All Chapters of Babysitting the Beckham hockey brothers : Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

CHAPTER 2SOPHIEAce Beckham over the months had never looked at me like he was right now.Not this long. Not with this intensity that made it actually feel like he had recalled that night.That he had not been too drunk while his tongue swiped through mine, claiming every part of me. Mind, body and soul.That I had not been too easy to erase from his mind.I was dumbstruck, he was too. And I watched in complete awe as his adams apple bobbed in a swallow.“I’m heading back to my room.” He pulled his gaze away from me, the movement so smooth I would have almost thought I imagined that he had stared at me for more than five seconds. “I have to practice.”Mrs Abigail frowned, oblivious to the temperature in the living room that had dropped so low I felt a shiver climb up my spine. “But you’ve not had dinner yet, I thought you might be hungry.”“Not anymore.” He mumbled, turning and walking back into the dimed staircase.I bit my lower lip, pushing my eyes to the rug.Jaxon moved next, bu

CHAPTER 4ACE BECKHAMOne tap.My fingers around the phone tightened, the screen light reflecting in the darkness of my gaze. Sophie was being recorded.Second tap of my finger on my bed cushion.Betty and Belladonna splashed her. With a drink.Sophie was splashed.Mom’s therapist had said one thing to me years ago that had stuck. Especially when Hockey had not been in my life, when I had no other way of letting out aggression in ways that didn’t end up in blood.She said five taps. In my head, on my fingers, it didn’t matter. What mattered was that I tapped five times. And if I couldn’t get my beast under control at the fifth tap, then I was free to spill blood.Third tap.Laughter. Everyone in the proximity of the hall laughed, they stared at her, mocking her. My nails threatened to break under the harshness of how tight I held onto Mackenzie’s phone.While I watched as the ice-cold drink soaked the outfit she wore that had almost brought me to my knees, had Mackenzie not gratefully

CHAPTE 6 SOPHIE “How could he still be with her after what she did to you?!” Maddie screamed into the phone, making me wince. She had showed me a picture Mackenzie had posted of her and Ace after his hockey game yesterday. She had her arms around his neck, and a huge smile on her face. Captioning it, ‘A might with the hottest Hockey captain in history.’I inhaled, kneading the bread dough I was about to bake with the recipe book Mrs Abigail had given for Josh’s food schedule. “You seem to be forgetting that what I have is a one sided crush,” I reminded, wetting the baking pan with butter. “One I would very much want to be over with.” It had been three days since the incident with Mackenzie.Three days of Betty and Belladonna calling me slutty names while passing, also sharing wrong, degrading information about me and creating gossip. But for some reason, the bullying ended in words and words alone. I was getting to my breaking point, and I knew I would retaliate soon enough

CHAPTER 8 SOPHIE “You have got to be fucking kidding me!” Maddie squeaked as she got into the car that packed before her work place. “Is this really happening? We have vip to stay at the front row too?” I rolled my eyes, pulling my purple jacket closer to cover the number of the jersey I wore. “This is all your fault.” I glared at her. “I really do not want to do this.” “Girl please,” she shushed me away, closing the door closed. “You have been hung up on Ace Beckham for what? Centuries? And I’m all for crushes, but he hasn’t even noticed you once.” My skin prickled, my fingers digging into my leather jacket as the driver Jaxon sent began driving. Something stupid told me that Maddie was wrong. That maybe Ace actually had noticed me. But I knew it was just the stupid crush-filled girl in me speaking.I was so done with this bullshit after tonight. “Don’t forget the reason you’re dating his brother, it is to get over him. So make sure every thought you have of him is negat
