Off the Ice (Penalty Kill 2)

“First off, eeewww. Secondly, something is wrong with her if she thinks it would be okay with me for you to sleep with her while dating me. Thirdly, I’m ignoring the God comment.” Presley snuggles up to me, resting her head on my chest. “Is that what you were talking about earlier? About what happened at the gym?”

“Yeah and McCarthy pissed me off with his comment after she walked away.”

“What’d he say?”

“Doesn’t matter.” When she props herself up to look at me, I take the opportunity to lean forward to kiss her. “Goodnight.” I smile afterwards.

“You’re the tease.”

I laugh, pulling her close as she lays her head on my chest once more.

Chapter Nineteen

Presley

“Stop laughing.” I push Marley, who’s laughing uncontrollably. “This isn’t funny.”

“That’s the funniest thing I’ve ever heard.” Marley wipes tears from her eyes. “Come on, Pres. He’s a hot, horny college student. I’m surprised he hasn’t had a threesome already.”

I hang my head. I told Marley about Levi’s and my conversation last night. I couldn’t get it out of my head. “So, do you think he wants one?” I know that I can’t do that.

“Hell yeah he does. He’s a guy.” Marley sits the beer down in front of me. I have been at her apartment for the past hour trying to figure out what Levi is thinking. “But I don’t think Levi is like that with you. He barely shares you with me, let alone another sexual partner.”

“You think?”

“I know. Come on, think about it. Look at how jealous he is of Zack and you two haven’t been together in years.” She has a point. Plus, I don’t want to share Levi either.

“Then if he brings it up again, I’ll just tell him ‘no’.”

“Good girl.” We toast to that and drink our beers.

We spend the evening catching up on what is happening with our classes and our plans for the summer. I’m trying to get an internship at a large law firm in the city and Marley has been trying to get an internship with the NHL. She hasn’t told Trevor yet, because she thinks that she won’t get it. But she is too smart not to.

I’m about to leave when my phone buzzes alerting me of a text message. I didn’t think that Levi and Trevor were done with their workout yet. When I look at it, I see that it’s Zack.

“Oh no,” I grumble.

“Who is it?”

I hold up the phone so that she can see the display.

Zack: We need to talk

“Well, looks like he might be sober, considering he is spelling everything correctly,” Marley quips.

The phones buzzes again.

Zack: I’m one of your oldest friends

Zack: We have history together

Zack: Please

I sigh deeply and look at Marley.

“He’s right. You have history and it’s just talking.”

“You’re right. We’ve been friends forever.” I know that Levi will be busy working out with Trevor for at least another half hour to an hour. I text Zack and we decide to meet on the other side of town. I don’t want Levi seeing us. He was going to kill him the last time he saw him. I tell Marley that I will text her later, and I head over to meet up with Zack.
