Hailey

The night air hung thick over the cemetery, cool and damp against Hailey’s skin as she followed Roy and Ryan through the crooked iron gate. The place felt older than everything around it, like the town had grown around these graves but never dared disturb them.

Her heart thudded as she stepped carefully between the leaning headstones, her flashlight low, her fingers curled tight around the strap of her backpack.

Roy stopped at the edge of her mother’s grave and exhaled slowly, his voice dropping to a whisper as he told them they needed to dig fast. Ryan nodded and lowered the shovel into the soft, already disturbed soil.

Hailey crouched beside them, her breath fogging the beam of her light as every scrape of metal echoed too loudly. The ground shouldn’t have shifted this easily, and the thought that someone had been here before made her chest tighten. What exactly had her mother been hiding?

Roy murmured that they were halfway when a sharp beam of light swept across the ceme

  • Dear Ex Boyfriend, The Hot Hockey Captain is My New Date.   Chapter 31: Mischievous

    Hailey’s POVThe moment I excuse myself from the table. Roy gives me a slight nod and a kiss on my forehead , hiss eyes narrow slightly at Ryan, like he's trying to prove if his eyes are on me again. Roy's gaze isn't resentful, to my suprise. It's calm, like a man who knows what his brother wants too. I try to shove down the idea of having the both of them on me, the hot feel of their blazing touch, but I bury it so deep that the little angel that whispers good things in my ear is cheering and the little devil is busy frowning. I look back at lilly before disappearing into the hall, her cheerful gaze gives off something I know too way. She's definitely up to something, and I am going to find out.But my nerves down calm down from there, I hear Ryan's voice, excusing himself from the table."Oh shit..." I murmur under my breath.I pick up my pace, in hopes I'd successfully avoid that savage bad boy from catching up to me.I feel Ryan’s gaze burning into my back, but I ignore it an

  • Dear Ex Boyfriend, The Hot Hockey Captain is My New Date.   Chapter 30: Date Night

    Hailey’s POVA Few Days later Roy asked me out the moment school ended, my cheerleading practice had taken a tore out of me. His fingers brushed my waist, his voice low when he said he wanted to take me somewhere nice. My stomach fluttered, and I said yes before he even finished the sentence. I could tell he had been waiting all day to ask.But the moment Ryan found out, damn it ..Ryan’s reaction almost killed the moment.“You two are going out?” he asked, folding his arms like the question offended him.Roy gave him a slow grin. “Yeah. Got a problem?”Ryan didn’t blink. “None at all. Actually… great. Perfect.”I narrowed my eyes. Ryan never said anything was perfect. And he definitely didn’t sound pleased.Then he dropped the bomb. “Let’s make it a double date.”Roy’s brows shot up. “A double what?”I looked at Ryan, confused. “With who?”Ryan only shrugged. “Someone.”My heartbeat stuttered. Someone? He didn’t date. Ever. He barely talked to people. The idea of him casually showing

  • Dear Ex Boyfriend, The Hot Hockey Captain is My New Date.   Chapter 29: Her Lips

    Roy’s POVHailey’s lips were still warm from our last kiss when I leaned in again. She let out a soft breath that made my chest tighten. I cupped her face and kissed her deeply, slow at first, then harder when she pulled at my shirt and pressed closer. She kissed me back like she had been waiting for this, holding on to me as if the whole world around us didn’t exist.When we finally pulled apart, she rested her forehead against mine. Her lips were swollen, her breathing uneven, and I wanted to kiss her again.“Come home with me,” I said.She nodded.I drove her to the Williams mansion. The moment we stepped inside, Ryan looked up. His eyes went straight to Hailey’s mouth, then to my hand around her waist. His jaw tightened, but he didn’t speak.“You’re both here,” he said calmly. “Good. I have updates.”Hailey stepped a little closer to me. Ryan noticed. His expression tightened for a second before he forced it away.“I followed up on Brighton,” he said.Hailey swallowed. “What did y

  • Dear Ex Boyfriend, The Hot Hockey Captain is My New Date.   Chapter 28: In his arms

    Hailey's pov Roy pulled me closer across the console, his hand sliding around my waist with a hunger that made my breath catch. The entire parking lot was empty and quiet, the windows already fogging from the heat building between us. His thumb traced slow circles on my hip as if he had been waiting all day just to touch me. My heart hammered so fast I could feel it everywhere.He leaned in and his voice dropped. “Come here.”I moved onto his lap, straddling him carefully. His hands immediately gripped my thighs, warm and firm, pulling me flush against him. When our lips met, the kiss wasn’t gentle. It was deep and urgent, stealing every bit of air from my lungs. His fingers slid under my shirt, stroking the bare skin of my waist, and the warmth of his touch made my breath catch in my throat.Roy kissed me harder at the sound, one hand moving up my back, the other guiding my hips against him. The pressure of him beneath me sent a sharp jolt through my body. My hands tangled in his ha

  • Dear Ex Boyfriend, The Hot Hockey Captain is My New Date.   Chapter 27: The Message

    Hailey’s POVThe next dayCheerleading practice drained me completely. My legs felt heavy, my arms were tired, and sweat clung to my skin, but it felt good to move again. Madison kept watching me under her dark glasses, too afraid to let people see her mysterious black eye.I stayed behind to collect my things while the other girls walked out in groups, laughing and chatting.As I grabbed my bag from the bleachers, something caught my eye. A phone lay under the bench. I picked it up, planning to hand it to the lost and found. The screen lit up in my hand and the name on it made my stomach twist."This is Brighton's phone, did he drop it or something?" I asked myself.Before I could even react, the phone vibrated again and a new message flashed across the screen.Boss, we silenced another one. Should we target Miss Hailey tonight too?My hands turned cold. For a moment I could not breathe. My heart pounded fast, almost painful.They wanted to target me?Silence another one? My mind qui

  • Dear Ex Boyfriend, The Hot Hockey Captain is My New Date.   Chapter 26: Back to School

    Hailey’s POVThe ride back to town was quiet, filled with the hum of the engine and the occasional rustle of leaves outside. Roy sat beside me in the car, face tense, jaw set, fingers tapping lightly against his leg. I knew that look—focused, controlled, worried. The news from the school had come in: the holiday was cut short, and everyone had to report back immediately. It was disappointing for me, considering all we had uncovered, but I also knew we didn’t have a choice.Roy’s driver dropped me off in front of the school. “Good luck today, Hailey,” Roy murmured, leaning close, his hand brushing mine briefly before he stepped out to head to his team practice. His scent lingered, warm and familiar, and for a second I allowed myself to remember the stolen kisses, the lingering touches, and the complicated feelings swirling around him and his brother.I straightened my bag and took a deep breath before stepping inside. It didn’t take long for the first challenge of the day to arrive. Ma
