"Here is your coffee and donut, your highness." Noah placed both on the counter in front of me. I grinned already loving our little deal. Waking up to coffee and a donut was something I could definitely get use to.

"Thank you." I chirped swiping the iced coffee and taking a sip. It wasn't as sweet as I usually take it but I gladly drank. It took me awhile to fall asleep last night and now we are up at 7 o'clock on a Saturday, I was gonna need all the caffeine today.

"Why the hell are we up so early?" Olivia moaned from underneath her arms. The moment she walked through my door ten minutes ago she instantly laid her head on the counter and closed her eyes. "It's Saturday."

I agreed with her on that. It was definitely too early to be up on saturday. If I wasn't excited about spending the morning with Alex I would be whining about being up too. I could feel my bed calling out for me as we speak.

"I told you to stay home and I'd come by later." Derek said.

"And leave Riley alone with you guys? Nope girls gotta stick together." She mumbled. I grinned and softly rubbed her back in thanks.

"But seriously why so early? It's not like its gonna get hot." I asked. It was almost the end of October which meant Summer was now long gone. And then add in the fact it was still slightly dark out, or could be the clouds.

"Early bird gets the worm freckles." Alex grinned.

"That's the stupidest saying I've ever heard." Liv muttered. I hummed in response and took another huge gulp from my coffee.

"Come on sleepy pants lets get going." Derek laughed, moving around the counter towards Liv. I watched as he gently pulled her up while she groaned. I wasn't sure if she was awake enough but she leaned her entire weight against Derek, wrapping her arm around his waist and he gently lead her towards the door.

I stared after the pair with a soft smile. Maybe they don't need me interfering after all.

"Did losing to me affect your sleep last night?" I asked Noah as the three of us headed after Liv and Derek.

"Nope, slept like a peach."

"I heard him crying through the walls." Alex whispered but still loud enough for Noah to hear.

"I did not cry!" Noah defended himself.

"Oh it wasn't you that was crying that you should have won?" I bit down on my straw with a grin as I watched the two. We may have another 'Derek and Alex' on the lawn fiasco in a second.

"It's okay to be sensitive." Alex patted his friends shoulder as he walked past.

"You sure you wanna pull at that thread? I know a lot of secret stories that Riley doesn't know." Noah called out, a smug look on his face. I perked up intrigued.

"I have nothing to hide." Alex shrugged, stopping to turn and face Noah.

"Okay then." I didn't miss the devious look on Noah's face. "One time Alex was watching Dear John and-"

"Noah you finish that sentence and I will beat you to a pulp." Alex interrupted his voice hard.

"I thought you had nothing to hide?" Noah smirked.
