Riley

Chapter 59

Riley POV
We drive back home was silent, but I was happy in my silence, it was peaceful.

The day was coming to an end and it had to be the best day so far of my entire life. I'm going to get married!
After all the bad that's been happening, life's looking up and getting great, really quick.

Once inside the granddads I flop on the couch without even removing my dress.

"Be careful in that dress sleeping beauty, someone may see you unguarded and want to take advantage." Peter warns smiling and winks at me.

"The only one here who could take advantage of me, or want to ravish me, is you." I smirk back at him.

He hobbled over to me and tells me to sit up, so I do. Then I lay back down, placing my head in his lap.

He strokes my hair away from my face. "Your so pretty baby." He whispers low to my ear. I drift off into sleep.

"Riley wake up and get dressed, your going to the furniture store today." My moms voice snaps me from my peaceful dreams

"What if I don't want you to determine my day? " I ask already in the process of sitting up.

"What if I don't want you living in that house I just purchased yesterday?"she snaps back at me. "Your boyfriend can stay there though. He's a sweet heart."

I look over to a grinning Peter and can't help but laugh too. "Okay. We'll need to get more regular clothes also."

"Sure. Just get your sleepy butt up." She comes over and kissed my forehead. "Good morning Riley."

"Good morning mommy, I love you." I mumble back at her as I prepare to get ready.

After me and Peter have both showered and gotten dressed, mom sends us out with 20 thousand, and the keys to the new house. She says its to furnish the whole house.

"Ooh, let's go to the store and pretend to have another language as our native. We should talk to people in Spanish or French or something." Peter says excitedly.

I stare back at him shocked. "When did you learn to speak another language?"

"Not sure. But I think I'm fluent in both. Can you speak another language?" He asks

"Uhm Me llamo Riley, y yo mucho gusto Peter. " I say slowly but, proudly.

He bursts into laughter as we pull up to Kings Chairs the furnishing store.
"After all we've been through, you only like me a lot."

I grin at him. "Yup. "

All of a sudden, his face gets very serious which makes my grin slip.
I was just kidding with him. Didn't he know that?

"Then give me back the ring. I'll go return it, give your mom back the money and be out of your life. " He says reaching for my hand.

I gasp and snatch my hand away from his reach before he could touch it and he bursts into laughter. "You totally bought into it. " He says between laughs.

I squint my eyes at him. That wasn't funny. But seeing him full on laugh, I can't help but to laugh along also. "I love you babe. " He says after his laughing fit.

He leans over and grabs my face kissing my lips. "Let's go darling. We have furniture to pick out. " he says in a British accent.
------------------------------------------------------------
Peter and I have gotten yelled at for jumping on the beds. Our only defense was that we were testing the comfortability of the bed.

The man was going to kick us out, but Peter told him that he'd be missing out on a possible 20 thousand dollars worth of furniture being bought. He relented and stomped away angrily.
