Trying to Score Page 155

“You look stunning Audrey,” Fallon gushed.

Audrey smiled as she twisted her hips, causing the dress to swoosh back and forth. “Lucas got me this dress.”

“It’s fantastic.”

Audrey blushed as a beautiful bright grin came over her face, “Thanks. Why aren’t you dressed though? Susie’s here.”

“Crap! I can’t decide on what I want to wear,” Fallon said. She pointed down at her dresses before looking back at Audrey. “I don’t know if I want to be sexy, sweet or professional.”

Audrey laughed while she moved towards the bed, looking down at the dresses. She pointed to the backless black one and shook her head. “Mom and Dad are going to be there, so that one is out.”

Fallon nodded her head as she went on to the next one. “This one is nice, but I don’t like that bow. It’s between this grey one and that grey and black one. Try them on real quick.”

Fallon nodded again, picking up the first dress and throwing it on. It was black and went to her knees. There was lace that went around her neck as a halter top, showing a lot of her back.

“What shoes?” Audrey asked with her index finger on her chin.

“These black ones,” Fallon said sliding her feel into her black suede heels that had a big black bow on the side.

“Hmm, okay next dress.”

Fallon undressed quickly and threw on the next dress. It was a light grey with a fitted skirt that went down to below her knees. It cut down low and the sleeves were made of grey lace that was designed in pretty flowers. Fallon slid her feet into her grey lace heels and when she looked up, Audrey was grinning at her.

“That’s it.”

Fallon clapped her hands together and ran to the bathroom to fix her makeup so that it matched her dress. She noticed Audrey had followed her and was leaning against the doorway as she applied her eye shadow.

“Everything okay?” Fallon found herself asking.

“Yeah.”

“How’s things with…that guy you’re seeing?”

Audrey rolled her eyes. “Everything’s fine with us.”

“Okay,” Fallon said, even though she knew Audrey was lying. Audrey shrugged her shoulders and turned to leave the room without another word. Fallon shook her head in disgust. She wanted to shake Audrey to death but knew it would do no good. The girl was in love.

After finishing the rest of her makeup, she made sure her hair was in perfect curls before leaving the bathroom and heading downstairs. Fallon reached the bottom step just as Aiden took off towards the door and threw it open. Audrey stood up from the couch, and so did Susie as Lucas came in, looking devilishly sexy. He wore an expensive, sleek-looking blue suit with a silver tie. His hair was combed over to the side, and, thankfully, he hadn’t shaved. A grin stayed on his face when he looked over at Audrey before starting towards her. Fallon watched as he reached for Audrey’s hands and squeezed them tightly before placing a kiss on her cheek.

“Well I must say Audrey, you look gorgeous,” he said with a charming smile on his face.

Audrey’s cheeks dusted a beautiful deep red before she pulled her hands from his while trying not to smile. “Whatever.”

Lucas laughed. “Come on Audrey, you still can’t be mad at me.” Audrey shrugged her shoulders. “You are too pretty to still be mad at me,” he finished and that did it. She grinned over at him and smacked him in the arm before turning to go to the kitchen.

“Dad, this is Mrs. Susie, my babysitter!” Aiden said from beside Susie. Susie smiled up at Lucas and Fallon snickered at the look of awe on Susie’s face. She had been watching Aiden since he was a baby. Whenever Audrey couldn’t keep Aiden, Susie would. She was a sweet lady in her late thirties with an infectious laugh. She was so funny and Aiden just adored her.

Lucas turned the charm way up as he shook Susie’s hand. “Nice to meet you, I’m Lucas Brooks.”

Susie giggled as her face turned bright red. Fallon couldn’t blame her. Fallon was blushing and Lucas wasn’t even turning the charm on her. “Nice to meet you too,” was all Susie got out before she started giggling like a school girl.

Lucas smiled as he said, “So are you an all-night babysitter?”

“Lucas!” Fallon yelled. Lucas turned quickly and when their eyes met, Fallon was about to hire Susie for all night. Lucas’ eyes went dark as he slowly came towards her with a sexy grin on his mouth. Fallon slowly blinked once, bringing her bottom lip in between her teeth as he closed the distance between them and met her lips with his. Her hand came up to his cheek and welcomed the rough feeling from the hair along his jaw against her palm. She craved it, missed it even.

“They do this all the time.”

Fallon parted from Lucas with a bashful grin on her face before looking over at Aiden. “Hush, Aiden.” Aiden giggled as she looked up into Lucas’ eyes. Yeah, it was about time they had some alone time.

“Audrey?” she asked.

“I’m coming home,” Audrey said, passing by them. Fallon smiled widely up at Lucas and he returned it.

“Good,” she said before running her finger down Lucas’ bottom lip. “Is it okay if I stay the night?”

Lucas didn’t need to say anything, his eyes said it all. He slowly nodded before bringing his lips close to hers. “I thought you’d never ask.”

Chapter 34

The first thing Fallon saw when she walked into the campaign party was the close up picture of her and Lucas. Along the bottom, in the signature orange, it read:
