Heart and Ice

8

I woke up to a loud knock8ng on my front door. Looking at my bedside table I seen that it was only 8a.m. whoever is at the door better have a good freaking reason for waking my ass up so early on a weekend. Muttering annoyingly under my breath as I made my way to the door I swung open the door with a scowl on my face wincing at the bright light from the damn sun. Anthony stood before me with a cup holder in one hand and a paper bag in the other.

" Good morning sunshine. I got your meds from the pharmacy and brought you some food as well as coffee and your car. Mind if I come in?"

How in the hell is he so chirpy this early in the morning? I kept catching him checking me out from head to toe more than once. I have no idea why he'd look at me like that, I was just in my PJs. That was until I looked down and realized I was in fact not in my PJs but my black lace panties and bra set. I shriek out a loud yelp and bolt to my room all while I can hear Anthony chuckle behind me from the door. I slammed my door shut and looked for a t-shirt I could throw on for now. How freaking embarrassing can I be. I mean I am not ashamed of my body but I have no clue who this guy is aside from his career choice and that he is absolutely gorgeous. Dude probably thinks my space a.ss was trying to seduce him. I found a t shirt long enough to make its way to my thigh. Sufficient enough for breakfast with that handsome devil I suppose. Rolling my eyes I made my way back out to the door only to be met with Anthony already in my kitchen setting out our meals and coffee.

"Do you make it a habit to make yourself at home everywhere you go?" I asked finding it funny that he just went about my kitchen like he owned the place.

"Cute, do you make it a habit of answering your door almost completely naked? Or was that just for my pleasure only?" He rebuttled without a second thought. I could feel my cheeks warm8ng up at the fact that he seen me almost nude and I didn't even get dinner out of it. I guess breakfast is a suitable replacement meal.

"Ha ha very funny! When I got home I was too tired to change so I just slept in what I had on. It wasn't easy only having one available hand. I had to make due with what I had."

I sat at the table finally, still keeping my eyes on the beautiful God given masterpiece in front of me. He put a glass of water and my pills in front of me. I gawked at him as he sat down in front of me to eat his food.

"Bottoms up. Don't need you in pain when there is a simple solution to the problem. Also eat up, don't need said pills to hurt your stomach."

"Didn't... Didn't you have practice this morning? What are you doing here? I thought Gray was dropping off my car anyways?"

I questioned him while keeping my eyes set on his as he bit into his pancakes. A drop of syrup made its way down his lips to his chin. I couldn't help but think that I wish I could just lick that off of his chin and luscious lips.

" You know it's rude to stare at someone, especially while they are eating. Secondly, I had practice at 6 this morning thats why I left last night. Sorry about that by the way. Anyways I figured since I was already there I'd just bring your car to you. Gray gave me your address, also gave me your script that you left in the car last night. Figured I'd just take care of it so you wouldn't have to go pick it up yourself."

I fidgeted with my hands not knowing what to say or do. So in a sheepish tone I thanked him and took my meds so I could eat my breakfast.

A comfortable silence fell between us which made me a little uneasy being as we didn't even know each other. Should I be this comfortable with a stranger? Deciding to break the silence I started asking more questions.

"So instead of dropping off my car and leaving why did you decide to feed me and stay to eat while you were at it? I mean I appreciate the gesture don't get me wrong, however you aren't obligated to take care of me you know?"

"This wasn't like a one night stand you know? I'm not here trying to make you feel better after a crappy lay. This is more or less a thank you for allowing me a reason to punch the absolute s.hit out of Tim. Guys been p.issing me off for years and I can only have so much contact on the rink. Never skin to skin. I finally got the chance to f uck him up a little without getting arrested or kicked off the team completely. So cheers to you being a bad a.ss and letting me 'save' you. Not that you needed it but it was fun."

"So you've had prior issues with number 27? Safe to say he is a d.ouche cake year round?"

That earned me a laugh and a breathtaking smile from Anthony that made my stomach do flips and my legs to clamp shut.

"Yeah that's a pretty spot on nickname for Tim. He thinks he is a hot shot but cries like a punk a.ss when he doesn't get his way. Has tried to get me suspended more than once. Safe to say I hate the guy."

I hummed in agreement. Hiding a yawn.

"I should get going so you can head back to bed. Sorry I woke you up so early and sorry again for ditching you last night I hope you can feel more like yourself after some rest. Take care beautiful."

As he made his way out the door I yelled out at his retreating back.

"Thanks again Anthony!"

He turned around and flashed me his 1000 watt smile.

I shut my door with a huge smile plastered on my face from a surprisingly wonderful morning.
