Becoming Riley

Chapter 7: Yawns Are Contagious?

Freshman year has came and gone for Riley, she and Liam have learned how to cope with their home life much better than ever before. Ignoring most of the yelling and screaming and bitching they kept to themselves at home. Acting like robots almost.

Riley had been allowed to go to Anastasia's house several times over the past year. Reluctantly allowing her step daughter to have fun Michelle okay'ed it for the both of them to start going to friends' houses. Just with one clause. They had to inform her and James everything they did over there and where they were going before they went anywhere or did anything.

It was July, a month before classes started and Anastasia had Riley over to hang out in her pool.

"So, I've been meaning to ask but I just didn't want to bother you. But it irks me to this day. Why did you faint that one time freshman year when you saw me test my blood sugar?" Anastasia asked while floating on a raft tanning. Without glancing towards her Riley yawned. Anastasia in turn, yawned as well.

"Are you mocking me?" Riley asked while splashing Anastasia.

"What? No! Yawns are contagious. Did you know that?" She replies getting off her raft and splashing Riley back. The splashing continued for a brief moment before Riley blurted "so are you". They both stopped moving in the water.

"What?"

"I didn't say anything. What?" Riley starts to blush. Anastasia heard her loud and clear. She wanted to hear it again.

"Can you please repeat what you just said." Anastasia strolls through the cool glistening water to get closer to Riley and hear her reply back with "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, shut up." Anastasia smirks and cups Riley's face with her soft velvety hands and kisses her. Riley lifted her hands to put them on Anastasia's as they kissed passionately for several moments. Anastasia glided her tongue on Riley's tongue and Riley liked it. Riley didn't know what was happening. She felt this sudden rush in her heart and in her downstairs area. Riley grabbed Anastasia's hips whilst still kissing her and pulled her closer to where their bodies were pressing against each other. Anastasia's breasts were pushed against Riley's as they collided. Riley cranked her head to kiss Anastasia's neck, nibbling slowly.

"I've dreamed of this moment forever" Riley moans as she glides down Anastasia's neck. Just as Riley was about to lower Anastasia's bikini top Anastasia's father bursts through the back door of the house.

"Riley! Your dad is calling!" Mr. Stephens shouted unaware of how close the two girls were in the pool. Riley immediately jumped up from her position and out of the pool to grab her cellphone. "Shit" she whispers as she opens the call log. 7 missed calls and all have voice mails left. Riley listens to each of them in a row from oldest to newest.

First one: "Riley, it's your father. Answer the damn phone. I need you home soon. Michelle doesn't feel like cooking so you need to. Call back ASAP."

Second one: "Fuck you Riley. PICK UP THE DAMN PHONE!!!!"

Third one: He's more intoxicated, he's slurring. "You fucking c-c-cunt, how fucking dare you do-do-do this to your family. We wanted a damn meal and-and you're fucking ignoring us? Fuck you, fuck your friend, fuck... just fuck everything. Don't bother coming home for a day. I don't want to-to see your face."

Fourth one: "I swear to God, if you don't come home in the next ten minutes I'm going to drive over there and kick your ass young lady. Your father has called three times already. Pick up the fucking phone, it's not that fucking hard." That one was Michelle.

Fifth one: "Okay, I'm uh I'm sorry for saying those mean things I just-just-just uhhh shit what was I saying again? Oh yeah, COME FUCKING HOME OR ELSE RILE-RILEY." Stuttering, yep, that's James now.

Sixth one: "You are in so much trouble. We've been trying to get a hold of you for the past half hour. ANSWER YOUR DAMN PHONE RILEY."

Yep, all this within thirty minutes. Riley didn't even bother with the seventh voicemail. She already knew what it involved. It involved James drunkenly yelling into the phone telling her to fuck off and get home to cook them food and she could hear Michelle in the background clear as day bitching. Riley closed her flip phone and sighed a little too loud.

"What was all that about?" Anastasia says as she dries off.

"Oh, just um... Ridiculous family problems ya know.. Hey, can I spend the night?" Riley asks Anastasia.

"Heck yeah!! Let's go ask Pops," Anastasia tosses a dry towel to Riley as she leaps inside the house. This day went from great to bad in a matter of minutes.
