LOVE IS 2 Revealing Riley

Chapter 11

Want some breakfast?" Jack says as he holds up some bacon. I think, great way to change the subject captain obvious.

"No thanks, I can't have to go to work they are training me on the kiln today. I hope I don't burn the place down." Ayana laughs.

"You will do great! What time are you off?" Kaylee asks.

" It's only for two hours."

"Ok come back here after we are planning to have a barbeque." Jack says. He looks at me to make sure it's ok. I nod quickly.

"Ok sounds like fun, Riley thanks for a fun night!"

"You're more than welcome!" I smile at her and she surprises me with a hug and she leaves. I look at Kaylee and smile at her.

"Riley I love seeing you like this!" Kaylee beams at me making me blush.

"What if I am reading too much into this."

"You're not! I know her better than anyone and she is smitten with you!"

"I want to get to know her better, like what she likes things like that."

"Well she is a simple girl, you are doing everything right especially the movies, she really loves baby chimps, books, blowpops, and sunflower seeds."

"Baby chimps?" I laugh.

"Obsessed!" She laughs. "When she was little her daddy took her to a fair and she got to take a picture holding one."

"Thanks for the info Kaylee, I may just have to look for a baby chimp stuffed animal." My phone starts to ring, I excuse myself to answer it and notice that it's Tony that is calling me. "Tony! What's up man!"

"Riley my dear how are you?"

"Great and you?"

"Good. Good. Question what did you think of the photographer from the other night?"

"I thought she is amazing!"

"Right! I thought so too, that's why we are going to offer her the job!"

"That's great!"

"I wanted to know if I could drop off a package to your Brother's house only I have no idea where he lives."

"You can drop it off here, Jack is at my place right now."

"Great I'll drop it off in a few minutes. It's for Ayana, Oh those photos are smoldering."

"Thanks Tony see you soon." I hang up and head back to the kitchen. "She got the job!"

"Really?!!" Kaylee shouts.

"Yeah Tony is coming to drop off some sort of package to her."

"That's so exciting! "Kaylee squeals. "Hey Riley can I see the pictures again."

"Sure there right there on the end table." She grabs the photos and smiles at me.

"I'm going to go home really quick, I'll be back." She says running out the door with the photos in her hand. Jack is just finishing his food and he starts cleaning up his mess.

"It's cool Bro I got it." I say.

"No I made the mess, I'll clean it." Jack smiles. There is a light knock on the front door I peek the hole and see that it is Tony. I open the door to let him in.

"Good Day Sir." I say with a smile.

"That smile my dear will break hearts!" Tony laughs as he hands me a beautifully wrapped box. "This is for Ayana and this is for you." He hands me my schedule for tomorrow.

"What no gift for me?" I laugh.

"Soon my dear boy, soon."

"Can I talk to you about something.?"

"Sure kid, What's up?"

"Well I kind of met someone. I really want to purse something with them. I wanted to ask if I can bring her as my date tomorrow night?"

"Riley, Riley,Riley you know that cannot happen because of Jessica. Think of her."

"I know but she has someone to go home to everyday. I want that too and I want to move on from this charade. I need to find my happiness. I am really liking this person a whole lot."

"OK I understand but think about your career and your privacy and the other person's privacy."

"Ok, whatever!" I am still gonna do what I have to for me and my happiness."

"Yes I know that you will because you're stubborn as hell." He says. "Hey Riley." He begins to say.

"Yeah Tony?'

"It's Ayana isn't it?" I look at him and say nothing but smile. "Oh my dear sweet boy." He says and leaves.

I turn forgetting that Jack is still in the kitchen and he startles me and I jump. "Oh, Crap I you scared me." I laugh.

"Wow, Riley I am proud of your assertiveness with Tony."

Gotta to go for it Bro, I have never been drawn to anyone like this. I kind of feel bad at the same time to though."

"Bad, why do you feel bad?"

" I feel bad for Johnny."

"Don't be there was zero chance that anything would have happened with those two. Hey I'll be back later on."

"All right I'm going to take a shower and go in search of a stuffed monkey."

I finish getting ready and head out, I searched online before I took a shower for a shop that carries stuffed chimps and I found one really close by that carries them. I walk down a few blocks and find the store. I walk in and notice all kinds of toys, games and even food. The Store clerk behind the counter looks me up and down smiles at me.

"Can I help you Honey." She says in a flirtatious way." It makes me want to roll my eyes.

"Yeah I'm looking for a stuffed chimp." I say without making eye contact. She gets out from behind the counter and walks in front of me swinging her hips from side to side.

"Here they are." She points and brushes her finger over my forearm and I move my arm away quickly.

One of the stuffed chimps catches my eye. It has a diaper on and has a tiny blanket and a pacifier. I think that she will think this is really cute. I pick it up and notice how soft it is and think we have a winner. This is the one I want to buy her.

"I'll take this one." I say without looking at her, I am only looking at the chimp.

"Ok let's go over to the register, I'll ring you up. Is this for a child?"

"No for someone special that I recently met." I say. I notice that her face falls a bit.

"Lucky." She smiles.

"I hope I am."

"You will be darling." She says as I walk out of the store. I walk home and I feeling excited and nervous at the same time. I am putting everything on the line. I'm excited to see what will be.
