walked into the bedroom. Hunter was sitting on the bed waiting for her. "I wanted to give you some space. Believe me, it was tough."
She smiled. "Thank you. It's all yours."
He got up and kissed her lightly. "I will drive you over to Alicia's and pick up Carter when I'm done in the shower."
She nodded as he disappeared into the bathroom. She sat on the bed and felt all the chemistry that they had the night before disappear. She wondered if she should have just accepted his money.
She walked over to his dresser and started to sift through his t-shirts. She grabbed one of his heavy metal shirts and slipped it on. She dried her hair and slid on her jeans. He walked out of the bathroom just as she finished up. His towel hung from his hips in that sexy way. She walked over to him and kissed him. “I’m sorry.”
He shook his head. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t offer you money like that but I want you to be covered if you need something.”
“I really love you for it and I promise you that if I need anything, I will let you know.”
He smiled and kissed her lovingly. “Let me get dressed and I will drive you over to their place.”
She nodded as she went into the living room and grabbed her phone. She noticed that she had a text message waiting for her. She scrolled through and saw it was from Mike.
Good Morning - I hope I didn’t wake you but wondered if you wanted to grab lunch - Mike
Heading over to Alicia’s now - I will let you know - Madison
Madison put her phone back in her purse. She walked onto the balcony and looked at the city. The sun was shining, it was warmer then it was the day before. Summer had arrived. Madison sat at his small table and chairs and enjoyed the warmth.
Hunter walked towards her and smiled. “I really like that you are here with me.”
She smiled. “It’s such a change for me. But, I’m ready for it. It’s only been a couple of days but I found a friend. I’m helping prepare for a wedding and my wonderful boyfriend is heading towards the cup finals.”
Hunter laughed. “Don’t jinx me!”
“Have you received any more information on the trade rumors?”
He nodded. “My agent called this morning and said teams are starting to ask questions. I have a strong feeling that I’m not staying here.”
Madison pouted. “But you don’t know for sure. Your management could step up and give you a multiyear contract.”
He nodded. “Yes, they could but with all this interest, they could use me as a pawn to get a better draft pick.”
She stood up and wrapped her arms around him. “Well, let’s just hope for the best.”
He nodded and grabbed her hand. “Carter is waiting for us.”
He drove them over to Carter’s apartment as Alicia was finishing up breakfast. “Good morning, guys. How was your evening?” She winked.
Madison blushed. “It was great. I’m ready to enjoy this sunshine.”
Carter walked into the room. “Hey sis, I can I talk with you for second?”
She nodded and followed him into his office. He shut the door and hugged her. “I feel like we haven’t talked since you got here. How’s the apartment?”
“Thanks to your fiancée, it’s perfect. Everything is unpacked and livable.”
He smiled. “Yeah, Alicia loves that stuff. I heard you found your dress for the wedding.”
She nodded again. “It was fun. Thank you for picking up the cost of it too.”
He waved it off. “Not a problem, I know you are trying to figure everything out right now. As we talked about before you moved, the apartment is covered for the next month. If you need more time, just tell me and I will continue to pick up the cost.”
Madison frowned. “No, I’m going to look for a job as soon as I get back into town. I can’t live off of you forever.”
He smiled. “I picked up all your school information.” He handed her a folder. “It’s your class schedule from what you selected. You just need to go pick up your books but you can do that on your first day, if
