"Why did you do it Riker?"

"I didn't do anything"

"So you and a girl go into a bedroom, drunk i may add, and she comes up with extremely messy sex hair but nothing happened"

"Yes"

"That’s bullshit Riker"

"It’s the truth though"

"I seriously doubt that"

We were still sat on the hill after the effects of the drugs had worn off, rydel had her earphones in meaning me and Riker could talk in private.

"I promise, nothing happened"

I looked at him with a blank expression, still not believing his ridiculous lie.

"I’m still a virgin for fucks sake Dana"

"Doesn’t mean nothing happened though"

"I’m completely inexperienced Dana, I’d never even kissed a girl before we came here"

"Again, i seriously doubt that"

"Dana give me a break, just because you clearly do have some experience at your age doesn't mean everyone else does"

"Don’t be a twat Riker" i spat in his face before getting up and walking away.

"What the fuck did i do this time?" he got up and jogged after me, grabbing my arm making me turn around to face him.

"Just because you clearly have some experience" i mimicked his voice

"And..?"

"Riker you basically called me a fucking slut"

"I don't understand you, all we ever fucking do is argue because you get pissy over everything"

"Stop saying the wrong thing then you douche"

"I can't. I don't know what will set you off and put you in a bad mood with me"

"Stop talking then and stop going into bedrooms with drunk girls when you're drunk and we'll be fine"

"We’ll never be fine though, there's always something with you"

"Well maybe this is our thing then"

"What?" he looked down at me

"Maybe we're just destined to not get along" i sighed

"Or maybe we're destined to work through this shit and be happy"

"I doubt that"

"Well at least try" he pulled me into a hug, "for me"

I rested my head on his chest.

"Dana, promise me if i do something wrong you'll tell me about it because obviously I’m clueless when it comes to things like this and i really wanna make our friendship work"

I sighed into his chest, "me too"

He kissed the top of my head, "come on, let’s get rydel and then go home"

"You can sleep at mine tonight if you want? My mums not coming back" i suggested as we walked over to rydel, hand in hand.

"Sure, let's walk her back and then walk to yours"

~~~~~

Forty minutes later we arrived back at my house. The streets were dark and the air was cold. All i wanted was to get in bed and get warm, but Riker had another idea.

"Dana, you know you have a hot tub?"

"It’s my mums"

"It’s ours now"

"No"

"Well, what about the pool?"

"It’s the middle of fucking January and you wanna go outside and get wet?"

"Bath?"

I raised my eyebrow at him, "no"

"Duvet in front of the TV?"

"Deal" i laughed, running upstairs and grabbing the duvet off of my mum’s bed because it was bigger than mine.

I walked back downstairs to see Riker lying on the couch opposite the fire which he had lit. I went and lay next to him, pulling the duvet over us.

Half way through watching home alone, Riker wrapped his arms around me.

"Dana" he whispered, checking if i was still awake i assumed.

I rolled over so that i as facing him.

"What are we doing?"

"We’re watching home alone"

"No Dana, like me and you"

"I don't know"

"What are we?"

"What do you want us to be?"

"I’m not sure, you?"

"I want us to be quiet because this is my favourite movie"

"That’s not what i meant" he laughed as i rolled back over to watch the film, his arms still wrapped around me.
