ログインMaren’s pov It was as if my life came to an end when I saw Dylan who held onto my arm. He looked unkept and sick, there was so much anger, hatred in his eyes.The day went on to be more bad after going through an embarrassing, heartbreaking day.I looked down at bruised wrists, I can still feel his grip on me. I wondered what would have happened to me if Mrs Winston wasn't there, I stared at the wall blankly.I felt numb, I couldn't even believe what Gideon had to say it was Dylan all over again.The door to my apartment opened, Rylee entered. “Maren” I heard her call, I turned to her with a smile. “I called your phone” “I lost it” I said, “Dylan came and he…” the words couldn't come out, I started to remember all the foul words he said.“Sh*t” She cursed as she joined me on the floor, “Oh dear” she puts her arms around me. My head was on her shoulder, “Don't I deserve to be happy, why did…why do I have to be the second choice?” “You're not a second choice,” Rylee said trying to
Gideon's pov “So tell me about the lady in your room that night, is he the one you were hooking up with?” I asked Jaxon, putting my arms around him as we walked out of the headquarters.He had refused to say anything, “For God sake Gideon drop it, we just met casually and it is not something special” Jaxon said,I laughed, “So she is not the one who you went to?”“Yes, In fact I have many flings” Jaxon said, closing his eyes. I knew he just wanted me to stop questioning him.“Mannn, You're getting wild” I shook him,“Shut up,” he laughed, “Go on and enjoy you date with your girlfriend” “Nah, not until you tell who and their names” I teased, He turned to me and glared.“Go home”Jaxon said, removing my arm from his neck and he pushed me from him.“One day, just one day I will find out” I said to him and he flipped me the middle finger. I glanced at my wrist watch, “I have to go now,” I said, the flowers should be ready now.“Get going,” Jaxon said, pushing me towards my car.When we
Maren's pov“I am not ready to talk to him…maybe soon” I said to Abel as I made my way into Gideon's penthouse with bags filled with groceries on my left hand and my right hand holding my phone and clutching my overnight bag.“Maren, Give him a chance to talk please” Abel said, I shut my eyes close. “I know you feel wrong but still you need…” Abel tried to convince me but I cut him off.“It's not that I don't want to talk to Silas, I am just not ready to talk about the…Woman” I let out as I made my way into Gideon's kitchen.I placed down the bags, putting my phone on the kitchen island. I couldn't even say ‘Mother’ because that person is a stranger.Abel was silent for a moment, “If it's not Silas at least listen to what he has to say, You promise that you will talk to him the last time.” I let out a sigh, “Okay, I will do it. I will call him and talk to him” “Really? I appreciate it” Abel said, “I will go now”“Yeah” the call ended, I picked up my overnight bag and headed out to
Gideon's pov I grabbed my bag tightly as I headed towards the bus. My back aches and I need to get to bed badly. It was already night here and it will still be afternoon or evening in Seattle. My phone beeps before I could enter the bus, some of my teammates are already in and some are still making their way towards the bus. I fetched my phone out and it was an image sent by Maren, I opened it and it was a picture of her in red lingerie. “D*mn” I cursed, I am cut off guard. I swallowed my saliva and glanced around. “Get on the bus, Giddy” Jaxon called, I glanced up at him and smiled. I wasn't even pissed, my day had been made, I could see Jaxon’s frown. He was surprised that I didn't get mad that he called me Giddy. I need to take a good look at the picture. I entered the bus and headed to the back seat, I passed by Jaxon who tried to stop me from heading backseat. After settling in a corner, I brought out my phone and took another look at Maren's picture. I stared so much th
Maren's povI read through Silas’s texts and I dropped my phone, I was ready to hear anything about it.I don't want to hear it yet.Why didn't she want me?“Oh, the game is about to start,” Rylee said as she reached me. She gave me a can of soda. I took it from her, my gaze landing on the TV.Rylee sat beside me, “Has Gideon asked you to be his girlfriend like…real…”I shook my head to answer, My eyes still on the TV as I watched Gideon’s teammates and the opponent start moving around the ice.One of Gideon’s teammates was with the puck.“Maybe you should ask him to be your boyfriend, I mean when he is free this Friday, You can go to his place and…” Rylee suggested,“You think I should do that?” “Yeah, I mean you guys like each other very much even though I am still yet to believe Gideon.” Rylee said and I smiled.“I planned to have dinner with him soon, I have been putting what you teach me in motion” I said and I felt my cheeks warm. “And I was thinking I should get a lingerie” “
Gideon's povSHIRLEY Will you like to join me for dinner?I read the text and turned off my phone, placing it away. I turned to my teammates who are busy strategizing about our next move on ice.“Glad that you are joining us now, Patton,” Coach snickered.“Sorry” I apologized,Jaxon glanced at me, He could sense something was wrong. I could tell from the look in his eyes, I turned away. I have been avoiding Shirley, ignoring her texts and her calls.“Patton, You need to be fast. You are real sloppy today” Coach said and I nodded, “Okay boys, That's it”I grabbed my helmet and put it on, and I and the guys made our way to the tunnel. “Gideon” I heard Jaxon called, I waited.“You good?” He asked,“Yeah” I answered, “Okay,” he patted my back and we turned to leave the hallway.…… ……I zipped my bag and sat on the bench to do my shoe lace, I glanced at my phone screen, waiting for Maren’s reply.I had texted her, asking if I should come over.
