A Good Puck – Rochelle Wolf (1)

“It’s okay. You can call me that if you want.” Olive smiled. The words made Charlie happier than she wanted to admit. “You can call me darling anytime.” “I’ll hold you to it… and the earlier promise we made.” “Please.” 1kitap1.com/en WAKING up with Charlie in her arms was not where Olive expected last night to lead, but she was not disappointed that it had ended that way.

They’d ended up showering together again, lazily kissing before collapsing into bed. With Charlie’s game the next day, Olive did not want to test out any more of their sexual compatibility, and Charlie was more than happy to turn in early to get her rest. It was a little awkward when Charlie thanked Olive for the experience, but Olive joked that it was her duty as a Canadian to make sure that their athletes were well-prepared and rested for the game. Elbows Up, and all that. Now in the morning light, Olive couldn’t resist studying Charlie’s resting face.

She had a natural beauty to her, and it was almost hard to believe she was a professional athlete and not a model. Olive was sure the two overlapped occasionally, but she was almost tempted to suggest that to her as a potential career. Olive had a feeling Charlie wouldn’t see it that way, but she loved her muscles. There was nothing sexier than someone who could support you, literally and physically, and Olive was more than happy to make Charlie see that in the future. “Morning,” Olive said, and kissed Charlie’s cheek.

She didn’t want to wake her up, but Charlie had mentioned needing to be up early. Based on the light creeping in, it was almost time for the alarm Charlie had set to go off, but Olive wanted to spend some more time with her before she had to go. Charlie rubbed her eyes open. “Good morning.” She stood up and stretched, the robe only showing Olive bits and pieces of the gorgeous skin she knew was underneath.

Olive was being a patriot by letting her leave her bed, and it was one of the most patriotic things she had done in recent history. She wondered if she could get the Prime Minister to write her a letter?

OLIVE KEPT REPLAYING the moment in her head. “We really aren’t right for each other,” the ex-who-shall-not-be-named said to her over the phone yesterday. Yesterday. The night before their big anniversary trip to Italy. And on the phone?! Olive had wondered why her ex was acting distant lately, not really as excited for their upcoming trip as she was. It was hard enough taking the time off work for three weeks. The least her ex could’ve done was tell her sooner so she could’ve tried to cancel the vacation, or at least tried to look into getting a refund for the trip.

But it was looking as if Olive would be stuck here in her apartment, single and alone for the next few weeks instead. The thought of going back to work filled Olive with a dread even stronger than the idea of this breakup. She sighed dramatically, scrolling through her phone. She’d barely gotten any sleep, and she was supposed to be on her way to the airport now, but that was the last thing on her mind. Olive’s doomscrolling ended when a call from her sister flashed across the screen.

Oh God, she was going to get anxiety panics every time she saw someone calling her now. The memory of yesterday was too fresh. “Yes?” Olive asked when she answered, not even bothering with a pleasantry. “Shouldn’t you be on the way to the airport now?” Bronwyn asked. “What part of ‘I don’t have a girlfriend to go with anymore’ don’t you understand?”

Bronwyn sighed, and Olive could picture her shaking her head at her. “Just go anyway. You said the vacation was paid for already, right? She already told you she won’t be there, so you may as well take advantage of the shitty situation.” “That’s ridiculous, I can’t just go by myself,” Olive immediately refused. “Why not? You’re thirty, aren’t you?” Olive gasped. “How rude! I’m a sensible twenty-nine. Don’t remind me. I don’t want to be dealing with a quarter-life crisis in addition to heartbreak.”

“First of all, your quarter-life crisis would’ve been five years ago. And are you sure you’re really mourning the breakup and not just the idea of being in a relationship?” That was entirely too much logic for one sentence, and Olive didn’t bother with a response. When she didn’t answer, Bronwyn continued her tirade. “Just go. I think you really need this, Olive. Just you and the Italian views, good food and good vibes. You need a vacation from work. Do you really want to spend the next three weeks moping?”

“…No,” she eventually responded. “Exactly. Just go. And let me know when you get on the UP Express. I’ll be stalking your location.”
