Lucas glared over at Levi before smiling down at Aiden. “That’s not a bad thing, bud.”
“I guess not since we got something for everyone, not just you and me,” Aiden said with a grin.
“Smart kid,” Lucas stated as he threw the millions of bags in the back of the truck. After they all were in the car and buckled up, Lucas pulled off and headed towards his house to drop Levi off. They rode listening to one of Aiden’s CDs when Levi let out a long sigh and reached for the CD player, ejecting the CD that played.
“Hey!” Aiden complained from the back.
“Sorry kid, I can’t listen to that crap,” Levi said as he put in one of Lucas’ mix CDs and turned it up.
Lucas looked over at Levi. “Fallon doesn’t want him listen to this, put something else on.”
“The kid has no clue what they are saying. If they say something bad, I’ll turn it off, but I can’t do Nickelodeon all day.”
Neither could Lucas, but he had been dealing with it because of Fallon. Levi was right though, Aiden had no clue what these guys were saying.
Aiden would be okay.
At least Lucas hoped so.
“Hey Mom is home!” Aiden gushed when Lucas pulled in behind her car. “She was supposed to be late, maybe there’s food!”
Aiden was out the car before Lucas was, bouncing as he waited. Lucas laughed as he followed behind his bouncing kid to the trunk to grab the bags. Levi had taken the iPads home with him to set them up, so all they had to grab was all the clothes bags and the Tiffany’s bag that held gifts for Audrey and Fallon.
“Can I stay the night at your house?” Aiden asked as they walked side by side up the walkway.
“Not tonight, bud, they are still fixing my floors. I’ll come first thing in the morning to get you, and we’ll go back.”
Aiden didn’t say anything until they reached the door. “Can you stay here?”
“Uh, um, I don’t think so buddy. Your mom probably won’t like that.”
“Sure she will, I’ll ask her. We’ll give her the gift first, butter her up.”
Lucas had to smile at that. Every day that passed, Lucas became more and more confident that Aiden was his. The kid was just like him. Everything Lucas did, Aiden did, and Lucas had never been so proud of anyone in his life the way he was of Aiden.
He loved Aiden.
Aiden threw the door open and yelled for Fallon as he threw the bags he held on the couch. Fallon came down the stairs in a pair of shorts and a large tee, her wet hair was up and she wore no makeup.
Jeez, she was a wet dream waiting to happen.
“Y’all are late, I was starting to worry,” she said as she hugged Aiden close to her. “I missed you.”
“Missed you too, Mommy!” Aiden gushed as he kissed her cheek. Lucas admired the pair as they greeted each other, and when Fallon looked up at him, he gave her a small smile. They hadn’t talked since he left the day before and even though he knew he should be mad at her and hate how immature she was acting, he couldn’t. She had her reasons and all he could do was hope that one day she would get over them all.
“We got you presents Mom, is AA here? We got her one too,” Aiden gushed as looked back at Lucas, his hand held out to him.
“What? No AA, isn’t here, she left a little while ago.”
“Oh,” Aiden said as Lucas handed her the little blue bag that held Fallon’s present. “This is for you, from us. I helped pick it out, and Lucas bought it, he bought a lot of things. Like the whole mall!”
Lucas chuckled from behind Aiden as Fallon held the little bag in her hand, staring at it as if it was a bomb. “You can open it, Fallon.”
**********************************
Fallon had had the worst day ever.
She couldn’t sleep for nothing the night before, the meetings she had that day were tiring and she was just plain worn out. She had thought the whole Lucas thing to death for the past two nights, and even with sleeping beside her perfect little guy, she still felt restless. She was already confused about what she was gonna do when it came to Lucas, and now he was getting her gifts?
She eyed the little blue bag that had Tiffany & Co. writing on the bag in black. “What is it?”
“A gift!” Aiden gushed as he bounced beside her.
She glanced over at Lucas and he was giving her that sexy damn smirk of his. As Fallon’s girlie parts screamed something fierce, she opened the bag, and pulled out the little black box, dropping the bag. She loved Tiffany & Co. and was excited to see what it was, she just hated that Lucas was the one to buy her something from Tiffany’s.
How was she supposed to be mad at a guy that buys her Tiffany’s?
When she pulled back the top of the box and saw the two little diamond encrusted hearts, her heartbeat raced. They were stunning. Her hand came over her mouth as she glanced down at the beautiful earrings. “Oh my, thank you,” she gushed before looking down at Aiden.
“You like ‘em?”
“Yes! They are beautiful,” she said as she wrapped an arm around him, kissing him sweetly against his cheek.
“Cool!” Aiden gushed as she moved to Lucas and wrapped an arm around him awkwardly to hug him. When she glanced up at him, he was smiling down at her.
“Thank you.”
Lucas put his other arm around her, so she stood in front of him, close to his chest. He took the box from her fingers, and opened it before taking the earrings out. His fingers brushed her cheek as he put one of the earrings in her ear, “Aiden’s heart,” he whispered, causing her to look up at him. He smiled as he moved to the other ear, putting it in as he whispered, “My heart.”
“I guess not since we got something for everyone, not just you and me,” Aiden said with a grin.
