I roll into him groaning. "Babe..." I say softly wrapping myself in the sheets before pressing my body to his. I was so cold because underneath the thin material I was naked. He hums kissing my head. 'What's wrong love?" I frown. "I'm cold." It was probably close to midnight. He kisses my head. "I'll go turn up the heat." I cling to him. "No..." I whine. He laughs combing through my hair.

"I'll be right back babe promise. Two seconds." I nod softly letting him up and he's in his boxers. I move my legs feeling the lace pair of underwear that I don't remember putting on. Other than that thin piece of clothing I was naked and wrapped in a sheet that did nothing to protect me from the cold air on my skin. Eventually he slides back in wrapping his arms around me.

"You said two seconds." He brushes a thumb over my sleepy face. "I'm sorry love. I tried." I lean forward kissing him and he hums letting me lay my body on his. I let my nails dig in to his arms some making his hum softly against my lips. "Don't start something Ri that you won't finish." I set my nose on his.

"I'm sleepy Evan or I would." He kisses me once smiling. "I know babe. Get some sleep okay?" He combs through my hair and its not long until I'm dozing softly to sleep. When I wake up he's sleeping softly under me. I smile I scoot to the edge of the bed pulling on my bra. I climb out of bed going to the bathroom. I brush my teeth with the extra tooth brush Evan put in the holder. Once I'm done I step out having his eyes shoot to me.

"Baby you're a dime. I swear." I hum searching through his closet for some clothes. Eventually I feel his hands run up my stomach and I smile. I pull a crop top, that I guess I had left, from his closet. I throw it over my head. "You're killing me Riley." I hum. "Always in my best intentions." I say with a smirk but let it fade. "I need pants." He bites his lip. "I beg to differ." I roll my eyes turning to him. He sighs.

"Fine. Give me a second." He moves to a dresser pulling out some light blue jeans that look high-waisted. He comes back handing them to me. "Evan these aren't my pants?!" He huffs. "Before you get mad. I bought them for you yesterday. I was gonna surprise you but this is as good as ever." I take them from them and he watches as I slide them on.

They fit perfect and I button and zip them hugging him. "I love them. Thank you so much." He hugs me back. "Your welcome. Figure out what you want for breakfast and I'll be out in a minute." I nod kissing him softly. I step out of the room sitting on the couch. I pull out my phone texting Ashe.

'Ashe I'm sorry okay? I made a mistake but you're the only thing I got. I don't want to fight and argue.' I press send pulling my knees into my chest. When it vibrates I take a breath before opening it. 'I'm sorry too Ri. You just know how I feel about that stuff. I love you and Evan both. I just hope you learned your lesson.' I smile thankful she's not mad.

'I did. Love you too sis.' Evan steps out as I lock my phone. "Hey Abigail." I roll my eyes as he touches me. "Don't touch me. I should have never let you hear my middle name." He laughs stepping around the couch to cup my face. "Hey I like it. I think it's cute." I kiss him smiling. "Yeah well what's your middle name?" He smiles. "Troy." I chew on my lip. "Evan Troy Reynolds..." He smiles leaning in to me. "Though I love the way you say it, I have one better. Riley Abigail Reynolds." I blush looking down. "Yeah like that will ever happen." He lifts my face.

"You'd be surprised." I smirk. "Yeah Mr. Bigshot pull out that ring then. Oh wait you don't have one." He leans into me. "Are you sure about that Ri? I mean I was gone to the bathroom for a long time yesterday while you were shopping around in Rue 21." I take a breath because he was gone for at least thirty minutes. "Evan..." He kisses me. I have some many thoughts I don't even kiss him back. "Did you by a ring?" He smiles. "Riley someday we'll be ready." I shake my head. "Did you buy a ring?" He swallows and there's a long pause. He leans all the way into me letting our noses touch.

"And what if I did?" I stand. "You...you shouldn't have done that Evan..." He stands as I begin to pace. "Hey..." He says taking my hands. "It's not like I'm asking you to marry me okay? Calm down." I shake my head. "But you will one day and I'm not good enough for that." It all comes out and I looked shocked at him that I actually said that out loud. "Baby you'll only be as good as you believe you are." I frown. "Was that supposed to be a pick-me-up?"

He kisses me before I know it I feel my back touch the wall. He places his hands above my head on the wall pull back. "I love you baby. Isn't that enough?" I run a finger over his lips. "That will always be enough." He smiles kissing my fingertip softly. I hum. "But you know what I've always wanted. A promise ring. Just something simple." He kisses me. "Okay well let's go." He starts to pull me off. "Are you serious Evan?!" He nods. "I'm very serious when it comes to you baby girl."

I smile down at the ground as he pulls me after him. We get down to his car in silence. Once we climb in he smiles at me. "Babe I love you so much." I kiss him. "I know and I love you too but I know you just went and spent a lot on a wedding ring." He kisses my cheek. "I'm buying you the promise ring you want. So please let me." I kiss him nodding. "Okay." He starts the car and we leave heading for he nearest jewelry store.

When we get there we walk in hand in hand. He sighs setting his hands on the glass counter. "Pick away babe." I step down along side the counter looking at each ring. "That one!" I say and he steps over to me. "That's a great choice." The man behind the counter says pulling it out to let me try it on. "It fits perfect." I say holding out my hand to examine it. "I want that one and a black band to go with it." He smiles nodding. I wrap my arms around him. "Thank you!" He hums. "Anything for you."

There will be a picture of her ring in the next chapter but other then that enjoy.
