Chapter 16:
::Dakota's POV::
Rowena and I were hanging out, having fun and doing whatever when Riley ran in, "HEY! HEY GUESS WHAT?" We turned to her and Rowena said in a calming voice,
"Riley? You don't have to yell." She frowned,
"Shush! You didn't hear what I had to say." I rolled my eyes,
"Okay. What is it Riley?" I asked. She smiled,
"I'm gonna buy this building so that I could build a dance thingy there and I'm going to go check it out right now."
"Really?" I asked, trying to act interested.
"That sounds amazing Riley. Want some cookies?" Rowena asked her. She smiled,
"Hah~. Yes please." We handed her a bag of cookies and she gobbled them happily, "Mmm~. Cookies~." Hikaru walked over and sat beside me, lightly kissing my cheek,
"Hi Dakota~." I smiled at him,
"Hey Hikaru." He looked past me and smiled at Rowena,
"Hey Rowena~." She waved,
"Hey Hika-ma-ru." Hikaru smiled at Riley,
"Hey Riley. Can I have a cook-" She ran and pressed herself into a corner,
"My cookies. Stay away or I'll bite your hand off." I scoffed,
"You're a little overprotective of your cookies today…" She nodded, growling quietly,
"Yes I am." Rowena frowned,
"Don't eat all of them fatty." Riley just stayed in her little corner, eating the cookies as quickly as possible. Rowena and I went over to her, "Come on Riley, give us the cookies." Rowena said.
"Ya you fat ass. Just give them up." I said almost warningly. She growled and kept eating. I sighed, "Sometimes you just have to take them from her otherwise you won't get any." I reached for the other chocolate covered graham crackers but then Riley bit my hand. I pulled my hand back, "Ow you bitch!"
"Riley. Don't bite people." Rowena scolded. Riley stuck her tongue out at her and kept eating but now she was starting to take her time eating them. I held my hand and Hikaru walked over,
"Are you okay? Did Riley bite you again?" I nodded,
"Ya."
"Why'd she bite you this time?"
"I tried to take her cookies." Hikaru glared at Riley,
"Stop biting my girlfriend. Now give them some cookies." She glared at him,
"Are you lookin' for a slap?" Mori walked over and I pointed to him,
"MAKE RILEY GIVE US SOME COOKIES!" He paused,
"…what?" Rowena stood up,
"Riley's not giving up the cookies and you might be able to make her give them to us." He nodded,
"Oh…Riley? Share the cookies." She shook her head,
"I'm not sharing the chocolate covered graham crackers. You know how much I love them." He shrugged,
"I tried."
"Don't give up that easily." I complained.
"I'm not." And then he walked away. Hikaru raised an eyebrow,
"…that's not helping at all." We watched him for a few seconds then he came back with Honey. IT WAS PERFECT! Riley couldn't deny Honey anything. I smiled,
"Hey Honey? Can you get Riley to give us the cookies?" He nodded,
"Okay~." Then he skipped to Riley, "Hey Rye-chan? Can I have the rest of the cookies~?" Riley paused, staring at Honey before sighing,
"Of course Honey. You can have them." She reluctantly handed him the bag and he gave the bag to me, "Here Kota-chan~." I smiled,
"Thanks Honey." Rowena looked shocked,
"That's amazing. How'd you guys do that?" Hikaru puffed out his chest,
"Riley's only true weakness. Honey." I poked Hikaru's belly, making him gasp and double over while holding his stomach.
"Ya. Riley can't resist Honey's cuteness." I added. Riley stood up,
"Well, since you guys stole my food, I'm gonna go and check out that building." Mori looked down at her,
"Do you want me to go with you?" She shook her head and kissed him,
"Nope. I can do it by mahself. See ya gois~." And then she skipped out of the room. I looked down at the cookies in my hand,
"Yay. We got the cookies~." Rowena nodded,
"Yes we do. Now, do you wanna watch Criminal Minds?" I nodded,
"Sure."
::Riley's POV::
I liked having those cookies. They were my absolute favorite. But now it was time to go to the building that I was going to buy and then fix up to BE MY NEW DANCE CLUB! I was going to make millions then I wouldn't have to abide by my mother's stupid rules. I was walking around on the sixth floor, really quite intrigued by the rough exterior. The floor's were rotting and the walls were all mouldy and gross but with a little work, it'd be nice and fun and then I'D HAVE THE MOST AMAZING DANCE BUILDING THING EVER! I took out my cell phone and called Dakota. She answered almost immediately,
"Hey Riley! What do you want? I'm busy watching Criminal Minds."
"I just wanted to say that, THIS BUILDING IS AMAZING! With a bit of fixing and other things, IT'LL BE THE BEST DANCE PARTY THING EVER!"
"Congratulations."
"Thanks. Now, do you think that you can help me pay for some of-" I didn't get to finish the question because the floor beneath me sunk and I fell, yelling,
"FUUUUUUUUUUUCK! OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH JESUS CHRIST! HOLY FUCK!" I hit the first floor's floor with a loud thud. I was shaking uncontrollably and sat up, looking over myself. I was…OKAY! I threw my arms in the air, "I'M OKAY!" I faintly heard,
"RILEY? RILEY? ARE YOU OKAY?" I pressed my phone back to my ear,
"Ya. Miraculously, I'm fine."
"What happened?"
"The floor collapsed and then I fell quite a few floors down but I'm okay."
"Jesus you freaked me out."
"I freaked you out?"
::Dakota's POV::
Riley just told me that she fell through a building and that she was somehow okay. Then…there was some loud noise then the line just went dead. I frowned, "Riley?" There was nothing but static. Rowena turned to me,
"What? Is everything alright?" I shrugged,
"I dunno. The line just…went dead." She raised an eyebrow,
"Well then…maybe she's out of cell range." I nodded,
"Ya I guess you're right."
::A Few Hours Later::
I didn't know where Riley was. She just didn't come back after she called. It was kind of weird. Rowena and I were watching TV at my house when Hikaru ran in, "GO TO THE NEWS! NOW!" I frowned,
"Why?"
"JUST DO IT!" I held up my hands,
"Okay." I turned to the news channel and watched it. Apparently, a building collapsed and someone was in the building. They were still looking for the person. Rowena looked at Hikaru,
"Hikaru? Why are we watching this?" He sat beside me,
"Just keep watching." We kept watching, utterly bored until something finally caught our attention. The person they brought out of the building. It was Riley.
