Free Lying Love (Lazy Love Book 3) by Kirsten Osbourne Page A

in the show, and he seemed even more annoyed now that he was meeting the man playing that love interest.
    Tony smiled. “Jesse was kind enough to invite me over to get to know everyone this evening. It’s hard coming into a show that’s as well-established as this one. You’ve had the same four main stars since the first day.”
    Amber nodded. “We have, and we’re all very close.” She resumed her seat on the couch, and John sat beside her, even closer than he’d been before. Amber gave him a look, wondering if he was going to let everyone see just how jealous he was.
    The door opened again, and Bob and May came in. May’s eyes widened as she saw there were two men she didn’t know and a little girl. Amber smiled at her friend. “I want you to meet John and Nicki, May. John and I just decided we’re going to get married on Saturday.”
    May let out a squeal and hurried over to hug Amber. “I’m so happy for you!” She looked at John and smiled. “Be good to her.”
    “I don’t know any other way to be,” he said softly. “Nicki, say hi to Miss May. She’s one of Amber’s best friends.”
    “Hi, Miss May.”
    “Hi, Nicki.”
    May sat down on the other side of Nicki, while Bob introduced himself to Tony.
    “I ordered pizzas,” Jesse said to Valerie. “I ordered from the little place in town that does the taco pizzas, so you and May can get your taco cravings satisfied.”
    Amber shook her head, looking at John. “No one should have let these two be pregnant at the same time. They’re both talking about tacos non-stop and have been for a while. If I have to eat another taco, they’re going to start growing out of my ears.”
    Valerie made a face. “Baby boy wants tacos. Not me! It’s not my fault!” She rubbed her belly with a grin.
    May shrugged. “Baby Bobby wants tacos too.”
    John looked at May. “You already know you’re having a boy?”
    “Nope. But Bob has declared we’re naming him Robert if it’s a boy and Bobbette if it’s a girl. Either way it will end up being Bobby.”
    “Bobbette?” John asked. He couldn’t imagine a loving parent naming their baby Bobbette.
    “Just don’t even go there,” Amber whispered.
    Bob and Jesse were still talking to Tony, but after a minute, Bob turned to look at John. He walked over and held his hand out to shake. John immediately jumped to his feet to greet the older man. “It’s nice to meet you.”
    Bob nodded. “You too. I saw you at the signing yesterday. Amber has obviously known you for a very long time.”
    “We were high school sweethearts,” John said. “I have regretted the day we split up for over five years. I’m not letting her go again.” He knew he was being sized up by the two most important men in her life, and he needed to make a good impression.
    “Be good to her. We all think of Amber as a little sister around here, and we don’t want her hurt.”
    “I won’t hurt her.” John wondered at the loyalty Amber had brought out in her two male co-workers. They obviously cared for her a great deal.
    Bob smiled, the smile slightly predatory. “No, you won’t.” He turned back to Tony to talk a little more.
    Amber bit her lip to stifle her laugh. She couldn’t believe Bob was threatening John, but she found it very amusing. She’d been friends with both of her co-workers since their first day on set, but they’d always seen her as a little sister to be protected. She hated it just as much as she loved it.
    She looked over at May, who was talking quietly with Nicki. “I’d like you to stand up with me. You and Valerie, of course.”
    May nodded, a smile lighting up her face. “I’d love to!”
    “We’re going to have to pick a day to go dress shopping, because I need to get you both attendant dresses and little miss Nicki needs a flower girl dress. And a basket and flowers, of course.”
    May frowned at that. “And the wedding is Saturday? How about Tuesday?”
    Amber shook her head. “I’m not filming
