It was dark outside, I was in my sweats and I couldn't even be bothered to pick up my remote from the floor. So i just sat there staring at it, hoping it would miraculously jump on my bed so i didn't have to move. Boredom had set in since I had no phone and I was too lazy to move. I threw the covers off me and moved to my stomach so i could reach the remote without getting out of my bed. My arms weren't very long so i was hanging onto the mattress with my legs, and the remote was almost in reach. Just as i was centimetres away from it I heard a knock on the door a jumped at the unexpected noise with left me on the floor.
"What are you doing on the floor?"
"When you knock your supposed to wait for me to to say you can come in." I said angrily, now kissing the floor. I looked up to see which one of my brothers were here to annoy me and my foul mood, but was surprised when i saw Harrison.
I quickly sat up right, dusting myself off hoping to look somewhat presentable. Oh god I can't believe he's seeing me like this, I look horrendous.
"Get your shoes on." He smiles as he offers me a hand which i gladly take.
"It's like 10 O'clock." Confusion took over my features which only made him smile more.
"I know, I walked all the way here. Meet me outside." He turned to the door and left.
"Wait Harrison." I complained but he had already gone.
Dragging my feet along the floorboards I opened my wardrobe and pulled out the first shoes i saw, high-top converse. I slipped them on and tied the laces before I went downstairs. Once I was at the bottom of the stairs I saw Issac with a cup of coffee in his hand with a smug look on his face.
"What are you up to?" I asked with a frown.
He didn't respond but only smiled more. I slumped my shoulders and made my way out the door to see Harrison stood at the end of the drive.
"I'm not going on that I'll die." My expression was lowered to the skateboard on the floor.
"Come on Riley, lighten up." His features were soft as he flipped the skateboard into his hand. "Your not going to die, I've got you."
"I swear to god." I rolled my eyes but moved to where he was now stood on the road.
"Put your right foot forward and your left foot in the back." I held onto his shoulders as i stepped on, afraid the board was going to go rolling from under my feet.
"No dont let go of me." I said loudly as he stepped away. All he did was Laugh. "Harrison." I laughed back annoyed still.
"Your fine stop worrying." He held my hands as he started walking as the board went with it.
"I don't like this." I tried to keep in my smile but it broke through my gaze.
"Now push yourself along with you foot." He looked down at my feet as did I.
I did as he said and pushed off the ground with my foot making the board travel forward. As I did he let go of me and I feared for my life. "Harrison!" I shouted. A few seconds later i went tumbling off the board and straight on my arse, making friends with the floor.
He jogged over to where i was, he looked down at, towering over me with a smile on my face.
"It's not funny." I punched him in the shin and he moved away in pain.
"What was that for?"
"For letting go." I got back up to my feet shoving him as i did.
"It's not that hard, you just have to have balance."
"Well I've got the balance of a hippo." I glared at him.
He took the board in his hand then started skating down the street, he did a trick and then started skating back towards me.
"Show off." I smiled.
"Just because you can't do it." He smiled back twice as big as mine.
"I hate you."
"No you don't, If you hated me I'd be dead at the hand of your brothers." He skated around me in a circle.
"Maybe I should go get them." A smirk grew on my face.
"No you will not." He ran up to me picked me up and span me around.
All i could hear was his laugh and my slightly less attractive laugh. In that moment my mood had completely changed and I was the happiest I'd ever been.
We spent another hour outside goofing around and by the end I manged to make it a few meters without falling on my arse. I'd never get the hang of it completely.
Issac's Pov
"Did you invite him over?" Caleb said with slight anger laced in his words.
"Yes." I replied simply watching out the window at Riley and Harrison.
"You know I don't like this." He crossed his arms and backed away from the window.
"I know you don't but look how happy she is." He moved back to the window to take another look.
"That still doesn't excuse the fact that he's a guy." He said harshly.
"We can't protect her forever Caleb." I stood up straight from leaning on the windowsill to face him.
"Yes we can."
"No we can't, she's growing up and she's going to get with boys, it's the way it works."
"Issac she got sexually assaulted."
"Right and if Harrison wasn't there that night than she would have got raped too, he beat the shit out of that guy. He protected her, he saved her." With that he turned silent, standing there as realisation hit him. "Caleb, I haven't seen her this happy in months, I'm not about to go ruin it."
"I still don't like it." He quietly said while he leaned against the wall.
"Well if he does anything to her, that's when you can beat the shit out of him." I turned around and left the room, leaving him to his thoughts.
As i walked down the stairs both of them had just walked in with smiles on there faces.
"I'll drop you back home in half an hour." I said to Harrison as i walked past going to the kitchen.
"Thank you." He replied.
Just as i turned the kettle on Riley walked into the kitchen.
"Did you text him?" She asked in an innocent voice, reminding me of how she'd when she was younger she'd sneak out of bed to ask me to read her a story.
"Thought you could do with cheering up." I replied as I pulled a mug from the dishwasher.
I felt arms wrap around me as i looked down to her smiling face. "Thank you." She said as i moved my arms to hug her back.
"You like him huh?" I smiled as we break apart, and she nods slowly. "Just let him know if he does anything his in trouble, Caleb already hates the idea never mind the others." I let out a laugh.
"Trust me, he's already very scared of you all especial Caleb." She laughs along.
"Your phones in the cupboard next to the tv."
She simply smiled as she left the kitchen. She was Happy and that made me happy.
Harrison's Pov
I went back to Riley's room after using the bathroom, I didn't want to run into any of her brothers.
"We've got 30 minutes, what you wanna do?" She asked as she walked through the door, making sure to leave it open.
"Well not a movie because you'll fall asleep." I laughed as she jumped on the bed next to me.
"Hey, i was awake for most of it." She hit me on the shoulder laughing.
"Hmm more like 5 minutes." my eyes widened and so did my smile.
"no." She moved closer towards me as i moved to her.
"Yes."
She shook her head and we were now inches apart and my eyes trailed down to her lips so did hers to mine. I looked back into her eyes and smiled before my hand cupped her cheek and our lips connected. Her lips were soft, not to mention she was a good kisser. My free hand moved to her waist and i felt her smile on my lips, as her hand moved to my hair.
When we pulled away I saw her smile mirroring mine and it made me so unbelievably happy.
"We better stop before someone walks in." She says before giving me a peck on my lips.
"Yeah that's a good idea." I say as I kiss her as she kissed me.
"I think we should watch scooby doo, but you have to get the remote." She points to the floor where i see the remote.
"That's why you were on the floor?" I laughed.
" Yes i fell over because you scared the shit out of me."
"Aw I didn't even get to see you fall." I reached for the remote and picked it up with ease.
"I fell of the skateboard enough times."
"Yeah you did." I laughed as i pulled her into lay on my chest.
Then we sat and watched Scobby doo.
