Two weeks had gone by, after a 4-3 loss to the Islanders at home it was time to get on a plane to Toronto for another road trip. The guys were feeling pretty down and Heather herself wasn't feeling her best. "This seat taken?" She asked Brooks Orpik knowing that he'd be more than happy to have her sit with him. Heather and Brooks had an odd relationship. Sometimes he'd come over to the condo and simply say something like 'you, me, sex now' other times they'd sit on her couch, drink beer and watch football. In many ways he was her relationship with Andy and Spezz all in one. "Why so glum chum?" She asked him as he sulked into his right hand.

"Did you really just ask me that question? We just dropped two straight and you're really asking me? I'm also a little surprised you use the word chum." He said to her perhaps a little more intensely than he should've.

"Sorry, maybe I should've sat beside someone a little more happy go lucky like Craig" she said mentioning perhaps the most intense player Craig Adams who was currently engrossed in War and Peace.

"Sorry it's just that we've dropped two games in a row. And it really sucks." Brooks said finally looking at her with his intense eyes.

"Do you realize how quickly your eyes go from creepy to gorgeous?" She said trying to get a laugh from him. It did get a chuckle and a grin from him.

"Yeah but who has better eyes than I do?" He said with a cocky laugh.

"I can think of a couple." Heather said with a laugh. "Like..."he asked wanting her to continue.

"Let's see, Sid, Duper, James." She was suddenly interrupted by Brooks.

"Ah yes, lover boy" he said with a smile.

"Lover boy?" She asked "where's that coming from?" She asked him.

"Oh please, everybody sees how he looks at you, he follows you around the rink like a lost puppy" he said fluttering his eyelashes. She and James were pretty close lately, especially after finally getting intimate with each other.

"I'm not here for a relationship Brooksy." She said. As if on cue James came up the aisle of the plane

"There's my girl" said James which caused Brooks to give her an I told you so look. James kneeled on the seat in front of Heather "So umm I kind of forgot to tell my family that we broke up." He said as Heathers face became angry. "They were kind of hoping to sit with you at the game tomorrow and take us out to dinner after"

"James are you serious? You told me that you were going to do it almost a month ago." She said with a pleading look.

"Woah woah woah" said Brooks holding his hands up "back the motherfucking train up a second. Girlfriend?" He asked.

"James' parents....caught us during..." Heather started "foreplay" she finished looking at her feet.

"It was the easiest way to explain it to my mom that she was my girlfriend" James said to Brooks who was howling with laughter by this point.

"So not only is Heather your girlfriend, they caught you guys doing the nasty? Oh man this is too good!" Said Brooks getting up from his seat. "The guys are going to love this one." He said walking up the aisles ready to tell anybody who would listen. James slid in beside Heather

"Look I'm sorry, my mom was just happy that I found myself a nice girl." He said looking into her eyes with a pleading look.

"Why would I be coming on a road trip as your girlfriend?" She asked him "she's obviously smart enough to know that girlfriends don't just get to travel with the team." She said.

"I told her you're a media intern" he said looking down at the floor. Media intern, the same lie she told her son.

"Oh" she said looking at her hands guiltily.

"I promise, I will tell them we broke up." He said to her.

"And when will that be?" Heather asked annoyed "after we are fake engaged ? Believe me James, I'm not the type of girl you want to take home to Mom and Dad" she said to him.

"Yeah you keep saying that but other than your profession what's so bad about you?" He asked her as her jaw dropped.

"I can't have this conversation right now." Heather said getting up walking towards the front of the plane. In a hough she sat down beside Kris.

"You ok?" He asked her.

"They will be." She said "Nealer is just prying where he doesn't need to be" she said crossing her arms over her chest.

"Oh I see" he said having a feeling he knew what she was talking about.

"I think he just wants to help. What does he know?" Kris asked his dark eyes looking genuinely concerned.

"Nothing, and that's the way I'd like to keep it" she said to him. "Not everybody needs to know I'm damaged goods." She said quietly.

"Ever think that you give off the vibe that you are?" He asked her. "I mean sometimes it feels like you want us to ask about your past" he said to her.

"I don't think I have an answer for that one" Heather said to him looking into his eyes.

"Smarter than I look" he said with a smile.

Heather turned down her sheets at the hotel that night. She really didn't feel like going to a team dinner with the guys. She was still mad at James and wanted to calm down before she saw him again. She had turned on the tv to see The Notebook playing on some women's channel. She loved this movie. Suddenly a heavy knock was at the door. 'Please don't be James' she prayed as she got up from the bed. She answered the door. It was a very tired looking Geno. She opened the door right away greeting him with a hug. "Geno! Come in" she said closing the door as he went to lay down on the bed. She followed him curling up beside him on the bed rubbing his chest in circles with her hand.

"You not go to dinner either?" He asked her

"Nope. Not hungry. And I'm avoiding James." She said with a frown.

"What Lazy do?" He asked her picking up stray strands of her hair and dropping them.

"He just...is prying too much" she said. "He keeps asking about my past and I just don't want to talk about it."

"Oh. Ok" said Geno. That was something she liked about him. He was a simple guy in the fact that he'd listen and not ask questions. "You know he like you a lot" he continued.

"I know Geno but I'm not there. I'm Not exactly here to find a husband." She said with a laugh looking at him.

"No because you are wife to all the boys." He said with a smile. "You look after us, make us happy when sad, you married penguins" Geno said with a laugh.

"I guess so" she said with a smile. She hadn't thought of it like that. He so innocently explained it to her that it almost made her job seem innocent. Almost.

"Hey Geno, get out you mothafucka" she heard a distinct French voice say from the door. It was Flower back from dinner with Tanger. Geno got up with a laugh

"Hey Flower, I have sex in your bed" he said as he walked out of the room.

"Did you guys really?" Flower asked as he started to undo his tie and take off his shoes Tanger doing the same.

"Nah, not this time anyway" Heather said with a wink.

"Good, I think the bed is going to be a little full tonight anyway" Tanger said purring into her ear before capturing her mouth in a searing, hot kiss. Suddenly from behind her she felt another pair of hands cupping her breasts from behind pressing himself against her ass. Flower slid her tank top over her head exposing her bare breasts

"Mmm no bra. Must've read my mind Cherie" Flower said into her neck as he kissed down to her shoulders twisting her nipples with both hands. Both men began to remove their shirts and pants before removing Heather's as they moved as a cohesive unit to the bed. Laying on their sides Kris grabbed her leg pulling it over his own before taking his boxers off and sliding himself into her. Flower continued to fondle her breasts and kiss her neck while grinding her from behind. Perhaps it was the French nothing's being whispered in her ear, or the way four hands were working on her body, Heather became lost in a haze shouting both of their names and even a few things in French herself.

They continued like this for a bit until Flower moved from her side to lay on his back and remove his boxers. Heather slid away from Kris to move over to where Flower was on the bed and took him fully in her mouth before Kris lined up behind her and pounded home with his cock. She knew she wasn't going to last long being so turned on from sucking on Flower while being fucked from behind by Kris. Heather licked and sucked at his cock while moaning into it like it was a microphone while Kris buried himself balls deep over and over. Heather was first to orgasm with Flower coming soon after. She swallowed his hot load and collapsed on his chest as Kris continued from behind finally coming himself with a loud roar. The three collapsed in a sweaty heap on the bed. After a few minutes of panting and catching their breath Tanger kissed the side of Heather's head.

"First French twist mon chere?"
