“Hey Rock-Star, maybe you should talk to Mel about your girl situation.” Sam nodded towards Melanie.
“You got a girl situation, Marcella?” Kaden asked with a grin.
Well shit. This isn’t going to go well at all. “O’Conner, you wouldn’t be interested. You’ve got the old ball and chain now. You can’t possibly remember what it’s like to have all the honeys after you. And not for your on-ice skill.” Luc laid it on extra thick in the hope that Kaden would back off.
“Oh, I remember. Don’t worry,” Kaden responded, sitting back with a big smile on his face.
“O’Conner, is there something I need to tell Ali?” Paige commented with sass from the back of the plane.
Kaden sat back and slid on his headphones, directing his attention to his iPad as he calmly said, “Nope. Not a thing, Paige.”
The plane took off, and everyone was seated and quiet until the captain turned off the seatbelt sign.
Melanie sat in the empty seat in front of Luc and turned around to face him. “So, tell me about your girl problem.”
“Girl problem? Please. I don’t have girl problems.” Luc didn’t want to do this now, with Kaden sitting right across the plane from him.
“Look at me, Luc. I know when someone has relationship problems. And you, my friend, have problems. So, talk.” Melanie stared at him and waited patiently.
Sam started, with a smirk. “So, there’s this girl…”
“Dude, shut up.” He didn’t want to do this at all, but specifically not with Kaden here.
“I’m waiting.” Melanie pulled out a nail file from her purse and started to file her nails. “And I have nowhere to be, not for about the next hour. So, it’s best to spill it, Marcella.”
“Fine.” Luc sighed. He knew Mel wouldn’t let this go. “Yeah, there’s a girl.”
“Isn’t there always?” Kaden interjected.
“Except there’s usually more than just one,” Patrick added.
“Guys, let Luc talk,” Melanie said with a smile. “Go on, Marcella. So, there’s a girl…”
“We’ve been seeing a lot of each other.” Some catcalls came from the back of the plane. “Shut up, morons. Don’t be assholes. They’re like a bunch of fucking eight graders.”
“So, you’re dating this girl?” Melanie prodded.
“Um, kind of. It’s nothing serious.” Luc shrugged her off.
“But you want it to be?” Melanie suggested.
“Yeah, I guess. Doesn’t everybody want that?” Luc said, his voice lower than before.
“Absolutely. It’s no fun to always be by yourself.”
“Yeah. We have fun together, no matter what we do. It’s just… it’s easy.” That was something it had never been before. Fangirls were clingy and needy or just around for a notch on their lipstick case. It had never been easy like it was with Kassie.
Mel tilted her head with a look of understanding. “Luc.” She moved in closer and her voice was low. “It’s supposed to be easy. You really like this girl?”
Luc nodded.
“Luc, all I can tell you is, when you meet that someone special, she’ll change your life and everything you know will be turned upside down. And you’ll love every minute of it. No one will have to tell you she’s the one for you; you’ll just know.”
“Is that what this is, Rock-Star?” Sam asked.
Luc knew what he was asking, since he knew who this mystery woman was. All he could do was nod. He couldn’t give away his secret yet.
“Wow. Luc has eyes for one special lady! Alert the presses!” Patrick commented.
