Relapse
"You're beautiful."
"You're leaving me tomorrow."
Farkle chuckled. "It's only for one night."
"Yeah but it's still leaving me."
"I know but it's going to be a good bonding trip with Josh. He's your uncle and Maya's husband so I need-"
"Yeah. Yeah. I get it you want to become best friends with him."
Farkle laughed, "Not best friends. Just good friends-"
"I think it's cute," she murmured, flirty, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Do you now?"
"Mmhmm," Riley nodded, pecking his lips before sitting down on the couch.
"And you have big plans with Maya tomorrow."
"And Gabriel"
Farkle frowned, flopping down next to her. "She's not getting a baby-sitter so you two can go wild?"
Riley raised her eyebrows, "Do you think she is getting a baby-sitter so we can go wild? He's what? Six months old and I'm still the only person she trusts besides my mom and Katy and my mom is in Philadelphia and Katy has been under the weather so we get to keep the little guy with us and have a slumber party watching movies while eating pizza which I don't mind because I love spending time with him and he's a great reminder of why I don't want kids anytime soon."
Farkle nodded. They definitely weren't ready for kids anytime soon. "It's crazy to think Maya is a mom and we are together. Who would have saw this coming when we were in high school?"
"It is crazy but I like where we are," she said, softly, looking at Farkle.
"Me too," he said, placing his lips on her which she quickly deepen. "Race you to the bedroom?" she smirked, before getting up and taking off to their bedroom, laughing before he got up to chase her.
XOXOXOX
"I'm sorry I couldn't get a baby-sitter," Maya apologized for what seemed the thousandth time.
"Maya, it's fine."
"I know you keep saying that but I feel bad because Farkle and Josh are out of town having a guys' night out and we were suppose to have a girls' night out and here we are in your apartment with my baby."
"And I don't mind," Riley assured her, making a face at Gabriel. "I don't need to go out to have fun. I'm excited to stay in and eat pizza while watching a movie," she said, over dramatically, getting a smile out of Gabe. "It's like the old days when you would come over and spend the night it's just now I have my own place and you have a baby. Next time we will have a girls' night out of town weekend while the boys stay with the baby."
Maya looked down at her baby, before scrunching up her face, "I don't know about that."
"I know," Riley grinned, looking over at her friend. "Maya, it's okay. I know you are not ready to leave Gabriel with a baby-sitter yet and that's fine. I really meant it when I said I'm fine with a pizza and movies and once this little guy goes to bed we can break out the wine and let the real fun begin," Riley tickled his little feet.
"You know the last time I had too much alcohol is how I ended up with this one."
"Well it's a good thing your Daddy is out of town or there was chance you would be becoming a big brother Gabriel."
Maya smiled, shaking her head. "How do you think the guys are getting a long?"
"Farkle is probably a nervous wreck because Josh is in all overprotective uncle mode."
Maya winced, "I warned him to not go into that mode."
"Do you think he listened?" Riley asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Probably not," Maya laughed,
"They will be okay. I'm sure they are getting a long just fine."
"Yeah,"
"What's this really about? Are you missing Josh?"
Maya sighed. "More than I like to admit," she nodded, "I know it's just for one night but I haven't slept in a bed without him in forever even when I had Gabriel and had to stay in the hospital Josh was right there."
"You guys are too cute."
Maya blushed, playfully rolling her eyes. "How are things with you and Farkle?"
"They are great," Riley smiled. "After he moved away after high school and we kind of lost contact I never imagine us being this close again and then he moved back in town and reconnected and things have been great. It feels like the old days but now we are trying out this relationship thing."
Maya gave Riley a small smile, looking around the apartment and noticing a few of Farkle's things. "Is he living here?"
"No," Riley answered a little to quickly.
Maya raised her eyebrows, "Really?" she asked, not convinced.
"We are taking things slow."
Maya looked at Riley questioningly.
"I promise," Riley reassured her best friend. "You don't have to worry about me announcing I'm engaged or pregnant anytime soon. After my relationship with Lucas, I want Farkle and I to take things slow and just see what happens."
"Does he know that?"
"Yeah," Riley sighed, not feeling like dealing with her best friend's questions about her love life at the moment. "Why don't you pick out a movie and get it started while I use the bathroom. The pizza should be here any minute," Riley told her, quickly getting up.
Maya watched her best friend go before picking up Gabriel as she started to go through the movies that Riley set out. "Of course all of them are romantic comedies," she said, making a face at her son before smiling. "Gabriel Riley Matthews keep your hands to yourself," she scolded, moving her son's hand down as he pulled her hair. "You may look like your father but unfortunately I think you are going to have my personality."
She fake a surprise face at him when she heard the door bell, "You hear that?" she asked. She adjusted her son, grabbing her wallet before making her way over to the door to open it.
"Holy shit."
"Maya, what are you doing here?"
Maya could see shock written all over the man standing in front of her. He wasn't expecting her to be the one to open the door. "No, the question is what the hell are you doing here?"
Maya watched the man in front of her swallow, looking away from her before glancing down at her son.
"So you had your baby," he nodded towards the baby boy in her arms.
"Duh, you don't stay pregnant forever."
"He's beautiful-"
"Yeah, I know, tell me something I don't know like what the hell are you doing here, Lucas?"
"I came here to see Riley."
Maya's eyes went wide in anger as she shook her head, "You can't be serious."
"Dead."
Maya shook her head in disbelief.
"Where is she?"
"You need to leave. You aren't welcome here," Maya snapped at him. She went to close the door to have Lucas put his foot in the doorway stopping it.
"I'm not leaving until I see Riley."
"Are you really going to fight me on this while I have my son in my arms? Because let me tell you even with him in my arms you won't win."
"What's going on?"
Maya flinched at the sound of Riley's voice coming from behind her. She watched as Lucas looked passed her and the two made eye contact.
"Lucas," Riley breathed out.
"Riley."
Maya glanced back and forth between the two as their eyes remained on each other. "He was just leaving," she said, snapping the two out of their trance.
"Actually-"
"Maya, it's okay."
Maya looked over at Riley, shocked. Her face questioning if she was serious.
Riley swallowed, nodding.
Maya shook her head, disappointed. "Excuse me, I think my baby is hungry and I need to feed him," she told them, walking into Riley's bedroom, closing the door behind her.
Riley watched her best friend, knowing she wasn't happy that she was letting Lucas in. She saw out the corner of her eye Lucas shutting the door and coming to stand directly behind her. "What are you doing here?" she asked, turning to face him.
Lucas sighed, running his hand threw his hair. "I don't know," he admitted. " I just-I miss you, Riley and I had to see you."
Riley felt her heart skipped a beat. She was shocked after all of this time he could still do that to her. After all the pain he caused her he could still do that to her.
"I know I messed up," he continued. "I messed up big time. I promise I've got my act together now. It took me losing you to realize that I needed to get my act together so I can win you back and that's what I'm going to do."
Riley's eyes went wide as she felted her breathing become faster.
"I want you back."
Riley swallowed as she stared at the man in front of her. The man that held her heart for years and he wanted her to give it back to him.
XOXOXOX
"How is fatherhood treating you?"
Farkle asked as he took a sip of his beer, his eyes on the game in front of them. He knew it wasn't the best question but at least it kept the two from going to an awkward silence. It's not like the two didn't get along because they did, but they weren't necessarily friends either. He wanted to change that. He knew it was important to have a relationship with Riley to have a relationship with Josh because not only was he Riley's best friend's husband but also her uncle who she was close to. Yes, the two hung out but this was the first time they hung out alone. He respected Josh and always had even in high school. He was happy he made Maya happy and treated her like she deserved to be treated and was a good father to their son.
"Great," Josh answered, taking a drink of his own beer. "Maya wants him to stay her baby forever but I'm ready for him to get out of the baby stage so I can take him to the park and teach him how to play football and baseball."
Farkle nodded, wondering what his future children would be like. He was never in to sports like his friends but grown to have an appreciation for them and enjoy going to games.
"How are things between you and my niece?" Josh asked, and could see physically Farkle become nervous at the question. Josh chuckled to himself. "Don't worry. I'm not going to threaten you or anything. Maya already warned me to be nice. I just want to see my niece happy. After the heartbreak Lucas caused her she deserves to be happy."
"That's what I want. I want to make Riley the happiest woman on earth. I would have never risk my friendship with Riley if I didn't think she was the one."
Josh raised his eyebrows, surprised by Farkle's words. "Are you saying what I think you are saying?"
Farkle nodded, "Yeah, I think so. I want to ask Riley to marry me."
Josh stared at guy next to him, raising his eyebrows. "Wow," he breathed out, not expecting that to come out of the other guy's mouth as he sat back in his seat.
"I know," Farkle agreed. "I know Riley and I said we are taking it slow but I see a future with her so why wait?"
Josh nodded, taking a big gulp of his beer.
XOXOXOX
"Lucas leave?" Maya asked, quietly, when Riley walked into her bedroom.
Riley nodded carefully climbing into bed next to Maya who was gently running her hand through her now sleeping son's dark hair as he slept on her chest.
"What did he say?" Maya asked, hesitantly.
"Not much," Riley shrugged,
Maya watched her friend closely, knowing Lucas got to her best friend. "Whatever Lucas said Riley, don't believe it. Don't fall back into his trap," she pleaded, kissing her son's fingers. "You've been there and done that. Time after time and you could ruin what you have with Farkle for nothing."
Riley slowly nodded, swallowing. She knew the risk, but sometimes risks were worth it. She could feel herself wanting to start to relapse and couldn't admit it out loud to her best friend.
"I know."
Lucas is back! Do you think Riley is going to fall back in Lucas's trap? Who are you rooting for? Lucas or Farkle? Or will somebody new come in? Let me know because you could help decide. I may go with the favorite. Also, do you think Josh is going to tell Maya about what him and Farkle talked about? Please leave me a review and let me know your thoughts!
