Fallon hated that song.

It did nothing but make her think of Lucas and she hated when that happened. It was one of the main reasons she listened to such hard rap music, because they never rapped about the girl they lost. They were too hard for that, and when they had a girly moment, she just changed the song. Fallon looked over at Chase and tried to focus on what he was saying but she couldn’t. He did not interest her at all.

Fallon brought her beer to her lips as she looked towards the door, wondering how fast she could get there before Chase could catch her. But when the doors open and Lucas came through with a blonde, Fallon choked on her beer.

“Are you okay?” Chase asked.

“Oh, God,” she gasped. She tried to catch her breath while watching Lucas hold the blonde close to him. “Yeah I’m fine,” she said once she caught her breath.

Lucas and his date stood at the hostess podium hand in hand, and Fallon thought she was gonna scream. He, of course, came dressed to impress in his tailored black suit. The light gray of his tie made him look delectable. His hair was messy and God help her, he still hadn’t shaved! Lucas’ beautiful date wore a gorgeous purple dress that hung off her shoulders. Her heels were high and made her legs look hot, while Fallon was sure her legs look like tree trunks and her dress wasn’t that pretty. Hell, Fallon wasn’t even as pretty as the blonde!

Jealously ate at Fallon as she watched Lucas and his date follow behind the hostess to a table that was only feet away from Fallon and Chase. She then watched as he pulled the blonde’s chair out before sitting across from her. They opened their menus, laughing and talking about God knows what as Fallon wanted nothing more than to go over there and beat the crap out of Lucas. How dare he!? She knew he was there to make her jealous and what bothered her most was that he succeeded!

Why did she let him do this to her?

Her hands shook as she watched him laugh and joke with the gorgeous blonde. Poor Chase, she had no clue what he was saying and he didn’t seem to care, because he kept talking as she watched Lucas and the blonde. A waitress came over to get their orders and Lucas looked down at menu. She watched as his eyebrows drew together as the blonde ordered. He must have said he wanted the same thing she got because the girl laughed and he shrugged his shoulders. She must have ordered a salad.

Fallon hated that Lucas was still struggling with the dyslexia and wished that he would get help but she knew he wouldn’t. Fallon felt like a stalker as she watched the two and felt horrible when Chase just kept talking. Didn’t the man ever shut up?

When Fallon’s and Chase’s food appeared, Fallon made herself stop watching Lucas and his date so that she could eat. She hadn’t eaten all day and was starving, but it didn’t seem to matter. Her eyes kept drifting towards Lucas’ table. As she stuffed a French fry in her mouth, the blonde got up and headed to the bathroom, leaving Lucas by himself. Lucas looked around and when his eyes met hers, his mouth pulled up at one side as he slowly nodded at her. Fallon’s blood boiled and before she knew it she was out of her seat and stomping her way towards him. She heard Chase say something but ignored him as she made her way to Lucas.

“I know what you’re doing, and it isn’t cute!” she accused with her finger pointed at him. The chairs were high, so he was the same height as she was as she stood beside him.

Lucas laughed as he brought his water to his lips. “I don’t know what you’re talking about?”

“Yes you do! Bringing a girl here when you knew I was gonna be here with Chase.”

“Oh Coach Dweeb is here?” Lucas said looking past her. “Wanna sit together?”

“Hell no! I want you to leave!” she screeched, making him laugh harder.

“I’m not going anywhere.”

Fallon’s face scrunched up before she stomped her foot and turned to head back to the table.

“It’s crazy that I still think you are hot even when you’re acting like a two-year-old,” he called out at her as she headed back to her table. She ignored him as she sat down, putting a forgiving smile on her face for Chase.

“Sorry, I saw someone I knew,” Fallon said. She picked up another fry and brought it her lips.

“It’s fine,” Chase said with a little bit of an attitude, not that she cared.

When an announcer came over the speakers introducing the act for the night, Fallon turned a little to look at the stage.

“The singer tonight is supposed to be pretty good,” Chase said.

Fallon nodded her head but then her eyes went wide. Lucas’ date strolled onto the stage with her guitar and two other guys beside her. As they all sat, Fallon looked over at Lucas to see him grinning at her. Fallon’s gazed locked with his as his date started singing the most beautiful song ever. When Lucas got up and started toward her, his eyes never leaving hers, her breathing picked up.

What was he doing?

“Hey there, Coach,”

Fallon looked up at Lucas with her eyes wide as Coach Dweeb looked over at him questioningly. Lucas wasn’t paying too much attention to the coach, he had eyes only for Fallon. Like always, she looked beautiful. She wore a tight cream colored dress that brought out the bronze color of her skin. The heels she wore had little naughty bows tying them together and Lucas wanted nothing more than to take them off of her.

With his teeth.

“Do I know you?” Coach Dweeb asked.

“Not really, but I’m a friend of Fallon’s and I want to dance with her. You don’t mind, do you?”
