Ice Queen

Seeing The Queen

Dawson

I arrived in the state that she's in. The state that the event is taking place in. I have packed some clothes with me and now it's getting really late. I have just been dropped off by the family's private jet. And now I need a place to stay. I know what hotel Rylee is staying in and I don't want her to see me, so I'm going to book in a different hotel.

Tomorrow I woke up at 9am. I got the news that the event doesn't start until 1pm, which is odd, but it gives me time to myself. I got out my laptop and did some work. Around noon, I decided to visit Rylee and tell her good luck. Unfortunately, the front desk told me that Rylee and her team had left to the arena already. Bummer. I turn and leave to the the arena where it's taking place.

I bought a twenty dollar ticket, and honestly it was a long wait. Upon entering the big arena, it was already full. I walk down the stairs as I see the skaters warming up on the ice, skating around. People cheer and take pictures. I then spotted Rylee and someone skating after her. Heidi. Heidi reach her arms out and grab Rylee by the waist. I felt the jealous and rage. Once reaching the lowest seats, I find one and sit down. As I look at other skaters, I always turn my attention back to Rylee. Never have I seen her performance so this is be the first.

"Skaters, please clear the ice rink. We will begin shortly."

After the announce was made, the skaters clear the rink.

Rylee and Heidi got off the ice holding hands. They sit next to each other and I feel the bitterness. Above the ice rink were four giant TVs, and guess who appeared up there. Yeah, me. I look up and didn't smile. I wave my hand then look down to Rylee again. This time she was looking back with a smile. Her smile made me also smile. Rylee stand up and make her way to me, so I figure to meet her half way. The security open the gates and allow me through to Rylee.

"Why are you here?" She ask. It wasn't a cold question, but rather a curious one. I glance down to see her in a white mini dress.

"Didn't you want me to come?" I ask back.

"It's too late, you missed two of my performance."

"At least not the last one," I smirk at her and all she did was roll her eyes with a smile. "I came here to see and support my wife," Rylee playfully tilt her head and squint her eyes. "Yes, it's surprising, but that's what I'm here for. So when it's your turn, good luck out there," I hesitantly kiss her forehead. The people nearby us 'aww' at us. I turn around and was about to go to my seat, but Rylee stop me by grabbing my hand.

"Sit by me," she said and I nod.

We went to sit down and I hold Rylee's hand. I also keep my my eyes on Heidi so she won't look at us. She didn't dare also.

"I'm happy that you came," Rylee whisper without looking at me.

An announcement was made and a pair of skaters went to the ice rink.

"I wasn't sure of coming, Rylee," I tell her.

"But you're here. That's all it matters."

"When will it be your turn?" I change the conversation.

"Two pairs after this," she answer.

"I'll be looking forward to it."

Rylee tries to hide her smile but she couldn't.

I watch the first pair perform their routine. They did jumps that were synchronize, chase each other on the rink, spin with each other. They ended with a pose when the music stop. Everyone cheer at them and threw flowers. They bow for all fours sides then exit the ice rink. This isn't really my taste.

The two up coming pairs did the same thing I've described, but there isn't much chemistry between them. Hey, I'm not one to judge because I know nothing about ice skating.

"Good luck, Rylee," I tell her and she flash me a smile before going out the the ice rink with Heidi.

They held hands and skate a lap around the rink to wave at people. They then went to the center and strike a pose and wait for the music to start. Once the music begin, Rylee turns away from Heidi. Her arms are out and she skates away from Heidi. Heidi follows from behind and takes Rylee's hands. Heidi lift Rylee up in the air for a good 2 seconds then put her down. They then did a big spin then another and another one. The crowd cheers at them as they return to chasing each other.

"The chemistry is strong," a guy came to sit beside me and made the comment. Who is he and where did he come from? "Rylee specifically chose Heidi. She knows this would get your attention if you knew. How clever," I ignore him and look back at them.

"I came here for Rylee, not because I'm jealous or anything," I answer back after a self debate.

"Rylee is preparing the divorce papers, just so you know," he continues. How clueless of you to say something that is completely false. Rylee cannot divorce me nor can I divorce her until the two year agreement is over and we still don't get along.

"She can't divorce me," I simply inform him.

"She got your parents permission."

Whoever this man is, Rylee must be tell him everything. True that I never gave her any attention, but I have never cheat on her so it gives her no permission to file such stupid papers. I stop talking to this man and just breathe as I continue to watch Rylee.

This must be one of her ways to give me a pay back and once it is over, she will run to Heidi. She drew me out here to make me see that I've lost.

Rylee and Heidi did a set of spins and then somehow, Rylee lost her balance. She put her knee down against the ice and pretend it's part of the routine. Rylee then got up and her knee is bleeding. A few seconds later, they finished their routine. They hug each other then bow then Heidi did the unthinkable. She have the audacity to carry Rylee in her arms and come forward to me. I hold back from attacking her. I get up and take Rylee from Heidi. We traded a glare before I went to put Rylee on her seat. I pull out a handkerchief, wipe the blood, and put it against the cut.

"Dawson, the paramedics are here," she tells me. I look beside me then stand up to sit next to Rylee. I watch as her knee gets bandage. Once it's over, Rylee hold my hand but I didn't hold back.

"I'm going to go now," I tell her.

"Where?" She ask.

"Home."

"We can leave tomorrow," she suggest. I take it into consideration before nodding.
