Trying to Score
Page 24

Fallon let out an aggravated breath, and his dick twitched at the sound. “For one, I am not your baby girl, and for two, you’re a pig.”
Lucas laughed, and Fallon looked away again, but he saw her hiding her grin. Her face was flushed and he knew she was thinking of those nice memories, just like he was. “How have you been?”
She looked back over at him, shrugging her shoulders. “Fine and you?”
“Alright, lonely.”
“Like I believe that,” she scoffed.
He smiled. “I have been.”
“I doubt that, you have no problem finding women, Lucas.”
Okay, not the topic he wanted right now.
“I tried to get a hold of you when you left,” he said without thinking. It was like he was 21 again, with diarrhea of the mouth. Fallon did that to him, made him share things he wouldn’t even share with Levi.
“And I ignored you,” she said so coldly that he was convinced he had frostbite.
Lucas slowly nodded, this was not going the way he thought it would. He thought that with one look she would remember everything they had, and maybe she would forgive him. He needed her forgiveness because he needed her. Lucas had needed her for years, but never had the chance to get her back.
Now, he did.
They stood, staring at each other while in Lucas’s head, Gavin DeGraw sung about not being over the girl he loved. Lucas could kill Levi for listening to the song on the way to the party because now it was the theme song of his reunion with Fallon.
“Why?” he found himself asking.
Fallon let out another aggravated breath before looking away. “I’m not doing this here. We had our awkward reunion, things are over, and nothing will change. So let it be.”
“Why does it have to be like that, we were good together.”
“Until you f**ked it up, but it don’t matter, I have a boyfriend.”
Lucas narrowed his eyes. He knew when Fallon lied, and at that moment she was lying her ass off. Her face always turned red, and her eyes would go wide as she searched for something to look at so she wouldn’t have to look at him, just like she was doing now. What did she think? If she had a boyfriend he wasn’t going to try to get with her? Or maybe that he would move along. Shit. She belonged with him, no dude would come between that. He wasn’t going anywhere until he had her. So why was she lying? Lucas looked down at her a little longer before a slow grin went across his face when he realized the reason.
She wasn’t over him.
**************************************************
Damn it!
Lucas always knew when Fallon lied, and she knew he was on to her. Why she thought saying she had a boyfriend would stop this little reunion was beyond her.
They both knew it wouldn’t.
Lucas was the kind of guy that if he set his mind to something, he wasn’t gonna quit until he had it. So basically she was screwed. He was gonna be her permanent hemorrhoid unless she called the cops and got a restraining order.
Hmm….not a half-bad idea.
“You should dance with me,” Lucas said. Fallon looked up to see his eyes filling with lust.
Lord, he was gorgeous. She knew exactly what Lucas was always feeling with just one look in his eyes. They said so much about him, they were what made him to Fallon. She loved when he would give her that look — the one that told her exactly what he wanted to do to her. By the way his eyes swept over her body, it didn’t take much to guess what he wanted to do. Fallon’s eyes said the same, he was a beautiful piece of man meat…but it didn’t matter!
Even if he was gorgeous, he was a pig! For seven years she hadn’t heard from him and one of the first things he brings up is sex! Even if it did make her hot from head to toe — because she could very well describe in detail how it sounded when her name was being screamed from his lips — it still screamed pig to her. There was no way in hell she was gonna let him see his child! He was still the same man-whore he was back then, and no way would she subject her beautiful, sweet boy to this monster!
Fallon rolled her eyes and looked away. “I told you, I have a boyfriend. He wouldn’t like me dancing with other guys,” Fallon lied, because really, she couldn’t handle being so close to him.
His body against hers? Um, No.
She’d forget all the reasons why he was the worst idea imaginable.
“I know you don’t have a man Fallon. If you did, he would be beside you. I know I would be,” he said with a knowing grin.
“He’s here,” Fallon said quickly as she scanned the room for Rob. She hadn’t seen him all night, and when her eyes fell on him, she wished the next statement wouldn’t have left her lips. “His name is…Robert Slater and he’s right over there actually.” Fallon pointed to where her assistant stood clad in his orange suit.
Why is God’s name did she say Rob was her boyfriend?
Lucas looked over at Rob, and his mouth pulled up at one side. “That’s your boyfriend? In the orange suit?”
“Why yes, company pride. You wear your team colors,” Fallon said defensively. Truth was she didn’t know why the hell Rob insisted on wearing such a God-awful suit. He looked plum crazy!
“So you want me to believe that you have a boyfriend that wears an orange suit that is tighter than your dress?” Lucas asked with laughter dancing in his eyes.
Fuck. She had forgotten that factor. Why did she feel that her plan was not working?
“Yes, he likes things fitted.” Just then, Rob made his way towards them with a big bright smile on his face. Fallon smiled up at her ‘boyfriend’ until she noticed his eyes were extra dark.
