Everything I could ask for. (Completed)

The walk to the Dining Hall with Morgan was the longest walk from Barnes Hall ever. The two just walked in complete silence. And to make matters worse Mads was still hungover from last night's celebration of her hat trick. "The weather, it's nice." Is that really what Morgan just said, to break the tension? "Yeah...I guess." She shook her head, why did he have to act so awkward at all the wrong times? "Congrats Madeline! Such a great game last night!" Maggie a girl from her Econ class yelled at her from across the quad. She gave her a wave. "Thanks Maggie!" She was kind of a mini celebrity on campus now. She opened the doors to the student center housing one of the dining halls and slammed it in Morgan's face. She smirked a little. Okay maybe it wasn't the nicest thing to do, but it was done.

She walked into the Au Bon Pain line and Morgan followed, in silence, once again. After they got their Bacon, Egg and Cheese's and waters they sat down and stared back and forth at one another. "You're made at me." She rolled her eyes. "You and Aaron are so close again, we're close again. Why send me that text? What do you want to talk about?" Madeline for once wanted to be drama free, and Morgs was just bringing it to the front line. "I am sorry, I just needed to talk to you alone." She rubbed her face and looked at him. "About what?" She was hungover, and tired, and sore and her bed with her hunky boyfriend was calling her name. "I met a girl." Madeline knew this day was going to come, but not this soon. "Wow." Mads didn't know what to feel she shouldn't feel anything, she was with Aaron and Morgan was single. Completely and Utterly single. "Who is she?" She was curious after all, this was the first girl after her that Morgan had even brought up to his supposed best friend. "Her name is Lauren, I met her in the 'Peg, she just moved to Toronto for school and I really like her. I think we have something special." Madeline's heart dropped a little. It stung a little, she and Morgan had this special connection and now he was having it with some blonde bimbo. She didn't actually know what "Lauren" looked like but she must be blonde, with blue eyes, they would probably make beautiful, blonde and blue eyed children together. "I am happy for you Morgan, truly." She gave him her signature smile. She was faking it, she wasn't happy for him.

"I just wanted to tell you before we became official. She's going to be around ya know, like at games and holiday parties, and team parties and bonding sessions. And once you have break you'll be home. And I just don't want you to be uncomfortable. Since you know, we're dunzo." Dunzo, Morgan Reilly and Madeline Gilmore didn't have a romantic anything anymore. So why every time she saw him, her heart fluttered a little? And why every time she texted him, and he didn't answer right away, her heart sank a little? Why? "She's drama free, and it just feels so right Mads." Drama Free. One thing Madeline wasn't. Drama followed Madeline with every step she took, every breath she breathed. Drama was Madeline Gilmore. "Well I can't wait to meet her." Her chest tightened. "Good! Because that's why I came down this weekend, we're playing Boston next week, and I thought maybe she can come down, and you guys could watch the game together." Was he really expecting her to become best friends with his new "girlfriend." Did he finally lose his marbles? "Yeah, maybe." She saw his smile fade a little. "Mads I really want you guys to get along. For me please?" She looked at ocean blue puppy dog eyes, and caved. "Fine, I'll go to the stupid game with her. Now show me pictures." She conjured up a fake smile for him, she would never ever go to this game with this girl alone. Like ever.

Aaron Ekblad walked into the closest dining hall to Madeline's dorm and cut the Au Bon Pain line. With a BC Hockey dri-fit sweatshirt on, and his NHL Panthers hat, the kid in back of him probably thought he was a BC Hockey team member who happened to be a Panthers prospect, not an Overall First pick, first round NHL player. The one thing he and Sidney Crosby had in common. "Can I get an Iced Coffee, and a Bacon, Egg and Cheese please." The cashier looked at him, like she was trying to figure out who on the Hockey team he was. "Name." He shifted his hat down more. "Morgan Rielly." He smirked. Priceless. "Alright Morgan Rielly. 10.50." Madeline payed these fucking crazy prices? "Seriously?" He stared at the Cashier. "Do I look like I am joking?" He handed her his credit card. Hopefully she wouldn't look at the name. It didn't say Morgan Rielly on there. "Thank you Morgan Rielly." She really needed to stop repeating the name. He went over to the line of people waiting for food and turned around to face the kids in the cafe, he loved people watching. His eyes wafted over two figures who vaguely looked like Mads and Morgs.

But why would they be eating breakfast without him? He texted Mads and she never answered him, he just thought she went to breakfast with her family. And he definitely thought Morgan was chilling with Tyler. He grabbed his Iced Coffee and his BE&C and walked over to the two figures. It was the two shady motherfuckers. He smirked. "Well hello dumb and dumber, what's up?" He grabbed a chair and pulled it up to their table. "Oh hey Eky. Had a nice sleep?" He kissed Mads cheek. "Eh it was pretty good, there wasn't much sleeping involved. If ya know what I mean Riells." A second later he felt Madeline's Nike sneaker clad foot colliding with his shin. She just kicked him. Wow did that hurt. He winced. "Yes it was a nice sleep Morgan." Her glare turned into a smile. "So what are we talking about, my favorite two people in the world." He slumped his arms around the two of them, group hug. He loved their group hugs. He took a good bite of his Bacon, Egg and Cheese on a Bagel. It was actually really good. "Morgan has a girlfriend." Aaron almost choked. "What?" He blurted out.

"Yup. Our little Morgan has a girlfriend." Finally, now he could stop third wheeling, and maybe butt out of their relationship once and for all. "Well, my main man Morgs. Is she a smoke show? She has to be a smoke show!" Morgan smirked. "Wow she is a smoke. Good for you Riells. I am happy your happy." He looked over at Madeline. He knew that stuck up face/glare/look. She wasn't happy for him. She still wanted the best of both worlds. When was he ever going to be enough for her? Was he ever? "Mads aren't you happy for Morgan?" He gave her a big smile. "So happy, so completely happy." She was such a liar.

"Well Morgan. Your girlfriend is probably missing you, you can totally head back to Toronto if you want! I think I got it covered on the Boston front." He smiled at him. "I am okay, the weekend's not over yet. It's only Saturday. And Pre Season hasn't even really started yet. I am going to go find Tyler. I am done anyway. Have fun you two. Don't do anything I wouldn't do." And with that Morgan got up, threw out his trash and left them alone with their thoughts. "I love that guy, I am so happy we're the three amigos." He was totally being sarcastic to piss her off. "She's such a whore, I saw pictures. And he has the audacity to ask me to go to the TML-Bruins game next week with her. I'd rather die." He looked at her. "You Madeline Gilmore, are jealous. Of Morgan's girlfriend! I'll be in your room. When you want to spend time with your actual boyfriend, I'll be there." He walked away. Morgan will always be in the rear view mirror with him and Mads. He loved this Lauren girl already.
*******************
"We're the three amigos alright." Madeline said out loud as she took a bite of her sandwich and bit down on her tongue in the process. "Fuck my life." Now she had to actually spend time with this slutbag whore. This was going to be fun. And what was Aaron's issue? Maybe the Florida sun was getting to his brain.
