Riley's P.O.V

Denny and I were sitting at our table waiting for our food. He had taken me to a small but intimate vegetarian restaurant which I found sweet considering he likes his burgers, steaks ect... I was still a little nervous and I think he was too. We were engaging in small talk. Yes we were nervous, thankfully it was not awkward between us that was a bonus. He looked at me, a small smirk beginning to creep up on his lips. I knew what was coming.

"That is right you were gonna tell me how much I meant to." He said smugly

I felt a blush creep up on my cheeks, making me turn away from him, making him laugh loudly. I decided I would play him at his own little game

"I will make you a deal. You tell me exactly how you feel about me and then I will tell you." I said, my turn to be smug now

"I asked you first." He protested

"Sorry not telling you until you tell me first." I said leaning back on the chair, folding my arms over my chest looking at him.

I could see him getting a little flustered and nervous. I raised my brow, not taking my gaze of him. I knew he wouldn't tell me which meant I wouldn't need to tell him either.

"Fine! Nicely played. Don't tell me." he pouted

One-0 to me...yes! I smiled in victory, sticking my tongue out at him, making him laugh and I done the same. He reached across the table, placing a gentle kiss on my lips, making me moan a little. It never lasted long before he pulled away. I opened my eyes, smiling and found him looking at me, doing the same. He placed his hand over mine, linking his fingers through mine, lifting my hand to his lips, kissing my knuckles sweetly. We got lost in our own little world but soon got pulled out of it when our food arrived. We had to pull apart to leave room on the table for the food. We thanked the waiter before digging into our food, talking, laughing and flirting.

**************

Dinner had went well, very well indeed, we were both more relaxed now. We were back to our usual selves...the normal Riley and Denny. He was still pestering me about how I felt about him but I was strong enough not to give into his demands. I knew he was doing it now only to annoy me.

"Oh Denny please run away with me and marry me. I can't imagine being with anyone else. Please make me your wife." I said in a high pitched girly voice

He was standing next to me in hysterics, everyone looking at us strangely.

"Stop, people are staring." He said between laughs

"Nope! Your own fault." I laughed

I knew he was getting embarrassed and I decided to step it up a notch, give everyone something to look at. I got a cheeky smile on my face looking at him and he knew I was up to something. Before he could say anything I dropped down on one knee in front of him

"Please Denny. Marry me? I can't imagine my life without you. Marry me...put a baby in me Denny please?" I gushed at him, keeping a straight face

"Riley what are you doing?" he laughed, looking around at the crowd that had surrounded us

"I am asking you to marry what else?" I said innocently, batting my lashes at him

I couldn't keep a straight face anymore and found myself bursting out laughing, Denny doing the same. I jumped to my feet, giving everyone a bow and they soon turned away, getting back to what they were doing.

"I can't believe you just done that Riley." He said in hysterics

"It was your own fault. Maybe next time you will learn not to mess with me. At least it gave all the nosey people a show." I laughed

He shook his head at me, wrapping his arm around my shoulder, kissing the top of my head

"You are crazy woman, wouldn't have you any other way though." He chuckled, smiling down at me

"I know." I replied giving him my dorkiest smile.

He reach down taking my hand in his, leading us to our next place of the night. I had no clue where we were going but I didn't mind, as long as I was getting to spend time with him, that is all that matter. We arrived at our next stop which was a place called the music room. I had heard about the place from Denny, he used to come here a lot when he was home with his friends. It had live music all night, mostly acoustic from what Denny had told me. I was looking forward to it, can't beat live music. He wrapped his arm around my waist, keeping me close to him as we headed in. It was small and intimate, similar space to the restaurant we came from. It was busy, some guy was on stage with nothing but an acoustic guitar in hand, singing his heart out, it was beautiful and I could feel the guy's emotions from his performance. Denny looked around, finding us a seat before he headed to get us drinks...non-alcoholic of course cause he was driving and well I never wanted to get into the state I did that night at the motel, that would be embarrassing. Denny took his seat next to me, his arm over my shoulder.

"Do you like it?" he asked looking around

"I really do." I smiled up at him

"Good. Cause if you never then we would need to break up." He smirked

Break up? To break up do you not actually have to be in a "relationship?" not only having sex and dating? Or do I not know the rules of the game now?

Come on Riley, that is exactly what you want...to be his girlfriend

Aw come on...really? Tonight of all nights? I was nervous enough without my little friend in my head. I rolled my eyes at her, ignoring her. Here I go rambling on again...seriously, I need to shut the heck up.

"Break up uh?" I smirked, raising my brow at him "To break up you need to be an actual relationship do you not?" I giggled

His head fell back, letting out a small chuckle

"You did just get down on one knee Riley, think that triumphs everything else don't you think?" he smirked

"Well you never gave me an answer so technically that doesn't count." I replied giving him my dorkiest smile

"You are such a dork." He laughed shaking his head "I didn't did I?" he laughed

I pulled a sad face, pouting at him

"Shocking Denny ignoring my proposal like that. Tut, tut on you. I will just go ask the dude singing if he will marry me instead, he is kinda cute." I smirked, pretending to stand up

Denny soon reaching for me, grabbing me, pulling me back down next to him

"No chance your mine. I will kick that guys ass." He said in all seriousness before bursting out laughing, me doing the same.

I liked how we can act like this with one and other. It showed how comfortable we have become with each other. Denny cupped my face in his hands, pressing his lips against mine, kissing me...damn why does his lips always taste good. He stopped kissing me but never moved his lips from mine

"Mine. No-one else. I don't share." He mumbled against my lips

"If you insist." I groaned into his lips

He smiled against my lips after that, clearly liking my answer. He pecked my lips a couple of more times before pulling away from me, keep me close to him still, turning our attention back to the guy in stage. A comfortable silence fell between us as we listened. I felt myself sneaking a look at Denny, smiling to myself. I can't believe how much he has changed in only three months. I was hoping the old Denny was coming back, the one his mother told me about, the person he was before that bitch broke his heart. I swear if I ever meet her she will be getting a piece of mind and a slap. I am not usually a violent person but I look out for the people who means most to me. Plus no one hurts my Denny like that and think they can get away with it. Hold up a second, did I just say my Denny? I guess in a way he is, nothing is official, it is only our first date and that took us three months to get here. Maybe I need to wait another three months before he even thinks about making it official. Can I wait three months for that? For him, yes I properly could. Ohh I think I may have fallen for him more than I though

Well duh! You are falling in love with him Riley. (stupid little voice)

I am not.

You are too.

No.

Yes.

Shut up.

No.

Yes.

I will win I always do

Lalalalala (that was all she was getting from me)

"Riley? Earth to Riley? You OK? You completely spaced out on me." Denny chuckled

"Sorry was having a debate with the little voice that lives in my head sometimes." I laughed

Please tell me I do not say that to him? He will think I am some crazy person

"You do that a lot." He laughed

"You noticed that?" I said embarrassed, feeling myself blush

"Yes have done since the first day I met you. I guess you don't know sometimes your argument with that little voice isn't just in your head? You sometimes say it out loud." He laughed

"What? How what did I say out loud?" I asked hiding my face

"Wouldn't you like to know baby." He winked

"Yes I really would." I said glaring at him

He shrugged it off, not saying another word about. Oh God what did he hear me say? At first when we met it was mostly dirty...Oh shit! He has knew all along what has been going on in my head...that is great, just blooming great. Shit happens I guess. I sat glaring at him for another minute, soon stopping when he reached for my lips again, all was soon forgotten after that. I lean into him, smiling as we enjoyed the music. He reached down, kissing the top of my head, not saying a word. I hope the night continues this way. I do wonder one thing...does he feel the same about me as I do about him? Hopefully that is a question that will get answered soon.
