Until I Get You (Fairview Hockey, #1)

by Claire Contreras

I heard something shift behind me as I tied my shoe, but I ignored it. After that, everything went black.

FUCK

“I need to write something for him.”

I’m so fucking sorry. I love you too much. X, Lyla James

She thought that after writing that she loved me, actually writing it, I was going to just, what, let her go? Oh, no. I chuckled at my thoughts. I was going to find her, and when I did, she would wish she hadn’t run from me.

..is that a threat?

“What will you do when you find her?” Nolan asks, looking as concerned as Fitz. “Every time you talk about her, it looks like you want to fucking kill her.” “He’s not wrong,” Nolan adds. I look at both of them. I don’t need a mirror to tell me what my expression must look like. “I’m going to make her life hell.”

So you love her so much you hate her?

Delilah Duke Guzman.

No she didn’t

Because of her, I got fucked over on everything I’d been promised. In less than two months, she managed to shatter everything I’d worked my entire life for. And, for what? I ended up seriously injured, got fucked over by the team I was supposed to sign with, and didn’t even get the girl. I. Didn’t. Even. Get. The. Girl.

Bro she tried to tell you

Delilah Duke Guzman. I shake my head and smile again. I can’t remember the last time I genuinely smiled. Delilah Duke Guzman. If she wants, she can keep the first name. I’ll probably never call her that, so it won’t matter. Duke is permanent. I need to get the James back in there.

So do you hate her or love her??

“You have a wife?” “Not yet, but I will soon.” I just have to guilt her into it.

“Put your lips on her and I’ll make you swallow your fucking teeth.”

I should’ve sent someone to kidnap her and bring her to me.

“Pack a bag,” I say again. She blinks. “I can’t just leave because you demand it.” “No?” I close the distance between us. “I think you owe it to me.” “I owe it to you to leave with you?” “You owe me for a lot of things.”

“And you know what else? You weren’t the only one who was hurt that day. I was also attacked and sent to the hospital, so just. . .fuck you.” “What?” I pull back, her admission hitting me in the center of my chest. “What do you mean you were attacked? What hospital? What are you talking about?”

YOU DUMBASS

“I’m so sorry, Lyla James. I don’t even know what to apologize for first, but I’m sorry for all of it,” I say against her neck. “Please don’t stop caring.”

You better let the anger go and start groveling bitch

CHAPTER 37 LYLA DELILAH-WHATEVERTHEFUCK YOU WANT TO CALL ME

This was so funny 😂😂

The only reason he quit hockey was because he knew it was the only way he’d find you.”

Okay but like she didn’t ask him to ruin his life he made that decision

“That’s how they met David Jameson.”

I knew it

“I’m going to show up and I’m going to kill him.”

“You could never be my nightmare, Lachlan Duke.” I stand straight and wait until he’s fully paying attention. “I love you more than I hate anything.”

“Are you going to be mad if I tell you I bought you a ring?” I pull away to look at him. “When did you buy me a ring?” “I’m not answering that,” he says, and I can tell he’s had it for a while.

YEARS HES HAD IT FOR YEARS

I had something planned, but I haven’t rehearsed it in a while,”

YEARS BITCH

CHAPTER 48 LYLA

Respectfully, I’ve had 9 chapters in a row from your POV… let’s switch it up

I’m still looking at my phone when someone takes the seat in front of me.

Oh shit

“Yeah, but if you’re in jail for life, in a few years, I might want to date someone new.” “Stop.” He shoots me a warning look. “Maybe in a few years, I’ll want to have a husband and some little kids running around our yard and...” “STOP.” His hands form fists as he screws his eyes shut. “Stop stop stop, jesus fucking christ stop. I won’t kill him. I’ll stop when you tell me to, just shut the fuck up.” “Okay. I’m stopping.”

about. I can’t remember the last time I prayed. I gave up on faith a long time ago, but the fact that I got lucky enough to land this woman twice, really makes me question my belief system.
