A/N: Loving your guys's reaction to what happened. When I was writing these chapters I wanted it to be dramatic. This is what Maya had warned Riley about. Will Riley resume with her plan? Will she hate him for it? Who knows? I re - posted the chapter do to many reasons.

violet1429: Yes, Lucas pushed passed her boundaries and said it was no big a deal. She deserved to be mad. But Lucas was sorry. He learned from his mistake so he shouldn't be hated for it. I see where you're coming from. Riley knows what happened between Maya and Lucas, but she doesn't know why. This chapter will escalate things...for the worst.

naelacy: You're right. This is not good.

amymayy2003: Just like in every other story, Missy only exists to make things worse.

JJ: Those questions will not be answered by me. They will be answered in the story. I don't wanna give to much away...but there is a possibility that Riley might get pregnant. But I'm still deciding if I should take that turn. This story is about to end and I still haven't finished writing this story. I'm taking a break cause God knows I need it. I am a very private person so I won't tell you my age, but I am old enough to be on this site.

Livcan: Well...the truth is revealed in this chapter. And thank you so much for the compliment, hope this chapter doesn't disappoint.

He took his hands away from their grasp and smiled nervously.

"You can tell me, Lucas."

Lucas wiped his hands against his jeans and gulped. It's been two days since Riley has met his mom. And in those two days, he couldn't stop thinking about her. He tried everything, cold showers, football, running, but nothing seemed to work. And the thought of using another girl to distract himself from Riley nearly disturbed him.

He jerked his head signaling the continuation of their walk. Riley followed him and shortly after they were back under the same gazebo they were four nights ago.

"Is it really that bad?" Riley questioned. Lucas was worrying her.

"Nothing bad happened, Riley. I promise."

"Then why can't you tell me. C'mon, you're scaring me."

Lucas inhaled then exhaled. He scratched the back of his head before his eyes met hers. "I like you."

She smiled.

"And it feels like you like me too," his eyes couldn't leave her's. "We've been spending so much time with each other that I look forward to it. I like talking to you, Riley...and I really want you to feel the same way."

Riley decided to open the letter first and once she did, she read aloud: "Please join the Wesley Family on the ninth at seven o'clock for dancing, cocktails, and celebration," the brunette turned to Katy. "It's an invitation."

"Do you know from whom?"

A sudden smile dawned on Riley's features as she remembered Katherine's invite to a ball she had been planning for months.

"Lucas," she answered.

"Okay now open the box. I'm dying to see what's inside."

Riley smiled before she opened it, inside was a gorgeous dress and a nicely sculpted golden necklace.

"Oh my," Katy gasped. "This boy has some outstanding good taste."

Riley smiled and closed the box in a blink of an eye, "You can't tell Maya."

"My lips are sealed - as they have been. But if you plan on going, promise me you'll be careful."

"You like it," her lips fell on his and their kiss quickly became feverish. Lucas' hands led a trail down Riley's back but before they could reach her butt, she slapped his hand and he had to start all over again. He knows her limits, but he purposely crosses them because he likes teasing her.

Riley kisses his neck then leads a soft trail down to his chest. Her kisses reach his waist and Lucas' eyes widen. She stops then looks up at him, smiling. Her lips don't go anywhere further than his waist but her lips lock with his. He smiles and flips her over, doing the exact same thing to her. Only he places his hands on her butt.

His lips settle on her neck and they stay there for a while, only his hands get closer to her stomach and down passed her waistline.

"That's...that's enough-"

His lips silence her but his hands are still free.

"Lucas...stop." She shifts from his grasp and sits upright.

"What's wrong? Too much?"

She nodded.

He moves closer but Riley moves away from him. She comes close to falling off the bed but she remains on her feet.

"Riley-"

"I'm going home."

He stands up and follows after her. "Riley."

She ignores him and picks up her shoes before she exits his room.

Lucas' weight was leaning on Missy the entire time. In a sober state he would've been impressed, but the thought didn't fall on him until after they were at his house.

Missy placed Lucas on the bed but stopped when their lips were centimeters apart.

His eyes met hers and for a second all he saw was Riley. The same brown eyes reflected her scent, her touch, and her warmth. A second later her lips crashed into his and Lucas heavily kissed back.

He hovered over her and kissed even harder. The kiss was unusual, but he didn't really think about it. Instead, he opened his eyes to see his Princess, the woman he was slowly falling in love with.

Only to see someone else.

Realizing who it was, he angrily got off of her, "Missy?"

She chuckled and got off his bed. "Yes, babe?"

Before Lucas could yell or even harvest a thought, Missy had already slipped out her dress.

Dangerous Woman

Riley knocks on Lucas' front door for about two minutes. She stands there waiting for him but he doesn't open the door. She really wanted to see him because they had yet to talk about what happened. She really wanted to see him and be in his embrace, to forgive him and forget. When he didn't open the door, Riley went ahead and opened it.

"Lucas," she called out. She closed the door behind her and looked up towards the upstairs chambers only to be greeted with silence.

"Lucas?" she calls out but stops when she sees a pair of high heels in the middle of the foyer. "Katherine must be home."

She walks up the stairs but again stops at the sight of a black piece of clothing. She crouches down and picks it up, her eyes widen and she sets it down when she sees it's a woman's underwear.

"Lucas?" she calls out once more. Once she reaches the second floor, Riley walks towards his room but this time stops when another article of clothing was set on the ground, just in front of his door.

This time the clothing wasn't hard to acknowledge. It was a bra.

Feeling tears gather in her eyes, Riley sniffles and puts on a serious face.

She opens the door just a bit but then kicks it open for two reasons.

1: so Lucas and whoever this girl is can stop whatever they're doing behind the door and

2: so they can wake the fuck up.

At the sound of the door, Lucas, and Missy sat upright. Lucas rubbed his eyes while Missy smirked.

The sight of his clothes scattered all over the floor and a condom wrapper lying on top his underwear broke her heart. She watched as the girl next to him placed the comforter over her chest and looked at Lucas. "You didn't tell me you had a girlfriend."

Lucas turned to look at Missy then looked at Riley, "This is not at all what it looks like."

"Really?" Riley questions, hurt and rage in her words. "It's not what IT LOOKS LIKE?!"

She enters his room and walks towards his dresser - which was only two steps from the door. When she opens it, she pulls out his clothes and walks out the room. Throwing it down the second story floor. When she turns to walk back in the room, Lucas is there to stop her.

He's dressed in nothing but his boxer briefs. "Riley, please. Let me explain-"

He stopped when her hand connected with his cheek. Breathing, Lucas backed up slowly. When her back turned to him, Lucas followed her down the stairs. "Just give me time to explain this-"

"That you cheated on me? That you slept with another girl just because I didn't want to sleep with you?"

They were now outside his house. Standing in the driveway out in the morning breeze. When Riley turned back to face him, tears had already gathered in her eyes.

"Whatever happened, I can explain. Just please trust me." Lucas winced at the morning sun and raised a hand to block the light. He was hungover and with what he could process, Riley thinks he was cheating on her.

"Trust you? I did trust you. But look at how great that turned out."

Lucas didn't let her leave this time. His hands wrapped around her back firmly in order to hold her. He wanted to scream out his innocence but at the same time, he didn't know what happened between them.

"Riley-"

"Let me go-"

"Let me explain what happened-"

"Stop. You're hurting me-"

"I don't think I did anything with her. I mean I know I didn't sleep with her-"

"Let me go."

Lucas was surprised he could even utter the words coming out his mouth. An intense headache was affecting him greatly all the while he was trying to get Riley to listen to him. "Please-"

"Lucas, let me-"

"JUST LISTEN TO ME!" His words were so loud he couldn't process a thought afterwards, let alone think of what he's going to say next.

Riley stopped struggling. This time she wasn't surprised nor was she scared of his reaction. She noticed how he tried to calm himself down, each breath smelled of beer and other things. Riley raised a brow while he tried to regain his serenity - something Riley never knew he had trouble controlling.

He looked up at her slowly, sadly realizing what he had done. "I'm so-"

"Save it," she cut him off, her voice so firm it broke Lucas's heart. No more worry was left in her, it was all anger.

The last time they were this close to each other, Lucas had kissed her for the first time. But that felt like decades ago. She no longer remembered his touch even though their skin met in various parts. She no longer remembered the color of his eyes even though she was staring at them right now. She no longer remembered his warmth, even though that's all she felt, she no longer knew him in general, even though all she thought about was him, more specifically, his personality.

She swallows her anger but stares deep into his eyes. "You are exactly like your dad. The way you yell, the way you get angry, the way you hold me...pretty soon I'm going to be the one lying on the floor and you're going to be the one with the blood on your fist."

Lucas finally shut down. He couldn't even look at her. His grasp on her loosened and Riley slowly stepped back from him. He wanted to say something but no words came out, all he felt was loneliness. Letting her go didn't feel right, it felt like a goodbye, he tried to look at her and apologize but the moment didn't feel right. Nothing did.

He simply turned around and walked back inside his house. At the same time, Riley watched him go. Now she felt like the guilty one, but she knew all too well they were both to blame. She spun around and ran as fast as her legs could take her, soon enough she was in front of Maya's house. Katy was sitting on the living room couch but paused the TV when Riley walked in.

She saw the tears stream down her face but before she could get up and ask her what was wrong, Riley had already laid down on the couch, with her head resting on Katy's laps.

"What's wrong, baby girl?"

Riley shook her head and cried even more. "I just need a mom right now."

A/N: I'm somewhat impressed by the outcome of this chapter. For a time I continued to check back into this chapter and re-read somethings and all I will say is that I different feelings on this than you guys, but this was the way I wanted it to go. You guys have every right to be mad. But I wanted to end it on a "Did he sleep with her?" level. Chapter wise, this is one of the most well-written chapters in the series. We only have a few more weeks to go before this story ends, sadly. I am going on a one-week hiatus so you won't get a chapter next week but the following week after that. Just a short two weeks. Hopefully, by the time you guys are reading this, I already have these next chapters written out. Show me the support by reviewing and leaving your thoughts. Did Lucas really sleep with Missy? Do you think Riley was wrong for saying those things to Lucas? Thank you guys for reading.
