Alex

Okay, why am I so nervous? Jeez. It’s just a journalist not my favorite type of person so why the heck have I gone round after my cleaning lady to do another hoover of the floors and cleaning them. So weird, right? I’ve fluffed up the scatter cushions on the sofa at least ten times, me being domesticated. It’s a joke. I am the least person who will ever be domesticated and yet here I am having whizzed the hoover round again, mopped the floors and preening the cushions.

I ordered flowers in for the guest bedroom for Madison Lane and an extra bunch for the dining room table. Pale blush roses, I hear that they’re an easy color if you’re not sure what color to go for. Hopefully, Madison Lane has no allergies to flowers or specifically roses. Am I sweating? Shit. I never sweat not even before a big game. I hope I’m not turning into a big woos.

“All good?” My best friend Shane asks. He and I have known each other since we were kids. Our folks have always lived next door to each other,

    Alex - 19 years later “Can you see that, is he about to kiss her? I’m not having no guy groping our daughter outside in front of my goddamn eyes.” I am watching Anastacia with her arms round some guy’s neck and my blood pressure is hitting an all-time high.“Calm down, Alex, honestly she’s eighteen, she is going to have boyfriends.”“His tongue is practically at her tonsils.” I move away from the island and start to go towards the kitchen door.“Hey, not so quick, Mr Stone. Let her be. You can grill him when he comes in with her and please be Mr Nice. Okay, this is her first boyfriend she’s bringing home to dinner.” I watch as Madi takes the turkey out and bastes it. Damn it smells so good.I notice how pert her ass is still from all her running and Pilates. I want to go run my hand along it and give her a good slap, only I know I’ll get a raging hard on and want to fuck her. Still after all these years I am obsessed with Madi. She has grown into a beautiful woman and still just in he

    Madison – A year and a half laterI swear to God, looking at Alex holding Anastasia out on the rink having just won his game makes me pool in my seat. The other hockey wives and girlfriends are smiling on as Alex holds her in his arms and the crowd is going wild. Not just because the team have won their home game but because our little girl is gurgling away in his arms. It's hard to believe that Stasia is now ten months old. She's been an absolute joy to our lives and watching Alex with his baby girl is the cutest thing ever. If anyone had of told me what two years or so ago, when I stood on his doorstep for the first time that I'd be in a VIP area watching him holding a baby in his arms and our baby, I'd have laughed in their face.She's wearing cute white tights with pink hearts on them, a tulle pink skirt and a faux fur jacket in cream with a sweet band around her head to match her tights. She is loving the attention; he lowers his head to kiss the top of her head and she looks up

    MadisonI can hear voices, I feel strange, and I am in so much pain all over my body and my head hurts like crazy. Why does it feel so hard to open my eyes? What the hell is going on? Where am I?There’s something warm and calloused holding my hand, I struggle to open my eyes, but I can definitely hear voices. Is that my mother’s voice? And Henri’s? I try my darndest to move my fingers, but it feels like such an effort. Now I’m just frightened, something has happened to me, and I have no idea what.I try again, then I feel a squeeze back, “Madi, Madi. Are you awake, talk to me Petal.” I know that low voice, it’s Alex. My eyes flutter but God they feel so weighted down that I still struggle. “Madi, darling open your eyes if you can. Or if you can hear me beautiful, move your fingers.”Okay that I can do, I move my fingers and I hear crying. I hear my momma’s voice. “Is she awake? Has she finally woken? Oh my gosh, we need to get a doctor in here quickly. Henri, please run out and let so

    AlexIt’s getting late, my arm has gone numb as I lean my head on it. I feel like drifting off to sleep but I’m not going to do that, not when Madi could wake up at any second.Her mother, father and Henri came back in and stayed for a while. It was good to finally meet them, but honestly, I wish too, that it was under different circumstances.“You thinking of staying in the game?” Her father had asked me, I am pretty sure his eyes were glowering. “Dangerous sport, Son.”“It can be, Sir. I’ve had my fair share of knocks, bruises and breakages. I’ve transferred to Austin so I can be with Madi. It’s all just gone through.” He seemed pleased with that. I kind of got the feeling he was putting feelers out for how exactly it would work with Madi and I being engaged and me still being in Colorado. At least I think I managed to appease him. He looks like a pretty tough nut to crack.So would I be if Madi was my daughter, hell when we have kids one day because I will remain hopeful, that Madi

    AlexI’ve just landed and turned my mobile on. Man, it’s firing away and going crazy. What the fuck? I check the messages and see numerous calls from an Austin number. I don’t recognize it. Why would I? The only numbers I know from Austin are Madi’s and my new coach and manager.There are five voice mails, phew somebody wants to get hold of me pretty damn bad. My driver takes my bag from me and slings it in the trunk then opens the door for me, once I’m outside. “Thanks,” I say and throw myself in the back of the car.I listen to the first voice message.“Hi, this is Madison Lane’s mom, your number is stored in her phone. We’ve not met yet but I know she’s dating you. Alex, you need to come to the hospital straight away. There’s been an accident.”What the hell? Shit, Madi, hospital. “Take me straight to the hospital please. How long will that take? I need to get there like yesterday.”“Absolutely, Alex. We’re half an hour away.”“Half an hour, put your foot down.” I’ll have a seizure

    Madison“I’m so excited, I’m so excited,” I sing along to myself as I finish cleaning before Alex arrives. Everything is zinging away inside my body including my lady flower. It’s only been a couple of nights, but you know, I just can’t wait to see him.I’m about to head over to the house viewing and meeting the realtor lady, Helena in just an hour’s time. Things seem to be going in the right direction and I have to admit, the fact that Alex has decided to leave Colorado for Austin has got my heart racing. I can’t wait for him to tell me all about his conversation with Levy and coach. I kinda feel sad in a way for coach because I know Alex has been with him since after high school. But Levy, well he can go do one. That man has been a bain in my life ever since he knew, Alex and I were going serious.I can’t even begin to imagine how amazing our lives are going to be with him based here in Austin. I twirl around singing into the wooden spoon now in my hand, I’m preparing his favorite me
