AN: Thank you guys for all the amazing reviews for this story. It means a lot and as I finished Face to Face I have more time to crank this story out. This story has quickly became a favorite of mine to write, as I have become a HUGE Riker/Laura shipper. So expect more Riaura goodness.

Chapter 18

The night before was amazing. After Riker and Laura got dressed, he went back inside the apartment to grab his keys and he and Laura just cruised around town. Wasn't really that big of a romantic thing you see in the movies, but to Laura it was beyond romantic. To her there was just something sexy being close to the one you love and just talking. They ended up at some diner that Riker found a while ago. It was small but it was very quaint. They ordered waffles and orange juice. And they had talked for hours. She never wanted the night to end. They came home and ended up making love as it had been a while for them. They way Riker was with her made her feel very special. They feel asleep in each other's arms.

Laura woke up to the smell of bacon and coffee. She opened her eyes to find Riker staring at her.

"Good Morning sleepyhead." Riker said.

"Good Morning to you too. What do we have here?" Laura asked.

"Well we have breakfast in bed. We have pancakes, bacon and sausage and fresh squeezed Orange juice." Riker answered.

"Aw what's the occasion?"

Riker rolled his eyes. "Does there have to be an occasion?"

"No, it's sweet thank you." Laura said as she placed a small kiss on his cheek. Obviously Riker was disappointed.

"That is all that I am getting? I slaved over a hot stove and I just get a peck?"

Laura laughed.

'Well wait till I brush my teeth, I have morning breath babe and I don't want to kiss you until I am fresh and minty."

Riker just laughed. "Well hurry up I want my good morning kiss."

Laura rolled her eyes.

" Well someone is becoming pushy."

" You know you love me."

" I do."

Laura started to eat as Riker went to get ready for the day. As she finished she took the dishes to the sink that is where she ran into Rocky.

" Good Morning Rocky. How did you sleep?"

" Good and you? Did you and Riker have fun last night?"

Laura blushed.

Rocky just laughed.

" How did you know?"

" Well after I woke up last night I noticed that the two of you were gone, so I figured that you guys did something, and I am afraid to even picture it because I am sure it involved a lot of moaning."

" Rocky." She screeched, the blush reaching all the way to her ears.

Rocky again just laughed.

" Relax, I am happy for you guys, I kid. You guys haven't really had much time alone since we moved in. Speaking of that I need to ask you something."

Laura asked ' What is it?"

" Do you want me and Ross to leave? I mean we can start looking for our own place, or we could move back home. But to be honest I rather find my own place then to do that."

Laura rolled her eyes.

" Were did you get that idea? Of course I love having you guys here, it feels like we are our own family you know? You guys are more than welcome to stay. I would be sad if you left."

" Well I am sure Riker is ready for us to move out so he can be alone with you."

Laura again rolled her eyes. " Riker doesn't want you to move out, he loves having you guys here. We discussed this last night actually. He and I will have to find time to spend together alone, but that doesn't mean we want you guys to leave."

" Okay I am just making sure." Rocky said. To be honest with himself, Rocky was sure it would be better for him to move out. So he wouldn't have to be around Laura all the time so he can try and get over these feelings. That is the rational part of his heart saying. But he really didn't want to leave. He loved living here, the apartment was amazing and he loved living so close to the beach and the water. And despite the inconvenient feelings he has for her, Laura is one of his best friends, and he loves having her as a roommate. If he had to choose to either have her as a girlfriend and risk losing the friendship if they ever broke up, or be just friends and have her always in his life, he would choose the latter.

"So you better get that ridiculous idea out of your head right now. You and Ross belong here with me and Riker. So no more talk of this foolish idea okay?" Laura said.

Rocky rolled his eyes. But he was glad that Laura wanted him to stay.

" Thanks Laura, so do you have any plans today?"

" I am actually going to go meet Raini today since she just got back into town, and nothing really else since it probably will be an all-day thing. And you?"

" Nothing much except surf and then work later."

" How fun."

" You know it." Rocky said as he made his way to his room to get ready passing Piker on the way.

" Everything Okay?" Riker asked.

" Why wouldn't it?" Laura asked

" I was just making sure Rocky wasn't still in a pissy mood."

Laura rolled her eyes. " No everything's fine."

Riker placed a kiss on her forehead. " So you got plans with Raini today?"

" Yep, It will probably be all day since I haven't seen her all summer, but we can have some time together after okay?"

" You know it. Plus I have to go to the Glee studios and rehearse, so I will be gone all day too. Maybe we can catch dinner and then a movie night?" Riker asked.

" That sounds perfect." Laura said. She placed a kiss on Riker's cheek and made her way to get ready. As she was she ran into Ross.

" Hey Good Morning. What are you up too?" Ross asked.

" I am on my way to get ready and than I am going to meet Raini." Laura said.

" Oh cool, she's back? I wonder if Calum is." Ross asked.

" Well I hope soon, since we go back next week." Laura said.

" I think I am going to go check to see if Calum is. I really missed them." Ross said.

" I know it will be so good to get back to work. I even missed Garron." Laura and Ross both laughed.

" Well have fun." Ross said.

" You too." Laura answered as she went to go get ready.

A few Hours later Riker was leaving the fox lot. Rehearsal went well. He loved appearing on Glee, it was a fun job. He just wished he was on more and also maybe a line or two wouldn't hurt. But oh well he was blessed. He out a lot sooner then he told Laura so he was just going to go back to the apartment and maybe hit the beach. It was a bit since he went surfing. Maybe he could get Rocky to go surfing with him. It seemed like they haven't really spent the much time together, which was funny since they lived together. He and Rocky had always been close and he would hate to see anything happen that would change that.

Now Riker was no fool, he knew something was up with his brother. And he had a feeling it had to do with Laura. Rocky may not have notice him, but Riker notice a few times were Rocky's gaze on Laura would last a bit longer then a friend should stare at his friend. Not to say Rocky was in love with Laura, but he could tell that Rocky may be developing feelings for her. Which Riker didn't know how to deal.

Did it piss him off to know that rocky may have feelings for his girl? Sure but by the same token, Rocky hasn't made a move on her, and he has shown to respect his relationship with Laura. So Riker couldn't really get upset about it. Feelings happen all the time in-between inconvenient people at times.

And Riker really didn't have any proof that Rocky had any sort of feelings for Laura.

Ugh.

He really is confused. He knows Rocky would never betray him like that. Rocky knows how much Riker loves her. Plus there is not only the guy code, but they have the brother code. Where they wouldn't go chasing after a girl that one of them was in love with.

Now does that make him a hypocrite since Riker chased after Laura himself after coming to the conclusion that Ross may have feelings for her himself. No, because Ross had denied ever having any kind of feelings for her. So Riker made his move. Plus you really couldn't control on who you love. It happened and he wouldn't change it for the world.

Could the same thing be happening again this time with him and Rocky?

Riker thinks it is time that he and Rocky have a talk. Because as much as he loved his brother, He wasn't going to let Rocky come up and take her away from him.

Rocky was thankful that his boss at the surf shop gave him the day off. It gave him a free day just to chill. And that is what he really needed after everything that has been happening. So Rocky made his way home and grabbed his board and was heading to the beach to go surf. As Rocky made his way he noticed Riker pulling in.

Waving to his brother, Rocky made his way to the water. That is when he heard Riker call for him.

" Rocky?"

" What's up bro?"

Riker ran to catch up to him. He was starting to get nervous. What if he was totally wrong about this? And he damaged the relationship between him and Rocky? Was he willing to take that chance?

" Can I talk to you?" Riker asked.

Rocky rolled his eyes.

' Can it wait, I want to hit the waves, it has been a while you know?" Riker nodded. This was crazy his brother wouldn't have any feelings for Laura. Maybe Riker needed to surf to clear his head of this crazy notion Rocky had feelings for his girl.

" Would you mind if I come with? It has been a while for me too?"

' Sure go grab you suit and I will meet you in the water." Rocky then turned and ran into the water. Riker smiled. Yep it was crazy to think what he has been thinking. Riker made his way to the apartment to get changed. He just needed some quality time in the water. Then everything would go back to normal.

Laura really missed Raini. Raini always had a way to get her to laugh like no other.

" This really has been a blast girl, I really missed you." Laura said.

" Aw I missed you too. It was no fun with the family and all the cousins, I was so bored." Raini said.

Laura laughed. " So have you talked to Calum yet?"

Raini blushed.

" That is what I thought, so how is it going with you too?"

" It's good. We are keeping a low profile, we just want to keep it between us for a while you know?"

Laura nodded her head, understanding completely. " Riker and I wanted the same thing. There is just something to be said to having it between no one else besides the ones in the relationship you know."

Raini nodded.

' So how is it going with you two?" Raini asked.

" It's good, really good." Laura blushed.

Raini laughed. " Aw I know that look, man he must be really something special."

" He is, he really is. I love him so much."

" I really am so happy for you. Riker is an amazing guy, he is lucky to have you. Now How is Ross dealing with you dating his brother."

Laura sighed.

" At first he had a problem with it, but now he is cool with it. I honestly just think the whole situation that Maia put him through made him act out in ways that he wouldn't normally would."

Raini rolled her eyes.

" I swear I wish I was here so I could tell off miss Australian Barbie you know. I still can't believe she had the nerve to pull that crap."

" I know me either, and what she tried to do to Rocky? I never wanted to hit someone more than I did her." Laura sneered.

Raini nodded.

" Hey Laura can I ask you something?"

" Sure go ahead."

" Do you have feelings for Rocky?"

Laura was taken aback by the question. " How can you ask me that Raini? You know I love Riker."

" I know you do, but it has been known to happen to be in love with two people at the same time."

Laura rolled her eyes. " No it hasn't and if it has, that is not the case with me. Now why would you suggest I have feelings for Rocky? You know my boyfriend's brother?"

" It's just the way you were talking about Rocky and how Maia made him go through hell. It sounded like you were upset that she went after your boyfriend."

" That is just crazy talk. Rocky is my best friend, that is it. He was there for me when Riker and I were having issues. We got close, but nothing more than friends. I would never betray Riker that way."

" Look Laura, I love you and I didn't mean to upset you okay? I just want you to be happy. Now can you honestly say you don't find anything about Rocky you don't like?"

Laura scoffed. " Of course there are plenty of things I like about Rocky, he is kind funny and he listens to people when they talk. He has a big heart. Some girl would be damn lucky to have him as a boyfriend. But I am not that girl!"

Raini rolled her eyes.

" You sure are protesting a little too much Laura for a girl that says she has no feelings for rocky."

Tears stung Laura's eyes. How could Raini think she would have feelings for rocky?

" Raini, you think I am the kind of girl that would be in love with two guys? You think I am some kind of slut?"

" No, I don't! Look Laura I am so sorry I brought this up, I just wanted to make sure you were with the right guy that would make you happy."

" I am, Rocky is perfect for me!" Laura screamed.

Raini just stood back. " You know what you just said there Laura?"

" Yes I said Riker was perfect for me."

" No, You said Rocky, you said his name, not Riker. Something is going on Laura and you need to figure it out before people get hurt, and that includes you. I am not saying this to be harsh, but it isn't fair to the three of you, you need to decide who you really have feelings for and go with those."

" I love Riker! Raini, why can't you believe me."

" I do, But I also think you have feelings for Rocky as well. Why would you fight so hard for him to get him to stay at your apartment huh? Why would you beg him to stay when he asked if he should move out? You and Riker are in love and in a serious relationship, why are you so desperate to hold on to Rocky there as well. You need to decide who you really want, and let the other one go so he can be happy."

Laura was quiet. What the hell was she going to do?

AN: Uh Oh.. What is Laura going to do? Rocky or Riker? What sounds better Riaura or Rockaura? Let me know and please review.
