all the parties, and even have VIP seating to go with their own level of seating. Fallon has made a name for herself.”
“Is she married?”
Levi rolled his eyes. “Not that I read. Everything says she single.”
Lucas bit his lip. “I won’t know until I talk to her, or see her hand. She’s very secretive about her personal life. Remember how she wouldn’t even hold my hand in public.”
“Yeah, weirdo. More of a reason to cut her loose.”
“Shut up, she wasn’t weird. She was just private. It was nice. Most girls want to flaunt me to everyone.”
“I guess,” Levi said as he took a piece of the chicken that was on Lucas’ plate. “She’s throwing a huge party for the anniversary of some old wine.”
“Get me tickets.”
“Apparently, your boss will give them to you tomorrow,” Levi said with a pointed look. “You have to impress Mrs. Adler, Lucas, she’s huge right now. People LOVE her.”
“You know I impress females easily.”
“Yeah normal ones. This chick is intense from what I hear. She makes her uncle look like a puppy.”
Okay, that was nerve-racking because Bryan Fisher was a beast from what Lucas had been told, but he had been told that Elli Adler was a sweetie pie. What the hell did Levi know?
“I don’t get it. She’s supposed to be real nice.”
“Oh she is, that is until you fuck with her team. She knows what she wants and she thinks she’s got it with you. Don’t let her down.”
“I won’t.”
“I know you won’t, but if you get caught up in the whole Fallon thing, you’ll start fucking up,” Levi added as he took another piece of chicken.
“I will not!” Lucas said, smacking his hand against the marble island. “I played great when I was with Fallon.”
“Yeah and then when you guys broke up, you went to shit.”
“Cause I was depressed,” Lucas said. “It was hard.”
“And what if that happens again?”
“I would never cheat on Fallon again if I ever got a second chance with her, and damn do you have any faith in me?”
Levi smiled. “You’re my best friend Lucas. I don’t want you to mess up anymore. You’ve done well for the past couple years. When Fallon left, shit was bad. I won’t stay this time.”
Lucas put his hand on Levi’s shoulder. “It won’t happen again.”
Levi nodded as Lucas’ phone started ringing. He pulled it out and saw his mom’s picture smiling up at him. “Hey Mom.”
“Hello sweetie, how are you?”
“Good, moved in, getting comfortable,” Lucas said as Levi left the room with a wave. Levi worried too much, but Lucas loved him like a brother and would always appreciate what he did for him. As Lucas sat listening to his mom talk about how great it was to have him so close, all he could think about was Fallon.
Lucas would never forget the morning after the first time they met. She was so beautiful, so sweet, so young. He knew after one night that she was the one for him.
Lucas came out the bathroom to see his night mate sitting up in the bed, her head laid on her bended knees with her arms around her legs. She looked worried, but still she was so beautiful. Her hair fell in a curtain around her back and arms, her tan brown skin was so soft-looking and he knew it was. It was magic when his skin touched hers, another reason he knew she was the one for him.
No woman ever made him break out in goose bumps, but Fallon did.
“ Why the long face?” he asked as he walked slowly across the room. Lucas crawled into the large bed with her, wrapping his arms around her so that she was basically in his lap. “You are thinking too hard.”
“ I feel like a slut. I never go home with a guy after one night.”
He smiled against her shoulder, kissing it as she settled in against him. It was so easy between them, like they were meant to be. It was weird. How did he know after just one look that she was the one for him? He felt like he could trust her with his life and she would never hurt him. “Don’t,
