“...mikey.” 

“yeah?” 

“how long are we gonna stay here?” the boy in front of you hummed, thinking for a moment as he swirled the lollipop in his mouth. 

“until they find us.” you sighed at him, leaning your head back against the wall. you could hear rapid footsteps in the hallway, people running around yelling mikey’s name, unaware of the fact that he was sitting in the classroom they just passed by. 

he hadn’t given you much explanation when he grabbed you and pulled you into the classroom, though you think you have a basic idea of what was going on; all you could say was, it was very mikey.

“so, what exactly is the point in hiding from everyone?” 

“it’s funny!” he grinned, crunching down on his lollipop. “but also ‘cause the doors in this classroom are broken; they only open from the outside, so i’ve been waiting for someone to come by and open them from the outside.”

“huh?! why’d you drag me in here then? wait, how did you even do that?” 

“i dunno, but i just saw you and it was boring here by myself.” he shrugged, not seeming to think it was a big deal. “aaand you’ve skipped out on the last couple of meetings, so i missed you.” he pouted, a childish look on his face. “where were you?!” 

“mikey, i told you weeks ago that i would be busy studying for exams…don’t you remember?” you sighed. “i even texted you before all the meetings that i wouldn’t be coming!” 

“whatever.” mikey said flippantly, the same pout still on his face. “you owe me snacks for not showing up.” 

“okay, okay, just stop making that face.” you said, pulling at mikey’s cheeks. “you’re making me look like a bad person.”

“oi, stahppp, it hurtsss!” he grumbled. you eventually relented, sighing as you looked around the classroom. 

“even being here with someone else is boring. can’t we just leave and go get food?” 

“but i’m testing them! they have to know how to find their leader!” mikey insisted, crossing his arms. 

“but you’re literally hiding from them on purpose. how are they supposed to find you?” 

“they can figure that out themselves!” 

“right…” you answered, giving up on trying to make him see reason. you really were hungry; you hadn’t eaten since you had that milk bread from lunch, which wasn’t a whole lot of food. “if you’re insisting on keeping us here, then you’re gonna pay for my meal after this.” 

“ken-chin will pay for it, but okay!” 

“no, you’re going to pay for it. i don’t care if you’re broke; you deserve to have no money for keeping me here.” 

“hey, that’s so mean!” 

“yeah, and you’re being mean right now by not letting us go so i can eat. i ought to just-” you stood up from where the two of you were sitting to avoid being seen, “-let them see me and then tell them where you are!” mikey’s eyes widened, motioning for you to sit back down, but you stood firm, not moving from your spot. 

“oi, sit down! they have to find me on their own!” 

“no! this is ridiculous! i’m hungry and i shouldn’t have to be kept at school any longer-agh!” while you were talking, mikey grabbed your hand, pulling you down with a surprising amount of strength, making you lose your balance and topple over. 

“urgh, what the hell-...��� you suddenly cut off your words when you realized the position you were in. 

because mikey had been sitting right next to your standing form, you had fallen right on top of him, the space between your faces being very small as the two of you stared at each other. the space between your bodies was even less, and you swore that he could feel your quickening heartbeat from how close the two of you were, (you didn’t even want to think about how you could feel the warmth from his body right now). 

you knew that you should probably be clambering off of him right now and bonking him on the head for pulling you down so hard, but for some reason, your body was frozen, not knowing what to do. on the one hand, you knew you probably shouldn’t be staying here for so long, but on the other hand, you wanted him to do or say something, anything, to make you think that he wasn’t just an oblivious teenage boy, (how could he have not noticed your feelings this whole time?!)

“(y/n)...” he whispered, his breath fanning against your cheeks due to your close proximity. 

“y-yeah?” 

“can you get off? you’re kinda heavy.” at his words, you immediately scrambled off of him, your heart beating a million beats per minute, this time due to embarrassment. as soon as he got up, you slapped the back of his head, making him yell a loud ‘ow!’. 

“that’s what you get for pulling me so hard, asshole! i don’t get why you’re so adamant about staying here!” you yelled, feeling more shame and embarrassment than anger. you leaned your head back against the wall, wondering why you thought that anything would be different this time. 

it’s not normal for best friends to have feelings for each other, so why were you mad at him? 

this time, you felt the silence between the two of you to be unbearable, almost enough to make you scream with frustration. you didn’t though, instead choosing to just have your own internal monologue until you could make it out of the classroom. 

“(y/n)-chan? what’s wrong?” 

“nothing, i’m just tired as fuck. wake me up when we get found or whatever.” you murmured, laying down on the floor, not caring about the dust and first getting on your uniform. maybe if you laid down like this, the earth would swallow you up and save you from this embarrassment. 

you weren’t sure how much time passed like that, though you were sure that the silence filled the room for quite a while, only being interrupted by draken and takemichi’s yells in the hallway. suddenly, you heard some shuffling, wondering if maybe mikey was going to give up and let the two of you finally be found. 

you’d already gone too long pretending to be asleep, so even though you wanted to see what mikey was doing, you didn’t make a peep even when you could feel him getting closer to you. 

what is he doing? 

your question was answered just a moment later when you felt his hand on your cheek, brushing some of your hair out of your face, (you were hoping that your cheeks weren’t getting flushed right about now). 

“hm, i was able to hold back this time, but you really test me sometimes, (y/n).” after that, you felt his hand pull away, leaving you in much more confusion than before. what in the world was he talking about? 

a few minutes later, you heard him opening the window to the classroom, yelling for draken. when he arrived, he started chewing mikey out for disappearing for so long, which was when you decided to ‘wake up’. 

“hmm, you finally decided to give up that little stunt, mikey?” you asked, standing up and rubbing your eyes to make it seem like you were actually sleeping. “took you long enough.” 

“it got more boring sitting there since you fell asleep.” mikey answered, shrugging his shoulders. he kept the same lighthearted expression on his face as he started to get another earful from draken.

“you did this on purpose?! we’ve got stuff to do!!” he yelled, his face twisted in frustration. “it’s been a whole goddamn hour!!” 

“sorry, sorry.” 

you walked away from the two over to the door, trying to open it just to see. much to your surprise, it opened up, not showing any sign of the locked issue that mikey had claimed it’d had earlier. 

when you looked over at him, all he did was shrug, a smug smirk on his face. 

“you little shit! it was open this whole time?! i’m gonna actually kill you this time!!” you yelled, running at mikey. he swiftly dodged you and went out the door behind you, running into the hallway to get away from you. 

“catch me if you can!!” you heard him tease in the distance, fueling your anger even more. 

“when i catch you, it’s so over for you!!” you shouted, sprinting out of the classroom after him. 

as you chased him, he looked back at you, laughing and saying something that you couldn’t catch. despite the fact that you were acting so mad at him right now, you couldn’t help but admire how the light from the sunset reflected off of his skin, highlighting his playful smile and blonde locks bouncing in the air. 

you supposed that this was fine, for now. 

(mikey ended up paying for your entire meal out of his own pocket, leaving him with 200 yen to his name).

Have we met before?

Wooin Yu x FEM reader

Author's note 1: love y'all as promised I gave a bonus at the end<3

Author's note 2: pls excuse my bad English still learning little by little<3

Reqs are open

Part1,intro

The sun falls and your shift is over walking home you're deciding whether to call wooin or not. Opening the apartment door you sigh seeing the mess you forgot to clean up. Switching the lights on you head to the kitchen reheating the leftovers you had a night before. College was a bit exhausting, working while being a student drained you.

After reheating the food you sat down and started to eat your food while scrolling through your phone. You suddenly had the idea to check if wooin had an Instagram account for a little stalking to dig up some information on what he was doing when you were gone.

Searching up his name you eventually find his account, you see a lot of places most likely from his races. Reminds you how he used to race with you along the streets and how you can't keep up with him. It's actually funny how he used to be excited about doing everything with you, but seeing him a while ago he looks more serious.

Taking the paper out of your pocket you saved his phone number and decided to finally text him.

____

___________

You were now regretting your desicions mentally cringing to yourself but before you could unsend the message he replied? With a location!? Guess your going there after Friday. Finishing your food you groan, What are going to wear!? Putting your phone down and headed to the sink to wash the dishes. Sighing to yourself looking through the window the moon looks brighter.

Little did you know wooin planned something...

_____

Friday ended fast and after going through hell in campus you fall asleep. Waking up you opened your phone to see he replied again in the middle of the night "10 am" that must be the time he wants you there.

It was 8:30 so you fix your bed, have breakfast, shower and put on normal clothes, time check it was 9:30 enough time for you to to that specific location. Stepping outside to get a taxi and showing the driver the location before taking off.

At the location you see it's just a small cafe, walking inside you see him with a purple polo with his glasses still on. Walking towards wooin and sitting down across him, you spoke "it's been a while...how are you and (ex name)" wooin let out a small laugh "you know I already broke up with her" you sigh typical Wooin "anyway I thought of giving you an offer?" He spoke in a more playful way "saw you being miserable in the convenience store thought i could help out" with a teasing smirk.

"Did you seriously just lead me here to make fun of me I thought we were going to hangout?" You retorted "Of course not...maybe, but still need you for something" he answered, "anyway I want you to be the manager of the crew, schedules and planning not my thing specially health shit blah blah blah you get the point".

"Your still lazy as ever, and how much will you pay me anyway?" You complained, he went closer to your ear and whispered the amount, you were a bit shock because it was high. You eventually agreed and actually tagged along with him with the remaining time, he told you to start next week and told you to introduce yourself soon to the other members...

The job maybe weird but at least your going to get payed.

------------

After a bit of talking and stories you noticed tattoos, there were a lot of it. Honestly, it suits him you thought to yourself maybe you weren't here because you want to catch up, maybe it was something else.

Wooin still has that energetic vibe to him but it has toned down through the years his not the boy who used to get excited when you agreed to race with him.

Maybe agreeing to his offer will not be as bad as you thought......

Bonus:for pookies

Anyway thankewww!!!

[btsqualityy]

Drabble day!!! I don’t think this has been requested before but Spence and Len have a fight and Lens temper gets the best of him and him making it up to Spence. thanks so much for Drabble day Shay!! ☺️

Another anon also said: can u make a super fluffy to very smutty drabble 🤪 where spencer pranked lennox that theyre breaking up just bc he did something, and he was shocked so he just said “whatever makes you happy i guess” and he almost cried 😭 so spence had to tell him it was a prank THEN A SOFT DOM LENNOX COME TO PLAY (details pls WAAHH)

Warnings: a vase gets thrown (not at someone but it still might be triggering so I’m tagging it) smut, creampie, dirty talk, a smidge of degradation, and soft Dom!Lennox lol

“All I’m saying is that you didn’t have to let Sooyoung hang all over you like that tonight,” Spencer groaned as they walked into their shared hotel room in London, just having gotten back from an afterparty for London fashion week. While there, Lennox had run into one of his ex-flings, Sooyoung, who he had spent a considerable amount of time seeing before settling down with Spencer.

“She wasn’t,” Lennox huffed. “I wish you’d fucking trust me more.”

“I do trust you but I also have common fucking sense,” she shot back as she worked on taking off her heels. “You have never been able to deny a pretty girl. Hell, I’m proof of that.”

“You literally have the engagement ring that I gave you on your finger and you’re questioning me?” Lennox scoffed. 

“Yes, I am because why did she say something about texting you?” She demanded to know. 

“We are still friends Spence.”

“You shouldn’t be,” Spencer told him. “You used to fuck the girl, for God’s sake!”

“You still talk to Sungjae!” Lennox exclaimed. 

“He’s my ex-fiancée!”

“You’re being a fucking hypocrite and pissing me off in the process!” Lennox shouted, making Spencer glare at him. “I’ve been all about you since we started seeing each other again before you got pregnant! Of all the times, why are you suddenly doubting me now?”

“Mm, I don’t know. Maybe because I saw her holding your hand?” Spencer questioned. “Maybe because I saw the bitch kiss your cheek? Maybe because once a hoe, always a hoe Lennox?!”

“Don’t fucking say that to me!” Lennox yelled, grabbing a vase off of the table and throwing it against the wall that was opposite from where he and Spencer were standing. 

“You’re a fucking dumb ass,” Spencer spat before grabbing her robe and stomping into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her. 

................................................................

As Spencer took a shower and washed the day away, she thought back on their argument. She knew that she was wrong for pushing Lennox but she didn’t appreciate how he didn’t tell Sooyoung to step off. By the time that she got out of the shower and got dressed in her nightgown, she had come up with a plan to teach her lovely fiancée a lesson.

“Spence?” Lennox called as soon as the bathroom door had opened and Spencer stepped out. “I’m so sorry.”

“We need to talk,” Spencer said as she walked over to the bed, sitting down next to him. “I don’t want to keep arguing like this Lennox.”

“I don’t either,” he agreed easily. 

“I think we should go our separate ways,” she announced and Lennox’s eyes widened in surprise. 

“What?” He gasped. “Look, I didn’t mean to get so angry Spence. I even cleaned up the vase while you were in the shower, see?”

“I know but I think it’s for the best,” she shrugged and nothing could’ve prepared her for seeing Lennox get up from his spot next to her and get on his knees in front of her. 

“Spence, please,” he begged, placing his hands on her knees and looking up at her. “I love you. We have a family, and we’re supposed to get married. You’re the only woman that I’ve ever wanted and I don’t want you to leave me just because I fucked up.”

“I’m sorry Len, but this is what I want,” she whispered and she could see the hope leave his mind as his shoulders slumped.

“Ok, if you’re sure,” he relented and Spencer couldn’t help but to smile.

“Just kidding!” she exclaimed and Lennox’s head popped up.

“What?”

“I was just joking baby,” she assured him. “I know your heart and I know you didn’t mean it. Plus, I pushed you so it’s partly my fault.”

“Don’t fucking do that to me,” he sighed heavily, placing one of his hands on his chest. “You almost made me have a fucking heart attack.”

“I’m sorry,” she said. “I just wanted to teach you a lesson.”

“I think maybe I should teach you a lesson then,” Lennox smirked, and it was at that moment Spencer realized that she was in for it.

................................................................

“Take my cock baby, take it,” Lennox groaned, his grip on Spencer’s hair tight as he fucked Spencer hard.

“T-Too much,” Spencer whimpered, wrapping her legs around his waist and digging her nails into his back. 

“That fucking prank was too much,” he grunted, snapping his hips forward faster as he became determined to make her come. “So if I can make it through that, you can make it through me fucking you like a little slut.”

“It’s was...y-your fault too,” she stammered.

“I’ll make it up to you during the second round,” he told her. “Right now, this is your punishment. I’m not stopping until you come for me.” Lennox began to roll his hips, causing his cock to drag along her inner walls deliciously and Spencer threw her head back as she began to come. 

“Holy fuck!” She squealed, literally able to feel how wet she was getting as he continued to fuck her. 

“So much fucking cream on my cock baby,” Lennox moaned, the sheer sight of her essence coating his cock causing him to fall head first into his own orgasm. 

“Fuck me, fuck me, fuck me,” Spencer whined, another smaller orgasm hitting her as Lennox pumped her full of his cum. 

“God damn it,” he huffed, setting his forehead against hers as he looked into her eyes. 

“You made a mess of me,” she giggled. 

“You’re the one that creamed like crazy.”

“Because you fucked me so good,” she cooed, placing her hands on his cheeks. “I love you Len, and I’m sorry for accusing you.”

“I love you too, and I’m sorry,” Lennox replied. “I should’ve told Sooyoung to go away and if it makes you feel better, I deleted her number from my phone and blocked it.”

“Really?” Spencer gasped. 

“Really. You mean more to me than anybody else,” he told her and Spencer just replied by kissing him passionately.

All good boys go to Heaven, but bad boys bring Heaven to you.

Summary: Hallie Windsor doesn’t have time for distractions, fun and she definitely doesn’t have time for Matthew Tkachuk. He never gives up, and eventually they become friends, but it’s always been more than that between them. While he can be sweet, thoughtful and kind, he can also be volatile, explosive and hard to love. Hallie has to decide wether she’s willing to look past that, or walk away from him altogether.

This one was inspired by the song Heaven by Julia Michaels, which has serious Matty T vibes, and you should go listen to it.

Pairing: Matthew Tkachuk x Hallie Windsor ( Original Character)

Warnings: Swearing, mentions of sex, alcohol. I think that’s it. If I missed anything let me know ☺️

Matthew watched uninterestedly as Allie pulled her jeans up and buttoned them, slipping her feet into her shoes. As she picked up her purse she walked out of his room with a simple “bye” and then her footsteps disappeared down the hall.

A few moments later the door opened again and Noah waltzed in like he owned the place, sitting down in the chair opposite the bed.

Matthew grinned impishly “ I wouldn’t sit in that chair.”

Noah glanced down and made face leaping up “Your disgusting honestly, but anyways, was that Allie that just left?”

“Yeah why?”

“Thought maybe you would let her spend the night seeing as it’s like 8:45 already.”

“Come on Hanny. I thought you knew me better than than that.”

Noah chuckled and continued with an eye roll “ Anyways me and Carly are heading out with a few of the guys. Are you coming? “

He thought for a moment, letting out a sigh. He didn’t really want to but he would have shit to do otherwise and didn’t feel like staying in.

“Yeah I guess. Go ahead I’ll meet you there in a bit.”

Noah nodded and turned to leave but stopped

“Oh Carlys bringing a friend.” Then he pointed threateningly at him “ Don’t even think about it.”

Noah and Carly had been together for almost 2 months, and he could tell that Noah was head over heels already. He had watched Noah get his heart broken so many times that he had promised himself and God that she would never become a blubbering idiot over some dumb girl who just wanted to say she fucked an Nhler and then moved on to the next. But Noah was different, and had a bad habit of falling for the first girl who flashed a pretty smile at him.

But Carly wasn’t one of those girls. She was rude, and blunt and actually could be pretty funny when she wanted to be. Matt found her easy to talk to, and she was smart as hell, and enjoyed her company when she was at the apartment he and Noah shared.

What he liked most about Carly was the fact that for the first 4 weeks she and Noah dated casually she wouldn’t stay over. Even if it was 1 am she would gather her things and head back to her apartment. Even though the probationary period in which Carly finally gave it up was over, Matt thought it was kind of endearing that she made Noah wait, and gave him an in to tease Noah relentlessly about it, even though deep down he was happy he had found a girl who liked him for him and not for what he came with. She was a good girl, and she didn’t take any of his shit. She was hot, stunning even but she had only had eyes for Noah from the start.

They had met when the Flames did a hospital visit. She worked on the pediatric floor as a case manager and it was love at first sight. They went on a date the very next day and hadn’t been apart much since.

But all that love bullshit wasn’t for him. He was young with more money than he knew what to do with and liked his life and his heart just the way it was. He wasn’t about to lose his shit over some girl.

He showered, dressed and called an Uber after Noah texted him the details of where they were. The place was packed, girls in tight dresses everywhere and for a moment Matthew thought he might have been in heaven. A redhead immediately appeared at his side, twirling her hair around her finger as he ordered a drink. But when she opened her mouth a high pitched nasally voice came out and he couldn’t wait to get away from her.

As he turned looking for one of the guys, he spotted a girl from across the bar and immediately started scheming on how he was going to talk to her, all thoughts about the redhead flew completely out of his brain. But as he watched her, he saw her sit down with Noah and Carly he saw his in.

He left the girl who had been talking his ear off mid sentence and made his way through the crowd. He paused behind her catching Noah’s eye and pointed mouthing,

“Who’s this?”

Noah cracked an mischievous grin and leaned forward saying obnoxiously “What?!”

He glared at him, and the girl turned to look at him.

Those eyes.

A guy could get lost in them like he was currently. They were large and the color of the sea, a beautiful combination of blue and green accompanied by long lashes. She had a tiny nose covered in freckles, and wide lips set over white teeth. It took him a moment but he let out a breath and dropped into the chair next to her. She was looking at him with a look he usually got from girls after he got them into bed, and then promptly out. Disdain, disgust, he wasn’t sure but it was amusing to say the least.

“Chucky this Hallie, Hallie Chucky.” Carly’s eyes moved between them as she sipped her drink. Hallie looked at her glass and stirred the ice cubes not looking over at him.

“Pleasure I’m sure.” She mumbled.

He grinned giving her his very best smile and she rolled her eyes “I’m well known for pleasure.” She made a small noise of disgust and rolled her eyes again.

“I’m sorry is there a problem?”

She turned and frowned at him “What?”

“You keep rolling your eyes at me. But boy are they incredible. Are they blue?” He pushed his face closer to hers and saw her cheeks get red. She fought it but a smiled spread slowly across her face and she looked down tucking her hair behind her ear.

Success.

“Wow a smile! Looks good on you.”

“Leave her alone Chucky.” Carly warned. She wasn’t mad, she looked half amused half annoyed and pointed her straw menacingly at him. He held up his hands and smiled innocently.

“I didn’t even do anything.”

“Not yet. Your barking up the wrong tree. Your not even her type.”

Hallie was still blushing, and had her hair blocking her face, refusing to look at him.

“Oh come on. I’m everyone’s type.” Carly rolled her eyes and looked at Noah, but she was still smiling.

“He’s such an ass.”

“Tell me something I don’t know.”

Matthew stood and shot one last smile at Hallie, who gave him a tight lipped one back, not because his charm was working but because it was polite and she wanted him to leave.

“It was nice to meet you Hallie. Hopefully I’ll see you soon.”

He walked around the table and leaned over saying softly so Noah and Carly could hear him.

“Give me a break here. I’ll behave.” Carly swatted him away and Noah laughed pushing his chair away from the table to follow him to the bar.

“Oh boy are you in trouble.”

“No faith.” Hallie countered “I know all about Matthew Tkachuk and trust me when I tell you I’m not going to be added to his list.” Carly looked skeptical “Ever.” She added firmly.

*********

The next time she saw him was at a coffee shop. She was checking her email, minding her own business while she waited for her coffee. As the barista handed her the cup and rang up her order an arm stretched over her shoulder with a card in its hand.

“What the-“ she said turning. She was greeted by a broad chest and attached to it was Matthew Tkachuk. She looked annoyed which only made him smile more.

“That won’t be necessary.” She said turning back to the barista but she had already swiped his card and was handing him his own order. She sighed and mumbled a ‘Thank you’ before hurrying out of the shop. It wasn’t long before he had caught up with her and fell into step beside her.

“Do you come here often?” He asked sipping his coffee. It was chilly, a breeze drifting past now and again. She looked phenomenal, high rise dark jeans a black sweater tucked in, boots on her feet. He hair was curly today, falling down to her mid back.

She mumbled a response keeping her eyes straight forward.

“So do you hate all men or is it just me?” He chuckled, but was surprised when she stopped walking and turned to face him.

“I’m not sleeping with you.”

He raised his eyebrows taken aback by how forward she was.

“I haven’t asked you to sleep with me.”

She squinted her eyes at him “Even if you did. I’m not doing it.” Her eyes were solid as steel clearly unimpressed with him and his charm, or maybe just him in general, which was a little unusual for him, and had caught him off guard. He usually didn’t have to try this hard.

“Okay. Okay. Let’s start over.”

“I can’t. I have to get to work.” She turned to keep walking, but he followed. Gosh was he relentless.

“Hey listen okay you hate me I get it. We have a game this weekend. Why don’t you come. Consider it a peace offering.”

She huffed and looked away and then back to him “ if I say yes will you quit following me?”

“Yes.”

“Okay. Fine I’ll come.”

“Awesome. Give me your number and I’ll text you the details.”

She smiled then, a real one and gave a small laugh that was soft like china, and sent a shiver up his spine “ Nice try, have Noah text me the details.” She gave him a final stare as she turned and walked away from him, boots clicking on the sidewalk.

Damn she was good.

*********

“I saw Hallie this morning.” Matt said casually as he taped up his stick. Noah stopped and turned, staring at him with an unreadable expression.

“Oh yeah?” He nodded in response and heard Noah sigh.

“Chucky -“

“Relax Romeo. I’m not gonna fuck up things between you and your girl.”

“Then why do you keep pushing the issue?”

“I just-I like her I don’t know.”

Noah huffed and was quiet before he spoke again “Chucky look-“

“I don’t want to fuck her Hanny. I just want to be around her.”

Noah didn’t quite believe him but was interrupted when Johnny threw himself down.

“Are you talking about that blonde at the bar with Carly the other night? Not surprised at all. She’s exactly his type.”

“Yeah Chucky’s just making my life difficult as usual.”

Noah pouted in his stall until practice started and kept his distance for most of the morning. Matthew couldn’t blame him really. Too many times to count he had one nighted the best friend of whatever girl Noah was dating and it blew up in his face. But this time would be different.

**********

Hallie felt her phone buzz and saw a text from Noah with the game details and sighed. She didn’t want to go but she knew if she didn’t she would never get rid of Matthew Tkachuk. He seemed nice enough but his reputation preceded him and she didn’t have time for all that. Calgary was a fresh start for her and she had no plans on getting involved in whatever he was after.

She was distracted from her thoughts when another person joined her at her desk.

“If I have to crunch anymore numbers today I’m going to jump off the top of the Saddledome.”

She smiled and looked up at Jay, her favorite co-worker, and friend. Jay, who was gay, always knew how to make her smile and kept her laughing during some of the dullest moments of the day. A mischievous smile spread across his face and he leaned back in his seat, fixing her with a look

“So you and Matthew Tkachuk huh?”

Fucking Carly.

“ I have no clue why your talking about.” Hallie said lightly, not looking up from the paperwork she was doing.

His smile widened “ Really? Because I hear that he’s got it bad.”

“Well that’s his problem, and you can tell Carly I said to stop doing whatever she thinks she’s doing because it’s not going to work.”

“ You can tell her yourself, because we have a lunch date.”

Carly was already waiting for them, and immediately started in on her about Matthew, recounting the whole story to Jay about the meeting in the bar and the coffee incident.

“So what is the problem exactly?” Jay asked taking a bite of his French fry as Carly ended the story smiling like a lunatic.

“What do you mean?”

“Your hot. He’s hot. You guys would make beautiful babies.”

“ I’m not making babies with anyone ESPECIALLY not Matthew Tkachuk. Yuck.”

Jay giggled and rolled his eyes” Okay fine no babies. You should definitely let him hit it though.”

Carly started laughing and the glare on Hallies face faded into a smile.

“I love it when you smile.” Jay said leaning forward chin perched on his fist “It just reminds me that your not always a huge bitch.”

“Seriously though.” He continued as they ate “You guys are friends now right? I mean he seems to want to be anyways.”

“We’re like acquaintances. Maybe.”

“They’re friends, or at least they will be if he has anything to do with it. Besides acquaintances don’t go on dates at a hockey game.” Carly was smiling, eyes twinkling as she took a bite of her chicken, and Hallie thought briefly about reaching across the table and slapping both of them.

“NOT a date. I only agreed to come so he’d leave me alone.”

“Or because you’re friends.”

“So why not just tack on the ‘with benefits’ and be done with it.” Jay asked eyebrows furrowed.

“What is wrong with you two?”

“Oh come on. You mean to tell me you don’t find him attractive at all? He’s right up your alley.”

“What are you-He is not.”

They stared at her blankly “ Okay he’s alright. Like in an annoying way.”

Jay smiled and shook his head “Just take one for the team Hal. We all wanna know what he’s like in bed”

The day of the game came and went. She showed, as promised but refused to wear anything Calgary related, and by the time the game was over she was gone. As he exited the locker room, head on a swivel looking for her he heard Carly’s voice from behind him.

“She’s not here.” Carly said as he turned.

“She was just here.”

Noah chuckled “I think Chucky’s in love Car.”

He waved them off and pulled out his phone but promptly put it away when he remembered she wouldn’t give him her number.

Noah was making plans to have Carly over after which meant he’d have to listen to them obnoxiously having sex all night which he was in no mood for. Noah was looking at Carly with heart eyes and it made him sick. Pussy. He bid them goodbye and told them he’d see them at home, and went on his way pulling out of the parking garage setting off towards his apartment.

The ride home consisted of him thinking about Hallie and why she hated him so much. Bad boyfriend he thought, wanting to punch the guy in the face for fucking her up so bad she had already decided he was a giant slime ball without even getting to know him.

After his shower he sat on his bed and searched social media for her, feeling mildly like a stalker. He scrolled through her pages, happy to see no mentions of a boyfriend anywhere. In fact there was hardly any mention of anything anywhere and he wondered why her life was locked up so tight.

She might have been stubborn but no one was as persistent as Matthew Tkachuk.

And for the first time in a long time, he went to bed without texting a random hookup.
