Long Way Home
Trip
Holly POV
“Every once in a while she tweets me” Jamie said with a shrug.
“What does she say?” I asked “Why not just text or call if she has something to say?”
“I don’t know baby,” Jamie said massaging a circle into the back of my hand with his thumb. Out of all the people back home that shut me out when I married Jamie my sister was the most disappointing one “She asks how you’re doing, usually she DMs me but I guess she decided not to this time” He added.
“Why not just call me? Or text me?” I ask confused.
“I guess she feels bad Hols I don’t know. It’s usually just a how are you guys type of conversation” Jamie said. I let the conversation drop knowing that my family wasn’t Jamie’s favorite topic of conversation. We boarded the plan a couple minutes later and the mood in the plane seemed to shift. Most of the guys went to sleep including Jamie. I could see Tyler sitting a couple seats away and he was wide-awake. I could see his leg bouncing up and down and I could tell he was nervous about something. I got up from my seat and headed to the empty seat next to him.
“What’s wrong?” I asked him while I plopped myself in the seat next to him.
“Nothing” he answered without looking at me.
“Tyler Paul Seguin you are a horrible liar” I said poking him so he would look at me.
“It’s nothing Holly, I’m just an idiot that’s all” he said, his voice softening a little.
“Is this about Sara Ty?” I asked hoping me and Jamie didn’t push this too far.
“Maybe, I don’t know Hols. I really like her, more than I’ve ever liked anyone. I’m not sure if she feels the same way or if it’s a good time but she I really like spending time with her and taking to her.”
“Did you talk to her about it?” I asked.
“Yeah well not directly but this isn’t the first time I talk to a girl Hols and I thought she was interested but this thing with Mark just threw me off” he said running his hand through his hair in frustration. I looked at Tyler and he looked so stressed, I couldn’t hold it back anymore. I let out a big laugh, which cause Tyler to look at me like I was crazy.
“Ty Mark’s gay” I said. He didn’t say anything but instead blinked a couple of time as if he needed to restart his brain in order to register the information I just gave him. He got up without a word and I thought he was going to take a minute to himself but he walked over to the seat where Jamie was sitting and punched him in the arm. Jamie woke up with a startle looking around for his attacker.
“What the fuck was that for?” he said when he eyes landed on Tyler.
“Mark” Tyler said with a smirk.
“Aww Holly told you?” he said looking behind Tyler at me. I raised my hands in surrender.
“He was getting pitiful,” I said making my way back to my seat next to Jamie.
“You’re no fun,” he said with a fake pout.
“She’s my new favorite Benn” Tyler mumbled before going back to his seat.
“I’ve always been your favorite” I call after him, which earns me small laugh from both Jamie and Ty.
“Did I tell you I hate Toronto? Please don’t let them win tonight,” I said to Jamie once we got to the hotel. We were lying in bed because Jamie was trying to get his pre-game nap in. His head was resting on my shoulder and I was running a hand through his hair. I knew he wanted to sleep but the rivalry I grew up with was starting to creep it’s way into my mind. Jamie’s body shook as he let out a laugh.
“I’ll try I promise” he said.
“Do you need some extra motivation?” I whispered in his ear, this got me his full attention.
“Hmm and what would that be?”
“Win the game and we’ll have a special celebration after” I whispered seductively.
“Every once in a while she tweets me” Jamie said with a shrug.
“What does she say?” I asked “Why not just text or call if she has something to say?”
