Believing lies

chapter 21

I giggle, annoyingly as River's hand skim past my stomach to my other side, "stop," I laugh and he finally pulls back "you know you could've just given me a kiss to wake me up," I tell my boyfriend as I lean back into his pillows.

"I could've done more than give you a kiss but I opted out," He smirks pulling me to my side and into his body, he hooks his finger behind my left knee and swings it over his hip. "It's new year's eve," River smiles at me and I laugh laying my head on his bare chest.

"are you charming your way through so you'll get a midnight kiss?" I tease him.

He gently squeezes my ass and I roll my eyes, "uhh I better be getting a midnight kiss, who else are you gonna kiss?"

"my fictional boyfriend," I laugh, his hand tightens. I tease River by using my finger to trace his abs.

"High King Peter could never,"

"he may not have to, he's a high king," I laugh, and River grumbles. I lean up and put my hand on my chin, leaning into his warm body. "but I love you, and you're it for me, that's all that really matters," I tell him.

He smiles down at me and tugs on my long hair, "I love you, and you're it for me too."

I smile and lean up kissing him quickly before laying back down. That was kind of our saying because we both knew that we truly were it for each other and that's all we needed in life. I hear River's ringtone go off in the living room for the second time, the first time was the reason why we woke up, but again neither of us got out of bed.

"I should call back whoever that is," River says rubbing my back.

"I wonder who it could be," I yawn

"most likely Simon or something," he sighs. River told me the other day that he and I are gonna meet up with Simon in the new year to deal with the whole Beck situation, something I was surely overwhelmed me but River assured me I will be fine, like always.

I turn over in bed so I'm laying on my back and River's hand falls to my stomach, "so what should we have for breakfast?" I ask.

"wanna have crepes?" He asks, I shrug but agree. As River grabs the ingredients out of the fridge I scroll through his Spotify and end up on the early 2000's playlist the app has made. Walking over to River I smile at his lock screen of me.

"Okay so, I've only got Nutella and Strawberries," River tells me.

I laugh, I had bought Nutella the other week to have at River's apartment because I was on my period and he had no chocolate.

"You're saying it like that's a bad thing, that's one of the best combinations for crepes," I tell him as I set up the coffee. I was craving coffee, the coffee addict in me was slowly dying and it was all River's fault.

"Or because you love Nutella and strawberries," River gives me a look.

"Okay and? Your girlfriend is a Nutella and coffee addict, sue me," I shrug, and River chuckles, reaching over and wrapping his arm around me, pulling me into him.

"I love when you say my girlfriend," he muses and I smile.

"I like it when I say it too," I nod and he kisses me.

To say Kaden's club was packed was a massive understatement the group was over in some VIP section Kaden set up so we wouldn't feel too overwhelmed but I don't think it helped, the club was packed, obviously, it is New Year's Eve.

Even in the dark, my short silky light blue dress was one of the pop-off colors in this club. When I slide into this dress I mainly did it for myself but seeing River's reaction was a perk as well and I didn't mind.
