Summer

I'm screwed. Theres no way in hell I'll survive a summer pretending to date my crush, no capable human could. I stumble around mindlessly until i find a tree to sit by. A lake stretches out in front of me and i sigh at the peaceful setting. I really don't think I can sleep with her now. But ironically, thats what i want to do most right now. So how do I handle this?

I'm gonna die. Thats how I'm handling this. I'm gonna die. I've gotta call it off. Ive gotta tell Luther theres no way i can sleep with her. Now that i think about it, it wasn't ever the best idea. I love a challenge but i don't see how i could ever get Riley into bed with me.

I only return to the cabin when Riley text me, telling me her parents are wondering where I am. When I walk inside, they're all seated around the table, eating. "Care to join us?" Topanga says. I glance at Riley who nods towards my seat and gives me a small smile.

"How much trouble am I in?" I whisper to her once I sit down. "You're fine, they were more worried than angry." She whispers back. I look at her and smile before attending to my food.

Riley waits until her parents are gone to ask. "So what were you thinking about?" I raise an eyebrow at her in question.

"Oh come on. Ive known you how long? You go on long walks when you need to think. What were you thinking about?" She reasons. Damn is she persistent.

"Nothing, just," I hesitate before grabbing some pajamas to change into to distract myself. "Nothing." I repeat, and walk into the bathroom and close the door before she can say anything else.

2 am. Its 2 am and I'm still not asleep. Riley rests peacefully next to me and I realize I'm too aware of her next to me to fall asleep. I crawl out of the bed and make my way into the living room to fall asleep on the couch.

I wake up again to a pressing weight on my stomach. "God, what the-" I stop when I realize Riley is sitting on my chest. "Why didnt you sleep with me?" She asks.

"I thought we should have dinner first. Why are you on me?" I retort. She shimmies a bit so now she's on my legs and lays down. "I missed you." She says into my neck. I smile a bit at the contact before realizing this isn't okay. Riley shimmies her hips forward against me and my cheeks flush red.

"Why have dinner when you can skip to desert?" She whispers. I freak out and shove her off of me and onto the floor.

"Gahhh! What is wrong with you?" I scream. She laughs. "I'm joking. And OWW." She exaggerates. What did she expect? You cant say that to people who have a crush on you after just waking them up. When I look around I notice its still dark out. "What time is it?" I ask.

"Like 3 am." She replies, rubbing her head. What the fuck? "Then why am I awake?" I ask. She gets up and sits next to me on the couch. "I wanted to play truth or dare." She says.

Oh hell no. "How about we play 'you clearly got me fucked up'? Since you thought that was gonna happen?" I suggest instead. She groans and pulls on my arm. "Come on. If you play with me, I'll owe you one no questions asked." She offers. I ponder a bit. That really could come in handy.

"Fine, okay." I say reluctantly. She smiles.

"Truth or dare?" She asks. I shrug. "Dare." I say absentmindedly.

"Do whatever you want to most in this moment." She says quietly. The air around us thickens. "Are you sure?" I ask. Dammit, why did I say that? She nods in response and I weigh my options.

"Promise we dont have to talk about it after." I demand. She nods "Not if you don't want to." She agrees.

"Okay, stand up." I gesture with my hands for her to stand and stand in front of her. She watches my hands as i carefully reach fir her waist and pull her closer until her body is presses against mine.

I know nothing good ever happens after two am. I know this is exhaustion speaking, i knwo im going to regret this in the morning, I know. But right now all i know is i want to kiss her and kiss her and kiss her.

I close the gap between our lips and sigh into her mouth. She taste like waterfalls of pure joy against me and I smile a bit onto her lips. She dips her tongue into my mouth and retreats immediately, coaxing me to follow. She leads me into our room. Her arms fall around my shoulders and she pulls me down until I'm laying on top of her on the bed. My mouth travels to her neck and she starts to moan below me. I smile into her skin and start sucking and biting more intently at her skin so she does it again. "Maya." She moans.

"Maya."

"Maya!"

I scream and hit the floor. "Dammit, finally!" Riley exclaims. I rub my head and look up at Riley. "What?" I say aloud. "Its noon! You wouldn't wake up. And something tells me you don't want to. I look around the living room, still confused. "Why was I on the couch?" I ask. Riley shrugs and walks away from me as i stand. "When I woke up thats where you were." She says simply.

"And we didn't play truth or dare last night?" I ask carefully. She shakes her head. "Definitely not. You must've dreamt it. What happened?" She asks. I imagine Riley moaning beneath me and my cheeks go red.

"Nothing. Um, you dared me to run outside naked." I lie quickly. She comes back into the living room carrying a plate of salad. "Eat." She says, handing it to me.

"You got me fucked up." I reply, pushing the plate away. I get up to go to the kitchen for real food. "Ooh, do i smell cookies?" I open the oven and there is indeed a warm batch of peanut butter cookies inside. I grab two and take a bite of one in Riley's face. "No!" She exclaims angrily. "You cant have cookies for breakfast. Its not healthy." I take another bite. "Im healthy, just look at me." I lift my shirt and start doing body rolls as I chew to prove my point.

Riley slaps my cookie to the floor. "That doesn't make you healthy." She says. I groan an open the fridge. "How about an orange?" I smirk. She nods. "I guess thats fine." She agrees. I snap open a can of orange soda and smirk as i take a sip. "No!" She groans, taking the can from me.

"How about this. I'll eat your stupid salad, if you invite Victor over here." I smirk. She immediately groans in response. "Maya, i already told you, theres no way You're dati-"

"You know he likes you, right?" I interrupt. "H-he does?" She stutters. I nod. "After you decided to shove your tongue down my throat he said I was "lucky to have you" or some bullshit." I admit. She shakes her head. "Doesn't matter." She groans. "No dating."

"Im not saying you gotta ride himthrough the gates of heaven. I'm saying invite him over." I urge. Riley rolls her eyes at my comment.

"Fine, but no funny business." She agrees. I pick up the plate of salad and peck her cheek before walking away. "I hate you." She mutters. "Love you too babe." I reply.

Late when Vic comes over I manage to convince them to play truth or dare. Time to make my dreams come true.

Thirty minutes into the game I regret this plan. Victor is basically drooling all over Riley an seemingly ignoring the fact that im here, much less that we're 'dating'.

"So Riley, truth or dare?" Vic says, smirking. I roll my eyes at his flirty attitude and wait for him to say something that'll probably irritate me.

"Dare." Riley shrugs. Ive rolled my eyes so many times during this game I'm surprised they haven't rolled out of my head.

"I dare you to kiss me." He says. All I see is red. "Okay, that's it. Get out." I yell. Vic clearly is surprised by my outburst. "Yeah. You heard me. Get out before I punch your teeth down your throat." He nods quicky and scrambles to his feet and out of the door.

"I'm guessing you regret that huh?" She smirks. I groan. "Oh please. If he didn't say it, you were going to." I accuse. She gives me a shit eating grin. "Yeah, probably. Because I knew you'd make him leave." She says, and I'm almost angry at her for that. "You knew I'd be angry?" I ask. She nods and pecks my cheek before going to our room. 

So if she knows that, does she know it's jealousy?

***Two weeks later

"We really shouldn't do this." Riley say, lightly grabbing my arm. I smile and roll my eyes. "One lap, it wont even take long! Whoever the idiot was that left the keys clearly wont mind." I crawl onto the jet ski and start it up. "Come on!" I encourage her. Riley grins and I know Ive won. She crawls on behind be, wrapping her arms around my waist and I rev up once, twice, before shooting us across the lake. She screams in my ear as the water flies around us.

When we get to the cabin we both collapse on the couch, exhausted from todays activities. "I'm wet." Riley breathes tiredly. I almost ask her a follow up question until I remember were both wet from the water. "I know." I reply. She turns over so shes facing me. "Dry me off?" She asks. I groan. "Tired." I mumble. I try swatting at her stomach so that the droplets of water will go away, but it doesnt work. "Please?" She mutters. I dont reply and instead get up to find a towel. When i return, i kneel in front of her and start towel drying her skin. I stop breathing entirely when I start drying her legs and stomach. Her baby blue bikini mocks me. "All done." I mutter, draping the towel across her. She reply with a light snore.

"Of course." I mutter. I muster of the rest of my strength to carry her bridal style to out shared bed, before I crawl in next to her and quickly fall asleep.

When I wake up, the first thing I notice is Riley isnt next to me. I get up and stretch a bit before I hear it. Voices in the living room. I follow the sound, not caring im still in my bikini so see Riley sitting with Vic in the middle of the room.

"Excuse me?" I say, catching there attention. Riley quickly gets to her feet and pushes me out of his sight into the hall. "Explain." I demand immediately. "He came over to apologize and I invited him in." She says quickly. "And nothing was happening." I roll my eyes. "Riley, you're not dating him, we've gone over this!" I exclaim.

"But-" "NO! No buts! This is your rule, you're not breaking it for the guy i liked first!" Riley peaks around to see if he's still here before turning her attention back to me. "Fine. You're right. But what if he makes a move?" She asks. I smirk a bit and grab her wrists and dragging her back into the main room.

"Alright listen up." I start sternly. "This is my girl. Mine. You don't touch her." I her Riley towards me by her waist and kiss her. She smiles on my lips and warm flows through me. Just as soon as i release her she kisses me again. "Just wanna make sure he gets it." She mumbles on my lips. I smile and go back into our room.

Just as soon as i do, jealous thoughts invade my mind. They're totally making out right now, i can feel it. I can smell it. I quickly rush into the living room to see they're just talking. Okay, this is fine.

I quickly pull out my phone and dial Luther.

"Whats up? You guys do it yet?" He asks. "No. Actually, I wanna call it off. I can't do it." I say quickly. There's silence for a good while before he says, "You like her, don't you?" I groan and rub my temples. "How do you do that?" I ask.

Theres laughter for a solid five minutes.

"Then go for it." He says eventually. "What? Yeah, thats not happening. Riley's very straight and actually into a guy right now." I explain.

"No she's not." He says, more seriously now. "What?"

"Rileys not straight, shes bi. She told me like three months ago. Did you not know?" He asks. My heart starts to race. Why am I just hearing this?

"I... Gotta go." I mumble. I press end without waiting for a reply and stumbke into the living room, dazed from this new information.

"You. Out." I say, pointing between Vic and the door. His smile fades and he gives Riley a look before muttering a quick goodbye to her and leaving.

"What was that? We weren't doing anything." Riley says angrily. I pace back in forth in front in her, knowing if i try to speak before calming myself down a bit all that will come out is an outpour of swear word.

"Why didn't you tell me you were into girls?" I ask eventually. She tenses up and I know its true. I groan and straddle her lap, before pressings a wet kiss to her lips. She kisses back just as hungrily and I don't hold back as I usually do. Her hands grip my waist and pull me closer to her, as if that's possible. We're a panting mess of lip biting and desperate grabbing. When I pull away she's clearly confused. "Did you like that?" I ask. She doesn't reply and i get up and start pacing again.

"I, umm. I didn't tell you because at the time... I had a crush on you." She says shamefully. Damn, isn't it great how the world works? "Are... you... KIDDING ME?" I scream. Riley is shaking and i almost feel guilty for scaring her like this.

Almost.

"I swear I'm over it I just... I really didn't want you to hate me." She begs. "Don't you think this would've been something to tell me before we made this bet? And now we're, we're kissing all the time and... And..." It dawns on me as I'm speaking that I'm just as bad, if not worse for not telling Riley about my newfound feelings for her. "And... I gotta go." I mutter. Riley doesn't say a word, probably still in shock, as I slip on my shoes and practically fly out the door.
