A/N:I AM BACK! Updates will STILL come every Fridays. Don't think for a second that I haven't been writing in these two weeks because I have. You have no idea, I managed to write more than six chapters. Now, that might not seem like much to you, but these happen to be my favorite chapters in the story so far. If you're a Guest who plans on dropping a review please give yourselves a username so I can acknowledge it in the next chapter. And I am so excited to announce that this is THE FIRST CHAPTER for 2017. And it's also Friday the 13th, scary movie marathon is all I can think of.
Previously on Dangerous Woman:
["Ready to make a bad boy pay?"
They hugged for seconds before Maya broke down once again. "Thank you."
"For?"
"Staying," she answered. "You're the best friend anyone can possibly ask for and I don't deserve you."
Riley shook her head, "You of all people do."

The two shopped and bought a whole bunch of clothes. Maya got a haircut because she wanted to look different and Riley didn't see anything wrong with that. She'd never been dumped because she'd never been in a relationship; and from the looks of it, she'd want to change too.

"How do I make him notice me?"
The blonde smirked.
"What?"
"I know how."
"How?"
"You sing."

A glass runway was placed directly over the large pool granting people access to walking on it and swim under it. The runway connected to the stage as Riley warily made her way towards it. A man in a thick jacket and gray hoodie looked at her and smirked, "Song proposal?"
"Something like that," she nodded. "There's this guy I like, and I want him to notice me...I was hoping I could sing...?"
"That's some lucky dude. What song will it be, sugar?"
Riley turned back to Maya and nodded. She smiled back giving her the thumbs up.
Here's goes nothing.

Riley strictly made her way towards the aplenty group who surprisingly wasn't far from where she was. Tyler stood there with his friends, beside him was Lucas sending a smirk in her direction. Their eyes had met for a brief second before she turned to look at Tyler, pressing her body on him. Her back was now facing his chest as she made the 'moaning' notes, she smiled when she felt his hands gently fall on her hips.

"You gonna tell me your name or leave me gaping?"
"Would it matter?" she asked.
"It'd help."
"In that case...Riley."
Tyler gently grasped her hand, placing a light kiss on her knuckles, glancing up at her with his brown eyes. "Tyler."
And now we have their attention.
[][][][][][]
Riley's back faced Tyler's chest for the tenth time that night as they mindlessly danced to the music.
Lucas contemplated over their every move, not understanding why he was slightly angry to see her with him. A blonde with a familiar voice roused him from his intellectual thoughts and he turned to her so their eyes could meet.
"You jealous?"
He furrowed his eyebrows in bewilderment, "Have we met before?"
"Do you watch porn?" she questioned.
"As a matter of fact, I do."
"I'm Chloe," Maya lied. "And I'm not a porn star."

"Sexy, isn't it?" he said caging her in with his hand, his head leaning down so their eyes can meet. Her brunette hair was down in gorgeous waves, scented with her conditioner that nearly drove him crazy. His eyes glistered with desire when their eyes congregated, her lips only inches away from his.
"Please," her voice was soft and quiet. "The only thing sexy about this is the condom wrapper on the floor."
He laughed, "Maybe it's mine."
Riley had to admit the way he said it; was hot. His eyes practically melted her existence.
"I doubt it. The condom's a large," she upbraided. "You're nowhere near there."
"Let's find out," his hands went to his zipper, but Riley stopped him.

He leaned in to kiss her but just then Riley used her knee to get him off her. She smiled as he grabbed himself in pain. "It's cute you think every girl wants you. Let this...," she grabbed the condom wrapper and placed it on his chest, "show you otherwise."
And just like that, Riley left him.
Feeling like a complete badass.

Riley turned back to see him walk inside, seeming too amused. "And that, ladies and gents, is how you break up with an ex."
"What'd she do? Reject your dick appointment?" Riley responded in a sarcastic temper, laced with utter annoyance.
Lucas opened the expensive Samsung refrigerator and contemplated on orange juice or apple juice, "Would that be a bad thing?"
She rolled her eyes.
"That'd be the third one this month," Tyler informed.
"Yep," Lucas affirmed, taking pride in himself.
"It's the third-" Riley gasped dramatically.
"Who was the first?" Maya probed
Lucas hummed in response trying to remember the girl's name.
"You can't be serious..." Riley said impatiently, realizing it could be Maya.
"It was Maya, Lucas. Her name was Maya," Tyler answered. Riley noticed his change of tone.
[][][][][][]
"C'mon Riley..." he looked at her but Riley remained confused. "A kiss."
From the corner of her eye, Riley noticed Lucas. She kept her gaze on Tyler, mentally smiling. "If you throw another party like this...we'll see."
She winked while she walked away, swinging her hips more than usual; knowing all to well his gaze went down to her ass.]

Dangerous Woman

The entire ride home Maya lingered quietly. Riley noticed this and decided to remain silent for the time being, but something in her had to know why Maya was acting this way.
Maya parked her car in the driveway and without delay, got up and slammed her door shut. Riley was barely unbuckling herself when she could practically feel Maya roll her eyes at her.
With her brows channeled, Riley got out the car and into their apartment.
"Ok, what is your problem?" she questioned.
"My problem?"
"Yes, your problem. Are you mad at me or something?"
She took off her heels and sauntered towards their room, Riley trailing behind.
"Well...?"
Maya ignored Riley and opened her dresser, contemplating over sweats or joggers for the day.
"Maya...?"
"You spent the whole entire night with Tyler!"
"That's what you're mad about?"
"That's what I'm mad about," she confirmed immediately.
"Care to explain...?"
She scoffed, "You not knowing says a lot."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means that you wasted a perfectly good night with Tyler instead of Lucas."
"That's what we wanted."
"That's what you wanted!" Maya clarified. "I required you to flirt with Lucas, to get under his belt and manipulate him into thinking you like him but apparently that's too much for you," she emphasized the last part.
"You specifically told me to make him jealous."
"And did you?"
"Yes. I did. He dragged me into a closet, told me he liked me and practically tried to have sex with me..."
"Congratulations, he's probably the first-"
"Stop being so bitchy. You're the one who needs this!"
Maya took three steps towards Riley. "Lucas is an asshole who lies to get what he wants. He always wins. Right now, all he wants from you is sex. If you give it to him, he'll drop you faster than your ex did you." Riley's eyes didn't meet hers, "If you don't want to do this anymore then fine. Quit and go home." Maya stepped back after realizing she had scared Riley and with a more sincere tone, she said: "You'd only be disappointing me and the other girls he's broken."

Maya stepped out of her bathroom and into her room. She was surprised to see Riley standing there waiting for her, she crossed her hands and raised a brow.
"You were right," Riley conceded. "I need to pay more attention to Lucas but at the same time, make myself hard to get."
Maya ran a hand through her smooth hair and set her spare towel down on the stand next to her, "I was thinking and I came to a conclusion. You shouldn't do this for me."
Riley furrowed her brows.
"I want you to do this for the girls who didn't know were being played. Do this for the girls who cried for him, and especially for the girls who gave him a million reasons to stay."
Riley could tell Maya was hurting. And she couldn't blame her.
It angered her that someone like Maya would open her heart to someone and end up broken. This was Maya's chance at love but just like every other modern fairy tale out there, it didn't end well.
"We'll make him pay," Riley told Maya. "We'll do it together."

"Favorite soda?" Maya questioned Riley as they prepped for their seducing scheme. Riley told Maya and made it clear that she wanted Lucas to pay for everything he had done. And to make that happen she would have to know everything about the Lucas Friar, this seemed to be the only way to do so.
"Dr Pepper," Riley answered. "His favorite soda is Dr Pepper."
"Favorite gum?"
"5 gum. Peppermint."
"Burger or pizza?"
"Pizza."
"Blonde or brunette?"
"Doesn't matter."
"Oral or anal?"
Riley furrowed her eyebrows and stared at Maya, "What?"
"Sorry. Got carried away. Umm...favorite sport?"
"Football."
Maya nodded. "When he kisses you, do you A, kiss back, B, twerk on him, C, leave him hanging, or D, ride him?"
"Maya. What are with these questions?"
"Wrong!" Maya informed.
"Okay. C, leave him hanging."
"Boobs or ass?"
Normally, after hearing the type of questions prior to this one, Riley wouldn't have answered. But since this question was in her study guide - falling under the "What does he look for in a girl" category - Riley had to answer.
"Ass."
"Good," Maya applauded. "You're doing good."
Riley rose from her spot after hearing her phone vibrate. She walked towards her phone and once she turned it on she arched a brow. "Hate me or not for saying this but, I think Lucas has a horrible taste in woman."
"Why?"
She handed Maya the phone and waited for her reaction, "He's downsized."
Riley nodded in agreement. "This girl is uuuuuuglllyyy."
Maya laughed and took the phone from her, "Oh my God, she looks like she's about to purge. How'd you get the picture?"
She hummed in response and slid the phone into her back pocket.
"Well...?"
"He may or may not have my number."
"Why would he have it?"
Riley sighed, "Because I gave it to Tyler. And Lucas saw it."
"You gave Tyler your number?" she asked rather hurt.
"This happened before we had our talk. My priority is Lucas - not Tyler."
As she walked out of her room, Maya questioned why Lucas would send Riley a picture of another girl.
She dismissed the thought and followed the brunette's lead.

Riley and Maya sat at the kitchen table eating something Maya had made. She'd never tried Hot Pockets before and she will never again.
"C'mon. How do you not like them?" Maya questioned her.
"Because they don't taste good. Where is your mom anyway, shouldn't she be here feeding you?"
"She's been working. I texted her this morning and she told me she should be home tomorrow morning."
Riley felt her phone vibrate in her pocket and when she opened it, the name that came to view confused her.
It wasn't Tyler nor Lucas. It was Sorrell - her ex.
"Hello?" she answered with a quiver.
"Riley. Hey."
"Hi."
"I was just calling to make sure you were okay."
"I'm fine."
"Are you sure? You don't need anything?"
Riley placed a hand on her forehead, "You can't be doing this anymore..."
"I just needed to hear your voice. You haven't been texting me back and you seemed upset the last time we spoke."
"That was over a month ago."
"So you're well?"
"I'm great," Riley said, hoping he would realize she was doing so much better without him.
"It was great speaking with you. Maybe we can hang out sometime?"
"Yeah. Sometime. But that's gonna have to wait, I'm in New York."
"For?"
"I'm visiting a friend. Hey listen, I have to go. I'm sorry."
"Bye," he muttered.
She ended the call shortly after.
"Who was that?"
"Sorrell."
"Really? What did he want?"
"What does every guy want...?" Riley questioned. "But I'm sure his only concern was to see if I wasn't with someone he doesn't like."
"What if he's not over you?" Maya questioned, her eyes growing wide. Riley found it hard to not laugh at the sight of her friend.
"I wouldn't blame him. I mean, I am Riley Matthews."
"And don't you forget it," she said while snapping her fingers in a sassy manner.

A/N: Important stuff was revealed in this chapter. Let me know what you think by dropping a review. I also want to take this time to talk about GMW. I am not happy. They canceled it! GMW is the most successful show on the market right now and Disney decides to cancel it? I'm really disappointed. Please if you have more information as to why it was canceled please let me know. And to lighten things up, I have officially finished planning the whole story from this chapter to the end of the story. Also, I don't wanna seem offensive or be that strict writer, but I need you guys to choose a song for me. The options are Burst Your Windows by Jazmine Sullivan or Leave Me Lonely by Ariana Grande. Don't decide on which song you want by what the songs are trying to say, choose the one that sounds better in general. I'll only post the next chapter if y'all vote. I'm sorry, but this is so important. Helps in the future chapters.
