What do I have to do? (A Riker Lynch/ R5 love story)

Christmas is coming (part two)

Lucy's POV

"Thank you very much" I say after hearing what had to be said. I hang up the phone and turn to Ross. "Well...?" I ask. "I got it!" he exclaims. "Ross that is great! What did I tell you?" I say as I embrace him. "What did they want to talk to you about?" he asks. "I have been offered the role of Mack" I explain. His face lights up like the Christmas tree in the living room. We hug again before heading back in to tell everyone else. "What was that about?" asks Mark. "Basically, you know I had that audition about two weeks ago. The director just phoned and... I got the role!" Ross explains before being bombarded by his family. "Dude, that's great!" Riker says as he claps him on the back. I make a small coughing noise. Everyone turns. "The director spoke with me as well. I have been offered the role of Mack. She is the female lead" I say naturally as I move back to the couch. Riker spins round to face me. "YOU DIDN'T TELL ME YOU HAD AN AUDITION!" He exclaims as he runs to my side and picks me up and places me over his should while I start to squeal and bat his back. "RIKER ANTHONY LYNCH PUT ME DOWN THIS INSTANCE!" I say forcefully. Without seeing his face I could tell that he had his mischievous smirk on. "Stop smirking at me" I say as I turn as much I can to face him. "What are you talking about?" he asks innocently before dropping me back onto the couch. I playfully hit his arm in retaliation. I lean up and kiss him as he sits next to me. "Anyway, I didn't actually have an audition but when Ross auditioned he had some... difficulties with the girl they had originally so he asked if I could do it instead. I guess the director liked what he saw" I say as everyone calms down. We finish up with the presents before we head out to celebrate Ross's and my triumph.

We make our way to a restaurant slightly outside of town. However when we got there we were met by a person who I though I would never see (and never wanted to see) again. "Lucy! There you are" my 'dad' says in a voice which was meant to be full of joy. I feel Riker tense up next to me. "Don't worry about him" I mutter as I try and make my way past him and into the restaurant. He grabs my arm and turns me round. "Now, that's no way to treat your dad now is it?" he asks. I try and pull my arm out of his grasp but it didn't work. "Let. Go. Of. Me." I spit at him. His face breaks into a horrible smile. You know the kind used by the bed guy in films when they are about to explain how they get what the want? "Now why would I do that? When my daughter has turned into such a pretty girl?" he coos in my ear before move a stray hair. He runs his hand down my neck and lets the other rest on my waist. No... He can't touch me there. I only like it when Riker does that. I think as his hands continue to wander over my body. I start to shift around whimpering slightly. Suddenly he is no longer there. I look around to see Riker beating him up. "Nobody does that to my girlfriend!" he exclaims as he continues. I move to him and pull him away. The older man scrambles up from the floor and leaves in a hurry. I look back at Riker who breaks down in my arms. His face buried in my shoulder. I hold him close and gently rub his back. "What would I do without you, babe?" I whisper as he regains composure. He smiles slightly as we follow the others in. The rest of the time was spent eating and having fun and having probably the best Christmas yet. 

As we exit the restaurant I intertwine my fingers with Riker's. "I can't wait for us to have our own Christmas" he whispers I smile slightly. "Me neither" I reply with the knowledge that we will have so many more moments like this.
