My little brother couldn't contain his happiness seeing his six footer, two hundred pounds idol in person. He's in great awe. He couldn't even talk when he sees Austin hopping inside the backseat of the car saying hi to each of us. He was just there staring at him, and I couldn't help but laugh. Caleb just managed to talk when we finally arrive at the destination Austin has arranged for us three, but only a simple 'hi'.

Austin specifically looked for a place where he can freely roam around and skate without anyone taking any photos, for us to be safe.

I actually forgot about that, he is very popular around Toronto. And if we're spotted together or anything someone might post it in social media and get busted or whatever.

While I help my brother with his equipment, he hugged me all of a sudden.

"I can't believe this. Thank you big sister." Caleb says making me smile, almost making my eyes water. He released the hug looking over at the rink where Austin is already at, skating around while preparing the nets talking to the rink's caretaker. "Is this actually real?"

"You want me to pinch you?" I jokingly said.

My brother giggles and shake his head.

"His real baby brother!" I said kissing him on the cheeks, just in time Austin skates on our way calling Caleb.

"Hey little man! Ready?"

Caleb nodded walking on the way to the ice, I followed him to go near them and sit on the barricade, I suppose this is where the players put their drinks, not an appropriate place to seat but I kind of like it.

"Kick his ass Caleb!" I shouted.

"You better come up here!" Austin says.

"I don't have any skates on." I shouted. "It's okay, I'm just gonna watch you two."

My brother started skating chasing the puck to score against Austin who's currently at the net guarding it. I don't know if he did it on purpose or not but he let my brother score. They've been at it for half an hour, not getting tired of playing together.

"Oh! Five-hole!" Austin shouted clapping, while my brother did some winning gestures or something. I cheered him out like it's as if I'm on a legit WHL live game.

Austin chuckles skating towards my way. "That was a unique celly, man! How do you do it?"

I gave him his energy drink, he accepts it without looking at me. He's just four inches away from me, I can literally feel his breath on my neck. I know it was just nothing for him since he's way too focused on looking at my brother doing his goal celebratory pose, or should I say celly.

"I'd better do that on one of my games soon!" Austin says and looked at me.

"Only if you score!"

"Girl, you're underestimating me."

I chuckled. "I absolutely did not!"

"You should watch one of my games soon." He says and chuckles. "Or maybe we'll watch some Smashers game replays, you awe me a date after all!"

"That's a pretty boring thing to do on a date." I commented.

"Oh so you're saying you finally agree to a date?" Austin asks smirking. The playfulness this guy has makes me very vulnerable as always!

I rolled my eyes. "You don't want cash! And besides," I answered looking at Caleb who's skating alone practicing his puck handling skills. "You made my brother really happy."

I heard him chuckle a bit, as he sat next to me causing our thighs to brush on each other. "You really love him, huh?"

"I'm trying to make it up to him, I was a bad sister to him. Before, I see him as a product of my mom's selfishness but then I realized he did not know anything. He loves me so much, and I felt guilty for neglecting that." I said and sighed. "That's why I want to patch things up with him and make everything right."

He placed his massive hands on my thighs causing my body to heat up, I was distracted. He taps it, and as I look up to meet his eyes I felt my heart skips.

"You're a great sister G!"

I tried my best to manage a smile, there's a part of me that wants to give him a quick kiss to thank him. But I have to remind myself that I am engaged!

"Thanks." I said.

"No shit. He's a nice kid too!" Austin said and then left to go play with Caleb again.

I sometimes tend to forget that I am here in Toronto not just for our company but to also deal with my divorce papers secretly. Austin is growing on me not just some plain friend, but something more than that!

It scares me.

This is not what I was planning at all. But I don't know what's going inside my head. I'm aware that what I am doing is a great betrayal to Sean, but ending it, and not seeing Austin makes my heart go heavy.

It's bad, but I can't make it stop! I don't want to... I'm starting to fall for him, which is so not good.
