of yours is one fine piece of man candy. You let him know that Roberto is single and ready to mingle.”
    “If he starts looking for a fine piece of man candy I’ll let you know.” I roll my eyes on the inside.
    He grins. “So what’s good girl? I see you on Insta getting comments from all them sexy ass motherfuckas. Any of them batting for my team?”
    I should seek him on OZ for giggles, but I won’t.
    Roberto is such a cut up. He has been doing my hair for a few years now.  He and the girls are always teasing me about Kline. Shit, I feel like I can’t go anywhere without someone wanting me to hook them up with my brother in some shape or form.
    “Not that I know of but I’ll keep an eye out for you.” I wink as he takes the cape from around my neck and brushes my shoulders off.
    I leave the salon with new highlights in my hair and a new French manicure.  I still haven’t had a bite to eat no thanks to Kline hogging the bathroom earlier. 
    I would hate to eat something heavy before my audition. I decide to hit up Healthy Vines, my favorite. This place is always crowded, I can’t ever get a decent table, but the food is definitely worth it. Scanning the dining area for a table I spot Royce of all people. I hope he doesn’t see me. Maybe I’ll ask for my food to go instead. I’m not above eating in my car if it means avoiding a run in with him right now, when his words are still too fresh. It’s hard to tell him no.  
    I have got to be one of the unluckiest people in Vegas. “Brandi,” Royce calls my name, and waves me over to the table he is sharing with a few of his asshole buddies. What makes them assholes? When Royce and I broke-up they came into the gym and made asses of themselves. They treated me like a hooker—a piece of ass they could do whatever they wanted with. Needless to say it didn’t go over well when I let it slip to Kline, fueling their rivalry further. 
    Weighing my options, I decide what’s the worst that can happen? We are in public. Maybe my luck will turn around. They could be getting ready to leave, and I can have their table. I look at my tray and sigh, here goes nothing.
    “Royce, assholes. What’s up?”
    Asshole number one speaks first, “My dick if you’ll be around later tonight.”
    Before I have time to react and let the first tear well up, Royce kicks his chair, “get lost Jake. And you don’t ever talk like that to Brandi again. I will end you if you do,” he warns with a menacing growl.
    “Whatever man. It was a joke. Come on Brad.” Asshole one and two leaves the restaurant.
    I want to be upset with what Jake said but the fact that Royce just stood up for me has me rendered speechless. Brad and Jake are his followers. I can’t believe he is choosing me over them. “Have a seat babe, we need to talk.”
    I swoon hearing him call me babe. I can’t help it. The way he says it melts my insides.
    He reaches across the table and takes my hand.  I want to deny him the right to touch me, but it’s hard. He’s the only guy who’s ever remotely cared for me other than my brother.
    “Are you serious about the cage girl stuff with Lucky 7?”
    “Yeah why?”
    “You need to be careful around Parker Garrett. He’s not a good man.”
    “But you’re under contract with him?”
    “I signed before I met you. Back when I was still with Elizabeth.”
    “What’s wrong with Parker?”
    “I don’t have time to get into that with you right now, but promise me you’ll be careful. I’ve gotta go, but we’ll talk more Saturday.”
    He doesn’t give me a chance to respond.
    I don’t even feel like eating now either.
    I’d probably just fuck my nails up anyway.

    Lucky 7 Promotion’s corporate office is located in a huge building.
    The receptionist directs me to the elevator and tells me to get off on the top floor. I looked for other girls auditioning but didn’t see any. My email said 3:30, so I am guessing he scheduled everyone at different times. It
