My Neighbour

thirty five

James

See, I know I'm not the most romantic person but I mean, I tried my best
I placed 12 pink roses on Riley's doorstep, pressing her doorbell before leaving to climb into her bedroom
The plan is, she'll go downstairs see the flowers then will come upstairs and boom surprise I'm here? 
What could go wrong?

I climbed into the bedroom window and just as planned, she was no
where to be seen. I smiled knowing my plan was going well. I took a much needed rest on her bed waiting for her to return and to my surprise she didn't take long 
But. She did no have the flowers in her hand, in fact the only thing in her hands was the towel covering her body
"Before I overstep here, I should probably let you know I'm here" I said making Riley scream and jump. I ended up laughing but from the look on Riley's face, it was not a laughing matter
"What are you doing here?" she said hitting my arm as she came over to me still in only a towel 
"I came here to surprise you, how was I supposed to know you would only be in a towel" I smiled grabbing her waist pulling her close
"Not that I'm complaining at all" I smiled making her roll her eyes
"We are going to need to have a chat about your timing" She warned pointing at me
"Mmm nah we don't" I chuckled making her roll her eyes again

She walked around the corner to where I wardrobe was, I could still see everything though
"Ri, if you don't want me to see you, you might not want to change in front of a mirror" I warned making her quickly turn around and groan making me laugh again
"While your out of the room. You should check the doorstep" I said probably making her confused

A few minutes had passed when Riley's door opened again revealing Riley now dressed holding a vase of pink Roses, I smiled looking at them
"Why pink roses?" She asked smiling walking over to me
"Bitterman's Lake" I replied making her smile even more 
I got Riley pink roses because it was a pink rose that the man gave me, the one I gave to Riley on our first unofficial date 
From now on, that'll be the only flowers I get her, it'll be our flower

"You're a charmer when you want to be" Riley smirked taking a seat next to, I rolled my eyes at her grabbing her by the waist pulling her closer
So close she was straddling me with that same smirk on her lips. The one that can pull me in with on single glance
"Is that my shirt?" I asked looking at what Riley was wearing
"Possibly?" She replied biting her lip
"don't" I whispered making her look at me with the same smirk that was once on her lips
"Or what?" She whispered getting pretty close to my face, there was little to no distance between us
My breath hitched the second I felt hers on mine 

"Or what James" She whispered again, I closed my eyes before feeling Riley move closer on my lap
Peeling my eyes open I looked at her chocolate filled eyes, the kind that is so easy to get lost in
I still hadn't replied to Riley but she knew exactly what she was doing 
The second she bit her lip for the third time I crashed my lips against hers 
I didn't care about anything else right now. She was driving me insane and the worst part of all was she knew she was doing it too 

The longer we kissed the closer we got to each other, my hands now inside her shirt pulling her in as close as possible while her hands remained tangled in my hair 
I was about to pull away but Riley quickly closed the gap again
"Don't stop" She whispered into the kiss and that is all I needed to hear
I gripped Riley's waist before flipping us over, Riley was now laying on her back pulling me in closer and closer by the simple pull of my hair 

Riley soon wrapped her legs around my torso in the attempt to make sure I didn't pull away too soon and I promise you now, I have no intention to.
No intention at all...

One thing led to another and now here we laid in Riley's bed, she was almost asleep on my bare chest. I didn't want to leave her right now but I'm pretty sure that if her dad came home to find me in his daughters bed. He'd have something to say
"don't leave" She whispered before I even had the chance to move. It's like she already knew
"Ri, I don't think your dad would want to come home to find me here" I whispered kissing the top of her head
"he knows your here James" She mumbled still very sleepy
"Stay the night?" She offered looking up at my lazily
"Are you sure?" I asked and she nodded gently, I chuckled and nodded getting a little more comfortable
"I love you" I whispered before hearing Riley's gentle snores. 
It was only then that I had clocked on to what I had said and to make it worse. Riley had fallen asleep before hearing it
