Hey! Another day in 2020.

Riley's PoV:

My parents didn't question me much cause they trust me enough.

"Spent the night at boyfriends" I see My Mom spoke to me.

"Mom!Yes but no. We are not 'together'!" I said

"Yet." My Mom said confidently

"Maybe" I said smiling about the idea

"Oh, My baby's all grown up. Look at you blushing at the mention of a boy. Thank God, I started to think you were a robot or something considering the amount of time you spend with vague language" My Mom said

"Mom, sarcasm is duly noted" I said laughing at her dramatics.

"So, what's the agenda today?" My Mom asked.

"I have to take lie detector test with Andrew for his video" I said shaking my head.

"Oh,that. I saw that boy's previous video as well" My Mom said

"Couldn't keep your eyes to yourself, Riley?" My mom asked me.

"What?" I asked her giving her a questioning look.

"The video. You guys couldn't get enough of each other" My Mom said

"Wow. It was that obvious. My God" I said.

"Riley, you are so much like me when I first started developing feelings for your Dad. It was honestly the best feeling ever." My Mom said reminiscing her young days.

"Young love does that to you" My Mom said

"Are you sure you didn't hit your head or something?" I asked her.

"Why?" My Mom asked me

"Cause I thought you'd be against me dating a YouTuber" I said.

"Riley, love doesn't come by looking at the profession. It just happens. Andrew is a good boy." My Mom said.

"Awww, Mom. But I didn't say anything about love" I told her

"You will know it, Riley. You will know it" My Mom told

"Where is Dad and Alex?" I asked them.

"Fishing. I am pretty sure they are having the 'guy talk'" My Mom said.

"Oh. Finally, another girl in this house to gush about the guys" I said.

"That my daughter what you have said is absolutely correct. I was praying to God that you shouldn't be a boy otherwise I would have lost my mind" My Mom said laughing

"Alright, Mom. I go to do the project and then shoot the video with Drew" I said and left for my room.

"Project. Project. Project" I was speaking to myself like a mad person.

I got an idea what I am going to do. I am just going to automate the grading evaluation system.

Anyways, I was pacing back and forth get antsy about the lie detector test. I need find a subtle way to lie and not get caught. I don't need this when there are millions of feelings within me.

Me To Allie 💃🏻👯: meet me.

Allie 💃🏻👯: chica. Come to my home.

I reached her home and went inside as usual without knocking.

"Oh My God. I am sorry." I apologized for interrupting Marco and Allie's kissing session.

"Hello to you Riley!" Marco said getting laughing at my awkward state.

"I texted you like five minutes ago. Damnit, Allie. I didn't want to see you two getting cozed up" I said.

"Relax. It is my moment of weakness" Allie said coming from behind Marco.

"Couples. Young Love." I muttered to myself.

"I am making hot chocolate" Marco said.

"You are a great friend, Marco." I said.

"I know" he replied

"Idiot" I replied.

"Anyways, what's going on with you and lover boy?" Allie asked wiggling her brows

So I tell her everything

"Hmm. Young love. Finally my bestfriend has found her true love" Allie said wiping her fake tears.

"Ugh. This is what liking someone feels like" I said slouched on the couch.

"You don't even know the half of it, Riles" Marco said bringing me my hot chocolate

"Is it so?" Allie asked raising her eyebrows at him.

"It's all worth it,baby." Marco said kissing her on the temples.

Drew💙: Red? You wanna meet up?

"Lover boy?" Allie asked

"Yes" I said smiling.

"Whipped. Big time, Riley. " Allie said

"Shut up, Al" I said

"Don't. Call. Me. Al" Allie said.

"Yeah, right."

"Al"

"Al"

"Al"

I kept on annoying her.

"You are lucky Marco is here. Otherwise, I would have kicked your ass" Allie said.

"Yeah. Nice try" I asked laughing at her threats.

Drew💙: princess?

"Okay, guys. I got to go. Watch the video when it premieres" I said.

"Wow! Would you look at that. Already rooting for her boyfriend" Allie said

"Damn right!" I said.

"You didn't deny the boyfriend" Marco said widening his eyes

I just smiled at them and left her.

"RANDREW is sailing!" I heard Allie shouting.

Me: yes, Drew?

Drew💙: Meet me at stokes, Red.

Me: sure thing.

I got ready and left for Stokes house.

I knocked on the door and Drew let me in.

He is wearing white t-shirt with black shorts. He was handsome nonetheless.

Riley. Stop drooling.

"Time to find some truths" Andrew said grinning

"Uh-huh. Let's see who is going to find out more about who" I said grinning back.

"Let's get this started" Andrew said.

"Where are the twins?" I asked him.

"Shooting video at Brent's place" Andrew said.

I just nodded at him.

"What's poppin, guys?. Welcome back to a much requested video." Andrew said to the camera

I felt nervousness bubbling inside me.

There was a lie detector equipment set up.

"So you ready?" Andrew asked me.

"Ready as I will ever be" I said.

"It's questioning time!" Andrew said smirking

"Bring it on" I said.

Andrew: Do you like someone?

Me: like friends or?

Andrew: nah. Romantically.

Me: uh. Yes.

The mission beeped green.

Andrew: Do I know this person?

Me: nope.

The mission beeped red

Damn it.

"Gotcha" Andrew said widening his smirk.

Andrew: ight. Next question. Would like to go out with person?

Me: Would I like to go out? Heck yes!

Green.

Andrew: is that person me?

Me: uh. It's not you.

Green. Phew. Thank baby Jesus

Andrew's face saddened at my answer.

Andrew: career or love?

Me: Career

Green.

Andrew: do you like me?

Me: uh. Well. Yes, as a friend.

Green.

Phew. Phew. Phew.

"Last question" Andrew said

"Thank God" I said.

Andrew: do you see us a couple in the future?

What?! Hit the nail right there.

Me: uh. I don't know. In the future anything is possible.

Green.

Andrew's just smiled at me.

His smile. Just perfect.

"Your turn, Drew!" I said excitedly.

Me: Why did you reply to my comment?

Andrew: You were cute.

Green.

"Hmmm-mmmm" I said rolling my eyes but smiling.

Me: what you see in your dream girl?

Andrew: well. Margot Robbie replica.

Green.

And so it went on.

"Phew. Burning questions" Andrew said removing the equipment from his hand

"I got to edit right away and upload it" Andrew said excited.

After one and half hours, Andrew finished with his editing and uploaded the video.

"My video has never got this many views right away" Andrew said.

"Mmm-hmm" I said

Their chemistry is off the charts.

Riley is very nervous. Hahah

Andrew has hearted this comment.

"Damn comments are piling up" I said.

stoke stwins ✅RANDREW!

I love them.

"Red?" I hear him call me.

"Mmm?" I asked absent-minded.

"Starbucks?" He asked me.

"You are my favorite person. Come on, let's go!" I said.

"I am?" He asked surprised.

"Of course, you are!" I said smiling

After Starbucks we went by the beach and took some photos.

"Red, would you like to go on a date with me?" Andrew asked me nervously once we are in the car

"Uh." I said not looking at his eyes.

Awkward silence.

"It's ok if you dont want to" Andrew said dejected.

My Mom's words was playing like a record in my head.

"Drew?" I called.

"Hmm?" He asked.

"Sad face doesn't suit you" I said.

He just smiled but it didn't reach his eyes.

"And yes I would like to go out with you" I said.

"Really?" Andrew asked.

"Really really, Drew" laughing at him.

"For a second I thought I got rejected" Andrew said.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow evening. We are going to the carnival" Andrew said.

"Oh, I love it" I said excited

"See you tomorrow, don't miss me" I said laughing

"You have no idea" He said.

Me: can't wait for tomorrow.

Drew💙: 🤩🤩🤩
