Sitting In Traffic | Formula 1

Chapter 20- Falling Guilty

Riley was waiting inside her condo excitedly knowing Arthur was on his way. She was in the kitchen, just waiting for the front door to open. Riley had butterflies in her stomach as she sat there patiently, continuously checking the time on her phone to see how much time had passed.

She got up when she heard faint footsteps grow from down the hallway. She walked over to the door quickly to open it, thinking it was Arthur. Only to be disappointed when it was Daniel, Lando, and Max all headed her direction.

"What are you guys doing here" Riley frowned, moving out of the way for everyone to come inside. "I thought you weren't supposed to be back until tomorrow"

"That's key for," Daniel started, "I had plans; isn't it?" He looked at Riley as she closed the door, keeping it unlocked for Arthur.

"Maybe" She said, hiding her smile as she stepped over everyone's luggage. "Can you guys like, put this in Dan's room?" She took a seat on a stool looking at everyone in the kitchen.

"Yeah" Max said, going to grab his bag, shooting Lando a look that said 'listen'. "Daniel, move your fucking bag" He said when Daniel didn't budge.

"It doesn't matter how long it's been," Lando mumbled under his breath walking around the counter, "He's still fucking whipped" He said a little louder for Riley to hear as he passed her, picking up his bags.

Daniel followed behind Lando and Max, walking towards his room down the long hallway. They left Riley alone in the kitchen, and their loud voices soon turned to whispers as they entered Daniel's room. Precisely at the same time Arthur burst through the front door, talking loudly not knowing Riley was in the kitchen waiting for him. Nor did he know other people were there.

"Sorry I'm late, I couldn't find any condoms so I stopped to grab a box around the corner," Arthur said, looking at the box in his hand, "It was that or going in ra-"

"Arthur!" Riley said quickly, hiding her reddening face in her hands as everyone re-entered the kitchen, hearing everything Arthur had said. Including Max.

"I didn't realize everyone was coming back today," He said, walking over to her. Riley smiled while looking at him, seeing him in a pair of black dress pants, a white t-shirt and a black blazer pulled over.

"We ended up using Max's jet instead last night" Daniel told him, seeing Arthur nod.

Everyone else started talking when Arthur walked over to Riley. She started standing up, feeling his hand go to her waist, he wasn't going to kiss her in front of everyone in the room after what he just said. Arthur knew Riley would hate if he did that, especially in front of Max. Riley started walking into her room with Arthur trailing behind her, and Max watched them subtly, hating that she was still with Arthur.

He thought they would've broke up by now.

Riley closed the door behind Arthur. She looked over at him with a smile when he sat down on her bed, watching her quietly lock the door.

"You're dressed up" She pointed out as she walked over to him.

"I made dinner reservations for us" He told her, not letting his eyes falter from hers when she moved to straddle him.

"What time?"

"We have time" He said quietly, sinking into the kiss Riley was pressing to his lips, running his hands up and down the back of her thighs when she was kneeling on the bed.

"We can't" She said pulling away from him and standing up.

"I knew I should've come over sooner" Arthur complained, lying backwards on her bed.
