************************************************************************************
Reilly came to stand in front of Hadlee's tiny car with Jami, Desi, and Tegan. It was so tiny, he wasn't sure he would even fit in the thing. Jami and the girls were giggling at Reilly's reaction to the Fiat.

"Desi, since you're the shortest you get behind Smith." instructed Tegan.

"By a half inch" sassed Desi, but she dutifully crawled into the driver's side back seat. Tegan scooted in on the opposite side. Jami was in the passenger seat, Reilly was attempting to get in, but couldn't even fit with where Hadlee had the seat settings. Jami laughed, and leaned over pushing the seat as far back as it would go. Reilly finally managed to situated himself in the seat.

"We just have to get to campus." laughed Jami "Think you can survive it?"

"You're definitely going to have to come nap with me to help my feels." he said putting the tiny car in gear.

"Deal" she said smiling at him.

"Gag me" replied Tegan "No smiling gushy stuff. I just ate."

"We will try and behave" said Jami "I am going to laugh so hard when you are in lurv with Spoons."

"Hush your mouth" spat Tegan "I'm not going to be in lurv with anyone."

"Liar" teased Desi "I know you at least googled Spooner."

"Got to know what I am working with" replied Tegan "It kind of looks like he might be crushing on Caroline's boyfriend."

"I think I might lurv you" laughed Reilly "You are fucking hilarious. Dougie and Spoons are roadies, they share rooms everywhere we go. You get pretty comfy with your roadie."

"I try" said Tegan "So what does one wear when being forced on a blind date with a professional athlete, that apparently snuggles his roommate and likes giraffes."

"I'm wearing jeans and Davey's shirt." replied Desi.

"I guess I'm wearing jeans too." said Jami

"And my jersey" stated Reilly "18 all the way tonight. You guys will be up in the box, so whatever is fine. Bring a change of clothes with you, in case we end up going out right after the game." Reilly pulled on to the campus drive near their dorm. He parked in an empty space near the front of the dorm. He tugged his ball cap down over his eyes, climbing out of the car to let out the girls. Jami needed to go in and grab a few things before they headed to his place.
"Can we make it inside without causing a fangirl riot?" asked Tegan.

"Act normal" said Desi "Don't act so shifty." He straighten up to his full height, and walked casually into the lobby of their dorm. He was doing great until he realized, that in order to go upstairs with Jami, he had to give them his driver's license. He handed it Jami, and waited with Tegan and Desi near banks of mailboxes. It wasn't long until Jami joined them, and led him upstairs.

"See not so bad Agent Smith." smirked Jami. She was actually amazed that no one had noticed him yet. But, it was 12:30 on Saturday and a weekend they had no game so it was kind of a ghost town. Desi split off, and headed to her room on the 3rd floor. Jami and Tegan were on the 8th floor.

"So, has she told you she is totally a stalker, and has a shrine to you in our room. Because, if not consider yourself warned." spouted Tegan.

Reilly smiled at Jami who was now furiously blushing, as the elevator came to a stop. "Can't be worse than my framed pics of us from the Christmas party." Jami took his hand shyly as they walked over to her room. "No worries it's fine."

Their room looked like a sorority house exploded. The place was jumbled with shoes, clothes, sorority stuff, cheer stuff, and yes a giant wall of Reilly Smith. Every surface in the room was covered in bows, make up, hair product, and Lions. Lions? Apparently, their sorority mascot. He finally located the bed, and her desk under all the glitter.

"I know it's a wreck." said Jami "But we're never here." She was grabbing things from the bed so Reilly could sit. "Five minutes and I will be packed."

"Here Smith" called Tegan tossing him a shirt "She's got one of yours, now you have one of hers." He stared at the bright yellow shirt, it had her Greek letters, and something about Big Man on Campus. "We hand those out to the guys who participate in the BMOC, obvi you can't, but if you're gonna be bae you're gonna have to rep the letters."

"Think so?" asked Reilly "What about Spoons?"

"If he passes inspection, I might give him one." replied Tegan. Reilly stood up laughing, and pulled off his Bruins practice shirt, and shrugged on the sorority shirt. Jami was looking at him, he smirked at her. "You definitely pass inspection. Any chance Spooner's built like you or Miller?"

"What?" he asked smiling at Jami "Now I'm undercover. I could pass for a college guy, I happen to have experience being a college guy."

"Yeah, a Hobie Baker Award winning college hockey player. Not quite the same as a lowly frat boy Smith. Your poor brother living in his little bros shadow."

"Wait! Your hockey hottie has a brother? Then, why am I being set up with Spoons?" asked Tegan.

"He's in Detroit, playing for the Wings." explained Jami, pointing at the photo she had taken of Reilly and Brendan at the Garden.

"More importantly, he is a raging asshole" said Reilly "And I happen to like you. So, in the realm of single Bruins I'm limited to Spoons, Bartowski, and a few others. Trust me when I say Spoons is the catch of the bunch."

"I generally get along with assholes." replied Tegan winking at Reilly.

"I'm sure you get along with everyone" laughed Reilly "But, I think you an Spoons will be a meeting of the minds. I'm not sure who's mouth is faster."

Jami finished, shoving stuff in a Bruins duffle bag. She started to hoist it over her shoulder before Reilly grabbed it. "Um no" he said "I'll carry it." She made sure Tegan knew when and where to meet her before leaving with Reilly. "Bye Tegan. I suggest you nap so you can keep up with Spooner."

"He needs to keep up with me!" she yelled down the hall. Reilly laughed, and pulled Jami against his side. They waited side by side for the elevator. She grabbed his hand, and pulled him into the elevator as a group of girls came down the hall.

"You embarrassed to be seen with me?" he asked.

"No, but we don't want the whole cheer squad to know you're here. I love them, but they would go out of their way to embarrass me." she replied looking up at him. He leaned down, and stole a kiss as the elevator dinged signaling someone getting on the elevator. Jami stepped back into Reilly, and he put his arms around her. The guy stepping on the elevator greeted Jami. He then did a double take at the sight of Reilly, before turning back towards the front of the elevator. The guy couldn't contain himself.

"You're Reilly Smith?" he questioned.

"Nah, but I get that a lot" replied Reilly. Jami smacked him in the abs.

"It's okay Max is one of the cheerleaders." said Jami laughing "He won't out you here on campus."

"Sorry, if I cause a riot my girl won't let me on campus." said Reilly sheepishly "So, totally low profile."

"I get it man. Good luck tonight." said Max "I'm a Boston native, so was raised a Bruins fan."

"Maybe we can have a BC cheer day." offered Reilly "You guys help us with a community service project. Then, stay for a game, so you can meet the guys."

"As long as you promise to keep Miller from killing me." replied Max "I'm pretty sure he threatened my life if I dropped Miss Hadlee."

"You drop her?" asked Reilly

"Hell no!" he responded "She's a wicked good tumbler. I just stand there and catch her."

"I can manage the caveman, as long as you don't let Hadlee Belle get hurt. So, you've met Miller?"

"Yeah, I think it was Hadlee's birthday." replied Max looking at Jami. She nodded. "Plus, I've met the guy seeing Des."

"Pastrnak" confirmed Reilly "Kid is scary good." Jami led them into the lobby, and retrieved his driver's license. "Nice meeting you Max." He watched Max walk away. Cheerleading boy was built like a Looch. "That dude is a beast."

"All the guys are built like that. They power tumble, and put us up. They have to lift to support us. He was catching Hadlee, and throwing her up in Bow and Arrows and Liberties." explained Jami "She's helping me learn to do it."

"Be careful" he said opening the door to the Fiat "I like all your parts where they are." He walked around the car, and wedged himself back in the driver's seat.

"Says the guy that straps blades to his feet, and pummels other guys for a living. I like your parts where they are as well Mr. Smith."

"You know what the best thing about Hadlee's tiny car is?" asked Reilly. Jami shook her head no. Reilly stretch across the small car, his hand finding the back of Jami's head. His mouth descended on hers, she leaned into him. His tongue stroked against hers. He pulled back "Best thing ever." Jami nodded. "You got up early, ready for a nap?"

"I'm not sure I'll actually nap. I can't remember the last time I napped. Too much going on."

"Naps are one of my favorite things." he replied "Going to actual bed is another. I really like sleep, Dougie usually threatens me with bodily harm in the mornings.

"I haven't had time." she answered truthfully.

"I am making it my goal to keep you in my bed as much as possible." he stated looking at her. She flushed. She actually blushed. Reilly was used to simpering puck bunnies. "We're just going to nap."

"We all know how just snuggling went."

Reilly pulled the car to stop in a parking spot next to Quaider's BMW. He turned his dark eyes on her. "And I intend to collect on your debt. But, not on a game day."

Jami blushed, even more furiously, thinking about the night before. It had certainly not been what she expected. She wasn't sure what she expected. She heard rumors about how the players treated women. But, what she had witnessed of the guys was complete opposite of puck bunny chasing man whores. She knew that Marchand had been wild, she had heard rumors of Miller and strippers. Jami even knew that Reilly had been dating Miss Texas, when he was a Star. She wasn't sure what to make of her time with Reilly.

"I see the gears turning Jami. It won't happen until you want it to happen. I promise, best behavior." They climbed out Hadlee's miniature car, and headed into the building. Reilly had taken her hand when promising to be on his best behavior. They made their way to the elevator. He could tell she was still deep in thought. He hoped it wasn't second thoughts.

"No, I was just thinking about how the guys were with their girlfriends. It's different than the image the older ice girls instill in all the girls heads about hockey players." she answered "I know they want to make sure that there's no fraternizing."

"Well, I think the lady in charge was around when fraternizing was allowed. What the guys did during the Cup celebration has become an urban legend. People grow up, people change, hell Marchy is practically housebroken." teased Reilly

"Speaking of which, I am under orders to housebreak you."

"Me?" asked Reilly "I behave very well! Well, most of the time. I have a habit of stripping in the living room, I use the dryer as a dresser, and I occasionally lay my toothbrush on the kitchen counter. Also, I am not really the rise and shine type. You think you are up to the task of breaking me?" He winked at her.

"I'm pretty sure that's what I signed up for this morning." she replied "I quit being an ice girl, I get to spend time with the Reilly Smith." Reilly laughed, and pulled her into his embrace. He dropped a kiss on her upturned mouth.

"Not sure if you got a good deal Jami." Reilly let go of her long enough to dig out his keys. He reached for the knob to unlock the door, and pushed his way inside.

The door to the apartment flew open, making Caroline jump. She settled back in when she realized it was just Reilly and Jami.


"Damn Hamilton, when I left they were all smiling and giggling. What the hell did you do?" asked Reilly.


Jami smacked him in the chest. She ventured over to the couch and sat down beside Caroline and Dougie.


"You okay?" asked Jami "Aww, why are you crying?"


"Because, he is stupidly perfect." snuffed Caroline. Jami petted her hair.


"On that note, I think it's time for our nap" said Dougie, standing with Caroline in his arms. They headed towards Dougie's room.


"Hey Reilly Boy!" called Caroline "I wouldn't use that toothbrush!"


Reilly just started laughing. "What did you do to it, Caroline?" he asked. She started manically giggling.


"Wouldn't you like to know?" she yelled as Dougie shut the bedroom door, she heard Reilly laughing.

"Guess I need a new toothbrush." said Reilly shrugging his shoulders. Jami eyed him suspiciously. "I was running late this morning. I was going to throw my toothbrush on the kitchen counter." Jami scrunched up her nose while listening to him. Great now he had two women to fuss at him for his bad habits. "Caroline told me not to do that. So, I tossed it to her as I walked out the door."

"Gross!" exclaimed Jami "You tossed your wet, recently used, toothbrush at Caroline. It's no wonder she threatens to trade you for the rookie."

"My mouth isn't that bad." he replied.

"Human mouths are full of bacteria and germs! Nursing student remember."

"You didn't mind my mouth last night, or this morning" he fired back. Jami started blushing again. He watched the red bloom, from her face, down the collar of his shirt. She had worn his shirt to practice, and over to quit being an ice girl. Reilly had to admit, he liked seeing her in clothes. "in the Fiat or the hallway for that matter."

Jami climbed off the couch and stood before Reilly, she looked up at him. His foot height advantage was so apparent. She crooked a finger, and motioned for him to lean in closer to her. She closed the distance between them, and put her lips against his. She exhaled and Reilly's tongue slid against hers. Jami broke the kiss. "Some things are worth the risk." She moved away from Reilly. She started towards his bedroom. She was pulling the bow from her hair when she looked over her shoulder. "Coming Smith? You promised me a nap." She disappeared into his room.

Reilly made his way to his room. She was sitting on the edge of the bed pulling off her cheer shoes. Her bow was tossed casually on his bedside table, and he couldn't help but grin at her. She scooted further back on his bed. Reilly pulled the sorority shirt he was wearing off, and tossed it in the basic direction of his laundry basket. He shut the blinds, and killed the lights in the room. He climbed into the bed next to Jami. She settled herself against his chest, while he anchored her to him with an arm. "Comfy?" he asked.

"Very." she answered "Did you set an alarm?"

"Nope." he replied "I set 3 because I know myself." Jami laughed, and yawned all in the same breath. "Go to sleep baby." He kissed the top of her head "You'll learn to love naps with me."

"That might be the only way I ever nap." she answered.

"You can crash my nap anytime."

Reilly felt her nod against his chest. He still couldn't believe that she was in his bed for the second time in 24 hours. Now, he just had to keep her there. Reilly's hand was rubbing her back. Jami was down for the count before he even realized. Reilly pulled the comforter over their bodies, sleep calling to him like a siren. He moved her gently, so that they were in a spooning position, she grumbled but didn't wake up. He draped an arm around her. Sleep was calling to him, and he always answered it's call.
