“Nah bruh, you really need to introduce me to this lady of yours. You’re so whipped.” Brian smiled as he gently nudged Nate’s shoulder.
She’s right here, Brian. She is here.
Nate shook his head and his eyes glanced at me as he said, “Not yet, I’m keeping her all to myself. I like having her attention on only me.”
Oh my God.
Since Nate arrived here, my lower half—vagina—that had suddenly developed a heartbeat had not stopped pulsing, and it was becoming unbearable at this point. If I had a penis, it would be straining against my pants right now.
“Avery, where’s little Niel?” Nate asked and I stared at him, surprised that I was being involved in the conversation.Why? Why would you do that to me, Nate?
“Daycare,” I said softly and he nodded before he tilted his head to the side.
“Say Brian, what is it that you call me around your family?” A smile grew on my face as Brian’s eyes widened.
“Yeah Brian, what do you call Nate around us? It starts with anL,” I goaded and Brian raised his head, staring at the ice as if he couldn’t hear us.
“Time to practice boys.” He clapped his hands and the boys groaned, raising their differences at his sudden instruction.
“Nah, we want to skate with Avery today,” Nate said and the rest of the team cheered on, agreeing with him.
“What?” I asked shocked and Brian chuckled under his breath.
“Yeah, come on the ice Ms. Avery,” Tom said as he skated backward, showing off his professional skills.
“You’re always working around us, and we’ve never seen you let your hair down. Come on in,” Jake said as he opened the dasher board frame door.
“No,” I whispered shaking my hands. I raised my camera and they all shouted their disagreements. “I’m actually really on good this side.”
“Come on, Avery. Get on the ice,” Brian laughed and I snarled at him. Wasn’t he supposed to be coming to my aid and telling them that I was quite busy with my own work?
“I guess, it wouldn’t hurt,” I answered, swallowing my heart. I retrieved my skates from the staff storage. Everyone that worked for the Lumberjacks had a pair of skates, whether you knew how to skate or not, the choice was yours on what to do with your shoes.
When I came back, I sat down on the chair, praying to God that I wouldn’t fall on my face and embarrass myself in front of everyone. I strapped in my shoes and when I raised my head,Nate was leaning against the railing with a smug smile on his face.
I looked at him and squinted my eyes as I shakily got up, taking small steps toward the railing.
“I have to admit something,” I whispered and he tilted his head to the side. “I can’t skate.” I pointed an accusing finger at him and he smiled as he held my hand, helping me get on the ice. “So if I fall, I will kill you because this was your idea!”
“I told you before, Angel, that I wouldn’t let you fall while you’re with me,” he whispered in my ear as he closed the door behind us.
As soon as my skates touched the ice, my legs shook and I immediately shook my head.
“Nope, nope! Get me out,” I said nervously and I could hear Brian chuckling from where he stood.
“Balance yourself, just stand still,” Nate tried to calm me down and I shook my head, not wanting to hear any of it.I am not balancing myself for shit! Get me off this ice!
“I’m scared,” I squealed as I tried to stand straight per Nate’s instructions.
“Nothing to be afraid of Ms. Avery, the ice is your lover,” Andy said as he skated past us, winking at Nate.
“Just ignore him,” Nate said as he held my hands in his. “I’m going to pull you, okay? Try to push your legs forward, it’s like walking.” Nate’s kind smile was reassuring and I listened to his advice, trusting him because he was the pro between us.
After a few laps around the ice, I gripped his hands tightly shaking my head as I felt how my jeans clung tightly to me due to the many times I had fallen on the ice.
“I should’ve never trusted you,” I said under my breath as I leaned against the railing. It was not like walking as a matter of fact!
“You’re doing okay there, Avery?” my brother teased as he skated toward us with one leg up, and his hands inside his pocket, smirking.
