Mandy and Roxy felt like their legs were going to fall out from under them any second. It was the first presason game at home and things had gotten busy. Running here and there, grabbing practice jerseys, gloves and anything else they could manage to even carry.
Mandy's mind was still hooked on Taylor. She was still feeling the effects of their shower encounter. And Roxy, she was starting to adore Lander more and more, but of course she would never admit that to anyone, not even herself.
Finally as the game grew closer, everything slowed down, and the girls were at least able to watch the game. As they made their way out onto the Hall managed to give Mandy a quick wink, which caused her to smile back. She was so hooked on him, maybe even more than before, and she had no idea why.
--
After the first it was already 2-1 Edmonton, and even for a preseason game, the building was pretty electrifying. This city was so excited for the potential in this team, with the number one draft pick, Jordan Eberle, Mr. 5.4 seconds and the Swedish kid, who nobody really knew about, but were already starting to see. He already had 2 points in the game, a goal and an assist, and people were starting to notice the name Magnus Paajarvi.
The second period wasn't that exciting, except for the fact Magnus scored again. Mandy was starting to see something she never really considered before, he actually wasn't that bad. She'd never really seen Magnus play, and already with 3 points in the game, she was starting to see a guy who might actually be a valuable key to this team, and this city.
It was the third period, a 3-1 game and the atmosphere in the building wasn't dying down anytime soon, even in the third period.
About 8 minutes into the period, the Lightning turned over the puck to Taylor and with the goalie diving out, hoping to snatch the puck away, he basically put it into a wide open net, making the game 4-1.
Mandy squealed excitedly as she saw the focus back on Taylor again, she was proud of him, scoring his first unofficial goal in the NHL.
"It wasn't that great" Roxy mumbled.
"Don't take this from me" Mandy shot back, "And don't pretend I can't hear you, you purposely mumble loudly so I can hear you"
She just rolled her eyes, "A monkey could have scored that goal and you know it"
"Roxy, will you please stop it?!"
Roxy finally zipped her lips and focused her attention back on the game, but in her head she was more worried about her best friend.
Then the unthinkable happened. It was a 4-1 game in the third and it was pretty safe to say that they had this game in the bag. It was halfway through the period, and Magnus nonchalantly took the puck up the ice, harmlessly shot it and all of a sudden the horn was going off and he had a hat trick.
"Did you see that?!" Roxy exclaimed grinning widely as she watched the scoreboard change to 5-1.
Mandy's eyes simply stayed on Magnus, she watched him celebrate with his teammates and skate back to the bench as a few hats here and there hit the ice. Suddenly his eyes somehow made their way to hers and her heart stopped. There was something in his eyes at that very moment that made Mandy forget about Taylor, for even just a second, and that feeling scared her.
She finally looked away and then looked towards Roxy, "What?"
"Don't tell me you missed that"
"No...I saw it"
"What got into you?" she scanned my face and a smirked appeared on her face as she looked towards the bench, "He so wants you"
"What?"
"Don't tell me you missed that" she smirked.
"Missed what"
"You so want him too"
"Can you say that any louder?" Mandy snapped.
"Mandy, it's not a bad thing...at least he knows how to treat a girl" she huffed glaring at Taylor.
"I'm not talking about this" Mandy replied, "Not right now"
For a change, Mandy was actually starting to question her feelings not only for Taylor, but for Magnus. That look in his eyes was not one friends give to each other, he meant for Mandy to feel something from that gaze, maybe the same thing he was feeling. She had to admit that this may have made him a bit more desirable, but going there could cause a whole lot of problems, no matter how much both of them may have wanted it.
The game ended 5-2 and the girls quickly kept up by cleaning and tidying after the game was over and done with. Most of the guys were out, but some of the rookies stuck around, one in particular Mandy was concerned with.
"Magnus" he turned around and immediately his cheeks flushed a slight red. She noticed it every time she came around, and she loved it.
"Hey Mandy"
"You were really great tonight"
He smiled shyly, "Thanks"
It was hard for Mandy not to see the slight muscle under his dress shirt. No, he didn't have a six pack, or chiseled...everything, but it was just enough to make her go a little crazy thinking about what she could--
"What are you thinking about?" he asked, finally drawing her attention back to his face, interrupting her thoughts.
"...alot" she said quietly, "you have no idea"
"Do I want to?"
"Maybe"
Magnus may have been the shy, sweet type but when she was standing there in front of him, fully within his grasp he had to have her.
"Mandy..."
She was not so focused on his face so much as everything else, what was under the dress shirt she was admiring, what she took advantage of the first night she had him. Everything she took advantage of when she had him, because she was angry.
"Yah?" she again looked back up at him, and saw a look in his eyes she had never seen on him before, almost desperate.
"Maybe you can--"
"Mandy" Taylor came up, wrapping an arm around Mandy's shoulder, causing Magnus to back down. Mandy saw the look turn to sadness and immediately she knew what Magnus wanted in the first place.
"Hey Taylor"
"We're all ready to go if you want to head home"
"Yah...sure thing, just let me finish up, I'll meet you in the car"
She watched as Taylor left, and looked around the hall to make sure it was empty. She got up close to Magnus, and her lips trailed his ear gently, "Leave a key" she whispered, "midnight"
She didn't look at him, she just quickly walked away leaving Magnus in a daze that he didn't want to shake out of.

Tuesday, February 15, 2011
eighteen.
Magnus Paajarvi was always the runt in the pack. His older brother, Bjorn, started to play hockey, so naturally as little brothers do, Magnus followed. He was immediately told he was too small, but the stubborn person inside of him wouldn't take no for an answer. Magnus knew he loved skating fast, and therefore spent hours out on the local pond, sharpening his skills until he was a faster skater than the rest. The puck handling, and the ease of his play-making mind seemed to show up later.
Behind all of this was his mother.
Hockey moms are among the most passionate sports fans, and arguably the loudest and most annoying. But Mrs. Paajarvi-Svensson was quiet, good natured, and above all things, proud. She kept her son honest and encouraged him to play a clean game. When Magnus' father would urge him to check the opposing team harder, his mother would tell him softly, "Do it, but only if you truly believe they deserve it." That was something that always went through his mind.
Now, only a few months after her passing, Magnus was wondering what she'd say now. He wished so badly to have her around, he needed her advice. Somehow he'd gotten himself tangled in a web with Mandy, Taylor and now Jordan. Everything was a mess.
Magnus had tried to talk to his dad on the phone earlier that day, but it was too hard. He couldn't handle the sadness in his father's voice, and after some forced small-talk, he wished him well and hung up. Svensson was completely heartbroken.
As was Magnus, but nobody knew about it. And that was how he intended to keep it. The last thing he wanted was to be a burden for the team. Although he was pretty sure that sleeping with Mandy hadn't helped anything.
Not that he'd ever have the chance again, he thought miserably.
Practice ended. The team signed autographs while still in their sweaty gear. After signing for everyone who wanted him, Magnus exited through the back door, leaving the adoring fans to Taylor and Jordan, the obvious favourites. It didn't bother him that much, in fact he was happy to escape the lime light for a little while.
"Magnus!"
He turned around to see Mandy chasing after him into the parking lot. Instantly he felt his cheeks flush pink. Of course.
"Hey," she said, her eyes wide with concern, "Look, I just wanted to say sorry about all the things Taylor-"
"It's fine," Magnus replied, "Really. I don't care."
"I'm going to make him apologize to you," Mandy insisted, "What he said was out of-"
"It doesn't matter," Magnus told her, "I mean it. I just want to forget everything."
"Everything?" Mandy asked.
"I was a one night stand, was I not?"
Mandy sighed, "...yeah, I guess you were."
"Exactly. I want to just move on here, our first game is tomorrow, and I want to be ready. Have to clear my head. I'll see you tomorrow."
Mandy watched him drive away, and her heart sank. She shouldn't have said that.
--
Roxy waited in the chilly October air, her shoulders hunched in her dark purple hoody. She felt a pair of arms wrap around her, and her heart skipped a beat. Turning around, she saw Lander, giving her that trademark smirk.
"Well hi," Roxy said with a genuine smile, "You look nice."
Lander shrugged, tucking in his scarf, "Same to you." He offered his arm, "Walk with me?"
Roxy eagerly took it, "Yes."
It wasn't that cold outside, but cold enough. Roxy felt herself walking close to him, enjoying the warmth he offered, and not just in a literal sense. Lander was different from other guys.
"So, you're from Sweden..."
"Timra. Eastern Sweden. Hockey town."
"Sounds about right," Roxy said with a tiny smile, "You've been playing since you could walk, I'm guessing."
"Of course! Listening to ABBA and eating meatballs the whole time, too," Lander replied, "My life story is pretty boring, actually. Played hockey until I was good enough to play for the Elite League, drafted, here I am."
"I somehow believe there's more to it than that."
Lander shrugged, "Not much. Never really had a girlfriend."
"I highly doubt that!"
"I had girls, yeah," Lander said, "But...not quite the steady type."
"Now you have Petra."
Lander grimaced, "Don't remind me."
Roxy smirked, "Your own fault, man."
Lander sighed, "She used to be pretty cool, until we started practicing...and until you and Mandy entered the picture."
Roxanne bit her lip, "I'm sorry, if I-"
"Trust me, doomed from the start, and besides...you girls made things more interesting."
"By interesting you mean having the opportunity to look down my shirt while I filled your Gatorade bottles."
"Hey, I never did that."
"Sure you did. I caught you. Which was why I always wore my cutest bras."
"I noticed, trust me on that."
"Perv."
"Hey, not cool. You did it on purpose!"
Roxy smiled, "It's easy to talk to you. I like that."
Lander gently let his arm wrap around her shoulder, "There's more where that came from."
Leaves were starting to fall, September was in the air. It was beautiful in Alberta at this time of year. Roxanne felt safe and calm next to Lander, and without the constant fear of Petra looming in on them, it was almost normal. The sun was setting and the stars were starting to come out.
"God I love the stars," Lander said, looking up at the sky, "At least, in Edmonton I do. Much more different here."
A lightbulb suddenly went on in Roxy's head. She tugged Lander's arm, "I have an idea. Can we go to my place?"
Lander blinked at her, "You mean...but we've only been talking for-"
"Not THAT," she rolled her eyes, "Seriously. Let's get a cab and go."
Once they reached her apartment, Roxy insisted Lander help to haul the mattress from her room.
"What are we doing?"
"Just trust me," Roxy told him excitedly as they dragged it into the hallway, "Ok, to the elevator..."
Together, they brought the mattress, along with a few blankets, to the rooftop of the building. Lander watched as Roxy's tiny body pulled the mattress directly to the middle of the roof, spreading out the blankets. She then gestured for him to follow.
Lander sat down next to her and she pushed him down until he laid on his back, then she laid next to him, "Look at the sky."
His eyes widened in amazement. The stars were more evident here than anywhere he'd ever seen. The moon was bright, the stars were brighter, and they danced overhead like a giant evening show, meant only for the two of them to see.
"When I was little, I used to count the constellations I could find," Roxanne said dreamily, "Did you?"
"Never," Lander admitted, "Teach me?"
She shyly reached for his hand and he laced it with hers, "Well, that's the big dipper..."
--
Mandy wiped the sweat from her brow, receiving a pat on the back from Taylor.
"Muscles, eh?" he joked, snagging a towel from her cart, "No way you put the glove dryer away all by yourself."
"Sure did," Mandy beamed, "Stop underestimating me."
Taylor smirked, "I rarely do. You just outdo yourself. That's all." He stretched, the fabric of his underarmor shirt lifting and revealing a bit of his tanned abs, "Looks like we're the last ones here."
Mandy crossed her arms, "Mmhmm..."
"I just gotta take a shower," Taylor said, "Then we can go home. Might as well go together, right?"
"So...you're saying I have to wait out here....while you take a shower?" Mandy asked him.
"Unless you wanna shower with me." Taylor said bluntly. Not that he expected her to. She'd only just forgiven him a few hours earlier, after all.
Mandy now stood dangerously close to him, "I like that idea, it's been awhile since we...you know..." She tugged at the shirt fervently. It was a pain to see him clothed.
"You know how many dudes have showered there? Lots," Taylor warned her. Mandy lifted his shirt over his head. Hello, chiseled abs and muscular hockey player arms.
"Your point? Because we're wasting time here," Mandy said, her eyes giving off a mischievous glint as she felt him over. Taylor had to smile then.
"Hopefully I can find the way to turn them on," he said moments later, flicking on every switch possible, then hearing the water running, "Perfect."
Sex in the team showers seemed like a crazy, dangerous thing to do, and that was exactly why it excited Mandy. Something new, like a fresh flavor to a drink she'd been indulging in for years. It was hard for her to resist Taylor, despite how he'd been and the way he'd treated everyone earlier. Mandy's body needed his, badly, and she couldn't say no.
Taylor was also having difficulty thinking straight. He heard her call out that she was ready, and the second he entered the steamy hot room, he was instantly turned on. Warm, hot water rolling down her body, tracing along her curves- mostly on that fantastic ass -made him feel like he was going to burst.
Mandy went for the gold right away- receiving a longing moan from Taylor.
"You like that, don't you?" she asked him teasingly, getting a good grip and working it up and down, "Do you want me to play with you a little?"
Taylor's eyes screamed with desire, "Oh fuck...please..."
Mandy pushed him up against the wall, "Let me show you how much better I am at this than she is. As soon as I'm done with you...you won't even remember your own name."
Taylor closed his eyes and heaved a sigh as Mandy brought him into her mouth. Petra who? This girl was unreal. Her tongue teased him like crazy; he kept trying to push his hips forward, but no, SHE was in control. It started to get to a point where the pleasure was almost painful. Finally, after a wonderfully agonizing five or six minutes, her beautiful eyes looked up at him.
"You want to get inside me, Taylor Hall?"
"Please," he whimpered, "I'm so close already..."
Mandy stood up and looked him in the eye, dead serious, "Then don't just stand there. Fuck me."
Permission granted, Taylor lifted Mandy up so her hands could hold onto one of the bars while her legs wrapped around his waist. He didn't hesitate and started to thrust hard, all the while she kept telling him to go faster and faster. It was rampant and wild, the two of them being drenched in water and dominating sex.
"Is that all you've got?" Mandy demanded, her legs still locked around him.
Taylor pressed his forehead against hers, growling, "How bad do you want it, then?"
"I want Taylor fucking Hall, not a wuss like Magnus," Mandy said with a smirk, not caring that she'd insulted him, "Give it to me or get out."
Taylor plunged back into her. If she wanted him, she was getting him. He pumped himself in and out as fast and deep as he could, and much to Mandy's surprise, he WAS living up to her expectations, maybe even beyond it. Taylor had to smirk, hearing that familiar sound from her as she started ride her wave.
"Taylor, oh my god," she gripped onto the bar with white knuckles, "Keep going, please!"
In that half second before he also began to go over the edge, Taylor remembered- he wasn't wearing a condom. Mandy purposely tightened herself inside so he'd experience an even better climax and it was almost too much for Taylor. In a frenzy of pleasure he tried to pull himself out in time, spurts shooting onto the floor and washing away down the drain, gone.
After they dried themselves off and starting to get dressed, Mandy admired him.
"WELL, that definitely was great make-up sex."
But Taylor wasn't thinking the same.
"Tay?"
"I don't know if I pulled out in time," he said, pulling his t-shirt on, "I mean, I think I did..."
Mandy swallowed, "Oh...well..."
"You on anything?"
"No, I'm not," Mandy said slowly, "Never have been." She shook it off, "But come on, the one time I don't use a condom won't do anything right? I mean, the odds are against me...I hope."
Behind all of this was his mother.
Hockey moms are among the most passionate sports fans, and arguably the loudest and most annoying. But Mrs. Paajarvi-Svensson was quiet, good natured, and above all things, proud. She kept her son honest and encouraged him to play a clean game.

seventeen.
Jordan walked into the dressing room, feeling quite proud of himself. Jones, noticed a spring in Jordan's step and pulled him aside.
"What's up with you?"
"Nothing"
"Something happened, I haven't seen you this happy in a while"
"Nothing happened"
"You got laid"
"How the hell did you figure that out!?"
He just shrugged, "I was bluffing"
"You're good"
"So what happened?"
"I got laid, that's it"
"Who?"
"I'm not telling"
"Oh come on..."
Jordan kept his composure, "I can't"
"It's someone we know...challenge accepted"
"okay.."
"Roxanne"
"Fuck...yes"
"There's more to it though, I can see it on your face"
Jordan suddenly got nervous, swallowing a lump in his throat, "No"
"What else happened?"
"Nothing"
"Did you guys sleep together....more than once?"
"No...Mandy came home"
"Roxanne, then Mandy!?"
"No...Roxanne AND Mandy"
Ryan's mouth hung open for a minute before he responded, "You're joking right?"
Jordan just shook his head, "No"
"You had a threesome? For real!?"
"Yah, for real. But you can't tell anyone else"
"Lips are sealed...but I'm going to go out early for some drills. Uh...keep up the good work"
"Yah..."
He stood there for a minute, finally realizing what happened last night could really do some damage. Especially if his best friend found out.
"Real classy Eberle"
He turned around, knowing full well what happened, he knows.
"What?"
"Fucking my girlfriend and her friend?! I knew you were a horny bastard, but I thought you might have some respect for me"
Jordan stood his ground, "I don't know what you're talking about"
"I heard you bragging about your "accomplishments", so don't act like it didn't happen. I thought you just might be out at some bard last night, not with my girlfriend" he looked around and spotted Lander, "Oh, hey Lander!"
"Taylor, this isn't going to help anyone, let's just settle this, between us"
"Settle what? You know how much she means to me"
"And you still fucked Petra, don't pretend to be the innocent one here"
"She came onto me, FOR THE LAST TIME!" he exclaimed, "My girlfriend and the chick Lander's been with, you've really racked up the most points here Ebs"
"If I remember correctly, she dumped you. You don't have rights to her anymore"
Taylor raised an eyebrow, "And you do?"
"You think I planned this? They came onto me, and from what I've been hearing, and what you said about Petra, it seems like a pretty damn good excuse"
"Different situation and you know it. And we both know how desperate you are"
"FUck it, I'm sorry! Is that what you want to hear?"
"See the thing is Jordan, you're not sorry, if you even gave two shits you wouldn't have done anything"
"When I'm drunk, morals aren't always considered"
"Neither is the fact that I'm gonna pound your fucking face in"
"Oh come on Taylor, don't do this"
"It seems like a really good idea"
Lander stepped in between them, "Guys just back off"
"Oh, you wouldn't back off if you knew what he did"
"What?"
"Threesome, last night with Mandy and Roxanne"
"What the fuck?"
"Ask him, it's true"
"Okay, it happened alright, but if you ask those girls, they'd back me up"
"I guess it doesn't matter, since Lander only used Roxy for sex anyway. Oh well, seems she found a new toy"
"Fuck Taylor, it's not going to happen again, alright?!" Jordan snapped.
"Right, one time thing. I'm really curious to see who Roxy will move to next"
"Whoa, Hall, don't talk about her like that"
Taylor looked at Lander curiously and smirked, "What's it to you? You have a girlfriend"
"Doesn't mean I don't--just don't talk about her like that, she's human too, okay?"
"You're implying you actually care about her" Taylor laughed, "That's funny"
"She's nice Taylor. And I wouldn't be talking about caring for someone after what you did...with MY girlfriend"
"Yah" he chuckled, "Cause you fuck your own girlfriend, who is a huge slut by the way"
"I swear if you say one more fucking word"
"What, about Petra? You don't give two shits about that girl and you're too much of a pussy to break up with her"
"I'm not losing my career because of her"
"Ok then, well maybe I'll go take my chances with Roxy, five bucks says she'll go down easy"
Lander shot back, "Oh and ten bucks says Mandy goes down easier"
"FUck you" he said shoving Lander.
Lander shoved him back, "Try that again"
In one swift motion Taylor decked Lander in the face and Lander grabbed Taylor and tackled him into the ground.
"What the fuck is going on!?" Roxy exclaimed grabbing Lander and pulling him off.
"He's denying the fact you're a slut" Taylor said brushing himself off.
"Excuse me!?" Roxy replied looking at him and then over at Lander.
"What the hell are you doing Taylor?"
"I should ask you the same question"
"What?"
"You know what I'm talking about Mandy"
"What does it matter anyways Taylor? You are no longer a part of my life, and you have no business in what I do, or who I decide to fuck"
"Agreed" Roxy replied.
"I'm so tired of this"
Magnus showed up behind Taylor and everyone stopped, "Tired of what?" he asked, "what did I miss?"
"I'm so done with puckbunnies", Taylor said.
"Are you FUCKING kidding me?" Mandy snapped. Now he crossed the line.
"Don't tell me you took this job for the glamour of it"
"Don't flatter yourself Taylor. I did not take this job for you. You think this is what I wanted?" she said looking around at the drama surrounding her, "This is the last thing I wanted"
"You know, if you knew how to close your legs--"
"Not cool" Magnus said.
"From what I remember you love my legs"
Taylor just sighed and looked over at Magnus, "I think you need to mind your own business"
"Magnus...I can handle myself"
"This is my business"
"Oh, you want a go at her too? Be my guest. From what I can see she takes anyone"
"No, I don't. I actually respect girls"
"He already had a go"
"Wait..." the look in Taylor's eyes softened a little, "What?"
"Mandy, don't" Magnus begged.
"I went to him after I saw you and Petra"
"Pity sex?" his eyes got angry again, "Really?"
"It wasn't like that!" Magnus quickly said.
"Then what was it? Englighten me"
Mandy shoved Taylor, "You don't talk to him like that, okay?"
"Since when do you even give a shit?"
"Since he actually gave a shit"
Taylor stopped for a minute and shook his head, "Cute. Because you couldn't find anyone else to have revenge sex with"
"Stop disrespecting her like that" Magnus interjected again.
"Fuck Taylor, how did I even care about you?" Mandy was doing all she could to keep her tears back.
"You cared enough to fuck my roommate"
"Just stop it. People make mistakes"
"I told you to stay out of this Paajarvi"
"I care about her, okay? And you're not treating her right"
"Please, everyone knows you've had a thing for her since day one but you were too chicken to even make a move. I did, and the tiny chance you got, the one time she considered you, you took it, and now, is she with you? No. She won't ever be, deal with it"
"Hey Taylor, am I with you either? No, cause you managed to ruin that. We need to talk Taylor, okay?"
"I'll pass, hope you're happy. Oh, enjoy nailing the rest of the team girls"
"Taylor" she grabbed his arm and he turned around, "Five minutes"
"Just talk to her" Magnus sighed.
"If I were you, I wouldn't talk or I'll tear you a new one, got it?"
"No need for that!" Roxy exclaimed.
"Taylor, this is getting old. Just take 5 minutes to talk to me okay? You know we need to talk"
"Fine..."
"Thank you"
The two of them stepped aside and Taylor just looked over at me, "What, you want to tear me apart some more?"
"We need to talk about what happened?"
"Which, that bitch and me or you and Jordan?"
"Both"
"What's to talk about Mandy? You won't believe me, sorry a thousand times obviously means nothing to you, and you obviously don't want me anymore"
"I want you more than anything Taylor, but you hurt me, bad. You know what happened to me in high school, you know how hard it is for me to trust. And I trusted you, and you threw that out the window. I went to Magnus, and he cared, but I still wasn't over you, I don't know when I will be"
"I'm not over you either..."
"What you said out there...was really harsh"
"I want to kill Jordan"
"This isn't his fault Taylor.."
"Does it even matter anymore?"
"I don't even know" Mandy sighed. She just looked over at Taylor, running through her mind what to say next. Was this it? Was it over? It couldn't be over, could it?
"Can we fix this? I mean, it's obvious I don't deserve you"
Mandy chuckled, "I think it's the other way around"
"Ha, no, I could have easily stopped Petra..but I didn't"
Her eyes averted to the floor, and she felt a pang in her stomach, "Why?"
"I couldn't even move...it felt--"
"Just the thought of her--can I kill her for touching you?"
"Sure, I'll help"
She just smirked, "Yah"
Maybe this wasn't completely over. Maybe they still had a chance, even though she couldn't trust him, but maybe he could earn it back.
"Maybe we can talk some more later, I'm staying late tonight to get some extra ice time"
"Yah, I need to stay late too..." Mandy sighed, "Long story"
"Listen" Taylor replied, "I gotta go, but we can talk about...stuff later?"
"Sure thing, see ya"
--
"Why were you fighting Taylor, Lander?"
"He was running his mouth"
"He's your teammate"
"He said some unacceptable things"
"It doesn't even matter" she sighed, "What he said--what he said is true, and I shouldn't even be here"
"What he said was not true" Lander replied, "He was upset"
"I did sleep with Jordan"
"What's your point?"
"He's right, I'm a slut"
"You're not a slut Roxy"
"You don't even care I slept with Jordan? Not caring about consequence"
"Well...it didn't mean anything, right?"
"I was drunk"
"Okay then. That settles it"
"I should really be going, before your girlfriend shows up out of thin air"
The truth is, she didn't want to go, she wanted to stay. She wanted to do alot more than stay.
"She can do whatever she wants"
"She doesn't mean that much to me"
"Neither do I" Roxy quietly said under her breath.
"That's not true"
Her head shot up and her eyes narrowed, "What are we Lander? Fuckbuddies, that's it"
"I like you Roxy, alot"
"Like me how?" Roxy suddenly got nervous, but coudln't run, a part of her wanted to hear what he had to say. A part of her had hopes of what he might say.
"Like like you"
She stepped back and Lander swallowed nervously, "I'm sorry"
"Lander, I like you too...kind of"
"Really?"
"Yah, even though we only--yah"
"Yah..."
"Jordan was nothing compared to you, you need to know that"
"And even though things are weird, I want to get to know you better"
"I feel the same way"
"Really?"
"Yah"
"Well Mandy's staying late tonight"
"What are you thinking?"
"We could go to the East End for coffee or something? I know Petra wouldn't be caught dead there--I mean if you want"
"I'd like that"
"Really?"
He just smirked, "Yah, really"
"Okay, well then...tonight, I'll text you and we can meet there"
"See you then"
"Bye Lander"
"Bye Roxy"
"What's up with you?"
"Nothing"
"Something happened, I haven't seen you this happy in a while"
"Nothing happened"
"You got laid"
"How the hell did you figure that out!?"
He just shrugged, "I was bluffing"
"You're good"
"So what happened?"
"I got laid, that's it"
"Who?"
"I'm not telling"
"Oh come on..."
Jordan kept his composure, "I can't"
"It's someone we know...challenge accepted"
"okay.."
"Roxanne"
"Fuck...yes"
"There's more to it though, I can see it on your face"
Jordan suddenly got nervous, swallowing a lump in his throat, "No"
"What else happened?"
"Nothing"
"Did you guys sleep together....more than once?"
"No...Mandy came home"
"Roxanne, then Mandy!?"
"No...Roxanne AND Mandy"
Ryan's mouth hung open for a minute before he responded, "You're joking right?"
Jordan just shook his head, "No"
"You had a threesome? For real!?"
"Yah, for real. But you can't tell anyone else"
"Lips are sealed...but I'm going to go out early for some drills. Uh...keep up the good work"
"Yah..."
He stood there for a minute, finally realizing what happened last night could really do some damage. Especially if his best friend found out.
"Real classy Eberle"
He turned around, knowing full well what happened, he knows.
"What?"
"Fucking my girlfriend and her friend?! I knew you were a horny bastard, but I thought you might have some respect for me"
Jordan stood his ground, "I don't know what you're talking about"
"I heard you bragging about your "accomplishments", so don't act like it didn't happen. I thought you just might be out at some bard last night, not with my girlfriend" he looked around and spotted Lander, "Oh, hey Lander!"
"Taylor, this isn't going to help anyone, let's just settle this, between us"
"Settle what? You know how much she means to me"
"And you still fucked Petra, don't pretend to be the innocent one here"
"She came onto me, FOR THE LAST TIME!" he exclaimed, "My girlfriend and the chick Lander's been with, you've really racked up the most points here Ebs"
"If I remember correctly, she dumped you. You don't have rights to her anymore"
Taylor raised an eyebrow, "And you do?"
"You think I planned this? They came onto me, and from what I've been hearing, and what you said about Petra, it seems like a pretty damn good excuse"
"Different situation and you know it. And we both know how desperate you are"
"FUck it, I'm sorry! Is that what you want to hear?"
"See the thing is Jordan, you're not sorry, if you even gave two shits you wouldn't have done anything"
"When I'm drunk, morals aren't always considered"
"Neither is the fact that I'm gonna pound your fucking face in"
"Oh come on Taylor, don't do this"
"It seems like a really good idea"
Lander stepped in between them, "Guys just back off"
"Oh, you wouldn't back off if you knew what he did"
"What?"
"Threesome, last night with Mandy and Roxanne"
"What the fuck?"
"Ask him, it's true"
"Okay, it happened alright, but if you ask those girls, they'd back me up"
"I guess it doesn't matter, since Lander only used Roxy for sex anyway. Oh well, seems she found a new toy"
"Fuck Taylor, it's not going to happen again, alright?!" Jordan snapped.
"Right, one time thing. I'm really curious to see who Roxy will move to next"
"Whoa, Hall, don't talk about her like that"
Taylor looked at Lander curiously and smirked, "What's it to you? You have a girlfriend"
"Doesn't mean I don't--just don't talk about her like that, she's human too, okay?"
"You're implying you actually care about her" Taylor laughed, "That's funny"
"She's nice Taylor. And I wouldn't be talking about caring for someone after what you did...with MY girlfriend"

Lander shot back, "Oh and ten bucks says Mandy goes down easier"

In one swift motion Taylor decked Lander in the face and Lander grabbed Taylor and tackled him into the ground.

sixteen.
Petra was a mean girl, but she wasn't stupid. Her heels clicked all the way from the lobby to the locker room in Rexall Place, which had just recently let the team in for full practice. It was a chance for the rookies to get used to the place, and to get ready for that opening game. But soon they'd be having their first pre-season match, against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Petra was determined to have things sorted out by then.
It was easy to find Lander. He was exactly where she thought he'd be, talking to that little pipsqueek with the huge tits. She was pathetic.
"Hey, Lander?" Roxanne approached him shyly.
"Yeah?" he ran a hand through his hair, making her melt.
"Um," Roxy snapped out of her approaching mood, "I got your spare gloves for you. They're dry now, if you want to give me the ones you've got now, so you're all set."
Lander grinned, "Thanks," and took them from her shaky hands. The sparks were starting to fly like crazy. She felt her face getting warm. He looked beautiful today, his chestnut hair soft enough to touch.
Seeing her cue, Petra shoved Roxanne out of the way and squealed, "Baaaaaby! There you are!"
Keeping his cool, Lander simply said, "Hey Petra."
"Have I ever told you how hot you are? I mean, like right now?" Petra purred, lifting up Lander's shirt and feeling his abs. She glanced at Roxy, who was struggling to pick up all the gloves that had been knocked out of the dryer.
Lander frowned, gently moving her hands away, "Petra, what the hell is going on?"
"Nothing. I just...I think I want you right now." Petra said with an evil grin. "I mean, who wouldn't?" She turned to Roxanne. "You'd have him if you were given the oppurtunity, right Intern?"
Roxy visibly swallowed.
Petra smirked, "Did I stutter? Answer me."
Roxy looked down at the floor, "Um...sure."
Lander immediately caught on and pushed her off him, "Petra, I'm not doing this right now."
"Yes you are." Petra grabbed him by his forearm and pulled him out of the locker room, leading him to the hallway, "Now you're mine." Lander helplessly watched Roxanne continue to struggle with the heavy glove dryer that had fallen as he was pulled away.
"Did you SEE the look on her face? Priceless." Petra said with a laugh.
"What the hell are you trying to pull?" Lander snapped.
Petra's face grew angry, "Do you think I'm stupid, Lander?"
"What?"
"I see the way you look at her. Need I remind you, you're MY boyfriend. And that toothpick with giant tits, is nothing."
"Excuse me? I don't look at her like anything."
Petra could feel her temper rising; she hated it when he tried to stand up to her, "If you so much as glance at her, or speak to her again...
"You don't get to talk to me like that. I'm your boyfriend, I'm not going to do anything."
She clenched her hand into a fist, "I can talk to you however I want. The second you piss me off, I can go right to my dad and tell him you RAPED me. Bye bye contract, bye bye career."
He replied without hesitating, "You need proof of that hon for him to do anything."
"I need nothing. I say the word, he drops the iron fist on your ass."
"It's really sad that your dad can't grow a pair."
"And yours will be gone if you talk to Roxanne again. I forbid you to speak to her."
Lander sighed, "Whatever, I've got a drill I have to run." He went to leave, only to feel her nails painfully dig into his arm.
"It's your call, Lander."
She released him, leaving the prickly feeling in his arm lingering.
-
Roxanne rummaged through her purse, searching for her car keys. She knew they were in there. But for some reason she couldn't seem to grasp them. And it was making her more frustrated and upset than she already was.
"FUCK, where are they?" Roxy cursed, feeling her cheeks start to burn.
"Here." Jordan seemed to appear from nowhere, bending down and picking them up off the pavement. He handed them to her simply. Roxy avoided his gaze, "Thanks."
She continued to search for the actual car key on her keyring, "Fuck, where is it?!"
"It's the big one..." Jordan said quietly.
"Thanks," Roxy replied, only to drop the keys again, feeling her cheeks start to burn, "Oh...fuck..."
"You want me to drive you home?" Jordan offered.
Roxy sniffed, shaking her head, "No..."
"I saw what she did...and I'm sorry." Jordan said.
Roxy sighed. He knew about Petra dangling Lander in front of her, "Doesn't matter."
"Yeah it does, she's a bitch."
"I meant it doesn't matter whether I care or not. What I'm doing is going to get me killed." Roxy sighed, "Don't act like you don't know. I'm sure that Lander's told you the things we've done...I mean, guys talk..."
Jordan had a concerned look on his face, "I do know, but I also know that he doesn't care about her."
Roxy said nothing.
"And the fact he keeps coming back to you...means something."
"It means I'm the only one who can keep him satisfied."
Jordan chuckled, "It means alot more than that Roxy. Lander doesn't sleep with the same girl more than once, because he likes variety, he likes mixing it up. And yet, he keeps coming back to you, instead of going to any puckbunny he can get his hands on."
"Depends on what I'm into that day."
Jordan raised his eyebrows.
"Don't give me that look."
Jordan smirked, "I see how you look at him. I wish I could look at someone that way sometimes."
Roxy avoided him, deciding instead to finally unlock her car, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"I'm not stupid, Roxy."
"I don't do relationships."
"But you still like him."
"He's great in the sack, that's it. It's not possible for me to have feelings for someone...not after what happened in high school."
"Roxy, how long ago was that? It's in the past, and come on...you two are good together, i can see it..."
"NO!" Roxy snapped, tears finally breaking free, "Jordan...I can't....he's...and I'm...midget with gigantic melons next to a God. We'd look weird."
Jordan rolled his eyes, putting up his hands, "Okay, you need to shut up, because you're gorgeous. And Lander, well...he's Lander, and obviously you two are together for a reason."
Roxy was stunned, "I don't know what to say."
Jordan sighed, "Sorry, I just...I think about these things alot...well...I'm just going to stop talking."
Roxy suddenly felt sorry for him, "I get it...you're lonely, aren't you?"
Jordan shrugged, "You'd think I'd be able to get a girl easily after my 'famous goal.'"
Roxy opened the passenger's seat door, "Get in. We can go back to my place, watch Grey's or something."
Jordan was surprised, but pleased, "I like that idea."
-
Roxanne and Jordan had never really just hung out the two of them, so it was slightly awkward at first. It was clear her heart was broken, and here he was, wishing he even had someone to pine over. Three or four beers later, Roxy was feeling pretty good.
"D'you want another one?" she asked, giggling like crazy.
"Naaah, I'm good," Jordan replied, "You're getting hammered, Roxanne."
"So what?" Roxy said with a smirk, "You wanna know something?"
"Sure."
"I've never kissed a guy with a gap between his teeth."
Jordan was taken slightly aback, "Lander's got one, I'm pretty sure you have."
"Not like yours," she slurred.
Jordan laughed, "So you're considering it now?"
"Can I have a taste?" Roxy asked, edging close.
"If you really want to..." Jordan replied, not once thinking she really would.
Before he knew it, Roxanne pressed her mouth to his, kissing him with so much tongue he thought he had died and gone to heaven. She trailed her tongue along the roof his mouth, giving off a unique sensation, and parting just as she traced it through his front gap.
"How's that?" he asked, smiling.
"Good, let me have some more," Roxy said quickly, going in for another kiss. She kissed him hard, letting her hand trail down to between his legs. Just as she expected, he was easily excited. She felt Jordan involuntarily moan into her mouth at her touch.
"I can offer you something more..." he said drunkenly.
Roxy smirked, "You see, Jordan...I have this special talent." She pushed him down on the sofa as she lowered herself to his waist. He watched in awe as she undid his belt, and then proceeded to undo the zipper- with her teeth!
"Oh god..." Jordan groaned. It'd been forever since he'd had any action, and he felt like he would burst at just the slightest touch.
Jordan's jeans had made it to the floor. Roxy teased him through his boxers, making him beg her to just get them off already. She shook her head, "Not yet."
He stared as she took off her sweater, then her t-shirt. Roxanne stood there with just her tight jeans and DD-cup bra, black and laced. Mentally he knew she'd been wearing it for someone else.
"What about Lander?" he asked. Morals for some reason came first today.
"What about him?" Roxy whispered seductively, "You know you want this, Jordan..." She purposely pulled back the band of his boxers and gently breathed on him. He went into spasms.
"Jesus..."
"You want it, and you're going to get it," Roxanne smiled, "Now, you be a good boy and let me take care of you..."
Jordan let out a groan as he felt himself dive deep inside her mouth. He'd never felt anything quite like this, watching her head bob up and down while his body was immersed in pleasure. It was hot, tight and complete ecstasy.
No wonder he was so disappointed when she stopped.
"You like?" Roxy asked, licking her lips.
"Whoa..."
"You're not as big as him, so it's easier," she said, "Hope you don't take that the wrong way..." Her hand slowly pumped him.
Jordan closed his eyes, "No...it's good...you're...mmmm..."
"I mean, at some point I'd like to do that, since it's my special talent," Roxanne continued, her hand moving faster and torturing Jordan, "But I'd have to practice on a cucumber or something, you know?"
"Yeah...yeah...oh god..."
All of a sudden, she stopped. The front door clicked. Mandy was standing there, her mouth hanging open. Busted...again.
"Oh shit..."
Mandy blinked. For some reason, she wasn't angry or disgusted this time. In a weird way, she was kind of turned on. That didn't make sense to her. After spending the entire night and day being miserable, the idea of having sex with someone else...was appetizing.
This was the chance. The chance to erase Taylor from her mind, at least for tonight. Jordan was hot, he always had been, but she wasted her time on Taylor- and in a relationship, no less! Being Roxy's best friend, she knew they worked well as a team...well, they never shared a guy, but hell, fuck Taylor. She was going to jump off the deep end, and swim like hell.
"I want a turn."
Roxy laughed, "Uh...ok?"
Jordan didn't know what to say, "You what?"
Mandy undid her jeans, "Roxy...get the lights. Let's show Jordan how we do things around here."
Jordan had no choice but to watch in shock as the lights went down low and both girls stripped down to their underwear in front of him. Mandy got on top of him and took of his shirt, sucking on his neck while Roxy continued to work her magic on his bottom half. Soon enough she got off and they both kneeled before him.
"Is it my birthday?" Jordan asked, in a daze.
"Let's work on this together," Mandy suggested.
"Good idea," Roxy said with a smirk. They both eyed his manhood, and then, at the same time, they started to finish him. Little did they know, that would take all night.
It was easy to find Lander. He was exactly where she thought he'd be, talking to that little pipsqueek with the huge tits. She was pathetic.
"Hey, Lander?" Roxanne approached him shyly.
"Yeah?" he ran a hand through his hair, making her melt.
"Um," Roxy snapped out of her approaching mood, "I got your spare gloves for you. They're dry now, if you want to give me the ones you've got now, so you're all set."
Lander grinned, "Thanks," and took them from her shaky hands. The sparks were starting to fly like crazy. She felt her face getting warm. He looked beautiful today, his chestnut hair soft enough to touch.
Seeing her cue, Petra shoved Roxanne out of the way and squealed, "Baaaaaby! There you are!"
Keeping his cool, Lander simply said, "Hey Petra."
"Have I ever told you how hot you are? I mean, like right now?" Petra purred, lifting up Lander's shirt and feeling his abs. She glanced at Roxy, who was struggling to pick up all the gloves that had been knocked out of the dryer.
Lander frowned, gently moving her hands away, "Petra, what the hell is going on?"
"Nothing. I just...I think I want you right now." Petra said with an evil grin. "I mean, who wouldn't?" She turned to Roxanne. "You'd have him if you were given the oppurtunity, right Intern?"
Roxy visibly swallowed.
Petra smirked, "Did I stutter? Answer me."
Roxy looked down at the floor, "Um...sure."
Lander immediately caught on and pushed her off him, "Petra, I'm not doing this right now."
"Yes you are." Petra grabbed him by his forearm and pulled him out of the locker room, leading him to the hallway, "Now you're mine." Lander helplessly watched Roxanne continue to struggle with the heavy glove dryer that had fallen as he was pulled away.
"Did you SEE the look on her face? Priceless." Petra said with a laugh.
"What the hell are you trying to pull?" Lander snapped.
Petra's face grew angry, "Do you think I'm stupid, Lander?"
"What?"
"I see the way you look at her. Need I remind you, you're MY boyfriend. And that toothpick with giant tits, is nothing."
"Excuse me? I don't look at her like anything."
Petra could feel her temper rising; she hated it when he tried to stand up to her, "If you so much as glance at her, or speak to her again...
"You don't get to talk to me like that. I'm your boyfriend, I'm not going to do anything."
She clenched her hand into a fist, "I can talk to you however I want. The second you piss me off, I can go right to my dad and tell him you RAPED me. Bye bye contract, bye bye career."
He replied without hesitating, "You need proof of that hon for him to do anything."
"I need nothing. I say the word, he drops the iron fist on your ass."
"It's really sad that your dad can't grow a pair."
"And yours will be gone if you talk to Roxanne again. I forbid you to speak to her."
Lander sighed, "Whatever, I've got a drill I have to run." He went to leave, only to feel her nails painfully dig into his arm.
"It's your call, Lander."
She released him, leaving the prickly feeling in his arm lingering.
-
Roxanne rummaged through her purse, searching for her car keys. She knew they were in there. But for some reason she couldn't seem to grasp them. And it was making her more frustrated and upset than she already was.
"FUCK, where are they?" Roxy cursed, feeling her cheeks start to burn.
"Here." Jordan seemed to appear from nowhere, bending down and picking them up off the pavement. He handed them to her simply. Roxy avoided his gaze, "Thanks."
She continued to search for the actual car key on her keyring, "Fuck, where is it?!"
"It's the big one..." Jordan said quietly.
"Thanks," Roxy replied, only to drop the keys again, feeling her cheeks start to burn, "Oh...fuck..."
"You want me to drive you home?" Jordan offered.
Roxy sniffed, shaking her head, "No..."
"I saw what she did...and I'm sorry." Jordan said.
Roxy sighed. He knew about Petra dangling Lander in front of her, "Doesn't matter."
"Yeah it does, she's a bitch."
"I meant it doesn't matter whether I care or not. What I'm doing is going to get me killed." Roxy sighed, "Don't act like you don't know. I'm sure that Lander's told you the things we've done...I mean, guys talk..."
Jordan had a concerned look on his face, "I do know, but I also know that he doesn't care about her."
Roxy said nothing.
"And the fact he keeps coming back to you...means something."
"It means I'm the only one who can keep him satisfied."
Jordan chuckled, "It means alot more than that Roxy. Lander doesn't sleep with the same girl more than once, because he likes variety, he likes mixing it up. And yet, he keeps coming back to you, instead of going to any puckbunny he can get his hands on."
"Depends on what I'm into that day."
Jordan raised his eyebrows.
"Don't give me that look."
Jordan smirked, "I see how you look at him. I wish I could look at someone that way sometimes."
Roxy avoided him, deciding instead to finally unlock her car, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"I'm not stupid, Roxy."
"I don't do relationships."
"But you still like him."
"He's great in the sack, that's it. It's not possible for me to have feelings for someone...not after what happened in high school."
"Roxy, how long ago was that? It's in the past, and come on...you two are good together, i can see it..."
"NO!" Roxy snapped, tears finally breaking free, "Jordan...I can't....he's...and I'm...midget with gigantic melons next to a God. We'd look weird."
Jordan rolled his eyes, putting up his hands, "Okay, you need to shut up, because you're gorgeous. And Lander, well...he's Lander, and obviously you two are together for a reason."
Roxy was stunned, "I don't know what to say."
Jordan sighed, "Sorry, I just...I think about these things alot...well...I'm just going to stop talking."
Roxy suddenly felt sorry for him, "I get it...you're lonely, aren't you?"
Jordan shrugged, "You'd think I'd be able to get a girl easily after my 'famous goal.'"
Roxy opened the passenger's seat door, "Get in. We can go back to my place, watch Grey's or something."
Jordan was surprised, but pleased, "I like that idea."
-
Roxanne and Jordan had never really just hung out the two of them, so it was slightly awkward at first. It was clear her heart was broken, and here he was, wishing he even had someone to pine over. Three or four beers later, Roxy was feeling pretty good.
"D'you want another one?" she asked, giggling like crazy.
"Naaah, I'm good," Jordan replied, "You're getting hammered, Roxanne."
"So what?" Roxy said with a smirk, "You wanna know something?"
"Sure."
"I've never kissed a guy with a gap between his teeth."
Jordan was taken slightly aback, "Lander's got one, I'm pretty sure you have."
"Not like yours," she slurred.
Jordan laughed, "So you're considering it now?"
"Can I have a taste?" Roxy asked, edging close.
"If you really want to..." Jordan replied, not once thinking she really would.
Before he knew it, Roxanne pressed her mouth to his, kissing him with so much tongue he thought he had died and gone to heaven. She trailed her tongue along the roof his mouth, giving off a unique sensation, and parting just as she traced it through his front gap.
"How's that?" he asked, smiling.
"Good, let me have some more," Roxy said quickly, going in for another kiss. She kissed him hard, letting her hand trail down to between his legs. Just as she expected, he was easily excited. She felt Jordan involuntarily moan into her mouth at her touch.
"I can offer you something more..." he said drunkenly.
Roxy smirked, "You see, Jordan...I have this special talent." She pushed him down on the sofa as she lowered herself to his waist. He watched in awe as she undid his belt, and then proceeded to undo the zipper- with her teeth!
"Oh god..." Jordan groaned. It'd been forever since he'd had any action, and he felt like he would burst at just the slightest touch.
Jordan's jeans had made it to the floor. Roxy teased him through his boxers, making him beg her to just get them off already. She shook her head, "Not yet."
He stared as she took off her sweater, then her t-shirt. Roxanne stood there with just her tight jeans and DD-cup bra, black and laced. Mentally he knew she'd been wearing it for someone else.

fifteen
Mandy woke up next to Magnus, and an involuntary smile spread on her lips as she watched him sleep for a moment, realizing what really happened last night. She took advantage of him, making it seem like she might actually feel something for him. Everything in the body language pointed that out. She had to leave.
She picked up her dress off the floor from last night and slipped it back on, grabbing her heels and calling a cab back home. She knew the boys would be up by now, and the possibility of running into him was big, but she just wanted to go home.
She down the hall of her apartment and heard a door open, and she quickly knocked on her door, she lost her key last night.
"Mandy?"
She turned around, recognizing the voice and automatically responded, "What?"
"Where were you?"
Roxy opened the door, not soon enough, "None of your business Taylor" she shut the door behind her and Roxy's eyes went wide.
"Where were you?"
"I crashed at Magnus'"
"Just crashed?"
She could see it on Mandy's face, after all they had known each other for almost their entire lives.
"Fine, I slept with him"
"I knew you liked him!"
"That's not why!" she responded back quickly.
Roxy narrowed her eyes, crossed her arms and looked at her sternly, "Then why?" even after all these years the one thing she could not figure out about Mandy was what went on in her head when it came to guys. She's been screwed with alot.
"I was upset about Taylor, and Magnus was right there, because I couldn't come back here last night, I didn't need to see him. I really only planned to sleep there, but I couldn't help it, I needed some kind of...feeling"
Roxy looked at her best friend and then felt a bit of sympathy. She didn't deserve this, she didn't deserve what Taylor did to her. She was finally starting to warm up to the fact that Mandy may have found a guy, a guy she could potentially love, and he throws everything she gave to him right back in her face. Petra. Of all people.
"I'm sorry Mandy, you don't deserve this"
"Nobody does"
--
The tension in the locker room was thick, and Magnus was doing all he could to not to go after his teammate. Yet, the fact that Mandy was gone when he got up, gave him second thoughts.
"You three are unusually quiet today" Jones piped up looking at the four rookies.
"Long night" was all Taylor said.
The rest of them nodded and Jones stood up this time and grabbed Taylor by the arm, "Jordan told me what happened last night, what the fuck were you thinking?"
"It doesn't matter, she doesn't want anything to do with me" he said as he spotted Mandy and Roxy across the hall.
"I don't blame her"
Taylor just turned his head over to Magnus, someone he thought might be able to help, because for a change, Taylor was actually hurting for what he did to her.
"Magnus?"
Magnus looked up as he finished tying his skate and leaned back on his stall, "Yah?"
"Can I talk to you for minute?"
"Depends"
"It's about Mandy"
"What about her? What you did last night was--"
"I know" he said quickly, "can I trust you with something?"
He just shrugged as Taylor continued on, "The girl is incredible and..and I may have more feelings for her than I thought. I didn't sleep last night, what I did to her was...it hur me too, seeing her cry--"
"What's your point Hall?"
"How do I fix this"
Magnus just sighed, "I don't know if you can"
"Why not?"
"You can tell, this girl she's--she's different, and the fact that you're the first boyfriend she's ever had, tells you something, she's not trusting Taylor, and she actually trusted you, of all people and you broke that trust"
"You're telling me this is unfixable?"
"Pretty much, just leave her alone, give her time, she's delicate"
Taylor just sighed and looked across at her again, "If you say so"
Magnus knew he had to talk to her, why did she leave? I mean, she knew this was his first time, and even he knew that the girl leaving in the morning, was not a good sign.
"Mandy?"
Mandy turned around to see Magnus, and again that involuntary smile spread on her face, but she quickly retracted it as she looked up at him, "Yah?"
"Why did you leave this morning?" he asked quietly, "I thought--"
"It wasn't you okay? I promise"
"Then what was it?"
"It was me, I just--" she looked over to see her boss and looked back at Magnus, "I have to go, I'm sorry"
--
"You still haven't given me details about last night. Was he good?"
Mandy kept her eyes on her work, "Yah...he was"
"What's that mean?"
"What? I said he was good"
"You seemed unsure"
"I've never felt like that before Roxy"
"Like what?"
"He said it was his first time, and it's hard to believe it after that. But he was also really different, careful, gentle, and his kisses were like--"
"Whoa!"
"What?"
"He totally made love to you, he loves you!"
"Will you keep your voice down?" Mandy whispered, "He does not, he doesn't even know me"
"Well he has some kind of feelings for you"
"And I still have feelings for Taylor"
"Even after"
"I don't get over something like him overnight, okay? Just don't go blabbing it to everyone, because I want to get over it"
"Magnus can help you do that"
"Roxy, I thought we said we weren't getting into relationships, I mean look what it got me? I'm not doing that to myself again, not here, not with these guys, okay?"
She just sighed and spotted Lander on the ice. She thought about him for a minute, what it might be like if for even just a moment they could be free. Free from Petra, be out in public together, without a care in the world, and then she looked back at her best friend. This caused alot of drama, and this isn't what she wanted when they came for this job. Everything was just starting to fall apart, and maybe all they needed to do was finish this and get out.
She picked up her dress off the floor from last night and slipped it back on, grabbing her heels and calling a cab back home. She knew the boys would be up by now, and the possibility of running into him was big, but she just wanted to go home.

fourteen.
we are loving the comments/reviews! please keep sending them, we love hearing what you think and what you wanna see in this story!
Mandy watched Magnus as he drove. Now that her eyes were obviously away from Taylor, she’d started to really look at him. He’d shown up wearing a grey v-neck beneath a black leather jacket with nice jeans. That mess of black hair on his head seemed to have been combed or something; yet it stilled remained just as though he’d rolled out of bed with it. How had she not noticed his great style?
Quietly, Mandy fidgeted with the hem of her dress, seeing Roxanne’s name appear on her phone every so often. Without a word she hit the ‘Ignore’ button. The flying texts she also disregarded.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to just take you home?” Magnus asked again.
Mandy shook her head, “I live in the same building, we all work at the same time tomorrow. I’d rather have to see him once instead of twice.”
Magnus seemed to nibble on his lower lip, “K then.”
To Mandy’s surprise, he didn’t live that far. The apartment building he’d chosen had a private entrance; it wasn’t that fancy but it certainly wasn’t dumpy either. Trying to throw her phone into her purse and undo her seatbelt, Mandy nearly jumped when she saw Magnus open the door for her.
“Sorry,” he offered his hand, she took it, and he closed the door then locked the car.
Magnus lived on the 9th floor. They were both very quiet on the elevator ride up. Mandy caught his eye for a brief moment and was take aback. Not once had she really looked in his eyes. They were soft and warm, not intense like Taylor’s. She felt a jolt of energy swell in her lower body; quickly she turned it off.
---
“Home sweet home.”
Magnus flicked on the light and the small apartment came into view. Mandy dropped her purse by the door as they both removed their shoes; the warm light coming from the living room inviting.
It was small and rather messy, he’d obviously not spent a lot of time here. Mandy glanced at the coffee table and the menagerie of items strewn across it. A calling card to Sweden, an Edmonton Oilers program, an empty water bottle. There was a little bit of furniture, not much to entertain with. It seemed....well, lonely.
Mandy followed him with wide, curious eyes. His room was small, like the rest of the house, with a simple closet, bedside table and most importantly a bed. It was a double with Oilers-blue sheets. Nervously, he scratched the back of his neck.
“You can sleep here, I’ll take the couch, because you’re the girl,” Magnus told her, “Um, do you want me to get a t shirt you can sleep in, or would-”
“I hate him.”
Magnus looked over to see she was crying.
“I hate him so much, Magnus,” Mandy said, angry tears streaming down her face, “I trusted him, for the first real time in my life, I trusted a guy. And he just threw it back in my face. It’s not fair.”
Magnus wet his lips, “...I know how you feel.”
Mandy looked at him curiously, “You do?”
“Yeah...” Magnus sighed, “Unfortunately...”
They were both quiet. Awkwardly quiet.
“Look, I know it hurts really bad right now, but it’ll get better, all right?” Magnus told her, “I mean...it’s hard and it sucks, but it will, I promise you.”
Mandy sniffed, “Magnus?”
“Yeah?”
“Do you think I’m pretty?”
His cheeks flushed a deep red and he looked down at the floor, “I think you’re very pretty.”
Mandy walked over to him and stood near, her face dangerously close to his, “I need a distraction...”
Magnus closed his eyes, “Mandy, you know I have a girlfriend...”
“Why are you with her?”
“Well, you see, it’s-”
“Do you think she’s prettier than me?”
“No, I mean, it’s not that-”
“Does this mean you’re on Petra’s side?”
“NO.”
Mandy was taken aback by his tone of voice. Magnus realized he’d scared her and immediately calmed himself, “Mandy...I’m not with Geraldine by choice. She and I don’t even like each other.”
She frowned, “What?”
“Petra set us up and decided I was perfect arm candy, if you will, for her best friend,” Magnus said shamefully, “I can’t break up with Geraldine because Petra will go berserk. And if Geraldine were to try breaking up with me-”
“-she’d force you back together as she sees fit.”
“Exactly.” Magnus shrugged. She definitely thought he was a wimp.
Mandy was silent for several seconds before she chose to lean in close to him. Magnus was about to say something when Mandy pressed her hungry mouth to his. She kissed him hard, forcing him to fall back onto the bed with her. Magnus lost complete control and worked his tongue into her mouth, kissing her more, letting her bite his lower lip.
Silently she wondered what cologne he was wearing; he smelled heavenly. Mandy parted her mouth and disbanded; choosing instead to kiss his neck. Magnus groaned, his hands gripping her sides. She nibbled at his flesh, sucking in some places, anything to make him moan louder for her.
In the midst of all this he came to his senses.
“Mandy, what are we doing?”
She blinked at him, tugging at the hem of his shirt, “You know what we’re doing.”
“No,” he gently pushed her off, “I don’t want you like this.”
Mandy pushed him back down, her eyes pleading, “Magnus, please...I just...I need to feel something...anything...”
Magnus was caught off guard then. She really was upset. Here was his chance to finally lose his virginity, and to the girl he’d been admiring no less. This was it.
Nervously, he swallowed, “I don’t think I have any-”
“I have one,” Mandy withdrew a condom from her purse, “Please, Magnus....”
It was so easy for him to fall under her spell, “Ok, just let me get the light...”
The city lights illuminated the room, giving a soft glow to the boring white walls. Mandy wait patiently as he came back to the bed, crawling on top of her. He was visibly shaking.
To ease him, Mandy stuck her hands underneath his shirt and started to rub his back, feeling the goosebumps on his skin. She ran her hand down and chest and - bingo! - he had a six pack waiting for her. Mandy grinned as she pulled off his shirt, touching his muscular arms and loving the body she was getting the chance to indulge in for the night.
Magnus, meanwhile, was thinking about the warmth between her legs. He’d never touched a girl before and wondered if she’d let him touch her. Magnus let his hand wander down to her hip, and along her thigh. Mandy let out a small noise, and to his surprise she took his hand and led him to the place it was seeking. Shyly, he felt around along her underwear, which were slightly damp, and became more aroused. Gently, he tugged at the fabric, pulled them down and completely off.
“Go ahead,” Mandy whispered, “I know what you want to do.”
Permission granted, Magnus’ fingers pressed against her womanhood, feeling the slick softness she held. Taking his time, he explored her, his thoughts racing at the idea of entering her. Her wetness felt sweet and inviting, slowly he slipped inside.
Mandy smiled against his lips, “Mmm...”
“Good?” he asked worriedly.
“Yesss,” Mandy whispered, “Take off my dress...”
Obedient, Magnus withdrew and busied himself with the zipper. It undid swiftly and to his excitement, he noticed Mandy had chosen not to wear a bra. She bit her lip, knowing this would make him happy, and waited for him to open the dress completely. With gentle hands, he undid the zipper completely.
“Wow...” he whispered, staring lustfully at her body. Now he felt he would burst at any moment.
Mandy sat up and undid his belt, “Your turn.” She smiled, pulling down his black pants and seeing the bulge in his boxers. Magnus blushed, not used to being so exposed, and to a beautiful naked girl no less. Excitedly Mandy removed his last piece of clothing and marveled at what she saw.
Hoping to continue, Magnus whined, “I don’t know how much longer...”
“Ok, you’re right,” Mandy said, lying back down on the bed, “Straight to business.”
Magnus suddenly felt his nerves take over as he opened the small plastic package. This girl had probably had a few guys, really good guys, and here he was, on his first drive, never having made love in his life. As soon as he was finished, he glanced down at her as he climbed on top, struggling with his weight as he slowly sunk inside of her.
Mandy wriggled her hips, this was always the best part. She spread a bit wider, as he was having trouble, holding onto his hips and easing him in, “There you go, easy, easy....mmmm...”
Slowly, he pulled out a little and sensations coursed through him. Mandy moved back and forth with him, letting him get used to the feeling of being in her. He wasn’t near as big as Taylor - not that size was what mattered to her - but his length was doing fine. Magnus exhaled a groan, this felt incredible, he’d never imagined this was how it would be.
Gently they moved together. Mandy was used to harder sex, not this- he looked her right in the eye, trembling. She put her hands on his shoulders and pulled him down to her, kissing him gently to calm him.
Magnus moaned into her mouth, parting to trail kisses down her neck, making Mandy shiver, her hands busy in his dark hair. She kept trying to speed things up, but he wouldn’t let her- instead, Mandy would feel him touch her somewhere or nibble on her neck, sending a hot wave of pleasure through her. It was strange but wonderful none the less.
For a good hour they did this. Mandy had never experienced sex like this before. Magnus kissed her in places she’d never been kissed, and held her so tightly that she couldn’t imagine being away from him. They rolled and turned in the sheets, their bodies not once parting. It soon got to a point where Mandy realized he was ready.
He quickened the pace, his breathing grew rapid. Mandy felt him tense up, and she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. She pressed her hips forward and instantly heard a moan escape from him. It felt heavenly.
“Oh god, Magnus...” she whispered, feeling him start to swell within her.
Magnus pressed his forehead to hers as they both climaxed, kissing her harder and harder. Mandy writhed beneath him; this was a feeling that she’d never felt before. As they slowly rode it out, she found herself falling back down, her eyes closing as the pleasure faded in her body.
“...Mandy?”
“Yeah?”
“Can I....can I hold you?”
Mandy rolled over and put her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat as it went back to normal, “Yes. Yes you can.”
Mandy watched Magnus as he drove. Now that her eyes were obviously away from Taylor, she’d started to really look at him. He’d shown up wearing a grey v-neck beneath a black leather jacket with nice jeans. That mess of black hair on his head seemed to have been combed or something; yet it stilled remained just as though he’d rolled out of bed with it. How had she not noticed his great style?
Quietly, Mandy fidgeted with the hem of her dress, seeing Roxanne’s name appear on her phone every so often. Without a word she hit the ‘Ignore’ button. The flying texts she also disregarded.
“Are you sure you don’t want me to just take you home?” Magnus asked again.
Mandy shook her head, “I live in the same building, we all work at the same time tomorrow. I’d rather have to see him once instead of twice.”
Magnus seemed to nibble on his lower lip, “K then.”
To Mandy’s surprise, he didn’t live that far. The apartment building he’d chosen had a private entrance; it wasn’t that fancy but it certainly wasn’t dumpy either. Trying to throw her phone into her purse and undo her seatbelt, Mandy nearly jumped when she saw Magnus open the door for her.
“Sorry,” he offered his hand, she took it, and he closed the door then locked the car.
Magnus lived on the 9th floor. They were both very quiet on the elevator ride up. Mandy caught his eye for a brief moment and was take aback. Not once had she really looked in his eyes. They were soft and warm, not intense like Taylor’s. She felt a jolt of energy swell in her lower body; quickly she turned it off.
---
“Home sweet home.”
Magnus flicked on the light and the small apartment came into view. Mandy dropped her purse by the door as they both removed their shoes; the warm light coming from the living room inviting.
It was small and rather messy, he’d obviously not spent a lot of time here. Mandy glanced at the coffee table and the menagerie of items strewn across it. A calling card to Sweden, an Edmonton Oilers program, an empty water bottle. There was a little bit of furniture, not much to entertain with. It seemed....well, lonely.
Mandy followed him with wide, curious eyes. His room was small, like the rest of the house, with a simple closet, bedside table and most importantly a bed. It was a double with Oilers-blue sheets. Nervously, he scratched the back of his neck.
“You can sleep here, I’ll take the couch, because you’re the girl,” Magnus told her, “Um, do you want me to get a t shirt you can sleep in, or would-”
“I hate him.”
Magnus looked over to see she was crying.
“I hate him so much, Magnus,” Mandy said, angry tears streaming down her face, “I trusted him, for the first real time in my life, I trusted a guy. And he just threw it back in my face. It’s not fair.”
Magnus wet his lips, “...I know how you feel.”
Mandy looked at him curiously, “You do?”
“Yeah...” Magnus sighed, “Unfortunately...”
They were both quiet. Awkwardly quiet.
“Look, I know it hurts really bad right now, but it’ll get better, all right?” Magnus told her, “I mean...it’s hard and it sucks, but it will, I promise you.”
Mandy sniffed, “Magnus?”
“Yeah?”
“Do you think I’m pretty?”
His cheeks flushed a deep red and he looked down at the floor, “I think you’re very pretty.”
Mandy walked over to him and stood near, her face dangerously close to his, “I need a distraction...”
Magnus closed his eyes, “Mandy, you know I have a girlfriend...”
“Why are you with her?”
“Well, you see, it’s-”
“Do you think she’s prettier than me?”
“No, I mean, it’s not that-”
“Does this mean you’re on Petra’s side?”
“NO.”
Mandy was taken aback by his tone of voice. Magnus realized he’d scared her and immediately calmed himself, “Mandy...I’m not with Geraldine by choice. She and I don’t even like each other.”
She frowned, “What?”
“Petra set us up and decided I was perfect arm candy, if you will, for her best friend,” Magnus said shamefully, “I can’t break up with Geraldine because Petra will go berserk. And if Geraldine were to try breaking up with me-”
“-she’d force you back together as she sees fit.”
“Exactly.” Magnus shrugged. She definitely thought he was a wimp.
Mandy was silent for several seconds before she chose to lean in close to him. Magnus was about to say something when Mandy pressed her hungry mouth to his. She kissed him hard, forcing him to fall back onto the bed with her. Magnus lost complete control and worked his tongue into her mouth, kissing her more, letting her bite his lower lip.
Silently she wondered what cologne he was wearing; he smelled heavenly. Mandy parted her mouth and disbanded; choosing instead to kiss his neck. Magnus groaned, his hands gripping her sides. She nibbled at his flesh, sucking in some places, anything to make him moan louder for her.
In the midst of all this he came to his senses.
“Mandy, what are we doing?”
She blinked at him, tugging at the hem of his shirt, “You know what we’re doing.”
“No,” he gently pushed her off, “I don’t want you like this.”
Mandy pushed him back down, her eyes pleading, “Magnus, please...I just...I need to feel something...anything...”
Magnus was caught off guard then. She really was upset. Here was his chance to finally lose his virginity, and to the girl he’d been admiring no less. This was it.

“Yeah?”
“Can I....can I hold you?”
Mandy rolled over and put her head on his chest, listening to his heartbeat as it went back to normal, “Yes. Yes you can.”
thirteen.
The two girls looked at themselves in the mirror and Mandy turned to her best friend, "We look great, not going to lie"
Roxy just sighed, cocking her head to the side, as if she was having second thoughts, "I don't know about this"
"What are you talking about!?" Mandy replied, "You look amazing"
"No, I mean...about this whole night, what if Petra finds us, what if--"
"Don't put a damper on this evening" Mandy replied, "Let's have some fun, okay?"
"Fine" she huffed, "Not that I'm going to have any fun with Lander, Petra will have him all night"
"Come on, it's just a party Roxy, there will be lots of guys there"
Roxy didn't want lots of other guys, she only wanted one.
--
"You guys look great" Jordan said meeting the two of them at the back entrance.
Taylor was eyeing Mandy the entire time, and Mandy could feel his eyes on her the entire time, and she suddenly felt a bit self concious. As they reached the door Mandy turned around to face Taylor, "Guys...you go ahead..."
"You okay?" Roxy asked.
"Fine, just need to talk to Taylor for a minute, go ahead, we'll be in in a minute"
Her and Jordan went ahead and Mandy turned back to Taylor, "What's wrong?" he asked.
"You know staring is rude"
He just smirked, "Staring? Me?"
She got a bit closer, tracing her hand down his chest, "You know" she whispered, "I don't party very often"
"No?" he replied closing in on her.
"But, with you, I might make an exception"
"You know..suddenly I'd rather go back to my place..." a small smile appeared on his lips and Mandy hooked her fingers inside the belt loop of his pants, pulling him in as close as she could. She was getting to him, she could tell.
"Mandy" he said quietly, "We can't do this out here..."
She looked around, remembering her surroundings. It was as if when she was with Taylor, it didn't even matter where she was, because it was only him and her.
"You're right" she sighed, "I guess we should go in there"
"Just lay low though...okay?"
"I can do that"
--
"Not even Lander interests me tonight" Petra huffed, sitting back down.
Geraldine glanced over at Magnus and back to Petra, "Well then what does interest you tonight?" she replied, almost with a tone.
"Was that tone?" Petra snapped.
"No" she said quickly.
Petra eagerly looked around the room, like a hunter searching for prey. Her eyes stopped and the most evil smile appeared on her lips. Geraldine knew that look, and it was a look that even scared her.
"Perfect" Petra smiled, "This will be fun"
"What?" Geraldine replied, "Who?"
"Doesn't matter, I'll be back in a few okay?" Petra stood up, her black pumps clicking across the floor as she stopped in front of him.
"Hey Taylor"
"Hi..."
"I'm sorry Mandy isn't here" she said, "I just can't have interns at this kind of party it just--"
"Yah, I get it Petra, it's fine" he replied trying to walk away.
She grabbed his arm gently and he directed his attention back to her, "I need a hand with something, it will only take a minute...do you mind?"
He just sighed and nodded, "Fine"
He followed her to a small back room of the Rouge, not even wondering what Petra could possibly need help with back here.
"Here we are" she smiled. She let him go in first and as he turned around she pushed him against the wall and laughed.
"Fuck Petra, what is this?"
"You know you're going to enjoy this...right?"
"Enjoy--" and before he could finish his sentence she was already unbuttoning his pants, "Petra, I'm not--Holy fuck"
--
"Have you seen Taylor?" Mandy asked, searching the small room of crowded people.
"No" Roxy shook her head, "But I did see Lander, and he looks absolutely--"
"Yah I get Roxy" she replied completely ignorning her friend. Roxy just sighed and sat down next to Jordan, "What's your problem? I thought you'd at least try and work the room, what's up?"
"I saw something..." he said quietly.
ROxy suddenly got interested and leaned in closer, "What?"
"Taylor"
"What about him?"
"I saw him go to the back...with Petra"
Roxy's eyes grew wide and she looked up at her best friend, knowing what something like this could do to her, and she wasn't going to let that happen.
"We have to find them...before Mandy does"
"How are we supposed to get away from Mandy...without her knowing we're gone?"
Roxy quickly glanced around the room, spotting Magnus and subtly pointing towards him, "That's how"
--
"Magnus, hey"
"Hey Roxy, what's up?"
"Mandy's all alone over there...can't find Taylor, you should go talk to her"
His face suddenly got red as he looked in her direction, "I can't"
"Why?"
"Because, I just can't"
"Come on, she looks amazing though, I'm sure she'd love to hear that from you"
"She looks beautiful..."
"Then go tell her that" she pushed Magnus towards Mandy and Mandy just laughed.
"Hey Magnus"
"Hi."
"You look great tonight"
He just smiled, "Thanks, and you look amazing"
She just laughed, "Thanks, I try"
Magnus paused, not knowing what else he could say to her. He watched as she was looking over his shoulder subtly, but enough to know she was looking for Taylor.
"Looking for someone?"
"Yah, have you seen Taylor?"
"Uh, I think the last time I saw him, he was on his way to the washroom, come with me and I'll go and check"
"Okay"
Mandy followed Magnus towards the back of the building, keeping an eye out in case he popped up. As they got to the end of the hall, she spotted Jordan and Roxy, in an awkward spot.
"What's going on guys?"
They both looked at each other and then back at her, "Washroom"
"Why are you standing out here then?"
"Just chatting, it was kind of loud out there"
"No sign of him in there" Magnus replied stepping out of the washroom. They heard a commotion from the closet and Roxy jumped quickly, knowing it had to be them, and she feared for the worst.
"Someone's going at it in there" Mandy laughed looking over at the two of them, "Wouldn't surprise me if it was Petra and some desperate kid"
Roxy swallowed a lump in her throat and Jordan avoided eye contact, and shoved his hands in his pockets. Mandy looked up at Magnus who was just as confused as she was, "What's really going on guys? Do you know who's in there?"
All Roxy did was nod her head.
"Who?"
She didn't answer, so instead Mandy grabbed the door handle and swung it open and to her dismay and disgust, there he was.
"What the fuck?"
"Mandy I--"
"What the fuck are you bitches doing here?" Petra exclaimed, "I thought I told you--"
"Don't you fucking say a word to me" Mandy snapped at Petra, "I knew you were low, and garbage, but this low, I didn't think anyone could get this low"
"He came on to me" Petra replied crossing her arms, "Why would I go after this?"
Taylor did up the belt of his jeans and looked up helplessly at Mandy, who's eyes were brimming with tears, "Taylor?"
"Mandy, I swear it's not what it looks like"
"Then what is it?" Roxy piped up standing next to her best friend.
"She said she needed--"
"What's going on?" Lander stepped into the room and Petra clinged onto him for dear life.
"He tried to come onto me" she said innocently, "He--"
"Seriously dude? That's low" he replied taking Petra out of the room. She just looked back at Mandy with an awful smirk on her face.
"What were you thinking?" Jordan stated, "You know she's destined to ruin people's lives, especially theirs"
"I didn't, Mandy you have to believe me" he tried to take her hands but she pulled away.
"Don't you dare touch me!"
"Mandy...baby.."
"You do not call me that anymore" she replied, "I trusted you, I thought you--I thought you meant what you said the other night"
"I did Mandy"
"I'm leaving, I can't stand to look at you for another second"
She stormed out of the room, and much to her surprise Magnus was quickly behind her.
"Mandy" he said gently grabbing her arm, "I'm so sorry"
"It's fine" she said wiping her eyes, "I just need to--" she looked up at him and stopped, "Magnus...can you take me home?"
"Sure"
"Or better yet..." her hands started to wander just above his waist, and his eyes grew wide.
"Mandy, this is not--"
"Just get me out of here...just take me anywhere but here"
Roxy just sighed, cocking her head to the side, as if she was having second thoughts, "I don't know about this"
"What are you talking about!?" Mandy replied, "You look amazing"
"No, I mean...about this whole night, what if Petra finds us, what if--"

"I didn't, Mandy you have to believe me" he tried to take her hands but she pulled away.
"Don't you dare touch me!"
"Mandy...baby.."
"You do not call me that anymore" she replied, "I trusted you, I thought you--I thought you meant what you said the other night"
"I did Mandy"
"I'm leaving, I can't stand to look at you for another second"
She stormed out of the room, and much to her surprise Magnus was quickly behind her.
"Mandy" he said gently grabbing her arm, "I'm so sorry"
"It's fine" she said wiping her eyes, "I just need to--" she looked up at him and stopped, "Magnus...can you take me home?"
"Sure"
"Or better yet..." her hands started to wander just above his waist, and his eyes grew wide.
"Mandy, this is not--"
"Just get me out of here...just take me anywhere but here"
