Only You

Riley P.O.V

"I don't want to be recognized.." I say to Cash feeling anxious as hell.
"I just....I..I'm not ready to face the paparazzi. Not yet." I add. He holds my hand.
"We can get you a wig?" He suggests. I nod.
"That can work." I smile a little
"Okay, anything else?" He asks
"No.." I say sitting up in my seat.
"Alright. So we get a wig before we head to L.A and after that... What do you wanna do?" He asks
"I'm not sure. I-I still wanna go back to my normal life just... Without people all around me asking questions. You know?" I say, he nods understanding
"I get it baby, but hey don't worry about L.A till we're physically there alright?" He says
"Okay, okay you're right" I say
He smiles and kisses me.

We enter the hair shop and walls upon walls of wigs and hair extensions are in rows.
"Hmm. How about this one?" Cash says pointing at a short pink one I laugh.
"Yeah and look like a cotton candy stick?" I chuckle
"Try it on!!" He says I roll my eyes jokingly and do so.
"Oh my god" I cover my face laughing. He laughs with me.
"No way I am wearing THIS" I take it off grinning I find a blonde Bob one with bangs.
"Oooh" I say picking it up.
"I like it" I say feeling it, it's soft and feels like real hair I try it on and it looks amazing on me.
I check my self out from all angels and smile.
"I want this one!" I say turning to Cash he smiles and says
"Whatever you want baby. You look hot as a blonde" he smiles and winks at me. I smile and nod taking it off.
"This will definitely hide me in L.A or... I hope" I sigh.
Cash puts his hand on my shoulder and side smiles
"It's all gonna be okay my love"
I nod and we walk over to the cash register to check out.

We get back into the car and off to the airport where his jet awaits us. We get on and take off for California. I miss L.A to be honest. I miss the beach, the people, the shops, everything.
I miss making music and I have got to get back into it.
As soon as we land I put the wig on and sunglasses and we get into a limo parked up front with a chauffeur waiting by the back doors.

"Ms. Gutierrez a pleasure as always it's been awhile" he says
I smile "Well I'm back in the game" I say smiling and glance at Cash who smiles at me.
"You're doing great. Everything will be normal soon. Just ...be prepared.." he says worried
"W--what do you mean?" I ask
"The pressure.. I know you just got of rehab so..." He looks at me with pity. I hate that look.
"I'm fine. I can control my drinking it just got..." I pause having a flashback to a night me and Audrey fought.

*Flashback*

"You don't know anything!!! And you don't know me!" I scream at Audrey. It's raining heavy outside and I'm drenched from head to toe. The smell of booze and cheap perfume is in the air since we just stepped out the club.
"You don't even know what you're saying Riley! You don't even know what you're doing!" She yells sounding concerned as always.
"Who fucking cares? You can't even get one date! Better yet a damn boy to stay with you longer than a week! I can get dick! I can get fucked so let me!" I yell back at her, she gasps in disbelief.
"I fuck!" She yells in defense
"Oh really? Last date you had you went home crying to your cats eating cheap ass ice cream soo" I shrug she rolls her eyes.
"My sex life is none of your business... Ever since Cash left you-- you've been a raging bitch and acting out.. I'm worried about you Riley! You drink and disappear every night to some random guys house! And come crawling to me asking for a Uber home or for advice and never take it!! Grow the fuck up Riley! For fuck sakes get over yourself and grow up!" She yells I tear up knowing she's right but I'm too damn drunk to realize it or admit she is.
"Fuck you!" I yell back and storm off down the street. Walking in the cold hard rain home.

*End of flashback*

"Riley?" He taps my shoulder
I gasp and jump
"Huh?" I say pulling myself together. He looks at me concerned.
"Get in the limo. We have to go."
"Oh! Yeah-yeah okay. I--I'm sorry" I say
I get into the limo and we head to his apartment.
"I need to talk to Audrey...." I say
"Why?" He asks
"I...I just do. When my drinking got out of hand I--I pretty much put her through hell" I say feeling so fucking terrible.
"Not to worry. I'm sure she understands" he says
"I don't think so" I sigh
"Call her" he suggests
"Yeah...Yeah maybe" I stare out the window
"She's your best friend. She does miss you" he says
"How do you know?" I ask
"We keep in touch" he shrugs
"Can you tell her?" I beg
"Ri, this is a problem only YOU can solve.. so do it. Fix the friendship and talk to her. I can fly her out here?" He says giving me valid points
"You're right. I will" I say nervous

We get Cash's house and already is we paparazzi lined up.
"Oh no" I say under my breath.
He holds my hand and nods telling me let's go. I keep my head down and we push through the crowd of people ignoring they're questions.
We finally make it inside and I can finally relax.

"I had no clue papz would be here" he says
"It's fine, your famous so it's bound to happen" I shrug
"I'm sorry" he says looking down
"It's fine, I just wanna get some sleep" I say exhausted
"Okay" he says

I make my way to the room putting my bags down. I pull the blinds down so it's dark and walk over to the bed laying down falling asleep. I feel Cash's body lay next to me him pulling me close to his side. He plays with my hair, brushing it behind my ears and kisses me softly. I drift off to sleep loving every moment of the now.
