Leaving [End of Book One]

⚫Riley's P.O.V.⚫

I woke up to the sound of Seth's alarm clock going off.

I sat up, yawning and reaching over to turn it off. Instead of the alarm clock, I touched Seth's hand.

I looked down at him, then pulled my hand away. Not long after that, I realized I was on his bed.

"Wasn't I on the couch when I fell asleep?" I asked, looking at him.

"Yeah. I carried you upstairs."

Why didn't I wake up? I wish I would have.

"Oh," I laughed. "And why am I on your bed?"

"I didn't want to drop you on the floor," he laughed.

"How thoughtful," I grinned. I stood up, carefully stepping over him and stretching. I looked at him out of the corner of my eye, grinning to myself when I saw that he was watching me. "So, we're leaving today, no?"

"Huh?" He asked, blinking a few times. "Oh, yeah, we're leaving today."

I looked around the room, noticing all of the boxes were gone. "What happened to all your stuff?"

He looked around as well, before standing up. He wasn't wearing a shirt again. Was he trying to tease me with what I couldn't have? I studied him for what must have been the 100th time, still mesmerized by his perfect build.

"Riley?" He asked, snapping me out of my trance.

"Er, what?"

"I said let's go downstairs," he laughed. "You still not awake?"

"Yeah, that's it," I said, trying to keep my face from flushing red. "Let's go."

He looked around, probably realizing that his shirts were all gone. "Guess my mom can't yell at me for not wearing a shirt, I don't seem to have one."

I looked around, remembering that my clothes were gone too. Guess we were going on the car ride in our pajamas, Seth shirtless.

He walked out of the room and I followed close behind. I followed him down the stairs and out to the front room, where the front door was propped open.

Seth peered outside before spotting his mom out by a moving truck. He walked out to her, and I followed.

"Hey mom," Seth said.

"Hey," Jess greeted, not even looking at us. She was watching a bunch of guys load the truck.

"I don't have any shirts," Seth said. That caught his mom's attention. She looked at him, then narrowed her eyes.

"Hey, you can't yell, you're the one who told them to take all my shirts from my room," Seth laughed, raising his hands in mock surrender.

"Whatever," Jess said, rolling her eyes. "Can you two go get Lily out of bed? We're leaving."

Hey, this is the end of book one! Finally. Sorry, no confessions or smut yet. I'll get right on that in book two ;) It'll probably be out really soon, knowing me.
