Riley 2.0

Chapter 5

"Miss place your left hand on the book and raise your right hand for me" Tony said acting like a bailiff. I glance down and see what book he was talking about "that is not a bible" peering closer I see it's my copy of Shakespeare's sonnets. "That's my book!" I shout trying to grab it from him. "Tsk tsk.." Matt says waving his finger in my face  "we all know your love for all things Shakespeare so we consider it your bible, so to speak." Huffing I sit back down and glare at them . "Well if any pages are messed up someone is dead!" I threaten each and everyone of them. They share a look and burst out laughing "okay Ri we promise" Giving me their own scouts honor that I can see is dripping with sarcasm. 

"People let's stay on track" Zay yells "who's keeping time?" Missy looks at her phone and says "we've got 30 minutes before the bell, let's continue." And just like that Zay starts questioning Sara. "Ms. Sara in your own opinion would you say the defendant here" Zay gesture to me "completely tunes out the world and anyone else that isn't a 6 foot green eyed loverboy when he is near or has just left?" Looking over at me Sara clears her throat and mouths "sorry Riley " and says "yes yes she does." I shake my head and say "is it my turn to question the witness?" Before anyone can say anything "I think I would like to question the defendant" I hear and they all look behind me and I knew before they say anything who it was. Causing me to turn bright red

"I don't think witnesses are allowed to do that" I state. He chuckles and sits next to me so close I can feel his breath on my neck. "Mr. babineaux if I may" he turns to Zay who already is grinning evilly and gestures for him to proceed. Turning once again to me he gives me that smile that makes my insides turn to mush and starts speaking in French so only Zay and I know what he is saying. "Est-ce vrai que tu te perds dans mes yeux?" (Is it true you get lost in my eyes?) I tilt my head look at him "Honnêtement non." (Honestly no) I say scrunching up my nose a tell tell sign I'm lying. He smiles and knows he has me "your honor I don't think the defendant is telling the truth may I torture her?" I gasp and close my eyes while they all exchange glances and Sara speaks first saying "go right ahead." Without having to look I knew he was smirking at me turning this into another one of our games that he intended to win. 

Just when I thought it was safe to open my eyes he whispers "Vous ne savez pas à quel point je veux vous embrasser en ce moment et ne jamais arrêter" (you don't know how badly I want to kiss you right now) upon hearing those words I bite my lip and look at him letting him know in that one look I wasn't going to let him win that easy."Your honor I would like to cross examine the witness " I say never taking my eyes off him. "What's the time looking like miss?" "Oh you have plenty of time" she says with a wink. I continue to stare at him and biting my lip while he cock his eyebrow and smirks . The sexual tension grew and before I could jump him our friends shout  "just kiss already!" 

Earning a giggle from me and a light chuckle from him. Who respond by saying to me "gotta give the people what they want" right before kissing me. Together they cheered and clapped earning crazy looks from everyone around us. Pulling back he lightly brushes the hair off my face and says "like I said Matthews I can never get enough." Causing me to giggle and Zay to say "you kids are adorable " "Zay!" I said putting my head in his chest while he laughs saying "thank you ZB I couldn't agree more." "Yeah you guys are totally beauty and the beast."Maggie quips watching us. "How are we like them?" I question looking at her. "You're kidding right Ri?" They look at me laughing and when I shake my head they stop and Matt says "oh you weren't kidding well let resident lord of all things Disney tell you" "Zay " We turn to him who says "Ri Ri you always are reading and rereading books so it's obvious and loverboy over there was a complete beast man until you found him."

 Smiling at him I look up at the one they deem my prince and say "aww you were lost without me?" He looks at me and says " Riley Grace you were my light guiding me home" Making me smile and him kissing my dimples. "Gross get a room" Tony jokes tossing a fry at us. "Oh hush we are adorable " I state sticking my tongue out at him. "Freaking fairytales I tell ya" Sara gushes. We laugh and I look at my prince talking to Zay about football and can't help but be happy. But with most fairytale princes there is a dark prince. 

At the same time we were having our trial that same one who was watching me before is watching me now. "You stare any harder and I think you might burn a hole into her face." Farkle says sitting down with smackle right next to him. "I'm not staring I'm taking in my surroundings besides its a free country I can look wherever I choose" Lucas spits out at him never taking his eyes off Riley's face. "She's happy Luke leave her alone " farkle points out to his best friend hoping he listen. "How do you know, maybe they're manipulating her and making her think she is but isn't " Lucas says turning to him with a hint of sadness in his eyes. "Maybe I could make her happy" Smackle who had been engrossed in her book scoffs. Causing farkle and Lucas to look at her. 

"Smackle you don't think I can?" Lucas questions her. "No" smackle states making both boys share a look and look back at her. "Smackle" farkle exclaims. "Sorry dearest but I don't think he can this is the happiest I've ever seen her since I known her and I will not let anything happen to stop her from being happy. I will refrain from saying this in scientific terms and just dumb it down now" she said getting up grabbing her stuff "this is one of those having your cake and eating it to situations am I right?" And with that she walks out leaving both of them speechless. 

"Wow" farkle shakes his head "I don't know what to say, this might be the first time she has rendered me completely speechless."
