STEFI'S P.O.V

"Knock knock!"  I half shouted.

"Coming!  A second!"  

I couldn't help but chuckle hearing the voice.  It's gonna be interesting.

"Who's ther...  STEFI!?  HOLY MOTHER OF STARBUCKS, YOU STEFI!!!"  

And that's how it goes...  Lol.

"Hey Riley!  Whoa I can't breath, man..."

"Oops sorry, jeez, I didn't see you coming!"

"I know, because that's a surprise!  So, surprise!"  I awkwardly said.  I intended to be awkward, so pardon me.

"MY GOODNESS!!!"  Riley spin me around.  "I miss you soooo much!  Come inside!"

"Okay, okay I miss you too.  Heck Ri, you've changed a lot.  Something hit you right in the face?"  I laughed so hard as well as walking inside the house.  Ah, felt so great after all.

"Yeah, kind of.  Haha.  Lemonade?"

"Perfect, thank you."  

I nodded and walked with him to the kitchen.  Don't get it wrong.  When he said 'Lemonade', it doesn't mean that he would make you some.  It's the thing when you have to work harder to walk to their kitchen, while Riley will show you where the Lemonade is, and you'll serve yourself.  Told you.  It's different with Riley, unless you're the girl he loves the most.

"So, how's life?"  Riley sit with me at the mini bar at the kitchen.

"Oh good.  Canada was awesome, I guess."  I gave the big grin.  "But Orlando wins my heart."

"Well, I didn't know a thing about this guy named Orlando."  He gaved his hands arrested in the air.

"It's not like that...  I'll kill you Riley."  I tickled him.  "Give me a brief about your recent life, celebrity.  And tell me what happened with the Emo style."  I laughed louder than before.

"Oh just shut up..."  He messed up my hair.

"Haha hey don't blame me.  You look different."  I stared at him.

"Uh thank you, I feel the love.  Thanks for the compliment."

"Sheesh."  I rolled my eyes.  "Where's the other two clowns?"

"Grabbing Starbucks.  Ah I'm gonna tell them to bring me two Starbucks."

"No you don't have to.  I'm good."

"Nope, my treat.  Just shut up and sit tight."  Riley carried me bridal style from the bar to the couch at the living room and gently placed me on it.  And by him doing it, he was texting too.

"So, do you still wearing the wristband?"  Riley held my wrist to check it.

"Of course.  This, never take it off since you put it on."  I smiled.

"Ouch, so lovely.  Me too."  Riley showed me his wrist.  "Wristband for life."  He winked.

"So on point, Sir."  I winked back.

"I'm home!"  Connor yelled to the entire house, not knowing that Riley and I actually sit in front of him.

"Me second!"  Toby added.

"Me three!"  I chuckled when Riley has laughed rolling on the floor.

"Hey."  Connor and Toby just gave me simple smile.  Connor walked to the kitchen to get some water, and Toby filled up Tank's supply.

"Dudes, seriously?  GOSH!"  Riley laughed louder.

"What?"  Toby looked over us.  "Who's she?  She looks like Stef..."  Toby kept filling the supply until he finally, by God's help, realized who I am.

"JESUS, ARE YOU STEFI?!  OH MY GOSH I'M SORRY I DIDN'T RECOGNIZE YOU!"  Toby hugged me so tightly and spin me around.

"HOLY BANANA, GIVE HER TO ME!"  Connor grabbed my hand once Toby released me, and buried me on his chest.  "LITTLE GIRL, WHERE DID YOU COME?"

"Probably a month ago?"  I joined Riley's laugh.  "About an hour, darlings."

"Oh my goodness I wouldn't be able to recognize you on the street, Stef.  You've changed a lot."  Toby looked at me.

"Maybe I can't either, seeing you hugging Tank and put it in the suitcase was the only thing I remember about you.  And now you're taller than me, with this sharp hair, muscles, so fit!"  I stick my tongue.

"Ah I love you!"  Toby kissed my forehead.  "You're staying, right?"

"Hmm...  See that house across the street?  You can find me there anytime, effective immediately."  I smirked.

"YOU'RE COMING HOME?!  OH THIS IS THE BEST PLAN EVER!  LET'S HAVE A SLEEPOVER AND CUPCAKES PARTY TONIGHT!"  Riley cheered.

"Second that!"  Connor jumped around.  Yeah he's Peter Pan, that says a lot.

"Three that!"  Toby followed.

"Four that!"  I screamed.

"Woohoooo!"  We shared a group hug but need to stop immediately before one of our neighbor send us a terror.
