I awoke the next morning to the sound of Jack's breathing and heartbeats. I enjoyed it for a while, then a knock came on the door.
"Attention lovebirds, we have to be at practice in half an hour. Please try not to look like you just got laid." Robbie's message was by far, the worst wake up call I'd ever had.
"We didn't do anything!" I yelled, throwing a nearby shoe at the door.
Jack's laugh rumbled down to his chest, making my head shake. "I could get used to this." He said, leaving butterfly kisses all over my face. I smiled inwardly 'So could I' I thought.
I groaned and pushed myself off the bed in the direction of the bathroom. "I'm taking a shower."
"Mind if I join you?" Jack wriggled his eyebrows at me.
"Yes actually. But if you're lucky I might come out in a towel." I said grinning
"Tease!"
As I took my shower I pondered Jack and my relationship. I knew I could trust him and I wasn't a virgin, but at the same time I knew from experience and second-hand accounts that after sex, the relationship sort of goes down the toilet. I was still lost in my own thoughts when I stepped out of the hotel bathtub and wrapped a fluffy white towel around me. I opened the door and involuntarily shivered at the drop in temperature. The next thing I knew, I was pressed up against the wall, Jack's mouth against mine, kissing me hungrily. He moved to my neck, sucking every drop of water from my skin. I moaned, no one had ever made me feel this way, ever. He pulled away, receiving a whimper of displeasure from me.
He smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, I just couldn't resist."
I pouted. "It's fine. Why'd you stop?" I asked, wrapping both arms around his neck, pulling him close enough to keep my towel in place, but not so close that he couldn't see it drooping.
Jack swallowed nervously and backed away. "I-uh, we should- w- we need to get to practice." He stammered
My face fell and began to heat up. "Yeah, I-uh guess we should."
He grabbed my arm as I brushed past him. "Not that I wouldn't want to continue. I just think we'd be a little late if we did."
I nodded "yeah, you're right." I kissed him swiftly and sent him out the door.
Jack patiently waited outside my room until I got dressed. We walked in silence for a while, until I voiced a thought that had been bugging me for the past few weeks. "Jack, is this- I mean, do you have a girl back home?"
"What'd ya mean?" he asked chortling.
I was not kidding around. I turned to face him, my face serious. "I mean, do you have a girlfriend waiting for you back in Boston?"
"Of course not." He said. "I would never do that to you. I love you, you know that."
"I should hope so. You'd have 21 hockey players on your ass for it." I replied
He shrugged "But you know what they say, bros before hos."
My mouth fell open. "Really? So I'm just a 'ho'? Is that it?"
Jack grasped his mistake almost immediately. "No, no, no! I'm just saying that some of the guys wouldn't be as hard on me as others."
"Dad would make up for it." I said matter-of-factly, holding open the lobby door for him
"I bet he would. He'd kick me off the team."
We boarded the bus and of course everything went silent. I took a seat next to Silky, across from Rizzo and in front of Jack and Robbie.
"We didn't do anything." I muttered.
"That's what they all say." Silky snickered. I punched him in the shoulder. Hard. "Ow! That hurt!"
I rolled my eyes. "That was the point genius."
Kinda fluffy, I realize. Read and Review!
