The next morning Riley woke up and noticed she was in a warm pair of arms. She turned her head and smiled seeing how peaceful Punk looked. She wanted to do something special for him after all he had done for her. She decided cooking him a good breakfast would be a good start. She started to move, but his hold on her tightened. She turned her head to look at him again. His eyes were still close, but he spoke, "Please stay." His words now mirrored hers from the previous night. Only he had added to it, "This is nice." A smile grew on her expression and she allowed herself to move closer to her. He shifted around and she laid her head on his chest and was content just listening to his breathing and heartbeat.
"Yes it indeed is" Riley agreed with him. She laid there still and quiet for a few more moments before she moved her head so she could see his face. "I've never felt like this about anyone before…this connection…" Her voice trailed off she was afraid of mentioning anything to soon. It had only been a few days of knowing him.
Though the worry from her mind seemed to cease seeing Punk smiling back down at her. Their eyes met and they shared this silent moment before he spoke up. "I definitely know what you mean. It is why I couldn't bring myself to leave you behind." She smiled at him and then moved her head back down to lay on his chest as his arm wrapped around her body.
About an hour later Riley noticed his breathing was much more steady and in an even pattern now. She looked up and watched his sleeping form for a few moments. Then she decided it was time to execute her breakfast plan. She slowly and quietly wormed her way out of his arms without waking him up.
She walked down the stairs and headed for the kitchen. Riley looked around the kitchen and found everything she needed to make some homemade French toast. She was about to go into the pantry when the door opened on its own. She picked up a frying pan and raised as she was ready to tackle any intruder that came out of the pantry.
Much to her surprised out popped Colt he turned and saw Riley holding a frying pan over her head ready to strike. It gave him quite the surprised when he dropped the cereal box on the floor and cheerio's scattered on the tile floor. He exclaimed, "What the hell woman!"
Riley lowered the frying pan and questioned, "Me? You're the one sneaking around the house while people are sleeping! Don't you know how to knock or use the doorbell?"
Colt held up his hand revealing a key, "I have a key so I can come and go as I please."
"While Phil is gone, and he's clearly home." Riley pointed out.
Colt asked, "So what's your point?" Riley groaned and went back to what she was doing before she was given the fright attack. "So where is Phil?"
Riley answered, "Sleeping." Colt looked at her like he didn't understand a word she had said. She glanced at him seeing the confusion on his expression. "What?"
Colt stated, "Phil does not sleep."
Riley smirked, "Well he is sleeping now. I suppose you are staying for breakfast?" She already knew the answer to this, but thought she would confirm it.
Colt said, "Well I was going to make my own, but if you are offering."
Riley laughed and replied, "I can make enough for all of us."
Colt remarked, "You are definitely a keeper."
Riley arched an eyebrow and questioned, "Because I can cook?"
Colt smirked, "Because you are cooking for me."
"I am cooking for Phil you are just getting lucky" Riley pointed out.
"Story of his life" Riley's head snapped to the direction of the stairs seeing Phil at the bottom of them. He started to come towards them. He spotted the Cheerio's all over the floor. He gave Colt a look who immediately got up and started picking them up.
"Colt is also lucky that he didn't get knocked out when he popped out of the pantry." Riley stated.
Phil turned towards Colt as he took a seat at the breakfast bar and asked, "No food at your house?"
Colt responded, "No because I house sit for you and stock your place and therefore mine is bare."
Riley stated, "Well he is back now, so maybe you should go grocery shopping."
Phil laughed as Colt remarked, "Why would I when this place is stocked?"
Riley shook her head and said, "I give up."
Colt smirked, "That is a wise move because I could go on and on."
Phil got up and started to make some coffee and agreed with Colt. "That is so true he could and he has before in the past."
Riley stated, "Until you push the wrong person and suddenly you are not talking anymore."
Colt laughed, "You are going to do that with a frying pan?"
Phil questioned, "Frying pan?"
Colt answered, "That is what she was defending herself with when I came out of the pantry." Phil looked at Riley seeing if it was true.
Riley said, "It would have been effective." Phil just laughed.
Colt replied, "Sure it would have been"
Riley asked, "Want to find out?"
Colt said, "No I've seen tangled."
Riley laughed and Phil questioned, "You've seen what?"
Colt shook his head and asked, "So what is for breakfast?"
Phil glanced at Riley hoping she would clue him in on this 'tangled' bit, but she decided to give Colt a break. She smiled at Phil and then answered, "French toast." Phil shook his head and went back to finishing making his coffee since it was obvious he was not going to get an answer out of either of them.
After breakfast Colt asked, "So what are we doing today?"
Phil motioned to Riley and him, "We are going to see the sights of Chicago."
Colt looked hurt and questioned, "So what, I'm not invited?"
Phil flatly stated, "No."
Colt looked like a wounded puppy dog and then asked, "So I will meet you two for dinner?"
Phil shook his head no again, Colt pouted, while Riley was laughing at the exchange between the two friends. Riley stood up and said, "I am going to go get change. You two make up while I am gone." She smiled at Phil as she started to head for the stairs.
Colt exclaimed, "I am not the one with the problem." Once she was up the stairs he turned to Phil and asked, "Why can't I hang out with the two of you?"
Phil groaned, "Gosh man you look like someone ran over your dog."
Colt crossed his arms across his chest and stated, "Nope, just ran over my heart."
Phil rolled his eyes and said, "Tomorrow you can hang with us."
Colt rolled his eyes back and stated, "Tomorrow you're leaving."
Phil smirked, "Than you will be the last person on our minds 'cause you will be the last people we see."
Colt remarked, "Oh well in that case that will make it all better."
Phil smiled as he stood up and headed for the stairs, "I thought it would be. Now go home."
(AN: It's a short chapter, but I wanted to give you something while I am at work. Been typing this up on my breaks. Up next will be a little fluff some of Phil's softer side. Don't forget to review!)
