Life As We Know It

Chapter 20

Riley's POV

It took me a couple seconds to realize what was actually going on. Thankfully he pulled away first, because I had a whole mixture of feelings swarming around in my head. I didn't have to look at everyone else to know that they are already looking at us.

"Mommy are you going to have cooties now? Should I get the Listerine?" She asks frantically while tugging my arm.

"No Del, I'm fine."

I didn't have to look at Calum to know that he was smirking at me. I didn't need to look at Ashton to know he was the one whistling. Veronica seemed to be joyous about what had just occurred but her partner seemed to think differently.

"Riley, can I talk to you?" Luke manages to say through gritted teeth. Of course he didn't give me the chance to reply, so he just dragged me into the house.

"Excuse me what was that?" He exclaims while raising his voice.

"Luke, what the hell are you talking about?"

"Kissing Michael in the pool Riley, thats what I'm talking about!"

"I'm sorry, I'm still confused to why that concerns you," I snap with furrowed eyebrows.

"I don't want my daughter thinking she has another father or something. I'm her father, and I don't like you and Michael 'getting in there' around my daughter," He exclaims with anger in his voice.

"Well excuse me Mr. Responsible, get off your high horse and come back down to Earth. It's the same thing with you and Veronica!" I whisper yell, after realizing one of Del's friends had entered the room.

"What are you jealous?" He chuckles.

"You have to be kidding me right?" I begin laughing. After realizing that he had stopped laughing, this idiot was actually serious.

"Luke grow up already before you decide to judge me, make sure you're perfect first," I reply sternly and walk off. (AN: In real life, Luke is perfect)

"Riley get back here!" I hear him yell, well no thanks buddy.

Del comes running towards me like she's crippled. I look at her funny for a couple seconds, but once I realize that she's wearing Addison's shoe on one foot I'm relieved.

"Mommy look, Aunty Addison has big feet!" She exclaims through fits of giggles.

"Del I think it's best you give Aunty Addison her shoe back," I chuckle and help her take the shoe off.

Mikey comes walking up to me and pecks me on the lips again. Well of course I was blushing, and saw Del wiggling her eyebrows at me. But instead of doing it like regular people would, she twisted her face with it and it made her look constipated.

Thats when I hear screaming from near the pool. We all turn our attention towards the screaming,

Only to realize that Delilah-Anne was drowning.
