“Are you going to be obnoxiously obsessive over his neck tonight?” Kit,
my best friend, asks.
“I mean, yeah, maybe,” I answer as we stride into the arena. “Probably.”
Tonight is the night that Alexander Fane plays his first professional
hockey game. It’s an enormous night for him, and though he doesn’t see me
as anything but his best friend’s little sister, I’m here brimming with
excitement for him. Zander has been Isla’s friend since the day he showed
up to play Junior hockey for the team my dad coached. Dad now coaches
the NHL’s newest team, the Seattle Blades, and a couple of years back, they
drafted Zan, but he’s been playing down on the farm team all this time.
Due to a player’s season-ending injury last game, they called up Zan. And
his big neck. Kit and Isla always tease me about my odd infatuation with it,
but I don’t care. The man has the thickest neck I’ve ever seen. I want to trail
my fingers down it, lick it, taste it.
Pipe dreams, that’s what I call them. He doesn’t know I know this, but
Zander is gay. When I’m not in class or studying, I work as a bartender at
The Chapel, a popular gay bar. I take fewer shifts these days, as my
schooling takes up so much more of my time. However, during one of my
shifts, I saw him there and he wasn’t alone. Later, he’d come over to the
condo I shared with Isla, and when it came up in conversation that I’d
started working there, a strained look passed over his features. I never saw
him there again.
His sexuality hasn’t dampened my feelings. I’ve been a little in love with
him since the first night Isla dragged him home with her. He was young,
only eighteen at the time, when he plopped down on the living room floor
and tried teaching my toddler niece how to build a house of cards. The
feelings only grew from there. My sister has excellent taste in best friends.
He’s kind, generous with the little time he has, unimaginably sexy, and one
of the scrappiest hockey players I’ve ever seen.
“You are so strange,” Kit says, laughing. “I want to grab one of those poke
bowls before we head up to the seats.”
“Yeah, definitely. And a beer or two, I’m nervous.”
“Why? You aren’t the one playing.”
“Shut up,” I say, grimacing at her playfully. “I’m nervous for him.”
“Hockey is his whole life. He’ll be fine,” Kit reassures. I’m sure she’s
right, but the NHL is different. All the players are bigger and faster.
Besides, rookies get a lot of shit from other players.
Zan wasn’t the biggest guy when he showed up as a teenager to play for
my dad. He worked hard to gain some bulk, but even when he was shipped
off to California, he wasn’t big by NHL standards. Despite wanting to, I
could only attend couple of his games these past few years. I thought it was
weird to go without Isla and she’s been busy. I’m not trying to be a clingy
stalker type or anything.
