Too bad he was g*y; they would have made a beautiful closet together.

“I swear, Ms. Audrey, I don’t know where you get these clothes, but damn you look good!”

Audrey giggled as she rolled her eyes. She knew for a fact that Rob was not interested in anything but her outfit and she was glad he liked it, even if he was g*y. It meant her outfit stood out and that was what she wanted. The tight white jeans with a neon blue lace tank and black leather jacket was an eye catcher, but really what stood out were the black platform peep toe pumps. Jimmy Choo knew how to make sexy shoes, and Audrey loved to buy them.

“I could say the same about you, and thank you,” she cooed as she twisted her hips back and forth shyly, “Do you think my boyfriend will like it?”

Rob arched his brow, a smile tugging on his lips. “Mmmm…a boyfriend you say? Is he gorgeous?”

“Oh, of course,” Audrey cooed back while he nodded.

“Picture?”

“You know it,” she giggled coming over to him and pulling out her phone. Her wallpaper was a picture of them. Tate was looking at the camera, his blue eyes shining as Audrey kissed his jaw. It was one of her favorite pictures, and a copy was hanging in her living room by all the cupcake stands he had been getting her.

“For the love of God,” Rob muttered, “He is gorgeous. Oh, I just love gaps!”

“Told you! And yes, his gap is to die for, but he is also so freaking awesome,” Audrey giggled.

“Good,” Rob said wrapping an arm around her waist, “after all the pieces of shit you’ve been with, this is good news.”

She nodded, “I know. It’s new, and we’re in the ‘new relationship’ phase, but I feel good about him. Like in my heart, it’s different.”

“Good. I’m rooting for you, babe.”

Audrey shared a smiled with him and said, “Thanks Rob. Is my sissy in there?”

“She is! Go on in,” he said, hugging her tightly before she walked away. Opening the door, she found Fallon on the phone, banging her head against the desk.

“I understand that Lucas, but I don’t think he needs a tree house for Christmas, that is ridiculous and I refuse to spend $13,000 on it!” Audrey rolled her eyes as she sat down in front of Fallon’s desk. “Whatever, we’re not doing it! Lucas, oh my God. Okay, whatever you say, no, you’re gonna do what you want anyways. Yes, you are! Well that isn’t fair, oh you frustrate me!”

Fallon then looked up and shot Audrey a smile, “Listen, Audrey’s here, I gotta let you go. Yeah, yeah, yeah, love you more.” Hanging up the phone, she looked over at Audrey, “He is crazy.”

“Do I even want to know?”

“He said that he wants to get Aiden a tree house, but the one he wants is $13,000 bucks! I’m like, hell no, that’s too much for an eight year old. He disagrees and says that it’s either the tree house or a baby brother.”

“Well, babe, he is a ‘go big or go home’ kind of guy. You knew that when you married him in that big extravagant wedding of yours.”

“You’re not helping here.”

Audrey giggled. “Well then get pregnant,” Audrey suggested, “I would love to have new nephew or niece.”

Fallon narrowed her eyes, “Still not helping because I don’t want a baby right now, A. I have so much going on, it would be rough on me.”

Audrey nodded, “I guess you’re gonna have to do the tree house then.”

“Guess so,” Fallon said with a shake of her head, “but I’m pretty sure it doesn’t matter either way. Lucas is trying to figure out ways to impregnate me.”

Giggling, Audrey asked, “Why you think that?”

“He hides my birth control, and I’m going to spare you the details but he has been holding my legs up over my head, hoping his ‘boys’ will make the trip. He’s insane.”

Audrey couldn’t breathe she was laughing so hard. Her brother-in-law was a nut. “What do you do?”

“I scream at him, but that just provokes him more! Damn, crazy fool!”

Audrey almost fell out the chair giggling, “That is so funny.”

“It is not,” Fallon said, shaking her head, “Anyways, you got those mock ups?”

Audrey tried to control her laughter as she handed Fallon the paper work which officially started the meeting. Rocky Top Wines was expanding into four more states and Fallon needed to know all the customer inputs and stuff like that. Audrey found it boring as all get out and hated talking about it all. She’d much rather be asleep or hearing about Lucas’ mission of impregnating Fallon or making cupcakes. She had made some amazing, Butterbeer Cupcakes for Tate for that night. They had watched the first three Harry Potter movies when he was home and he said he wanted to try Butterbeer, so Audrey decided the best way to do that was in a cupcake form. He would love them, she knew he would.

Fallon glanced up from a list of companies wanting to buy from Rocky Top and narrowed her eyes.

“Am I boring you?”

Audrey shrugged her shoulders, “Kinda, I have things on my mind, and I’m ready to go.”

“Wow, thanks. So spending time with me is that horrible?”

“You know darn well it isn’t you, it’s the fact that I hate this.”

Fallon narrowed her eyes, “Hate what?”

“This company crap, it’s boring.”
