Just One Look

A Night In

Nicole's POV:

"Chelsea, Chelsea, I believe...." I woke up to my phone dinging uncontrollably and see it is Artemi  texting me at 4 in the morning. Damn, he likes to be up early.

A-Morning beautiful. I'm sorry I text you this early. I had trouble sleeping, I was too busy thinking about you.

N-Aww Artemi, you are too sweet. You are the only reason I like being awake at four in the morning.

A- I have nothing planned tonight since my practice is at ten and my game is not for a couple days...Do you want to have  date night since we have not had one for a while?

N-Of course! Any opportunity I get to spend with you I am taking. What do you have in mind?

A-How about we just have a quiet night in, just the two of us. Your place or mine?

N-I love the way you think baby. How about my place?

A-I'll be over at around 6, Would that work for you baby?

N-Yeah that sounds perfect! I'll see you then.

A-Wear comfy clothes tonight Nicole. I'm going to let you get your beauty sleep, princess. I need to get some sleep before practice. I love you so much! See you tonight, I can't wait.

N-I love you more than Forrest Gump loves chocolate. Get some sleep my prince.

I turn my ringer on silent and put it back on the table next to my bed where it belongs. I closed my eyes and drifted of in blissful night sleep. I kept having peaceful, happy dreams of Artemi all night long.

I am awoken again a few hours later by some thuds coming from the living room. I grab my hockey stick I keep under my bed for protection incase a thief or murderer broke into the apartment. I open and close my door quietly and start tip toeing down the hallway to the living room. When I get  closer to the living room, I see Teuvo and Chelsea doing something. For the love of God and all things holy, if I walk into them doing hanky panky again, I may or may not scream or throw up or do a combination of the two. I snuck my way into the living room and see Teuvo and Chelsea doing yoga in the middle of our living room. They are currently are in downward-facing-dog.  I clear my throat and it startles them.

"What are you guys doing?" I asked secretly relieved that I didn't walk in on them  going at it like rabbits. I have a knack for walking in on them at the worst possible times.

"I'm doing some prenatal yoga. My doctor told me that it helps me with dealing with my labor pains and it is a good, safe way to keep in shape for the remainder of my pregnancy.  Teuvo came over to help me and make sure I don't hurt the baby and I." Chelsea says standing up  and helps Teuvo up off the floor. Teuvo is standing my living room wearing nothing but wearing spandex yoga shorts. Those leave nothing to the imagination, no freaking wonder why Chelsea keeps coming back for more and more from Teuvo. Good Lord...

"Oh. Can you guys do me a small favor?" I say biting my lip trying not to get distracted by Teuvo's snake in his pants.

"What you need sweetheart?" Chelsea asks as she takes a seat on the couch.

"Artemi is coming over a date night tonight and I was wondering if you guys could leave for the night." I ask hoping they don't get offended by me wanting them to leave.

"That's fine, Teuvo is treating us to a spa day and I'm staying at his place for tonight." Chelsea say

"Oh ok thank you so much, Chels and Teuvo." I say thankful that they are going to be gone for the night so Artemi and I can have alone time. Chelsea hugs me and she runs to her bedroom and comes out about a half hour later comes out with a overnight bag and some new clothes on. Teuvo managed to slip on some Nike roshes, grey sweatpants, and a red Chicago Blackhawks sweatshirt.
