The Next Step: Jiley later on

Chapter 4 Reunited

A week later

Riley's POV

James and I were just going over the details for the reunion party and so far, Michelle and Eldon, Daniel and Amanda, Emily and Hunter, Giselle and Theo, Chloe and her husband, West and Stephanie was coming up from Los Angles, California but then had to fly back the morning after the party due to a movie job and Thalia was flying in and staying with us for a few days, have all told me that they are planning on coming. The party is in two days and I have the food planned out and already got the party supplies.

I stayed home during the last few days to get our huge house cleaned and then I go to work from 6pm to 1am. I am exhausted and I have felt dizzy for the past few days but Internationals are in 3 weeks and I finally found out where they are being held. I guess they forgot to put the paper that said the location for this year in my envelope. It is in Sydney, Australia this year, But now I have to go through the stress of getting plane tickets for 14 people.

I arrive at my office at 6:45 pm because of an accident on the highway. I was on the website to buy tickets for the plane ride when my phone started to ring. It was James' mom. "Hi Debra, How are you?" I asked. "I am great, Thank you. I was wondering if you could come to dinner tomorrow night? I would love to see you and I am sure Piper would like some girl time." She said. "Umm.. Ok sure, I will tell James." "Oh, Can I speak to James, I called him earlier but he didn't pick up." She told me. "Sorry, but I'm not with James, I am at
the studio." I answered. "Oh ok, Don't over do it Riley." "I won't Debra." "Goodbye sweetie."

I arrived home later then usual and decided I wouldn't wake James because he has been so busy choreographing routines. He leaves early and I stay late so I haven't really seen him. I just wish I was in his arms and him holding me tight, I miss that a lot.

Debra's house (Still Riley's POV)

James and I pull into his mothers house and get out walking hand and hand. Before he knocks on the door, he kisses me gently. "You look stunning tonight." He tells me as I blush. "You look even cuter when you blush." "James, I want to do this more often." I tell him. He looked confused. "You mean eat dinner at my mother's house?" He asks and I laugh at him.

"No, I want to spend more time with you as your wife not as dance owners." I told him. "Ah I see." he said and smiled. Just then Debra opened the door. "I thought I saw your car." She said. "Come in you two."

We follow Debra to the Dining room where Piper was waiting. She looked at James and I and then looked away. I could tell that she still felt bad about what happened. During the meal, It was just Debra, James and I talking and Piper just stayed quiet. After dinner I offered to help do dishes but Debra insisted I go and watch the sunset with James and Piper.

I walk outside to see Piper leaning on James shoulder. I walk over and sit by Piper as James stands up and goes inside.

It was quiet for awhile before Piper spoke. "Riley?" I looked at her. "Listen I am so sorry for what I said a few weeks ago." "Piper it's ok, Don't even worry about it" I quoted James and She laughed at me. I gave her a long hug.

"Hey, Do you want to come over tomorrow to help me set up a party for the old A-troupers?" I asked her. "Really?" She asked. "Yea." She gave me another hug, James came out and sat by me. "Can I have my wife back?" He teased Piper.

I let go of Piper and kissed James. "Better?" I asked him. "Better" He smirked. We thanked Debra for dinner and left her house to drive home. "Are you excited about the party?" James asked. "Yes I am." I told him happily. We went home and had another intimate night.

James' POV

Last night was fun. I spent time with my girl and also saw my family. Today was the reunion party and I was so excited to see my bro's. I haven't seen them in forever. Riley has been working so hard and she deserves to have some fun.
