Rivals And Lovers

Chapter 4

Riley :
Forgot to tell you: don't forget your swimming trunks

Lucas:
Uh oh

Riley sat on the edge of the dock. Her feet where dangling in the water as she saw the moon glistening on the water. Her hands were rested behind her as she enjoyed the view. She was humming the lyrics of an Ed Sheeran song. She didn't come here a lot but it did made her feel at peace. Maybe a little more then her balcony in her room. She heard a camera click behind her and she snapped her head towards the sound. Lucas looked at the picture on the screen of his camera. "Looks good." He said. "How long have you bin stand in there?" She asked. "You have a beautiful voice" he said. "That doesn't answer my question" Riley said crossing her arms. "Not too long." He shook his shoulder and sat down next to her. "So this is your place huh?" Riley nodded and looked around. "During the day people are here to get their boat or clean it or just shine with it. I come here at night it and watch the moon shine on the water" Riley said. Lucas followed her view to look over the water. "And I go swimming sometimes" she said taking of her sun dress revealing her colorful bikini. "So that's the reason I had to bring my swinging trunks" Lucas said. Riley nodded. "It was hot today, a swim won't mind right?" She stood up. "I dare you to come in as well" she said before jumping in the cold water. Lucas chuckled and she came up. "Come on,most not that cold. Or are you scared your ego will get wet?" Riley asked.  Lucas scoffed. "Oh now you're getting it. He pulled off his shirt and jumped into the water as well. She giggled and he got up for under her. Making her raise above the water because her legs were over his shoulders. "What are you gonna do?" She laughed. Lucas bend over making her fall into the water. She screamed before falling in and Lucas laughed. She came out and spewed out some water. She then splattered some on him. There was a competition of throwing each other, pushing each other and splattering water. They swum under water together. They had a fun time.

They were laying on the dock after swimming for about an hour. They were looking at the stars and the moon in the sky. "This is one of the few places in New York where you can actually see the stars" Riley said. Lucas smiled. "Do you know I used to live in Texas?" Riley giggled. "Wow, you're a cowboy?" She asked. Lucas chuckled. "Not everyone from Texas is a cowboy" he disagreed. "Whatever you say" Riley said. "I've liked the past few days" Riley said. Lucas turned his head to look over to her. "So did I" he said. "If we never got partnered up I don't think we'd ever have a descent conversation" Lucas said. Riley nodded. "Yeah...." There was another long silence like the day before. "Do your parents know you're here?" Riley asked. Lucas laughed. "Oh no, god no" he said. "If they do they'd kill me" Lucas said. "Still not allowed to hang out with a Matthews?" Riley asked. Lucas nodded. "Still not allowed to hang out with a Friar?" He asked as well. Riley nodded. "Too bad, cause I'm liking these hang outs" he said. Riley looked over to him and blushed, Even though he couldn't see. Riley looked away back to the sky. "So let's get to know each other better" she said. "Ok...what's your name?" Riley laughed. "You know my name" she said laughing. "But your full name" Lucas said. "Oh....my full name is Riley Eleanor Matthews" Riley said. "Your turn" Lucas sighed. "Mine is Lucas Graham Friar" he admitted. Riley chuckled. "Wow, classic" he nodded. "So your personality?" He asked. "Well everyone says I'm always so quirky and clumsy. But I also strongly believe in a lot of things." Riley explained. "Sounds interesting. Any interests further on in life?" Lucas asked. "Hey! You're supposed to say your personality" Riley protested. "Fine, um...everyone expects me to be all cool and sportive like a jock. But I care about grades and my friends. And I hate the way they act towards nerds. Cause honestly they could be pretty cool as well. But now: your future" Riley groaned and rolled over. "I feel like my parents have my future all planned out. My dad wants me to take over the business" Riley said. "I get you, my sister knocked it off when she went to collage for fashion designer so now my dad expects me to take it over" there fell an awkward silence between them. "Well...if it does happen....I don't want the same rivalry between as our parents" Lucas nodded. "Yeah...I agree"

Riley sneaked into the house. She had taken off her shoes so they wouldn't make sound threw the big hallways. With some extra cash the guards would shut their mouths. She and Lucas had talked for another two hours before Riley realized that it was midnight and she was horribly late. They both left in a hurry. But they shared a hug. Riley could still feel the tingles when she hugged him. She hated the cold feeling when she had let go to run to her car.  

She tip toed threw the hallway on her way to their room. "You're late" Riley jumped up when she heard her little brothers voice in the hallway. "Auggie! You're supposed to be in bed!" Riley said in a hushed tone. "So are you! " he defended himself crossing his arms. "I'll give you the new skateboard if you shut up" Riley whispered. "Riley?" Riley squeezed her eyes close defeated before she turned around to face her mother. "Hey mom, I was just going to the bathroom" Riley lied. Her mother crossed her arms. Auggie pointed towards Riley. "You lied to Topanga!" He said with a gasp. Riley shot him a death glare and giggling, he slipped back in his room. Topanga crossed her arms. "Where were you?" She asked. "I was out with Maya" Riley lied once again. "Then why didn't you pick up your phone?" Topanga asked. "Um...it died during the day" Riley said shrugging her shoulders. "Go to your room, it's to late to discuss this." Riley nodded and she ran towards her bedroom. She shut the door behind her and sighed. Thank god her father wasn't home.
