Romance In The Hockey Pitch Practice
Last night, he had said the words. “ I love you.” I had said them back. I blushed."Jax," I whispered, shaking his shoulder gently. "Hey. It’s time."He groaned, burying his face in my neck. "Jax, seriously. If we aren't at the rink by six, Coach is going to have our heads. And we can't walk in together."Jax opened one eye, his hair a mess. He looked sexy.“I hate 6:00 AM," he muttered. "And I hate that we have to do this.""Me too," I said, leaning down to give him one last kiss. "Go. Use the back stairs. I’ll leave ten minutes after you."Watching him leave my room felt like losing a limb. I dressed quickly, pulling on my Northwood track suit. When I walked into the locker room, the smell of coffee and laundry hit me. Jax was already there. He was sitting in his stall, staring at the floor, his headphones on. Swiss was loud as usual, even this early. "Yo, Simpson! You see the footage from the East Central game? That back-pass was insane. I watched it five times last night.""I
Romance In The Hockey Pitch Caution
The air in the bedroom was so still it felt heavy. After the chaos of the steakhouse and the suffocating ride back, the silence of the room was loud. The only light coming from the moon was casting long shadows across the rug.Jax was sitting on the edge of the bed, his head down, his hands resting on his knees. He hadn't taken his hoodie off yet. I stood by the window, watching the way his chest rose and fell. "You shouldn't have done that," Jax said. "Done what?" I asked, though I knew."The napkin. The leg. The look." Jax finally looked up."You almost blew it, Liam.”I walked away from the window, stopping a few feet from him. "I wasn’t thinking Jax. I am sorry. I just saw you were uncomfortable. I just wanted to help.""That’s the problem!" Jax stood up suddenly, pacing the small space between the bed and the desk. "You aren't supposed to care. We had a deal. We were getting it out of our systems. It was supposed to be physical. It was supposed to be easy.""Easy?" I laughed, b
Romance In The Hockey Pitch The Steak House
The ride to the steakhouse was the longest fifteen minutes of my life. I drove my car, and Jax sat in the passenger seat, staring out the window at the passing streetlights. The heater was on, but I couldn't stop shivering."You're shaking, Liam," Jax said softly. "I'm fine," I lied. I gripped the steering wheel until my knuckles turned white. "We just have to act like we do at practice. Professional. Competitive. A little bit annoyed with each other.""I can do annoyed," Jax muttered, but his voice lacked its usual bite. "I'm just not sure I can do a Simpson dinner level of fake though."We pulled up to the valet. The steakhouse was the kind of place where the waiters wore white gloves and the bill for one meal could pay Jax’s rent for a month. We were led to a private booth in the back, far away from the main dining room. My father was already there. He was sipping a glass of red wine, looking at his watch. When he saw us, he stood up. He looked perfect; not a hair out of place, h

"We have to be normal," I whispered to Jax the next morning. We were standing by the vending machines, pretending to argue about which protein bar was better.Jax didn't look at me. He was staring at the glass. "Normal? Liam, normal for us is fighting. If we start acting like friends now, it’ll look even more suspicious.""No," I said, finally grabbing a bar. "Normal means being teammates. We need to hang out with the guys. Together. If we are in a group, the two people in the shed won't look like us."Jax sighed, finally meeting my eyes for a split second. "Fine. But I hate this."That night, for the first time in weeks, we went to Toby’s dorm for a team movie night. The room was packed with hockey players, pizza boxes, and loud laughter. I sat on the floor near the door, and Jax sat on the far end of the couch.It was working and everything was going well. But then, Swiss sat down next to Jax. He was hyped up from the win earlier that week and kept talking about Jax's last goal."I'
Romance In The Hockey Pitch The New Rhythm
The next two weeks were the most perfect I’ve ever had since I joined the team. On the ice, we were better than ever. It was like we had a telepathic connection. I would flip a pass toward the corner without even looking, and Jax would be right there to catch it. The crowd loved it. Coach Mike was thrilled. He kept saying that moving me to the room with Jax was the best thing he has ever done for my focus.If only he knew that my focus was entirely on the boy wearing the opposite jersey during practice.********Monday morning practice was intense. We were running a fast break drill. I was flying down the left side, and Jax was trailing behind. Without slowing down, I dropped the puck between my legs and left it in the open ice. Jax picked it up in one smooth motion and fired it into the top corner of the net.The sound of the puck hitting the twine was like music."Beautiful!" Coach Mike shouted, clapping his hands. "That’s the chemistry I want to see! Simpson, Miller, you two are pl
Romance In The Hockey Pitch The Secret Arrangement
The morning breeze was very cold. We both were up early but we barely spoke to each other. It felt like we were strangers again. I tried to focus on my books, but all I could see was Jax’s back. He hadn't looked at me once.After last night, I thought I could go back to my old life. But life had other plans.I was sitting at the desk when the door opened. It wasn’t Toby. It wasn’t a teammate.It was my father.He wasn't alone. Two men in suits stood behind him. They were holding empty cardboard boxes. My father looked around our messy room with a look of disgust. His eyes stopped on Jax, who was sitting on his bed."Get your things, Liam," my father said. His voice was like ice. "The car is downstairs. You are moving to the athletic dorms right now."I stood up, my heart racing. "Dad, I told you I wasn't moving.""And I told you that I pay the bills," he snapped. He looked at Jax. "I spoke to the Dean. This room is no longer yours. You have ten minutes to pack your clothes, or these m
