Shenanigans

☆ Iñaki can definitely be troublesome if he's bored. I'm talking face/body paint cosplays, hiding your things, pranking you with his perfect acting skills type of trouble

• its truly hilarious and a bit concerning to catch him with his whole face green and a dinosaur stuffed hat clipped around his head

☆ "ki.." he has his back to you and stares at the walls like there much more important

• will scream over games in his phone, for instance if iñaki runs out of time and fails a challenge you can here him crying out from the bathroom

☆ he suggests the craziest things on tiktok and you are a sucker for a good time despite you both hating to clean up behind yourselves. You have an eighteen minute long video of you both slipping on the soapy kitchen floor btw ;p

• iñaki often walks around your apartment a bit weirdly so he's bound to stub a toe or bump his shoulder into the edge of the wall, always cursing in Spanish which makes you burst into laughter

☆ you both truly are unfiltered around eachother and hes feels so lucky that he got two for one, (you're not only his best friend but your his girlfriend too.) Iñaki thinks that's epic

• skating time is sublime.

• "you– geezer, just hold onto me?" You laughed as Iñaki rolled around the skating ring like an elder on life support, he obliged but that cost you with the way he gripped your hands.

☆ "Damn, kiki!"

• "Slow down!!" He wobbled.

☆ "We not going no damn where!"

• on the court he will demolish you. Iñaki's always in your face, running around you as he dribbles the ball and shoots, it hits the rim sometimes

☆ "you're ass.." you kick some pebbles as he jogs for his rebound and runs back to you with a grin. Sweat beading at his forehead and wetting the roots of his curls.

• "oh? well then you make the hoop" you both are nearly the same height but he's still slightly taller. (He looks scrumptious in loose tanktops fyi) The basketball is pushed to you as you roll your eyes and take it. Iñaki situates beside you and watches you move forward but hands on your hips pull you back.

☆ "Do it from here." You got ready to argue but just huffed and dribbled the ball once to make sure it was hard enough and not flat. Your dominant arm bended and launched the ball for the edge of the square. It rolled around the rim but fell off and Iñaki suppressed a laugh.

• he talks so fast in English and Spanish that you often tell him to slow down. He laughs at that because he's still getting used to someone truly listening instead of talking over him

☆ iñaki flexes his facial hair and that often gains your attention so he ends up getting his mustache and sideburns cleaned up while you're on his lap

• "please amor, don't cut it too much."

☆ "shh shh, look?" You raised the mirror and when he saw the results iñaki felt ten times more flashier and he thanked you with a big kiss of course

• bro looses his marbles when he can't find his glasses and you love to watch him suffer as he looks everywhere while their RIGHT ONTOP OF HIS HEAD.

The sweet things

☆ he needs to have you by his side but doesn't like to really admit it so when you're doing something or simply lounging around he'll come to you like puppy and lean on you, or play with/link your hands

• iñaki bites and asks before hand too lol

☆ teaches you his first language and loves how you have your way of pronouncing certain words, he also praises you and says you sound like a natural after correctly saying a sentence

• love love lovesss your cheek kisses since your lips are already plump and soft. Fall is here and it tends to get chilly so iñaki jokingly asks you to prescribe him with some so he doesn't freeze to death

☆ let's you play in his hair especially when it grows out, you put it in ponytails, side cornrows and twists until he's snoring against you

• iñaki doesn't have a foot fetish but will massages your feet when their sore. He's the best at it, courtesy of the practice with his mother

☆ since you love vinyls and CD's he brings you shopping with him at special stores that sell hand me downs, movie cds or song records

• you both enjoy a good thrifting spree!

☆ picnic dates are sweet but getting something to eat downtown and exploring the lower city makes you feel like jasmine and iñaki is obviously your aladdin <3

• "should we jay walk?" You look at the currently empty street as iñaki's hand is gripped in yours, his eyes keep flickering down both ends of the street before he suddenly tugs you across with him

☆ "Vamanos, vamanos!" You snort and run across as you both eventually make it to the car.

• he often asks you why you fell in love with him and you're always ready to provide an answer.

☆ "You have this weird charm that I'm drawn to.. plus you were kinda mysterious with the way you used to sta-"

• "okay okay I get it!"

☆ "Nah you used to stare into my soul remember?"

• Iñaki felt incredibly shy around you, he still does now that you're both together he just knows how to hide it now ;)

☆ matching charm bracelets and rings. 😭

• he's the pure embodiment of "just happy to be there!"

☆ will always polish the hand you can't do

THE END ♡

On The Rocks- 12

Part 11       Masterlist

  During the Leafs road trip, Toad took the time to train me so I could get the idea what expected from me because I already know the massage part. Right now I only work when the guys have a practice and morning skates but only for the next two weeks then I'll be working well they are playing. Apparently, I am supposed to be taking Toads position by the start of next season because something about retiring and moving away. Not gonna lie I am kind of scared but excited.

"You know you don't have to read all that," Toad said poking his head into the office where I am currently going over player health reports on the computer, reading up on previous injuries, treatments, and surgeries.

"I rather know about an injury before I accidentally aggravate it, plus I'll be able to spot when they're injury is bothering them but hiding it," I said briefly looking up from the Mac desktop to see a smiling Toad nodding his head before retreating.

"I'll see you tomorrow at practice," Were the words I could make out as he was walking away.

It's hours later when I finally put myself away from the computer screen, finally finished reading the reports. My muscle all tight and cramped now from sitting at the desk for a couple hours longer than I was expecting too. Raising my arms and leaning back I take in the time to see that is almost 11 pm.

"how the fuck did I manage 5 hours in this chair?" I said to the walls because I am alone, shaking my head and then the rest of my body to get out the kinks, I gather my things and get ready to leave but make sure that the massage tables are set up for tomorrow.

Walking into the physio room the quick tables are set and ready because they don't require sheets or anything but the couple tables we have for the longer more in-depth massage aren't made up. Going to where Toad showed me where the sheets are, its empty but the hamper for dirty sheets is full. Resisting the urge to roll my eyes, I pick up the hampers and start towards the laundry room down the hall, to be greeted with the more unwashed sheets.

"The intern was sick," I groan remembering when Toad gave me the rundown of who does what, and the intern does the sheets and table, said intern had the flu this morning. pulling out my phone it's only 11:10 pm.

After loading the washing machine I return to physio room and start re-cleaning the quick tables well the sheets are getting washed.

"another hour won't hurt," I whispered to convince myself that I should stay and finish the sheets.

I smell like chemicals and laundry detergent, it's a clean mixed, to say the least. My hair is in a bad messy bun on the top my head, I've pulled my brothers too large blue jays hoodie and I'm no longer wearing the trainers I had on this morning, I sit in front of the dryer waiting for the last load to finish, its now 1:30 am and I keep falling In and out of sleep.

"I've had to piss since we left New York!" A deep voice yells down the hall with loud footsteps running towards where I was in the laundry room, startling me from my sleepy state to being alert.

"Hurry Mo!," A deeper voice follows the steps as the dry goes off.

gathering the sheets into the hamper, I make my way to the physio room, again. Setting the hamper down and getting work on folding, not as good as the first load that's for sure. I was pulling the last corner over the last table when Morgan and company walked in.

"Oh shit! Hey, Amelia" Morgan greets. "I was just about to turn off the light," He nodded towards where his hand is touching the switch, a goofy but tired smile on his lips. The only thing my tired ass could manage was a blink and a slow nod.

"Why the hell are you still here?" the other voice from before speaks up from behind Morgan, this time I have a face to the voice, It's James.

"Well, shit just didn't get done," I Shrugged finishing of the bed. "I was just about to get uber and head home," Now looking at the two exhausted hockey players still in their game-day suits.

"What are you guys doing here?" I asked them as I passed them to head to the office, to gather my shit and go finally, they follow me like puppies.

"Well, I left my car here and Mo had to pee," James said holding the door open for me to the office, I nod my thanks as I grab my things and put my shoes and back out the door, they're still following me towards the exit and still don't leave. "I'll see you guys tomorrow," I tried to wave them off but they still stayed.

"So, how are you getting home?" Morgan started with a pointed look that James mirrors.

"I was just gonna get uber," I took out my phone to do just that when James grabs it.

"OR we can give you a ride?" James tone very 'duh'. My brow furrow, "But I'm probably out of your way its okay?" I went grab my phone but James raised it above our heads, his 6'3" vs. my 5"10' meant it was just out of reach for me.

"I live in the build across from you plus our buildings share the underground parking," James shrugged. "I think Mitch or Auston Mention that," I said dumbly. James still stood with my phone above our heads.

"So are you gonna stand there all night?" I teased the tall man. He fakes glare before returning my phone and leading the way to his car. A sleek black SUV. I fall asleep soon as my seat belt is done up.

"Sleeping beauty," a voice coos as my eyes open, we're in the underground now and Morgan's tired face is directly in front of me, making me jerk back. My reaction sparks a deep laugh from James.

"You scared with you ugly mug!" James laughs slapping Morgan's shoulder who's not that pleased but smiles before moving so I can exit the car, stretching my arms and legs as I get out.

"Well, I'll see you guys tomorrow," James said locking his car fist bumping morgan and side hugging me before head towards his building elevator, as Morgan and I head to ours.

"Amelia do you need a ride tomorrow?" Morgan asked once we were in the elevator using his fob to activate the elevator and press his floor then I do the same.

"Yeah, I do actually," the elevator shoot up fast before getting as lower speed, always makes my stomach lurch.

"Great I'll be at yours at 8 am and I'll drive you," He nods.

"But practice isn't until 11?" My brain is too slow or something.

"Yeah but this way I get a message first," His face looks devious.

"You guys did dips and you lost didn't you?" I laughed when Morgan's shoulders slump with a nod.

"Well sounds like a plan" I smile lazily as the elevator stopped and Morgan got off.

"Finally home," I happily sighed getting thru my door dropping my shit as I make my way to the kitchen to grab a water bottle and chugging it back.

"Hey, roomie!"

I choke on my water at the sound of Steph's sleepy voice.

"What the actual fuck?" still coughing. I remember I gave her a key yesterday so she could start moving her things in.

"I was waiting for you but I guess I fell asleep," The petit blonde shrugs like she didn't just scare me, my heart still racing.

"I got the basics over but I need Mitch for the rest, what the fuck its 2 am? why are you just getting home?" Her eyes going large.

"Shit wasn't done," I simply shrugged before continuing to drink my water and look for some food.

"Well goodnight," Steph said before going up the stairs when I remember Morgans coming tomorrow/ today.

"Oh yeah Morgan is coming over for," I said which made Steph turn and smirk at me.

"That's okay because Mitch and Auston are here already," she teased I just shrug continuing my food hunt.

"When the fuck did I have Chinese?" I said allowed not expecting an answer.

"Steph order it earlier"

"WHY DO PEOPLE LIKE SCARING ME IN MY OWN HOME!"  I jerked up from my crouched position in front the open fridge just missing my head. I turn to face the voice and I couldn't help but soften at the sight of a messy hair, Auston.

"Sorry," he raised his hands in surrender.

"Sorry just really tired and hungry, want some....rice or noodle? I don't even know what she got," I said plopping the food container on the counter.

"I just came down for water I'm good," he shook his hand dismissing the offer. I toss him a bottle from the fridge which he nearly misses making a tired laugh bubble from me.

"Pro athlete 'eh?" I chirped with a smirk and tired eyes. He raised his brow at my 'eh.

"I'm tired and real Canadian 'EH" he chirped, making my cheeks heat up.

" I'm tired too," I defended well digging into the cold food, not enough energy to heat it up. Auston just stands there with the water unopened staring at me.

"What?" My mouth full of rice.

"Are you really eating that cold?" His nose wrinkles in disgust.

"It's 2 am, I'm too lazy to heat it up, plus I'm good now," I said with the last spoonful of rice before closing it and putting it back in the fridge, tossing the spoon in the sink. Auston shakes his head before head back to bed after saying goodnight, leaving me back on my quest to go get sleep.

Passing the closed door of the room that Auston is in bring back the same warm feeling in my tummy when I woke up beside him. Resisting the urge to crawl into bed with him, I continue to my own room.

I'm out as soon as I hit my bed.

Goodnight.
