I'm Not The Guy You're Taking Home [CHARLIE CONWAYXADAM BANKS]{BXB}

24

Charlie's POV
I watch Adam walk back down and people start picking who they want, Adam miraculously getting Jace and AJ. Them not getting picked in the first, second, or third round really baffles me. Adam gets every person on his team he wanted and Evan says "why me first?" I say "cause Adam wanted to get you before coach Cole did and he was willing to risk not getting Jace and AJ for that."

They all gather as a team and Adam says "who wants to hear the team name?" They all nod and Adam says "you all are looking like a bunch of Savages. Chomping at the bit, ready to light the village on fire!  Savages?!" They all get hyped on the name and I nod, smiling. Adam hypes them up like Adam hypes up his own hockey team. They all announce the team names and Coach Cole goes up to the podium and says "I'd like to announce that a certain somebody is getting a promotion around here to private coach and extra support coordinator. If you need extra hockey help outside of practice or need new pads, new skates, because you broke it or you just need support in anything around here. Hockey is hard on the body and the mind. So, if you need someone to complain about the coaches to or you need to pet and cuddle a dog you might want to call up Charlie Conway."

I look up and I go up saying "who told you to do this?" He says "I think you know" and I glare at Adam and he smiles innocently. I chuckle saying "thank you. I'm in room 204, just give a knock a if you need anything or just want to pet my dog. Like I said before to my whole floor, I'm hear to be your mom or your best friend. My only rule is, I don't do your laundry. I'll help you with hockey, your summer homework, your relationship that's probably falling apart, and if I'm feeling generous, I'll help you clean your room. I better get a plaque or something outside my door. No, you guys make me a cool sign. Do some arts and crafts, it's good to be creative."

People clap and cheer and I chuckle, shaking my head. Jace is hanging back behind his team and I go over to him saying "if you need someone to talk to, I'm your guy." He fist bumps me and he says "I don't need help" quietly and he leaves. We all mingle and Adam comes over to me saying "what's a pretty boy doing in a place like this?" I say "I have a taste for pro hockey players. Thought I'd find a few here." He says "a few?" I say "I'm looking at one in particular. I like to have options."

Adam chuckles saying "you better not have backups." I say "Jacobs my backup" and he says "can I buy you a drink?" I say "can't say no to those pants"  biting my lip and he chuckles, going to get us drinks. I say "champagne?" He says "probably not" and we try it. I chuckle saying "this is sparkling grape juice." Adam chuckles saying "can we get drunk off it?" I say "no, Adam" laughing and he says "what's the point then?" I say "there are children here" chuckling. Adam smiles saying "to us?" I smile saying "to us" clinking our glasses and taking another sip.

I stare into his eyes and he smiles. He says "want to go to your room?" I bite my lip and I nod and we go to my room. He locks the door and kisses me softly. My hands go to his hair and Adam grips my hips, then his hands drifting all over my body just driving me crazy. I unbutton his shirt and he kisses me deeper. It's just sexual energy and heat that we feel right now, nothing matters. Adam unbuttons my shirt and we go to my bed.

The next day

Adam is gone and I see a schedule written on a whiteboard. It says: where I am at the top then it has his schedule on the board. I put the dog on a leash saying "let's go find your daddy" after I take a picture of the schedule and get ready for the day. I put Adam's sunglasses on and I grab my skates, going to the rink. I go inside and he's just working the kids and says "just keep going!" I go into the box, put my skates on, and Ducky jumps up to sit on the bench. I skate out and Adam quietly says "hey, sunshine. What's good?"

I say "good morning" smiling and he mumbles "can we talk about something?" I mumble "what's wrong, babe?" We go over to the penalty box and he says "I think I should come out" quietly. I say "I'm proud of you. If you think you should, knock yourself out. If you want to mention me, go for it." I hug him and I say "I love you" and he says "I love you too" quietly and I know tears are coming to his eyes.

I pull away and he says "I just can't do it anymore. I love you way too much. I gotta let people know" and I chuckle then I say "babe, take the day off. Think about what you need to do and make the right decision, Adam." He squeezes my hands and he says "Charlie, I think I should but it's scary" and I say "if you want to, you should. Only do it if you want to. Adam, don't feel forced to do it. I'm serious" and he says "I know" hugging me.

I say "go see your dog, she misses you. Go, I'll take care of your kids." Adam says "you have the schedule?" I nod and he says "I'm gonna go workout" squeezing my hand. He grabs Ducky and leaves and I go onto the ice saying "alright, team Savage let's get to work!" They cheer and Evan says "is Coach Adam ok?" I say "he's going through something right now, kid. Just tell me what we're doing. I know the general schedule, just no specifics."
