Chapter 26 - Hotels

Disclaimer: THIS CHAPTER IS RATED R!

Marie watched the boys enter the hotel lobby one after another about an hour later. Some of them looked beat, while the others looked like they could stay up all night. "I swear you guys look more like a catholic school choir in those uniforms than a hockey team," she told Silk when he came up.

"A catholic school choir?" he asked raising an eyebrow. "Then I guess I should be getting detention any day now with Sister Mary."

Marie smiled. "What did you do to deserve it?"

Silk leaned in and whispered, "I got caught making-out with my girlfriend in the principal's office."

Marie tilted her head and gave him a smirk. "Was it worth it?"

Silk nodded and they leaned in for a kiss.

"Will you two please buy some protection and get a room," Regan said quietly, but only for the group to hear.

Marie's face brightened in embarrassment, but she gave Regan a look that told her to shut up.

"If looks could kill," Verchota remarked after the snickers quieted down. "Saturday Night Live is on. If anybody wants to, Pav and I are watching it, you can join us."

Verchota, Pav, Bah, and Jannie left to go upstairs to Pav and Mark's room. Marie stepped next to Regan and Regan shrieked when Marie hit her arm with her right hand.

"That hurt," Regan said while holding the spot on her arm.

"At least it wasn't my cast," Marie replied. "You mentioned to your mom we might stay here for the night, right, when you called?"

Regan nodded. "Of course." She turned to her boyfriend. "Rizzo, she hurt me."

Rizzo put an arm around Marie's shoulder and asked, "Are you beating up my girlfriend?"

Marie nodded. "She deserved it." Rizzo chuckled before turning back to his girlfriend. Silk put an arm around her shoulders after Rizzo left with Regan toward the elevator. She looked up at him and asked, "How are you?"

"I'm good, considering we just lost to the Russians. Concerned for OC," he told her.

Marie patted him on the back. "All we gotta do is wait and see if he's going to be ok."

Silk nodded and led her over to the elevators. As the group waited they decided to head to Pav and Mark's room to watch the show with them. However, considering it was already midnight, the show was already halfway done, but they didn't care. After the show was over, the group just sat around talking.

"Whenever they scored, they never smiled. They're like robots," Rizzo said. 1

Mark told them, "Silky, Rammer, Morrow, Broten, and I were ready to stand up and applaud them. Those were beautiful goals." 1

Marie nodded. "I don't remember the Russian, but when he got the puck, it was in his skates, he kicked it to his stick and scored. That was… really impressive."

Mark nodded. "I was impressed. He did it in front of me."

"How about when Christoff and I ran into each other when he had the puck?" Verchota mentioned. "That was totally stupid. I can't believe I did that."

Bah jeered, "The Russians could. They were laughing at you in the USSR."

Verchota threw a pillow at Bah and the group laughed.

"Wonder how Jack is doing?" Connie asked finally bringing it up.

Bah shrugged. "We'll find out hopefully soon."

Pav replied, "When he went down and didn't get back up, my heart seriously stopped."

"How'd your dad tear his knee?" Silk asked Marie.

Marie told them, "He was making a pass to a teammate, he didn't see the other guy, and when he went down his knee must have went in a different direction. He doesn't really know how it happened. All he knew was he was in pain and the injury ended his career."

"When did it happen?" Mark asked.

"1953. He was at Yale and he was already studying law. Convenient? Yes."

"It would suck if that happened to OC," Rob said, "He's an awesome player."

"For my dad though, it was his fate. A couple months later, he married my mom. Seven months after that Tom was born," Marie said. "And as much as I bitched about them, I knew they enjoyed their life with one another and wanted what was best for us."

"Yeah, but what will happen with OC?" Pav asked.

Regan said, "Hey, you guys don't worry about his future. We don't know if his ligament is torn."

Mark changed the subject. "Did you guys know that this is the second time Lake Placid is hosting the Olympics."

"I did not know that," Connie replied while chuckling.

"I want to try to see Eric Heiden. There's a lot of buzz about him," Regan said.

"What Olympic sport does he play again?" Rizzo asked.

"Speed skater," Marie replied. "I would like to try to go to one of the races. Also a figure skating competition."

"Guys night out on that night," Rob remarked. Connie hit his stomach, but was chuckling.

"How are you getting there?" Bah asked the girls.

Regan replied, "Taking my parents station wagon."

"Won't they need a car?"

"They live in the city. The car just sits in a parking lot collecting dust."

"When do you guys leave in the morning?" Marie asked.

"Seven. At least it won't be five," Bah responded.

"Your parents, brothers, and sisters are coming in right?" Marie asked the guys.

"Yeah," they said in unison.

Silk started to chuckle. "Jannie, I swear he can sleep anywhere." Jannie was on one of the beds sound asleep.

"I still say we prank him," Bah whispered just in case he was awake. "Put shaving cream on him…"

"And like I said last time, he'll kill you if you shave off his facial hair," Marie told him.

Bah smirked. "Come on. It'll be fun."

Marie shook her head. "Whatever."

For the next half hour the group talked some more, before they called it a night. They tried to wake Jannie up, but didn't succeed in doing so. Mark said he was fine with sharing the bed as long as Jannie doesn't try anything.

Silk handed Marie a t-shirt and boxer shorts of his to wear to bed. She went into the bathroom to change and after about ten minutes she went back out. Silk was in the middle of taking his tie off when she came out. She looked t him funny because he was standing still just looking at her.

"Is there something on my face?" she enquired.

Silk shook his head and finally took the tie off. He kissed her real fast before heading into the bathroom.

Marie turned the covers down and got into the bed. She sat there for a good ten minutes waiting for him to come out, but after another five minutes was wondering if he fell in. Going over to the bathroom door, she was about to knock when she heard a noise. She covered her mouth in surprise when she realized what he was doing in there. Going back over to the bed, she smiled and started to chuckle. She never thought she could make a guy do that.

Marie looked over at her purse on the desk in the room. Earlier in the day when the girl's went out, and they stopped by the drug store, Marie had seen some condoms. For those few minutes that they were in the store, she was debating just to get some for a possibility in the future. So she did when Connie and Regan were waiting outside for her when she told them she had to get some Tylenol. When they had gone back to Regan's parent's house, Marie had taken two out and placed them in her purse for only God knows why. Marie bit her lip, was debating on getting one and decided to take chance. After taking it out, she stashed it in the elastic of the boxers, thinking wouldn't that be a fun way to shock him, and went back over to the bed to wait.

After he came out of the bathroom, he gave her a quick kiss before reaching over to turn off the lamp. However, to his surprise she sat in his lap and kissed him passionately. "Aren't you tired?" he asked when she started to kiss his neck.

"Surprisingly I'm not anymore. I just found a little bit more energy," she whispered in his ear before tugging at it with her teeth. "Do you really think I'm that hot in your t-shirt and boxers?"

Silk realized that she must have heard him in the bathroom. "Ok… so you caught me. I got worked up. It's just if you only knew what this image on you looks like… you'd understand."

"I'm swimming in this shirt," Marie said against his neck. "How is that sexy?"

Silk replied, "Doesn't matter. You're wearing my clothes."

Marie smiled at him before kissing him. While one hand was wrapped in his hair, the other hand slowly was making its way downward. When he realized where it was headed, he stopped her.

"I thought we decided to wait," he said.

Marie replied, "Yeah, but I think we've waited a good seven weeks."

Silk placed his hands on her cheeks and gave her a kiss. "I don't know. Your hand is broken and in a cast. We don't have any protection."

Marie smiled and reached down into the elastic part of the boxers and brought out a condom. "We do actually."

Silk sighed. "I think we should wait."

Marie tilted her head and gave him a Cheshire cat smile. "Baby, I'm sitting on your lap. I don't think he'll agree with you," Marie stated before kissing him. She lifted his shirt off of him before kissing his chest. "You want me as much as I want you."

Silk tried to talk to her out of it. He was only thinking of her injury and if they did this it'll make the healing process worse.

Marie told him that she knew and that no matter what he wasn't changing her mind. "See here's the thing. I want to touch you everywhere with my lips and my hands, and I know you want me to."

"But…"

She put a finger against his lips and then to really make sure he knew she was serious, she reached for the hem on her shirt and took it off. She gave him a smirk of told you so when his eyes traveled over her chest. "Like what you see?"

"If we don't stop now…"

Marie sighed. "Stop it. Don't think." She started to kiss him again and this time he stopped trying and went with it. Marie smiled against his lips.
