Two Months Later

After ending a business call with my brother, I pocket my phone and stop outside Stevie’s hotel room. We’re in Vancouver again for our second-to-last game of the season.

These last two games are important because they will determine if we get into the playoffs. We have no choice but to win, and I have to admit the pressure is getting to me. And if I’m honest with myself, so has trying to stay professional with Stevie.

The more I get to know her, the more I want her. Since the day she started, I’ve done everything in my power to not even look at her for too long, at least when she’s not looking at me. It’s hard, though, when I spend hours with her every day. But that’s my own fault. I’m a glutton for punishment, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t ask for more of her time than I probably need. But being around her is addicting, and I can genuinely say she’s also become one of my best friends.

That’s also a problem. Because even though I wanted to get to know her, I’m worried that I did too good of a job. That she’s put me in the friend zone. The only glimmers of hope I have are when I see her watching me a little longer than she has to while filming for my social media. There was also this one time I swore she moaned when I did a hip stretch in front of her last week, but I brushed it off as my own horny imagination. Because fuck. I’m in a dry spell again.

And it’s not like I can just go and get laid. Stevie takes up all my dreams and fantasies. I’ve tortured myself some nights wondering if she’s sleeping with anyone else, but I’m pretty sure our schedules have kept her from any extracurricular activities. Not that I have any right to her body—we were never together.

Movement catches my eye down the hallway, and I realize I’ve been standing outside her door like a creep. I bring my hand up to the door to knock, but then I realize it’s cracked open. Panic swells in my chest, worry overtaking me. I knock on the door, but nobody answers.

“Stevie? Are you in there?” When she doesn’t answer, I push the door open to find an empty room. I let out a sigh of relief until I see her phone on the bed. My heart rate picks up again as I notice that the bathroom door is shut, and then I hear the sloshing of water. I close and lock the door before walking further into the room.

Is she seriously taking a bath with her hotel room door open? I can’t believe she didn’t lock it. Maybe I’m working her too hard, and I should give her a break. It’s not like her to do something so careless.

The water sloshes again, and my feet take on a mind of their own.
