Chqpter 25- P-A-R-T-Why
The music at the party was so loud, Riley could hear it halfway down the block. Feeling confident in her form fitting, off the shoulder black minidress with ¾ sleeves and black kitten heels, she made her way to the front sidewalk of Evan's house. As she got closer to the door, her confidence faltered slightly and her nerves worked themselves into a tangled knot in the pit of her stomach. She took a deep breath and rang the doorbell. She cursed herself under her breath, just realizing that nobody would be able to hear the doorbell over the music. She let herself in, feigning confidence. She relaxed when she saw Zay, relieved that there was someone familiar as a touchpoint. Riley's face lit up when she saw Evan on the stairs in the dining room. She admired him from afar at first. His beautiful lips had the perfect amount of pout and his mid-length blonde hair, cut just at the jawline, had waves that made her think of a California ocean. Evan's eyes were a deep, dark brown, with just a fleck of green. He was gorgeous and Riley couldn't stop staring at him. Until he noticed, then she looked down at her feet, embarrassed. His bright, wide smile was currently walking toward her.
"Riley, you came." Evan was surprised. Red-faced, Riley looked up and got lost again in those eyes of his. She shook herself out of this trance he had her in.
"Of course I came. You invited me." Riley replied. Evan looked around, looking for someone.
"Where is Maya? I thought you were bringing her, too." Evan asked. Riley shook her head.
"I invited her, but she didn't feel "comfortable" being the party fun-sucker." Riley explained. "So, it's just me. Why? Are you disappointed?" She mock pouted, looking up and giving Evan puppy-dog eyes." Evan grinned and lifted Riley's chin up.
"Of course not. I just know that you guys don't do too much without each other. So I thought for sure, she would be here. But just between you and I, I am glad she isn't." Evan winked at her and took her hand. "Come on, let's dance." Riley allowed herself to be led to the living room where the stereo was located and all the furniture had been removed, to make room to dance. As the stereo finished the song it was playing, a slow song came on and Riley and Evan danced close, Riley breathing him in deeply.
Meanwhile, in the dining room, where the punch bowl sat, Evan's mother noticed who had caught her son's affections. This could not be more perfect if she had planned it. From her front pants pocket, she retrieved a small vial of what was labeled as Gamma Hydroxybutyrate, or GHB. Quickly, before anyone noticed, she dumped the entire vial into the plastic crystal punch bowl. She stirred it with the spoon and slipped back into the kitchen to watch, before anyone noticed. She started to get nervous when three couples came to get punch first. Afraid that the punch would be gone before Riley could get some, she gathered ingredients to make more. Just as she was getting the sugar from the cupboard, she heard Riley's voice in the dining room.
"Do you want any, Evan?"
"No thanks. I'll stick with water. I hate the taste of punch." Evan replied.
"Then why do you serve it at your party?" Riley laughed.
"Because everyone else likes it, and I am a good host." He responded, grinning widely. "But go ahead, have some. I won't hold it against you later when your kisses taste like punch."
"Oh, really?" Riley flirted back. "What makes you think I'm kissing you?"
"We'll see, Riley. We will see." Evan winked at her and they made their way back to the living room. Satisfied that her plan was in motion, Evan's mother slid her way to the basement and waited for the party to conclude.
"Wow, Evan! What is in this punch?" Riley shouted.
"Um, punch. That's it. I would not serve alcohol at a party!" Evan shouted back, confused. Riley had loosened up and was flirting shamelessly with him. All it took was a little flirting on his part, and she was more relaxed. As Riley headed for the snack table, she downed the remainder of her punch.
Riley was not convinced that the punch was only punch, but she was inclined to believe Evan. He had not lied to her yet. As she noshed on her snack plate, she surveyed the crowd, who inexplicably became wavy and slightly distorted, she could not believe her eyes. Across the room, staring at her, was Lucas. What was he doing here? Had Evan invited him as a goodwill gesture, saying no hard feelings? No matter the reason, he was heading her way and smiling his Lucas sized smile. She swooned and stood up.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Riley asked.
"Riley, do you want to to upstairs, where it's a little…quieter?"
Riley was slightly confused. Maybe he wanted her back and he came here to talk about it.
"Sure. I'd love too." As he led her up the stairs, she started to get butterflies. She would finally get to be with Lucas, all alone. No Farkle, nobody else but the two of them. Riley followed him into the bedroom, where he locked the door behind her. She lay across the bed, inviting him to her with one crooked finger and a sly smile.
"Are you sure, Riley? We can't go back after this." Riley nodded, emphatically.
"Never been more sure." She lay back and enjoyed the warm touch of Lucas' hands on her body.

Gently, he removed her strappy shoes and her black lace panties. As he pushed her dress up around her waist to reveal Riley's vagina, he gently kissed it and made his way up to her face. As she looked into Lucas' face, Riley noticed that he was a little distorted. She shook it off and attributed it to the drink. She grabbed his face and pulled him toward hers. Fiercely, her tongue made its way into his mouth. She kissed him long and hard, before pulling away to breathe. He took this opportunity to kiss her neck and leave a trail of kisses to the middle of her chest. He gently pulled the dress down to reveal Riley's two beautiful breasts. As he took the left one in his mouth and gently sucked on her nipple, he fondled the right one with his hand. As Riley moaned slightly, he moved down to her stomach, leaving wet kisses down to her pelvis. As he reached her vagina, he breathed her in and gently separated her folds, inserting his tongue and sucking on her clitoris. Riley suddenly pulled him back up by the sides of his head.
"Make love to me." She whispered. He nodded and removed his pants and underwear. He was already hard, so as he looked down at Riley, gauging her reaction with everything he did, he slowly inserted his penis. Slowly, he backed out and went back in, teasing Riley, who was on the verge of climaxing. As Riley got wetter, he went faster. He thrust his penis into her vagina, in and out, until Riley screamed in ecstasy and climaxed. He grunted and climaxed right after. As he removed his penis and rolled over, he noticed that Riley had already fallen asleep. He pulled her dress back to right and gently covered her with the blanket on the bed. He dressed himself and went back down to the party, vowing to check on her later.
When Riley woke up the next morning, something felt…off. She had no panties on, and she was alone in Evan's bedroom. She vaguely remembered Lucas was there, but that was all she could remember. If Lucas had been here last night, where was he now? And why was she in Evan's room? Confused, she dressed herself, sans panties, and made her way down the stairs and out the front door, without a goodbye to Evan. She had too much on her mind, for pleasantries. Upon entering her apartment, she noticed Shawn was still sleeping on the couch. Walking quietly, so not to wake him, she walked into her bedroom and closed the door, leaning against it. She pulled her phone out of her nightstand drawer and called Lucas' number. It went straight to voicemail.
"Hey, Lucas. It's me, Riley. I know we didn't do much talking last night, but I would really like to, if you are still in town. I have a couple of questions for you regarding last night, when you are not busy." She hung up and put the phone back in her drawer and headed for the shower. She would clear all this up when Lucas called her back. In the meantime, she had other things to attend to. School would be starting in less than a week and her mother was taking her school shopping today. Maya texted Riley after her shower to see if she could go shopping with her and her mother. Katy was working today and she needed school supplies as well. Riley could hear her mother in the kitchen, making breakfast. She headed out to the kitchen to ask her mother about Maya's request.
"Morning, Mom. Maya just texted me to see if she could go with us today. Her mom is working so she can't take her." Topanga looked up from preparing the meal, and nodded. "Ok. I will text her and let her know." As Riley turned to go back to her room, Topanga called her back.
"Wait just a second, young lady. Where were you last night?" Topanga demanded. Riley slowly turned around.
"I was at that party. I told you about it last week. Remember?" Riley replied, innocently.
"That party. The one that wasn't supposed to go past midnight? And you come sauntering in here at," she looked at her watch, "8 am?! Unacceptable!" Topanga was shouting now, causing Shawn to stir and wake up.
"Sorry, Mom. I fell asleep at the party and came home as soon as I woke up. I swear." Riley explained.
"After we get your school supplies today, you are grounded for the rest of the week. Understand?!" Topanga stood with her hands on her hips and tapped her foot, waiting for Riley's response.
"Yes, Mom." Riley said quietly, looking down at her feet. She went back to her room and texted Maya that her mother was fine with her joining them, just as Topanga walked into her room with her hand out.
"What?" Riley asked. Topanga snapped her fingers and gestured to Riley's phone. Sighing, Riley handed over her phone. "When can I have it back?"
"That remains to be seen, Riley. What you did was dangerous and irresponsible. I will talk with your father and we will discuss it later." Topanga lectured. "For now, get ready to go. Come eat breakfast with your brother and we will go." Riley silently nodded and followed her mother to the kitchen, where Auggie and Shawn were pretending not to listen to the entire conversation. Topanga left to get dressed herself.
"What did you do, Riley?" Auggie asked. Riley shook her head.
"Believe me, little brother. You do not want to know."
