The Captain and the Rockstar

After seeing that angry side of Chris, for her own safety, Aly felt it was best to stay away from him for a few days. She was really happy to be spending time with Don after so long apart, plus now that his divorce was finalized just before the pandemic began, they could really be together and no one in their way...at least that's what they thought.

Aly and Don were cuddled up in his bed after some much needed and wanted sex. He smiled down at her and kissed her nose, "So, does this mean we're official?"

"Don, of course it does, but I must confess. I had been in love with you from the moment we met last summer at Scripps, but I knew you were married and could never say anything. That night in Germany was unlike anything I ever did before, but now that we can finally really date, I'm so damn happy," Aly beamed.

"I've always loved you too and Germany was the icing on the cake. You are literally my perfect match- you love travel, history, Yankees baseball, good food and wine...you're the perfect girl," Don smiled.

Aly's phone dinged and it was a message from Chris. She looked at Don, hesitant, "Uh, this is Ashley, my producer. I gotta take this."

"No problem. I'll get started on dinner," Don said, putting on his shorts before heading in the kitchen.

As soon as the coast was clear, Aly called Chris, "What the hell do you want?"

"I texted you six times and called you twice. What's going on?" Chris asked.

"Why are you so obsessed with me? You know, I have a life and so do you. You need to work on getting ready for the playoffs and I have a song release party to prep for," Aly grunted.

There was an obvious pissed off tone in Chris' voice, "And who was this mystery man in the park? Are you sneaking off?"

"Chris Kreider, we are NOT dating. What the actual fuck is wrong with you? Stop stalking me," Aly defended.

"I just want to make sure you're okay. You need to tone it down a notch," Chris snarled.

Aly was now livid, "ME!? You are following me everywhere I go! I can't even meet up with an old friend without you getting pissed off at me." Aly knew if she admitted that she and Don were now dating, Chris would implode.

"So, what the hell are you gonna do about it?" Chris fought back.

"I will fucking report you to the police AND the NHL about your stalking if you don't stop. You're getting way out of line now," Aly warned.

Chris evilly laughed, "Nice try, but they'd never do anything about the squeaky clean image of the Rangers captain. I need to go now and remember, I'm watching you."

Aly dropped her phone on the bed, shaken with fear, but she didn't want to tell her new boyfriend just yet. Don tapped on the door, "I made BBQ chicken quesadillas. You hungry?"

"Huh? Oh yeah, I could eat," Aly nodded.

Don walked over and kissed her forehead, "I love you and I'm so proud. I'm never letting you go."

Aly knew she could trust Don, but Chris was a man scorned. How far does he take it? What lengths is willing to go to make her, his?
