And I, You

52

Today's the day we leave for the cabin. It's Christmas Eve, Riley had me up most of the night wrapping a whole bunch of the gifts she insisted on getting everyone. I for one, am not a present giver but I went along with it because it's easier then protesting.

I stayed at hers that night, waking up this morning and checking the alarm clock beside Riley's bed 10:30am. It's not normal for Riley to sleep in this late, I guess all the wrapping she did tired her out. I lay awake for a few more minutes, trying my hardest to be able to get back to sleep however failing miserably

I picked up my phone off the bedside table

are you awake?

I wrote, holding the phone to my chest to block out the harsh light as I waited for a reply

I am, Good morning love of my life

I smiled cheesily at his words, knowing he did it on purpose. Even though he's been my boyfriend for months now, my stomach grows fire butterflies each time he says something sweet.

What time was it that you wanted us over?

I asked

11:00 xx

He replied. I checked the time on my phone again 10:45am "Riley!" I shout sitting up in my spot "whattt" she groaned as she awoke from her slumber "we have to go. We slept in" I inform her, sliding out from the sheets and to her bathroom where I can take a quick shower

I was in there for 3 mins max before emerging from the bathroom again "your turn" I inform her, waiting until she closes the door before I get changed. I waited patiently for her to come out and get dressed "okay I'm done let's go" Riley finally spoke up about 20 minutes later

We headed out the door, wishing the Matthews merry Christmas before getting to the subway where we waited for the train to Lucas'. It took about 5 minutes to come and a message from him asking where we are.

I replied quickly, shoving my phone in my pocket and making my way down the street to his house with Riley "finally! You guys are like 20 minutes late" Zay ushered us into the RV "Yea well we slept in" I defend, sitting down on the couch next to Riley like many months ago.

With Zach driving we eventually made it on the road. Watching as the dense traffic dispersed as we made our way out of the city. I turned back to in front of me "no smoking this time?" I asked the boys shocked "guess not" Farkle shrugged, a small smirk on his face

We continued to drive for a few minutes, my eyes became heavy, resting my head in my hands on my lap "what's got you so tired? You aren't sleeping with anyone are you?" Lucas asked, earning a chuckle from Farkle and Zay. I rolled my eyes playfully, looking at Riley

"This bitch made me wrap Christmas gifts till 3am. Each one had to have a perfectly even bow and exactly 3cm of tape because 4 looks rushed and 2 won't hold" I explain, being specific with the details Riley gave me. They laughed "Hey! you'll thank me when you get a perfectly wrapped present" Riley defended

"Come to the back we'll go to sleep" Lucas stated, heading over to the bedroom at the back of the RV. I thanked the gods for blessing the van with a bed, stomping into the room and lying flat on the bed in the shape of a starfish

"Hmm well you see I find it hard to lie down when you take up the whole bed" Lucas stated sarcastically, rubbing his head as if he was trying to figure out where to lie. I muffled a laugh into the pillow, moving down my arms and legs so that I was now lying straight and he had room to get in

"That's better" he smiled, climbing in next to me.
