Game Day
Geno’s POV
After spending the week touring the city with Derek I am happy it is Friday and he will be leaving tomorrow. He is always saying stuff like he is better than me, more stable for Roxy, and can give her a future. I don’t know how many times I have restrained myself from punching him in the face. I know it is childish but every time he is around I find some reason to hug, hold, or kiss Roxy in front of him, staking my claim. Roxy thinks I am crazy but I just don’t like the guy.
“Are you coming with me to arena or later?” I ask her as I get ready after our nap.
“Can you drop me off at my apartment on the way to the arena? Then we can just drive over later” she says as me puts her hair up in a pony tail.
“Sure, will I see you before game?”
“Yes, I have to stretch Marc and do some stuff for the guys”
“Okay” I say while getting dressed.
“Have I ever told you how sexy I find you in a suit?” she asks with a smirk.
“Don’t think so” I say and put on my jacket.
“Well in that case,” she says and comes up to me, grips my jacket pulling me down to her level. he lips brush against mine while she talks “You look so sexy in a suit that every time you wear one I wasn’t to rip it off you” she says then seals it with a kiss.
“Later?” I ask with a wink.
“I will take a rain check” she says and I give her a look not understanding the term. “It is like saying that I will do it later or and I owe you”
“Oh, that make sense”
“So I was thinking, since I am going to be a spectator and not working tonight, that I would wear your jersey” she said and I felt my face light up.
“I love that, come by before and I get you one” I tell her with a smile.

I am having a great game, my girl is wearing my sweater, and I am on a breakaway but the next thing I know I am on the ice and Charlie is trying to talk to me.
“Can you get up?” he asks as I try to figure out what happened.
“Yeah” I say and stand up.
“Where does it hurt?”
“My head, what happened?” I asked
“You went into the boards hard” he says as we make our way off the ice
“I don’t remember” I say and then start to panic. We make it into the back and I am still racking my brain to remember.
“Okay, we need to do a concussion test” Charlie says and does some test but I can’t manage to focus.
“I can’t remember” I say again “Why?”
“I don’t know” he says then the door is opened by Roxy who looks panicked
“What is it? Concussion?” she asks
“I think so but he will have to go to the hospital after the game to make sure nothing is wrong with his neck”
“Of course” she says with a nod then Charlie leaves the room. “How do you feel?”
“Me head and neck hurt, can’t focus, and I can’t remember” I tell her
“What can’t you remember?”
“The hit, it all black”
“Okay as soon as the game is over we will go to the hospital. Why don’t you shower and get dressed?” she asks and takes my hand. We walk to the locker room and I go to take a shower. She tells me she will be out by the bench for the rest of the game.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
We won but I had nothing to be happy about. We were sitting in a hospital room waiting on tests to come back from my MRI and X-Ray.
“Well I have good news and not so good news” the doctor comes in saying.
“Good news” I say first
“Your neck is fine for the whiplash you sustained” he says
“And bad?”
“It looks like you have short term memory loss. It may come back or it may not, you will just have to wait and see what happens”
“What is the recovery time for his neck?” Roxy asks from beside me.
“I would have you rest for a few days, then do off ice workouts, then if that goes good you can do on ice but no contact for at least a week” he says. “I will give you medicine if you get headaches in the next few days” he says and writes on a pad of paper and handing it to me.
“Thank you” Roxy says and I give a small smile to him before we exit the room.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
I am lying in bed watching some TV and Roxy is getting ready for bed in the bathroom. She comes out in one of my shirts that hangs off her like a dress.
“You know how you like me in suit?” I ask as she gets comfortable
“Yeah?”
“I love you in my clothes” I say and give her a kiss.
“I like being in your clothes” she says with a tight smile.
“What wrong?” I ask because she has been acting weird all night.
“Do you promise me you won’t get mad?” she asks
“Depends on what it is” I say
“Derek kissed me” she whispers and my blood is instantly boiling.
“What?” I ask even though I heard her the first time. “When?”
“At my apartment. We were talking on the couch and he was saying stuff about you and us. He then started talking about how he and I should be together and he really cares about me and before I knew it he was kissing me”
"What did you do?" I ask trying not to let my anger out on her.
“I pushed him away and said that I love you and that he and I could never happen, that I see him like a brother” she says and I can hear the tears in her voice. “I am so sorry Evgeni, I should have listened to you but I thought you were just being jealous”
“Did you like it?” I asked the one question on my mind
“What? No, it felt wrong and weird. You are the only person I want to be kissing” she says and I wipe a tear from her cheek. “You are the one I love, with all my heart”
“That make me so happy, I love you too” I say and pull her into my lap for a hug.
After a while of lying there I thought Roxy had fallen asleep but she surprises me by speaking.
“I like this”
“Me too, I like having you here” I say and kiss the top of her head.
“I love being here”
“Why don’t you stay?” I whisper and hold my breath
She sits up on my lap “What?”
“Roxy, I love having you here. I love waking up to you. Will you move in with me?” I ask her formally.
“I…Evgeni, you know I would love to but what would I do about my half of the apartment and Sarah? She can’t pay for it herself” she says with pained eyes.
“Will you think about it?” I ask her wanting nothing more than having her here all the time.
“I will think about it” she says and I give her a smile.
The night ended just like it should, with Roxy in my arms.
