Once Upon A Dream

Twenty Six

Chapter Twenty Six: Riley

-Cordelia-

I reached my car and turned without thinking, I wrapped my arms around his waist like I would in the dream and his arms gently went around my shoulders. He even took it a step further by kissing the top of my hair.

It felt so normal.

Just like in the dream we stood there for a while before I moved my arms from around his waist and pulled them up to cover my face as I laid the back of them agsinst his chest and groaned in protest a little.

I sighed, "I don't want to go...but I sorta have to."

He nodded and moved his own arms so now his hands were resting on my hips, "I should be getting back too...Text me when you get to your dad's so I know you made it safe.

I looked up at him and nodded, look up at him, seeing his actual handsome face made my heart race. "Th-this is me." I said unlocking my car with the little control on my keys.

He opened my car door for me and I got in and started the car. He stood there almost waiting for me to leave before he walked back over to my door.

I rolled down my window curiously. "What's wrong?" I asked a little worried.

But he leaned down and before I knew it his lips had met mine.

It was a soft and simple kiss, just the one before he looked at me and smirked.

"I've wanted to do that all night."

I blushed wildly and tried my hardest to keep from smiling like a lunatic.

The kiss was just as nice if not nicer than the one we had shared in the dream.

"Me too." I admitted and I was so glad he made the first move because it was killing me that I had kissed him. I reached up and touched his face. "...I'll see you tomorrow okay?"

He smiked and kissed me once more, "Okay, drive safe." And after that I rolled my window back up and finally took off as I watched him get into a huge truck.

I was so giddy driving back to Dad's house, It wasn't too long that I recieved a text, either Riley drove fast or he lived pretty close to the park  but I knew it'd be from him. Shortly after I reached the house myself...I tried my damnedest to keep from smiling and give myself away.

So I checked my text while I was still in the car.

[Riley: Just got home Beautiful, already miss you.]

He was too charming and too handsome and he made me swoon with just his words.

[Cordelia: You're telling me Handsome, and I just pulled into my Dad's driveway...fixing to go in and face my friends.]

[Cordelia: I may have told them I had to babysit for a neighbor.]

[Riley: Lol, you're silly...tell them the truth, it'll make things easier.]

I rolled my eyes but I knew he was right.

[Cordelia: I know...I'll talk with them tonight...alright let me go in...I'll text you tomorrow.]

[Riley: Can't wait...sleep well.]

I smiled and text him back

[Cordelia: Sweet dreams.]
