The day has been filled with the usual tasks: content creation, social media posts, and lunch with the PR team.
At four o’clock, my favourite ice hockey player is leaning against the doorframe to our office, giving me a dazzling smile.
“Hey, baby. Ready to go?” He asks me, making Samantha sigh beside me.
We’re definitely her favourite reality show.
“Yeah, I’ll just pack up my stuff.”
When I’m all ready, we say our goodbyes to Samantha before making our way out. Some of the staff have already left for the day.
Alexander keeps some distance between us as we make our way through the building.
Besides, Clarissa, who obviously saw me arriving with him this morning as well, most people don’t seem to think much of us leaving together.
It’s not unusual for me to be seen with the players, since it’s part of my job to meet with them at times that suit their busy schedules.
When we settle into his car, Alexander grabs hold of my cheek, turning me towards him before smashing my lips against his.
When we break apart, I chuckle at him.
“Missed me, captain?” I say as he starts backing out of the parking spot.
“Baby, the number of times I considered marching over to your part of the building and bringing you with me to a dark corner. You have no idea just how much I’ve missed you.”
His words send the butterflies flying in my stomach.
I’ve been thinking about him nonstop as well, which isn’t new for me, but now everything feels different, enhanced.
“I’ve missed you as well,” I say as he grabs my hand, kisses my knuckles, before letting our intertwined fingers rest in his lap.
Chapter 21
Alexander
“You should probably bring this as well,” I hold up one of Sarah’s smutty books I’ve just grabbed from her nightstand.
She tries to grab it out of my hands, but I hold it out of reach from her. She huffs before going back to her bag.
We’re currently in her dorm, packing up some of her stuff to bring to my apartment. I’m planning on spending as much time with her as possible, so a trip to her place was the first on our list after work.
After this, I’m taking her to dinner, our first official date, at least in public.
“You’re impossible,” she says as she disappears inside the bathroom.
I open her book, and after a small search, I discover a sex scene. Just what I was looking for.
If she won’t bring it, then I will.
I want to read and learn all about what my girl likes.
I bring the book inside my jacket, and when Sarah comes back into the room, she places her hands on her hips, giving me a small smile.
“Where is my book, Alexander?” She asks.
“Back in your nightstand, baby. You all set?” She narrows her eyes at me, clearly not believing me, then she shakes her head before heading for the door.
We make a quick stop at my apartment to drop off her stuff and freshen up before dinner.
