Chapter 20-Let the Games Begin

Chapter 20

Riley woke up the next morning in Maya's bedroom, with her arm draped over her eyes and for a good reason. As soon as she moved her forearm the light was like a sledgehammer on her head. "Maya?"

"Shhhh..." The brunette sat up and ran to her bathroom to take advil. She laid back down and grabbed her phone to check the time. Her eyes widened to see the numbers on her screen straight.

"23 messages? 5 missed calls. Ugh. 11:30?" All of a sudden like a rush of wind, she remembered what happened last night. She placed her hands over her face and lifted her phone again. "All from Lucas, how convenient."

I'm not gonna stop.
I didn't lie to you Riley. She was wanting to start things back up again.
You know I wouldn't do that to you sweetheart.
Please, respond.
Please, please call me back. I need to talk to you.
I'm only going to be more persistent now, you aren't going anywhere.

Riley rolled her eyes, reading his arrogance, continuing to scroll through the messages. All of them similar to the ones she had already read, except for the last one. "2:00 in the morning, wow."

You're probably asleep by now, but i'm going to talk to Bailey tomorrow before they leave. I didn't want to embarrass her in front of a bunch of people she didn't know. You thought I was relentless before? You just wait. Goodnight beautiful, sweet dreams, I hope you aren't hurting too bad when you wake up.

All 5 missed calls were from Lucas, she set her phone down. And twirled her hair, with her eyes closed. She quickly fell asleep again.

"Good morning Lukey." Bailey slept in his bed last night and he slept on the couch.

"Hey. Mornin'." He checked his phone and saw that he had nothing from Riley. Zay was sleeping on the other couch and Lucas tossed a pillow at him to wake him up.

"Come on man!" Zay opened his eyes wide and started stretching. "Hey, do you have Riley's number?"

"Yeah. Why?" He put on his shirt and stood up. The creases on his forehead as he looked at his friend made him even more attractive.

"I've missed those." The running back turned his back to the blonde, not acknowledging the compliment.

"When I asked for it, Riley said you had it." He blinked for a while, knowing what she was trying to do.

"So babe, what are we doing today?" Taylor walked into the living room, more like ran.

"Zay, hi!" She hugged him and turned around to see Bailey standing in the kitchen. "Bailey. I didn't realize you would be here." Taylor sauntered into the kitchen and gave her a hug, his mothers eyes were glaring and Lucas felt even worse. "What are you doing here? I was only expecting Zay. I should've been notified if a girl was staying the night in my house."

"Lucas and I are going to try long distance." Taylor's eyes widened and she put on a fake smile. But when Bailey turned away, his mother shook her head and closed her eyes. Lucas felt the disappointment from his mother, he knew she really liked Riley.

"Well, we need to talk about that."

"Where can I find Riley on a Saturday?" The running back rolled his eyes and exhaled. He felt like he was dodging bullets from Zay and blocking blows from Bailey.

"She's probably still sleeping. I don't know." His mother was so confused. She took Brinley's breakfast to her room and left the drama behind her.

Zay sat up. "So, what are we doing today?"
