Chapter 15

Lucas shut the back door and looked at Riley with wide eyes. "Let's get in the water." With a running start the brunette flipped into the deep end of the blue water, trying to act like nothing had happened. The running back was right behind cannon balling into the pool.

"I'm sorry. I completely forgot, which is even weirder considering I spent like 10 minutes in the bathroom trying to think of an excuse."

"It's okay, relax." His smile made her do just that. "But, they are gonna ask. So, what do you want for me to say?"

"Ugh, I don't know." She grabbed a neon pink float and climbed on top.

"Don't stress about it we can figure it out later." The cheerleader turned to her left and saw the waterfall made of rocks.

"I love that, the sound is so peaceful." She mumbled

"Wait till it gets dark, my dad and I installed lights and uh," Lucas pulled her off of the float and into his arms. "it gets super romantic." He whispered.

"You better cool it, your parents are watching." She tried to wiggle away. "Something tells me I may not need to be around when it gets dark."

"Who cares if my parents are watching? My mom has known i've liked you since the first day of school." Her eyes widened.

"She has not!"

"No, she has. Your dad knows too!" Riley's jaw dropped, and with all that she could muster she splashed him. "What? I thought you'd be happy!"

"What did he say? What did you say?" She wasn't angry she actually was happy he was right, she was just extremely shocked.

"I said that i'm gonna ask you out, and i'd like his permission. After he checked my transcript, and record apparently, he cleared me to be with you. Then, I realized the hard part was getting you to agree to go out with me."

The brown eyed girl was back on the float, laying on her stomach, facing him. "I would agree to go out with you, if it wasn't for Charlie." Lucas admired her physique, and how her eyes turned from a deep brown to a hazel when the sun hit them.

"You're so pretty. Do you know that?" He moved a strand of hair away.

"That's why I would date you. Because, i'm starting to believe you."

"You should, I could go on and on about different parts of you that are absolutely breathtaking but, it's just quicker to say 'you're beautiful'." He winked at her and her cheeks turned red. "So, since Chase got to make a request, can I?"

"You may but, you have to be lucky for it to be approved." The brunette put some hair behind her ear, as if that would prevent her from hearing properly.

"Good thing I make my own luck. I would like to partner up with you, for the senior dance thing."

"I'll talk to Darby and the co-captain and see what they say." She started smiling.

"Who's the co-captain?" Riley raised her eyebrows and tucked her lips in. "No. No freakin' way! Missy?"

"Yes sir. And, I have a feeling she's going to want you in her stunt group." Riley slid into the water now that the sun was creating beads of sweat.

"How are you not Captain or Co-Captain? You're incredible, and definitely better than Missy."

"Be nice, and I just didn't try out. I didn't know if i'd be able to handle school, job, and cheer leading. Let alone being captain, besides Darby is friends with everyone. People would take direction from her better than me."
