Cam POV
I went straight into the NHL right after high school. Luke, Owen and Dallas followed me. We were all on the same team, the Toronto Maple Leafs. They all apologized for bullying me in high school. Now, together on the ice, we were unstoppable. And off the ice, we were actually very close with each other.
Practice was good, though it made me exhausted. But I just can't wait to get back home to see my beautiful girlfriend. Right now we were all in the locker room packing up and getting ready to get home. Shit I have dinner with Tori and Zig tonight. Cannot be late.
"Damn Cam, how long have you and Mini Matlin been together?" Dallas asked pulling me out of my thoughts. I couldn't help but grin at the though of my relationship with Maya. She's all I ever wanted in a woman and more. I still can't believe we lasted this long.
"Um, I believe for eight years now. Eight fantastic years." I replied.
"I got to say Rook, I didn't know you and Chicken Cutlet would make it this far. I honestly can't believe we are all still in touch. I actually can't believe how much you two grew up. I mean. I hope Maya doesn't throw another Chicken Cutlet at me but I like her. She's good for you. Congrats." Owen butted in. I laughed at remember high school with Maya. How we ran away form Katie, how she kissed my ear on our second first date, our first kiss in her old room. I loved her awkwardness and quirkiness either when she was standing up for herself and others or when she just tripped in the halls.
"Shut it Owen. But thank you, I know she's good for me. I do not intend to let someone like her slip through my fingers." I said with a smile on my face. Just thinking about her still brought butterflies to my stomach. After all these years we've stayed together. It's unbelievable. I wouldn't think anyone could stay together this long. But it works for us because we surprise each other and we're just perfect for each other. We need to stay together.
"So if you guys have been together this long, and I doubt you guys are breaking up anytime soon. Why don't you just pop the question? Get down on one knee. Tie the knot?" Luke asked wiggling his eyebrows. All the guys nodded and a sea of yeas erupted.
"I'm planning on it. Don't rush me. Since we're not breaking up anytime soon, there's no rush. But I'm thinking. Don't worry. Now gentlemen, I would love to stay and chat about my love life, but I got to get going. Company tonight. Goodbye" I waved and walked out of the locker room.
When I got back to the apartment it was 5, right on the dot. Good job Cam. Pat on the back. The place looked really nice. The table was set with a dark maroon table clothes, and set with our fancy china. The kitchen smelt amazing. Our apartment was pretty standard. Not really but… it had 5 rooms, a family room, a huge kitchen, and a den downstairs. Yes we did have a down stair. Being paid and famous for what you love has many perks.
"Oh good your home! You need to go get dressed. Wear whatever you want to wear though. It's not fancy so don't get too dressed up! How was practice?" Maya said while coming running through the door. She looked stunning. She was wearing a simple black dress with a sweet heart neckline but it had a lace underlining so it still had sleeves that looked like a t-shirt. The dress has gashes of a deep purple. She was wearing appropriate black heels and yet when she walked up to me she was still a half a head shorter than me. I've grown since high school. Finally I reached 6'1. Maya was only 5'5. "Cam? Like what you see hmm?" She did a little spin for me and all I could do was reply with a hearty laugh. She did look amazing though. She pulled me in by my jacket. I closed my eyes ready for a kiss and… "Now go change Superstar. Just wear jeans with a nice dress shirt but wear a tie." She said to me her face inches away form mine. Dammit. I'm so getting her back.
I ran into our room and did exactly what she said. I looked at the clock. 5:17 pm, good, not late at all. I was wearing a grey button down shirt with a black tie and black washed jeans. When I ran back out into the kitchen she was making a salad.
"M, why do I have to wear a tie? I mean I know I look pretty damn sexy but still, why?" I asked as I walked behind her hugging her from behind and kissing her shoulder.
"So I could do this." Maya replied and turned around. We were pressed up against each other, making sure that not even the tiniest bug could get through. She took hold of my tie and pulled me. She closed her eyes. I could feel her breathe hot on my lips. Payback, Maya Isobel Matlin. Until the last second I moved my face and kissed her cheek. When she opened her eyes she was silently fuming.
"Paybacks a bitch, isn't it now?" I said and before she could respond I captured her lips with mine. My hands went to her waist and hers when to knit in my hair. The kiss started out slow and innocent. But soon went into passion. She teasingly wouldn't let my tongue into her mouth, clamping her mouth shut. My hands then roamed to her butt and gave it a gentle squeeze earing a gasp to be released form her lips. I took this opportunity and slithered my tongue into her mouth. Our tongues battled and fought. It was cute and hilarious that even when we are just kissing we are competitive. She broke away from the kiss. I tried my best to not let it show in my face that I never wanted that kiss to end but to my surprise my hiding did not go over too well.
"Come on, help me. They will be here soon. I need help with the vegetables and I can't reach some spices on the top shelf. Could you get them down for me?" Maya said. I don't know why but she seemed a little nervous and stressed. Maybe it was the fact that in high school Tori always had the spotlight. But I don't know it could just be a girl thing.
After a bit of cooking and more cleaning 6 o'clock rolled around and Tor, Zig and Tommy appeared at the door. Tori and Maya attacked each other with hugs while Zig game me a smirk that I replied with a head nod.
"Wow I can't believe I'm having dinner with Campbell Saunders! Wow, is this a dream? Mom. Pinch me please." Tommy said in awe. We all chuckled at the little boy's cuteness.
"Well, let's get to the table and we'll catch up." Maya said and escorted them all to the table. When we sat down I grabbed her hand under the table. "So catch me up. I'm glad you two are still together. How was Paris? Are you two married?"
"Wait tommy has to take a nap. Would you mind if he crashed on your sofa? I don't mean to be pushy but he spent all afternoon on the ice trying to be like Cam." Tori asked. We both nodded heads. It was fine.
"Ok, let me start with this. Paris was actually so amazing but it sucked because I didn't have my two best friends in the whole entire world with me! I wish you guys were there but Zig came along. We have been going strong just like you and Cam. We had Tommy when I was 18 and he is our whole life. And actually Zig proposed today!" She said while handing her hand to Maya. I felt empty as her hand left mine and went to awe at her ring.
"Congrats!" Maya and I said in unison. "I can't wait for the wedding omg! It's going to be so much fun and fantastic!" Maya said.
"Well, that's what I actually was going to talk about. Maya, you and Tristan are my two best friends in the world and Tristan and I created a system. We would each take turns being each other's main of honor. So I will be Tristan's, Tristan would be yours and Maya, would you please be mine?" Tori continued.
"I would love to! This is going to be amazing!" she responded. I noticed the blush that came onto her whenever Tori brought up her getting married. I plan one day to make her my wife.
"So, Zig what do you do for a living?" I asked making conversation.
"I'm actually a music producer for my own record company. How's the hockey life treating you?" he asked
"Wow, that's good. And it's been amazing. For all of us to be successful doing something we love." I said.
"Well I must say, I am impressed. Maya you sure have grown. And got boobs!" Tori remarked. "I mean no more spitting in each other's faces or more stuffing your bra. Wow, my little Maya is all grown up."
"Oh shut up. But I'm glad we're still friends" Maya responded blushing.
"Wait, what about spitting in each other's faces?" I interrupted while reaching my hand to find my Maya's.
"Wait, you never told Cam. Well back in the beginning of 9th grade. Maya here had a little crush on Zigmund. We fought over each other and it ended up with spitting in each other's faces with our instrument and pulling each other to the ground and grabbing hair. " Tori filled him in.
A couple more reminiscing of our high school days and some glasses of win later and Tori and Zig along with Tommy left. Maya and I cleaned and got into be. I only sleep in my boxers and she only sleeps in one of my shirts. We were lying in bed; cuddling when suddenly she just started talking.
"Do you ever want a house?" Maya asked out of the blue. She touched my chest and traced my abs with her fingers. I loved it when she did that.
"Of course I do. I want a house and kids and you as my wife. But we're not there yet. But I promise you when we are, you can have whatever you want." I responded with a smile. I took my hand and brushed a piece of blonde off her face.
"You want kids?" she asked. I nodded and smiled. "Well I want a house on the lake. A big house with plenty of room for our kids to play with. We would live on the cold a sac so there could be a hockey net in the street. I want the house to be a dark beige with stone and beautiful. I would really like a wrap around porch so we could sit on it and watch the sun set. And our room would be huge and have the perfect view of the lake so I could paint." She said with a huge grin. Maya has a hidden talent. She's an amazing painter. She says it clears her mind.
"Your wish is my command love." I said and kissed her shoulder. I proceeded to move my lips to her face. Now hovering her body I peeled off her shirt. She continued to trace her fingers over my abs. And soon our passionate kiss turned into a night of making love.
