Secret

Flirty texts and sex on the couch?

Victoria


"I know Dan, I know. It's a huge move, don't get me wrong. I'm so excited for you. I think this is a great opportunity." I confessed to Dan.

I listened intently as Dan continued to tell me his fears and hopes of being traded to a different team. I silently agreed and added my input when I felt Dan needed it. I tried to keep the worry out of my voice when I thought about how this trade would affect Natalie. Dan still had no idea where his wife had run off too and I was still too scared to tell him she was here in fear that he would over react. After talking to Dan for over an hour, I was finally able to get him to hang up and finally take my lazy day shower.

I had a ritual for every Sunday of my summer. I'd shower early in the morning, change into the comfiest sweats I could find and lay on my ass in bed watching every movie known to man. During this time I'd slip in and out of consciousness while also eating everything in sight, and then on Monday I'd work my ass off like never before.

After I finally got out of my shower I slipped on some comfy clothes and curled up in bed. Placing my favorite musical Burlesque into the DVD tray, a smile fell on my face as I finally felt relaxation begin to course through my veins.

Unfortunately though, as quick as relaxation sunk in, I was rudely interrupted my cell phone blaring beside me. I picked it up figuring it was Dan, and answered in a rather rude tone.

"Dan, I'm seriously about to castrate you if you're trying to ruin my lazy Sunday." I told him.

"Jesus, I'd hate to be your brother." I heard Jon laugh causing me to blush.

"Oh God Jon, I didn't know that it was you." I replied quickly, embarrassed by my outburst.

"It's fine, I totally understand. Sometimes castration is the only answer." He chuckled causing me to laugh.

"So tell me Captain, what's on your mind?" I asked him, curious as to why the busy Captain was calling me.

"Well it seems that I was invited to join this 'Wonderful lazy Sunday full of majestic life' the other night, when we were at the beach and I was just curious as to when I cash that in?" he asked causing me to smile.

"Well, I'm currently home alone enjoying a lazy Sunday on the couch. How about you join me?" I asked him.

"Alright, count me in. I'll be there in 20." he told me quickly.

As soon as I heard a knock on my door, I casually got out off the couch and walked over to the door to find Jon standing there in a pair of sweatpants and a light Blackhawks Strength shirt.

"Hey beautiful." he smiled, walking in kissing me on the cheek.

"Well aren't you cute." I smirked as he chuckled.

"So now tell me, how is this wonderful lazy Sunday going to go?" he asked curiously.

"Come with me," I smirked as I grabbed his hand and lead him towards my bedroom.

I chuckled as I watched his eyes begin to widen a bit with a bit of hope. I knew for certain that Jon wasn't the type of guy to pressure me into having sex with him so soon, but I grinned knowing the offer was still there if I chose it. As we walked into my bedroom his eyes softened a bit as he noticed the pitch black curtains hung up and Burlesque glowing on the large plasma screen.

"Well now this is something I could enjoy." he chuckled as we jumped into my large California king sized bed and began to watch the movie.

With an arm wrapped around my waist and my head on his chest, I felt myself finally begin to relax from a heavy and long week. My head was slowly bobbing up and down with the rise and fall of his chest and soon I felt his breathing become light. A small snore escaped his lips and I gave a light chuckle as my eyes closed and I let myself go.

I faintly recalled Jon and I sharing my bed when i was awoken to the sound of my cell phone continuously vibrating beside me. Too tired to even check it, I allowed it to continue. Soon after the same thing started over and over again causing me to growl.

"Here, I'll answer it." Jon chuckled, grabbing my I-Phone from the counter and sliding the lock.

Closing my eyes again, I was about to let myself fall back asleep before I felt Jon's whole body stiffen.

"Jon what is it?" I asked him, only allowing one eye open.

"It seems Kane's just a little excited about seeing you." Jon replied in a harsh tone.

"What are you talking about?" I asked him, confused as I slowly got up to look at him.

"He's been texting this whole time i've been here. He wants to know what you're wearing, what outfit you want him to choose and what time should he be here? You want me to text him back and let him know that now sounds perfect?" Jon shouted, pain in his voice.

I sighed deeply as I realized the trouble I put myself into. Had I just broken it off with one, I wouldn't be here right now. I grumbled trying to figure out a logical reason to what was happening and I settled for the truth.

"The truth is, I've known Patrick since I went to college here. You probably don't remember me, but I was engaged to Kris Versteeg when you won the Stanley Cup. Kris never brought me around, so that explains why you probably don't remember me. Anyway, I broke off my engagement with Kris when he was traded to Florida and I stayed here in Chicago. Patrick comforted me during the heartbreak and then things happened. Patrick and I are nothing serious, we've only ever been friends that were just there for each other." I tried to explain to him.

I watched as his chocolate brown eyes suddenly hardened, and I feared the reaction he was going to have because of it.

"So you've been trying to have a relationship with me and my best friend?" he asked incredulous.

"No, no that's not it. It's just...it's just...I can't choose. I care for you both so much that I just can't bare breaking your hearts. I just, I don't know what to do. I don't want to lose you Jon, but I care about Patrick too." I confessed, hoping that Jon would understand some part of my crazy thinking.

"You're going to have to pick Tori, I can't just share you with my best friend." he admitted.

I stared at him trying understand what he was saying? Was he telling me that he wasn't mad I was still talking to Patrick even though I was with him?

"You're not mad?" I asked incredulous.

"Not at all, Tori there's something about you. I don't want to lose you, and I sure as hell won't lose you to Kaner." He admitted, a flicker of possessiveness in his eyes.

Victoria didn't know how to respond and Jon continued smiling.

"Just relax baby, it's your lazy sunday enjoy the movie." he smirked.

Jonathan


Jonathan Toews walked into the loud and noisy uncontrollable bar, with a look of determination across his face he searched the large crowd for his blonde haired bestfriend.

"Pat." Jonathan chuckled, placing a false smile on his lips.

"What's going on man?" Patrick asked on complete alert when he realized the odd mood his friend was in.

"We need to talk about you and Tori." Jon said simply.

"What Tori and I have is private, Jon." Pat told him angrily.

"Well when I'm lying in bed with her and you can't seem to control yourself I'm having to be forced awoken due to your bootycalls." He growled causing Patrick to glare at him.

"You slept with her?" Pat asked incredulous causing Jon to smirk.

"I did." Jon smiled, he knew that wasn't the question Pat asked but he was just fine allowing him to think that way anyway.

"Fine, you want to play like that, then let's play like that. How does a little Gentlemen's Wager sound?" Pat asked him, suddenly becoming furious.

"We're not betting on Tori, Pat." Jon told him suddenly, rolling his eyes.

"Afraid she'll choose me?" Pat asked smirking causing Jon's blood to boil.

"Fine, what're the rules of the bet?" Jon asked him.

"Let's make it simple, best man wins. Whoever she falls in love with, whoever she can't be without, wins. They win her heart, and no hard feelings from the other. One of us will leave her alone to her happiness with whoever you choose?" he suggested.

"Shouldn't we ask her what she thinks?" I asked him curiously.

"No, there's no way Victoria can know. She'll never speak to us again." Pat explained to him honestly.

"Ok fine, whoever 'wins' this little game, will have the pleasure of being with the lovely Victoria Carcillo until she shall wish to break it off. Whoever loses, shall move on with his life and allow the couple sheer happiness?" Jonathan asked him.

"Sounds right." Pat smirked.

"Then you're on." Jon chuckled, shaking hands and agreeing to the terms.
