Friday Night:

Lucas didn't go home for dinner so he decided to stop by Water Grill to eat one of his favorite burgers in town. He took a seat by the bar and asked for a Bacon Cheeseburger Deluxe with a side of fries. A woman approached as he looked to see who it was, to his surprise it was Missy in a black bodycon dress with her hair straightened and heavy makeup.

"Is this seat taken?" she asked as she looked at him.

Once again she managed to get his attention. "No, have a seat?"

She gladly took a seat next to him and smiled. "Grabbing a bite before?"

"Yeah, haven't ate since five. Did you?"

"Brilliant minds think alike."

"If so you should try this one." he said motioning towards his burger.

"Would you like to order it for me?"

He smiled. "And why would I do that?"

"Come on Lucas Friar, be the gentleman you are."

"Alright then." he said as he looked back at the waitress. "Can I have another one for the lovely lady right next to me?"

"Coming right up." the waitress walked to the back.

"And make it the special."

"So...tell me about yourself." Missy said as she ran a hand through her hair.

"What would you like to know?"

"Tell me about your family, how'd you and Riley meet?"

"College." he answered smiling at the memory. "Actually if you wanna go way back, we met in the 6th grade."

"Really? Long time friend?"

"Yeah, we sort of grew apart in High School."

Missy glowered. "I hated High School, I lost like half of my friends there."

"Yeah, it wasn't a pleasant time for me either. Got into a fight with another classmate."

"Nu'uh. Do tell." she asked bracing herself for a story.

Lucas hated the memory, if Riley hadn't been there then maybe he would've had a chance to win her back. "Nah, I don't think I should."

"Well whenever you're ready, i'm here to listen."

"Nice to know...you look great by the way."

She looked down at her dress. "Oh, this old thing. It's nothing, the last time I wore this dress was back in June."

The waitress placed the plate right in front of Missy and her eyes widened. "Okay this looks amazing."

Lucas laughed. "Yeah, I don't think you'll finish it."

"Really what makes you think that?"

"A woman like you won't be able to finish something like that."

"I'm about to prove you wrong." she said as she placed three fries in her mouth.

"I bet you will."

Riley was in tears. Explaining the story was a little harder than she thought, it has been years and it still scares her. "He grabbed me and he started kissing my neck. I told him to stop, but he wouldn't. I kicked, punched, scratched, and bit him but nothing would get him off of me. It was just making him more aggressive, he told me the more I refused the longer he would..." she let out a sob. "He stripped me down to my bra and panties and he held the pocket knife on my neck, it wasn't until then when Lucas walked through the door. Charlie saw him and he slid the knife down through my thigh, Lucas pulled Charlie off of me and he beat him up till he was out cold, he didn't stop until I pulled him back. The police came and they took Charlie, he's going to spend 25 years in jail for murder and for trying to rape me."

"He's a horrible man." Malia said as she hugged Riley. "People like that don't have a heart."

"And know, six years after I still get the nightmares. Today's was the worst out of all of them."

"What was it about?"

"He took Katherine from me." Riley said. "I don't want him to know I have a family, he can't know that Lucas is my husband and he definitely can't know about our daughter."

"He's in jail, I doubt he'll come near your family again. Good bless your old friend and may she rest in peace."

"I remember her everyday."

"Riley if you ever need anything, a friend, a shoulder to cry on, or someone to just listen...know that i'm a house away."

"Thank you." Riley breathed. "You should go home, i'm sorry I woke you up."

"I don't mind."

After she left Riley walked to her daughter's nursery and found her asleep. She whispered, "Mommy loves you."

"She's going back to college next month to get her degree in finance." Lucas said as he finished the last bite from his burger, he looked back at Missy who was already finished. To his surprise she ordered another set of large fries for the both of them. "You know, I still don't see why your boyfriend left you."

She smiled. "Damn, Riley is a lucky woman."

"Yeah, I guess she is."

"So why didn't she finish college?"

Lucas didn't want her to know, it was Riley's past and it wasn't his place to tell anyone. "She had family problems." he lied.

"Well she managed to come out on top, and she's blessed with a handsome husband and a beautiful daughter."

"How you holding up, you know with your ex?"

"Who?" Missy asked knowing he would understand her.

Knowingly he did. "Good, forget about him."

The bartender walked up to them. "Would you two like anything?"

"Actually can I take a dirty martini." Missy asked, she looked back at Lucas. "Make his filthy."

"Sure." the bartender walked back and started on their drinks.

"Why did you make mine filthy?" Lucas asked.

"You've been working for four months straight and you have a daughter to take care of, this is your time to cut loose."

"I don't know, Missy...i'd like to stay sober for my wife."

"She doesn't have to know."

The party consisted of alcohol and dancing, both of which Lucas had a little too much of. But yet, he found himself dancing with none other than Missy. She was coming on to him a little to strong. As a married man he did the right thing of making their relationship platonic.

"Tequila?" Missy asked as she held out a cup.

"Nah i've had three martinis, a tequila won't do any good."

"C'mon don't be a coward."

"Alright." He chugged the tequila and started dancing.

They scooted over to the side because more people started dancing. "You know I wasn't going to show up."

"Why not?"

"Well, i'm just a temp and i've only been working here for a week." she said.

"I'm pretty sure everyone here wanted you to come, I mean if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have showed up either. I would have been working on some files."

She laughed as she glanced up, to both of their surprises they were under a mistletoe.

"You wanna put one on the cheek?" she asked as she put her hair to the left side of her shoulder.

"I don't think I should, keep in mind I am married."

"If you don't people will start talking..."

"I guess we'll have to take that chance. We're in public, i'm married...speaking of being married this one has to go home."

He walked out of the horde of people and he bumped into Derek.

"Hey man, are you going home?"

"Yeah." Lucas replied as he put on his blazer.

"Oh C'mon. Where's your holiday spirit?"

"With my wife and child, i'm gonna go take a leak then i'm out." Lucas said as he walked towards the urinals.

After he finished he started washing his hands. Then Missy walked in a with the mistletoe in her mouth, she pushed him inside one of the stalls and she went in there with him.

"Missy what are you-"

He was cut of by her lips on his, she moved down to his neck and back to his lips, he quickly pushed her away. She grabbed on to his belt and began to untie it but he stopped her.

"What are you doing?" he whispered.

"You said we were in public...no we aren't." she slid down his body placing her hands on him.

He stopped her and pushed her back. "I'm married!" He left her there and he quickly walked out, his drive home was a blur. He walked inside his house and into the bathroom in his room, a kiss mark was on his neck and his lips. He splashed cold water on his face and changed into his night wear, which consisted of pajama pants and no shirt. He slowly made his way on the bed and wrapped his arm around Riley's waist.

"Did anything happen at the party?" she asked yawning.

"No." He lied. "Just a regular party."

What happens next? Riley's nightmares are out on the open and Missy's lust is now clear for Lucas.

Also if you guys have any song recommendations I would like to know and maybe add them to the story.
