Fate ➳ Riley McDonough/ Before You Exit Fanfic

One

Author's Note

        This is the sequel to "My Muiscal Admirer". So if you haven't read that yet, I highly suggest you to read it so that this story will make a lot more sense.

Jessa's POV

        "C'mon, let's go there!", I exclaimed, and practically dragged Riley to the store I wanted to go to.

Since I had no one to live with in my house, Joan said I could live in their house 24/7, and I was pretty ecstatic when she told me I could redecorate the guest room so that it was more... me.

So now I was in the mall with Riley trying to find some cute stuff to put in my room.

"Slow down, Jess. You're gonna make me drop the paint", he said, as he held up the several cans of lavander paint that were in his hands.

"Actually I'll just put these in the car. I'll be back". He gave me a kiss on the cheek and started walking back to the parking lot.

I went inside the store and immediately spotted someone I knew very well.

"HAILEY!!!", I yelled, making everyone look at me, but I didn't care. I haven't seen Hailey since my birthday. Which was like 2 weeks ago.

"Jessa! What are you doing here?", she asked. "Joan let me live at they're house and I'm just looking for some stuff to put in my new room".

"So how are you and Riley?". "We're fine", I replied. "I heard my name". I turned around and I was face to face with him. "That was really quick", I said. "Never underestimate my walking speed".

He intertwined his fingers with mine and we started looking around the store.

We were back at home and Riley set down all the bags he was holding on the floor, before stretching his back.

"You know I could've helped you with those", I said, and he shook his head. I get that he's trying to be a good boyfriend, but he just carried a dozen shopping bags, plus the cans of paint and he didn't even let me help him. That's a little bit too extreme, if you ask me.

"I'll go get the paint trays and the paint rollers. You can ask Connor and Toby if they wanna help us", he said and I nodded.

He started walking to the garage where all the paint stuff was and I made my way upstairs.

I decided to ask Connor first, so I knocked on the door of his room.

"What's up, Jessa?", he asked, as soon as he opened the door. "Riley and I are gonna paint my room and we were wondering if you wanted to help us". He stared of into space for awhile, then he nodded.

Next, I went to Toby's room and asked him the same thing and he agreed, as well.

I got a few old sheets and started covering all the furniture with it, while Riley handed each of us a huge paint brush and one of those paint rollers.

I'm glad I wore my least favorite shirt, because painting the walls suddenly turned into painting each other.

"Hey Jessa", I heard Connor call me. I turned around to look in his direction, but quickly ducked as he tried splattering paint all over me.

While the boys were still splattering paint at each other. I was trying to crawl out of the room, military style.

As soon as I made it out of there I dusted myself off and that's when Joan spotted me.
