Against The Ice Coffee With Evan
Chapter Seventeen — Coffee With EvanBeck spent most of Friday morning pretending he hadn't read Evan's message.He had read it at least twelve times.Still up for coffee sometime?It was a simple question. A normal question. The kind of message people sent when they wanted to get to know someone better.There was no reason to make it complicated.He typed a reply.Sure. When?He read it, deleted it, and typed again.Yeah, I'd like that. Are you free this afternoon?He sent it before he could change his mind.A few seconds later, Evan replied.I'm free after two. There's a little café near the library. Meet you there?Beck smiled.Sounds good.He put his phone away and finally got out of bed.This was fine. It was more than fine. He was allowed to meet people. He was allowed to go on dates, even if this wasn't technically a date yet.And, most importantly, he was allowed to stop thinking about Aitor Valdez.That last part was proving to be considerably harder.The café was busy when
Against The Ice Looking Away
CHAPTER SIXTEEN — LOOKING AWAYBeck had just finished changing into his gear and was about to put on his shoes.Aitor walked in and headed toward his locker. Beck kept his head low while he could hear the movements of Aitor getting ready.He decided to look and, for a moment, got lost.Aitor was changing for practice, and Beck suddenly became far too aware of him. He immediately swallowed and looked away, wondering why his attention had wandered there in the first place.Then Aitor stopped moving.Beck's stomach dropped.He knew that look.Aitor had noticed.“You okay?” Aitor asked.Beck concentrated on his shoes.“Yeah.”Aitor waited.“You sure?”“I’m fine.”Aitor continued getting ready, but Beck could feel his attention lingering on him.The silence became uncomfortable.Beck suddenly became fascinated with the laces on his shoes.He pulled one tighter.Then the other.Then he untied one and tied it again.Aitor finally spoke.“You’ve tied that shoe three times.”Beck froze.“No, I
Against The Ice The ride
Chapter Fifteen — The RideMonday morning started badly.By eight-thirty, Beck was already having the kind of day he wanted to forget.His first class had run over.He'd forgotten his notes in the dorm.And now, standing in the Northwood parking lot, he was staring at his mother's old car.The hood was up.Steam drifted from underneath it.Beck stared.“You have got to be kidding me.”He checked the time.8:47.Practice started in less than an hour.He pulled out his phone and called his mother.She answered almost immediately.“Everything okay?”“My car just died.”There was a pause.“Oh, no.”“Yeah. I'm kind of stranded.”“I told you that car was getting old.”“I know.”“I'll send you some money for a mechanic.”“Thanks, Mom.”Beck hung up and looked at the car again.A mechanic wasn't going to get there quickly enough.He sighed.Then he heard an engine approaching.Not an ordinary engine.A very expensive engine.A black Rolls-Royce pulled into the parking lot and stopped beside h
Against The Ice The Party
Chapter Fourteen — The PartyBy Friday night, Beck had almost convinced himself that college was getting easier.Practice had gone well.His classes weren't overwhelming.And, surprisingly, he and Aitor had managed to survive an entire week as teammates without killing each other.Then Mason sent him a message.Mason: Party tonight. You're coming.Beck stared at the screen.Beck: Who said I was invited?Mason: Everyone is invited.Beck: That's not an answer.Mason: Wear something that doesn't make you look like you're going to practice.Beck laughed.Twenty minutes later, he was getting ready.The party was already loud when Beck and Mason arrived.Music filled the house, people crowded around the kitchen, and students were scattered across the living room and backyard.Beck immediately spotted several Northwood players.Then he saw Aitor.Of course.Aitor was standing near the kitchen with two teammates, looking completely comfortable.Beck shook his head.“Does he ever go anywhere w
Against The Ice Same Jersey
Chapter Thirteen — Same JerseyThe next morning, Beck walked into the Northwood Hockey Centre with one goal.Do his job.Practice.Keep his head down.And, most importantly, avoid Aitor.Simple.At least, that was the plan.The moment Beck stepped into the locker room, he knew it wasn't going to happen.Aitor was already there.Of course.He stood at his locker, tying his skates while music played quietly from his phone.Beck dropped his bag beside locker twelve.“Morning.”Aitor glanced at him.“Didn't think you'd show up.”Beck frowned.“Why wouldn't I?”“After yesterday?”Beck laughed.“You're not getting rid of me that easily.”“Unfortunately.”Beck sat down.“Good. Because I plan on making your life difficult for at least the next four years.”Aitor looked at him.“Four years?”“Unless you quit.”Aitor smirked.“Not happening.”“Good.”For some reason, neither of them looked away immediately.Then Coach walked into the locker room.“On the ice in five!”The entire room came alive
Against The Ice Nowhere To Run
Chapter Twelve — Nowhere to RunFor the first five minutes, neither of them spoke.Beck sat on one of the benches, staring at the locked door as if glaring at it hard enough would somehow make it open.Aitor stood with his arms crossed.“This is ridiculous.”Beck glanced at him.“You've said that three times.”“Because it is.”“Well, repeating it isn't going to unlock the door.”Aitor gave him a look.“You're surprisingly annoying when you're trapped.”“I'm always annoying.”“At least you're self-aware.”Beck rolled his eyes.He checked his phone again.Still no signal.“Someone's going to notice we're missing.”“Eventually.”“Eventually?”Aitor shrugged.“The team probably thinks we left.”Beck groaned.“Great.”He stood and tried the handle again.Nothing.He knocked.“HELLO?”His voice echoed through the empty locker room.Nothing.Beck turned around.“I swear, if we miss practice because somebody forgot to check the locker room…”“That would be your fault.”“My fault?”“You were t
