Well then, you better practice hard and then come see me after
For another reenactment of what we did in your office?
Now who’s the one making someone all hot and bothered?
Guess you’ll just have to wait for me until after practice
Or I could take care of things on my own
You better not. I want you ready for me
Then get your ass to practice, Brooks-Young
I’ll do my best just for you

There’s a pep in my step as I head into the practice rink. Even though All-Star weekend was a short break, it’s enough to revive even the weariest of players.
And having spent the weekend with Bex, I couldn’t be feeling any better. This far into the season, the bumps and bruises take longer to recover from.
Three days off was exactly what I needed.
Pushing open the door to the locker room, I head straight for my stall, oblivious to the fact that it’s now deadly silent.
Looking around, all eyes are on me.
“Uhh, what’s going on?”
Troy, Cash, and Noah all walk over to me. Their faces range from giddy to confused to stunned. What the hell?
“What the fuck, Nick? Were you ever going to tell us?” Noah asks, disbelief in his voice.
“Tell you what?”
“What do you mean, tell you what?” Troy mocks. “You haven’t seen the news?”
“What news?” I ask, looking between the three of them.
Cash grabs his phone from the cubby above his locker and types away on it before thrusting it into my face.
Headline after headline of Bex and me are there. A photo of the two of us kissing outside of my condo graces each article.
Secret relationship between Black Diamonds GM and Goalie? What this photo could mean…
Bexley Hart seen kissing Colorado goalie Nick Brooks-Young
Love or lust? Let’s break down the history of the relationship between Bexley Hart and Nick Brooks-Young
“Oh fuck,”I whisper, scraping my hand over my face. I tap on one and wait for it to load.
Damn locker room being a dead zone.
When it finally pops up on the screen, I feel like I could be sick. There’s speculation about our relationship, what it means for the team, how we got together.
I could keep reading, but I don’t want to. What was a private moment between the two of us is now splashed across the Internet for everyone to see.
“Do you have anything to say for yourself?” Cash asks.
