Trying to Score
Page 62

It was so frustrating!
Fallon felt like she was gonna cry, so she quickly passed by all of them, going down the bleachers to meet up with Aiden by the dugout. With every step she felt the tears threatening to fall, but she’d be damned if she let them fall. Yeah, it was her fault that Lucas hadn’t been in Aiden’s life, but what about what he did to her. Sure, she should have had the lady balls to tell him about his child, but how was she supposed to when she couldn’t even talk to him! He broke her heart! And look, everyone is so forgiving, so nice to the man that ripped her heart out of her chest and threw it against a wall.
Whatever.
Fallon shook her head as she reached the other parents that were fussing over their little ones. Aiden stood with a Capri sun and a pack of apples in his hands with all his equipment around his feet.
“You did good, baby,” Fallon gushed as she wrapped him up in her arms. He giggled as she kissed his cheeks and neck. He was sweaty, but she didn’t mind one bit.
“I sucked Mom,” he groaned before he took a sip of his drink. “Is Lucas still here?”
“Yes, he’s with AA and your grandparents,” Fallon answered, wishing that Lucas wasn’t. Why did they already have a bond? It drove Fallon crazy with jealously which was downright disgusting on her part.
“Cool, oh no,” Aiden was looking past her, and when she turned she saw Chase coming over to them. Chase wasn’t really her type, but he was a nice guy. He was extremely tall, six-foot-something, skinny as all hell with a very narrow face. The worst part was the large blonde fro. It scared Fallon, but he seemed to like it. He wore his Cubs shirt with a pair of jeans that did nothing for his ass. Yeah, she had been checking him out during the game, trying to make herself like him in the hopes that she would stop wanting Lucas.
It didn’t work.
“Be nice, Aiden James,” Fallon warned as Chase put a grin on his face and came right over to them.
“Hey Fallon, Aiden did great huh?” Chase asked in a nasally voice.
“Sure did!” Fallon said brightly. Maybe a little too brightly because Aiden rolled his eyes.
“I thought so, too,” Chase said with a grin. “So you’re looking beautiful as ever.”
Fallon smiled. “Thank you Chase, that’s so nice of you.”
“I only speak the truth,” he said and Aiden rolled his eyes again this time while letting out a bored sigh. All of a sudden, his face turn bright and Fallon knew that Lucas was coming over to them.
“Lucas!” Aiden gushed as he ran to him, a bright smile on his face.
“Hey, buddy,” Lucas said as he flipped his hat up with his finger.
“So, Fallon,” Chase said, bringing her attention away from Lucas and Aiden.
“Yeah?” Fallon asked as Lucas came over to them with Aiden’s hand in his.
“We’re still on for tomorrow right?”
Oh shit! Fallon had totally forgotten about dinner with Chase tomorrow.
“Yeah, of course we are,” Fallon said with a grin. She felt Lucas eyeing her but she stood confidently, trying to show that his gaze didn’t affect her at all. She hoped it worked.
“Great,” Chase said letting out a long breath, “I made reservations at the Wildhorse since you like to dance”
“Aw, great,” Fallon lied. Who the hell takes someone to a dance club on a first date?
“I gotta go, so I’ll pick you up from your office tomorrow. Five, right?”
“Right,” Fallon said as he started to walk backwards. As she waved bye, she felt someone’s hot breath on her neck. When she turned, Lucas grinned down at her.
“Going out with Coach tomorrow?”
Fallon rolled her eyes before she turned to pick up Aiden’s things from the ground. “None of your business, Lucas,” she said as she stood up.
She glanced up at him and he had a dazed look on his face. “I think you forgot something on the ground,” he said, pointing to the spot where she just picked up Aiden’s things.
Fallon turned looking down at the ground and nothing was in the grass. “I did not,” she said as she turned to look back at him.
He had a devilish smile on his face as he shrugged his shoulders. “I thought you did.”
Fallon eyes narrowed as she passed by him, smacking him in the chest as she did. His laughter ran down her spine as she made her way to her son and family. Lucas had been checking out her ass.
Before when they were together and she was cleaning the house, if she bent down in front of him, he always said she missed something just so she would bend over again. Fallon tried to be mad at him for his pigness but all it did was turn her on. Knowing that he still thought her ass was hot had her hot.
Which was bad, so freaking bad!
“Ready to go, bud?” Fallon asked as she put Aiden’s things in her bag.
“Lucas was gonna take me for ice cream,” Aiden said from on top of William’s shoulders.
“Okay. Make sure you bring him home early, he’s had a full day,” she said without turning to look at Lucas.
“You don’t want to go?” Lucas asked. “Everyone is.”
Of course, they were a big ole happy family. Well she’d be damned if she was gonna go have ice cream with one man that was disgusted in her and one that cheated on her.
Fuck that.
“No I gotta get home, have fun,” she said before throwing Aiden’s bag on her arm. She leaned up to kiss Aiden and he met her half way, giving her a sticky kiss. “Bye,” she said with nothing more than a wave as she headed towards the car. Fallon was almost to the car when she heard someone running behind her. She looked over her shoulder to see Lucas jogging towards her.
