She was the queen of hiding emotions.
Audrey looked good tonight, hot really, and if Levi Moss didn’t want her, well, damn it, someone freaking did. She made her way back inside, going to where Lucas had rented them a VIP area. Audrey couldn’t help but be a little dreamy at the thought of her future brother-in-law. He was the perfect man and everything Fallon needed. Audrey could only hope that she could find a man even half of what Lucas was. He treated Fallon like the queen she was. He was the best father imaginable, and even loved Audrey with everything inside him.
He was Prince Charming.
Audrey had rooted for Fallon and Lucas since the day Fallon had told her about him. She would never forget the day she met Lucas Brooks outside of her family’s wine company. He looked like a love sick fool, and she couldn’t help wanting to help him. Man, how so much had changed. A small smile came across Audrey’s face as she thought that within a week, Fallon and Lucas would be married in front of over a thousand people. They had been through so much, and thank sweet baby Jesus, Fallon finally got her head out of her ass and saw what was in front of her.
The perfect man.
When Audrey spotted Fallon laughing while being surrounded by all the women who loved her, her heart skipped a beat. Fallon was dazzling in her one shoulder lace black dress with ruffled black heels. When she came down the long staircase of their home, Lucas’ chest had puffed out and he looked like he was going to object to the outfit. But he didn’t. He only said she looked gorgeous.
Sigh.
With her hair in a swoopy bun and her make-up applied to perfection, Audrey couldn’t help but envy her older sister. But it wasn’t just her beauty that Audrey envied. In seven days, she wouldn’t be Fallon Parker anymore. She would be Fallon Brooks, and even though Audrey had already said goodbye when they moved out a couple months back, Audrey still hadn’t accepted the fact that she wasn’t Fallon’s number two anymore. Lucas was.
Fallon couldn’t have picked a better man to replace Audrey, but it still hurt. She missed her sister, and she missed her nephew, Aiden, but they were moving on and no matter what, Audrey had to be happy for them. She wanted Fallon to have her Happily Ever After, she did, but the selfish part of Audrey hoped she never would. She had always hoped that it would always be the three of them, but now it was just her…all alone. Audrey didn’t even have a dog or cat to love; she was completely alone, especially now that Levi had left.
Well isn’t that just a happy thought.
When Audrey eyes drifted over to where Elli Adler and Harper Titov sat, her jealously grew. Elli and Harper were the epitome of happy women. Both married to amazingly gorgeous, sweet hockey players…sigh…and both having perfect little children…another sigh. It wasn’t fair, they were like a club. An ‘I’m married to a sexy hockey player; have amazing children and life couldn’t be better and oh! I look good while doing it all!’ Club.
It was sickening really.
Elli was glowing in her black sheath dress and platform red Jimmy Choo heels while Harper was smoky hot in her short silver tube-top dress with matching heels. With Fallon sitting beside them, looking just as happy as they were, Audrey knew that she would be joining the ‘I’m married to a sexy hockey player; have amazing children and life couldn’t be better and oh! I look good while doing it all!’ Club, while Audrey would be alone, with no one.
It was so depressing. Where was that damn tiny violin when you need one?
When Audrey glanced over at Piper and Reese Allen, Harper’s twin sisters, things started to look up. They looked as miserable as Audrey felt, and that alone made Audrey feel a tad bit better. She had known about the twin sisters, but never met them until recently. Reese was a gorgeous brunette with hair all the way down to her bottom. She had moss green eyes and pouty lips, with the sickest style imaginable. She looked so much more like her older sister, Harper, than she did her twin. Reese had just moved back from New York to open a dance studio in Nashville and from what Audrey heard, she was spectacular.
It was nice to meet Reese but Audrey didn’t click with her the way she had with Piper. Piper was a hoot, hands down. When Audrey went to Tiffany’s to buy Fallon’s bridal gift, Piper was her sales girl, and Audrey knew from that moment on that Piper was going to be her friend. Unlike Harper and Reese’s dark features, Piper’s were light. Her hair was a light brown, and her eyes were a sparkly blue. She had the same pouty lips and a cute little button nose but hers was in a small little package. She was shorter than Audrey, and that was saying something. But all in all, Piper was sweet, and Audrey just adored her.
Piper glanced up and smiled as Audrey made her way to the spot beside Fallon. When she sat down, Fallon looked over, grinning as she held a shot out to Audrey. “You’re behind! Drink!”
Audrey obliged, not only because Fallon asked her to, but because she needed to forget the conversation between her and Levi that was on replay in her brain and that her sister was getting married. As the five women threw back shots, Elli sat on the side, watching. Audrey felt bad as she smiled over at Elli. It had to be hard watching a bunch of women drink, especially when she couldn’t. But Elli being the sweet person she was, grinned widely at them.
“Please get your tubes tied after this one!” Audrey said as the alcohol burned down her throat. What the hell had Fallon given her?
Elli nodded, “Already planned. I’m done. No matter what Shea says.”
Harper hiccupped before giggling, “Whatever. He’ll knock her up a week before the procedure! He’s on a mission!”
