Between Friends Chapter Twenty

I can't believe this is chapter twenty already. Yay for me. lol


All my fears about moving in with Jordan were quickly put to rest in the first couple of days. since preseason was only a few days away he was already trying to get into his pregame routines, most of which weren't a whole lot different than when he played his junior hockey, thank god. The preseason came quickly and it didn't seem long before I was giving Jordan a kiss before they headed off to Westpoint for their team bonding weekend. They weren't allowed to bring phones so I knew that unless someone broke the rules that I wouldn't be hearing from him until they got back into town. It did miss him but I knew that I was going to have to get use to it if this was going to work. I flopped down on the couch and tried to find a movie to watch to no avail. I put the remote down and decided to make my way to bed early. I put my phone on the end table and went to shower and change into my pajamas. As I jumped out I heard my phone ringing but I didn't make it to it in time before the voicemail picked up. I ran over and grabbed it so I could check the caller id. It was showing Max's phone number. I called my voicemail and listened to the message that he left.



" Bonjour Ma cherie. I snuck my phone in with me and I wanted to call and see how you were doing. Jordan say's hi and to tell you that he misses you. I've got to go before I get caught and get reamed out. I'll talk to you later."



I found myself smiling at the sound of his voice. Even though it wasn't Jordan it was the next best thing. I occupied myself for the rest of the weekend with unpacking all of my stuff and making sure that the house was presentable. They finally came home and I had to hold myself back from attacking him at the door. I did however give him a kiss and a hug before he made his way inside.




" You know it's going to be really nice to come home to that." he said as he kissed my neck and smiled at me

"I can think of even better things to do when you get home." I said as I grabbed on to his shirt and pulled him towards the living room.

" Really? And what might that be?" he asked with a smile on his face

" I think that it's better if I show you than try to explain it."

I fell onto the couch, pulling him on top of me. We started to kiss and I was just about to take it farther when I heard a phone. Jordan groaned into my neck and sat up. He fished his phone out of his pocket and frowned when he looked at the caller id but he anwsered it anyway.

" Hey Talbo. What's up man I'm kinda busy right now."

" No I think we're going to stay in tonight."

" Fine. You have to ask her yourself." he held out the phone to me. I raised my eyebrows at him but he didn't say anything as I took the phone and greeted Max

" So I was just telling Jordan that some of the guys were meeting up at Diesel to hang out before the preseason started and I want you two to come."

" I don't know Max."

" Please? I promise that'll have a good time and some of the other girlfriends are going to be there."

How could I say no to that pleading voice.

" I guess we can come but we probably won't be stay long."

" Great I'll meet you guys there."

I hung up the phone and handed it back to a very unhappy looking Jordan.

" I'm sorry babe. I promise that we will stay for a little while and than we can finished what we tried to start and I guarentee that it will be worth the wait."

" Fine." he said trying not to pout

" Now let's me up so I can change into something more appropriate."

I jumped up and ran upstairs. I quickly went through my stuff and decided to wear my favorite pair of jeans that made my ass look fantastic, a low cut black top and a black pair of heels. Jordan ended up wearing the t-shirt and jeans that he had come home in and we headed out to the infamous nightclub that I had heard so much about. We arrived and quickly found a parking spot. He didn't really say anything to me so I knew that he was still mad but honestly I was glad to get out of the house. And more importantly I was curious to meet some of the girlfriends of his teammates. I started to head for the line that was formed outside the front door but he quickly grabbed my elbow and steered me to a door that was located in the back. It felt strange to me when the bouncer waved us in without even a second glance. We were immediately escorted to the vip section where a bunch of his teammates and significant others were already waiting. I saw Max in the far corner of the room talking to a petite blonde who seemed to be hanging on his every word. I decided that it would be a good idea to mess with him so I sent him a text

" Srsly that's the best you could do?"

I watched as he pulled out his phone and looked at the message. He brought his head up and started to look around and when he finally saw us he smiled. He got up and headed over to where we were standing without a backwards glance and to say that the girl was pissed would be an understatement. After he greeted us I was led over to where everyone else was and introduced to everyone that I hadn't already met. I was introduced to Marc and Tyler's girlfriends, Veronique and Kelsey and I was pleased to find that they were both very nice and down to earth. Jordan offered to go to the bar to get us drinks and I gladly accepted and while he was gone I anwsered all of the questions that the girls had for me. By my third drink I was willing to let myself be pulled of the couch so I could join them both on the dance floor

Max's Pov

I watched as she was dragged out onto the dance floor by Vero and Kels. I could tell that the two of them took to her right away, which is exactly what I expected to happen. I couldn't tear my eyes away her as I watched them dance. The jeans that she was wearing hugged her curves and ass perfectly and the way that she was moving her hip to the beat of the music was hypnotizing. I was still sitting in the same spot when she came over to me.

" Where's Jordan. I want to dance with him."

" I think he headed over to the bar to get another beer."

I saw her eyes narrow as she looked in the direction that I had motioned to. I followed her line of sight and I saw Jordan standing at the bar drinking a shot with some skanky looking girl. Before I knew what the hell was going on I was being pulled off the couch and onto the dance floor. She wrapped her arms around my neck and started to dance close to me, all the while looking over my shoulder. She let go and turned around so that her back was facing me and she leaned back into me as she moved. I knew that she was putting on a show for him and that it had nothing to do with me in the slightest but I still couldn't help responding as she reached around and wrapped her hand around the back of my neck. I inhaled her scent and I was almost tempted to kiss her but a hand on my shoulder stopped me.

" What the hell is going on?" A very pissed off Jordan asked me. I honestly didn't know what to say but thankfully I didn't have to worry about it. She pushed her way in between us and as short as she was she made every effort to get into his physical space.

" I wanted to dance but you were to busy with your new skanky looking friend over there so I asked Max to dance with me." she yelled at him

" She's not my friend just some fan and I didn't want to be rude. I drank the shot and came right over here looking for you." he said throwing up his hands. The last thing that I needed was to be dragged into the middle of their fight and I tried to make an escape but that didn't work

" And you Talbo,what the fuck were you thinking?" He asked turning his angry glare on me.

I held up my hands in an effort to show the much larger man that I didn't want to fight. He took a step closer to me. Luckily Sid was there and he slid in between us before anything happened.

" Come on guys. Let's not do this here. Mario will have both of your ass's if we get any bad press.

" You, take her home. You can finish your discussion either in the car or at the house, I don't care which.

I looked over to where she was standing with her arms tightly across her chest.

" I'm not going anywhere with him." she said in a tone of voice that ment the night was not going to end well.

" Fine do whatever the hell you want. I'm going home." With that he turned around and stormed off

I knew what she was going to ask me before I even turned around and even though I knew without a doubt that I should say no there was no way that I could leave knowing that she didn't have a place to go.

" You can stay at my place tonight but tomorrow you have to go home and talk out this shit with him. "

She nodded her head gratefully and followed me out of the club and to my car.
