at us.
    “I’d like to tour an apartment, please,” Lucas said politely.
    Upon hearing a male voice, Bunny immediately sat up, dropped her fingernail file, and leaned forward.
    “I’m Bunny?” she batted her eyelashes at Lucas, totally ignoring me.
    Apparently, today Bunny was channeling her inner cowgirl. She had on a plaid button down shirt with the ends tied together so that her midriff was exposed. It was so low cut, she might as well have not bothered to button it at all.
    She stood up and walked around the desk to stand by Lucas. I’d thought my denim shorts were short but her cut offs practically exposed her butt cheeks! How can they let her come to work looking like that?
    As a finishing touch to her ridiculous ensemble, Bunny was wearing her long blond hair in two annoying pigtails. Her outfit was so over the top, I couldn’t help but think that it almost looked like a slutty cowgirl Halloween costume.
    “I’m Lucas,” he was introducing himself to Bunny now.
    “I’m Aurora,” I cut in. “Remember? We met last night.”
    Bunny stared at me, looking confused. Finally, she snapped her fingers. “That’s right? How are you darling,” she said in a sugary sweet voice.
    I looked at Lucas. Surely he wasn’t buying this garbage. But then again, I would have thought Henry was smarter than that, and he’d obviously been enamored!
    But to my relief, Lucas looked like he was trying desperately not to laugh. Surely he’d had centuries of women throwing themselves at him and had stopped being fooled by this kind of behavior ages ago.
    Bunny had pulled out a sheet of paper with pricing information and floor layouts. She was standing next to Lucas, her arm touching his, going over each option as though he wasn’t capable of reading by himself.
    I could feel my anger rising again. Bunny really knew how to push my buttons.
    What nerve! How can she throw herself at him like that? Shouldn’t she assume we’re a couple? After all, we are out apartment hunting together!
    “Can I see?” I interjected, not even caring if I sounded rude. “I plan on helping my boyfriend with the decision.”
    For the first time, Bunny actually focused her attention on me. “Boyfriend,” she questioned. “I thought you were there last night with Henry.” Bunny looked at me triumphantly.
    So she’s not as dumb as she acts – or looks. I tried to think of a good comeback. I had said Henry was my date! How could I have forgotten that?
    I looked at Lucas, hoping he would help me out. He seemed to get my silent message.
    “Aurora is my girlfriend,” he confirmed. “It’s a new development. We haven’t really announced it to anyone yet.”
    “Oh?” Bunny looked disappointed.
    Ha! Serves you right, you stupid cow.
    “Well, you can’t rent an apartment together?” she said. “You have to be eighteen to sign a lease?” She looked at me triumphantly.
    “I’m old enough,” Lucas said quickly. “My girlfriend is just helping me make the decision.”
    Annoyance registered on Bunny’s face but she didn’t comment further. Still with the same flirty demeanor towards Lucas (I had a feeling hearing some guy already had a girlfriend didn’t do much to deter Bunny) we walked around and looked at the different apartment options.
    Lucas decided to rent a one-bedroom apartment. It was small; it looked more like the suite we stayed at when my family went to Florida for a week than an apartment! But as Lucas pointed out, he didn’t need or want much space.
    And he can’t risk the twins showing up, hiding here and ambushing him. You would pretty much know immediately if someone was in the apartment, which was a good thing.
    I wasn’t too keen on him being so close to Bunny, but once school started back who knew if she’d even keep working here. And besides, it wasn’t like she was going to cast a spell and suddenly make Lucas attracted to her.
    Lucas finished filling out the paperwork and we left. After the credit and
