Chapter 4-Things End

Chapter 4

"MY BEST FRIEND IS BEAUTIFUL!" Exclaimed Maya. "I haven't seen you this fancy since-"

"Last years charity auction, where Charlie bought me? Ugh, I sincerely hope that doesn't happen again." Riley put her earring back on and stepped back to stare at herself in the full length mirror. The jeweled waist line seperated the white chiffon from the lace overlay on top, overall she was pretty okay with the way she looked.

"I'm surprised your dad lets you leave the house looking like this." The blonde giggled.

"I'm 18, but he was the reason my dress was very conservative last year. But this year, I don't care if an 90 year old man buys me, it's one date, one night and it's for CF. To help find a cure for my little brother." The brunette slipped on her royal blue heels. "Walk me out?"

"NO!" Cory exclaimed as soon as she stepped into the living area.

"Dad, please don't. In the end i'm going, in this dress, to an auction to help fund a cure for my little brothers disease." Her forehead was creased and softened when her dad hugged her.

"You're the best big sister anyone could ask for. Love you sweetheart."

"Love you daddy."

Topanga scurried from the kitchen. "Hold on, picture. Say cheese."

"Cheese!"

"Riley Matthews, how is your brother?" She nodded her head but didn't use her words. "So, please head back behind the curtain at 8 o'clock that's when we start the auction. They'll flash the lights."

"Yes m'am." Riley's heels clacked against the marble floor of the hotel lobby. The wooden doors opened and it was just as beautiful as it was last year. Tables covered in white table cloths, and lights hidden behind white chiffon fabric, it might as well have been a winter wonderland theme. The brunette put on a smile to look presentable and friendly, to start making her rounds of introductions. The dancer hoped more than anything she'd be able to bring in a sizable donation. The record was $2101 and that record was held by Missy Bradford from last year, she only did things like this for the attention but either way, a donation is a donation.

"Riley?" Her brown curls flipped around when she heard his voice.

"Oh thank God." The brunette gave Lucas a hug, that he happily accepted. "Wait, what are you doing here?"

"I convinced my parents to donate, but I had to come to represent the family. What are you doing here?" She glared and a sarcastic smile came to her face. "You're being auctioned off?" YES! He could buy her. Though he hated that term.

"Ding, ding, ding." Lucas' jaw dropped when he finally got a good look at her. "Thank you for choosing to donate though, it really means a lot."

"LUCAS!" Riley moved her head to see who shouted his name. "I was wondering where you disappeared to."

"Lindsey this is my friend Riley. Riley this is Lindsey my girlfriend." The brunette smiled.

"Hi, it's so nice to meet you. I've heard a lot about you." The girls shook hands.

"All good things I hope." Lindsey uttered.

"Oh, absolutely." The green eyed man was a little uncomfortable with the situation but they seemed to be getting along. Then again, Riley got along with most everyone.

"I love your dress, are you being auctioned off?" Riley nodded. "Lucas, you should so buy her. I trust her more than that Missy girl." Her dainty fingers covered her mouth to stop a laugh.
