Thanksgiving Part 1

Chapter 29

"Hey sweetheart. Happy Thanksgiving!" Lucas wrapped his arms around her tiny waist and kissed her.

"Happy Thanksgiving." She laid her head on his chest, and it was clear she wasn't ready to be up yet.

"Someone's still sleepy!"

Riley put out her bottom lip and whined. "Yeah."

"I'm sorry baby, but we have your family's thing at noon." He reached over on the counter and grabbed a mug. "Here sweetie, I made you some coffee, and i'll go start the shower for you." He kissed her head and walked to the bathroom. The brunette smiled and followed him while sipping her coffee.

"I know what i'm thankful for." She grinned as he walked towards her.

"What's that?" He kissed her cheek.

"This coffee." She joked. "I'm already feeling more awake." She set the mug down and walked towards the shower. His jaw was still dropped and he spanked her as she moved past him.

"That's what you get. Keep it up!" The brown eyed girl blew him a kiss and he closed the bathroom door.

She was finally able to wash her entire head, without having to worry about her incision getting wet and she sang for the first time in awhile.

We could just go home right now, or maybe we could stick around for just one more drink. Oh yeah.
Get another bottle out, let's shoot the breeze, sit back down for just one more drink. Oh yeah.
Here's to us, here's to love, all the times that we messed up. Here's to you, fill the glass, cause the last few days have gone to fast. Let's give 'em hell, wish everybody well. Here's to us. Here's to us.

Lucas was standing outside the door, just simply taking in her words and enjoying her voice.

We stuck it out this far together. Put our dreams through the shredder, let's toast 'cause things got better.
Everything could change like that and all these years go by so fast but, nothing lasts forever.

He got to thinking about what Josh had said when he heard the shower turn off.

Riley was going through clothes in her closet. Thanksgiving was always tricky for her, if you wore jeans they had to be a size bigger and she couldn't wear a form fitting shirt. She saw her over sized light pink sweater and pulled it out along with a black tank top and leggings. The brunette loved this sweater it had lace on the bottom and was heavy where she wouldn't need a jacket. The brown eyed girl grabbed her suede ankle boots that Lucas had gotten her and put on her black turban then swung her curled hair to one side of her body.

"Babe, you ready? It's 11:00. I know you were wanting to help out your-" He turned around and she was standing in the hallway digging through her purse. His heart began to race as he gazed upon her beauty. "Wow, you look incredible!" He kissed her cheek.

"Thank you. I try." He placed his hand on the small of her back.

"No you don't."

"Oh, hold on." She turned to face him and straightened his tie. "You look so handsome!" His maroon colored dress shirt looked like it was going to rip at the seams. And his butterflies were fluttering in his stomach. "Are you gonna be able to play football in that?"

"Football?"

"Yeah, our family puts on a game. You don't have to play, but I figured you'd take my spot." He smiled and ran to get sweatpants and a t-shirt.
