31. Tyler

As I arrived at the rink, I am completely aware that I look like the town idiot for grinning way too much. Yup! I haven’t felt way too excited in my whole damn life.

In the past couple of months I was a complete dick for not appreciating the fact that I am going to be a father. But now, right after I saw my son on the grainy monitor at the hospital earlier today, an overflowing happiness flood into my system. Caused me to be horny as fuck and decided to make Keya as lunch when we went back home.

Yup! We just hooked up.

I was kind of surprised on what I did but she brought me happiness that I have always been anticipating for so long and that is becoming a father myself. I may have not feelings for her except on pure lust but, we’re having a baby so there’s no problem if we chose to hook up once in a while right?

To be honest, I have been fantasizing about her since last night. I even slept in bed with the mere thought of her naked the whole time but we can’t have sex, obviously, she’s almost six months along. I don’t want to hurt my baby!

As I hit the ice Martin and Niko skated their way towards me, I already know the reason why. They know that Keya and I went to the OB today for the ultrasound since I told them just so they can cover me up to tell the coaching staff that I will be late for practice due to some business emergencies.

“How was it?” Martin immediately asked when they made sure that no one can hear us.

“What’s my soon to be godchild’s gender?” Niko added.

I snorted. “Who told you that you’re going to be a godfather?”

“Me.” Niko confidently answered. “And you’ll have nothing to do about it. I’m going to talk to your baby mama about that!”

“So what’s the gender?” Martin asked completely eager to know.

I smiled like a complete idiot and dropped the news. “I am having a baby boy bro!”

After saying those words both of my friends slapped me on my shoulders, gave me light hugs while constantly chirping me out. Our other teammates from afar stared on us completely wondering what was going on but we chose to immediately hush it down and pretend that nothing happened.

Later on, our training staffs and coach arrived and the scrimmage began. I didn’t have much time to warm up though but that’s okay!

I’m playing against Jamie, alongside Niko. It is still the pre-season but obviously my team is working so hard to perform better on the ice. We wanted to win this season, we want a back-to-back win!

Tomorrow we are facing the Switzerland for game one of the series.

Yup! McCovey’s team. My ex fiancé’s fiancé.

I want to win against that guy so bad, in every way possible-- on and off the ice. I want him to know how it feels like to be betrayed on, to lose and to feel like shit! Now that Elise and I are having an affair, for sure that if I spit that back on his face he’ll be devastated.

“Tyler, heads up!” Somebody behind me called and the next thing I knew, I was smashed into the boards causing my vision to blur and to make my back ache a lot. I was not able to get back up due to the throbbing pain.

“Shit!” That’s the only word that came out of my mouth because I definitely know what this incident will get me. No game! The team’s physician came to check up on me and the rest of the team staffs.

When we reach the mini-clinic in the headquarters, our team physician broke the news and I was definitely right.

“I’ll be fine! Tomorrow when I wake up this will be nothing.” I disagreed.

“No Tyler, we can’t lose you during the series. It’s still game one, we can still afford to bench you for the next two games.” The physician said. “This is just for precautions and making sure that you’ll be fine to get bruised when you hit the ice next time.”

I only sighed, because all along he’s right. Its fine if I can’t play the first two games though, game three and beyond is where the intense game is at so I might just agree then. But it is still a huge bummer if I’m honest.

When I got back home, a delicious smell coming from the kitchen welcomed me and as I follow the smell I saw Keya busying herself in my kitchen getting something in the oven. I didn’t make any noise as I observe her busying herself.

I lean on the doorframe instead looking at her bending over the oven giving myself a nice view of her ass. I sighed when I wasn’t able to help myself from thinking naughty thoughts about her. She turned right away when she heard me!

“Jesus! You scared me.” She exclaimed.

“Hi.” I said as I slowly walk towards her. Keya is totally starting to grow on me I don’t even know why! In the past couple of days she always hunts me on my dreams.

“I hope you don’t mind.” She started explaining. “I just wanted to thank you for accompanying me earlier so I decided to make dinner.”

“What are you cooking then?” I asked as I stood next to her looking at the oven.

“Mince and dumplings. Have you tried this before?” She asked just in time the oven dings. “How was your practice?”

“Not good.” I said surprising myself that I actually start having a normal conversation with Keya. “I can’t play tomorrow.”

“Oh that’s too bad. Why? What happened?” She said licking her thumbs and with that I couldn’t help myself but grab her hands and lick the rest of her thumbs that has sauce on it.

She was totally surprised on what I did but instead of complaining or anything she just snorted. “Prepare the tables Tyler.”

But I didn’t listened, I slowly grab her ass and kiss her. She kisses me back planting her two hands on my neck and drag me with her but then again I flinched as I chuckled.

“Oh my Gosh, what?” She exclaimed as she stops kissing me.

“I actually got a little injury during the scrimmage, my back kinda hurts.” I explained.

“My apologies! Why didn’t you tell me right away?” She replied. “You sit, I’ll prepare the table.”

“It’s fine. I can still move. I’ll help you out.”

Once Keya served our dinner I didn’t hesitate on devouring it. It smells really good and it’s been awhile since the last time I ate a proper home food. I heard Keya chuckles on the chair across from me.

“What?”

She shakes her head. “Nothing! I’m just surprised, haven’t you eaten something in like two days?”

I smirked. “Babe, I’m a hockey player. I eat a lot, plus this is the only time I’m going to cheat during the season. Eating prescribed food by the nutritionist sucks! So thank you for making this. It’s really good by the way.”

“Glad you like it.” She said smiling. “So are you staying home tomorrow?”

“No. I still have to attend the game.” I replied, even if I won’t be playing tomorrow it is still nice to see the game just for me to observe it myself on the things I should do once I’m back on the ice. Switzerland is our greatest rivalry and one of the best teams in the league so being able to study their strategies and move on the ice first hand is a great move. “Why? You’ll be in school tomorrow right?”

She nodded. “I’m defending my thesis proposal tomorrow actually.”

“Good luck on that. I don’t know what does it feel like but I have a sister who bitches about it when she was in college herself.”

“You have a sister?”

“I have two younger sisters. Andy and Cassie.” I replied. “You better get to bed now, you need to rest.”

“No. I’ll wash the dishes.” She insisted but I stopped her.

“My parents taught me good manners Keya. If someone cooks for you, wash the dishes.” I said. “Besides, you have to prepare for school tomorrow.”

“But your back hurts—“

“It’s fine. It’s just dishes.”

She was kind of hesitant to leave me at first but decided to agree at the end. “Okay. Thank you Tyler.”

“You’ve been saying that a lot of times now.” I replied smirking and walked towards her. “Thank you Keya.”

And I stupidly kissed her forehead again!
