Trying to Score

Damn it! He had eyeliner on!
“Fallon darlin’,” Rob said in his squeaky flamboyant voice, “I hadn’t seen you ‘til now, you’ve been hiding?”
“Oh honey,” Fallon said, begging Rob with her eyes to act straight. “I’ve been busy selling the wine.”
“Oh, of course, gorgeous as always,” he said with a wave of his long pale hand before looking over at Lucas. “And who is this hunk of a man?”
Oh Jesus. Really?
Of course, Lucas couldn’t contain his laughter and about fell over on the floor as he giggled. Fallon glared as Rob looked back over at Fallon.
“Was it something I said?” Rob said.
“No honey, ignore him,” Fallon said as Lucas sat up.
“So how long have you guys been together?” Lucas asked. Lucas’ eyes watered from trying to keep in his laughter, and Fallow swore if she could hit him, she would.
“Together?” Rob asked looking over at Fallon.
Acting before thinking - not one of her best traits - Fallon nodded before leaning up and placing her lips on Rob’s. It was only for a second but it felt like an hour because everything went quiet around her. Lucas stopped laughing and Rob froze underneath her lips. She swore the whole room stopped, but really it didn’t. Oh gosh, this just kept getting worse by the minute.
When she pulled back, she smiled up at Rob’s shocked face and said, “A long time, right honey?”
Fallon glanced over at Lucas, one of his eyebrows was arched as his face quirked up on one side. It made Fallon’s heart skip a beat since it was the exact same smile Aiden would give her when he was amused. “It is that serious that you had to kiss this kid to make me believe you have a boyfriend?”
“He is,” Fallon answered.
“Who? Me?” Rob sputtered.
“Yes you, silly! Goodness me! Am I that horrible?”
“No,” Rob said with his hand in front of his chest, “not at all.”
“Thanks Rob,” Fallon said, and at that moment, Fallon knew her plan had just gone to shit. Rob was still wiping his mouth as Lucas just grinned widely at her.
“So Rob, this hot woman, is your girlfriend?” Lucas asked, and Fallon shot daggers at him with her eyes.
Rob looked at Fallon before looking back over at Lucas. He started to shake his head no as he said, “Yes, she is.”
That had Lucas in a fit of laughter as Fallon glared something crazy at him. “Thanks a lot Rob.”
“I’m sorry, but who picks an openly g*y guy as their boyfriend!” Rob said throwing his arms in the air. “I’m wearing an orange suit!”
“A nice suit at that,” Lucas added.
“Thanks!” Rob said before looking back at Fallon, “but really, I’m the worst person to pick for a fake boyfriend, since I like guys.”
With that Rob walked off, leaving Fallon extremely embarrassed and actually considering firing him. She would if he wasn’t so good at the marketing reports that made her head spin. Fallon couldn’t help but to watch her ‘boyfriend’ clad in an orange suit walk away. She wished like hell that Rob wasn’t g*y so he could act like her boyfriend because this reunion between Fallon and Lucas was not going the way she wanted it too.
Posing a g*y guy as her boyfriend? Not one of her best ideas.
Fallon wanted to look successful, sexy — a stronger woman then he left behind. She basically wanted to make Lucas jealous, not give him the entertainment of the night! That’s what she paid the band for! She hated that she had made a mess of things. Lying was never her strong suit; and she knew Lucas wasn’t gonna let her live this down.
“So how about that dance, since I think your boyfriend is g*y,” Lucas determined.
Heat filled Fallon’s face as she wished Lucas to the fiery depths of hell. “Oh f**k off, Lucas Brooks.”
 
As Fallon turned and walked away, Lucas couldn’t help but laugh. He stopped when he heard the sound of her high heels clicking on the floor. He looked over, his eyes falling on her fine ass swaying from side to side. Lucas couldn’t form a word or even breathe as he watched her ass move in that tight little black dress. His dick was rock hard and it begged to be inside her. Lucas knew she probably thought he was a dog because of how he was hitting on her, but it was hard not to. He had to have her. Plus, Lucas knew she used to like it when he openly hit on her.
But maybe that was something else that had changed about her?
Fallon was so different now, but so much was the same it blew his mind. She was polished but still knew how to cuss like a sailor and that alone turned him on. She was successful now, and he loved that because he knew how much she wanted that when they were together. She wanted her independence from her father, and Lucas could tell she had succeeded.
She was still single, which surprised him and also made him feel on top of the world. How was she still single after all these years? He expected that she would be married by now with a child or two. She always said that she wanted kids before she was thirty, but she didn’t have any. Lucas too wanted children, and at one point they both decided that they would want them as soon as they were married. But what if she did have a child? Surely, she would have told him if she had one. He couldn’t try to score with a mommy; that was wrong.
But then again, mommies needed love too.
So he would ixnay that last thought — even if Fallon had a kid he would still pursue her. He could deal with baby daddy issues and a little one, hell he loved kids, so no big deal. The big deal was getting Fallon back, and he was dead set on doing that.
