The start of something new

[Riley Smith]

Riley was out walking. He had been walking for sometime and had found himself in Brightstone. He sighed. It seemed that all he had been doing recently was brooding away in his house. Riley had also found out who had stolen Natalie and was going to do something about it soon, it was all just a matter of when and where and also he needed to plan it. He diddnt want Ana to know about what he planned to do.

Riley walked into a near by cafe. He walked over to the counter and ordered a coffee. Once it arrived he paid for it the went over and sat in a table in the corner. It was quieter on his table. Riley looked around the building. It was crowded and there was no seats left anymore. The roof seemed higher up than a normal shop and there were some stairs leading upstairs at the back of the cafe.

Riley quickly turned his attention to the door as a guy just walked into the cafe. Riley smiled to himself. He had nowhere to sit. He looked down at his drink then took his first sip before adding two sugars to it to sweeten it up to his liking.

 

[Paul Rider]

Paul walked into a cafe in Brightstone. He had just managed to avoid getting into an argument with Dervish so he was in a pretty good mood. He felt guilty about leaving the house when Dervish was in such a bad mood but he didn't feel like being killed by his uncle. He shrugged off the feeling of guilt and ordered a can of pepsi. While he was waiting, he looked around and saw a guy looking at him. He paid for the can and sat with the guy. "Hey." He smiled. "Hope you don't mind me sitting here. You looked like you needed some company."

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley frowned then looked up at the guy who had decided to speak to him. " Of course i dont and im sure i would like your company." He smiled fakely before looking down back at his drink. Stupid guy thinking he could talk to him.He looked back up at the guy

 

[Paul Rider]

Paul opened his can and held his hand out to the guy. "I'm Paul. Paul Rider." He smiled as his took a swig from the can of pepsi as he watched the guy in front of him.

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley looked at the guys hand then back away. " Im Riley Smith." He sipped his drink then looked around, you could never be sure who was watching you. Riley looked back up at Paul and analized his expression to see if he was planning anything. He looked normal.

 

[Paul Rider]

"Fine. Be that way." Paul shrugged. "I was only going to shake because my uncle hasn't beat me up today so I'm in a good mood but if you're in a bad nmood, I understand." He smiled

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley looked up confused. " Im not in a bad mood, if i was then believe me you would no about it." He looked at the empty seat. " I thought that you were sitting down, Paul."

 

[Paul Rider]

Paul shrugged as he looked around before sitting down. "Lets just say I'm being wary. I don't want to be caught off guard whilst sat down." He smiled.

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley looked up at him. " And why would i catch you off your guard, i didn't even realise it was up." He finished his coffee and decided to get another one. He asked a waitress that passed by then thanked her when she brought it over. He put his normal two sugars into it before have a test taste. " So paul what brings you out here at this time of the night?"

 

[Paul Rider]

"It's not you that's put it up. When my uncle realises I'm here, he'll get me back home and punch me till he can't punch any more." Paul shrugged. "And I'm here for the same reason. If I was home, I'd already be battered and bruised."

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley frowned. " Your uncle sounds like a right tw@t, i would beat him back or worse. I have a dad like that so i no what its like. So what is his name?" Riley was a little more interested in the guy now he had found something they had in common

 

[Paul Rider]

"Dervish Green." He shrugged. "It's only recently that he turned into a tw@t. Before that, he was a decent bloke. Now he's lost his mind. He even slept with some other woman when he was drunk even though his wife is pregnant with twins.

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley scowled at the name. He hated that guy so much there weren't even words for it. It was him who stole his daughter. If Dervish was Paul's step dad then that would mean that Paul would be related to Ana. " So does that mean you are related to Anamaria Prinze?"

 

[Paul Rider]

"Yeah." Paul smiled. "She's a cousin of mine. We live in the same house. Does that mean you know her as well??" He hadn't thought Ana talked to many people. She was usually quite quiet.

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley nodded. " Yeah she is my girlfriend." He smiled as he said it then looked up at Paul. " Im thinking of asking her to marry me. Im not too sure yet thought." He sipped his drink as he thought

 

[Paul Rider]

Paul shrugged. "Well, she's just lost her baby so now isn't the right time but wait a while and then you could do it." He smiled at Riley. "I think she will probably say yes. I've heard her talk to Odie about you. She thinks a lot of you." He finished of his can and left it on the table in front of him.

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley nodded. " Yeah i kind of no that we lost our baby and i no now isn't the best time. Im going to wait awhile first as i don't even really no myself if i want to or not." He sighed then sipped his coffee. " Tell you what the coffee from here are lush." He laughed at the change in topic.

 

[Paul Rider]

"I wouldn't know. I don't drink coffee much." He shrugged. "I'm more of a pepsi person. I love the stuff. I practically live off it." He smiled. "I should probably get off it because my girlfriend doesn't like it but it's too adictive."

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley smiled. " Yeah well most things are addictive if you have enough of it, any way im sure your girlfriend has a habit that you don't agree on but i bet you don't complain about it." Riley laughed, he never complained about most of Ana's habit's

 

[Paul Rider]

Paul thought for a minute. "No, not really. I love every bit of her. The only reason I can't see her now is because she's at Hogwarts New Zealand so I can only see her in the holidays and on Brightstone weekends."

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley nodded. " That would bore me personally. I like a girl a can see when ever and i like to be able to touch and do other stuff with her on a more regular basis." He smiled as he said it wondering if Paul still had to break his. " So Paul may i ask a person acquirement?"

 

[Paul Rider]

"It can be boring but I love her too much to not go out with her." He smiled at the thought of Lindsay and then looked up at Riley. "Yeah, sure. Go ahead."

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley smiled not really caring if he insulted him. " Have you actually done it before?" He giggled at the question

 

[Paul Rider]

Paul wasn't afraid of telling the truth to Riley. The fact that Ana was dating him meant that he had to be a nice guy. "Nope. Never." He smiled and shrugged. "I guess I'm waiting for the right time."

 

[Riley Smith]

Riley looked suprised. " You have never done it. My lord. Mate the right time is the next time you see her, why wait you like 18. I was 16 just turned when did it." He smiled at the memory.
