“Hello. I’m Dane.”
Cassandra smiles at the man’s forwardness,
“Thank you. I’ll take a Long Island Ice Tea. What’s your position?” Dane chuckles at her,
“Whiskey Neat, only the very best.” Dane summons a bartender over giving him their orders,
“So what brings you here?” Cassandra asks curiously,
“I love the whiskey and the mermaids. Tequila Sunrise is really my favorite drink.” Dane responds with a chuckles,
“Hope you don’t mind Cassandra, but I’m waiting for my best friend.”
Cassandra looks at him with her cocking her head side ways,
“Really? Who would that be?” Before answering Dane looks beyond her, seeing a familiar face.
“Hey Dane, what’s up? Who have we here? Cassandra turns around surprised to see Chad Vests her brother,
“Hey Brother, what brings you here?” Chad laughs as he summons the bartender,
“To be here to meet with my best friend, drinks and the mermaids. What about you?” Cassandra laughs with a smirk,
“You guys, what is it with mermaids?”
“They’re pretty and very entertaining!” The three of them laugh, while drinking and eating the food that Chad had pre ordered.
“I had to get air and drinks in order to relax.” Chad looks over at Cassandra with concern,
“How are things going with Lane? Any more dates?” Cassandra takes a drink while Dane looks at Chad, then towards to Cassandra.
“Who are you dating, Cassandra?” Dane inquires,
“Gov Lane Rupas. His wife was to be dead, but her death was faked.” The guys look at each other,
“Where does that leave you?”
Cassandra gives Chad a small smile,
“The Board of Directors filed a legal marriage separation. So Lane is dating me and Grace for thirty days. Then the Board is going to push for a divorce.” Dane chuckles,
“Sounds simple and easy. So why are your panties in a wad? Consider it thirty days of him spending time saying good bye to Grace.” Cassandra frowns at Dane,
“It isn’t. She’s pregnant. And the baby’s Lane’s. They went for the second DNA test yesterday. We both get two dates a week.” Chad squeezes Cassandra’s shoulder,
“When was your last date?” Cassandra sneers at him,
“Today. Lunch was wonderful. But it turned out being a double date with his best friend Dean and his date Sandra. She was one of Lane’s suitors. I hated it. I only want to be alone with him. If I have a chance to show what kind of love to him. He’ll quickly forget about her.” Chad gives Cassandra her a side hug,
“It’ll work out. Even if they co-parent regarding the baby. Just keep Grace in her place by showing her that Lane is your man.” Cassandra gets an evil smirk on her face,
“I love that! I would really love to put that woman in her place, so I can do that!” Cassandra exclaims excitedly, the two men exchanged looks before Dane speaks up,
