Outcasts Chapter 2

𝓡𝓲𝓵𝓮𝔂

Riley Mateo Rodriguez couldn’t stop looking at Niko. He tried to turn his attention back to Prince Alexander of England. Thankfully, he’s the spare not the heir.

“That’s why I had to run,” Alexander starts laughing loudly, which gives Riley the only option to laugh with him. He felt dirty like he was laughing at him instead.

Riley puts his gaze back toward Niko and sees that she’s in a deep conversation with Noah. Niko meets his gaze and a grin plasters on her face.

“Is there something wrong?” Alex starts to turn around, “I don’t see anyone there.”

“Just my sister making capers,” Riley winces at sister.

“I’m just gonna drop the act I’m not boring.”

“Never said you were,” Riley counters.

“Americans have a way about making this obvious,” Alex counters the counter, “or it may be me taking psychology in college,” shrugs.

“Whiskey?” Riley asks trying not to look at Niko wiggling her brows.

“Sure.”

Riley gets the alcohol from the bar and drags Alexander to the garden. He feels a spark of energy when their hands touch but chooses to ignore it.

“So commanding,” Alex smirks

“So, do I call you Alex, Alexander or Alexander of England?” Riley asks taking a huge gulp of the alcohol.

“Alex is fine,” Alexander responds taking the bottle from Riley.

They sit there in silence sharing the bottle of whiskey extremely drunk.

“You seeing anyone?” Alex asks burping.

Riley hesitates, “No,” he winces, “you?”

“No,” Alex shakes his head vigorously, “not ready for that kind of shit,” he hiccups.

“Can I have your number?” Riley fumbles his phone out of his pocket.

“Depends on what you name me as.”

“Might name you Drinking Partner,” he mumbles, “could change it when I’m more sober,” he clears his throat.

“I could call you my future husband then gag when I see it in the morning,” Alex smiles, “or maybe I’ll smirk and keep it like that.”

“Maybe,” Riley mutters feeling his face red, “I’m gonna go find my sister,” he reminds himself who he’s with and that he loves Niko.

Right?

He stumbles back inside the ball room towards the party and finds Niko. Riley finds her talking with Harper and Mason. He wraps his arms around her waist and buries his face in her neck.

“Are you drunk?”

“Mhmmmm,” Riley mumbles he hears Noah’s jaw crack, “I love you,” he whispers carefully into her ear.

“Love you 3000,” she mumbles back.

Riley winces. Even in his drunk state he knew even speaking their Marvel code was risky. He smirks at Noah resting his chin on Niko’s shoulder. Sober Riley right now would be scared out of his mind unless Zack was here. But Niko was his. No matter how wrong this was and sure as hell no matter how much he had Alex on his mind.

“I want you.”

“I’m tired,” Niko turns around to Riley, “take me to my room?” Riley smiles nodding.

Damn she’s good. He thinks to himself.

“You’re really entrusting your drunk” Noah starts. Niko shoots him a look and ventures off with Riley.

Riley stumbles into Niko’s room and onto her bed. Niko climbs off of Riley and locks her door.
