KARAOKE!!!!!!
Maxwell exclaims as he bursts through Riley's door.
She continues to put on her makeup not surprised at all by his intrusion, Maxwell has been up and down the hall screaming Karaoke for the past five minutes.
"So I guess we are doing karaoke tonight?" Riley teases.
"Riley this is the best night of my life! Do you know how many times I have been trying to get anyone to come to karaoke with me!"He runs to Riley smushing her with the tightest hug His breathe is loud and short from all his movements. 673Please respect copyright.PENANAex2T8B0fh1
"So is anyone else coming?' Riley pats him on the shoulder and he soon releases his grip. He leans against her boudoir and tries to calm himself.
"Well you know Liam has his Royal obligations. Hanna said she would try to meet us there she is waiting on a call from her parents. I tried to ask Olivia but I swear to you she looked me in the eyes and I was temporarily petrified."
Riley looks up to see him shudder at the thought of Olivia. They both share a deep laugh.
"No seriously I blacked out for a good minute once I came to she was gone."
"What about Drake?" Riley asks coley
"Oh I think he heard me screaming down the hall because he locked his door on me."
"What if he just wasn't in there?"
"No he also yelled "Go Away Maxwell" from behind the door."673Please respect copyright.PENANADSQfFKa4UY
"You still want to go right?"
"Yes of course well get a taxi and sing the night away. Just you and me like Sonny and Cher"
"Or Ike and Tina" Maxwell chimed in.
They begin walking out the door and as Maxwell opens it Liam is standing in the doorway just seconds away from knocking.
"I heard you two were having a karaoke night?" a smile growing over Liam's face as he looks Riley in her eyes "May I join you?"
Maxwell exclaims, "Great now we are a trio like Destiny's Child or Narvana"
"Wow Maxwell you know a wide range of American music" she smiles and moves her focus to Liam "So no important royal functions to attend to Liam?"
"No Lady Riley I have decreed that tonight will only be for full unadulterated fun. That is if you will have me?"
Liam smiles and Riley cant help but to smile in return "Well let's go!"
"So Liam" Maxwell begins as they start to walk down the hall."How's your Freddy Mercury because now that we got 3 people we can do a tree part harmony on Bohemian Rhapsody"
"Maxwell that song is like 30 minutes long!" Liam laughs
"Actually its only a little over 6 and I have been practicing getting all the harmonies just right. I will let you do the 1st 2 verses with the hole "Mamma just killed a man" but I get the "Scaramouch" part. Now if you don't feel prepared how about some Bee Gees?"
They continue to walk down the hall a door to their left swings open.
Drake stands in the doorway his right pants leg is stuffed into his white tube sock.
"Hey so we're going out tonight huh? Why didn't anyone invite me?
Maxwell eyes widen "I tried to but you told me--"
"Oh don't worry I forgive you let's go!"
Maxwell and Liam continue their conversation unaware for the slow pace Drake and Riley have behind them.
"Sutton. Wouldn't put you down as a karaoke girl." Drake keeps his gaze ahead hands crossed behind his back.
"So let me guess you heard Liam in the hallway got jealous and hurriedly put on your clothes?" She points to his sock and he quickly pulls out his pants leg.
"I told you Sutton." Drake assures as he helps her down the exit steps. "I'm not the possessive type I don't get jealous."
Before Riley could respond she sees Liam speaking to his limo driver.
"Your majesty my deepest apologies are in order I somehow have a flat and cannot drive you tonight." He points to his tires and the gang notice that two are completely deflated.
"Sir I took the liberty of asking if any of your guest wouldn't mind allowing you to use their drivers. And after a little negotiation I managed to find one who was happy to oblige. If you will please follow me."
The driver leads them to a nearby stretch limo and opens the door Liam thanks him and hops right into the dark filled car. It isn't until all four are in that they realize who the gracious royal is.
Once inside Riley looks around the dark limo. She squints to make out a figure seating across from her.
"Wait I know that smell." Drake says cautiously as Riley looks for a light. The red hair green eyes and blinding smile appears before them.
"Welcome" She chuckles. Her voice shocks the gang as everyone jumps a little from the sound of her. The street lights castes clarity through the limo as it began to drive away from the train.
"Olivia" was all that Drake could state.
Liam, who is sitting closest to her, takes a minute to calm is heart then softly grabs her hand.
"Lady Olivia what a pleasant surprise. You have done us a great service tonight. Not only will you allow us to use your driver but you are joining in on the fun."
"Thank you your highness! Why I heard about your limo and out of fear of you having to submit yourself in a taxi like some commoner..."
She glances at Riley and Drake her eyes cold but warms once she returns back to Liam. "I knew I had to intervene."
Riley clears her throat. "Well thank you Olivia do you like Karaoke?"
"I cant say I am familiar with this villager custom." She pays no mind to Riley as she answers her eyes are focused on Liam keeping his left hand firmly in her's while softly stroking it with her free one. "But I'm sure Liam and I can manage."
Riley rolls her eyes and looks at Maxwell who has completely passed out. She nudges Drake who lightly slaps him to come to.
"Karaoke!!"
Drake laughs and leans back into his seat next to Riley. He could easily see her dress had gathered quit a bit as she sat, her light brown thigh teasing him painfully. The car grew quite as they rode . Maxwell on his phone, Olivia and Liam conversing, and Riley looking out the window. It was there in the dark, a surge of confidence grew within Drake. He subtly rubs her revealing thigh with the side of his thumb.
The excitement of that subtle but consistent touch sends chills through Riley and she leans back for a second to enjoy his graze in and out of the hem of her dress. Across from her sat poor Liam unable to reclaim his hand from Olivia who has now placed it around her shoulder. And next to her was Drake, teasing her right in front of him, in front of everyone. Knowing full well she would spend the rest of the night only thinking about his hands and where else she wanted them to be. In her mind, Drake was sending a message. He knew the hold he has on her and he wanted to remind her of that. Just the thought of this angered Riley she pulls down the hem of her dress so that it reaches her knees and shifts her body towards the window. And although she was not looking in Drake's direction she could still clearly see the look of confusion on his face through his reflection on the tinted window.
