Guardian [Riker Lynch]

Chapter 4 Dinner and Whips

Chapter 4
Dani's POV
-------------------
"DINNER!" I heard my mom call from downstairs. Riker and I had spent the last 25 minutes talking and giggling about anything! From how the sky looked at sunset to the way bubble gum slowly lost its taste and how it sucked. I gotta say he's quite adorable.. But I would have trouble saying that to his face.

Riker helped me off of my bed and opened my door for me. I blushed a bit and said "Thank you Riker.." And walked down the hallway with him on my tail. In the hall it was the same dark hardwood and beige walls. Bright and colourful picture frames of her family hung on the walls.

I turned to see Riker looking at all the pictures with interest. He was looking at a picture with a man holding a baby girl with wavy brown hair. His eyes lit up and I leaned over and grabbed his wrist, dragging him downstairs with a smile as my body felt like pure sunshine.

....

"So sweetie! Tell me how you two met!" My mother cooed to Riker as we were eating our dinner of Meatloaf, Greek Salad and Mashed potatoes. I saw Riker swallow whatever he had stuffed in his mouth at the moment, "Well I've gone to school with Danielle for years now! But we've only had a few interactions! Today though we just.. Clicked.." Riker droned on about made up stories. I zoned out and ate, thinking about how it sucked that we could have had so many great memories.. If only he had come sooner.. I could have really used him as a friend. A loud noise brought me from my daydreaming.

My mom squealed and pulled out her phone "You two are so precious! Your such a good looking boy Riker!" She booped his nose and Riker gave a grin and chuckled awkwardly. "Thank you Mrs.Lawrence-" he was about to continue when I heard my mom exclaim "I hope Danielle thinks so! She needs a nice and smart boy like you! Danielle! Tell Riker he's handsome!"

My mom scolded me for not saying I thought a boy was hot? Wow. This is what happens when you don't really hang out with guys.

I turned to Riker and swallowed my meatloaf. I said "Riker... I uh.." I found myself stuttering since my mom's stare bore into us. "I think your very handsome.." I turned a slight pink but found myself smiling. Then it faded when my mother said "Now kiss him!" I was about to protest when I felt Riker's lips on my cheek. My mouth dropped open and my eyes bugged out. My mom snapped a picture and I quickly pulled away and started stuffing food in my face. Trying to process that he had willingly and without thought kissed me!

For the rest of the dinner it consisted of my mother bugging Riker and I about our 'budding romance'. Imagine us throwing up ATLEAST nine times when my mother asked if Riker was good in bed or not. She wanted to know so that her daughter wasn't getting a man who was into 'kinky' things. You could imagine our reactions mirroring that of Van Gogh's Scream.

....

"Your mother is quite pushy! I would have never imagined being asked if I would use a whip on a women" Riker chuckled and I groaned and flopped onto my bed. We had just finished dinner and went upstairs to my room. With my mother calling "Don't make me grandchildren! Unless you want to!" That was enough motivation to get us to lock ourselves in here.

"So.. I couldn't help but noticed in all my time of stalking you! That you don't have a dad..." Riker said softly as he sat on my bed beside me. I rolled over to face him, clutching the purple bedding. I said softly "He died... When I was 4 he died of lung cancer.. Just please don't feel sorry for me. It was his fault and I barely knew him. Sure there are moments where I wish I had him.." I took a deep and shakey breath. Trying to hold back tears. Thinking of all the daughters who went to Daddy Daughter Dances and out for Ice Cream.. My mother was always working! Being a Lawyer wasn't exactly a lazy job.

I finally composed myself and continued with "That's why I don't hang around boys much.. Cause I've never had a man to look up to.. Or someone to help me under them. I'm so scared to be around men that my own mother tries to set me up!" I let out an embarrassed laugh.

Riker shook his head "It's not stupid or sad.. I can relate! Angels.. We are never babies for long.. The ones with chubby faces and rosy cheeks go to Cupid! They get turned into babies forever! Pretty cool until they all get cranky and you hear millions of crying babies! But most of us go to into Guardian angel work. And then there's Gods Angels! Those are high in power and are blessed from birth.. But they have the hardest jobs! So I guess I can be happy with watching over people!" He gave a sad sigh before continuing.

"I never knew my parents because we just get created from the clouds and god's heavenly light. We don't have to have sex in order to reproduce. That's why Angel's aren't allowed to be with humans. Because we're Holy beings. We cannot reproduce with a kind that is below us."

I took it all in slowly and looked up to see.. Riker looking down at me with sadness? My heart raced as I realized why. He wanted to be with me. I sat up slowly and looked at him with soft brown eyes. I whispered "History is only ever made by people who broke the rules.."

It felt like the next part didn't even happen, cause what I did was extremely wild and utterly insane! I don't know what was in that meatloaf!

I kissed Riker, I felt his hands cup my face. God I'm thanking you so much right now. He had such soft lips, I tilted my head to the side and slid closer to him. His warm breath tickled my skin as he nibbled on my lip. I let out a small moan. My hands finding his hair, gripping and yanking the soft blond locks. My chest was exploding with fireworks, I felt like I had just won the lottery!

Finally I pulled away, not knowing how long it had been. It had felt like we'd been kissing for hours. I checked my phone, 9:02! It had been 19 minutes.. I looked up to see Riker looking down at my phone also. He chuckled "I guess I got a little carried away.."

I smiled to myself and felt his hand graze my face as he brushed my chestnut locks out of my eyes, leaning in and pressing his lips to mine again. "I'll just stay the night.." He teased as I smiled against his lips. Completely allowing myself to fall.

------------

That was Chapter 4! I'm sorry if the kiss came to early.. But imagine watching someone for close to a year, watching them 24/7. How would you not fall for them. And Riker's likeable and sweet! Plus his magical touch makes it hard not to fall for him! ;)

Till next time my Sparkly Unicorns!
