It's been about an hour since Alastair left and I quickly grew bored. I mean who wouldn't?

"Hey, sexy thing! Where you at?" Levi's voice calls out, echoing throughout the area.

I shake my head to myself and go out to the staircase. "Sexy thing is lame Levi. You might want to find something less, well, lame."

He looks up at me and shrugs "I'm not going to lie. But for now, we are going to go get a pretzel and some true New York City pizza. Lets go!"

I feel a smile grow on my face, somehow he knew how to make me happy "Sure, why the frick not?"

Grabbing the spare keys from the table, we leave and go into the elevator.

"So how is Chloe?" I question him.

He shrugs "We broke up."

I suddenly feel uncomfortable. "Oh, well that sucks, what happened? I thought your three year was coming up?"

"I was distant and she wasn't the one. So she called it quits." he softly smiles. "But i know a girl who might be the one."

I raise an eyebrow, surprised, "Really? Well, goodluck."

He laughs, tilting his head back. "I'm gonna need it, believe me, she is a handful. Hey look there is a pretzel stand over there!"

I look to where he is pointing and indeed there is a pretzel stand waiting at the corner of the street. "Race you."

Dashing off i run threw the people, laughing like crazy. People stare, but i don't care, ignoring them all. I stop when I reach it only to see Levi already there with two pretzels in his hand.

My mouth falls opand as he hands me one. "How?"

He shrugs "I was a track runner. I'm fast, what can i say?"

"Sure." I roll my eyes and take a bite of the warm soft pretzel.

We walk around the streets for a bit, i easily fall into a daze until we walk down towards Alastair's building. I look at it and sigh. It was a beautiful skyscraper, it screamed wealth and had the 'Royce Industries' spelt out on it, in individal Silver letters.

"Maybe we should go see him? I bet he is hungry." Levi says from beside me.

"Sure. If you want to."

After thirty minutes we head up the elevator, chinese food in hand, to the top floor. As we enter, i hear Alastair shouting and a bang.

"Your refusing me because I'm not in a serious relationship! How biased is that!" he shouts angrily.

I hear mummering and Alastair curse.

"Thomas is two years older and is a bigger player then I. Do how does that work? I don't understand Mike? I was told that you were all in." he groans.

I look at Levi "Well shit. Guess its a good thing i wore makeup. "

I pull my hair out of its ponytail and fluff it out into it's loose curls.

"What are you doing?" Levi whispers in my ear.

I look at him and wink "Saving you brothers ass, again."

With that, I confidently walk into the room. Tapping on the door softly. All six men look up and Alastair raise's an eyebrow.

"Sorry for interupting. I was just bringing Alas some lunch, I wasn't told he was busy." I smile innocently.

A older man, with greying hair smiles "That's alright, and who are you?"

"I'm Alas's girlfriend. We are trying to test waters under the radar of media. You must know how hard that is." I pout and walk over to Alastair, sitting on his lap.

The men nod, clearly buying my lie.

"Well, Alastair, it seems as though our deal may just go ahead. We will contact you with a time for another meeting for tomorrow. Enjoy your lunch." The man winks.

I smile and peck a kiss on Alastairs lips. "I'll meet you in your office baby."

Getting up i swing my hips a bit, throwing a wink over my shoulder. Levi is standing hidden by the door with a shocked face.

"Shush you. Come on." I take his hand and drag him to Alastairs office.

"Okay, why did you just help my player of a brother?" Levi demands, worried.

I shrug "I felt nice and he seemed stressed. If i need to fake girlfriend for a few weeks to make a deal happen why not?"

The door opens and Alastair walks in. He stalks towards me and presses his lips to mine but quickly pulls away.

"Thank you. That was for practice too."

The relief in his voice is enough for me to know, I'd saved him. "Your welcome."

"Lunch anyone?" Levi asks, holding up the bags.

"Hell yes!" Alastair and I say in unison.

We look at each other and laugh before we dive for the food.
