Kiss Me ~ Rilaya

Based off this prompt: "Kiss Me" 

~set in their second year of high school, riley and lucas are dating~

Maya tentatively pushed open the window and climbed into the Bay Window. Riley was sitting in the middle, and moved over to make room for Maya; she was staring straight ahead, tear tracks staining her cheeks.

"Riles, what's wrong?" Maya asked seriously; she hated seeing Riley this upset, and she hated not knowing why.

Riley turned to face Maya, tears still in her eyes. "You lied to me," Riley said quietly, her voice breaking slightly.

"What? Riley I didn't- I would never lie to you," Maya replied firmly.

Riley shook her head and gave a small sad laugh, wiping her eyes, "I know you lied about not liking Lucas at the Ski Lodge last year, and I know you lied when you said Uncle Josh was the other person you liked, and I know you don't like Lucas anymore, and I know that I'm the person that you like."

Maya's heart skipped a beat, and she took a moment before she spoke, "How do you know?"

"I'm not an idiot, Maya, I knew something was up, I just don't know what," Riley said holding back tears, "but I knew if you hadn't told me, the only other person you would've told was Zay."

"So he told you?"

"Sort of. He told me half of it." Riley replied.

"And you guessed the rest?" Maya prompted with a sniff.

"Yeah, once he told me the story, it didn't take long for me to realise who the person you liked was."

Maya smiled, and wiped her own teary eyes, "Of course it didn't, Riles," she commented affectionately.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner, Maya?" Riley asked, her voice breaking.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you, I just wanted you to be happy, and I still do."

"I know, Maya," Riley replied softly with a little nod, her eyes darting away from Maya for a moment.

"Why are you crying then, Riley?" Maya asked her desperately, grabbing her hands and giving them a squeeze.

"Because I can't stand the thought that I've hurt you for so long," Riley admitted

"You didn't, Riley! You never did!" Maya told her, her own voice rising. "It doesn't hurt," she added, quieter, "not as long as you're in my life, then it never hurts, Riles."

Riley smiled at Maya, her eyes shining, and Maya smiled right back, her eyes shining just as bright.

"I broke up with Lucas," Riley said after a minute or two.

"What?" Maya said, taken aback.

Riley shrugged, "It was a long time coming, if we're both honest."

"Riley, I'm happy being you're best friend, I truly am, if that was for me, you really didn't need to."

"Yeah I did, because I was never in love with Lucas, Maya, don't you see," Riley placed a hand on Maya's cheek and caressed it softly, "it's always been you."

Maya's breath was caught in her throat, "Riley, are you sure?" Her voice was so quiet, so scared, so vulnerable, yet so hopeful.

Riley smiled, "Peaches?"

"Honey?"

"Kiss me, and then see if you need to ask that question again." Riley told her firmly.

Her heart racing, Maya leant in tentatively, until they were so close that she could feel Riley's breath on her lips, and then they were kissing.

And it was glorious; everything about it, how soft Riley's lips felt against Maya, the way they fitted together, how one of Maya's hands was in Riley's hair and the other on her waist, the way Riley was simultaneously caressing Maya's cheek with her thumb and kissing her like there was no tomorrow, how alive they both felt, and most of all how it was just the two of them, in the Bay Window, the centre of their world, the place that had first brought them together, kissing.

When they finally stopped, their hearts were racing, and their breathing was heavy, never before had they been kissed, or kissed someone like that; they caught each other's eye and both began giggling, because neither of them knew what to say, for it was utterly wonderful that there was no words.

Maya leant her forehead against Riley's, breathing in and quieting down, a wide smile spreading across both their faces, as Maya shut her eyes. Riley entwined her hand with Maya's.

"Maya," she whispered, getting her to open her eyes, kissing her softly, their lips just brushing.

Maya opened her eyes, "Yeah Riles?"

Riley kissed the back of Maya's hand, eyes locked on hers, "I love you,"

Maya beamed at her, all words lost, and kissed her again; making sure that Riley understood exactly what the kiss meant.

I love you, and I will always love you.
