Riley doesn't even have to try hard in order to hug her tightly. He has a strong grip and rather powerful arms so his hugs are naturally very tight without feeling like an uncomfortable, crushing feeling. He gives amazing hugs. Riley gently rubs her back and looks down at Chaelin. Standing at 6'2, he towers over her by quite a bit. "Things have been brilliant. The tour is going well and we've more or less finished the third album so can't complain. What about you? How's everything in the wonderful world of Chaelin?" he asks with a friendly smile, still holding her close. Arranging to meet Riley in the gym was a really smart move on Chaelin's part. This is Riley's heaven, there's a familiarity to it and it makes him feel a lot more at ease. Riley was also feeling just as anxious as Chaelin beforehand but now at least one of them feels more relaxed. "Well I'm not going to lie, if this is the first time you've worked out in a while then prepare to be aching in the morning. You'll probably also hate the idea of a gym and me as well for introducing you to some of the equipment. Getting started is one of the hardest parts but if you're patient enough, you really will see it paying off," he says with a little laugh. Riley starts to hum the song "Physical" after Chaelin refers to it while he sits on the edge of a bench press. "So what is it you want to work on...or do you just want to watch me and pass judgement like the guys do?", he jokes. Riley's deep voice seems stronger than ever as it echoes through the vast, empty gym.

The caressing of Riley's shoulder really stuck with him throughout the course of the gym session. The sensation actually put him at ease a little more and it made it rather apparent that Chaelin was comfortable enough to do something like that. Gave him a much clearer idea of where they both stand. Rather than say anything in case it brought too much attention to it, Riley just gave a warm smile and let Chaelin's hands rest on his shoulder. He thought that making a remark about physical contact may be taken in the wrong way but he wanted to let her know that he was OK with it so a friendly smiled sufficed. During the bulk of their gym session, Riley introduced many leg exercises to Chaelin, most of which she could also do at home too. Singer, dancer, actor and now personal trainer - Riley is one of those people who seem to know a little bit of everything about everything. Riley lays on the bench press while using a heavy set of dumbbells, working on his already powerful arms. He looks over at Chaelin every so often as he left her to work on a single-arm kettlebell swing technique. It's a rather simple workout but becomes challenging and tiring over time as many muscles all over the body are being used. "How you doing over there? Want to kill me for putting you through it yet?" He laughs and sits up, placing his weights on the floor and dabbing his forehead.

Riley and Chaelin are hanging out in his hotel room before Weekend's show in San Diego tonight. The visit was an unscheduled one on Riley's part as Chaelin flew out to surprise him. He enjoys seeing her and would never turn down the opportunity of spending time with her but he just wishes he was more prepared for today. When Chaelin had arrived, Riley was not long back from the gym, feeling a little tired out and had a schedule to stick to so couldn't make any big plans for the pair at the last minute. The ideal date wouldn't consist of his muscles in knots while they stay cooped up in the hotel room but it's all they could do so they're making the most of it. Chaelin offered to massage him, something he felt reluctant about at first as he felt it would be unfair for Chaelin. Flying out all that way just to sit on a bed and massage someone until her hands ache and tire probably wasn't what she had in mind when she planned for some quality time with Riley. She seemed totally fine with it though and Riley let her get to work. It was a wise decision as Riley can feel huge amounts of tension being relieved from his powerful muscles. Nobody else on the tour would volunteer to massage him after his intense workouts so this one was long overdue. He lays on his front, in grey sweat pants while shirtless and barefoot, as Chaelin continues rubbing his back and his powerful arms. "That feels great. You sure you aren't a professional?" he asks with his deep voice being muffled by the pillow.

"Well your father is extremely lucky to have had that sort of treatment. I don't even bother asking the guys to massage me because I know they'd probably find it a bit weird or they'd be far too lazy...maybe a combination of both. Dustyn gave me a massage once and it was really good but he got bored after five minutes and went off to eat ice-cream instead." Riley laughs a little and closes his eyes, feeling like he's sinking and melting away into the pillow while Chaelin works on his back and relieves a whole lot of tension in his tight muscles. Riley has been bulking up lately and he carries it off well. He was never meant to be scrawny and skinny as he stands at over six feet with a naturally very broad build so he suits having some meat on his bones. Everyone always jokes about how big and threatening he looks despite him being one of the sweetest people ever. Although, Chaelin can probably tell just by looking at his muscles that if he ever needs to defend himself and drop the golden boy attitude for a while, he'd have no problem causing a lot of damage if he wanted to. "Well since I'm now your unpaid personal trainer, I think you being my unpaid masseuse makes up for it, don't you think?" Riley chuckles and lifts his head from the pillow briefly to look over his shoulder back at Chaelin when she asks if he needs his legs done. He didn't expect Chaelin to offer as it can seem rather intimate, especially when it reaches the thigh area and he didn't think she'd be comfortable with it. Riley was in dire need of one though so when she offers and makes it clear that she's obviously cool with it, he nods and smiles softly. "Uh...yeah..yeah, sure. Thanks." Riley kneels on the bed and starts to take down his sweatpants, accidentally tugging on the back of his boxers and showing off a decent portion of his bottom to her for the first time. He pulls the boxers back up quickly and doesn't mention it, feeling a bit embarrassed. Moving and wriggling around, he gets the sweatpants down and off over his feet, dropping them onto the floor before laying back on his stomach as he waits for his tense thighs and calves to be massaged. His thighs are rather chunky and the application of oil can only make them look even better.

Riley places his hands behind his head as he turns over for the massage and lays on his back. He looks up at the ceiling or closes his eyes for the majority of the rub as looking directly at Chaelin while she touches his body in different places seems rather unsettling and a little awkward. He gives her the occasional look though when talking to her, not to forget his manners and give her eye contact when they address one another. "Well Finding Tom is premiering in January so people will finally get to see it. I've been offered a few things but right now I just want to focus on the band. We've got another tour in late spring, the third album...it's all go, you know?" Riley smiles and is glad that he had something to talk about briefly as it distracted from the accidental slip of Chaelin's hand which could be awkward for both parties if dwelt upon. Laying outstretched in just his rather snug fitting black boxers, it's understandable how Chaelin is feeling right now. Riley has a great body and like Billy mentioned, the bulge he has on him is really thick despite not even being hard yet. "What you thinking about?" he asks with a little laugh, noticing that Chaelin has a sort of mischievous look upon her face which is probably due to the comical Billy tweets she's recalling. Riley moves his hips to get into a more comfortable position, causing the bulge to move and ultimately drawing more attention to it.

"Oh yeah? What tweets are you thinking of? Billy makes a whole lot of comments and observations." Riley laughs and moves around again slightly. As Chaelin continues to massage him, her hands and eyes travelling upwards to a certain area, Riley starts to fit it all together and is starting to realise that she may be talking about his bulge. Things may take a sexual turn and that is fine with Riley. He may be a rather reserved person with a good heart but he's also a young male at a certain age who has many urges, needs and desires.. When her fingers roll inside the edge of his boxers, he has a little smirk on his face and ever so slightly spreads his legs to allow easier access. Chaelin seems to be fine with it so Riley is still going along with her. He isn't the type to rush into things, especially if his partner looks or feels uncomfortable about it. Forcing someone to do something sexual when they aren't ready is one of the most horrible things to Riley. They have been seeing each other for some time now and Chaelin is the one making the boldest moves so everything is going smoothly. "Well you probably got a look at my bum earlier due to the little wardrobe malfunction so what's a little more thigh rubbing?" he jokes and looks at her with his infectious smile. Even during intimate moments like this, Riley still has an innocence to him.

When Chaelin moves her hands inside Riley's boxers, he takes a sharp breath in and jumps a little as the further up she goes, the more sensitive he becomes. Although being all built and manly, Riley has very soft and sensitive skin which Chaelin probably noticed during the massage. Riley blushes and can't help but laugh as he remembers Billy's comments. "My fat willy? Well...I uh, I guess it's true...better than having a fat tummy area, right?" He chuckles and looks down at his boxers. Riley honestly didn't see himself as "fat" until it became a little joke and he's only starting to realise it now. When Chaelin kisses his stomach, Riley closes his eyes briefly, just relaxing and enjoying the tender kisses as they come. As the massaging and rubbing of his abs starts, he opens his eyes again and looks down at Chaelin, obviously enjoying his view as she leans in closer. It's now apparent to Riley that this is no time to sit back and relax. It's time to sit up and pay attention as things are moving from playful to a lot more intimate. When she asks about his surfing and refers to his abs again, Riley decides to pick up on it, knowing that she must really have a thing for his abs as she has mentioned them a few times and made a habit of touching and kissing them. "Yeah, I surf a lot when I go to Australia. Can't slack even when I'm in a beautiful, relaxing and hot country. You know I love to work on these abs...guess it's all paying off. You really like them, yeah?" he asks, purposely tightening his stomach to make his abs more pronounced. The bulge in his boxers gradually begins to grow. If it looked thick and intimidating before, Chaelin hasn't seen anything yet

It was a big day for April Banks. She had never taken anyone home to meet her parents before, but this year was different. She was happy and in what she thought was the best relationship of her life, and she had a fantastic job to add to that as well. She was in a great place in her life, and she wanted her parents to meet the person who was the reason for the smile they had seen so often on Skype in the past few months.

Driving through the suburbs of Montreal, it was a beautiful sight. Snow everywhere and Christmas decorations adorning every house on the street she had grown up on and really did miss a lot these days. She smiles as she looks at all the houses, before she eventually pulls into the side of the road, looking up at the lovely big house in front of her car now. It was the house she had grown up in and it was amazing to be here for the first time since she had got her new star studded PR job.

Turning to her passenger, who was about to meet her parents for the first time, she smiles widely. "Are you nervous?" she asks, giggling a little, as she holds her hand out in a way to show support.

April smiles at the deep in thought Alex as she stares out of the window. She looked so peaceful right now, and as always she looked incredibly beautiful, those green eyes deep in her own thoughts. Before they had met, at her job interview some months before, no less, Alex had always seemed like the tough, no nonsense member of SYNCO. And she was, but April also got to see the other side of her in private, and she thought it was really cute that Alex would let herself relax around her and show that even though she was the tough one, she still had another side to herself. April smiles when she turns and smiles back, listening to her air her concerns.

She shakes her head and squeezes Alex's hand reassuringly. "Don't be nervous," she smiles, leaning over to give her girlfriend a gentle kiss on the lips. "They know you're coming and they didn't like freak out when I told them so I think you're good," she said with a little chuckle. She looks down at their hands together and smiles warmly again. It just looked right, and so sweet, to see Alex holding her hand like that, and it made her happy. There was no time of the year where it was nicer to be in a relationship than at Christmas. "Me? Well...yeah, I'm like..shaking a bit, I suppose," she laughs, exaggeratedly shaking from side to side. In truth, she really was nervous. This was new ground for her. Much like Alex, she had never dated a girl until they met each other and clicked instantly, and she had certainly never thought she'd be bringing a girl home to meet her parents. She just hoped they would react well. "Shall we go in?" April smirks nervously, opening the car door.

After the kiss breaks, April grins at Alex. It was so nice to be with someone who reacted to a kiss in that way. Guys she had been with in the past never seemed to appreciate the intimacy of a kiss like Alex did. Being with her was something special to April. How they got together had been so weird. It had just sort of happened when they were alone one night, working on a press release. They had been joking around and then out of nowhere they kissed. Since then, they had grown to really like each other, and it was such a fantastic experience to April. Every day with Alex was new and exciting, and she loved that. They had even done well to keep it mostly a secret until now. Literally no one outside of SYNCO had known they were an item until she had told her parents they were coming.

As they get out of the car, April locks the door and puts the keys in her pocket as she comes around to join Alex, crunching through the snow on their way to the door. She loved the weather here in winter, and she was glad she could experience it with someone she was really into like Alex. She walks to the door and is just abut to knock when Alex speaks. She stops and turns to look at her, sighing and laughing. "Stop worrying," she says, rubbing Alex's arm. "You look so gorgeous. As you always do," she smiles. "As for them liking you? Well....." she says, pulling a funny face. "I'm joking, they'll love you," she smiles, sticking her tongue out. "Who wouldn't like you? You're amazing," she smiles, linking arms with Alex as she lifts the heavy knocker on the door and gives it three loud bangs. "Just don't tell them what we get up to in private and they'll be fine," she jokes, sticking her tongue out again as she hears someone approaching the door. Eventually the door opens, a small woman, who doesn't look too unlike April, but older, answers the door, immediately looking confused.

"Ape!" she beams, looking from side to side but trying her best to not look as confused as she clearly was. She hugs April tightly, a hug which April reciprocates, almost lifting her mother clean off her feet. "You brought a friend? I thought you were bringing your boyfriend? Alex?" her mother says. April had never told her parents she was attracted to girls, so this moment was clearly confusing her mother to no end, which made April want to almost laugh out loud, but she was sure she had mentioned that Alex was a girl on the phone. Hadn't she? She definitely never said boyfriend, so her parent must have just assumed. She linked arms with Alex again and squeezes gently, wondering if Alex can also sense the confusion and what has happened.
