“I think your boss was pretty happy with you,” I say on the way. “She seems like a good lady.”
“Yeah, she was pleased. Almost as happy as hearing you inviting her to the charity game tomorrow. She will be so upset she can’t make it.”
I laugh, “Well, it sounded like she had a hot date.”
“Yeah, I think so.”
We order a glass of wine each and sit outside on the deck of a fancy place called Maisons Wine Bar.
“I hope you didn’t mind me inviting Tess,” I say as we take a seat.
She shakes her head. “Not at all. Did you see her face!”
I laugh. “She might faint if she sees Alton Hart.”
“Now, even I know who that is.” She grins as she takes a sip of wine, and I watch it moisten her lips. Fuck, everything she does is hot.
“You sure?”
We both laugh.
“Hey, I know some of the rules,” she chastises.
“Like which ones?”
She thinks for a moment and then laughs again. “Alright, so not many of the rules, but I do like watching the game.”
“I’d love you to watch me again live.”
“Will you bring me a jersey to wear?”
“Already have one.” Little does she know I have that fantasy all mapped out in my head. All we have to do now is play it out.
“Will you be out in Florida much?” she asks.
“Not too much, but we play against Miami Spirit when the season starts.”
“Do you have pre-season training soon?”
I smile. “Yep, see, you know something about ice hockey.” I fucking dig the fact she’s a little clueless about it.
“I’d love to come watch,” she says.
Hearing her say that makes me want more. “I’d love that, too. Do you come to Seattle much?”
She shakes her head. “Not too much, but now, with Emmerson probably moving back and everything…” She shrugs.
“I’d fly you over to see me, you know,” I tell her, tracing my fingers along her forearm. She quivers from the touch.
“You would?”
“Yeah, I think we have some chemistry going on here.”
“Totally.” I see her swallow. I like the fact she’s upfront with me. Honesty is everything. I want to know what makes her happy, what makes her sad, and what she wants in life. These are the things I’m willing to get to the bottom of.
I sip my wine, watching her. “Are you going to come to the game tomorrow?” I ask.
Her full lips spread into a smile as she brings the wineglass to her lips. “Yes, I’d love to.”
