Ivy

I followed him to the elevator in stunned silence.

The doors slid shut, trapping us in the confined space. The hum of the elevator filled the silence between us.

After a moment, Asher spoke.

“You can have the bed.”

I looked at him suspiciously.

“I’ll take the floor.”

I snorted.

“How chivalrous.”

A crooked smile tugged at his lips.

He took one slow step toward me, close enough that I could catch the clean scent of his cologne. His eyes held mine, amusement dancing in them.

“Relax, CeeCee.”

    Jennie“You all can go back without me,” I said before I could stop myself.The head counter turned towards me, looking slightly confused.“What do you mean by you’ll stay behind? For what?”“I have something really important to take care of here.”He stared at me for a moment before shaking his head.“Hmm, Jennie. That’s really up to you, but you should know that Ivy was the only one whose transportation was arranged separately because of her reassignment. Everyone else is expected to return with us. If you decide to stay, that’s out of my hands.”“I understand. I can always call my driver to come pick me up.”He looked at me as though he wanted to ask more questions, but eventually shrugged.“Fine. Just make sure you inform the school if your plans change. We can’t be held responsible for your transportation.”“I will.”He nodded and turned back to the others, instructing everyone to settle down while he completed the final headcount.I remained standing outside the bus,

    JennieI stared at my phone for what felt like the hundredth time.Still nothing.I scrolled back to the message I’d sent Asher the previous night.Where are you? I’ve been looking all over for you. I thought I’d see you before heading back to school early tomorrow morning. Call me immediately when you get this.He hadn’t replied.Not even a single word.And that wasn’t all. He hadn’t come out to see me that morning either. I’d waited, hoping he’d show up before the team left, but he never did.Could he really be that tired?Perhaps he was still sleeping.I glanced towards the hotel entrance through the bus window, my fingers tightening around my phone.It wasn’t like Asher to ignore me completely. Even when he was busy, he’d usually find a moment to respond. So why was he suddenly acting as though I didn’t exist?My thoughts were interrupted by the voice of the person conducting the headcount.“Ivy Hart?”Silence.The man looked down at his list and called again.“Ivy

  • Skating Into Sin: Fake Dating My Hockey Bully   Chapter 37

    Ivy I read the email for the fourth time, hoping the words would somehow change, but they didn’t. Due to immediate postseason media requirements, embedded media staff member Ivy Hart has been reassigned to travel exclusively with the hockey team for the remainder of the championship press tour. I dropped my phone onto the bed. “You have got to be kidding me.” I had done my part. A volunteer couldn’t attend the tournament, so I’d stepped in to cover their assignment. It was supposed to be temporary, something I could complete, collect two points for, and then return to campus. The committee had taken five points away from the total I needed following the scandal with Asher. I’d planned to return to school, catch up on my coursework and find another opportunity to earn the remaining three. It wasn’t an ideal situation, but at least I had a plan. Now, apparently, someone had decided to rewrite it for me. I picked up my phone and checked the email again. There was no men

    AsherThe bell above the diner door jingled violently as Ivy rushed out, followed by the heavy slam of the glass door.And just like that, she was gone.I sat frozen in the vinyl booth, my hand gripping the edge of the table so tightly my knuckles had turned white. Her last words kept replaying in my head.I’d appreciate it if we both just went back to being strangers.“Ivy,” I muttered, finally sliding out of the booth.Pain shot through my left shoulder as I pushed away from the table. My bandaged wrist throbbed, but I ignored it. I shoved my good hand into my jacket pocket, pushed the seat back, and headed for the exit.“Hey! Pal!”The waitress popped her head out from behind the counter, holding a handwritten slip.“Who’s paying for the coffee?”I pulled a twenty from my pocket and dropped it on the counter without looking at her before pushing through the heavy glass door.The cold night air hit my face.The street was mostly empty, illuminated by the orange glow of d

    Ivy After walking for about fifteen minutes, we ended up at a twenty-four-hour diner three blocks down from the hotel. It was quiet, lit by the harsh, humming glow of fluorescent overhead tubes and smelling faintly of stale coffee and grilled grease. A tired-looking waitress dropped two cracked mugs of coffee on our sticky laminate table, slapped a plastic menu down, and vanished back behind the counter without a word. Across the small booth, Asher sat with his left forearm resting carefully on the table, the stark white athletic bandage looking entirely out of place against the diner's chipped red vinyl seats. He looked exhausted. The championship adrenaline had finally burned out, leaving behind the heavy toll of a brutal game and a battered body. Yet his eyes hadn't left me since we sat down. I stared into my steaming mug, tracing the rim with my thumb, knowing I needed to speak first. Before I could deliver the speech about ending our fake relationship, I remembered what

    IvyThe arena was almost empty.A few hours ago, it had been overflowing with people. The stands had been packed, the crowd deafening, and the entire place had erupted when the final horn sounded.Northbridge had won the National Championship. Again.Now, the roar of the crowd had faded into the dull, rhythmic clatter of staff members dismantling equipment, rolling up cables, and packing away the last remnants of the tournament. Most of the players and guests had already left. Only a handful of staff members remained, checking equipment lists and wrapping up their final reports.My hands moved mechanically as I unzipped my camera bag and carefully slid my lenses into their padded compartments. My mind, however, was nowhere near my equipment.It was stuck on him.A smile crept across my face as I glanced down at the photograph glowing on my camera screen. It was one of my favourites from the final game. Asher stood at the centre of the celebration, his teammates crowding around

    The silence that followed Asher’s words was worse than laughter.I stood frozen at the entrance of the hockey club while twenty pairs of eyes bounced between us. Nobody spoke. Nobody moved. Everyone seemed to be waiting for an explanation.For a moment, I foolishly hoped he had changed. Two years h

    The acceptance email had been sitting in my inbox for exactly twelve minutes and thirty-seven seconds.Not that I was counting.My hands shook so badly I nearly dropped my phone while crossing the crowded university courtyard. One word stared back at me.Congratulations.It had taken two years of c

    Chapter 5: The HeroThe sick bay smelled like antiseptic and stale coffee. Asher carried me straight through the doors like some tragic hero from a romance movie, my wet clothes dripping all over the floor. The nurse on duty jumped up from her desk, eyes wide.“What happened?” she asked, rushing ov

    I couldn’t sleep.I tossed and turned on my narrow dorm bed, the sheets twisting around my legs like restraints. Every time I closed my eyes, Asher’s face appeared — that split-second hesitation in the VIP room, followed by the cruel smirk as he shoved me out. Would he keep my secret? Or was he alr
