Off the Ice (Penalty Kill 2)

Chapter One

Presley

“Another round of finals are d-o-n-e,” I spell out as I flop onto my couch. Trevor is in the kitchen, going through my fridge. After he is unable to find anything, he comes over and sits next to me.

“What do you have planned for tonight?”

“I’m supposed to go to spend time with Levi before he leaves for his dad’s house in the morning.”

“How’s that going?” Trevor still looks a little disappointed that Levi and I got back together, but we are happy. I knew when I was back in Levi’s arms that night at the hospital, that it was going to be okay.

“Really good, but we haven’t been alone since we got back together.” Between Victor still in the hospital, finals, and the end of the hockey season, we haven’t been able to spend any alone time together. I’m looking forward to tonight. “I know you’re not happy about this, Trev, but I’m happy.”

“I know,” he huffs.

“Trev, just give him a chance. Please, for me.”

Trev crosses his arms and stares at the ceiling. I know that he is thinking of a way not to like Levi, but since Levi came and talked to him, Trevor has felt different about him. My twin brother tries to act like he’s all tough and mean, but the truth is, he really isn’t like that at all.

“I don’t want to argue, Twin. I’m just talking.” Trevor holds up in hands in defense.

“I don’t mean it that way. I’m just under a lot of stress. I’m sorry.”

“Stress? Have you seen the workout plan that Dad’s put me on?” I can’t help but laugh. My brother is on the fast track to the NHL. Our father has had that plan set in stone for Trevor since the day he picked up a hockey stick and put on skates.

“Listen, I’ve got to run to the next class.” I jump up and peck his cheek as I rush out into the cold winter air. I’m about to go into the classroom when my phone buzzes. I look down and see it’s a text from Levi.

Levi: School sucks. Wanna take a nap? ;)

A smile spreads across my face as I read the text. My boyfriend is so sweet and funny.

Me: Wish I could =( I’m going into class

Levi: guess I will wait till dinner, 6?

Me: see you then
