Trust: A Macriley Story

Chapter 4

Riley's POV

I wake up and notice that I'm covered in a blanket. I slowly open my eyes and my head is pounding. I might have a tiny hangover from last night. It can't be too bad of one cause I remember everything clear as day. I slowly get up and head to the bathroom. I can't find any Ibuprofen. Not even Tylenol. I walk out of the bathroom and hear Mac in the kitchen so I decide to ask him what he's doing. Everyone knows he can't cook. He burns everything. "Mac, what are you doing. I know your not cooking." I say. "I ordered us breakfast from that diner we go to a lot. I got you your usual." He says. "Your bright and chipper this morning. Also do you know where the Tylenol is?" "Um I think it's upstairs in my bedroom. Check the nightstand drawers." I head upstairs on a mini mission to find some Tylenol.

Once I'm on Mac's bedroom I notice he already got rid of his pictures of him and Des. The only picture is one of me and him. It's on his nightstand. I look at the picture and notice there are fresh finger prints on the frame. The picture is him and I on our "fake date" taken by a drone. We look like we are nothing more than friends but I look like I feel a little differently. I decide not to overthink things and find the Tylenol in his nightstand drawer. I walk back downstairs into the kitchen, get a glass of water and take the Tylenol. "So Jack told me to tell you to meet him at 4 for your 'date'." Mac says. "Mac you know your a terrible lier." "No that's what he told me Riles. I swear." "Not about that about you and Des breaking up. Do you want to tell me or should I get Desi to?" He stops what he's doing. He stares at me for a minute then takes a deep breath. "Me and Desi broke up....... because she figured out something....." "Have you been cheating on her or something?" I ask a little scared that he already has another girl. "Not exactly....... I started feeling something...... I started liking..... you." He says the last part so quietly I almost didn't hear him. "You.... like me." I said trying to process this new information. He barley nods. I can tell his heart is racing just as hard as mine is. I walk up to him and without a word we kiss. We both seemed a little shocked at first but then we didn't want it to end. It felt like there were fireworks going off or something. Maybe a bomb. Once we finally pull away I decide to tell him. "I like you too Mac," I whisper. We stay in a hug for a minute then Mac says, "Yea I figured that part out Riles." We both laugh and the doorbell rings. "I'll get it." I say heading for the door.
