Chapter 3
"Hey, are you sure you want me to meet him?" Riley looked at him quizzically. "I mean, I don't think you know if you like me yet." He chuckled lightly. "I just don't want to overstep my boundaries, if this is family time." Her beautiful eyes glanced around the elevator.
"I like you Lucas."
"You do?" His smile, forced one out of Riley.
"Yeah, you aren't a complete jerk." She mumbled.
"What prevents me from just not being a jerk at all?" She giggled, and saw they were almost to his floor.
"Probably the fact you're still flirting with me when you have Lindsey." His eyelids fluttered. "Even if I was interested in dating someone, it doesn't look good you being with someone else and openly flirting."
The elevator dinged and the steel doors slowly opened. "I'm sorry, I don't want you to think i'm a cheater." He moved for her arm. "Riley."
The brown eyed girl glanced at him with a smile. "Yes?"
"I don't want you to think bad of me. At all. Especially because i'd like to ask you on a date once i'm single." She giggled.
"That's flattering, but i'm not dating." The brunette opened the hospital door, to avoid the look of disappointment on his face. "Hey bubba." Lucas stepped in the room, completely unaware of what to expect. At the moment he had a vest on that was shaking his chest and a breathing tube in, Auggie looked completely worn out. Riley laid in bed next to him and poked his nose.
"Who's that?" He questioned.
"That's my friend Lucas. He drove me up here and he wanted to meet you. Lucas, this is my little brother Auggie." Lucas grinned.
"What up little man?"
"Hi." He released a light grin with his whisper.
"Aug, Lucas is quarterback on the football team and good friends with Uncle Josh." Lucas pulled the chair up to his bedside.
"Whenever you get out of here, you can hang out on the sideline with me. How does that sound?" Riley's brother tried to raise himself up, clearly elated about the idea. "Easy bud." The brunette was seeing a different side of the quarterback. When he comforted her before she felt it was purely flirting, now it seems like he genuinely cared, and she liked it.
Topanga and Cory left them alone to go eat. Lucas and Auggie basically excluded Riley from the conversation that lasted over 2 hours and was only disrupted when the nurse walked in. "I'm sorry Riley, but he needs to get some rest."
"Thanks Molly, I understand." Lucas loved that she knew every nurse by name and she turned her attention to her little brother. "I gotta go. I'll see you tomorrow? After practice, swear." She kissed his head and Lucas helped her out of bed.
Auggie coughed and inhaled. "You too?" Glancing at the green eyed man. The brown eyed girl didn't object as she slipped her shoes back on.
"Sure, i'll come up after my practice." Riley smiled.

"Your brother is great." He buckled his seatbelt and grinned. "He's so funny, and nice."
"Thank you, he's perfect." She loved it when people bragged on her little brother.
He bit his lip, afraid to ask. "You hungry?" Riley rolled her head on the headrest and smirked. "Fine." The quarterback chuckled.
