Chapter 20// Better life stands ahead of you

I shut my phone as James emerges from the bathroom in a grey suit with a white shirt and purple tie on.

"Your turn," James says as I walk over to him as he plants a kiss on me.

"You look handsome," I say as I make my way passed him to the bathroom/

Closing the door, I take out my clothes, which were at the bottom of James's bag.

I change from the clothes I had on to a purple flowing shirt and a pair of jeans.

Opening the door, I walked out as James attacks me.

"James,"
He just places his lips onto mine as we kiss passionately.

"I'm glad you came with me,"

"Me too, can't wait for how Lauren's night was,"

"You know how sex feels,"
I begin to laugh at the comment.

"Your funny,"

We just sit there on the bed and watch TV until it was time to go down and get breakfest.

"I'll text Lauren to see if she is up," I say as I pick up my phone and begin to text Lauren.

Me: You up?
I hit send as I got a reply

Lauren: Yes I am up. Meet you at breakfest
I close the phone as I get up off the bed.

"She will meet us down there. Do you have morning skate?" I ask.

"Probably will find out once we get there," James says as he makes his way over to me as he wraps his arms around me and begins to kiss me, very passionately.

Just as James places his hand on my leg to go up, my phone began to ring like crazy.

"Grr phone,"
I pick it up and say hello.

"Good morning sweetie. How is Edmonton?" Mom asks.

"It's good, me and James got to bunk down together last night. How is Eddie?"

"He is great, just playing outside right now. Want to say hi to him?"

"I'll call before he goes to bed tonight. We are heading down to breakfest. Tell him mommy and daddy loves him,"

"Alright, go eat and I'll talk to you tonight,"

"Ok, Love you mom,"
I close the phone.

"Hows Eddie doing?" James asks as I place the phone in my pocket.

"He is good, he's playing outside,"

"I can't wait to see him,"

"Me too,"
We made our way out of our hotel room and head for the elevator.

James pressed the down button as the doors open as Steve and Lauren are there.

"Hey," I say as we walk on and the doors close.

"Hey, how did you guys sleep?" Lauren asks.

"Yep, how about you?"
I knew what they did.

"We slept great, well we didn't get much sleep,"

"I kinda figured that, was it good?"
She pushes me as I laugh.

"So James, you ready for today?" Steve asks, going on to a different topic.

"Yep ready as I'll ever be," James says as the doors open.
We all walk out then head for the ballroom of the hotel.

Walking down the hall and into the ballroom, it was beauiful.

We go over to a table and sit down with a few people.

"So how was your first night James?"

"It was good, got some good rest. How was your night RJ?" James asks.

"I didn't sleep, this man wouldn't allow me,"
He pointed to a guy that I swear I saw before.

"Where you on the Penguins at all?" I ask.

"Me? I was yes. How did you know?"

"Your Letestu, right?"

"Yeah I am, your a pens fan?"

"Yep, I remember you from a few games I went too,"

"Ahh well please tell me you are a jackets fan now?"

"I'll become one, takes time,"
He laughs.

"I have a young son who is a diehard pens fan and Neal fan,"
I point to James.

"Well hey thats who he likes, so be it. So you dating him?"

"Yep,"
We all talk some more as I got to meet almost the whole team.
The one that stood out was Jack Johnson, when me and Sid tried to date before we became fuck buddies he would talk about Jack as well as Colby Armstrong aka Army.

After talking and breakfest, we head onto the bus and head for the arena.

The bus pulled up to the back of the arena as the doors open.
James let me me walk off the bus first as I make my way off onto the ground.

Looking behind me I see Lauren walking down with James and Steve behind her.

"Steve come with me," Jarmo says.

"I'll be back Lauren," Steve says as I watch him kiss her on the head as he walks off.

"Wonder whats going on?" Lauren asks.

"No idea," James says as all three of us walk into the arena and head for the locker room.
Once at the locker room Ryan and someone else is standing outside.

"Why are you doing here Whitney?" I ask as he turns to us.

"He just got traded here this morning," Ryan says.

"What??" Lauren asks.

"I guess they made a deal early this morning, me and Justin here are Blue Jackets,"
Wow my cousin is coming to Columbus.

"Come in here gentlemen, we need to get you fitting for clothes and get jerseys on you,"
They both walk in.

"Did Steve get traded too?" Lauren asks.

"Let me go see,"
James heads into the locker room as me and Lauren stay put.

"I hope he didn't get traded," Lauren says.

"He probably didn't get traded," I say.
After a few minutes go by, Steve emerged from the locker room.

"Lauren, I got traded to the Flyers," Steve says.
I walk a little bit from them cause I know what Lauren is gonna do.

"You got traded? What the fuck Steve. We had a great night and you get traded today.?"

"Lauren I didn't know. Come with me,"

"No I'm not leaving the only family I have to be with you,"
Lauren ran off in the direction of the exit.

"Steve, you don't know LC, James Ryan!!!" I yell as I head down the hall after Lauren.

"Lauren wait up!!"
She just kept running as I had to stop and breathe.

"Whats wrong babe? Why are you here?"
I turn to see James behind me.

"Go..get...Lauren. She is running away," I say as James immediately begins running in the direction I showed him.

I breathe as I see Steve walking up.

"I wish she wouldn't have reacted like that," Steve says.

"Lauren got her heart broke before we left Pittsburgh, now you broke it. she's been through enough Steve. I moved with James when he got traded but thats because I love him and our son loves him," I say.

"I wish she would move with me,"

"Steve she wouldn't leave unless she has some kinda family with her like me. I'm her friend and only family she has,"
Me and Steve talked more until he headed back to pack his bag up and leave.

"I found her,"
I turn as I see James walking without Lauren.

"Where is she?" I ask.

"She is in a women's bathroom upstairs. I talked to her a little from the outside and she just cried. I told her I'll come get you,"

"Thank you,,"
I hug him as she showed me the way to the bathroom.

"Head back downstairs and get suited up,"
I kiss James as he begins to head back to the locker room.

I knock on the door saying "Lauren it's me. Can I come in?"

"I can't believe he got traded,"
I walk in and I see her crying into the sink.

"It's ok Laur,
I tried to comforted her as she let the tears come down her face as she lets her feeling out.

After she does that, she wipes her eyes.

"Feel better?"

"A little, I'm just upset still,"

"I can understand, Steve isn't here anymore he left the building before I came back here,"

"I'm gonna miss him though,"
I told her it will be ok and someone else will come into her life and never leave. That's the way I feel about James.
