Chapter 8:

Riley and Lucas had just gotten by the pool when Riley received a call from Maya.

"Hello?" "Hey, are you alone? I think I may have messed up." Lucas looked at Riley as she got up and walked indoors. "What happened, Maya?" "I kissed Zay…in front of Josh." Oh no, Riley thought. "I was just trying to make Josh see that if he doesn't hurry up, he'll be without me for good."

"What did Zay say?" "He's confused, but knows where I stand as far our relationship goes. He knows my heart belongs to Josh." "Well, Prom is this Saturday, so maybe something will happen before then." "I sure hope so, Riles. Josh seemed pissed." "I would be too! He did confess his feelings to you and you told him to prove it without spending any time with him."

Maya grunted. "You're being impatient Maya, give him time." "Whatever you say Riley." Riley laughed. "Good bye Maya."

Riley hung up and walked back outside where Lucas was already shirtless. "I can get used that view." Lucas looked up from where he had tossed his shirt with a smile on his face. "Who was that on the phone?" "Maya. She kissed Zay in front of Josh and is afraid she screwed things up."

Lucas was shocked. "She kissed Zay?" "Yea, but according to her, Zay knows full and well that her heart is with Josh." "Zay does know that, his heart is with Vanessa but that's still a big move on Maya's part." Riley shrugged her shoulders.

"It'll sort itself out in the end. I'll be there for Maya and Josh. I'm just not going to get brought into the middle of it. I'll be there for the end result."

Riley started to take her shirt and shorts off leaving her in her purple polka dotted bra and underwear. Lucas couldn't look away. "Quit staring Lucas, it's nothing different from being in a swimsuit." Lucas laughed. Riley jumped into the pool, splashing Lucas. "Hey!" Riley rose from the water. "What?" "You got me wet!" Lucas finished shucking his jeans off after a little bit of struggle and dove in after her in his black boxers. Riley squealed and tried to swim away.

Lucas was too fast though and quickly caught up with her. "I'm not letting you go until you apologize." Lucas had her in his arms and she was squirming. Riley laughing, "It was an accident! Let me go!"

Lucas began to tickle Riley. Riley dove under as soon as she could and swam away. She come up for air and Lucas was on his way too her.

She got out of the water and went to relax in one of the arm chairs. Lucas came over and sat down beside her. "Are you ready for prom, Riley?" Riley laughed.

"I'm a girl, I've been ready for prom." "What color is your dress so I know what corsage to get?" "Just get a white wrist corsage." "Okay."

Lucas wanted Riley so bad, but he knew this wasn't time.

Riley received a call on her phone. It was her dad. "Hey Riley, are you coming home for dinner? We're having fettucine alfredo." Riley smiled

. "I'll be home soon dad. Give me an hour ok?" "Alright sweetness." Riley hung up. Lucas looked at Riley.

"Gotta go soon, huh?" "Yea, I had a great time though." "I did too." Lucas handed Riley a towel. "C'mon, you gave your dad an hour, let's get your clothes in the washer and dryer." "Lucas, what am I going to wear?"

Lucas looked at Riley with a twinkle in his eye and a smirk. "Who said you were going to be wearing anything?" Riley snowballed her towel at Lucas as they walked inside. Since they've gotten closer, Lucas has been a lot more open and playful. "I was going to give you some of my clothes to use until yours were dry."

She laughed. "Why didn't you just say so?" "I wanted to see your reaction, unfortunately it ended up with a damp towel at my head." She laughed again. Lucas went upstairs and looked for a large t-shirt and some shorts. She had a tiny waist.

"I don't think my shorts are going to even come close to fitting her." Lucas muttered to himself. "Maybe a t-shirt will be fine…" Lucas came downstairs and handed Riley a t-shirt. "My shorts wouldn't fit you, but I figured you could wear the t-shirt like a dress."

Riley smiled. "It'll be fine, this will do." Riley made her way into the bathroom and began to take her undergarments off. She knew her and Lucas weren't having sex yet, but she couldn't help but look down and feel a bit insecure.

She knew of self-grooming, so her underwear didn't show any hair, however maybe she should groom a bit more? She overheard some of the girls in school quietly gossiping about being completely shaved and that guys went crazy over it. It was at this time, that Lucas decided to knock on the door.

"Riley, are you okay in there?" Riley jumped and squeaked out, "Yea, sorry, got lost in thought!" Riley quickly slid Lucas' shirt over her body and was glad it fit perfectly to cover everything. Riley opened the door as she was adjusting her hair, only to run right into Lucas.

"Lucas! What're you doing standing right outside the door?" Lucas held her waist to keep her from falling backwards.

"I need your clothes to throw them in. You look great in my shirt by the way."

"Mhmm." Riley handed Lucas her clothes and made her way into the kitchen. Lucas looked back at Riley and scoped her out before making his way to the laundry room. He through his and her clothes in, and started the washer.

Riley was sitting down at the table, playing on her phone. "Are you thirsty?" Riley looked up at Lucas. "Sure, do you have coke?"

"As a matter of fact, we do." Lucas opened the fridge and pulled out a can and handed it to her. "So, what were you thinking about when you were lost in your thoughts?"

Riley looked up sharply, her face going slightly red. "I was thinking about Prom."

She said it way too fast though and Lucas could tell when she was lying.

"Riley, I know you. What were you really thinking about?" "It was fully a lie, I was thinking about Prom." "Uh-huh. What else about Prom?" Lucas' green eyes probed into Riley's brown ones.

Riley looked down and blushed. "I need to discuss it with Maya, it's reserved for girl talk…" "Okay Riley. I'll leave it be." "Thank you." "However! I'm taking this as payment." Lucas leaned in for a kiss.

Riley kissed him back. The kiss got deeper as Lucas came closer to Riley as she was sitting down. He was between her legs and she was in nothing else but his t-shirt.

They were in a full out make-out session when the washer buzzer went off. "UGGGHHH!" Lucas stormed off and went to the washer to change the clothes over.

Riley laughed when he came back. He was pouting. "We always seem to be interrupted somehow." "You're telling me." Lucas sat down and put his head on the table. Riley reached over and started stroking the back of his head.

He sat up and the two started conversing on what songs they were hoping to hear at Prom. The dryer went off and Lucas came back out with Riley's bra and underwear. "Here you go."

Riley grabbed her undergarments and clothes and went into the bathroom. When she came out from the bathroom, Lucas had her backpack ready with his keys in his hands.

"I want to get you home sooner rather than later, your dad is still my teacher." Riley laughed.

Riley kissed Lucas goodbye and got out. She ate dinner and went up to her room. She was laying on her bed when Maya came in through the window.

"Good, I was hoping you'd come. I know you want to talk about what happened with you and Zay, but I wanted to let you know I had something I wanted to talk about too." Maya sat down and grabbed one of Riley's pillows and snuggled it closer to her.

"Riles, I don't know why I kissed Zay, I freaked out. I wanted to show Josh that I'm not playing games." Maya dropped her head into the pillow. "Maya, now it looks like you are playing games." Maya groaned into the pillow. "Regardless of that, I believe things will turn around. Though you are normally reckless, this was a bit much for you." Maya looked at Riley.

"I know! How do I fix it?" "This is just going to have to solve itself. Have you spoken to Zay about this? How is he feeling about it?" Maya looked down and to the side. "I don't know." "I want you to text Zay, right now. Make sure you didn't ruin anything." Maya gave Riley a pouty face. "Maya." Riley warned Maya cautiously. Maya picked up her phone and texted Zay.

Maya – Hey, wanted to say sorry for earlier today.

While they waited for Zay to reply, Riley went into her problems. "So, you know how I have the lingerie?" Riley hushed the lingerie, she didn't want someone to be walking past her door and over hear. "Yea, what about it?" Riley blushed.

"Well, I'm not sure when it'll be used or anything, but do you…uh…self-groom?" Maya looked at Riley stunned. She never thought she'd be having this conversation with her. Maya's phone went off.

CHING

Zay – U took it a lil far blondie.

Maya – I know, I'm sorry, it won't happen again. Are we still good for prom?

Maya looked back at Riley. "As far as self-grooming, I say go for it. I see nothing wrong with it. Besides, you want to shock Lucas, don't you?" "O-of course." "Then do it! You wouldn't have asked it in the first place if you didn't want too."

CHING

Zay – Yea, I suppose we r.

Maya breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank goodness." Riley looked at her relieved. "Good, now no more stupid stunts." "I know."

"Good now let's go to bed." Maya hugged Riley. "Good night, Riles." "Good night Maya."

Maya climbed out the window and headed home. Riley shut her window and climbed into bed. Looking at her phone, she texted Lucas.

Riley – Thank you for understanding, Maya helped me with my girl talk.

Lucas – I'm glad it worked out for you then.

Riley - I just texted to let you know, good night Lucas.

Lucas – Good night Riley.

Riley smiled and got comfortable in her bed.

Morning came way too soon. Riley groaned and rolled over. She then suddenly sat up. She ran into the bathroom.

-Maya-

Maya was brushing her hair and then threw it up into a ponytail. She grabbed her bag and made her way to school. When she got to school, Riley was at her locker with her head sitting against it.

"Riley, what's wrong?" Riley looked over. "I started my period." "The week of prom?" "Yeeeessssssss" Riley whined. Lucas and Zay came along. "Yo, what's wrong with her?" Riley covered her face in her hands. "Uh, Riley's going through some…girl issues." She groaned. "MAAAAYYYAAAAA!" "That's my cue to take Dorothy out of here." Maya grabbed Riley around the shoulders and led her away.

Lucas looked at Zay. "What is that suppose to mean?" "Well, I think it means mother nature visited Riley." "Huh?" "Lucas, really? Riley's period came." Lucas blanked out. "What…" "Her period man, you know, that thing that comes once a month? Tell her she's not pregnant, she's a woman." "Really Zay? I knew all that." "Then why'd you ask, what?" "You're oblivious."

Zay and Lucas made their way to class.

After class, Riley and Maya were back in front of Maya's locker. "Riley, what are you going to do?" "I don't know. Wait for it to finish it's course?" Maya shrugged her shoulders. "I guess that's the only thing you can do."

Later on that evening, Riley got the shower and went to sit by the bay window. Lucas came to the window much to Riley's surprise.

"Listen Riley, I know we haven't spoken much today. I understand what's going on right now, and don't worry, nothing is going to ruin Prom. We'll go and have an exciting time dancing. I'll bring you home and we still have the weekend to enjoy."

Riley looked at Lucas. "Ok. I trust you. I don't think anything bad will happen." Lucas kissed Riley on the nose. "I promise, nothing bad will happen." Riley smiled. The door barged open. Cory was there with his finger pointed at Lucas. "BOY!" Topanga followed in shortly after him. "Hey Lucas." "Hi Mrs. Matthews." "BOY!" The group continued to ignore Cory. "What cha doin' here, Lucas?" "I was just making sure Riley was okay. She was upset at school today."

Topanga smiled. "Thank you for looking out for her, but it's late. Get home?" "Yes, Mrs. Matthews." "BOY!"

Lucas made his way out the window. "I'm sorry you had a bad day at school honey." "Mom, can you stay behind, I wanna talk to you." Topanga looked back at her husband and made her way over to Riley. She looked pointedly at Cory. "Got it Honey!" Cory ran out of the room.

"Mom, can we get me another prom dress, I want to go with something a little different." "Okay sweetie. We'll go Thursday." Riley hugged her mom. Topanga left her daughter's room.

Lucas reappeared when the bedroom door shut. "Lucas?" "Shh, I just wanted a kiss, then I'll be on my way." Lucas leaned into the window and kissed Riley. "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" "Okay." Lucas left and a Hershey's bar was laying on the seat. Riley smiled.

"Thank you, Lucas." She spoke into the night air.
