Monday morning, back at training... it always hard leaving Ellie sleeping peacefully all warm and cozy while I'm having to say goodbye for 6 hours. I kissed her head to say goodbye and left her to sleep in. There's no point waking her up that early, especially since we didn't sleep much last night... I hope she can walk properly today... but then again, I hope she can't. So she remembers how good I made her feel.

I walk into the entry doors of the arena, heading to the locker room to get ready for training. I see Berdard across the room at his locker, sitting patiently just in his own little world. Not gonna lie, I'm anxious to hear what he has to say about what happened on Saturday night, but I'm sure Ellie didn't lie to me.

Once I get all my gear on I head out to help Thomas and coach set up the drills. "Yo, you all good? The boys were saying how you had some chick waiting for you after the game and Ellie saw and ran away with Berdard. You were so out of it you didn't even say bye and ran around like a headless chicken looking for her. Is that true?" Thomas asks as he pulled me aside away from coach. I sighed, pushing my hair out of my face with my glove. "Yeah all good man, it was just a huge misunderstanding unfortunately. I ended up finding her and we talked it out." I replied, nodding down at the ice and watching the boys start trickling onto the ice for training. "So, who was the girl?" Thomas pressed, wanting to know. "Some chick I hooked up with a month ago. She was back in NYC and thought she could come watch my game and act like my girlfriend, when I specifically told her before that I wasn't looking for a relationship or to even see her again after." I answered honestly, shrugging. He had a defeated look on his face in response, "Ahh. I can imagine how Ellie felt seeing her there then. What did Berdard do with her though? Have you spoke to him?" He nods towards Connor who is on his knee with the rest of the team, we skate towards them slowly. "Nah, was going to catch up with him today. He helped her out though, so I'm not too mad... I just hope I don't hear something I don't want to hear." I sigh, showing my fear. Thomas taps me on my back, "Ellie is a good person. So is Berdard. I'm sure nothing happened, bro." He reassures, reaching the group and getting down on one knee to listen in to what coach has to say.

He started to go through the plan for today, what we need to work on and what we have down-packed. He debriefs Saturday's game that we won, saying how it was dangerously close so we need to work on defence. Once we finished up, we split into our groups and did the drills. I'm getting hungry, and I wonder if El is awake. Only half an hour left. I need to fucking focus.

The whistle blows and Coach yells 'lunch break'. Music to my ears, after my girls moan. I reach for my water and skate off the ice, jogging to the locker room to grab my phone. I see two messages from my girl. Making me smile like a goofball.

el chapo 👸🏼

– you didn't wake me up again. 🙁

– have a good training session tho, let me know how the chat goes with Connor 🤍 

bc I feel too bad, you looked too peaceful - especially after I
disturbed the peace of your body all night. please don't hate me bc of that...
but also, please do, because you're hot when you're angry at me. 😘

I really don't agree with waking her up, no matter how much she wants it, because I know she needs her sleep and like I said - we didn't sleep much last night. So she really needed it. I'd wake her up any other time though, only when it's later in the morning. She's technically on a vacation anyway, she can't do this much at home. I smile as I pressed send on my message, knowing it'll make her smile too. Dissolving the anger over me not waking her up.
