“Tri, you okay?” Kassie asked.
“Yeah. Oh, yeah, fine.” Trina kept her hand on her stomach, but forced a smile. “I just wanted to ask you how it felt to lock down the team’s most eligible bachelor?”
“Excuse me?”
“Kass, you’ve been the talk of the party all night. No one ever thought there’d be a girl out there that could get the Rock-Star to finally settle down. Then you came along. I don’t know how you did it, but kudos, girl! You’ve got that boy under your spell.”
Kassie ruffled her brow. “I hope that’s a good thing?”
“Absolutely! Just look at him.” Trina pointed to Luc, who was now a few feet away, grabbing them bottled water. “He radiates happiness. He needed someone like you. Sam says all he ever talks about is you. Kass, he is really head over heels, and it’s so sweet!” Trina practically squealed. Then she sucked in a hard gasp of air and grabbed at her belly again.
“Tri, are you sure you’re okay? Do you need me to find Sam?” Kassie was concerned by how Trina was acting.
“No.” Trina waved Kassie off. “I’m fine. It’s just gas, or maybe too many chips and dip. But I do have to run to the bathroom again, excuse me. I swear these days my bladder is the size of a pea. Thank goodness this costume is simple and easy to get off!”
Kassie thought about what Trina had said. That was why there had been so many photos taken of her and Luc together. “Wait! Trina, does that mean—” But Trina was already halfway to the bathroom.
“Mean what?” Luc looped his arm around her back and pulled her close. He held his phone out in front of him and snapped a selfie. “Say cheese!”
“Apparently, there have been lots of photos of us taken tonight. Besides you and your selfies,” Kassie said, as Luc messed with his phone.
“Yeah, I noticed. Hold that thought, and say Supergirl.” Luc snapped another selfie, only this time he planted a kiss on her cheek in the photo. He fiddled with his phone for a second before continuing his thought. “They always take a lot of photos at the Halloween party. It’s kind of a big deal.”
Dom came up beside them. “Talking about all the pictures?” He was decked out as one of the Suicide Squad characters, while Hailee was the girl with the crazy makeup and funky hair.
Luc flexed his Superman muscles that were actually his muscles, accented with only a little padding. It was kind of sexy that he didn’t need all the padding that came with the costume. “Yeah. Kass said there have been lots of pictures taken. I was telling her they do that all the time. We’re just used to it, and it’s kind of fun now.”
“Yeah, I think it’s just the normal team Halloween party pictures for the internet. The ones that go on the team page, and the PR stuff. Mel probably knows,” Dom added.
“The internet?” Oh crap, she hadn’t considered that. Of course they were going on the internet.
“You shy, sweets?” Luc asked her. “Don’t need to be. I love showing you off in that Supergirl costume.” His words were dripping with lust. She was surprised he wasn’t drooling. Then Luc shoved his phone in Dom’s direction. “Zanetti, take our picture. Hailee, jump in here, too.”
“Yeah, we’ll be on the team’s web pages,” Hailee agreed. “They highlight the players’ costumes every year. But this year the team’s most sought-after bachelor has a beautiful lady on his arm. I’m sure the fangirls will eat that up. Sorry Kass, but your name is going to be everywhere by the end of the night,” she said, choosing her words carefully. “It’s really not that bad. You’re a sweet girl, and you’re good for Luc.”
“Wait, so you’re serious? I’m really going to be on the team’s web pages?” Kassie questioned, while trying to keep her cool.
“Honey, you’re going to be on the WAGS pages, too,” Paige added. “And you will be retweeted and shared and whatever else they do online. We all will. Every single girl is going to want to see who finally tied down Luc Marcella.”
“The Puck-Star,” Luc added.
Kassie shook her head at Luc’s comment, but her bigger concern was the social media. “Yeah, I really doubt that, Paige. No one even knows who I am. And I doubt they even care. I’m just the chick in the Supergirl costume.” This was all too much. She wasn’t a WAG; she was just dating Luc. But that did make her a WAG, didn’t it?
“They do now.” Paige pointed at the many people taking pictures. “Most of those are going to end up on the internet sometime tonight or tomorrow.”
“I need a drink.” Kassie turned to look for the bar, but Luc grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into a warm, loving hug. It relaxed her enough for the moment.
“Hey, have you seen my wife? I think I lost her in the crowd somewhere,” Sam asked, scratching under his chef hat.
“Nice apron, surfer dude,” Luc commented. “Does it come with a surfboard?”
Why wasn’t Luc worried like she was, about all the attention she was going to get tonight? Maybe because there’s nothing to be worried about. She tried to think back to when Ali started to date Kaden, when the paparazzi did the same thing, taking candid pics of them and putting them online. This time it was team members posting them. But it was really no different.
“Not now, Rock-Star.” Sam cocked his head, changing his mind. “Okay, maybe for a second. No surfboard, but nice tights, boy wonder.”
“Hey, as long as my Supergirl likes them, that’s all that matters.”
“Oh, she likes them.” Trina appeared behind Sam.
