Chapter 9

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN RIKER AND LAURA ARE TOGETHER!" Ross screamed. He was pissed. Beyond pissed actually.

"Yo Ross there is no reason for you to yell and especially at mom. She was just telling you what's up. And I personally think it is awesome Riker found someone like Laura." Rocky said.

Ross felt like he was ill. His brother was fucking his best friend. The same one were Ross had feelings for. How wrong was that?

"Thanks Rocky for sticking up for me. Now Ross young man you need to calm down. I don't see how you can have a problem with Riker and Laura. I find them to be a terrific couple. Why can't you be happy for them?"

"Because mom! It's gross! He is my brother and she is my best friend! We work together how unprofessional is it to start sleeping with your costars relatives?"

Riker was pissed; he came through those doors at lightning speed. Rocky saw the look on Rikers face and he moved out of the way. Ross is so going to get his ass kicked.

"Don't you ever say anything like that about Laura ever again you got me Ross? She didn't do anything wrong and neither did I okay?" Riker said. He was seething. He would not let anyone say anything bad about Laura. Not even his own brother.

"How can you say that? You are having Sex with My best friend! Who I want to say is underage! You know every time you bang her it is legally called rape you know that you child molester." Ross sneered.

Riker growled. He actually growled. His fist met Ross's face in a microsecond. Sending Ross back to the floor. Rocky grabbed Riker before he could do anymore damage.

"Rocky let me go NOW!" Riker roared.

"Look Ross is an ass! But you need to calm down, this isn't want anyone needs right now."

"Riker, Rocky is right." Stormie said. She went over to Ross got him up, then proceeded to slap him across the face.

"OWWWW" Ross cried out.

"You young man better get your crap together! You apologies to Laura and your brother right now!"

"But Mom!"

" NOW!"

Ross looked over to Riker, If it wasn't for Rocky, Ross would be pretty much dead. And the look on Laura's face was what hurt the most. She hasn't said anything. But the tears on her face said something much worse than words could ever say. As he was about to say something Laura ran out. Riker sending one more death glare to Ross took off after her.

"Man Ross You is such a prick! Why can't you be happy for them? Huh? Is it because you have feelings for Laura?" Rocky said. He was pissed himself actually. Laura has bend over backwards for all of them. She didn't deserve to be treated that way in her own home.

Ross was quiet.

"Because if it is, that is some crazy coming from someone who had sex with someone without any protection and got her Pregnant. You really going to be an ass about them being in love when you don't have any claim on Laura what so ever?"

"She's MY costar!?"

"Well she's HIS girlfriend. And honestly, Riker makes her really happy. If you cared for her at all you would be happy for her."

"I mean I can't believe you guys are all okay with this! He's twenty and she's seventeen!"

"Well your seventeen and got a sixteen year old knocked up should you really go around and brag about how you think you're the better one? When we all know that is a joke."

'Rocky..." Stormie warned.

"Look Mom, I'm sorry but he has got to hear this. She loves him man, I live here and just to see the looks that she gives him. It actually hurts to look at, but in a good way. It inspires me to want something like that one day. And Riker has given everything he has to us; can you please be happy that he has something that makes his happy?'

Ross was once again quiet.

"Look I am sorry you are hurt, you're my brother and I love you. But you didn't make a move on Laura or said you were even interested. I am pretty sure if you had, Riker wouldn't have made his. But you didn't and he did. Leave them alone. Let them be happy."

Ross hanged his head down.

"Come on Ross, Let's grab your things. I will find something else for you, since obviously you blown any chance on staying here." Stormie said.

"But mom I want to stay here!"

"Do you obviously think Laura or Riker will let you stay after how you treated them and I thought I couldn't get any more disappointed in you? You sure proved me wrong."

Ross started to cry at that. He loved his mother a lot and to hear that he disappointed her even though he knew it was true, to hear her say it was brutal.

"Look let's leave Riker and Laura alone for a bit and to calm down. And we can see if you can still stay here.

Riker found Laura out by their spot on the beach. He shoulders were shaking. The sight broke his heart. He never wanted to see Laura cry. Man if Rocky didn't hold him back, Ross would be dead. And at this point in time, Riker really didn't care. He knew Ross was selfish; it was what Ross wanted on Ross time. And for the most part Riker let it slide because he was his brother, but not now. Not when it made Laura cry. Riker walked up behind Laura and wrapped his arms around her.

Laura felt Riker wrap his arms around her, the tears came even faster. This is what she wanted to avoid. She didn't want to be the one to cause friction in his family.

"Laura it's going to be okay." Riker whispered in her ear. She knows he means well but how can he possibly know that?

"Riker how do you know that? I mean you attacked your brother because he was pissed I was dating you. That was the last thing I wanted."

Riker sighed.

"Look I know you didn't want it to happen and I didn't either. But Ross has no room to be pissed about this. We love each other, we didn't do anything wrong. It wasn't like you and Ross was dating and you cheated on him with me. We fell in love and he needs to deal with that. I am not going to let anyone talk bad about you ever. Not even my family. Ross is going to have to accept this, us if he wants to be a part of my life. I rather have you in my life then to have Ross in mine if it meant not having you."

Laura smiled. Riker was really sweet and she knew he meant that. But did she really want to be the reason why he is estranged from his brother.

"Riker..."

"No Listen Laura, Answer this Do you Love me?"

"Of course I do! How can you even ask me that?"

Riker said" Well then you have to trust me on this, we aren't going to break up for the sake of my relationship with Ross. I know you were thinking that and I want to be the one to let you know that wasn't going to be an option okay? We are going to stay together and we will get through this. Ross will learn to accept us in time."

Laura just nodded. She leaned even closer into him, Riker leaned his head on her shoulder as they continued to look at the moonlight lit up the ocean.

'What are we going to do? Ross is going to be living with us."

"Do you honestly think I am going to let Ross still stay with us after he disrespected you in our home?" Riker asked shocked.

Laura sighed. "I know you want to protect me and I love you for that, but where else is he going to go? Your father kicked him out and he has no were else to stay. Calum is in Canada, Raini isn't back yet, plus her house is full. He's your brother we can't let him sleep out on the streets."

Riker just sighed. Laura was definitely the bigger person here; He really didn't care if Ross had to sleep underneath a bridge.

"Baby, you are amazing. I love you. But are you sure you still want him to stay?" Riker asked.

"I do. That Ross that is in there isn't Our Ross. He is upset to learn that I am dating his brother. Now don't get me wrong either, if he continues to act that way I give you full permission to beat his ass okay?"

Riker just smirked. "Thanks."

"I guess we should go back. Your mother and Rocky must be worried."

Riker shook his head. "Let's not go back tonight. I just want to be with you alone, and with Rocky and Ross there we won't be getting as much personal time as before. Let's go and check into a hotel tonight, I just want it to be us tonight, then tomorrow we can come back and deal with reality okay? I just want a chance to romance you tonight. You deserve it for putting up with this bunch."

Laura sighed. Riker was amazing. "Okay, but then we have to come back in the morning."

"Understood. Let me contact my mother and let her know our plans, and to let her know Ross is still welcomed to stay."

"I love you Riker."

"I love you too baby."

Stormie got off the phone with Riker. Those two were so amazing. She knew that those two had what it took to be forever. Laura is amazing strong young woman for still allowing Ross to stay after what he done. Stormie walked back in to the living room were Rocky and Ross was at.

"Okay guys that was Riker, He and Laura are going to be staying at a hotel tonight."

"WHAT?" Ross asked

Stormie just glared at Ross. That shut him up.

"Young man, they are in love and they want to be together, there is nothing wrong with that. You should be grateful to them as they are still letting you stay here."

That surprised Ross. But that was probably due to Laura, She was always been a kind and understanding person. Ross did feel bad, because he honestly didn't want to hurt her. Riker was probably foaming at the mouth at the idea of throwing him out on his rear. Ross still couldn't believe that everyone is okay at Riker molesting Laura; don't they find the idea a bit sick? But he isn't going to press his luck with his mother; otherwise he will get another slap.

Rocky just shook his head. That was cool of Laura to still let Ross stay with them. Rocky is glad to, not because Ross is kept from sleeping some were on the streets. But it will give Rocky a chance to keep an eye on his younger brother. Ross wasn't use to not getting what he wanted. Rocky found it best to keep an eye on him.

Ross noticed Rocky staring at him. He just rolled his eyes. Rocky didn't know about the connection between him and Laura. Riker got in the middle of that. Talk about being rude. Ross couldn't phantom on how Riker could stab him in the back like that. But Ross will bide his time and as soon as Laura realizes what a jerk Riker is, then he will be right there to comfort her.

"You are right mom. Riker and Laura are amazing to let me stay here. I was just hurt at first that they felt like they had to keep this from me. Once they get back I will apologize and I will do better. I promise."

"That's my boy. Now will you two behave when I leave?"

Rocky and Ross just looked at each other and then back to their mother.

"Yes." They both said.

Stormie smiled. "Okay did you guys want to go to dinner before I go home?"

"Sure." They both said. Stormie smiled and grabbed her things and walked out to her car. Leaving Rocky and Ross behind. As Ross was about to follow their mother, Rocky stopped him.

"Ross what are you up to?"

Ross just glanced at his brother innocently. "Nothing Rocky, I have no clue you're talking about."

Rocky just glared. Ross was up to something.

"Ross I know you, you are up to something and it has to do with Riker and Laura."

Ross rolled his eyes. "That is crazy."

"I know you Ross; you are upset about Riker and Laura getting together. I will tell you this once; I will not let you do anything to break them up. You got me little brother?"

Ross just glared. Then his facial expression changed, he chuckled.

"Rocky like I have anything planned. You are being paranoid. Now let's go out to dinner with our mother before coming home. We have to get the apartment into shape when our roomies come home tomorrow." Ross said as he walked out the door. Leaving Rocky with a very uneasy feeling.

Ross was up to something, and he had a feeling it will be destructive to Riker and Laura.
