Senior Year-Rucas

Rooftop Rucas

Chapter 31

The entire week had been the same. She'd go to morning practice and watch Missy freak out every time they got close to one another. Riley would walk to her locker and Lucas would be there with a flower and a note. They'd work together and she would go home and stare at the notes and flowers he'd given her. She was afraid to open them, but the brunette was sitting on her bed Wednesday night and decided to read one, only one. Riley had finally quit crying, she'd ran out of tears so now would be the best time. After a deep exhale she opened the first note and there was a wallet sized photo of them touching foreheads and smiling, this was her favorite picture of them that they took right after they started dating. Her fingers grazed over his jaw and a grin approached her face. Riley grabbed the piece of paper that was wrapped around it and started to read.

Love Letter #1,

If someone asks me to describe the perfect woman, i'd start by describing you. In you I have found the perfect blend of everything that I was looking for in a woman. You are caring, attentive, loving and protective all the things that make you the person I want to spend the rest of my life with. So, no matter how tough the road ahead gets, stay with me and love. And I will continue to stay and love you, because all my dreams came true in you.

Love,

Lucas a.k.a. your future boyfriend.

Riley swallowed the lump in her throat and laid back on her bed. She looked at the note and after reading it a 3rd time grabbed her phone.

Hi.
Hey beautiful, which one did you read? She wasn't surprised he knew.
Love letter number 1.
That's a good one. Riley giggled. I've missed hearing that.
Can we please just, go back to normal?
Depends on what you mean by normal?
What are my options?
Well option number 1, we go back to the way we were before dating and I try to sweep you off your feet. Option number 2, we go back to dating. My favorite! Option number 3, i'd be waiting outside of your bay window. I'd be sitting outside and staring at you, and i'd notice you were wearing my hoodie. Riley's eyes widened.
How did you know I was wearing-
I took option number 3. Riley sat up in her bed and glanced at her bay window. For tonight. Tomorrow i'll work on option number 1 and 2.
What are you doing here?
The brunette didn't get up immediately she stared at him through the window. I just, had to see you. Even the simplest things he said hit her in the feels. Pictures just weren't enough tonight.
You saw me at school.
Riley dangled her feet off the side of the bed. What's your point? The exes stared into each other's eyes, just like they used to, neither could help the grin that approached their faces. The cheerleader walked to the window, set her phone down and opened it. Letting in more than just the cool night air, feelings flooded in with it.

"I guess I don't have one."

"So, I have a surprise for you. Wanna come take a look?" He held out his hand and she took it in hers. The pair crawled to the roof and there were a bouquet of flowers, chocolate strawberries and a blanket. She closed her eyes remembering the last time they'd done this. All the memories flooded her mind, all of them good except that one. She swallowed the lump in her throat.

"I'm running out of places to put flowers."

"Which, brings me to this." The green eyed man lifted the corner of a blanket and held a blank book in his hands. "I thought you may be running out of room in your book and need a new one."

"How did you know I was still doing that?"

"I didn't, I only hoped you were." Riley continued to crawl up the roof and sat criss cross apple sauce on the blanket. The running back leaned on one arm and faced towards her.
