Tapout

Choose. Banquet Part 2.

YAY! 15 VOTES! I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS CHAPTER!
I recommend playing the song once they leave the banquet.

Pretty little mama lookin at ya like that
Make ya wanna slide on in like, "Girl, what's up"
Yeah tonight is bottoms up
Get em up
Tonight is bottoms up
Get em up

Lucas and I are dancing together after we finally ate. There was a lot of other filler crap in the middle. But my man did win MVP. This is not really my taste in music but this just gives me a reason to touch him. I am so in love with him, it is almost ridiculous.

Girl I gotta tip my hat
Never thought a country song would make you move like that, yeah
And she's doing it in daisy dukes
Girl she's got ya tappin on a boys shoulder
Hey dog check this out
Man, it's how them girls do it in the dirty south, yeah
She'll have you on your knee, "Can I marry you?"

My back is pressed up against his chest, his hands are caressing my sides and my right hand is snaked around his neck. "I love you."

I crane my neck to look at him, "I love you." I'm going to miss this. Being with him, not fighting, not training. Well not training as much, I still train but not as long. Josh says I've gotten better defensively since I've been training Lucas. Johnson is going to be coming over to help me train, since I'll fight at least 3 times on New Year's Eve, into New Year's morning I have to be fast to end the matches quickly and to not get the shit kicked out of me. In just a few days I'll have to stay focused on training and in slightly over a week I'll be meeting with Felix.

"What's wrong baby girl?"

I plaster a smile, "Nothing. I'm here with you." I turn around and remember Maya's words, mark your territory. I plant a kiss on his neck, "Lipstick stain."

"I know I should probably wipe it off but, I like people knowing I'm taken. Taken with you. You've stolen my heart Riley." The feeling was mutual, more than mutual. "I can't lose you."

I know where this is going, so I gaze into his eyes. "One thing before we change the topic of conversation, I will always be with you baby. Even when I'm not beside you," I placed my hand over his heart, "You have my heart. I will always be yours, always."

Lucas' Point of View

I will always be yours, always. God I hope so. I'm not blind, a lot of people see our relationship as nothing more than a fling. I'm the goody good guy, star football player, great grades, and never gotten into trouble. Riley is the bad girl, rides a motorcycle, gets into fights and constantly finds herself in trouble.

We are exact opposites.

But what people don't know is that we balance each other out. She's perfect for me and I for her, she brought me to life and she likes to say I'm saving hers. Riley makes me stronger, she gives me strength even whenever I feel helpless. Like when I see her in the ring, if she gets hit I just want to run to her and kill the person who hurt her, but knowing that I can't I just take one look at her and I'm okay. I swallow my fear. "Hey Sparky."

"Yeah baby?"

"Just know I will always fight to get back to you."

My heart races and stops all at the same time. The notion is incredibly perfect, but the idea that she could be taken away is a giant pill to swallow. "Oh and, can we exchange Christmas gifts after NYKO?"

"Sure, why?" I got Riley's gift a few days ago, and even though her statement probably means nothing, the fact that she decided to do this after knockout's makes me happy. She has hope she'll remember me, as long as everything goes smoothly.
