Maddie

Is Wow not enough of a word to describe what happened last night. I mean everything I could have imagined and then some, and it was perfect. I was still smiling as I finished showering. Jack took off this morning while I was still asleep but left me a note saying he was going to get us breakfast. He could have made breakfast, but since I wore him out he probably didn't have the energy.

I giggled thinking about it.

All that time wondering and now I knew, Jack Crabb was the ultimate Panty Dropper, and he was all mine. I finished getting ready, I wanted to look at least passable when he got back and not like someone coming off a three day bender, and looking in the mirror, I would do.

I was just walking out to the living room as he was walking in, and he looked as good disheveled as he did cleaned up. He had a day's worth of beard and it looked good on him and his hair was still a mess, but I was already planning on running my fingers through it and grabbing on tight, easy girl, slow down.

"Hey you," he said walking in carrying a bag and a drink carrier.

"Hey you back," I said walking up to him while his hands were full and latching onto his mouth with mine. His manly scent was intoxicating and I wanted to strip him bare and do what we did last night again.

He broke the kiss with a smile and then he held the bag up. "I'm starving, so I grabbed enough food for four people, hope you have an appetite."

"Oh I do have an appetite," I said pressing my body tight against his. I was acting a little slutty, but it was fun getting that look from him. Then I smiled and took the bag and ran to the table.

He was still shaking his head and smiling as he joined me. He had four drinks in the drink carrier, so I grabbed the one I wanted, and left him the other three to choose from. Then I put all the food on the table and he wasn't kidding he grabbed enough food for four. I took a bagel with cream cheese and left him to sort through all the meaty options he bought.

We sat in silence and ate for a bit. It was a comfortable silence, not one of those awkward ones, and it just felt right. I looked into his eyes and I could still see a fire there so I knew where we both still stood, but our other hunger was calling to both of us at this point.

"So," he said and I wanted to laugh to see where he was going to go with this. "Um, if I don't get a contract at the end of the season I was thinking of just finding a job somewhere around here. Do you think you would be interested in a roommate?"

"Oh, that's so sweet, so stupid, but so sweet." I said getting a look in return that made me laugh. "Jack, you have already had NHL teams calling about you. You are going to be sought in free agency by a lot of teams. Your days of playing Hockey are far from over."

"Maddie, I want to be with you. I don't want to be on the west coast and never see you or down in Texas or something, I want to be here. I mean at least Buffalo I can drive to you, but anywhere else it's too far away."

"Well let's not tell anyone that or you won't be worth as much in free agency mister. Besides you could play in New York, and that's not too far a drive." I said knowing it was a lie, but I didn't want to ruin his dreams.

"Maddie Maddison, are you listening to me, I want to be with you. If I don't stay with Buffalo I'm going to do something so I can be here." Jack said and I was caught up in his emotion.
