My Hockey Alpha

Enzo

I watched Nina walk away with a frown on my face.

Just a couple of days ago, it seemed like everything was going to be fine. She seemed to really want me at the party, and we even started to have sex — but I’ve hardly been able to get her to talk to me for more than thirty seconds since then.

A few moments after Nina walked away, I saw Luke trailing behind her from a distance. He saw me sitting on my motorcycle and came over.

“What’s going on with her?” I asked, nodding my head toward Nina as she disappeared down the street.

Luke shrugged. “I dunno. She met up with someone at the coffee shop just now .

“Who was it?” I asked.

Luke shrugged again. “I didn’t get a good look since she made me wait across the street, but when she told me she was meeting someone she did refer to them as ‘he’. Said she met him on the internet.”

I felt a pang in my chest as I realized what Luke was saying.

Was Nina going on dates with guys she met on a dating app? She had seemed flushed and nervous when I ran into her in the quad yesterday — had she just been on a date? Even though we weren’t technically together, it still hurt me immensely to think about her being with someone else.

Maybe it was revenge for kissing Lisa, in which case I would have to talk to her tonight and set things straight. I wasn’t going to go around any longer and let Nina think that I would ever choose Lisa over her. Eventually I’d have to finally put my foot down with Lisa as well, because she also seemed to be under the impression that we were going to get back together after I saved her.

But first, I would put on my best show at the hockey game to show Nina that I was superior to whatever strange men she was meeting on the internet. After the game, she would be mine.

Later that night, as I was getting ready with the team in the locker room, I was hyping myself up internally to play harder than ever. Nina was here on shift with Tiffany in case there were any injuries, so I knew she’d be watching closely from the sidelines.
