Off the ice

Chapter 18

It was many and many a year ago

in a kingdom by the sea

where a maiden there lived whom you may know

by the name of Annabel Lee;

-Annabel Lee by Edgar Allan Poe 1849

Hi, I've been thinking about a posting schedule and I came up with 2 options. The first is where I publish a part every week and the other is where I publish two parts or maybe even three every two weeks. It's up to you! Let me know in the comments >>>>>>>>

There was one problem with this whole thing. Well, one problem that could be solved when coming from me. Nikki, was that problem. She hasn't stopped texting, calling, and leaving me messages that I don't look at or anything, but I'm scared that she's going to do something to ruin the progress we made.

I had like 132 unread messages and 14 missed calls. I'm too scared to check my voicemail for the horror I may find. The worst part, is by far that she won't stop following me around, and it's driving me crazy.

I didn't even like her, but I made the mistake of sleeping with her a few too many times. My head was in a scramble and I needed a distraction. Now she think we're fuck buddies and just a one night stand.

I know, I know I should just tell her to take a hike right? Don't you think I've tried? She. Won't. Do it. And it's exasperating me.

I decided to just call her, and try to tell her once and for all that it's not going to continue, our littler game of fucking in secret corners whenever I felt like it.

It's been two days since we landed, and the first week of our trip to Oceania was going to be here, for the skating competition, and next week we would be going to New Zealand for our games. Anyways, we kept the same groups as back home, more or less. Some girls petitioned to change the groups completely for a chance at getting stuck with me.

*cough cough* Nikki and her crew. Of course the coaches said no, so I'm still with Victoria. I pulled up her contact on my phone and called.

To her credit she answered by the fourth ring and not the first.

"Hey, Zach. Ready to stop ignoring me?" she said in the bratty voice of hers.

"About that, I need you to stop calling me." straight to the point.

"What? Why? Is this why you've been ignoring me? Because you're dating Victoria and don't need me anymore? I thought I knew you better than that." How the fuck does she know about Victoria? Either way it doesn't matter.

"You didn't, our little game of fucking when it's convenient is over, and you will leave me alone. And don't even think about harassing Victoria." Hopefully she gets the message.

"Nuh-uh. You don't get to decide when we fuck, when we don't and when it's over. That's not fair. We aren't done, and I won't be replaced with a bitch who just hides behind her brother and his friends instead of having a hobby."

"One, you don't get to talk about her like that, and two, I do get to decide, and if you would've had a problem with that before, we wouldn't even be in this situation. Bye Nikki." I said before hanging up and blocking her number.

I'm on my way to the rink the skaters are practicing at, because I'm still supposed to practice with Vic. The skaters practice everyday, all day, until Friday, which gives them Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday to practice and the Saturday, Sunday and Monday were the actual competition.
