James' pov
I pull up at Kate's house. I knock on the door and find everyone already there.
"Hey, sorry I'm late." I say smiling sheepishly.
"It's okay." Laughs Kate. "We were just playing truth or dare."
I notice all of A troupe are sitting in a circle, and that there's a gap between Riley and Eldon. Riley morions for me to sit there so I walk over and I do.
"Okay, um, Giselle! Truth or dare?" Eldon says.
"Date." She says confidently. "It's always safer to pick dare."
"I dare you to... kiss West." He says smirking. She walks up to him and gives him a peck on the lips.
"Ew!" She says. "Never again."
We all laugh at the face she makes. Even West.
"Umm, James, you haven't gone yet," Giselle says, pointing to me. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth." I say, not wanting to kiss anyone but Riley.
"Hm, if you could date any one of the girls in A troupe, who would it be?" She smirks.
To everyone's surprise, I answer quickly and simply, "I'm already dating her."
They all give me shocked faces. "Who is it?" Stephanie asked. She was always looking for gossip. Riley, Emily and I were trying to contain our laughter.
"Riley." I say with a smile. The room erupts with "Aaaaaaaw!"s.
"Aaaaaaw! Jiley are finally together!" West squeals. "Told you it would happen eventually."

Rileys pov
James and I are stretching together before rehearsals. We were the first to get here, besides Kate. James has been driving me to dance for 3 days now. Honestly, its really nice to have everyone know that we're a couple. We can hug and kids in public, and we don't have to be so secretive about our rendezvous and little dates.
After a while, James stops streching and sits on the bench. I sit next to him. He stares at me for a little and smiles.
"What?" I ask, smiling.
"You're just so beautiful, Ri." He says and I actually think he means it. I blush like crazy and smile. He smiless too and tries to pull me into his lap, but I just glare at him.
"What?!" He says, raising his hands in defence.
"You know I don't feel comfortable sitting on your lap," I insist. "Yet."
"Fine, but I will get you to sit on my lap Riley Raymond." He says, pointing a finger at me. "If it's the last thing I do."
I laugh as he kisses me on the cheek.
"I'm taking you for ice cream later." He says and now I kiss him on his cheek.

Riley and I are just sitting on a park bench licking our ice creams. I thought it would be a good idea to go out before practice, despise her arguing that "sugar for breakfast is not good." but, whatever. Rules are meant to be broken. I order chocolate and she has vanilla.
"Enjoying your ice cream, princess?" I ask smiling.
"Yeah, thanks again." She looks up, smiling at me.
"Do you wanna try mine? " I ask. But before she can reply I dip my lips in ice cream and kiss hers. She kisses back passionately.
"That was good." She says when I pull away.
"Yeah I've always enjoyed chocolate." I joke earning a slap on my arm.
Everything was going great until Riley got a text.
"Practise is starting. Don't be late! - Em" It read.
"We better go back." I say and she nods. I take her hand and walk her to my car.
