Letting the water run down his body, Riley closed his eyes and enjoyed this moment of peace. Hopefully today was going to be better than yesterday. The male twin had no idea what his older sister was talking about last night. '[color=dodgerblue][i]It sounded like you were having a three way[/i].[/color]' He was a little annoyed she didn't give him a chance to inquire. On top of that, she kicked his girlfriend out and then proceeded to lock herself in her room avoiding responsibility. Classic Sophia. Her date sounded like it went [i]swimmingly[/i]. '[color=seagreen]'Maybe I'll have to tear that guy a new one.[/color]' There were somethings he would never understand, but then again... he too had his own way of dealing with things. One thing this family was piss poor at was being honest.

He would know. 

Sighing and reaching to turn off the steamy water, Riley leaned his head against the shower wall as his mind thought of things beyond his family. His young life was passing him by. Shaking his head to not think about his wrongdoings, his eyes flickered open. Turning off the shower, Claire's face appeared in his fuzzy mind. He smiled, but there was this unsettling feeling in his gut. They've been dating for two weeks and yet, he couldn't possibly be sufficient enough for her. She was too good to him. Already planning a date for them on Sunday, taking care of all the arrangements, while he sat and did nothing--what kind of boyfriend was he? Reaching out the shower, he grabbed his black towel and began drying off his body. Only one other time in his life, he had a serious girlfriend. This doesn't mean he didn't try to make something work with other girls but [i]she[/i] was out of this world. Of course, he doesn't ever talk about that chapter in his life or even... think about it. The only girl Riley has ever introduced to his family was Claire because, well, he was simply just too young at the time to introduce his [i]first love[/i]. Now his family either thinks he's gay or just likes to look at women from afar and be a massive pervert. 

If only they knew.

Stepping out of the shower, he brought the towel to his hair and began rubbing it against his head. The steam fogged up the mirror and all that could be heard was silence. 

When would he have free time to do what he craved the most? The broad-shouldered man missed the scent of women, their flesh against his, the lust in their eyes, their need for him... how long has it been? 

Breaking from his daze, he heard his flustered twin squeal, [color=salmon]"R-Riley![/color] The moments he and his twin shared yesterday flooded his mind as he looked at her plump breasts. He couldn't help but grin and make light of the situation. 

"[color=seagreen]Nice tits, sis![/color]" His eyes never left her body as she turned around and scurried away, slamming the door on her way out. He almost forgot that there was a flashdrive in the pants he wore yesterday. Maybe he'll check it out after work. It was absolutely necessary for Riley to know what her dream guy was. A brother's duty was to protect his sisters from the scum of the Earth. 

After fully drying himself off and heading back into his bedroom, the man swiftly changed into some clothes. He put on the jeans he wore yesterday night, seeing how they have only been worn once, and then put on a [url=http://36.media.tumblr.com/ad7757d21ce0fde732c513b82481517c/tumblr_nclxvds5Jk1tq2dijo1_250.jpg]plain teal shirt[/url] on. Tying his long sleeved stripe shirt around his waist, he thought about the homework he failed to do yesterday. He never did get the chance to do his photography assignment, perhaps he'd make time for it today. The homework assignment was 'Capture a mood within an environment'. 

Grabbing his camera bag, he hung it over his neck and left the room. Riley decided to speak to Sophi in private. 

Before he went to her door, he turned toward his little sister's door. He had read her letter last night and made her a little something himself. Late at night, the flamed haired man visited his old treehouse, which isn't something he did often. He didn't take the time to observe the changes to it. Instead, he pulled out a plank on the floor. The treehouse had many hidden things of Riley's past. But that is something to be discussed another time.  

[hider=Riley's Envelope]
[color=seagreen]Ollie.

I could never be angry at you. Cheer up, buttercup. I'm not one for writing a lot so just know I. love. you. And that I'm always here for you. Always. Even if their faces fade, you will never forget the love they had for you. [u]I promise[/u]. 

Mom lost this awhile back... I never did tell her I found it. This was originally grandma's, now you can have it.

Love, your brother, Riley[/color]

[i]In the envelope was a picture of Ollie as a baby being cradled by her father, as her mother made silly faces to get her to laugh. Baby Olivia's smile was so wide and her eyes glittered with happiness. A picture Riley took when he was young that revealed his potential skills in photography. There was also an [url=https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/2a/b4/bb/2ab4bb6eb0fe4508fd3d47f61220c3b5.jpg]antique locket[/url] at the bottom of inside of the envelope. This locket had been lost for awhile until Riley found it in the dirt when he was ten? Maybe. As a little kid, he thought he could use it as treasure so he never did return it to his mother. Inside the locket was not pictures, but a piece of paper that said, 'Whisper I love you to a Butterfly and it will fly to Heaven and deliver the message'. Their father had written that so their mother could cope with grandma's death. Three years later, she lost it. Five years later, Riley found it. His mother seemed to be coping fine, even if it was sad she didn't have her heirloom.

Riley hid it away in the only place he's ever hid anything at. His treehouse. He was going to give it back... he just kept forgotting. Now, Ollie will have it.[/i]

Once he slipped the envelope under the door, he turned to his late parents' bedroom.

[i]Knock[/i]. [i]Knock[/i]. 

"[color=seagreen]Sophi, can we talk about the butt dial? You never really explained what you heard.[/color]" His knocks were only warnings. Opening the door, he peered in to see if his sister was there.

Nope.

Rather than close the door, he entered the room and surveyed the environment. This room was filled with bittersweet nostalgia. He use to climb on the bed and rest on his mom's chest as she read stories to him. Now this room was... losing it's importance. 

His eyes glazed over as he saw his child self and his mother on the bed. Words of the past flooded his mind....
[indent]"[color=seagreen]Mommy! Does the prince save the love of his life?[/color]"
"[color=yellow]Patience, my little man, love takes time. We have a few more chapters to go.[/color]"
"[color=seagreen]But why? The prince gets sad a lot. His princess just makes him sad.[/color]"
"[color=yellow]Love is never easy but within time, we overcome our sadness.[/color]"
"[color=seagreen]Do we really though?[/color]"[/indent] 
Absentmindedly running his finger on his sister's, once mother's, dresser, Riley hit a bottle, making it fall to the ground. Bending down, he picked it up and stared at the Whiskey label. His sister had interesting taste in alcohol, hard liquor by itself? Eh, she probably had something to mix it with. He figured she was loosening herself up so she could masturbate or something. Masturbation was perfectly normal. Females should do it more often and not be ashamed about it! Hell, he'd masturbate if he wasn't extremely stressed lately. 

Picking the bottle up, he placed it back on the dresser and decided to go downstairs to see if Sophi was there. Making his way downstairs, he began cleaning his messages out of his phone. He stumbled upon the message Elliot told him he would send his sister.

[indent]"[color=00FFBF][i]Your brother dragged me off, try to let me talk sometime. ~ The man carrying your handprint on his face.[/i][/color]" and all his sister sent back was '[color=dodgerblue][i]Sorry[/i][/color]' She should have at least set a date to talk with him.[/indent]
'[color=seagreen][i]I mean, damn. I'm bad at texting but not THAT bad. I would have just called. She obviously missed him enough to slap the poor dude.[/i][/color]' 

Looking up from his phone, Riley realized Sophi was nowhere to be found, James was making omelettes, his twin was eating... Chinese... and drinking...mountain dew, and Ollie was waiting patiently for her food. 

"[color=seagreen]Just make me whatever.[/color]" Riley wasn't really picky nor that hungry at the moment, but out of respect, he'd eat his brother's food. There was like a meal or two he absolutely hated, but it wasn't omelettes... that's a discussion for another time as well. 

Walking to Kylie, he snatched the soda away from her, "[color=seagreen]I can deal with the Chinese because you don't like omelettes, but not this crap.[/color]" Going to the sink, he dumped the soda out and muttered to his siblings, "[color=seagreen]I think Sophi drank a bit last night, pure assumptions, mind you, but yeah, yesterday was a pretty shitty day. Eh, if you're of age, go hard or go home, am I right?"[/color] He let out a light chuckle, wondering when was the next party he'd get invited to. Clearing his throat, he continued, "[color=seagreen]Either way, have any of you seen her? She usually tells us if she has somewhere to be.[/color]"
