Riley

Chapter 22

Peter POV
Em was dressed in a Aqua blue dress that came to her knees. I think it's a rather ugly dress though. We are leaning against the wall when I noticed Riley near the bar with someone. I could only see the back of her beautiful curly hair, but I'd know that hair from anywhere. Riley takes the hand of who ever she is with and they stand together.

The guy turns and I see that it's Daniel. I'm all of a sudden really angry. He said that he was with the most beautiful girl, but I didn't expect him to be with Riley!

My eyes set on Riley and my breath catches in my throat. She has the most beautiful black full length body hugging dress on. It hugs her curves and it's just ...wow. There's black lace on the sleeves and she looks stunning.

A stunning dress for the most beautiful girl.

He's in an all black tux with silver and grey trimmings. I should have bought a full suit...they move hand in hand to the dance floor and he spins her around.

She's smiling as he dips her and then our eyes meet. Her smile falters at the sight of me. That's not a pleasant feeling. I want her...no need her, to smile because of me.

I drop my arm from Em's waist, not really caring how she will feel about it. I stalk towards the two, trying to hide my anger, I'm not sure if it's working, I'll just have to hope that it is.

"Good afternoon, Riley." I turn my gaze to Daniel. "Daniel." I nod in his direction.

"Peter." Riley says my name breathlessly. It touches something deep inside me. I want her always saying my name.

"Hey, man what's up." Daniel says smiling oblivious to all the tension. "I see you two know each other. This is my date. " he grins and wraps his arm around her shoulder, giving it a squeeze.

My eyes flicker towards the contact and back to Riley's face. "I noticed. " I grin at her.

"My date is over there." I her my thumb in her direction without turning around to look at her. "She's waiting on me to return. I just came to speak and say hi."

I walk away before any questions are ask and anything else could be said. I'm aware that their eyes are on me. I can feel it. I smirk to myself and grab Em around the waist and nip her ear.

"Let's dance." I whisper. I hear a slight gasp and pull her against my body.

"You look really good. Your pretty." I don't lie. She is quite pretty, just not nearly as Riley.

We move away from the wall and we rock side to side. I turn her so that her back is towards Riley and Daniel and so that I can see them clearly over her shoulder.

Daniel dips Riley and she smiles then he pulls her against his body and they continue to sway. She moves from him and holds his hand up signaling for him to take a spin. He does and she dips him. They laugh at her silliness and I know that that could be me. But no...I'm here with oh-so-boring Em.

I try to spin her but she refuses saying that any sudden movement might make a curl fall and that she will get dizzy.

I need a drink. I let her go and walk away from her. She stands behind probably looking lost.

"Can I have something to drink." I ask the bartender.

"Sure what do you want, sir?" I shrug my shoulder. I'm not even sure.

"Anything. Something strong."

"Having a rough time?"

"Yea man, the girl I want to be here with has another date. While the girl I am here with is so boring. "

The bartender shakes his head. "Terrible. I will be back with your drink."

"Thanks man, bring two please."

He laughs and heads off into the back. Em slides into the seat next to mine.

"Did I do something. You seem...irritated."

I look at her with a blank face. And touches my shoulder and rubs it. She grins, probably because she is feeling my muscle.

"Well. " I start "your hot, but your boring. I wanted to spin you or dip you but you complained about your hair. I honestly don't give a darn about your hair. Then earlier while playing cards I was so bored I thought I'd die...your boring. That's all." I conclude

I turn in my seat but not before I see the shocked look on her face.

"You know what." I turn and look at her. "Your hot, but your a douche."

"I'm a douche because your boring?"

She slaps me across the face then looks around. Not finding anything to probably throw in my face, she stands from the bar stool, almost falling, and walks away with her arms across her chest.

I sigh. "At least Im safe from being bored."
