Trying to Score
Page 43

It was Lucas.
He stood with Levi beside him, but Fallon couldn’t even take her eyes from Lucas’ to acknowledge Levi. Lucas’ eyes were so dull, so sad, and Fallon couldn’t catch her breath as she looked up at him.
“We need to talk,” Lucas said, knocking her out of her trance.
Fuck.
Chapter 11
“We do?”
It figured that Fallon still turned him on, even after everything she had done.
Just figures.
Fallon had flour on her nose and basically all over her. She wore a very low cut blue shirt that showed off her beautiful, perky br**sts. Her jeans hung low, tight along her thighs and he was pretty sure if she turned around, her ass would have his dick hard with just one glance.
He wasn’t here to check her out though, or to try to get her in bed. He came to talk about his son.
“Obviously Fallon, come on,” Lucas said.
“Oh, well. Uh, we’re kinda busy, you should have called,” she stuttered, causing his eye to twitch. His eyes always did that when his temper was about to snap, but he knew he couldn’t yell at her so he took a deep breath in.
“I don’t have your number, so I came over. This can be done between us, or I can get lawyers involved — your decision.”
Fallon’s face heated as she took a step towards him. “Don’t threaten me,” she all but growled out.
“I’m not trying to, I just want to talk about our…”
“Who is it Mommy?”
Fallon turned quickly, revealing Aiden.
Aiden James.
Lucas’ little boy.
Lucas took in the sight of the gorgeous little boy. Aiden looked so much like him that it blew his mind. How did he make a person that could be his twin? When Aiden smiled, it took Lucas’ breath away.
He smiled like that.
It was his lady-killer smile, and it filled Lucas with such pride to know his son could do it at the age of…Yeah, that was sad, he didn’t even know how old his kid was.
“Hey! You’re back,” Aiden said with a grin. “I’m Aiden James Brooks,” he said, holding out his hand. Lucas didn’t move.
Aiden James Brooks? Fallon had given Aiden his name?
Yeah, Lucas was pretty sure he was having a heart attack.
He reached out, taking the boy’s small hand in his massive one. Aiden’s grin was infectious, and Lucas couldn’t fight the smile that formed on his face.
“I’m Lucas James Brooks.”
Everyone was silent for a moment as Aiden slowly nodded his head, the same big grin never leaving his sweet little face. “Hey we have the same name, except I’m Aiden and you’re Lucas.”
“Yup, okay honey, isn’t it time for you to go to bed?” Fallon asked, causing Aiden to pull away from Lucas. Lucas felt empty as the little guy looked up at his mother with his eyes wide, and his arms slamming against his side.
How did this little boy already have his heart with just one grin? Or was it three days ago, when he asked who Lucas was?
“Mom, it’s Friday!”
“That’s right Mom, gosh!” Audrey said, coming up beside Aiden. “Go get your shoes bud. Let’s go out for a while. Mommy and Lucas need to talk.”
Lucas looked over at Fallon, seeing that she was freaking out silently. Her eyes were wide as her mouth opened and closed like a guppy. Gosh, she was so cute.
“Oh so, Lucas can’t come?” Aiden asked as Audrey smiled at him while Fallon made a face of distress.
What was that about?
“No baby, like I said, they need to talk grownup stuff. Let’s go get ice cream, and maybe go to the movies!”
“Really?! Awesome!” Aiden ran off with nothing more than a punch in the air. Kid was quick. Lucas smiled. He was probably fast as hell on skates.
Just like his daddy.
“Audrey, you don’t have to leave,” Fallon said through her teeth. Lucas couldn’t help but smile. She was so cute when she didn’t like the situation she was put in. Too bad he didn’t care because they had things to discuss.
“Yes, we do. Aiden doesn’t need to witness World War Three between you two,” Audrey said before she pinned Levi with a look. Lucas looked over to see his best friend checking out Fallon’s curvy sister. “Hey, you, you’re coming with us. They need to do this alone.”
Levi looked at Lucas and all Lucas did was shrugged his shoulders. “She’s probably right.”
“Don’t sign anything,” Levi said before giving Fallon a look.
“Oh get real Levi, like I would screw him over,” Fallon said with disgust in her voice.
Levi laughed. “This coming from someone that kept someone’s kid from him for seven years.”
Fallon’s face twisted with anger and maybe guilt as she looked over to see Aiden running towards them. When Aiden reached them, he grinned up at Lucas before looking over at Fallon.
“Ready to go, bud?” Fallon asked, moving her hands through his hair. Aiden nodded his head quickly.
“Yes ma’am. Will you be here when I get back Lucas?” Aiden asked, looking back at Lucas as he took Audrey’s hand in his.
“I don’t know, we’ll see okay?” Lucas said, his heart beating so hard that he was sure it going to come out of his chest.
Lucas smiled, he couldn’t help himself. He found another person that made his heart race. That must mean something because there was only one other person that could, and that was Fallon.
