Chapter 12MiaI whipped my head to the door and found Scott standing there holding a bag of pastries and coffee.I quickly stood up straight.“What the hell are you doing here?” I seethed.“Who let you in?” I demanded.“I got you coffee and some pastries.” he said, showing me the package I paused to look at it and then at him.Then he stood and collected. “Thank you. Now you can go now.”“What?” his eyes widened."You think coffee and pastries are going to make everything you said to me disappear?”He ran a hand through his hair. “No, of course not. It's more like a peace offering. I'm sorry.”“What are you even sorry for? Do you have the slightest idea why the fuck I'm even upset?”He sighed. “I was out of line with that comment I made. I guess I wasn't thinking.”“Thinking what?” I pushed, folding my hands against my chest.“Thinking about your feelings. You're brilliant, Mia, and I shouldn't have made it sound like your success had anything to do with your looks.”.I sighed. I h

Chapter 14Scott I drove back to the bar as soon as I dropped Mia off, too pissed to even go home.Why I'd ever agreed to this was still fucking beyond me.This was all the coach's fault.If he hadn't pushed this ridiculous fake-dating arrangement on me, I wouldn't be dealing with Mia, Gerald, Zara, or the fucking mess in my head right now.I dragged a hand over my face.Why was I even pissed?Why was I surprised?Mia always found a way to make me feel like an asshole.First, there was the whole Zara situation. Now Gerald.And Gerald had practically been giving her fuck-me eyes while she wasn't exactly looking at him innocently either.I needed a drink.“Whiskey on the rocks.” I said to Pamela, one of the bartenders at the bar.“Coming up, handsome.”I couldn't even find it in me to smile at a beautiful woman complimenting me.“Here you go.” She said, I locked eyes for only a second. She had one of the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. Heterochromia was what she had. She had one b

Chapter 16ScottWhat the fuck was wrong with me?I messaged my temple as I made my way through my front door.I collapsed on the couch.Maybe this whole thing with Mia was a mistake. Sure, my popularity had gotten higher, and scouts and recruiters were watching me more intently now, which was good. That was exactly what I wanted. But at the end of the day, the lines were starting to blur.I didn't like blurred lines.No. I'm overthinking this. I was probably stressed out.****That evening, I spent my time practicing alone in the hockey arena.It always helped me keep a level head and think clearly.That and sex. Which I never got to enjoy fully last night with Katie. Maybe I should call her in again.I kept skating until my legs started to ache.The empty arena was quiet except for the sound of my blades cutting through the ice. No coaches. No teammates. No distractions.Exactly what I needed.I stopped near the boards and pulled out my phone.Katie's name was still sitting near the

Chapter 18MiaI was finally all packed for Boston. I took Chris’ card and stared at it for a sec. I still hadn't called after that day. I had no idea why. A part of me felt like I hadn't earned it.I shoved it back in my pocket, deciding to call him as soon as I got to Boston. At least if I covered the game, I would be able to impress Chris more. An internship with him could skyrocket my career.I made my way out of my dorm room. Stacey was waiting to walk me to the arena after her morning run.She smirked when she saw my bag."Are you bringing half of Campus to Boston?”I laughed. “It's one week's worth of clothes.”"You mean one year.” She joked. I looked down at my huge luggage and friends. Maybe I had packed a little too much for a 4-day trip.She helped me put my bag in the car and drove me to the hockey arena.Scott was waiting outside for me."Finally. I thought you'd change your mind or something.”"And miss an opportunity to go to Boston with my sweet baby boyfriend? Of cou

Chapter 20MiaI could hardly believe my ears.“Really?” I took the card from him.“Yes, we are always looking for talent like you. Plus you're sharp, bold, and daring. That's what the journal world requires.”“Wow, thank you so much. You have no idea how huge this is.” I said with a smile. We continued to talk for another hour. Chris offered to pay for our food before we left.“I have to say that was a pretty amazing night.” I said as Scott ignited the engine of the car.“Yeah, great night.”I frowned and glanced at him.“You don't seem awfully enthusiastic.”"No, I am.”“For someone who just met the commissioner of the NHL, you don't.”“It's just, I don't think he actually cares about me.”“Maybe not you but definitely your career. He looked impressed by you to me.”“I think he was more impressed by you.”“I doubt that.”Scott rolled his eyes. “Oh come on, he practically called you a prodigy and gave you all the attention. You'll definitely be hearing back from him. Me, on the othe
