chapter 10

VALENCIA

After attending a hockey game that Nova bought tickets for me, I got to meet one of my childhood old friends when the game ended.

I found out that the Senators were playing against the Penguins and Nova swore she didn't know that'd happen. Though I got to meet Jake Guentzel after twenty years, it was exciting to see him.

He looked different and new. I was even happy for him when I found out that he had a wife. He showed me a picture of her and I could tell that he was in love with her by the sweet looks he had on his face.

It was so adorable. Surely, I couldn't be any happier for him. I ended up introducing Nova to him and they pretty much got along very fast.

"Would it be cool if I could introduce you guys to my mates?" Jake asked and I looked at Nova for a moment.

"Sure." We both said and Jake quickly smiled, giving me a thumbs up.

After a few minutes, we followed him behind as we entered a huge room full of guys and their equipment was clinking loudly with each other. It reeked like sweat and ice. Nova wasn't very fond of the smell so she had to cover her nostrils for a whole three minutes before she got used to the smell.

"Guys, we have special guests here!" Jake yelled and for some reason, my stomach started churning. That wasn't a good sign as my hand began to shake gently.

"This is Nova Ramirez," Jake pointed at her and she waved. Then, he moved his hand toward me and I plastered on a smile. "and this is Valencia!"

Without hesitation, a lot of Penguins players stood and shook our hands. They greeted us with pleasure and I scrolled my eyes on each of the players until I instantly felt a familiar gaze.

A tall, broad figure stood in front of me and caught my attention with his cold hand. I quickly shivered and looked at the guy in shock.

"Hello." He said and I smiled at him. He pulled away from his hand slowly as I stared into his eyes. "I'm Sidney."

I heard a gasp behind me. I ignored it as I forced a hum. "I'm Valencia," I said through a medium French accent. My stomach melted when he smiled at me.

Suddenly, Nova placed her hand on my back and I turned. It was time to leave and I looked over my shoulder, spotting Sidney staring at me.

I looked back to Nova and chuckled to myself. We exited the room and as we were in a hallway, footsteps were getting louder and louder. I turned and saw Sidney behind me.

"I'm so sorry, Nova, but can I have her for a second?" He asked while he was out of breath. I looked over to Nova and she didn't even have time to answer as Sidney grabbed my hand.

I scoffed. "Sidney, what the hell are you doing?" I whispered. He ignored me until I found out that we ended up in a small dark room.

I frowned and looked around until he flicked the lights on and looked at me. A frown dropped off my face as Sidney stood so closely in front of me, a small gap between our chests.

"What are you doing?" I asked him and he hummed, looking at my lips. "We can't do this. I'm in a happy relationship." Liar.

"Are you sure about that?" I frowned.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I replied.

"You didn't sound like you were happy with your boyfriend when I made you satisfied in the washroom." He licked his bottom lip and I rolled my eyes.

I scoffed at his stupid confidence and it was surely pissing me off.

"This is unbelievable. Let me go." I said through gritted teeth.

"Are you sure?"

I hesitated. My mind was trapped by his question. Without hesitation, I cupped his cheeks and quickly slammed my lips on his.

I moaned as Sidney instantly reacted, grabbing my legs and wrapping them around his hips. Then, my arms made their way over his neck as we made out in the closet for a whole twenty minutes.
