He makes me swoon, he's so adorable. I love how he is with Immi. Thanks so much for reading and supporting me xoxo
Cody I feel lost without her, like there’s a gaping hole in my heart. She fills me up, she fills the room up. Her presence is like a light going on in a dark room. I have no idea what to do with myself, I know I won’t sleep until she comes back to the room, safely to me. My mobile is on the bed, I turn the call volume up in case Immi calls or needs me for any reason. Ordinarily, I keep it in silent when I am with her because I get so many notifications from my I* account and X account, and haven’t gotten round to turning them off yet. I guess I could do that. There’s a knock on the door just as I have settled myself on the large king size bed. “Just a minute.” I yell out and place the mobile back on the bed. It takes all of six strides to get from the bed to the door. I open it and see Atlas standing in the middle of Calli and Nolan. “Hey, Bro.” Atlas says. “We thought you’d be at a loose end with Immi out tonight and decided we’d crash around your room for a couple of hours.” “Ok
Imogen This club/bar is really something else. We got picked up by the limo and a driver who calls himself Mikey Mike. Cute. Actually, he was such a sweetheart like a gentle giant with his bald head, gold hoop earring in his left ear and broad body but with the largest toothy grin you could possibly imagine. He held the door open for us and made sure Autumn and I were comfortable before driving off. Mikey Mike pointed out there was champagne on ice and some snacks if we fancied them. Did we? Of course, absolutely. We had a couple of quick glasses of the pink fizzy drink before we arrived at the club which it turns out was only a twenty-minute drive. So? We drank it quickly we’re girls on a night out that haven’t seen each other for a while. I just need to remember that if I get a bit squiffy to try not to wake Cody up if he’s asleep when I get back in. I doubt he’ll sleep I know he’s going to be worrying that some sleazeball is going to try and pick me up. I’ve got Autumn with me, a
CodyI can hear her outside the door fumbling with the key fob. The boys left about thirty minutes ago. I beat them at Call of Duty. Of course I did but it was close against Nolan. Man, he’s so good at that game. It was a fun night, chilled out, just us guys. We’ve not had any quality time like that for a while and you know what, I think I needed it.Not that I didn’t miss Immi, I couldn’t stop thinking about her and if anyone would be trying it on in the club. I know I put a security detail on her because well, I’m not taking any chances. Listen, I know what your average guy can be like, but those with money. Well, safe to say they can be absolute pricks because they think they can literally have anything they want. I know. I used to be one of them.Thank God I’ve met Immi and we’re dating because that guy I used to be like, I’m pleased I am not him anymore. It makes me realize how much I wanted to have this feeling of love and a bursting heart for someone.The door swings open and I
Imogen My mouth feels disgusting, dry and ugh, there is a horrible taste. I need to brush my teeth pronto. I stir in the bed and yes, I have a headache. That’ll be mixing the cocktails with the champagne and drinking too quickly last night. It was fun though; Autumn and I had a blast and it was so good to spend time with her again. I realize we’re moving on to the next chapter with our lives and things are going to change. She’ll become the new VP in her org and I’ll be spending my time between starting up my new business and trying to coordinate my time between wherever Cody happens to be on the road and Minnesota. Reaching for the other side of the bed I can feel it is empty. I remember now that he had to leave for practice and gym sessions at six and was up around five-ish. From memory he should be back at the hotel around lunch time to go out with me for something nice to eat and then he will get some sleep and rest in before the game tonight. Mm, resting. Now I need to behave
CodyMy mind isn’t on practice. It’s on how Immi looked last night when she came in wearing that ever-so-short sequined dress of hers, those long colt-like legs and the way they’d feel wrapped around my waist right now. I’m sweating from doing so many drills and my legs are aching.Seriously, what is going on with coach? We all need a break. I have drunk so much water that all I feel like doing is going for a pee.“Right guys. That’s a wrap. Get yourselves showered and back to the hotel. I want you all rested and ready to go for tonight’s game. This one is important. I don’t need to tell you that already. It’s either we win and go through or we’re out. You’ve got this.” He skates off and goes to speak with our manager who is present for this game. He couldn’t make it to the Dallas game, some family emergency. I sure hope everything is alright back home with his wife and two kids.Atlas slaps me on the back. “That means no having sex, Bro.” I chuckle.“Well, what can I say?”“Hey guys
Imogen I cannot wait until after the gam tonight, my entire body is literally aching to feel Cody again. He’s so addictive and I simply can’t get enough of him. What I’m going to do when he is drafted to Dallas is anyone’s guess. I have mused with the idea of going with him and maybe opening something there. However, Autumn did point out that it was only for two years and did I really want to start a new business only to have to sell it again and come back to Minnesota? It’s so up in the air because it really is anyone’s guess where Cody and Atlas will end up in two years. Just because they say they can come back to Minnesota, doesn’t mean that they will. NHL draft where they draft and there’s no way around that. So, in all honesty, my best bet is to sit it out back home and wait for the two years to pass and hope that he and I can sustain this. I mean it’s not impossible, but it’s sure going to be tough. I’ll miss him like crazy and I know he’s not over the moon about it either. W
CodyThe crowd is going wild, we can hear them from the locker rooms. We’re in our gear and ready to go. My nerves are tingling with excitement and anticipation. I love game night, like it’s part of my DNA. It’s all I’ve ever wanted since I was a kid. And here I am now about to go on the rink and play for the Stanley Cup plays offs. I don’t why this one means more to me than when we were in Dallas. I mean, you’d think playing against the team I am being drafted to would count a whole lot more. But here in Vancouver my adrenaline is pumping. Hell, we’re all over excited like pups going out for a walk.Coach comes to the center of our locker room, I have to give it to the home team they do have a nice space. The lockers aren’t your average metal ones, they’re all pine wood, the floors are non-slip tiles, and the showers are spacious. We sure have good space back home, but this looks like it’s just had some kind of face lift.“You’ve got this guys. Our stats are good, in fact they’re imp
ImogenThe sight of him with his broad shoulders in all his padding makes my heart flutter. Damn he is so sexy. It’s criminal. “You sure have got it bad.” Autumn says as she sips on her diet coke through a straw. She slurps. It’s funny, every time we have cold drinks with straws, she does this. Even when we’re having cocktails. It’s her adorable little thing, for some people, it’d bug them, but you know it’s Autumn and she is my bestie so pretty much anything goes.“I know. It’s so bad, right? And in such a short space of time. I’m not looking forward to him being in Dallas whilst I’m stuck in Minni.” I say and take a sip of my cappuccino. It’s so frothy and creamy and tastes like heaven.“I can see that. But you guys will manage to see each other regular. And look, when your business starts off, you can hire a couple of students to look after the tables and get yourself a chef in for part time.”“Yeah, I know. I’m guessing my dad or my mom will help out a lot. Like, if I want to be
