Kindle Notes & Highlights
Jessica wants to be my whole world, and yeah, I want a relationship, a person I can spend my life with, but that can’t be all I have. I need hockey, my mom, my baby sister I adore, and then there’s Tripp. Tripp’s my bro, and he owns a good chunk of me.
“Move over,” I tell him before crawling along the middle of the bed and flopping down between them.
😧
.... No you didn’t
“Umm … yes? Well, no, not really, but I could want it. If it made her stop acting like a …” I cut my words off. My momma taught me to only speak nicely of women, and if I can’t say nothing nice, I shouldn’t talk at all.
🙂↕️
“Tripp?” “Yeah?” “Can you hold me?” I wriggle closer to him. “Fuck’s sake, I’m naked under here.” “And? It’s nothing I haven’t seen before. Besides, the blanket is between us, so it’s not like it’s gay.” “Right. Because being gay would be terrible.”
What’s going on? But also you’re so cute
“Well, if you don’t want to talk about it, do you want to go play golf?” “Yes, please. Anything to not think about the breakup. Or not breakup? Do you think we’re broken up?”
In one of MY go to series?! 🤮
“Good boy. Now, while you wait for her to respond, let’s go play some golf.”
This is hard on me
But even before all the stupid feelings that are unrequited and stupid, I’m one of those gay guys who didn’t fight for marriage equality. The way I see it, hetero couples are screwing it up on their own. They didn’t need to bring us into it.
🤨
The whole time we sit there watching these random people get married, I try to imagine Dex and Jessica up there, but I can’t see it. Then again, I can’t imagine Dex and me up there either.
This is better than golf by far
“We should get married.”
👀
when I finally get everything that I want, it’s one hundred percent fake.
Uhh is it though? Yall signed some stuff and they have your ids
Is it like a ‘what happens on va-gay-tion stays on va-gay-tion’?
“You’re both great people who will do anything for the other, but watching from the outside, you’re pucking disasters.” “Fucking disasters,” Oskar says. “They’re so bad they require actual cursing.”
maybe we need to—” He takes a breath. “—stop being so possessive of each other.” “I’m not possessive!” “Who do I belong to?” “Me, but—” He grins. “Shut up.”
Cutie
He shrugs. “Sorry, boyfriend trumps best friend.” “Well, husband trumps boyfriend! Ha!” I point my finger in his face to really drive the point home.
Oooooo now you done it
If one collective member knows then they all do
You do things that are hard for the people you love because your life is so much better with them in it.”
Dex takes out his wallet and pulls out a folded piece of paper. He … kept it on him?
Thats cutie
I know I’m straight, but Tripp doesn’t count.
Uh well touch on that later maybe
I shrug. “I managed it once, didn’t I?” “Yeah, but—” “It’s fine. It’s not like I didn’t like it.”
👹
He represents the entire queer collective except for Anton Hayes.
Who has only come out like a year ago do the man didn’t get a chance at representing him yet
he grabs my arm and pulls me to him. “I know I said I was okay with kissing you, and I am, but maybe we should get one out of the way. So we know for sure I won’t mess it up.”
🙂↕️ good idea
Us. Dex and Tripp. The Mitchell brothers. Best friends. Husbands. Fuck buddies? Then again, can you really be fuck buddies with your husband?
The age old question
“I moved across the road from the golf course for a reason. I’d planned to spend my entire off-season there.”
Thank goodness dex is getting you away from there
“All I’m saying is we’re here to play a game. We don’t need to be faced with you two fucking around every day.”
I feel sorry for the women who gave you a chance if thats what you think sex looks like
“Think you can really do this without getting hurt?” “Nope.” “Do I need to lecture you?” “Double nope.” Oskar nods. “Fair enough.
He is actually a good friend
“I’m counting on it. I’m still waiting for Lane to call me into his office and spank me for being a naughty boy.” “Lane …” “The new PR rep for San Jose. He makes me want to do bad things so he’ll yell at me.”
Ooooo your book will be fun
babe.
Ding ding ding! First pet name!
It’s why I’m no longer on speaking terms with my goal. It’s in a time-out.
Theres the weird goalie
“Okay, postie. We’ve got this, okay? Can we call a truce? Please? No answer means you agree, and that agreement is legally binding. Let’s do this.” I kiss the bar and lower my helmet so the guys can fire warm-up shots at me.
Love the goalies
“I’ve been waiting for you to ask to top me forever.”
🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♀️ I don’t know what to do with myself I’m so excited!
🫢
🤸🏻♀️🤸🏻♂️🤸🏻
“No, I don’t have it figured out. That’s why we’re here. I’m trying to give us options.” “And your immediate thought is divorce. Good to know where your head is at, then.” Dex pulls free of me and marches toward the building.
Yeah that does hurt :(
“Hey, Dex. Can you call me back? I think I know who leaked your story to the press.”
Yeah we all do
They can pry my husband away from my cold, dead, pansexual ass, because I’m not giving him up for all the haters in the world.
“They didn’t trade you. They traded Fensby.”
Thank goodness! Good riddance and get that homophobe out of the league please
