Rocking His Fake World (Love You Forever #3) - Alexis Winter Page 0,59

are wide, confused but excited at the same time. “That’s cool as shit. So what are you going to do when she leaves?”

I shrug. “Nothing. When she leaves, we’re over. That was the arrangement. When we’re together, we’re together. When we’re not, we’re not. Her words, not mine,” I point out.

He takes another sip of his beer. “Damn, I’m jealous. She’s hot as hell. How is she in bed?”

I laugh. “Fuck off. I ain’t telling you that. But what about you? What have you been up to?”

He holds his arms out at his sides. “Just living life, man. I spent a few weeks in Florida and Hawaii . . . even went to Alaska. Alaska is beautiful, man. You have to see it for yourself.”

“How’s the business?” Chad runs his own marketing business. He works directly with state government officials to create ads that entice tourists.

“Good. I’m taking the week off now, but next week I’m going to the Bahamas. Beach life.” He smiles.

“Sounds good to me. A whole lot better than being stuck in this city.” Especially now that Luna won’t be here much longer.

“Come to work for me, man. I always need a lawyer with me, keeping me out of trouble.”

I laugh and shake my head. “I can be your lawyer from here. I don’t have to travel with you,” I point out.

“Yeah, but having a buddy with me sounds a whole lot better than doing it alone. You should see some of the hotties I come across on these beaches. There, they’re just the girl next door. But anywhere else in the world, they’d be fucking models.”

“Oh yeah?” I ask, because I have no idea what else to say. I’m not exactly in the market for a random hookup.

He nods. “Oh yeah. And all you gotta do is buy them a couple drinks, act like they’re the prettiest thing you’ve ever laid eyes on, and you’ve got them in the palm of your hand. How’d you land the rocker chick anyway?”

I shrug as a laugh slips out. “No idea, honestly. She invited me to her show. I went and we hung out afterward, then we just kind of agreed to hook up after a couple drinks. It started and we never stopped. However, we have been hiding it from the band and the media. Some of them have caught on to our scent though. I don’t know how we’re addressing it yet.”

“Well, when you get tired of her, send her my way, won’t ya?” He leans forward, flagging down a waitress.

“Yeah, don’t hold your breath,” I say, grabbing a menu just as the waitress walks over.

We both order a round of drinks and some dinner and the waitress leaves the table. Chad and I sit and catch up while drinking our beers. My phone chimes and I pull it out to see a message from Luna.

What are you doing? I’m home alone. Hint, hint.

I smile. I’m having dinner and drinks with a friend. Want to join? We’re at Melvin’s.

Sure. OMW.

I put my phone up and lean forward, resting my elbows on the table. “Luna is on her way, so keep yourself in check.”

His brows go up and his eyes widen. “No shit? She’s coming here? I get to meet her?”

I laugh. “Yeah, she’s coming here.”

We order another round of drinks and our food gets brought out just as Luna is walking in the door. Her presence is enough to make people stop and stare, but she acts like she doesn’t even notice it. I’m jealous of her in so many ways.

She finds us and drops down next to me. “Luna, this is my old buddy, Chad. Chad, this is Luna.”

They shake hands and Chad immediately starts asking her questions: What’s it like being in a band? Do you do a lot of blow? Are there always hot chicks around? When is the tour and can I come? A bunch of stupid shit that only he would ask.

Luna fends him off before looking at me like what did you get me into? I pull her closer to my side and she reaches over and steals a fry from my plate. I push it closer so she can easily take whatever she wants.

“So, Luna, what is it that you see in this stick-in-the-mud here?” He points at me.

She looks from him, to me, and back, then leans forward. “He’s really great in the sack. Plus his dick is huge,” she whispers, holding up her hands to show him how
