Double Date.

Chapter 41

"Where are we going?" He smirked and got on the highway. "Lucas Friar, you better answer me!"

"You know, you are really ruining the surprise. Relax baby, you'll see soon enough!" She rolled her eyes. "You look beautiful, and that eye roll really was icing on the cake." The brunette giggled and pushed up her matte black Ray Ban's.

"Dresses is all that's easy to put on and I was in a hurry." The brown eyed girl adjusted her denim jacket to cover her black dress.

"I said you look beautiful, i'm not complaining. I love you in dresses. Do I say you're beautiful too much? Does it ruin the meaning?" The cheerleader laughed.

"Absolutely not. I actually believe you and it gives me the feels whenever you call me that." He kissed her hand and got on the 3rd highest overpass, she tucked her face into his arm.

"You okay?"

"Shush." He chuckled and hurried to get off the ramp.

"You're in the clear." Riley sat up and hid her face from embarrassment. "Why are you embarrassed by that? You're in a truck going 50 miles per hour on a ramp that is I don't even know how high. It freaks me out too." She cocked her head.

"I didn't think you were afraid of anything."

"I'm afraid of a few things actually." She smiled, preparing herself to learn something new about her boyfriend.

"Do tell!" He chuckled, showing off his white teeth.

"Well, heights is one of them. Not so much heights but the whole plummeting to your death thing probably is what i'm really afraid of. I hate snakes, I was bit by one when I was fishing one time and ever since then I steer clear. I can handle them like if you were being attacked or something." Riley laughed.

"That's not bad at all. That's 2 things." He smirked. "What?"

"Nothing. What?"

"What else are you afraid of? That smirk is like, 'i'm hiding something from you'." They were at a red light and he looked at her.

"I'm afraid of losing you. Whether we break up, or something happens to you, God forbid that's probably my worst fear."

"You're full of it." She nudged his shoulder.

"No, i'm not. That's the problem with falling in love with someone. You can try as much as possible to keep someone safe but, you can't prevent bad things like, illness, or accidents." Riley stared at him and smiled, realizing yet again how much he loved her. She didn't even realize that they had parked at their destination. "That's a big reason why I like to take you away from everything, ya' know out to our spot. Away from the crazy, speedy and stressful life of daily living. I really savor those moments when we're by ourselves. In the end, those are the moments you truly remember, not if you aced the test or got that raise, but the time you spent with people you love." Riley held a light smile on her face.

"That got extremly deep, extremely fast."

"Because," He grabbed her face, "I love you an extreme amount." He kissed her lips and hopped out of his truck. The cheerleader still hadn't realized where they were.

"Should that worry me?" She giggled when he raised his left brow. "Kidding. You know I love you too." His strong arms lifted her out of his truck and she finally looked at where they were. "THE ZOO!" Lucas laughed and intertwined his fingers with hers.

"Yup, I heard from a little bird that you haven't been this year!"

Riley didn't look at him, she started trying to sprint to the entrance. "Tell Maya thank you!" The running back ran in front of her and stopped her.
