I made it.

Wemade it.

THEO

The hockey team is playing a shutout and, so far, hasn’t suffered any new injuries, leaving me with not a lot to do besides watching Jax squirm in the seat directly behind the glass. And because I have nothing to do, and because just having Jax near me is temptation in the most addictive form, I’ve been texting him almost the entirety of the third period.

Me

If you keep looking at me like that you’re going to need to go into my office.

Jax

I’m watching the game thank you very much

Plus, if you would stop looking at me you’d never even know.

Me

I can’t not look at you and you know it.

Jax

Click into the last app that was installed on your phone…

What the hell is he talking about?

Looking up, I see Coach is yelling about the lines switching, so I use that time to click into the app. Once it loads it takes a second to register what it is, and then it dawns on me.

Me

You didn’t…

Jax

Oh, I did.

Desperate to test it out, I raise the vibration bar to about halfway. Out of the corner of my eye I watch him nearly jump out of his seat.

I wonder for a second how the hell he got the app on my phone, and then I’m reminded that Jax is nothing less than a genius when it comes to anything tech, and that thought is gone before I can blink.

Smirking deviously, I ask:

Me

I wonder what this other bar does

Jax

Theo…

Me

I think you’re going to want to go to my office now.

Jax

Ohhh, I kinda like this funky role-play
