Then he moves to lay down next to me, tickling my neck like crazy with his kisses and it makes me giggle.
“You better take better care of yourself, Mister…” I say, my fingers in his hair as I bring him in for another kiss. “I’m pregnant. I can’t be risking my neck out for you!”
Harvey brings me close for another kiss, then rests his head on my shoulder. “I know. Don’t worry. Like I said, the police already know, and I’ll call them if I see him again.”
“You bet you will,” I say, kissing the top of his head.
And then he brings his arm around me, and with his lips next to my ears he says softly, “I love you too.”
Goosebumps spread throughout my body again as I smile in the dark, leaning against him and falling asleep in his arms.
Chapter Thirty-Four
HARVEY
WeplaytheCaliforniaVipers in the first game of the Stanley Cup, and I would have said we kicked their asses all the way back home, but they were already home.
I didn’t begin in the starter lineup, but that was okay. I still played from the end of the second period till the end, when we scored the bulk of our goals and guaranteed our win.
Very engrossed in the game, I was barely able to see Elsa, only spotting her because I spottedthatguy sitting a few rows behind her again.
Stephen Talarico. I remember his name now. Strong arm for the mob, went down without saying names and walked out free after five years due to good behavior.
I still haven’t had the chance to talk to him one-on-one, but I soon will.
After the game, I put on the god-forsaken guards on my skates and head straight to that motherfucker sitting right behind Elsa, but he’s gone again.
“Hey, you missed me that much?” Elsa jokes around but her smile falls when she sees my serious expression.
“What’s wrong?” she asks, her eyes huge. Then she starts turning around and whispers fearfully, “Did you see him again?”
I sigh then nod, “I know for sure it was him. Let me change and I’ll meet you back here. Stay with the crowd and don’t move.”
I rush back to the locker room where the guys are all celebrating. “Man, we were right,” Tchekov slaps me on the back. “I think we got this in the bag against the Vipers!”
Distracted, I nod then quickly head to the showers, dry off, then quickly change.
“Hey man, come join us all later for a beer!”
I wave as I head out to meet Elsa, who is sitting in the same place looking white as a ghost.
“Let’s go to my room. We can order room service and I’ll call my manager to see what he thinks.”
“Hey Harvey! You owe me an interview man. You aren’t answering your phone, so I had to track you down.” I turn around and see Parker and my mind goes blank.
Elsa says in exasperation to Parker, “The mafia are back! Harvey saw one sitting close to me!”
White-faced, Parker turns to me and mutters, “They are back, man?”
This had all happened shortly before we’d met five years ago, but I’d talked to him in length about it.
I nod, “Yeah, let’s get out of here and figure out what to do.”
They both nod and follow me out of the stadium.
“Shouldn’t we call the police?” Parker asks.
I shrug, “I’m not sure. I mean when I called them yesterday, they said they couldn’t do anything unless he acted first. He hasn’t approached me or done anything.”
