Overlooked

I spent the day hanging out with Luke’s family while Luke completed his pre-game routine. I met them for lunch and was surprised when they introduced me to Amelia, a friend of the family who had flown in to see the game tonight. She apparently was his neighbor all of their lives and she did not look happy when introduced to me.

“Nice to met you Amelia.” I said and she gave me a short smile and asked where Luke was.

“He will see you guys at the game and then after the game. He had to go to morning skate and then I believe he was napping at my place. Since Brayden and the rest of the guys aren’t flying to Vancouver until tomorrow morning, we are all going out tonight again.”

Amelia leaned over during dinner and asked how long we had been together. When I answered her, she just smiled. “So not that long huh.” She said and I got the feeling it was going to be a long night. After lunch, we went back to Luke’s place and hung out, just killing time. I ran home to take a shower and Luke was up, eating the pasta I had made last night.

“So why didn’t you tell me Amelia was coming?” I asked and he looked surprised.

“Did she really? My parents didn’t tell me she was. That’s awesome. I haven’t seen her in a while.” He quickly grabbed his cell off the kitchen table and called her. They had like a twenty minute conversation and I grabbed clothes and took a quick shower. I had made sure I didn’t have to work all weekend so I could hang out with everyone this weekend. I slipped on the most wicked black lace demi-bra and black lace boy shorts before sliding on a pair of tight jeans, a black long sleeve shirt and heels. I left my hair down and sat in Luke’s lap before giving him a long kiss and leaving to go back to his place. Jealousy was definitely getting the better of me.

Instead of going right back to his place I went to the mall and shopped, trying to make myself feel better. Amelia was hot, about five feet, ten inches tall with killer green eyes and dark hair. She definitely had made me self-conscious.

By the time I made it back to his place, she was sitting on the floor playing a game with the girls and his parents were sitting in the kitchen talking. I kind of felt out of place and went and laid down on his bed for a while. I feel asleep, and Macy came in and woke me up at five-thirty. “Come on sleepy head, we are getting ready to leave.”

I jumped up and fixed my hair and put back on my shoes. I had to smile when I walked into the living room and saw Amelia’s outfit for the night. She had on a short skirt and fitted top, clearly over-exposing her fake boobs for all to see. She scoffed when she saw my shoes, telling me that I was in need of a pedicure. I just shook it off as Madison glared at her.

We drove to the rink in two cars, the girls with me and Amelia with his parents. The girls tried to could tell I was a little upset even though I was trying to hold it in. “Its ok Carly, she has been his friend since they were babies.” Madison said and I just nodded.

I took the girls from our seats down to the ice and spent time on both sides, watching Luke practice first. He actually noticed Amelia first which pissed me off, then on the second turn around, saw me and the girls, eagerly slamming himself into the boards to scare the girls and blowing me a kiss. Joff just scowled at me and I smiled remembering the marks I had left all over Luke last night. Amelia stomped back up the steps and the girls and I made it around to the Flyers side of the practice rink. We waved to the guys we knew and soon enough they were starting to announce the starting line-ups.

Brayden had a goal in the first period which I just had to cheer for. He was adorable and so excited it was hard not too. In the end, the Flyers won 4-1 and I’m sure it was killing Luke. Amelia and I met him down by the locker room with Macy. The rest of his family had went to meet Brayden. He came out showered and looking slightly down. He gave Macy a long hug and then Amelia grabbed him and hugged him tightly telling him how well he played . I just stepped back and waited. He gave me an apologetic look before hugging me and leading us towards the visitors locker room.

His parents took the girls back to the hotel and we headed straight for the bar. It was a mixture of both teams and I ended up a table with Luke, Brayden, Amelia and Wayne Simmonds. We did a few shots before Amelia got up and dragged Luke down to dance with her. She had her ass pressed against him and I wanted to smack her but I held my cool. He came up quickly and sat down beside me rubbing my leg. A few shots later I was starting to get my liquid courage. Wayne and I had been talking about music for a while before I overhead Amelia giggling about a tree house the boys had when they were little and how it was the first place her and Luke kissed.

I looked up and Brayden’s jaw dropped. I excused myself to get a drink and he followed. “Carly, they dated a few years ago, back when Luke was like 18. It has been over for awhile." I just nodded my head. There was no way in hell Amelia was over it. Another dance song pumped through the crowd and everyone started to move towards the dance floor. Luke held me close to his body.

“She is old news, but we have been friends for years.” He said softly as he kissed my neck. She cut in a minute later and Wayne grabbed me to dance.

“You ok?” He asked and I nodded. We danced, a safe distance apart, which is more than my boyfriend was doing. His hands started to drift towards her ass and I started to walk off the dance floor and Joff grabbed me.

“Oh no you don’t. I want my dance.” He said and I danced with him for a few minute minutes. I was very surprised he was so well-behaved during that time. We ended up heading back up the steps for a beer. We stood by the railing drinking it as I watched Brayden try to cut in on Amelia and Luke and her wave him off. Her mouth went for his and I watched him pull back slowly and look up. I just happened to be on the other side of the VIP bar and he didn’t have a clear view of me. When he didn’t see me, he didn’t push away her second advance.

I put the bottle on the table and Wayne gave me a hug, I let the guys know I was leaving and left through a side door. Joff was right behind me and walked me home, brushing the tears off my cheeks. “Please don’t cry Carly. Do you want to stay at my place. I will sleep in the guest room, come on.”

We got back to his place in a few minutes. I was a little buzzed but not drunk. He was sober. He handed me a t-shirt and shorts, which I threw on in his bathroom. I feel asleep quickly, comfortable in Joff’s bed. He stayed true to his word and stayed in the guest room.

I woke up around six o’clock in the morning and couldn’t wait any longer, I headed back to Luke’s place ready to ream him out for letting her kiss him. I put my key in and immediately noticed them both asleep on the sectional. I didn't even try to wake them up.

I closed the door quietly and headed back to Joff’s. He could tell by the look on my face what had happened and didn’t even try to reason with me as I grabbed him and kissed him, my hand dancing along his chest.

“Carly, no. I can’t do this. You are mad at him. You know I want you, but not because you are mad babe." He said looking annoyed.

“Joff, shut the fuck up and make me forget him and I promise you can have me.” I said. He shook his head no and went back to the bedroom slamming the door.

Notes

Uh oh..... Poor Carly.
