What happened in Vegas: Didn't Stay In Vegas! by R. Lorelei Read Free Book Online

there was a tap on the door. The tap
wasn ’ t your typical tap, he tapped out a rhythm of an
entire song until you answered the door or the melody finished
whichever came first.
    Nick breezed
into the room like he owned the place. He had this unexplainable
energy about him, everything just seemed more alive when he got
there. Aria asked Nick what he wanted to drink and he chose wine
too. He squeezed between us on the couch rather than choosing a
seat by himself, and looking to the left and right he said, “ Girls. ”
    He turned to
me, “ Kill anyone at work yet? ” He was such a prick
at times!
    I
didn ’ t have much of a comeback for him. I think the wine
was slowing down my thought processes, “ Bradley Hart is
too good a teacher to let that happen. ”
    “The THROB is
teaching you? How did you swing that? ” Aria just sat back
on the couch and listened to us go on, it had to be boring for
her.
    “THROB? ”
    “You know, as
in heart throb. Every female cardiac nurse at the hospital gushes
how much of a heart throb he is. Whenever the nursing station is
busy, they give up their computers, their chairs, their pens, even
their stethoscopes for him, anything he wants, just to get him to
notice them. He ’ s totally not into
them. He hasn ’ t dated anyone since
his divorce. It ’ s sickening. Frankly,
I think he ’ s overrated. ”
    “You ’ re jealous is more
like it. ”
    “Whatever. I
have it going on too, you know, ” he started running
his fingers through his short hair in an arrogant
manner.
    “You do, do
you? Who ’ s got a big head now? ”
    He looks down
at his groin and then smirks up at Aria, “ Don ’ t listen to her, the
only big head I have is hidden in my pants. ” Jokingly, he
whispers to her, “ I ’ ll show you
later, ” just loud enough for me to hear.
    “Throb might be
interested in somebody. ” I smirked at
Nick.
    “You? ” He said sarcastically, pointing at me
laughing, he said, “ Unlikely! Have you
seen his ex-wife? She is a breathtaking bombshell! No offense but
you can't hold a candle to her. ”
    I felt
defensive, “ He held my hand in
the parking lot at the hospital today, until we bumped into his
brother. ”
    “You bumped
into Chase? CEO Chase? ”
    “The one and
only. ”
    “What did Throb
do with your hand? ”
    “He dropped it
like it was made of acid, ” I
grumbled.
    “Didn ’ t want Chase the big
CEO to see obviously. ”
    “I
guess. ”
    Aria found a
second to get a word in, “ Chase has a
brother? ”
    Nick looked at
her, “ Twin. ”
    Aria
smiled, “ Really? ”
    Nick rolled his
eyes, “ Oh God, not you too? ”
    Aria cast her
gaze down and shook her head, “ No,
no. ”
    Nick focused
back on me and said, “ So then what
happened? ”
    I took another
sip of my wine, my glass was only half full, “ Chase
wanted to have a word with me so Bradley left.
    Nick looked at
me perplexed, “ Why would Chase want
to talk to you? No offense! ”
    “None taken
dickwad, he ’ s my landlord,
remember? ”
    Nick
flushed, “ Oh yes, so what did he say? ”
    I
shrugged, “ He just wanted to know if I still wanted out of
my lease. I told him definitely not. That was ages ago and
I ’ m happy now. ” I looked at Aria,
and finished what I had to say, “ When I went to go
open my car door, he accidentally rubbed up against my
ass. ”
    Nick breaks
in, “ No guy does that by accident, and it was accidentally
on purpose. ”
    I turned back
to Nick, “ That ’ s what I was going to
ask your opinion about, do you think he was trying to make a pass
at me? ”
    Aria took
center stage, “ I
don ’ t know what Nick thinks, but I definitely
do. ”
    Nick nodded in
agreement before Aria continued, “ What are you going to
do now, you have two gorgeous men after you? ”
    Nick took a
deep breath and slipped in, “ Matter of
opinion. ”
    My eyes opened
more, “ I don ’ t know, I guess
nothing. I don ’ t like Chase. He has
too many aces in his hand, CEO,
