I Love My Brother's Best Friend

Surprise Bling

3 months later:

I awoke to the smell of vanilla hair all in my face. This beautiful girl screaming out her little lungs to wake me. I sighed and tightened my arms around her waist, half groaning, half laughing.

"Babe, wake up I've been whipping my hair in your face for about 3 minutes. You sleep like a dead person!" She yelled at me. I chuckled.

"What do you want Riles? I was in the middle of a dream in fact, you were in it being very naughty." I said and watched the blush creep on her cheeks. She covered her face, flashing the diamond ring. I had given her exactly 5 months ago telling her I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.

"Woah?! Is that THE ring?" I said shocked as she grinned so wide I swear I saw extra teeth. "Yes baby, it's THE ring and yes I put it on, because I do and always will want to spend the rest of my life with you." She said and I pulled her closer to kiss her.

"God, I love you." I said smiling up at her. "God, I love you more!" She said and I pushed her hair away from her face.

"I'm going to call Lucy and tell her!" She said and I quirked my eyebrow.

"Y'all made up?" I asked. "No not exactly, I just feel like it's time I make wrongs, rights and I mean I can't hate her forever plus I miss little Teagan!" She said with a giggle.

"I heard she and Cooper were in marriage counciling. I think it's working, at least that's what he said." I told her and she laughed.

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"She was your best friend you should know how much of a handful she is." I said. "Look at us, just gossiping! We are the worst people ever." She groaned as she went to brush her teeth for the third time today probably.

"Gossiping isn't exactly illegal babe." I said and she hit me on the arm. I pretended like it hurt and she smacked me again, actually hurting me.

"You know what I mean I don't care whether we are best friends or just acquaintances. I shouldn't talk about her, but I guess you can." She said making me feel guilty.

"Okay, fine. I know what you're doing and I do feel bad, but I'm not giving in." I said, she fakely acted as if she was shocked.

"Me?! I'm not doing anything. I'm serious talk about her all you want. You can't say anything I haven't already thought about!" She said and that was a fact, so I put it to rest.

"Damn, I always get sucked into your traps." I said pouting. She wrapped  her fingers through my hair and pecked my lips, whispering low.

"It be like that sometimes." I could hear the little smirk in her voice making me grin. "Well played, Peyton." I said and I watched her grow furious.

"Don't call me that!" She whined as I laughed. "It's cute though, plus I love to see you fired up." I said licking my lips dangerously.

"Ash you are a pain in my ass, but it's more like a happy pain." She said making burst into laughter.

"And I didn't think you could get any dumber." I said as she slapped me.

"Pick me out an outfit!" She said pushily. "You know that means we are going to match, right?" I said and she shook her head. My eyes made a beeline to her red shorts that hugged her ass. I pulled them off the hanger throwing her a white crop top.

She smiled. "This is really cute, but you aren't fooling me. I know you just want to look at my ass. You don't even have red in your closet!" She yelled as she put it on anyways.

"I have white though." I said and she ruffled my hair with a giggle. I got dressed as she waited impatiently pacing the floor. She never caught me staring at her with adoration. She's so fucking hot and it's not like 'I just want to fuck' hot. It's like beautiful, but fiercely hot and the red just sets her off.

"Are you finally done, good Lord you take longer than me!" She said making me laugh as I grabbed my snapback.

"Your mood is matching your shorts! What a coincidence?" I said sarcastically and she glared at me.

"Well who's fault is that?" She asked. I just ignored her question.

"We are probably the craziest couple out there." I said and I caught her smiling. "Yeah babe, we are pretty crazy!" She said and we both started laughing.

We drove all the way to Alex's house. Liz was in her little personal chair, Alex was in the kitchen.

"Alex, baby.....Riley is herrre now." She stuttered. Her last surgery gave her a slight stutter, but otherwise she was recovering well.

Alex came out and embraced Riley for the longest time. Then, we did our handshake.

"How's it going, boss? I see my baby sis got her ring back on." He said and I grinned.

"Yeah, it was her choice, but I mean I knew she'd eventually want it back." I said trying to play it off.

"No you didn't man, I remember you crying and....." I cut him off.

"Okay, thank you for the rehash, but uhm I have a better question. Why is there just random bouquets of flowers behind you?"

"Mom and Dad sent them to Liz, her face lit up so bright. I'm glad they sent them." He said and I let him slide, but next time I'll inquire more.

"Has she had any visitors other us?" I asked and he shook his head with a sigh. That means she has to many visitors.

"Well I mean that's good for her. You want to come with us?" I asked and he thumped me in the head. "Why the hell would I leave her here to hang out with you fools?" He said and I groaned.

"Sorry, I forgot you still had anger issues." I said and I could feel his breathing become heavier. "Ashton, you better be glad and love you, because if we weren't bros I'd beat you to a pulp and throw your body out back, so I wouldn't scare Liz." He said and I laughed at the thought strangely.

"Savage!" I said in my best white girl voice. Riley walked in at that point with a confused face.

"You two are so weird, it's just weird." She said and we both chuckled.

"You make a lot of since nowadays duckling." Alex said to her and she stuck out her tongue.

"Who's flowers?" She asked. He replied short. "Liz."

"From?"

"No one important." He said and she didn't ask anymore questions.

"We're out man, call us if you or Liz need anything." I said and he shook his head.

Riley walked angrily to the car. I did to want to push it, but her moods are the worst thing to encounter.

"Riley please, don't let your brother ruin the day! Your parents sent those flowers and the only reason they are still in the kitchen was because Liz loved them. Alex hasn't changed his views on your parents and he probably never will, but don't let that put you in a sour mood."

"Okay, but can you tell me a joke." She asked and I shook my head.

"What did the old man say to his cane?"

"Hurry cane!" I said and Riley bust out laughing, not because it was funny. She told me she laughs because she doesn't even get the jokes I tell.

"Good you're smiling!" I said and she made me turn into the mall.

"Can I go here, here and here?" She asked like the biggest five year old I know.

"Anything for the queen." I said making her laugh at the times she refers to herself as that.
