A week later, I had decided to drive over to the dorms and visit the team. Actually Buzz was getting a poker game together and invited me. When I pulled up at the dorms of the U where the boys were staying, I saw Herb walking on the sidewalk with Jim Craig.

As I got out of my car I saw Herb throw away some papers and leave Jim standing on the sidewalk. I shrugged and locked my car. I walked over towards where Jim was standing.

"In trouble with the coach?" I called out to him.

He turned around. "Hey Georgia. Not really, he wanted to talk to me about not taking that psych test, and then asked me how my family was."

"It may be none of my business but speaking as a friend, if you ever want to talk about anything, just call me or pull me aside at practice." I said.

"Thanks. What are you doing here anyway?" he asked me as we walked towards the building.

"Buzzy is getting a poker game going. He invited me over. Said Verchota was supplying the beer. You wanna join us?" I asked.

"Sounds good. You play poker?" Jim asked holding the door open for me.

"Oh just a little." I said with a wink.

We walked up to the third floor. When I walked into Buzz and Bah's room, I saw they already were playing and that everyone had a beer.

"Georgy, my beautiful wife! Come get a beer, jump in the game!" Mac yelled from the poker table.

"Hey, Jim! How's it going?" Pavelich asked him.

"Not bad." Jim said sitting down at the poker table.

"There isn't enough chairs!" I complained with a smile.

"Sit on my lap." Mac said and patted his thighs.

"No way, you just want to look at my cards." I told him.

"Who me?" Mac said trying to look innocent.

"How soon we forget the 'National Championship Victory party incident'?" Janny said.

"Here Georgia, you can sit on my knee." Christian said. "I won't look at your cards, I promise."

"Thanks. Nice to see that chivalry isn't completely dead!" I said with a laugh and sat on his knee.

"Hey, I opened the doors for you on the way here!" Jim mock protested.

"Yes, but goalies are always gentlemen." I said. "That is why I went to spring formal with Janny."

(A Few Hands Later)

"Georgia, who taught you to play poker?" Bah asked looking at my pile of chips. "You've won the last three hands."

"Buzzy." I told them.

"Way to go, Schneider. We're getting beat by a woman and it's all your fault." Verchota said.

"Hey, we had to do something while traveling to those away games. I taught her to play poker." Buzz said.

"Couldn't you have just sat in the back of the bus and made out with her?" Verchota asked.

"Just because you did that with that little blonde sports medicine intern…what was her name again?" Pavelich asked.

"Celia, the infamous Celia how could you forget?" Bah asked.

"Right, Celia. Anyway Philly, the point is not all of us are you!" Pavelich said.

"Besides, kissing Georgy would be like kissing my sister." Buzz said.

"I feel so much love in this room." I said sarcastically.

(Later in the evening)

After we settled up, I had won 23. I had drunk just a few too many beers to drive.

"Mac, can I stay in your room? I don't think I should try to drive." I said.

"You don't have to bother Mac and Janny; I have a single room." Jim said. "You can stay with me."

"You don't mind?" I asked.

"Not at all, you don't snore do you?" Jim asked with a smile.

I waved goodbye to the boys and followed Jim down the hall to his room. He opened the door for me.

"How did you manage to get a single?" I asked.

"There are 25 of us now that Herb had to send one guy home injured. Someone had to be alone." Jim said. "You're not like gonna puke all night are you?"

"Nothing like that. I just felt a little too buzzed to drive." I said. "Thanks for letting me stay here. I appreciate it!" I said.

"It's no problem. The couch pulls out into a bed." Jim said.

"Can I use your restroom?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure." Jim said.

I walked into the bathroom and closed the door behind me. I splashed some cool water on my forehead. Feeling better I would just pee quickly and head to bed.

"AHHHHHH, OH HELL!" I shrieked.

"Georgia, what the hell?" Jimmy called from outside the door.

"I fell in the toilet; you left the seat up!" I called back and heard Jim laughing. "It's not funny!"

"Sorry Georgy. I didn't expect to have a woman in my room tonight." Jim said but I could tell he was still laughing. "There are some towels under the sink."

"Thanks." I called and struggled to my feet. "My clothes are wet, what am I going to sleep in?"

"Your birthday suit!" Jim called.

"But I'll get cold!" I called back pretending to whine. I could tell Jim was kidding.

"I'll keep you warm. After all it's the gentlemanly thing to do. And you said goalies were gentlemen." Jim said and I could practically see the smile on his face.

"You're all heart!" I called out to him while stripping out of my wet clothes.

"Don't sell me short!" Jim called back.

I was glad that he couldn't see me because I was starting to blush. "Jim, do you mind if I shower; I feel kinda gross after swimming in your toilet."

"Only if I can join you!" Jim called in.

"Since when are you so flirtatious?"

"Since you're really sweet and you don't mind me being a bit silly!" Jim called. "Go ahead and shower."

I took a quick shower, even using his shampoo to wash my hair. Once I was feeling clean again I shut the shower off and stepped out. I turned and rinsed my clothes out and hung them up to dry. I wrapped a towel around me and opened the door to the bedroom.

I saw that Jim had pulled out the couch into a bed and put sheets and blankets on it. I smiled but felt like I was imposing on him.

"You need something to sleep in?" Jim asked pulling me from my thoughts. "Although you look nice in a towel."

"I am so sorry, I feel like I am this big problem for you." I said.

"Don't be silly. All did was make up your bed. You're the one that fell in the toilet and now has to sleep naked." Jim said.

"Well if I have to sleep naked so do you!" I said and winked.

"Here, I'll get you something to sleep in." Jim said. Jim started digging through one of his dressers. After a few minutes he handed me a long t-shirt.

"Thank, Jim. Would you turn around so I can change really quick?" I asked.

"Do I have to?" Jim said but turned around.

I crossed to the other side of the room and quickly pulled the shirt over my head, then pulled the towel out from under it. "All done, you can turn around." I told him. "Jim I want to thank you. You have been so nice, letting me stay, letting me shower, and letting me wear your shirt."

"Letting you swim in my toilet. It's no problem. You're good company." He said.

"Thanks, you too." I said and climbed into bed.

Jim went to the kitchenette and filled a glass with water. He walked over and placed it on the table next to the bed/couch I was in. "In case you get thirsty during the night. I get thirsty after drinking. This way you don't have to stumble in the dark." He said.

"Thank you." I said.

Jim walked across the room to get in his bed. He turned out the lights.

"Hey Georgy?" Jim called.

"Yeah?"

"You offer for me to sleep naked beside you very often and I might take you up on it sometime." Jim said in the dark.

I blushed and was glad he couldn't see me. "Well you better be careful offering to shower with me." I said.
