Her knight in Blue

"Wait.. So you and him are what... together now?" Luca asked with a huge smile. I just smiled and nodded. After I got my stitches last week, we had a long conversation about where both of us were with our feelings, and we both agreed to hold off on telling anyone. However, I told him that even if I didn't say anything that Luca would be able to read me like a book, so I was gonna tell him anyway. So, here I am explaining everything that happened.

"Yeah but Luca, I trust you can keep this to yourself? Cause Jim can't know right now. This is new, and I don't want it to cause problems for anyone at work. Okay? Especially with Christmas being only two days away, okay." I asked and he nodded his head, holding his hand over his heart. "Good, anyway, I gotta get things ready before work, and you need to get ready for today."

"Do you work today?" He questioned as he went into the bathroom to get changed while I got stuff together and cleaned up.

"Tonight, but I am gonna get a workout in today so I am following you in. Later I'm gonna go look at a few places because lord knows I need to get outta here. Especially now. I'm working mid to late shift tomorrow. What's your day look like?" I asked, ignoring the smirk on his face.

"Well, later on Deac and me gotta do security detail for some hockey player, but who knows what'll happen first thing. Maybe you and me could train?" Luca stated. I nodded grabbed my bag, and followed him out the door. Once we got in, Hondo was already barking orders at the team. I guess they already had a call. I said hi to everyone and started on the bags as Hondo explained everything about their call. I watched as everyone headed out with their gear, my eyes lingering on Deac, before waving at street. 

I worked out for an hour and a half before I headed out. I had a few different places to go look at, which I was hoping would be a good place for me to move into. Now with me and Deac being together, I wanna be able to have to have him over without rushing or worrying about my brother. It already sucks we have to keep it from Jim. Plus, as much as I love living with him and Luca, I need my own space. I wanna walk around naked if I want and not have to worry about someone walking in and interrupting..

"Hey Luca." I answered my phone.

"Hey K you busy? How long till you gotta be at work?" I laughed.

"At the moment, not to busy, just finished eating, had a good day looking at a few places, and to answer your question I still have about 3 hours. Its 3 now, don't have to be there until 6:30. Why?" I heard him laughing on the other end.

"You remember that security detail that me and Deac had this morning, right? Well, turns out we ended up taking him to the case location cause Hondo needed help. We locked him in a car, but anyways..." He laughed, "He uh got Deac a chance to play in the ring for I guess a practice or something and that's going down in like 30, so I wanted to see if you wanted to meet us here for support?"

"Where at?" I listened and wrote the address of the ring down and grabbed a couple of coffees for Chris, Luca, Street, Hondo and Deac. It was closer than I thought and when I got out of the car, Hondo walked up to me. 

"I see they roped you into this, too." Hondo laughed. "You believe this?" I nodded my head. I felt like he was fishing for something but I am not sure if Deac wants him to know so I just shrugged.

"I mean, from what I've heard Deacon say, he played in college and stuff, so I mean I don't see why not." I smiled, handing him a coffee as he opened the door with a smirk... Okay, so maybe he already knows something. When we walked in, I could hear people yelling and cheering. You could see all the guys on the ice. I spotted Deac score and throw his hands up and shrug when he looked at the guy in front of the net. I made eye contact with him before he turned around and he sent me a wink.
