Chapter One: On the Verge
--------
"This guy." Guy mumbled to Charlie, as the team walked to the locker room from the ice, with Connie talking up a storm with one of the new players, Luis Mendoza.
"Don't worry about it, man." Charlie said, as Guy's hand formed a fist at the sight of Connie, giggling at whatever Luis was saying. "Averman was just joking around before."
"No, Charlie." Guy said, shaking his head. "She's the one who brought it up, saying he was a good looking skater. She's the one who's talking to him right now. Averman just pointed out the obvious."
Charlie sighed, with no response except, "Don't make a big deal out of it, Guy. It's just gonna get you guys in a fight."
Guy watched as Connie laughed loudly, and put her hand onto to Luis's arm.
"Oh, there is definitely going to be a fight."
--------
"Connie, what the hell are you doing?" Guy's face was red, as he paced back and forth, anger and frustration brewing, evident on his face. His fist formed as he asked himself, 'Why are we still together when you want to be with every other guy but me?'
"Guy! Stop freaking out, it's no big deal. I was talking to him because he was our new to the team, not because I want him in my pants." Connie stood up, from the bench in the locker room that echoed with their voices. Guy clenched his jaw, just like she knew he would.
'Just end it all.' Guy considered to himself, as he sat down, and Connie looked down at him.
"Are we okay now?" Connie asked, sitting next to him. "I'm so tired of arguing about this."
"I don't know." Guy whispered, and her face fell in disappointment.
"Fine." Connie stood up, "Just call me when you're done with your menstrual cycle." Guy watched her brown hair, sway from side to side, as she walked out of the locker room, leaving him to contemplate staying in a relationship that felt like it was passing away like a fad.
--------
Connie, who stormed by Julie, without realizing she was there, walked towards Luis, who was smiling.
"Hey." Luis realized the scowl on her face, "What's wrong?"
Connie shook her head, and clenched her teeth, "Guy. God, he makes me so mad. I don't know what the hell is wrong with him. He's always picking a fight with me. It feels like that what we're always doing. Fighting."
"Do you wanna go get something to eat?" Luis asked, disregarding anything she said in her rant.
"What?" Connie asked, bewildered that he offered no advice to her.
"I think you should get your mind off it. What's the best way to do that, other than eating?" Luis said, with a smile, which soon caught on to Connie, who found herself smiling at the Latino, with a strong jaw line, and amazing smile.
"Sure, let's go eat."
--------
'Do you really want to be in this relationship? She's so on and off, you never know what's going with her. You never know if she's gonna dump you, for some guy like Luis.' Guy was asking himself, until he heard Julie's voice break the silence in the locker room.
"Guy?" Julie slowly walked in. "Hey, are you okay? Connie seemed pretty upset when she walked out of her, and I heard a lot of yelling, so."
'She looks trustworthy enough.' Guy thought as he shrugged, and sighed, "I don't know. We just got into another fight. As part of the team, you'll get used to the arguing we do as daily routine."
Julie nodded as she sat down, "Do you wanna talk about?"
Guy stared at her face, filled with genuine concern, "We always have these fight about her and other guys. She's always flirting, and she thinks I can't see it, but I do." Guy rolled his eyes, "I think she likes Luis."
"Well, he is pretty hot." Julie said, followed by a laugh.
Guy smiled, "Thanks for reminding me."
"Sorry," Julie contained her chuckle, "Go on."
The two continued the conversation, in the locker room that lasted for an hour and a half. It was about the same time span that Connie and Luis went out to eat.
