Cody WTF, I’ve just glanced up to the box don’t ask my why. It is a habit having had Immi at my games and searching out her amazing smile and the way she claps when I score and waves that cute damn wave of hers. Only, I’m seeing Luna standing up clapping as I scored the last goal, I say I couldn’t do this on my own. I rely heavily on my wingmen and on Atlas to help get the goal set up. But that woman is jumping up and down and is she wearing my jersey? Holy fucking shit, she is wearing my jersey. That woman has no right, absolutely no damn right to be wearing anything that is remotely connected to and what is she holding. Someone drown me right now. There is a camera practically in her face as she waves something around in the air. “Fuck, Man. Are you seeing this?” Atlas says as he skates towards me. I nod, seething. “She’s going to be on every tv screen in the US. Immi will be watching; it’s going to kill her.” He says. Like I don’t know that already only I’m miles away from the g
Imogen“Oh, Immi they’ve won isn’t that amazing and they’re saying that Cody is a record breaker and will go in the Hall of Fame. That’s marvellous.” My mom is saying, whilst my dad claps away. Of course he is ecstatic, his son, my brother, Atlas has done good too.And whereas I really want to be overjoyed for them, which of course I am, truly I am. A part of me is hurting so bad seeing Luna in the box and holding up a tiny baby grow thing that matches Cody’s jersey. It sickens me to my stomach that she is there. I feel like I could easily vomit, and beads of sweat are on my forehead.“Are you okay, honey you look as pale as a ghost?” Mom asks and touches my head. “You’re all warm, Immi what’s wrong.” Concern evident in her voice.“Nothing, nothing. I’m fine.” Did they not both just see the camera on Luna’s face and the whole spectacle for the world to see? Or are they trying to ignore it? I mean, after all they have no idea that I am back with Cody at the moment.And who invited her
ImogenI lay on my bed now changed into my yellow pajamas with daisies on them, they’re my go2 and comfort pjs. I settle back under the duvet resting on the pillows behind me and dare to look at my mobile with my heart in my mouth. Least ways, that is how it feels. My mouth is dry, and my stomach is churning. It’s the dread of not knowing what he is going to have to say that has prevented me from checking as soon as I got to my room.Oh, no. Instead, I brushed my teeth, brushed my hair, and got changed and now and only now, do I have the mobile in front of me. I’m scared in case he tells me that he is going to go with Luna and be one big happy family, I’m scared of how I will feel if this is the case. Damn it, I have no choice I need to read them. The fact that he walked away from the interview tells me he is desperate to get hold of me.I press in my code to unlock my mobile and start to read.Hey darlin’ how are you doing? I guess not so great. I know you were watching the game at h
Cody “You can’t just walk off an interview like that. What the hell are you thinking?” Coach is not happy with me. “You are the top of your game; you need to handle yourself with more professionalism. I want an explanation. For Christ’s sake, you just won the semi-finals, you’re in the history books for your plays, what has got into you?” I huff and fold my arms in front of my chest. “Luna is what’s gotten into me. I want to know why she was here and why she was in the private area without anyone telling me or even asking me. What kind of shit show is this?” I am fuming. Of course I am. At least I have messaged with Immi and from the sound of it, we are still good. Just, I should imagine, because my heart is on thin strings knowing that she could easily break. Afterall, this is the reason she called it quits in the first place. And I cannot lose her again. If it means I have to walk away, then that is precisely what I will do. Nothing is coming between her and I. Listen, I swear to G
Imogen I’m standing in the flat above the restaurant, it looks amazing with freshly painted walls, my bookcase up and some furniture I found with dad at the local thrift store. I’ve opted for a bohemian look and am so in love with my new space, in particular the patchwork look two-seater sofa and matching chair. Throwing myself down on it, I smile. Yes, the whole darn business with Luna at the rink is still at the forefront of my mind and the worry that Cody will change his mind but right now, I’m too ecstatic about having my own place finally, to even let that disturb me. That and Cody is coming back home later today. I’ve already told my folks that I am staying over at my apartment from tonight. Dad is brining my already packed clothes over and I’ve been bringing my vast collection of books over each time I came to do work at the restaurant and the apartment. I am looking forward to sorting them all out, they’ve been in boxes far too long since I left New York and I’ll also be bri
Cody Can’t this damn plane go any faster? I am eager to see Immi and also, I need to get to her before anyone starts mouthing off about me having to be friendly with Luna. My manager has spoken to her already, he placed a call in early this morning to let her know I was prepared to meet up. The last thing I need is for Luna to post something out and for Immi to see it first. It’ll literally kill her. Have I got high anxiety? You bet I have. My knees are bouncing up and down, the guys are quiet around me, they know. I told them last night when we were out at the restaurant. I left soon after the meal, they all went and hit a club, Atlas didn’t go with them, he wanted to get back to his hotel room to speak with Fallon. They’ve managed to keep their relationship going long-distance for over three years now. I am hoping that Immi and I can last the two years that I’ll be away in Dallas and with a manic schedule of traveling between games. “You okay, Man? You’re nervous as hell.” Atlas
ImogenI hear a knock on the door downstairs, I’m finally up in my apartment above the restaurant snuggled up on the sofa with a book, my new little addition who still remains nameless, I call him kitten for now. He is adorable all snuggled on my lap purring away.I place kitten down on the other part of the sofa and make my way downstairs. I have butterflies in my stomach knowing the only person it could possibly be is Cody. I’ve waited all day to be able to see him and have showered, put on some hot pink, lacey lingerie in anticipation for a night of unbridled passion. Okay, I’m not going to lie I already feel damp just thinking about the things he is going to do to me tonight.I rush down the stairs, unbolt and unlock the door and swing it open. He takes my breath away as he stands there filling up the doorway with his broad shoulders. His unshaven face and dark circles under his eyes do not deter from how handsome this man is. I throw my arms around his neck as he lowers his head
Cody Her fragrance and smell intoxicate me as I hold her close waiting for her breathing to regulate before I really take her wildly and passionately. The last almost forty-eight hours without her have been torture, how the fuck am I going to cope when I finally go to Dallas?. Okay, let’s not think about that right now. It’ll be a sure-fire way to dampen my boner. I feel Immi’s fingers trailing delicately down my chest and stomach, they cause me to flutter as my dick twitches. Not going to lie, the fucker is aching. ACHING. She plants tender kisses down my chest and sucks on one of my nipples. I’ve never really been a guy who likes his nipples being teased but fuck me, when Immi’s mouth is clasped over them it is an entirely different sensation. My body is on fire, it zings all over the place as she licks my nipple and bites gently on it. “Harder, darlin’.” I tell her wanting to experience the delight of pain and pleasure. WTF, I don’t usually go in for that kind of thing, but Immi
