Chapter.30.Rotten Peaches. Phone Calls. &&Prostitutes.<3.

Riley's Point of View.

After the nightmare last night, I can admit I didn't calm down until Lucas was there. That probably sounds bad but in all honesty there's something about him that seems to put me at ease and makes me feel safe. Funnily enough, especially since he pranked me so much. Oh the irony. That's irony... right? Either way it was surprising to me that I had so easily trusted Lucas, it isn't like he makes it hard. He's reliable and loyal.

2 qualities that are hard to find these days. Now if you had told me a few months ago I'd be spewing this crap well I'd have you checked into a hospital for evaluation. No hard feelings or anything. Something else I realized last night was that at least for a little while I might need someone sleeping with me. Which wouldn't be hard, Maya's always up for the challenge. I hate that it has to be that way, but that dream terrified me to no end and I'd truly not like to go there again. I woke up at 8 o'clock this morning when my phone started to ring. Of course it was my peaches.

I would have snuck out of the room and answered it at the time if I could... however, I was in the boa constrictors grasp. Our legs were intertwined, my head was buried into his chest and his arms around me and anytime I'd move he'd pull me tighter into his chest. Luckily my phone was only on vibrate so it didn't wake him up, and surprisingly neither did my shaking and gymnast techniques. 10 minutes, 8 phone calls and 6 text messages later I'm tip toeing out of my room. You could say my best friend was crazy and obsessive, I'd call her my other half and a kindred spirit. Pretty sure I did something similar if not the same thing when she first went on a date with my uncle. The first half of our conversation was me chastising her about going on a date with my uncle because... he's my uncle. Secondly, the gossip. The good stuff, we're gossipy whores when it comes to our personal lives-but only with one another.

I only have 1 secret that I've withheld from her and that was the events of the party. I really just don't know what to say, and I don't really like thinking about it let alone talking about it. I know that, especially after last night Lucas will want some answers as to who this guy is. "RILEY!"

"Good morning peaches."

Plopping myself down on the couch I sigh happily thinking about the events at the waterfall last night. "Is there a reason why you didn't answer my phone calls? Reply to my texts? You better have a very good excuse! I crawled out of bed with Josh for this you stinking rotten peach!"

"MAYA PENELOPE! We do not use those words!" It caused a terrible riff in our friendship last year. We were mad at each other for 5 whole minutes! The world pretty much ended that day. Night turned to day, the sky turned green and the grass turned blue. It was... terrible.

Sighing heavily, hearing a few deep breaths from her end of the phone she's starting to relax. "I'm sorry you're right. You are not a rotten peach, you have a small bruise but I'm sure you have a good reason for not answering my calls."

"Yeah well, I don't know about Josh but Lucas makes it extremely difficult to get out of bed. And before you insinuate nothing I said was meant to be dirty."

She lets out a depressed huff as if I've ruined all of her fun. "Well Josh likes to be the big spoon." I didn't really even need to know that, but when has that ever stopped her? "Anyways back onto the important part of this conversation. Your date, how'd it go? Kiss? Yes or no? Second date? Would you talk already?"

Giving her a good eye roll as if she could actually see it, I sit up straighter on the couch. "Well now that you're done rambling I'd be happy to. He took me to this waterfall 2 hours away, completely secluded and so beautiful." I tell her everything about last night, how he promised cliché and that's what I got but how much I loved it anyways. And how we didn't even get 10 minutes into the date before he kissed me.
