I can’t blame him. Coach Hawke is a hot, tattooed former NHLer.

“Me too,” I admit not having realized I loved being so many of Teddy’s firsts.

Boyfriend Beta Test: so am i the size queen or r u?

Dick Tease: Maybe we should compare dick sizes next time we’re together?

Rhys changed Teddy’s contact to Size Queen

If he’s going to make me talk about this, I’m going to make it fun.

Size Queen: thats a fantastic idea!

I start laughing again.

Dick Tease: How did the game go?

Size Queen: we have another period

Dick Tease: I didn’t realize it was so early.

I look at my wrist and realize I don’t have my watch on then laugh more.

Dick Tease: Are you feeling good about it?

Size Queen: r u ok?

Dick Tease: I might be a little drunk.

Size Queen: do you lose the ability 2 time when drunk?

Dick Tease: Yes. That’s it. I lost time.

Size Queen: its a common problem

“So who is he?” Cox asks.

“He plays for Summerset,” I admit because I might as well go all in on this.

He cocks his head to the side. “Which one?”

I get a bit warm in the face. “The goalie.”

“Is he the big guy? I think I went to a camp with him a few years back. Ellis right?” He pulls out his phone.

Fuck. Why is hockey such a small world.

Before I can say anything he starts laughing. “It is!”

I brace myself waiting for him to disapprove or something. Maybe Teddy was right and it’s bad to sleep with the enemy.

“If you think I’m going to tell you off, I’m the last person who will. I don’t really care to be that much of a hypocrite,” Cox says coaxing me out of my shell.

“You don’t think anyone will care that he plays for Summerset?”

He shrugs. “Life is too short to care what other people think.”

“Fucking true.”
