something to the house that she might regret. It had happened before when her mother bought carpet for the bathrooms in the small amount of time it took to go to the grocery store.
    “Yeah, fine. I guess I have to go to work, too, even though I’d rather not.”
    Smiling at Lukas’s griping, Cassandra pushed herself up to stretch her arms above her head with a groan.
    The walk to her suburban home was a long one since she didn’t have her bus pass, but Cassandra didn’t mind because it gave her time to think about what she wanted to do now. Sure, she was extremely tech savvy and smart, but in reality she’d rather not work. Procrastinating was her favorite game. Taking the small steps up to her front door, she swung open the barrier to the sound of her mother talking up a storm.
    “Casey! Is that you? Come in here!” Her mother had always been kind of hard, but she did raise two girls by herself, and Cassandra groaned softly at the call before shuffling in the opposite direction of the stairs. Around her there were pictures on the walls and all of the furniture was old, but well maintained, and she had a feeling that wouldn’t change because she’d become rich overnight. She wasn’t stingy by any means, but her mother was very set in her ways, and she had no reason not to be.
    “What is it, Mom?” Popping her head into the kitchen, Cassandra was a little surprised to find a familiar face sitting at the kitchen, his angular nose down a coffee cup.
    “Hey! You brought my stuff back?” Bouncing towards him, she smiled goofily and Lukas almost rolled his eyes, but his smile was there regardless. Cassandra was a force to be reckoned with, that was for sure. Her bouncy brown hair, her round face and her ample bosom that was hidden behind her shirt all pointed to an eternal optimistic. It’d been three days since they last saw each other, and he’d only discovered after she left that she forgot her leggings, her socks and her sunglasses. Really he didn’t mind because it gave him a reason to see her. They’d run into each other randomly twice now and he just about couldn’t take not knowing when it would happen again.
    “Yes I did.” It was a short answer, but Cassandra smiled wider anyway as she got a look at him in the cold light of day. His skin was tan, stretching tautly over his muscles under his button down while his brown hair was styled messily just like she’d seen that night at the bar.
    “Thanks for that. I’m sorry I left like that.”
    “It’s fine. I actually have to go to work so I’m glad I got to see you. Thank you for the coffee, ma’am.” Lukas pushed himself to his feet and Cassandra felt her mouth get a little dry at how much taller he was than her puny five foot four-inch frame. How could she have just left him? It was a crime! Ignoring the way her mother beamed, she moved out of the doorway only for him to grab her hand and pull her with him towards the front door. Of course, it wasn’t like she wanted to run out on him but Ryce calling her in the middle of the night couldn’t be ignored. The last thing she wanted was to be on her sister’s bad side.
    “I’ll pick you up at six, baby. Dress nice.” Grabbing her butt, Lukas smothered her squeak with his mouth and Cassandra felt a shudder slide down her spine. She’d never get tired of his kisses, and she felt a pang of disappointment when he pulled away just as quickly.
    “Okay…” Breathing out her agreement, Cassandra felt her cheeks fill with color when Lukas tweaked her nose before opening the front door. Today was just going by so fast she wasn’t sure she could keep up. First her mad dash to her workplace over an unexpected problem with her money, and now she had a date. That thought made her tense up and her eyes widened as she stared at the closed barrier.
    She’d never been on a date before!
    “Mom! Mom I have a problem!”
    Rubbing the back of his neck, Lukas rolled his shoulders with a soft groan as he pushed
