Riker's POV

At the end of Captain America, I look down at my lap and Allison is fast asleep, her mouth slightly open and her eyes squeezed shut. I run my fingers through her hair, twisting it in my fingers and brushing it. Her hair is so soft, just like her face. I run my hand across her cheek, and then massage her head. She moves a little, and I think I've waken her, but she quickly goes back to sleep.

I watch her sleep for a little while, and then I reach over and grab the remote off the table. I shut off the TV and place the remote back onto the small side table. The last thing I want to happen is for her parents to walk in and see me here with her, especially if they've been gone all night.

Lightly lifting her off of my lap, I stand up from the couch and lay her head down. For a second, I think about letting her just sleep where she is, because she looks so peaceful, but there's no way she could possibly be comfortable like that. I push my arms underneath her, and lift her into my arms, and against my chest. I trudge up the stairs, trying not to hit her against the wall or drop her. When I get to her room, I open up the door and take her into the room.

I gently lie her down on the bed, positioning the pillow under her head. She moves again, curling her legs up to her chest. I move her hair out of her face and into a loose bun on top of her head. I use a hair tie on her wrist to keep the bun in place.

Her skin feels cold when I rub my hand against her bare back, so I pull up the blankets to cover her and keep her warm. I give her a kiss on the cheek and leave the room, shutting off the light and closing the door.

I run down the stairs and grab my bag and shoes as quick as I can and leave the house before her parents come home. I hop in my jeep and back out of the driveway, driving home. The whole drive I think about our night. The images of her, the way I can make her feel, just flood through my head, making me dizzy. Thankfully, I make it home without hitting someone because of my lust.

I walk into the house, and Ross and Ryland are sitting on the couch.

"How'd it go?" Ross says in a cheeky tone.

"Great."

He winks at me, and I almost kick him. I can just see him imagining her naked, and it makes me want to punch those thoughts out of him. That's the only bad part about having brothers. Every girlfriend I've had, they always think of her in a way that only I should think of.

I make myself back away, and I walk up to my room and decide to go to sleep before I go back downstairs and beat the shit out of Ross.

Allison's POV

I wake up in my bed, which kind of scares me. All I remember is falling asleep on the couch. How did I get here? I think for a minute, eventually deciding that Riker brought me up to bed.

My phone buzzes on my nightstand, and I look over at it. It's Peeta.

Peeta: Hey are you mad at me?

Me: No, of course not.

But on the inside I am mad. She acted like a jerk when Riker and I skipped class. She tried to blame him for the whole thing, saying that he's a "bad influence", but I just shut her out and walked away. This is the first time I've talked to her in days.

Peeta: I know your mad. What I said about Riker was wrong. I should have never said that. I know how much you love him. I wouldn't want you to say those things about Val.

I think about her and her boyfriend, Val. They are polar opposites. She is pale and blonde, while he is tan and has very dark brown, or black (I can never tell) hair. She knows I would never say anything bad about Val, so the fact that she treated Riker like that makes me even more mad.

Me: To be honest, I am mad. It really hurt my feelings.

Peeta: I'm so sorry, Alli! I really am! :(

Me: I forgive you. Just please don't say anything like that again.

Peeta: Promise. Love you <3

Me: Love you too Peets <3

I decide to forgive her in less than a second after she apologizes. She is my best friend, I can't stay mad at her for too long.

Looking at my phone, I check the time. It's 11:00, which is good. I really need to get a quick shower and shave before going over to Riker's to go swimming. I decide on no breakfast, because I don't want to get a tummy ache when I'm swimming. Also, I don't need the extra calories. Gotta look good in my bikini, and a big bowl of cereal would NOT help that.

I take a long shower, letting the hot water wash away my thoughts of last night. I try to shut the images of him on top of me out of my head, but it's useless. Riker may seem like a shy little boy on the outside, but damn, he is one sexy man.

After reveling in my thoughts of last night, I get out of the shower and pull my hair up into a big bun on top of my head. I'd rather not get my hair all gross with chlorine, so if it's in a bun maybe it won't be as bad as if my hair were down.

I grab my bikini from the closet and put it on. When I look at myself in the mirror, I want to take a knife to my stomach. I've gained a few pounds in the past few weeks, and the little pooch that sticks out of my stomach makes me debate on even going.

Then I snap back to reality. It doesn't matter what I look like, Riker will always love me for who I am. I may not be the skinniest person, but he has never judged me.

I pull over one of my woven ponchos that I wear to the pool, and grab my flip flops from my bedroom floor. I slip them on, and grab my bag, which has a change of clothes for when me and Riker go to the movies later. I'm assuming that we are just going to hang out all day, since my parents haven't spoken to me in days.

I grab my car keys off the hanger on the wall, and walk out the front door. After I get into the car, I get my phone out of my bag and send Riker a quick text.

Me: On my way :)

The driveway is filled with cars when I arrive, which scares me. Is this a pool party? I thought it was just a few people, not the whole school!

I sit in my car for a long time, just contemplating driving home, when someone slaps the driver's side window. It's Rydel. I roll the window down.

"You're coming in, right?"

"I guess so." I say timidly.

"Well let's go missy!"

She helps me out of the car, complimenting me on my outfit, and I follow her into the house, realizing this was a horrible decision.
