Chapter 15

Van

I’m exhausted and exhilarated at the same time. The team plane flew back to Raleigh tonight after our loss to New Jersey, tying the series up at two games apiece. It’s fucking hard to win on the road during the play-offs, the home team’s fan base actually becoming an additional player on the ice so to speak. There’s an energy that you can almost cut with a knife from the loud music and thousands of screaming fans cheering their team on.

It’s the same when we play here at home. I expect this series will go all seven games.

So yeah…exhausted from a defeat and a late-night flight back home.

But beyond exhilarated because Lucas left from the airport to head straight to Stephanie’s apartment, and that means Simone and I have the house to ourselves. We can crumble the foundation or scream down the neighborhood and it will all be cool.

The minute I walk into the house, the stillness tells me Simone isn’t here. Yet I walk through the house to make sure, perhaps thinking maybe she’s sleeping naked in my bed.

No such luck.

I pull my phone out and shoot her a text. Where are you?

I didn’t necessarily tell her we’d hook up tonight, but I figured she’d know that. She normally doesn’t work on Sundays, and surely she knows her brother is going to go stay with Stephanie.

She doesn’t respond, and it bothers me a little bit. Simone could be out with friends, or she could have picked up an extra work shift, but for some reason it just kind of bothers me she didn’t tell me.

Not that I even gave her one hint of when I’d be in. Because to do that would smack too much of a committed relationship, and she knows that’s not the way I roll. I know it’s absolutely misogynistic to expect her to keep me fully informed of her whereabouts so I can fuck her when I have some time, but I won’t give the same to her.

I know just how fucked up that is, but I firmly believe if I give an inch, I’ll be expected to give a proverbial mile at some point. I have to maintain the distance with her emotionally.

I take my luggage into my room and unpack. With no response from Simone, I decide to take a shower despite the fact I took one at the arena tonight after the game. It’s a way to pass some time until I can figure out what the rest of my evening is going to be like.

When I get out of the shower, I’m relieved to see a text waiting for me from Simone. Started new job tonight. On a quick break. Glad you’re back. We’ll tear it up tonight when I get home. Lucas is staying with Stephanie.

Yeah, no shit.

Where? I write back.

There’s absolutely no hesitation in her response. Follies.

What the ever loving fucking hell?

My response to her is swift. Are you fucking kidding me? A strip club?

You know it? She asks in her return text.
