Chapter.64.Fighting Friends && Ice Cream Pints.<3

"Lucas Friar, I swear to the heavens if you ask me 'if I'm alright' again, I will beat you to a bloody pulp."

My hand rests gently against my chest while I feign a look of love... well I don't really have to fake it. Anyways, "I love it when you talk sweet to me, princess. You know how much I love it." When she rolls her eyes, I don't even try to stifle my laughter. "I'm sorry, I'll stop asking. I'm just worried because I love you and you've had a pint of ice cream and are wanting more."

She shrugs and cuddles into my chest, "I love cookies 'n cream so sue me! And you know what, I will eat as much ice cream as I want and I'll get fat and you have to love me because that's the way that love works and you'll just have to deal with it."

I nod my head while running my fingers through her hair. "That is absolutely correct sweet cheeks, I will love you no matter what?"

She sniffles and it hurts my heart. Riley has been really strong all day, not at all acknowledging the fact that a man she had reported for assault is going to be walking around like a free man knowing Riley was the reason he was drug in for questioning to the police station. Now, I think she's going to be using ice cream for the reason why she is so sad. This could get dramatic. "You won't love me anymore if I get really fat!" What the hell? I quite literally just said the opposite.

"Riley –

"That's why you named me sweet cheeks." She sobs and clutches onto my shirt. Alright, so is it her time of the month? Or is she just genuinely upset about everything that happened today? I'll never know because there's no way in hell I'm going to ask her that will end well for no one. Riley will be pissed and I'll be in the dog house.

I peck her temple and calmly place my finger over her lips so she can't interrupt me again. "I did not name you sweet cheeks because of your baby fat." She sniffled again and used my shirt to wipe her tears, yes the one I'm wearing. "I named you sweet cheeks because I loved and love your dimples. They're one of my favorite things about you. And I will love you no matter what princess, don't think otherwise."

"Even if you have to roll me around to get me places?"

I stifle a laugh by biting my lip. If she were looking at me, it would be so obvious that I was wanting to laugh and she'd be smacking me silly. "Even if you blow up like Violet from Willy Wonk and the Chocolate Factory." That earns me a well-deserved giggle, which in turn makes me smile because I love hearing her laugh so much. "Now, don't ever think I won't love you. Even if we argue, I will always love you no matter what. Deal?"

"I love you too. And I'll always love you too, unless you don't get me some sort of ice cream." I chuckle and peck her temple a few more times before sauntering into the kitchen. Cory and Topanga are doing something with the youth group at church today, which Auggie is involved in. So we have the place to ourselves, unfortunately we didn't get to go eat at my spot because Riley gave me specific instructions while we were pulling out of the parking lot.

'Go to the closest gas station so I can buy a butt load of ice cream and then drive me home. You are going to stay and watch 'The Office' with me until you can't cringe from Michael's awkwardness anymore.'

So how could I turn that down? Answer, I couldn't. Either way we're enjoying time to ourselves. "THE FUN HAS ARRIVED!" We were enjoying times to ourselves. Note to self, secretly steal Maya and Josh's key. While groaning, I begrudgingly turn towards the front door. Maya has her hands up in a high v position and is smiling widely. "Where's my girl?"

"Gone. Forever. Only I know where she is and you can't get to her." I reply with my arms crossed. I had just completely forgotten about the ice cream in my hands... dead giveaway.
