EMMY
I’VE BEEN around a lot of penises in my life, but the one six inches away
from my face is the last one I ever wanted to see.
“Grady.” I throw my arm over my eyes in a desperate attempt to shield
myself from his flaccid dick. “We made it two seasons without this
friendship turning weird, and you pick my last day to act like a creep? And
in a sacred space like our locker room of all places?”
“Someone stole my boxers.” Grady Whitlock, my best friend and one of
the only reasons I’ve survived my stint as left winger with the San Diego
Iguanas of the ECHL, the NHL’s AA league, has never been the shy type.
“You know I’m not like that.”
“The proximity of your balls to my mouth says otherwise. I think I
might have nightmares.”
“Hang on.” There’s a string of mumbled curses followed by the zip of a
duffle bag and the rustle of clothes. “Okay. You can look now.”
I open one eye and sigh in relief when I find myself staring at dark jeans
and not a scrotum. “Thank god. Who stole your boxers?”
“Probably Andrew,” Grady grumbles. “The fucker has had it out for me
ever since I beat him in last week’s practice shootout. Sorry, Em.”
“I forgive you, but only if you never show me your junk again,” I say.
“Maybe we can hypnotize the memory out of you.”
“That, or I’ll take a sledgehammer to my skull. You’re going to have to
find someone else to flash, buddy. My flight is in three hours, and then I’m
out of here for good.”
Grady frowns. “This place isn’t going to be the same without you,
Emmy.”
“Getting called up to the big leagues was the last thing on my bingo
card for this year, and I’m this close to freaking out.” I pinch the air with
my thumb and forefinger. “Come to think of it, can you show me your dick
again? It’s veiny, but it’s way less terrifying than thinking about the future.
Me? An NHL player? Are they sure?”
“Ah.” He rubs his jaw and smiles. “We’re in the deflecting stage, I see.
People call what you’re experiencing emotions, Emmy. You should embrace
them. They don’t make you weak.”
“I know that.” I wave him off, but a string in my chest pulls tight when I
look at him. “It’s all very sudden.”
He walks toward me. When he’s close enough to reach, he cups my
cheeks with warm fingers and calloused palms. “You can do hard things,
Em. This transition isn’t going to be easy, but it’s the opportunity of a
lifetime.”
Dammit.
I was really hoping to sneak out of here without our conversation
turning deep. Grady has this way of drawing big, scary feelings out of me
and forcing me to wear my heart on my sleeve, and I’m not sure I can
handle that today.
