Even if I Have to Travel the Whole World (aka sequel of 24 Hours)

Surfing

"Whew I'm stuffed" I said laying on my back onto the bed. "I'm gonna shower then" Riven said "Okay there's a rob in there for you" I replied and he nodded, I think this means his staying the night. Thank goodness he is, whenever I'd fall asleep in Alfea I'd start thinking of the past which I never do until that night. I went outside onto the balcony since I heard fireworks. It was beautiful, my mouth hanged open once I first saw the fireworks. I leaned against the railing completely forgetting about the world and it's harsh people, I closed my eyes and dreamt of a life Riven and I would have if we got married. I'm so ahead of myself when it comes to these type of things, when I dated Jared, I never thought of marriage with him. That was probably a sign that me and him wouldn't workout together, if only I listened and trusted myself at the time. I felt a pair of arms hug me from behind, I smiled knowing it was Riven. "What if we go to Holland after?" I said still looking out to the fireworks, "I'd love that" Riven said moving my face to meet his and moved my hair out of my face then planted a kiss onto my lips. I smiled and pulled away "I'll go shower now" he nodded and followed me inside. Riven sat on the bed and went on phone and chilled out and waited for me, good thing my clothes were already inside the bathroom, or else it'd be embarrassing for me to walk out in a towel. Now that I think about it, Riven and I have only met each other for a day and stayed in each others mind for at least a year, I thought as I washed my body under the luke warm water as the drops slid off me. As I did my face routine, I had thoughts about my father meeting Riven. Should they meet even? Or should I keep it a secret? No that'll make it worse, I just hope my father accepts him. I walked out of the bathroom in my shorts and loose long sleeved shirt to see Riven on the phone as I went to grab my hairbrush. "I gotta go, call you soon take care" he said ending the call, "Who's that?" I said brushing my hair in the mirror hoping not to sound nosy, "A friend of mine, his name is Sky" "I think he chaperoned for our trip to Magix" I said. "Yeah he told me about how he ignored Griselda or whatever her name is, rules" I laughed at that bit. "Yeah everyone calls her our fearless leader behind her back" I said finishing brushing my hair. Riven chuckled, "Can you tell me more about your parents?" I asked laying down next to him. He seemed a bit hesitant, "Why not" he began twirling my hair, "Honestly my mom was the reason why I was so wary of women in general, she left me at such a young age. That's why I always did things by my own rules, I was honestly so hesitant to talk to you in the beginning but my gut told me to do so, and I'm glad I did" I smiled at that, it made my heart so warm fuzzy. "What about you father?" I asked softly "I never met him, my mom would tell me stories about him, apparently he was a rich ceo. The reason why my mom had me is because of a one night stand, but she actually obsessed with him and waited til he got drunk and took that shot. Yet he gave her money to spend on me though she never used it for me" my heart aches for Riven. I put a hand up to his face, "I won't ever leave you Riven" I said resting my head in his chest as he hugged me and we cuddled while drifting off to sleep.

I woke up on the other side of the bed with Riven's arms around me. I turned around to see Riven awake, "Good morning" he said in a raspy voice "How long have you been awake?" I said cuddling closer to him. "Not long, what should we do today?" "Let's go surfing, its fun trust me" "You sure you don't need me to teach you?" I rolled my eyes at his comment. "Come, let's get ready" Riven said. "No just a little longer, I'm still sleepy" I said grabbing his hand as he sat up. "I'll carry you to the bathroom then? It's already 9" he said, I forgot we talked until we drifted off to sleep. I nodded my head as he picked me up and I wrapped my arms and legs around him laying my head on his shoulder. He placed me on the big bathroom counter, I didn't let go right away so aahe just hugged me back until I was done. We started to brush our teeth and then an idea popped into my head, "You were born Holland right?" Riven nodded his head as I continued "What if-" I paused trying to find the right word "We found your father?" Riven looked a bit shocked. "Hey I mean it's just a thought we don't have to" I said hopefully curing his confusion. "I don't think he'd want to meet me" Riven said drying his face, "You don't know what if your mother just hid you away from him?" "Let's not talk about that now, we're going surfing aren't we? You better get changed fast" Riven told me I quickly did my skin care, changed, and we were out the door walking towards the beach, hand in hand. We had so much fun surfing all day. We went to Riven's suite this time it was way bigger than mine, "Woah nice place, what's your secret?" I smirked at him, "Racing and being fearless" he said in a cocky-ish way but I laughed a little. "What's your job now?" I asked, "I help go undercover for the police, my first mission was great so I got requited" "Oh sick, is racing like a side job?" I joked Riven nodded his head. Riven and I chilled out as his hotel for a bit and watched a movie. I started to get bored so I asked "Wanna go shopping? I wanna get my father something" "Oh no, fine we better not be there for a decade though". I giggled, we walked out into the streets of Mexico and looked through little gift shops to find my father something. I didn't like mentioning my father to Riven since his father left him I just feel a lot of pity for him. "Did your father ever find out about Paris?" Riven asked as I looked through the mens aisle for a shirt. "Surprisingly no, or else I'd be grounded forever". My father has always had control of my life, sometimes it drives me crazy, he's so organized and everywhere we go he always has something planned so I always know what's next. Basically, I know how my future will be, but on that trip with Riven, everything was a surprise for me. I loved it, my adrenaline was pumped and the electricity flowed fast in my body. When you plan things, it takes the fun out of being excited or surprised even. I came across this green army colored shirt, "Riven come here" I told him still looking at the shirt, "What's up?" he asked. I put the shirt over him, he looked great. The color of his magenta hair corresponded with the green, I found a pair of charcoal shorts as well. "Hold this up to your chest" he looked confused then obeyed me. "You look great, I'm getting this for you" I took back the clothes and let it hang over my arm. "You don't have to Muse, I have enough clothes" he said taking strands of my hair twirling it, I swear he's obsessed with it since I grew it out, but I don't mind one bit. "I know, but a friend of mine always said you can never have enough clothes" I said quoting my friend Stella's quote she'd always tell me whenever she dragged the rest of us to go shopping. He tilted his head to the right, then gave me a small side smile. I saw this dark red shirt with white flowers on it, it looked like something you'd buy in Hawaii to be honest. I think it might fit my father nicely, or I could get him the blue one.
