Me:
You sure about that?
Wade:
Why, what’s happened?
Me:
I’m sure she’ll explain when she sees you.
Me:
Your new place is cool. I approve.
Wade:
Thanks, see you tomorrow night at the game.
I’m happy for Wade, and at least someone is getting their dick wet.
Not me though. Nope.
Not since Sienna left for LA to pursue her acting career three months ago.
The girl I thought I would grow old with.
The girl who broke my heart so badly I thought it would never heal.
That is, until recently.
At the time, I blamed myself for letting her leave. I didn’t want her to accept her first big starring role in a new sitcom thousands of miles away from me. But it would have been wrong to hold her back.
I couldn’t clip her wings. LA was where she should have been all along. Maybe I should have gone with her. But I didn’t. Couldn’t because of my contract.
I love hockey; it flows through my veins like it’s part of my DNA.
And while playing hockey for the Eagles is a dream come true for me, I would have transferred if Sienna had asked, but her request never came.
Deep down, I thought if we were meant to be, she would find her way back to me. She never did.
After getting injured last season, I focused on healing my knee and coming back stronger, so I could sign the eight-year extension the Eagles offered me, and in the end, I didn’t fight for her. I had this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach that she didn’t want me to.
Maybe that’s what hurt the most.
After months, I finally feel like the old me again.
Maybe it’s because I’m with Lola tonight.
I can’t explain it, but when I’m around her, something fucking mental happens deep in my stomach and makes my dick stand to attention.
It’s becoming a huge fucking problem.
I can’t deny it’s a good sign though. It’s the first time my dick has liked anyone since Sienna, which means I am over her, and my heart has finally read the memo.
Lola returns from the restroom, and my stomach does that weird somersault thing again at the sound of her voice.
“I paid the bill,” she states.
