Let’s just say that when he got back from the LA road trip, he was not happy with ht and it was a doozy

Stevie and Sutton had just brought me home from the hospital The transfusion was like afantastic My energy was back, there was color into Stevie--and I was actually hungry I did have to stay overnight in the hospital, but only because it was too late to let o by the time the transfusion had been co, the discharge nurse pushed h quickly, and I was back at my apart Sutton and Stevie had to get back to work, but I assured them I was fine on ht to my place once the teaht

How could I not? Not when Stevie told me that Garrett was pissed I told him not to call Certainly not when I heard that Garrett threatened to kick Stevie’s ass, which was not cool, in h…when I opened the door to let Garrett in, his eyes traveled critically over my body and his lips were in a flat line He couldn’t find any fault with h, because not only did I feel so much better, but I had taken the time to blow out my hair and put makeup on I knew I looked fantastic

That didn’t stop hi into me even as he took me into his arms After he pulled rowled atStevie callpissed"

I rolled ood No sense in fanning the flames

Instead, I pulled back and gave him a stern look "I know you’re mad, but I didn’t want to worry you For Pete’s sake, Garrett…you were getting ready to step out onto the ice It’s not like I was dying or anything"

Yeah…that wasn’t the

Garrett released his hold on ry "That’s really fucking nice, Olivia Just great"

Then he spun away fro my door behind hi the door open and running out after him He was already halfway to his car when I called out, "Garrett…don’t leave I’m sorry"

He just threw a dismissive hand up over his head and snarled at me, "I’ll be back later, when I cool down"

That "later" ended up being three hours later, and I worried a trail inhim what happened? I truly didn’t want hiame up Aren’t those noble reasons? And besides…it’s not like we’reeach other only a little over a uilty to having a full head of steaet mad at me? I’m the one with cancer…not hiet to call the shots

It wasn’t pretty when he walked back in I laid into hiht back tome insensitive and self-absorbed I aler drained ahen he pulled hly in to his body and practically wrapped hi about you," he murmured with his face pressed into uilt lanced back through ain I’m in this all the ith you, and I need you to be all the way in with me Give me that respect, at least"

That was it I was done for His words were spoken with a genuine need to be a part of this with me He had taken this responsibility on his shoulders, and the price of caring forto worry aboutthat he wanted to do, and when I prevented that, I was not giving hiht

So I proain I promised that after heabout hiive him the benefit of the doubt, that he could handle this and still be a competitive hockey player

So, why do I still want to slap so like I’ to see that I’reat, and so ready to have him fuck me the way he has before

Instead, I suffered excuse after excuse of hiot back…okay, I understood that I had just been released froht

The next night, I got that too He said he didn’t want to overexert me and that maybe we needed to wait another day Just to th was back and I wasn’t overtaxed

The third, fourth, and fifth days were impossible to have sex with him because he went on a short three-day road trip and I had to

But I reached ht when Garrett flew in late and showed up at my apartment I was pri sex Instead, he gave me some bullshit that he was "too tired" froht’s sleep He gave me a sweet kiss onht
