Something So Perfect (Something So 2)

“Well, this is interesting,” the sportscaster says, “we got more Max Horton drama,” the reporter starts saying.

I sit up in bed, watching the television while Matthew chuckles beside me.

“Allison is going to rip him a new asshole. I can’t wait to watch this.”

The reporter continues, “It seems that the bad boy of NHL has eloped. And the word on the ice is that the new bride is none other than Allison Grant.” My mouth flies open while Matthew immediately sits up, grabbing his phone. “Allison is none other than Matthew Grant’s sister, as well as Cooper Stone’s stepdaughter.” He stops talking for a second.

“You will remember that Max was charged as an accomplice to the rape charge that came six years ago. Of course those charges were dropped and he was cleared of all charges against him.”

He turns off the television, getting out of bed while I watch him dial Allison and it must go straight to voice mail. “Aly, you get this message, you call me.” He hangs up and then starts dialing another number. “You better fucking hope that what I heard is a fucking rumor.” He hangs up, looking at me.

“I guess now would be a bad time to tell you I’m pregnant again?” I smile at him, hoping that this news brings him down before the vein in his head actually explodes.
