Trouble in the King's Court
Chapter 2
The first month went by quick and it was a bit chaotic, but fun. Aly was having a blast being a nanny, she was breezing through grad school since it was a topic she knew well, and also going to Rangers games. It was strange for her to be allowed in the family suite, but since she was nanny to the Lundqvist girls, the Garden allowed it. Henrik also has been sending Aly sly messages, but she's been ignoring them and focusing on her work.
It's Monday, February 19th. The Rangers have an away game in Montreal that Thursday, so the team had the next three days off to rest and relax after a crazy few weeks. NYU was closed today due to President's Day and Therese took her daughters out to see "Paw Patrol Live" at the theater inside the Garden with Kaylee McDonagh and her daughter Falan, so it just left Aly and Henrik alone.
Aly came out of her bedroom in gray UGG boots, dark jeans, her Rangers thermal sweater and a oversized NHL hoodie, "Henrik, I'm heading out now! I'll be back later!"
Henrik came out of his bedroom in a pair of workout shorts and a tight white tank top, "Where are you going?"
"I'm meeting Kristina and her parents for lunch at Becco on 46th street before she goes back to Iona later tonight. I told you that last night," Aly said.
Henrik approached her slowly, "You look quite beautiful today."
"Uh, thank you. Listen, I gotta go if I want to make the 11:45 subway!" Aly rushed, grabbing her bag.
Henrik pinned her against the wall and kissed her hard. It may have been the endorphins from exercising coming out of him, but he just needed to do what he just did. He loved the way her lips felt: smooth, silky, and peach flavored from her lip gloss.
Aly pulled away fast, "Henrik Lundqvist! Have you lost your fucking mind!?"
"I want you. I need you. I am craving the hell out of you," Henrik panted, eyeing her up and down.
Aly pushed him off, "You're insane. You need a shower and some sense. I'll be back around 5."
Henrik wasn't insane. He wanted her...way more than his wife.
Kristina, her parents, and Aly had a delicious Italian lunch. Kristina's mom and dad considered Aly their second daughter, especially with the bond the girls had and the fact Kristina was an only child. While they each used the restroom prior to dessert arriving, Aly and Kristina had a girl talk.
"So, how have things been the past month?" Kristina asked.
Aly nodded, "Pretty good. School's great. Charlise and Juli are so easy to take care of."
"Girl, what is it? Tell me. Please," Kristina worried.
Aly looked her friend dead in the eye, "Hank kissed me before I came here. He just pinned me on the wall and kissed me hard."
"What!? What did you do!?" Kristina gasped.
"I pushed him off me and got out!" Aly answered.
Kristina nodded, "Good. You have to tell Therese."
"I can't! She'll fire me and I need the money for school," Aly said.
Kristina hugged her friend, "I'm here for you."
Later that night, when Kristina went back to Iona, Aly returned to the apartment around 6:45. The family ordered takeout from a nearby Chinese restaurant and there was food everywhere. Charlise came running to Aly when she entered, "Aly! I missed you! I got you a Skye doll from the show!"
"Thank you sweet girl. That was so kind of you," Aly softly smiled.
Therese looked up with concern, "Darling? Are you okay? You look flushed."
"Oh yeah, I'm fine. The cold air just makes me a little weak in my bones sometimes. I'm okay," Aly lied. She hated hiding the fact her employer's husband kissed her earlier.
Hank passed by her while heading towards the couch, "It was a bitter cold day. Take a hot shower. You'll be fine."
But everything wasn't fine and things were about to get messier, mysterious, and thrilling.
