KTBEANZ – I do, I need to sleep. One of the reasons I've not updated in what feels like years is cause I've been working 7 days a week and had no time to myself what so ever – what it is to be needed lol. Nope, no coincidence, I thought it was about time I showed you exactly what you guys mean to me and it's a bit of a crappy thank you for all your encouraging reviews and support. Yeah, I thought it was about time that Mr Banks had a nice streak, I was probably in one of my moods lol. Anyways thanks for your support and review. CHEERS MI DEARS!!!!
JOC – Nope, no coincidence, it's my crappy way to say thanks for everything lol. It just seemed right for Connie and Guy to have an argument, my pretty feeble way at comedy lol. Anyways for my song – 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... AT THE END OF EVERY WEEK, EACH ONE OF US BECOMES A FREAK, TONIGHT THE DJ MAKES US MOVE, AND THEN THE SWEAT DROPS FROM THE ROOF, EACH TIME YOU LET THE BASS BEAT HARD, TO KNOW WE ALL SPEND NOW APART, JUST ACTIVATE YOUR ENERGY, LETS SING THE SONG AND COME WITH ME – Special D, Come with me – it's a really good tune lol. Anyways thanks for your review and support. CHEERS MI DEARS!!!!

Chapter 16
ADAM'S P.O.V
"Right Goldberg, suite up in your goalie pads". Bombay ordered Goldberg who had just landed face down on the ice, he then separated the team into 2 putting Luis on the side line as a reserve and separating the bash brothers onto each team.
I was teamed with Russ, Portman, Dwayne and Guy and we had Goldie as our goalie. I thought we had been separated pretty fairly. I took the face off against Charlie, which was a challenge in it's self. Charlie managed to push the puck away from me, but Russ was quicker to retrieve it than Averman. I shot around Charlie and raced down the ice with Ken by my side, Fulton came at us, but Russ passed the puck to Guy who was waiting closer to Julie, I could see as I glanced at her, she was ready for anything. Guy took his shot, but she easily deflected it, luckily I caught the rebound and faked a pass to Dwayne who tried getting the puck passed her, again she easily saved it and managed to pass it to the awaiting Connie, who headed down the ice, then passed to Charlie who tried his triple deek but luckily for us Goldberg knew he'd aim stick side. The puck hit Goldie's stick where Portman picked the puck up and blasted it toward Dwayne who played around with it, his timing perfect, as he passed the puck toward me, just before Fulton crashed into him. I got my break away and zoomed toward Julie, I could see her physically ready herself, I took my shot and yet again she easily saved it, Russ caught the rebound and readied himself for his famous knuckle puck. He took his shot and it flew through the air straight for Julie. Normally by now most goalies had dove out of the way, but neither Julie or Goldberg did, they both stood their ground easily. I watched as she watched the puck, she moved her body and opened her glove ready to catch the puck. Well to put it bluntly, she stopped the puck, but not with her glove. Immediately on impact she fell backwards, banging her head hard on the ice. We all sped over to her, to find her looking cross eyed at the puck that was stuck in the mesh face guard.
"Jule's you ok"? Russ asked guiltily.
"Oh yeah fine". She tried getting up, but soon stumbled back down.
"How many fingers am I holding up"? I asked her.
"I'm not stupid Adam, I know you're holding 2 up, I can just see more than one of you". She giggled.
"Fantasies do come true then". Averman pointed out receiving a glare from me. Just then Orion and Bombay came over to assess the situation. After watching her lay there and giggle like a naughty school girl, we eventually managed to get her up off the ice and onto the bench. I was a little concerned about her, especially when she said she could see stars, but when I saw the glint of mischief in her eyes, I knew she was ok.
We quickly finished the game, which was kind of difficult with only having 1 goalie, but after that we worked on a few plays before Orion and Bombay let us finish. After practise most of the ducks were going to hang out together, except for Connie and Julie who were taking Jocelyn shopping. I relinquished my car keys to the girls and followed the guys to the local pizza parlour, where Goldberg and Portman were already deciding what they were going to order.
"So, how's' life treating you at Connie's folks house"? I asked Guy when we placed ourselves in the booth.
"I gotta tell ya. I can't wait for us to get our own place. Her parents have been real great, but it's hard. I thought when we moved in together that there would be no more parents. It's like we're 15 again". He explained.
"I know what you mean. I mean my parents are pretty busy with Katie, Mark and Jocelyn but it's like I've gone back in time to when I was a kid, having to abide by their rules and all that crap".
"The sooner we get our own place, the better, that's all I can say". He chuckled.
JULIE'S P.O.V
"You still ok"? Connie asked as we entered what was hopefully going to be the last shop.
"Yeah, I've got a little bit of a headache, but I've had some aspirin". I replied.
"Julie, what do you think of this". Joc picked up an outfit from one of the racks.
Eventually, 20 outfits later, we had everything Joc could possibly want. Don't get me wrong, I loved shopping but after the first 15 outfits, I soon realised I couldn't keep up with Joc. I dropped Jocelyn at home before driving back toward the town with one thing in mind.
"So, seriously, how's it going living with the in the Banks' residence"? She asked in mock aristocratic tone.
"It isn't bad. I mean it isn't as bad as I thought it would be. But I miss you know the privacy. The only place we can be alone is in our room and even then we can here Mark picking arguments with Katie".
"I totally understand. I really think me and Guy are gonna have to start looking for our own place. I love my parents and everything and there's obviously a lot more privacy there than at the Banks', but it's so cramped it's untrue".
"I was thinking the exact same thing". I chuckled as I pulled up outside a estate agents.
We entered the small office like shop and told the two sales rep's exactly what we were looking for. In return they gave us each a stack of papers of the apartments that were for sale. There were a few that we could view there and then, but there was also a few we had to book appointments for, but they had photos of some of the rooms. We sat in the car and quickly glanced through them. After deciding to go and see a few, we set off in search for our own homes.
The first few were awful, roach infested dumps that weren't fit for dogs let alone humans. The last few weren't too bad, but I couldn't see myself living there. Eventually we gave our search in and decided to go and catch up with the guys at the pizza parlour. I had told Connie to leave all the apartment stuff in the car, I for one didn't particularly want to bring the subject up in front of everyone. When we went through the main doors, I could hear the guys before I could see them. We immediately joined them where the teasing commenced about what happened at practise. We stayed there for a while longer before separating to our own homes. On the way home, I brought the subject up of our own home with Adam.
"I agree, I never wanted it to be permanent anyway. I thought when I left for college that, that was it". He told me.
"Well, me and Connie have been to an estate agents after we dropped Joc off. We went to look at a few apartments, but they were pretty bad".
We chatted about what kind of apartment we wanted, up until we got back to Adam's parents, neither of us were ready to tell them just yet. Having already eaten, we headed straight up to our room, where we settled on the bed to watch a film.
IMPORTANT – I'm not going to be writing anymore to this story for a while. See I've totally lost sight of where I wanted this to go, plus I'm pretty bored with it at the moment. However it will be back at some point, but I'm gonna work on my other stuff for a bit until I'm replenished with ideas for it. PLEASE R&R with any ideas of where you think I should go.
