Her

Why pt III - Rilaya

Why started as my first multi chapter story and I fell in love with it. I've been trying for so long to figure out how to continue it, and I think I've finally got it. So here's the next part to it.

Maya POV

I weave my way through the crowd of teenagers holding red solo cups, dancing along to the beat of the music pulsing through the house, holding my own cup above my head so I won't spill it. I make it back to where all the dancing is, and start scanning the room for the brunette that I've been with for over a year. I pause in the doorway leading into the room, until my eyes land on the girl I've been searching for.

I smile to myself as my eyes scan the brunette as she is dancing. The right red dress she's in is hugging her in all the right places, her hair is wild as she moves, and I'm still impressed that she's able to dance in those heels.

I start to make my way towards her, when I see a guy walk behind her and start dancing with her. I recognize him immediately, and frown.

Not today, huckleberry.

I make my way over towards the two, and when I get closer, I see Riley pushing him back off of her as best she can.

"-my girlfriend." I catch the last part of her sentence and smirk to myself. I knew she wouldn't dance with him.

"Come on now, Riley. You know you'd rather dance with me instead of some dyke like her." Lucas sneers, and the anger on my face couldn't even compare to the anger on the brunette's.

"Instead of some what?" Riley gets in his face, and I decide now is the time to intervene.

I step between the two of them and rest my hands on Riley's cheeks, and her eyes rest on mine. She instantly relaxes and smiles slightly.

"Hey baby. You okay?" I ask warmly, knowing that she's calmed down with me here. She just simply nods and I nod once before bringing our lips together. I feel the brunette start to deepen the kiss, and I have to force myself to pull away from her.

"We're in public babe." I hum quietly. She sighs and nods once before I feel someone tap my shoulder. I instantly groan and turn around, dropping my hands to my side as I stare at the guy behind me. The guy that's been trying to steal my girlfriend since we got together.

"The fuck do you want, Friar?" I snap at him, even though he is almost the same height as me because of my heeled boots. He takes a few steps back from me, and his jaw clenches before he smirks.

"Your girl."

I feel my face start to get hot from the anger at his words.

"You have five seconds to walk away before I kick your ass." I say calmly, never breaking eye contact.

"You wouldn't-"

"One."

I take a step closer towards him.

"Maya-"

I take another step. I could easily slap him from this distance.

"Two."

One step closer, and one second closer.

"You can't be s-"

The look on his face shows he still doesn't believe me. So I take another step forward.

"Three."

Realization falls on him and he quickly backs away and disappears into the crowd.

I smirk to myself at his reaction, and turn around to face Riley. A small grin is forming on her lips, causing me to raise an eyebrow. She simply shakes her head. "You're too much sometimes, you know that?" I shrug as she wraps her arms around my neck.
