Riley

Chapter 29

Riley POV
The ground is hard, but smooth...and moving. My whole body lay on its side, my head resting against this floor my, eyes are sleepy. I try to wipe them but feel the ropes on my skin. Oh yea...we got kidnapped. We put up one hell of a fight though. I smirk to myself.

And Peter, I think he died and came back to life...Peter. I blink really hard to try to clear my extremely blurred vision. It clears enough for me to see a body, and he's not here, but Daniel is. That's good, he's safe. By safe, I mean not dead.

The driver hits a bump and my head smacks against the floor. I groan and theres a shuffling behind me. In attempt to roll over and see what the noise is, I turn nose to nose to a very groggy Peter.

My eyes water up and I start to cry. Daniel has been injured and had to be taken from his family, from his whole entire life. Peter walks into my life and make everything emotionally confusing... I'm not confused any longer. I'm in love with him,and now he's in danger also.

I sniffle and try to stop my tears from falling. I can't wipe my tears and they slide side ways down my face. I wouldn't want Peter to fully wake up and see me this close and this teary eyed.

I try to sit up which is difficult. I sway a little and a tear lands on Peters nose. Darn... I cried on his face.

He blinks hard and shoots up to a sitting position. Much quicker than I was able to. I frown at that.

"Riley..." He whispers.

He leans his forehead against mine and then kisses my nose.

"Don't cry my pretty girl. whats wrong?" His voice is so soothing, I relax a little.

"Well, I've endangered Daniel and I've taken him away from his whole family and life. And though we don't know yet were you come from, I'm sure it was better than being shot at and hunted from being around me."

I look down. I feel ashamed, that this is all my fault, and that for now...right now. I'm powerless to fix it. I don't even know who these people are or what they want.

"Riley, look I'm going to be honest with you. I am in love with you."

I start to tear up again at his words.

"No, no, no don't cry. Listen. I'm in love with you. Your the most beautiful girl I have ever had, and will ever have the pleasure of laying eyes on. Your silly , and so much fun, your brave...and stubborn , and also a little stupid with your emotions. But, I am in love. with. it. all. and I want all of you, or as much as I can get of you, for the rest of my life. And i am willing to wait until you get all your emotional issues together, to be with you."

He silences and stares at me with intense blue eyes. They scream honestly. his lips part as he draws in a deep breath.

"There, i said it, and its the truth." he grins a proud grin.

"Peter I-"

"Shh shh you don't have to say anything

"No, Peter, I'm in love with you also. I'm sorry it had to take me a near death experience on your part, for me to realize it. I don't care if i just met you. I want you, okay?"

He doesn't say anything. He just stares at me for about twenty seconds. It's so painfully silent between us that you can hear Daniel breathing and every bump hat this van hits.

"Peter, please say something. "

"Riley I...wish I could kiss you properly right now but it'll have to do. "

He suddenly kisses me, almost knocking back. His tongue flicks the bottom of my lip and I open my mouth to him. His tongue caressing mine and I kiss him back with more need. He groans in response.

"Awwweee." Daniel says

I jump backwards and grin, looking down into my lap.

"How flipping cute are you guys." Daniel continues in a baby voice.

I look at him and he's grinning at the both of us in a haha-you-got-caught expression. Turning my excuse back to Peter, he stares at me with salacious intent.

If I weren't black, and my blushing were visible, I'd be red as a tomato right now. Peter seems unfazed by the fact that we were caught.

Looking into his eyes, they've softened. They are filled with love and happiness, despite the situation we are in.

"Riley, will you be my girlfriend?"

My left eye tears up a little bit, it always does this.

"Yes. yes I will."

Daniel hoots and whistles. I turn and grin at him. He's so silly, I know that he had a crush on me, but he's still happy to see me and Peter happy. He's a great guy.

The van comes to a halt and I realize finally that its the dark sky of dawn right now. How long have we been out. Before I was cloraformed the sky was turning a deep dark shade of blue, getting darker as night was upon us.

The van doors swing open and we all stare into the faces of six people dressed in all black head to toe.

"Welcome to New York." One of them says as he reaches for my ankle and drags me forwards.
