True Grit on The Ice

Chapter 6 The talk

They started to walk towards the Garden, there was a telling silence both of them lost in there own thoughts. Thinking about anything but the talk they were about to have. Hmm so geology lets think about that. ‘Kay so fault boundaries, one of the most famous is the San Andres fault that’s a transform fault also known as strike slip. Evy suddenly felt his hand take hold of hers; she jumped a little, because she wasn’t expecting it at all. She looked up at him and he gave me a small smile Ione that she returned and then she looked down quickly. The Himalayas are literally a big example of a convergent boundary; convergent boundaries can be continental-continental, continental-oceanic and oceanic-oceanic. Then there’s the… he’s just pulled her hand into his jacket pocket and her heart started beating fast.

Uhhhkay so there is the divergent boundary, which means the earth’s crust, is pulling apart, an example of that is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Shit he needs to stop touching her, well her hand, she can’t focus when his thumb keeps brushing across the inside of her hand. When Evy looked up from the ground they were pretty much at the MSG. She love this building, there’s always people here and when there’s a game it seems like the lights around it get brighter. There’s an air of excitement whenever there is a Knicks, St. Johns and of course the Rangers game. Luckily for them there weren’t going to be any games until for another two days , that’s when the Knicks play next.

They walked into the building through the player’s entrance; this was a new experience for her and it was really awesome. “Wow,” this is so cool she thought to herself, or so she thought.

“Yeah I know what you mean I get that feeling every time I walk into this building.” He looked around and took in a deep breath.

He looked like he was in deep thought “The first time I walk into MSG through this entrance I was in awe. I was also very nervous, I did it, I made it to the Pros. My mind was reeling, I was looking around then I was extremely tense and anxious,” laughing at the memory more to himself than to be. “I made it to the locker room where I a was greeted by my teammates, they took one look at me and laughed. I can only imagine what I looked like probably like I was gonna throw up.” He half smiled before continuing, “I suited to and tried to calm myself and then we did our usual pre-game warm ups and hit the ice. The Garden went crazy it was exhilarating.” Laughing at the memory, he then got a serious and turned to me. “Well we’re here let’s get you some skates and hit the ice.”

“Uhhh no, I don’t think so that’s not happening, no fuckin’ way.”

“Why afraid?”

“No not at all, well kinda afraid my butt is going to be to sore and I would like to sit rather than not. If I can’t sit on it, it will make me extremely grumpy.”

“Don’t worry I’ll catch before you fall, I promise,” we both fell silent. Evy wasn’t quite sure if it was an awkward silence but at this point I’d take, even if it is just delaying the inevitable.

“What size shoe are you?”

“What? You don’t know? I’m shocked.”

“No need for sarcasm,” he smirked at me.

“Ugh if I have to tell you, I’m a 7 ½, happy now,” Evy sighed out sarcastically.

“Yep, I am.” He came back a few seconds later with his skates and what she was assuming would be my skates. “Here ya go.”

“Why thank you… You’re my hero,” Evy said sarcastically while throwing my self at his feet and wrapping my arms around his legs.

 “Dramatic much?”

“Hey don’t hate on me, ‘sides you smiled so I’ve done my duty for the day come and find me tomorrow for that skating thing you wanted me to do.” She turned away and started walking towards the door; when he wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her against him. Evy held her breath and then he breathed into her ear, “nice try, now put your skates on.” For some reason that made her a bit breathless. Evy put the skates on that he gave me and wobbled a bit trying to stand so instead of falling she just sat down until he looked at her with a questioning gaze.

“I can’t stand in these without falling.”

“Oh why didn’t you say so,” smiling he picked her up and brought her to the ice. Evy thought he was gonna put her down when they got there but instead he carried her around the rink. His arms around her felt so good and she couldn’t help but feel the strength in his body. Truth be told it got her hot.

“So are we gonna have this conversation we have been avoiding or what?”

“Well I guess we should talk huh, soooo what do you want to know,” Evy questioned him.

“Was last night really your first time?”

“Yes, yes it was,” Evy was a bit embarrassed about that, how mean how many girls do you know that are virgins at 21, not many that’s for sure.

“Next question, why me?”

“I don’t know, I guess it seemed right and well I’m not complaining so I would say I made the right choice.”

“Wouldn’t you have rather been dating the person you had sex with the first time?”

She thought about it for a second, “Well yes, but I don’t regret that it happened last night, actually a repeat performance would be wonderful, just laying it out there.”

“I think that could be arranged, but your gonna finish answering my questions, ‘kay.” Evy just nodded her head.

“I didn’t hurt you last night did I?” he look a bit forlorn asking that question, Evy could tell he was a bit upset. He really didn’t want to hurt her that made her smile and get a little warm and fuzzy inside. Not to mention the butterflies in her stomach went crazy at the look he was giving her one that made her think of him as innocent, even though she knew that to be false.

“I won’t lie to you I’m a bit sore,” he looked devastated. Evy continued “but I think that’s normal and nothing a bath won’t fix, hmm speaking of bath would you help while I bath… please?”

“You keep saying stuff like that your gonna be sore pretty often,” the look he gave her was so heart wrenching. Some of his hair fell into his face and she just couldn’t resist brushing it away, then her hand slide to his neck. They started to kiss their breathing became harder he pulled her tighter to him on a moan.

He wrapped his arms around her and pulled Evy as close as he could to him. At this point she could he feel every line of muscle on his body. She ran her hands up his arms and back down to his waist to pull him closer. Their breathing became shallow, his tongue slipped inside her mouth and she followed his lead. He pulled away from her, she became cold with out him pressed up against her, and she shivered in response. He must of notice ‘cause he pulled her close once again.

He whispered to me, “we had to stop, I was losing control and we are not having sex on the ice. To damn cold for that.”

A thought struck her “how about the locker room, actually now that I’m thinking about it I like that idea.”

“Hmmm lets do it.”

He picked me up and skated rather fast to the benches and walked as fast as he could to the locker rooms.

Little did they both know that that wasn’t going to happen…
