Working for Mr.Bad Boy (Very Slow Updates)

Chapter 8: First night with the Golds

{Riley's P. O. V.}

The last two weeks had been a blast working at the Golds house. I got to learn so much about Sara, Scarlett and even Lucy and James. But River was always locked in his room. I didn't mind it at all because I didn't do well when I was around him. It always ended up with word vomit. And we all know what happened the last time I went all word vomit on River.

I was upstairs getting ready to leave and head over to the Gold's, tonight was the first night that It'd just be me and Scarlett. Benji was sleeping over at a friends for the weekend, Lucy and James were having a weekend off and Sara was on a business trip coming home a little later tonight.

As for River I didn't know where he was going tonight, but I couldn't care less. All I cared was that Scarlett and I were gonna have a girls night. I walked downstairs and went into the kitchen. I grabbed a granola bar from the cupboard and sat down at the kitchen table.

I noticed that the light on the voice machine was blinking signaling we had an unheard message. I pressed the button and listened carefully to the robotic lady on the machine telling me the different options.

'You have 2 unheard messages. To listen to the your messages press one' I pressed one.

'First message was received today at 11:05.

'Hello Riley, It's doctor Scott, I was just calling to keep you updated on your mothers condition. She is still stable but we had to run some more tests to make sure she is okay and to see how the brain tumor is holding up during her coma. Good news is that the surgeons can operate on her brain to remove the brain tumor. Of coarse we'd have to wait till she's out of her coma. But that's something to look forward to if she wakes up.'

That 'if' made me suck in a shaky breath. I was trembling. The doctor basically just told me she wasn't gonna come out of that coma. I shook those thoughts from my head and listened to what else he had to say.

'Anyways I'll keep you posted on her and I will see you soon. Okay bye.'

'To keep this message press one, to forward it to someone else press 4 to delete it press 7' I pressed 7 to delete it.

'2nd message received today at 10:08.'

'Hey Riley! It's Sara, I was calling to ask if tonight you could spend the night to watch over Scarlett. My flight was cancelled, for some reason there calling for a major storm tonight and it's already starting over here. But I will catch the next flight for tomorrow afternoon and should be home tomorrow night. Let me know, if it's a problem then I could always ask her aunt or River. I don't want to bug Lucy or James because it's there weekend off and yea you get it. Anyways call me and let me know. Bye.

'To keep this message press one. To forward this message to another person press four and to erase this message press 7' I pressed 7.

'Message deleted, no more messages'

I slumped in my seat at the table. Great now I have to spend a night at the Golds. I mean don't get me wrong I love Scarlett and I'd sleepover any day, but she came with a scary older brother which I didn't like. But I couldn't let Sara down, so I shot her a text telling her that that's fine and I'm "super stocked" she replied as soon as the text sent with a quick 'thank you thank you so much' I laughed and put my phone down.

I finished up the half eaten granola bar and threw the wrapper in the garbage. I checked the time on the clock in the kitchen and practically ran to the door. I was gunna be late if I didn't leave right now. I ran over to the front door and pulled on some shoes. I took my keys, took off my glasses and put on my sunglasses and locked the door behind me. I turned around and started to walk to their house at a fast pace.
