nice to meet you" Youngjae said stepping up with his broken English the girl laughing it off she actually found it cute how the younger boy tried his best "I'm Yugyeom, you are so pretty" Yugyeom went on ahead right after his Youngjae hyung now leaving JJ project with their unsaid introductions "I'm Jinyoung" Jinyoung said simply with a warm smile a small wave "I'm Jaebum, but you can am, can what was that, how do I say that, oh, you can just call me JB" Jaebum said his introduction being the one with the most KoNglish in it earning a laugh from the younger boys
As much as Mark was enjoying this he had to say this was actually a little too much for him to handle, sooner or later if this doesn't stop soon the boy might end up dying from too much laughter. With that being said he whispered to the younger girl "How long are you planning to keep this up?" Mark asked in a whisper actually loud enough for everyone the room to hear with the girl frowning at him she was actually enjoying it and Mark just had to ruin her fun "You're no fun" She pouted turning to the other six members bowing a small bow a warm smile on her face
"Annyeonghaseyo, jeo-Jihyun ibnida, deudieo mannaseo bangawayo." She greeted pulling out her Korean dictionary in her brain sure she was raised in the states but like Mark's family Riley's parents were still more on their Asian roots with that Riley was raised speaking her parent's mother tongue with that being said it is not a wonder that her family didn't really have that of a hard time getting along with Mark's family.
"Are you Korean?" Youngjae bluntly asked quite surprised at the girl's quite amazing Korean pronunciation "Ne" She nodded with a smile with her reply earning a few deep breaths and 'what the' from the boys "Sorry to ask but, your age is?" Jaebum asked politely wanting to start off with a good start with the girl "We're the same age" She replied with a smiled
"Ah, really?" Jinyoung asked for confirmation also wanting to start on the right foot with the girl "Yup, you can actually drop horrifies, I don't really mind" She nodded with a smiled assuring the boys "Then we can call you noona right?" Yugyeom asked excitement filled his voice earning a gentle laugh from the as she nodded in approval
"I can call you Riley right?" Jackson asked he was still using his English vocabulary earning a hit from Jinyoung who glared at him "Speak in Korean" Jinyoung hissed smacking Jackson on the head "You can call me whatever you like, I'd tell you to call me by my Chinese name but this one is going to get mad if I say that" She said pointing out to Mark who looked at her with serious look on his face
She never really got it but Mark had always hated it when other people called her by her Chinese name well of course except her parents but they just as well barely called her by her Chinese name her dad mostly did since his the Chinese in the family but her English name was the one that was most commonly used and her mom called her by her Korean name, thinking about it now Mark was actually the only other person who called her by her Chinese name, right after her dad of course. Joey, Mark's younger brother used to call her by her Chinese name as well but it stopped after a few days, later on she found out it was Mark's doing the boy actually treated his younger brother just so that kid would stop calling her by her name weird really but she just found it funny how Mark could be overly possessive at times the boy had always wanted to have a different name for her something only he called her no one else thus the number of nicknames he has for her.
"Noona you have a Chinese name?" Bambam asked probing his little nosey head into it totally ignoring Marks glares that were directly firing at him at the moment "Yes I do actually my full name is Riley Jie Hong, my Korean name on the other hand is Hong Jihyun, I'm not actually pure Korean, my mom's Korean but my dad is Taiwanese." She explained laying down her birth roots
"Suǒyǐ nǐ huì shuō zhōngwén?" Jackson asked everyone was having a head ached with the changing language series that kept going because of Jackson "Dui" She replied with Jackson earning another hit from Jinyoung "Again, Korean" Jinyoung hissed glaring at Jackson who simply gave up apologizing to the younger one
The day was short and time was ticking fast, soon enough it was time to go home, she bid her goodbyes to the boys and they did the same, with number's being exchange and another set of goodbyes in the line Riley and Mark were already on their way back to the apartment. It was a silent ride back to their 'home' the traffic in the highway was definitely not helping they were both tired and sleepy, all her energy was wiped out she was used to hanging out with boys and copping up with their long lasting stamina's but those boys were quite a handful.
She leaned her head on the window fighting the urge to sleep, but her eyelids were not cooperating, Mark had notice the girl's frail expression he knew she was worn out already with the light red he grabbed his phone running through his playlist picking a song, as if just on cue the light's turned green as soon as Mark had place his phone down. The soft melody played on the radio, her eyelids were betraying her as the slowly closed giving in to her body, she closed her eyes unwillingly and before she knew it she had fallen asleep. Arriving at their destination the cloth read eleven thirty in the evening it was thirty minutes to midnight Mark let out a sigh he was debating to himself weather to wake the girl up or just let her sleep. Deciding to let the girl get some sleep for a few more minutes unfastening her seatbelt lifting her body up, carrying her bridal style, by the time that Mark had reach her bed room the girl had already stirred up from sleep, she just let Mark carry her since she was too tired to even move. She had been clinging on to him like a baby koala clinging on it its tree for dear life, by the time Mark had reach the bedroom to place her down on her she had her arms wrapped around his neck stubbornly won't let go, a sigh escaping Mark lips, this wasn't the first time this happened.
"Lily you have to get up and freshen up before going to bed" Mark whispered still stuck his hands supporting his weight so that his body doesn't crush the girl beneath him "I'm too tired" She mumbled her arms still wrapped around the older boy's neck pulling him closer burring her face in the crook of his neck "I know baby girl but you have to least change your cloths" Mark said not really bothering to move from their current position sure it wasn't the most comfortable position in the world but it wasn't that bad either and he had to admit that
"Just five more minutes" She mumbled as he gave a small nod understanding the younger one's words "Just five okay" Mark said making sure that girl understood her spot, he had to let her know that she needed to get up from that bed weather she liked it or not once that five minutes was over
Once the five minute time limit was over both of them got out of bed grabbing some comfortable cloths to change into Riley had gone to the bathroom to freshen up and so did Mark, not really wanting to wait being tired himself, Mark headed for the guest bathroom freshening up as well. By the time that they were both done taking their light shower for the night they headed off to the bedroom even bumping into each other at the doorway with Mark looking down as he was drying his hair and Riley does the exact same thing only with eyes closed so she didn't really see Mark coming thus bumping into him. Both of them tucked into bed, warm and cozy under the blanket, he had his arms wrapped around her waist once more his face buried at the crook of her neck, as they both drifted off to dream land.
