I woke up the next morning I didn't think I moved much in my sleep but apparently I had, I was facing away from Riker his arm still under my head and his other at my waste, our body's were pressed together. He was so warm. I had to pull myself away, I need a shower and I'd rather do that while he's sleeping. I gently wriggle out of his arms rummage through my bag for clean clothes and head to the bathroom.
I got dressed straight after and wrapped my hair in a towel, I left the bathroom and Riker was still sleeping, so I decide to climb back in beside him. He had rolled over facing the other way but as soon as I had lay down he turned around and cuddled back in, like he knew I was there? I don't know but he is just so cute.
About ten minutes later he woke up "good morning" he spoke sleepily "how long have you been up?" He asked sitting up in bed, "not too long don't worry" I reply with a smile. He got out of bed and grabbed clothes then headed to the bathroom. Five minutes later there he was fully clothed, no more half nakedness. "So we don't have a show today, is there anything you want to do?" He asked "um how about I show you some of the city?" I suggested as I made the bed, "sounds great, we will get something to eat then head out?" He spoke walking to the other side of the bed and helping me.
"I seen a cafe just up the street a bit why don't we go there for breakfast?" Riker suggested putting his jacket on, I nodded as he looked over at me. "Its gonna be pretty cold here put this on" he said handing me a hooded jumper 'thanks but I'll be" I was cut off "you are going to wear it, I'm not having you freeze" he spoke holding it out for me to put on, I didn't argue I just agreed and put it on. "Thanks" I smiled at him. The cafe was about 5 minutes up the street, so we just walked, I'm glad he gave me the jumper, it is really cold. That's Scotland for you though right?
We finished breakfast and decided to walk around to see everything the day was passing pretty quickly. It got to around 5 and we sat down at a bench in george square. Its crazy because its only been a couple days but I feel like I've known Riker my whole life, I've never told anyone the things I've told him. "Well what do we have here" I heard the drunken words slur together, instantly my heart beat started to get faster and I started to shake. I stood up fast and turned around. "My gorgeous girl... Why did you run away from me" he spoke again trying to keep his balance, "I'm not you girl" I spoke taking a step back. Riker stood up beside me and took my hand "you think he likes you do you? Well he doesn't your worthless look at you! Fat and ugly, good for nothing" he spat at me "back off, just leave her alone" Riker spoke standing in front of me "or what" he spat again Riker shook his head, "she's coming with me" he stumbled forwards and grabbed my hair pulling me. Down pushing Riker out of the way, "let her go" Riker pushed him away from me. The anger in his face as he glared at Riker was unreal. He tried to punch me but Riker stood in the way getting a blow to the ribs. I grab his hand and start running. I don't know why he'd take a hut for me but he did. He'll be in pain my mums boyfriend is pretty strong but I can't get him get hit again. Not because of me.
We got back to the hotel and I took Riker to his room. "Are you okay?" He asked looking at the hole in the knee of my jeans where I had been pulled down "I'll be fine it's just a little cut" I lied it was really sore something is telling me I landed of glass but I need to make sure he is okay. "Let me see it then" I said to him gesturing to his ribs. Hi pulled his top up revealing a bruise, I put my hand on it to check if its broken. He clenched his whole body as soon as my hand reached it. "I think its broken" I speak biting my lip. "I'm sorry this is my fault. I told you that your better off without me!" I continued "stop okay just stop. I want you here, I'm not leaving you with them to fend for yourself. You need to come with me, for the whole UK tour, then you will be away from them, please?" He said grabbing my hand and holding it in both of his. I don't know how to reply to him. Tears start to fill my eyes as I sit beside him on the bed and rest my head on him "of course I'll come with you" I smiled at him tears starting to fall down my face. It might only be for a little while but for that little while I'll be safe. Safe with Riker.
