The Next Step: Jiley later on

Chapter 15 To close for comfort

Slightly PG-13

Riley's POV

"Hi Ryan" I say trying to sound happy that he was here. "Hey Riley" he says smiling. "So you like smoothies huh?" He says. "Umm I guess" I say looking down at my drink. "I like smoothies a lot too." "Umm that's nice" I say getting uncomfortable in this situation.

I return my attention to my phone trying to get him to leave. "What are you doing tonight?" He asks. "Nothing, probably hanging out at the pool with the team." I say. "Oh well if your not doing anything you could come by and..." "Sure" I answer not thinking or paying attention. I quickly realise what I just said. "I mean no!" I say quickly. 'Why did I ever call a break!' I think in my head.

  While I was thinking, Ryan grabbed my smoothie and started to drink it. I just stare at him not knowing what to say or even do. This guy is so weird.

He puts my drink down or should I say his drink down, and starts to lean in. I'm petrified. It's like I am frozen. I try to move but I can't. He gets closer and closer till he is about a few inches away. He puts his hand on my face and all I am thinking is, 'No don't kiss me please don't kiss me.' I close my eyes trying to hide the tears. But then I hear his voice. "Hey, Get away from my wife!" James yells. Ryan immediately turns and backs away and runs off. "Riley! Are you alright?!" He asks. I open my eyes and I feel hot tears on my cheeks. I just nod my head and I get up and sob into his shirt. "I....I...thought he was..." I stutter. "I know, I know." He says. "Shh baby" he says calmly. "I love you so so much" I say still crying but a lot less.

We start walking back to rehearsal but my legs give up because I am shaking. James picks me up and I lay my head on his shoulder.

We walk into the room and everybody asks if I was ok. "Guys back away." James tells them. He sits me on a bench and says "Are you alright to stay?" I nod my head yes. "Alright just stay there and watch." James kisses my head and goes back to the group of confused dancers.

James POV

I am so angry right now but Riley needs me so I have to stay calm. "Ok Let me see what you've been working on!" I say to the dancers.

They start to perform the dance when someone Knocks on the door. "Hello?" The voice says. "Come in" I reply. A woman about in her mid 30s came in with clipboard and a headset. "You have 10 minutes before you have to go on stage." "Oh ok thanks" She nods and leaves.

"Alright, you have 10 minutes to get ready so let's go!" I say and the dancers scatter in all different directions.

I go back to Riley who is in a fragile state, "Riley, you stay here ok?" She nods but not looking up. I don't want to leave her but I have too. I walk away and go find the dancers.

I am watching the team on stage and they are killing this dance. Their in sync and the choreo is perfect for this mystery music.

I am so proud of Jake for wining the turning comp. I wish Eldon could have seen him.

We win the round and the team celebrates once again. I run back to Riley and see her in the same position  I left her in. "Riley, don't feel guilty." I say. She looks up with her beautiful chocolate brown eyes. She didn't say anything but I knew she was sorry even though nothing happened.

Riley's POV

I am in my bed just hiding from everyone. Today was crazy, I almost got kissed by a guy that I barely knew, We won the turning comp and the mystery music round. We were the highest score of the day so everyone is excited about that. Plus we had a interview with the team. Most of the team is currently relaxing by the pool and Michelle is taking a nap in her own room and a few girls stayed in their rooms video chatting with their families.

I hear footsteps and then voices. The team must be back from the pool.

James enters my room and flops down next to me on my bed. "I am sleeping with you tonight." He says. "Ok" I say softly. "We won't be too loud" he jokes. I hit him. "That's not funny" I say serious and not putting up with his jokes. "Geez ok I was just trying to make you smile" he says. "You don't have to do those kind of jokes to make me smile" I say. "I will remember that before you hit me in the stomach." I laugh at him. "Sorry babe" I apologise. "Forgiven" He says kissing my neck.

"Jamesss..." I say pushing him away. "What?" He says. "Stop mister." I tell him. "Ok" he puts his hands up surrendering but then he tickles me all over making me squirm. "Ok, Ok, you win." I say giving up. He smirks and says "Finally!" He gets up and locks the door.

I walk towards the door where James is at. I wrap my hands around his neck and he puts his on my waist. We start kissing slow and passionately but then it gets rougher.

He pushes me toward the bed and pushes me down onto it. I make him take his shirt off and the He starts kissing my jaw and all the way to my shoulders. His hands wonder down my shirt and he puts his hands under my shirt. I feel his cold hands against my warm skin and just when things start to progress we hear a knock.

James and I jump and I try to fix my hair and shirt while James puts a shirt on. He opens the door and we see Piper and Richelle. "Yes?" He says. I know he's mad about the interruption but I am glad we didn't take it all the way. Not here at internationals, where there was a bunch of teenagers around.

"Umm were you guys sleeping?" Richelle asks. "Yea we were." He replies. "Oh sorry but we wanted to see what the plan was for dinner?" Piper asks.

I look at the clock that sits on the bed table. 6:47 it read. "Umm yes dinner, let's go to out so tell everyone to meet us in the hallway in 20 minutes. Ok?" They nod and leave the room.

"That was to close for comfort." I say. "Yes it was" he answers.  We change clothes and I do my makeup really fast and James gels his hair. We walk out to the hallway and see that all but a few  were ready.

We waited for the other dancers and then we headed out. We find a good place to eat in Downtown Sydney and then I take the girls shopping and James takes the boys to a movie.

It was a relaxing evening. I bought a few things for Emily and Ellie and a t-shirt for me. Piper bought something for Debra, Michelle bought some baby stuff and the rest of the girls bought souvenirs.

We got stoped quite a few times for autographs or pictures. I didn't mind till I started to have a headache and a stomachache. I text James to see how much longer the movie was. He didn't text back so it was probably still playing. I slowed my walking down a lot hoping we would reach the car soon. "Can we go in this store before we go back to the hotel?" Olivia asks. "Sure I will be out here if you need me." I say.

They go into the store and some of the girls waited outside because they were tired or digging though their purchases.

I look in my purse to try and find some medicine for my headache. Luckily I found some and I swallow it with some water and when the girls finally came out of the store I felt much better.

James texted me saying that they were waiting in the parking lot. I tell my group to hurry up because we still have a few blocks to go.

We reach the parking lot and we see the boys. "What took you so long?" Jake complained. The girls ignored his comment and got into the van.

We arrive at the hotel and I tell the kids to get in bed because it's past 9pm. Before I get ready for bed I check on the girls and James checks on the boys.

Everyone is either sleeping, texting their parents or whispering to their buddies.

James comes in when I am in the washroom taking my makeup off. He gets changed and hops into bed. When I was done I repeated what he'd did. "Where were we?" He whispered.
"No, I'm too tired" I say exhausted.
He groans. "Uh fine." He pulls me close to him, my back facing his chest. We stay like this for the entire night. I woke up around 6:20am and I woke James up to start the day.

Was Ryan the person who you thought it was? I hope you liked this chapter and tell me what you think of the book so far. This will probably be the only PG-13 chapter in the book. I really want this book to be kid friendly so... Anyways sorry for not updating sooner and keeping you guys on a cliffhanger.
