AN: I have decided to write a bit of humor into this cause I can't deny the Ducks are very humorous. And I figured I couldn't let Adam be a shy quiet kid. Because if you hang out with Fulton and Portman long enough, there is no way you could get away with being shy. Hope you like the next chapter! And Don't be afraid to reply! Love reviews! and sorry for taking so long on this update. got a new phone and haven't figures out the android app for documents. so been trying to write on my old phone and transferring it to this phone... it's not working out the best. if any of you know of a app let me know!
"Charlie!" Amore screamed from upstairs. Charlie cringed. Amore and Adam were at it again. It wasn't the same, about to kill each other, fights like it had been before, but it was still annoying.
"Dude, I thought you said they were better." Portman said from the computer.
"Just wait." Charlie said with a smirk.
"Adam Banks give me back those shorts!" Amore demanded.
"Who's shorts?" Adam asked clearly sounding amused.
"Hey, you left them at my house, giving me the right to claim them." Amore demanded. "They wont even fit you any more!"
"Not the point." Adam replied.
Julie laughed and shook her head. "What are you complaining about? They're getting along aren't they?"
Charlie groaned. "As long as there is no word exchange. Last week I thought it would be back to the way they used to be. Then Amore got first string and we didn't. Adam has been picking small fights with her since."
He looked at his friends as they stared at him. All five of them looked shocked.
"What do you mean Adam didn't get first string? Adam always gets first string." Guy was the first one to speak.
"Thank's for that Guy." Charlie said rolling his eyes. "I told the coach to put them on the same team, but he wouldn't listen. Even told him it was his fault if one of them left in a body bag, cause they'd kill each other. Still wouldn't listen. Amore made Adam look bad. He's been carrying a grudge all week."
"What exactly did she do?" Connie asked in concern.
"What Adam did to me during the dawn match." Charlie replied. "She was stuck to him like glue through the whole scrimage. And you know how those two are. They know every move the other is going to make on the ice."
Julie sighed heavily. "Except Amore has always been better at reading him."
"Exactly." Charlie replied. Amore stormed into the kitchen and sat down on Charlie's lap with a frustrated sigh and leaned back so she could rest her head on his shoulder. She didn't even notice Charlie had been video chatting with some of the Ducks.
"Charlie, he looks rediculous!" Amore replied then quickly sat up almost knocking him in the nose. "You just wait. When he comes down here, tell him he's being an idiot and I want those shorts back!"
Adam came strolling into the kitchen wearing a pair of navy blue gym shorts that clung to him way too much.
Charlie tried to hide his laughter behind his hand but it didn't work as the others burst out into laughter.
"Damn Cake-eater, looking good!" Russ teased as Portman cat called. Adam smirked.
"Hey they look better on me than Mory." Adam replied. He attempted to sit down but realized that task wasn't going to happen with those shorts on.
"You look like a complete moron!" Amore demanded. Adam smirked and messed up her hair. He then walked to the fridge.
Connie bit her lower lip but decided she couldn't hold back her next comment. "Don't move Adam. I think Amore's liking the few."
Amore's jaw dropped as she glared at her friend. Adam winked at them from the fridge.
"See what I'm talking about!" Charlie demanded. "This is nonstop! For a week now!"
"Actually man, I find it quite entertaining." Russ replied.
"Then you come and switch me places." Charlie said grudgingly.
"Awe Charlie, you would never leave me." Amore said rubbing her nose in the crease of his neck. "I'm your sister remember. You have to love me."
Charlie rolled his eyes. "Your a step-sister and there is no blood relation there. So I have every right to disown you."
Amore pretended to pout. "But Charlie... I heart you!"
The other Ducks noticed Adam flinch in the background. But he didn't seem jealous of Charlie. It was more of what Amore had said that cause such a reaction.
"So I hear Slick smoked your ass Preppy." Portman said with a smirk.
"Thank's Portman." Adam said grudgingly.
"God! I'm sorry!" Amore demanded as she walked up to Adam and took the milk cartain out of his hand that he drank from a few second earlier. "I thought you would have tried harder to best me."
Amore took a glass down from one of the cabnets and filled it with milk. She put the milk back in the fridge and took a sip from the glass before handing the glass to Adam and walking back to sit on Charlie's lap.
"How was I to know you'd get all pissy." Amore said then noticed her friends smirking at her from the computer screen.
"Progress." Julie said and the others nodded. Amore fell silent. She looked back at Adam who was leaning agaist the counter drinking his milk. She couldn't see what Julie was talking about.
"Well, we have practice in a half hour." Amore said quickly changing the subject. "And if we are going to actually get there on time, we'd better start getting ready about fifteen minutes ago."
"I think you got time." Guy replied and Amore shook her head.
"Not with slowpoke and even slower." Amore said patting Charlie's cheek. "Talk to you all later!"
Amore got up and turned back to face Adam. "Now that you've proven your point can I have the shorts back?"
"You really want them back?" Adam asked with a smirk. "Cause I'm going cumando as we speak."
Amore gave him a grossed out look. "After you wash them."
Amore walked away and Adam smirked as he finished his milk.
"One step at a time." Adam said repeating what Julie had been repeating since he found out he'd been plotted against.
"I didn't mean annoy her into liking you!" Julie said with a light laugh.
Adam shrugged. "Oh she likes me. She's just keeping up the stubborn act around Charlie."
Charlie looked at Adam in shock. "What's that supposed to mean!"
"Dude, when have Amore and I ever had to have a conversation to know what the other one is thinking?" Adam replied.
"Freshman year when you confessed your love for the girl." Goldberg replied as he joined the video chat and cought the last bit of the conversation. "Adam, man, what the hell are you wearing?"
"Look good on me don't they." Adam replied with a playfull wink.
"Get off the computer and start getting ready!" Amore demanded from up stairs. Adam and Charlie chuckled as they said goodbye to their friends and got out of the video chat.
"No really, what was Banks wearing?" Goldberg asked when charlie exited the video chat.
"Long story man." Russ replied.
"When did Banks get a little mouthy?" Guy asked.
Portman rolled his eyes. "I don't know some time during high school when he started to hang out with me and fulton. You probably didn't notice. To busy pawing at Cons."
"Hey I enjoyed that pawing!" Connie said with giggle.
XOXOXOX
After practice Amore skated up to Adam and Charlie. "Some of the first string players are going for a bite to eat. They said you could come too."
Charlie looked over at Adam then at Amore. She rolled her eyes. "Yes I'll pay."
"Then we are there." Charlie said putting an arm around Amore's shoulder as they walked into the locker room. Adam wasn't that far behind.
"You get them to come Bombay?" One of the first string guys asked. Amore nodded. "Good, and next time you don't have to ask. Just bring them."
Charlie gave Amore a sideways look. "I thought they invited us?"
"Only because Amore wouldn't come with out the both of you." Another player replied with a smirk.
"I told you! I'm there ride." Amore said rolling her eyes as she went to her locker and grabbed her clean clothes.
Another player nudge Adam. "Dude, we practically begged her to come. She kept shaking her head and said not with out her boys."
Adam smirked and looked over at Amore. His jaw dropped open and his cheeks began to flush when he saw that she was changing. Not even caring that other players had noticed as well. she just stood at her locker in nothing more than a zebra print bra and the gym shorts he had been wearing earlier that day.
Charlie chuckled and placed his hands on Adam's shoulders. "Look away before you get ticked, cause I'm not listening to it when we get home."
Adam walked up to Amore and placed a shirt lightly in front of her. She looked up at him and to Charlie's surprise put the shirt on with out a fuss.
"You coming Amore?" one of the guys asked as he held the door for a couple other team mates.
"Yeah, be right there Nick." Amore gabbed her things and put her arm around Adam's shoulders. when they walked up to Charlie she did the same with him. Together they all walked out of the locker room.
A few of the first string players watched the three with curiosity. the three freshman looked very close. some wondered how close they really where. especially when they found out the three of them lived together.
"So how long have you all known each other?" Nick asked putting an arm on the back of Amore's chair. he noticed Adam tence and smirked to himself. Apparently he didn't like other guys hanging around his friend.
"Well, I've known Banks since I was like what? Seven?" Amore asked and Adam nodded slightly. "Conway on the other hand I've known since I was twelve. then his mom married my step dad. so I sometimes claim him as a brother. but that is only when he's not being Captain Duckie."
"Amore, He's always Captain Duckie." Adam said with a roll of his eyes.
Amore ruffled up Charlie's hair. "Exactly my point."
Charlie smirked back at her. "yeah love you too sis."
a first string layer by the name of Tommy brought some drinks over and placed them in front of the three younger players. Adam smirked when he saw the drink was a beer. Amore's drink on the other hand was some kind of orange and red drink. she looked down at it them back at Tommy. they all knew she wasn't old enough to drink. but then again neither was Tommy. Amore was sure he had said he just turned twenty the month before.
"Don't be shy Amore, drink up." Nick said with a chuckle. Amore looked over at Charlie to see him take a drink of his beer. Adam was even drinking his. with a hesitant sigh she lifted the glass to her lips and took a small sip. the drink was sweet to the taste. but it burned a little on the way down. Amore had never drank before, except for a taste of champagne last year on New Years Eve. and even with her lack of drinking, she still knew that if you couldn't taste the alcohol, then those drinks could lead to trouble.
and sure enough it did. Charlie got the bright idea of inviting the first string boys over after they ate. and since almost every one of them lived in the dorms, they welcomed the idea with mischievous smirked. as Amore walked to her car the alcohol hit her fast. she stopped for a moment and rubbed her temples. she felt someone come up beside her and place a strong arm around her waist as he lead her to the car. she knew it was Adam. she knew he had been close behind her since they left the bar.
He opened the back door and helped her in then got in the drivers seat. Amore looked up at him confused. she hadn't even felt him take her car keys out of her back jeans pocket.
