Chapter 7

It was a bust at her agent's. It was too late in the break to book anything that was good. The projects that she wanted, would conflict with her schedule for Season 2 of Austin and Ally. Why did she wait so long to try? That's right she was caught up in her new romance.

But if she had a choice, she would choose to spend time with Riker over any audition. As she was waiting for her agent, she was receiving texts from Riker. Telling her good luck. That she was beautiful. And that she would do great.

How lucky was she? She definitely was a lucky girl.

She was back on her way to the apartment, when her phone was ringing. Turning down the radio, she was jamming to R5 what Riker had amazing singing voice. And pushed on her Bluetooth.

"Hello?"

"Hey Laura, Long time no chat! How have you been?"

"Raini! How are you? I'm doing good miss you guys can't wait to get back to work you know?" it was always a good thing to chat with Raini. She was definitely one of her besties.

"I'm good, I am actually headed back to LA soon, so can't wait to see you. I just wanted to catch up, so what have you been up to on this break? Seeing anyone?"

Laura blushed. If Only Raini knew. The last time Raini saw her, she was single and still a virgin.

Now she isn't either due to Riker. Not that she could blame him, most of the time she is the one initiating it. Who can blame her, the boy is hot.

"I take it by the silence that you are! Now Laura you got to give me details!" Raini said excitedly. She was so excited for Laura. Laura and she have been BFF's ever since they meet on the set of Hung all those years ago. Laura deserved to be happy.

" Ummm…"

"Laura I definitely know you are now! Tell me who is they lucky guy?"

"Raini..."

"Tell me Laura, What kind of bff are you if you don't share who you are dating with your best friend."

"Riker. I am dating Riker."

"Riker? As in Riker Anthony Lynch?"

"Yep that would be the one."

Silence.

Laura was getting nervous. Would Raini be upset that she was dating Riker? And why did Laura blab to her? As Laura was about to say something Raini spoke, or should say screeched.

"OMGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG that is awesome!"

Laura laughed.

'I take it you approve?"

Raini rolled her eyes. "Yes I am happy for you, Riker is such a sweetheart and you both would be so good together. And by the way Laur if you are happy then you don't need anyone's approval."

Laura smiled. This is why she told Raini. Raini was awesome like that.

"Thanks Raini."

"No Problem, so how long has this been going on? And when did you learn you had feelings for Riker?"

So for the next forty five minutes Laura explained to Raini how she always felt a connection to Riker even when they meet. At first she thought it was just something fleeting but as she got to know him throughout the filming of the show, Riker just proved to be someone that she was interested in getting to know. And that nothing happened until Riker helped her move into her place during the hiatus. She also told Raini how sweet and romantic Riker was towards her. He was just a really amazing guy.

"I am so happy for you two. I can't wait to get home and I will take you two out to celebrate."

"Aw Thanks Raini, You don't know how much it means to have your support."

'No problem girl, you know I want you happy. And Laura doesn't let anyone else determine your happiness okay? If you want to be with Riker and he wants to be with you, then don't let anyone tell you otherwise okay?"

'I will, Thanks Raini. I am just nervous on how Ross is going to react to me being in love with his brother. I really hope he is cool with it."

Raini snorted.

"Laura you know how much I love Ross, but after getting Maia pregnant he has no room at all to be pissed. I still can't believe that."

"Yeah me either, But maybe he is happy with Maia, I just feel so bad for them both, the press is being way harsh with them."

"Yeah and poor Maia lost not only the movie but her deal with Disney. I guess we should be thankful that they are letting Ross keep doing Austin and Ally. Otherwise we all be without a job, just because Ross wanted to get some."

"Raini..."

"No Laura, I love Ross like a brother I think he is a great Guy, But to have sex with someone who first he barely knows and not wear any protection? That gives new meaning to being a dumbass."

Laura snorted. Raini did always know how to keep it real. She definitely is most like her character Trish on the show.

"And in all honestly I am shocked he hooked up with her. I always thought he had a thing for you."

"Me? No way Ross wouldn't like me in that way."

"Laura I love you, but sometimes you can be so dense. I caught Ross looking at you like he was watching something precious. He likes you Laura, or liked in the past at least."

Laura didn't know what to think about that. Ross liking her? That couldn't be true. Because at times she felt like she annoyed him. Laura wasn't going to lie, Ross is extremely attractive and any girl would be lucky to have him. But she didn't feel that way about him. Plus even if Ross liked her, it was obvious that he was over her. Why would he sleep with Maia if he had any feelings for Laura?

"Well obviously he has moved on, I mean why would he have sex with Maia if he had feelings for me?"

"Um…maybe for the fact that he is a guy and he is a pig?"

Laura snorted. "Raini not all Guys are pigs, Riker sure isn't."

"Babe, I know you love him, but even Riker is a pig at times."

Laura rolled her eyes.

"So does that apply to Calum too?"

Laura could feel Rain's blush from over the phone. That is what she thought.

"That was mean Laura."

"No it wasn't." Both Laura and Raini laughed.

"So tell me, how is Riker in bed?"

Laura screeched. Raini Laughed.

"Raini!"

"Hey what are friends for? Plus I've seen Riker; his body is to die for. So I am assuming he looks amazing naked. So how are his skills in bed?"

Laura had to check to see if she was still alive. She loved Raini but the girl could be too much at times.

"Raini I can't believe you sometimes."

'You know you love me."

"I do but come on."

"What friends tell each other these things."

Laura was silent.

"Riker is amazing in bed if you want to know. And for being a singer, he really is great at being vocal if you know what I mean."

Raini just blushed and screeched. Laura laughed.

"Maybe I should hook up with a Lynch huh?"

"Who Ross, Rocky or Ryland."

"Ross gross, he is too much of a brother, Rocky and Ryland not my type. Sorry looks like you will be the only one to be banging a Lynch.'

"Raini!"

Raini again just laughed. Laura was so easy sometimes.

Laura finally arrived back home. After having to listen Raini tease her about her and Riker's sex lives, Laura wanted nothing more to then just get home. It was so great having someone else know about her and Riker and approved. Two people down and the rest to go. As Laura made her way up to her door, when she looked out to the beach that is when she noticed Riker and Rocky were out there looks like they were about to surf.

Laura sighed. This really was the life. She loved being able to be with Riker anytime that she wanted. She even loved having Rocky as a roommate. The three of them sort of felt like another family of sorts. And to be honest Laura wouldn't want it any other way. Laura put her things down as she made her way down to the beach.

She guessed right the boys were surfing. Laura just sat down and watched them. It was amazing how they were able to stay on the board and ride the waves. It wasn't long until Riker saw Laura and he smiled. He got off the board after he finished his wave and ran up to her. Placing the board on the sand, Riker plopped right next to her, getting Laura wet in the process.

"Riker!"

Riker laughed. "I thought you liked it when I get you all wet."

Laura blushed. She slapped his shoulder. Riker just laughed even harder.

'I'm kidding babe, kidding. But seriously I missed you. How did it go with your agent?"

Laura sighed. "It went alright. I waited to long for anything before the next season start up; the projects that were interesting wouldn't be done in time."

'Oh I'm Sorry."

"It's okay, just gives me more time to spend with you." Laura smiled. Riker bed down to kiss her. What it has been hours since he kissed her last. He needed more.

The kiss broker, Laura asked "How was your day?"

"It was good, Rocky and I just spend most of the day here surfing. It was nice getting time to spend with him. Made me realize that I missed my family. And that I can't wait to see them."

Laura smiled.

"Well they are coming home today so you can see them. Speaking of do you know when they are coming in?"

"I heard about 4:00 this afternoon, and then my mom was going to bring Ross here."

"Are you ready for that?" Laura asked.

Riker looked at Laura. "You know what? I think I am, no in fact I know I am. I want them to know that I love you, and that you make me happy. I want us to be able to live our lives without hiding it you know?"

Laura just smiled. "Well Raini knows about us."

"She does? You told her?"

"Yes she does and you know Raini she wouldn't let a subject drop, she asked if I was seeing someone and I told her. Are you mad?"

"Yes."

Laura looked shocked. Was he really mad? Riker then started to laugh, that was when Laura knew she was being teased.

'You are such a jackass."

"But I am your jackass." Riker smiled.

Laura laughed.

"So how did she take it?" Riker asked.

"She was happy for us. She thought there was always something between us. Claiming she saw the looks we gave each other but who knows Raini likes to exaggerate. She also wanted to know how you were in bed.'

Riker blushed. Laura didn't know someone could be blushing so much without something seriously wrong with them.

'Did you say anything?"

"I told her you were very good in bed."

'Laura" Riker sputtered.

" I told her about all the things you do, how much you love it everywhere and the things you could do with your…'

'LAURA!" Riker shouted. People were looking. Laura just laughed.

"I'm kidding; I swear the look on your face was priceless."

"That was so not funny."

"Yes it was babe."

"Funny, Real Funny." Riker said.

"I thought so."

Riker wrapped his arm around her shoulder and brought her closer to him. Despite getting wet from his wet suit, Laura didn't mind. She loved being close to Riker whenever she got a chance. They just sat there taking in the moment of being together. That was the scene that Rocky saw when he walked up to them. He just rolled his eyes. They were always so sickingly sweet with each other. But despite his comment Rocky was happy for them. Riker was his big brother and he was happy to see Riker so happy. After all Riker made sure to take care of his siblings. He was just awesome like that. And Laura was a great girl, always so positive and caring about other people. Rocky was happy the two found each other. And Rocky knew that his parents would be happy for the two, despite the age difference anyone could see the love the two have for each other. And his parents just adore Laura, so they would have no issue with them being together. Rydel and Ryland both love Laura as well. The only one that he could have an issue with Riker and Laura being together is Ross.

Ross, he loved his younger brother he really did, but Ross was always been a little selfish. Despite the fact that he got another girl pregnant, Rocky could see Ross being upset with Laura being with Riker. He just really hoped that for once Ross would be happy for Riker and not throw a tantrum over Laura and Ross. Rocky hoped that he didn't make a mistake when he offered that Ross could stay with them. It wouldn't be fair to Laura to have Ross stay with them only for him to throw a fit over her choice of a boyfriend. Riker and Laura were lost in the kiss they were sharing; it looked to be getting a little heated. They really don't need to put on a show for the public.

"Hey you two, you do realize I am here right? And we are here on the beach so unless you want people to get a show, I would cool down."

Both Riker and Laura pulled away. Blush lighting their cheeks.

Rocky chuckled. "Hey Guys sorry, But I figured you guys wouldn't want to be embarrassed. Plus it is time to go home and get the place ready for Ross."

"Thanks Rocky for ruining the moment. But yeah I guess we should go." Riker said as he got up and offered his hand to Laura and helped her get up. The three of them made their way back to the apartment. Riker and Rocky changing into regular clothes, while Laura was getting the third bedroom ready for Ross. As she was bringing in the extra blankets and pillows she heard a knock at the door.

Ross was here.
