Come Closer

After dinner Khloe and I couldn’t get out of the hotel restaurant fast enough. When we reached our room, Khloe quickly shut the door behind us.

“I KNEW IT!! I KNEW IT!!” She screamed at me jumping around the room.

“You slept with him didn’t you? I need details!”

“I walked into his house, saw my phone on the table I went to grab it and James said he wanted to talk, so I sat down next him on the couch and he told me how he felt, one thing led to another and we had sex, and let me tell you Khlo, it was probably the best sex I had ever had!” I said to her digging a scarf out of my suit case and putting it around my neck covering up the souvenir that I got earlier today.

“You cool if I go to his house tonight, or do you want me to stay…go to a movie or something, we don’t have formal training tomorrow but I want to get a good workout in”

I put in a change of clothes and some toiletries into one of the gym bags that I brought.
“I don’t think you are going to need clothes for tonight, honey” she said to me laying on her bed with her elbows propping her up.

“Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do” I heard Khloe say as I walked out the door.

As I was walking down the hallway to the elevator, my coach came out of his room running into me.

“Hey! Where you off to?”

“Umm…going to the gym again, I want to practice my setting some more. "I could feel my cheeks getting red clearly I was lying.

As we were walking into the elevator and the door closed, my coach pushed me against the wall and started trying to kiss me.

“WHAT THE FUCK” I said pushing him off me.

“I knew where you were before dinner, and I know exactly where you are going now Meghan, you’re going to see James Neal” he said as we reached the lobby.

“It’s none of your fucking business where I have been and where I’m going” I silently yelled at him walking through the lobby.

“You also need to back the fuck away from me.” He sent me a smile and walked toward the bar.I got into my car and I felt my eyes start to water, omg Meghan don’t cry. Brendan and I have known each other for a long time. I wasn’t really surprised that he saw me more than friends.

I shifted the car into drive and made my way over to James’ house, somewhere where I feel safe.

When I got to James’ house he was in the kitchen getting himself a glass of water.

“Hey!” he said as he saw me walking in and closing the door behind me.

“Come here” I told him strictly.

He came over and kissed me hard.

“Look at what you did!” I smiled pulling my scarf down exposing the hickey on my neck. “Good thing Khloe was the only one who saw it.”

“I’m sorry” he pulled me in tighter and kissed me again.

“I would like a glass of some sort of alcohol please, something happened as I was walking out of the hotel”

“What” he said looking worried. Letting me go and going back to the kitchen.

I followed him and took a seat at the island.

“I was leaving my room and ran into Brendan my coach, he got into the elevator with me and started trying to kiss me so I…”

“HE WHAT?” interrupting me, his voice getting louder.

“Its fine, I pushed him and he backed off… but he found out where I was all afternoon.”

“How did he find out?” he said coming over putting a beer on the table next to me and pulling me in for a hug.

“I have no idea, Khloe wouldn’t have told anyone”

“Well that doesn’t matter now, you’re here…with me” kissing me again.

I broke away from James’ arms to go sit down on his couch, with my beer in hand.

Moments later James was sitting beside me patting his leg telling me to put my legs over his.

“You want to watch The Bachelor or Friends or some kind of girly show” he asked flipping through the channels.

I took the remote from him and changed it to TSN and we watched Sportscentre and That’s Hockey 2 Nite together.

“Do you think that Brendan could have followed me to your house.” I looked at James who was clearly into watching the night’s hockey highlights. “Because I know for sure that Khloe would not tell him and the other girls didn’t know.”

I haven't stopped thinking about it since it happened.

“If he does anything to you Meghan please tell me, I will always be here to protect you”

“I fucking love you James Neal”

I got up took his hand, pulled him off the couch and lead him upstairs.
-------------------------------------------
For the second time today James and I had sex. It made me feel so at home, lying in his bed, his sheets selling like expensive cologne and laying on his hard but soft body with his strong arms around me.

“I love you to Meghan”

Moments later I feel asleep wrapped in his arms.
