Game Winner (Penalty Kill 3)

“Pres,” I turn to my name being called out. I see my twin jogging to me. “Are you sure you don’t want to go with us?”

I sigh. “Trevor, for the tenth time, I don’t want to go with Marley and you on your weekend sex marathon trip.”

He throws his head back and laughs. “It’s not like that.”

“Really? I think I know you better than that.”

“Look,” he throws his arm around my shoulders, “I don’t want you to be alone this weekend. You said that everyone was going to be gone.”

“I love you, and thank you for caring. Trust me, I will be fine. Besides, I know Marley and you haven’t seen each other a lot the past couple weeks. Have fun and be safe.”

He gives me a small smile and kisses my temple. “I love you too, Twin.”

He drops his arm and heads in the other direction of where I’m standing. I walk fast to my car because I’m freezing and am ready to head home to start my ‘me’ night. I start my car when I hear my phone buzz with a text alert.

Levi: Has the ‘Smarty’ night started yet?

My insides flutter as I read his text. When I told him about my night, he thought it was perfect. He knows I’ve been working hard, just like I know he has been too. He has been doing so well in his games. I’ve been watching his stats on the AHL websites.

Me: Headed home now. It should start in about 15 mins.

Levi: Well, you have FUN & relax

Me: Love you!

Levi: Love you!

I love him so much. In the year we’ve been together, so many obstacles have come into our path, but we’ve made it through.

I keep that smile on my face as I drive home. Luckily, everyone seems to be heading out of town, so there isn’t much traffic as I pull into my parking lot. I gather up all my books, my bag, and my purse. I rush up my stairs and unlock my door.

“Oh crap, it’s cold,” I say outloud as I lock the door behind me. I drop my stuff on the couch and head to the kitchen to grab a bottle of water. I look at the menus on my fridge, trying to figure out where to order from.

“I can warm you up,” a voice says behind me.

I scream and drop my bottle of water. I turn quickly, my fist ready to fight whoever is behind me, when I see Levi’s blue eyes looking back at me.

“Levi Carr, you jerk!” I scream at him. He laughs at me as he comes closer to me. “Wait, what the hell are you doing here?” My heart is racing so fast that I can’t understand why he isn’t in Pennsylvania.

“Well, when practice finished today, Coach said that we were off until Sunday morning so I thought I would crash ‘me’ night. I was expecting a warmer welcome, Smarty.”

“You scared me to death. I’m shocked that I didn’t pass out.”

He slightly pouts his lips. “I could leave.”

I grab his arm and jerk him closer to me. “If you leave, I’ll kill you.” I stand up on my tiptoes and kiss him. He feels incredible against my lips, and he pushes me until I’m against the counter. I almost whine when he finally breaks our kiss.

“You’re going to be upset for what I’m about to say.”

“Oh no, what?” I’m confused on what he possibly could tell me right now.

“I’m starving. I haven’t eaten since this morning, because I rushed to get here. Mind if we eat first, before I eat you?” He cocks his eyebrow at him.

“You pig,” I slap his shoulder.

“What?”

“You know what.” I push him away and grab some paper towels to clean up the water.
