Hat Trick

chapter 3

after being on the plane all day it felt good to be out in the cold city air with the boys. Coach J and coach Matt had me go to watch the boys and keep them out of trouble. I walked with them downtown and trust I've never met anyone who causes as much trouble as these boys. they ran around throwing flyers that were handed to them, running in to people and climbing on walls and railings. I didn't mind this too much as they weren't exactly causing too huge of an issue for anyone. I just apologized when they ran into people, and everything was fine in fact perfect. like having 19 older brothers, and walking around a city of fresh-fallen snow with them. Like a perfect like snow globe that nothing and no one could interrupt.

that is it was perfect right up until Cole threw a snowball right at jake's face. Spencer chuckled.

"you think that's funny, Stefani?"
said jake as he threw a snowball at Spencer. let me tell you Spencer did not look very happy. he pick up a ball of snow and hurtled it and jake, who was right in front of me, with all his might. Jake ducked and the snow hit me right in the chest. That was it, game on. I picked up three snowballs and threw one at each of them. The rest of the night Spencer and I ran arounds the city throwing snow at the other players. I had to admit it was the most fun I'd had in a long time. Spencer and I laughed until it hurt.

It was starting to get late, so I rounded up the boys, and we walked back to the hotel which was right in the heart of the city. Each of the boys slowly made it into their room. the parents saying hello and or thanking me as the shrinking group passed by. When it was just Spencer & I left he turned to me and said "Marley I had an amazing time with you tonight, I completely forgot what a good time was like until I was with you. would you like to come to my room and watch a movie and I'll make you some coffee." I put my arm him and we walk back to his room. I was happy.

On the way to his room we ran into Jordan.

"marrrrley I'm so happy to see you she said as she ran up and hugged me "
I hugged her and we giggled
"omg she whispered and eyed Spencer"
Jordan & I have had a huge crush on him since he was 14 and we were 13
she smile as I smirked at her
"we'll take later" she said, and winked as she walked away.

I turn back to Spencer and we continue to his room. He let's me into his room. "what was that all about?" he asks about all the winking and smirking that when on between Jordan and I. I laugh

"you'll make fun of me-"

"I could never make someone as beautiful, smart, & confidant as you"

I can feel cheeks turn red

"well in that case we've had crushes on you since we were 13" the pigmentation of my face getting brighter. now it's his turn to blush, but he handles it better then me he wraps his arms around me and pulls me close.

" Awh" he says, "my biggest fan" and kisses me on the forehead. he then picks me up and throws me on to the bed.

" I have an idea" he says, " how about you sleepover here tonight" as he pats the bed next to him. I take off my coat and lay down next to him. as if to say yes! I would love that!

he puts on a movie in the background as we laugh and talk, he rubs my shoulders and back too. it was so odd I had only really met Spencer a few hours ago, I meant sure I knew him my whole life but I never actually got to know him, but I already felt like I could pour my heart out to him.

we told each other everything from childhood memories to deep secrets I'd never even told my best friends. I just finished tell him about how I had over a guy in 9th grade and hadn't date since. when he pull me in,supported my neck with his hand and kissed me. "you have nothing to worry about now," he said his normally bright blue eyes looking slightly duller out of sorrow "everything is perfect now I've got you and I'd be crazy if I ever let you go."

Looking back it seems like it all happened so fast but I feel like when we met we both realized why it never worked with anyone else. it sounds really stupid but for the first time in two years I felt safe, better yet I felt like maybe I was falling with spencer stefani maybe just maybe he was the one.

I was so caught up it think about him, I had forgotten that our lips we still interlocking. suddenly I tuned back into the passion kissing. and it was amazing that is until I was interrupted by my stomach growling.

"not only can I fix your heart but I can fix that too" he said and laughed then went to order room service.

Spencer was running his fingers through my hair when there was a knock at the door. Spencer got up to answer it and the worker wheeled in at chart full of ice cream and toppings, and tell glasses of champagne.

"Awh spenc!" I said "this is so cute"

"well he said the stefani's treat our women right." he said with a quick wink.

he's such a cutie I thought as we eat icecream and shared memories from tournaments and he made me laugh so hard I almost peed.

& the rest of the night just kind of melted away as I feel asleep in his arms
