Part 2?

It was a normal day for Riley running the studio,
"Hi Riley," a voice said, she looks over and sees Emily,
"This came for the mail today," Emily says holding out a envelope
"Thanks Em," she says taking the envelope off Emily's hands,
"Do you need anything else?" Riley asks
"Nope, if you need me I'll be in downstairs," Emily says, she was driving Riley home, then Emily exited the room.

Riley opens up the envelope and sees a fancy piece of paper, reading it, she was invited to a gala.

Riley was at the office thinking of who she should bring to the gala, when a idea who she should bring comes into her head, Alfie!

"So Riley have you thought who you were going to bring to the gala?" Asks Michelle
"Yeah Alfie," Riley says drinking her juice
"Does James know this?" Michelle asks
"Why would James need to know this, I mean me and Alfie are just friends, we're just going there as friends right?" Riley says a bit too fast but Michelle just brushes it off.

It was the day of the gala and Riley was all dressed up in her office waiting for Alfie to arrive as on queue Alfie and Piper, who she had also brought with her, after Piper realised how nervous Riley was and she had asked Piper to look asf tee her so she wouldn't say anything embarrassing or weird she would regret later on, enter her office,
"Ready?" Alfie asks
"Yep," Riley says exiting her office with Piper and Alfie.

Meanwhile James was at the airport terminal getting ready for his flight back to Canada, tomorrow would be James and Riley's 3 year anniversary of when they got back together when James had finished the list for Riley.

It was 9:45 pm and Riley and Alfie arrived at the studio from the gala.

James had finished setting up a anniversary date for Riley in the studio and went down to Java junction and sees Michelle,
"Yo Michelle," he says sitting down in the opposite seat of where she was sitting,
"Oh Hi James, what are you doing here?" Michelle says worried about if James saw Riley and Alfie,
"I came back from London," he says, did none remember they were coming back?
"Oh yeah," Michelle says

"Did you know where Riley is?" James asks, the question Michelle was trying to avoid
"No, what who's Riley?" Michelle lies
"Michelle seriously don't joke, where's Riley?" James says
"I don't know where Riley is, whaattt no," Michelle says
"Michelle don't lie, I know when you lie," James says and Michelle sighs
"Riley was invited to a gala and she went, with Piper" Michelle says excluding the part where Alfie was with her,
"Cool," James says.

Ping goes Michelle's phone,
"Oh it's my mum I got to go," Michelle says
"We'll see you tomorrow," Michelle says walking out,
"Bye," James says and stands up.
While James is walking in the hall studio a, he hears voices from the music room,
"Haha that was so much fun!", it was Riley's, he was going to go to her realising she was in the room beside him, when he hears a voice of a Male,
"Yeah the food and drinks were yummy,", who James recognised as Alfie's, he had stayed behind he wall
"Especially the part where you had bumped into the guy with the posh accent, who turned out to be the host of the party," Riley says laughing and is joined with another laugh, James peers through the wall and they both stop laughing and start to lean in, he felt the pain of hurt and betrayal, was this how Riley felt when he kissed Beth?

"Piper," James says through the phone
"Yes James, are back? Are you at the airpor-" Piper asks, but was cut off by James
"Piper, do you think Alfie and Riley like each other?" James asks
"Truth or the lie?" Piper asks
"Truth Piper," James says
"We'll all the signs he's giving towards Riley, he created a dance, you know I heard when you didn't pick up her call Alfie came inside her office and told her everything's okay, well Riley has been helping him and they've been looking at each other, like a lot,"  Piper says, but James just thought, was it a bad idea to go to London? Did Riley get tired of me?

"James? James!" Piper yells through the phone
"Are you still here or?" Piper says
"Oh yeah, Piper I'll be home in 10 minutes," James says.

"Bye Alfie," Riley says walking to studio a, she wasn't mad at Alfie of what had happened, well kind of, she had cheated on James.

Riley enters studio A and sees food, table and lights that you would set up for a date, by his time Riley was confused, but shrugged it off and entered her office.

There was a notice attached to her table with her name on it, curious she took it and opened the letter,
Dear Riley,
Hey it's um me James,
I hope you had fun with Alfie.
I arrived yesterday and
you might be wondering
why there's a dinner and
candles In studio A, I was
setting up a date for us,
I thought you were teaching a class so I waited in Java junction,
For you
I saw Michelle and had a
chat with her, apparently
you were with Piper at a gala.
I came back to see you with Alfie and you guys kissed, I know I did the exact thing but I regret it with all my life, but you know what the sad thing was?
You didn't pull away.

By this time Riley was crying by now but kept reading

I kept watching you guys and
you looked at him like he was
your everything
Riley if you like him I won't
get in the way of you two
from getting in a relationship.
Ps; happy 3 year anniversary :/

Riley scrunches up the paper and throws it on the wall
"NOOO!" She sobs and folds her arms in front of her, she felt a bump on the envelope and opens it to see a silver ring with a piece of paper attracted to it.

I will always love you.

He was going to propose.
