riley's pov ✧

hayes walks in with the bag of food, placing it on the counter top. he opens it and hands me my tray of steaming beef dumplings - i thank him. we both dig into our food as his videos continue to play from the macbook...

...i throw away my garbage as hayes finishes his sweet tea, typing away on his phone. we ate in silence and he hasn't spoken to me at all since we've finished. he's just been on his phone and i've been trying to focus on the videos playing on his laptop but... i kind of want his attention.

"so," i begin, not knowing exactly what i'm going to say and he raises his eyebrows, continuing to look at his phone.

"um, c-can we watch a movie?" i ask him and he nods, typing a response to whoever he's talking to.

"yeah, just type in whatever you wanna see." he tells me, waving a hand dismissively causing my eyebrows to furrow.

"oh, okay." i mumble, grabbing his laptop and heading into the living room area. i plop down on the comfortable couch and within a few seconds, zan comes running from behind the couch.

"hey, buddy." i say to the sleek black dog as he crawls into my lap, nuzzling his head into my chest.

i go to netflix, clicking on the kids section and searching through their options.

"there he is." i hear hayes say and i look up at him.

"hey." i greet hayes and he smiles at me.

"zan has a crush on yoouuu." hayes teases as i look down at the dog in front of me while laughing.

"hush." i say while standing up.

"i'm going to take a shower." i tell hayes and he nods his head.

"okay and i'll go see what nash is cooking for dinner." he tells me and i turn on my heel to get some clothes.

i stand in front of all of the bags of new clothes and shoes that i hadn't unpacked when we got back. i decide to do that quickly before grabbing some spandex shorts and a sweatshirt to wear after i shower.

i grab a pink bra and panties set and i lay it on the guest bed with my pajamas.

i walk into the bathroom, taking all of my clothes off before stepping into the shower and turning on the warm water.

i sigh as the water cascades down my body. it's still hard to believe that i'm actually in a home under someone's care.

i wash up quickly before turning the water off and drying off. i put my undergarments on and then the outfit.

i brush my damp hair and put it in a high ponytail before starting at myself in the mirror. i look good for once.

i put socks on before opening the door and walking downstairs. i smell pasta and instantly smile.

my dad use to cook pasta all of the time.

i enter the kitchen and nash is the first person i notice. he's standing at the stove stirring something in a big pot.

he turns his head and smiles at me causing me to smile back.

"what are you cooking?" i ask him while walking towards him and he fixes his posture.

"spaghetti." he says in his thick, fake italian accent causing me to giggle.

"but, tay and i aren't gonna eat spaghetti because we're vegetarian." he says proudly and i feign a gasp before we both start to laugh.

"so, i'm making a different pasta dish for us." he tells me.

"that's cool." i say and then i walk over to hayes. he's sitting on a stool using his phone.

"hey." i tap his leg and he glances up at me for a second before looking back at his phone.

"hey, riley." he greets back and i slightly frown. maybe he's just busy. i walk away and sit next to taylor on a stool while she uses snapchat.

"what are you doing?" i laugh as she makes a funny face and she looks at me.

"look." she says while moving her phone so that both of our face's are on the screen. flower crowns appear on both of our heads and i gasp. the filter makes my eyes lighter than they already are.

"pose, little sis." she says and my heart flutters at what she called me. i smile and she sticks her tongue out so i switch my pose to the same as hers. she snaps the pic and captions it:

with this girl 😘🌹
