The Hockey Star’s Remorse

1 blinked in surprise. “A makeover? Why on earth would I need that?”
Aria nodded vigorously. “Because you're going to dazzle everyone! We'll pick out
the perfect outfit, glam you up, and make sure you steal the spotlight.”
I chuckled, shaking my head. “Aria, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I'm not
sure if a makeover is necessary.”
Aria put her hands on her hips, giving me an incredulous look. “Evie, come on!
It's not about necessity, it's about having some fun and boosting your
confidence.”
Thesitated, feeling both excited and uncertain about the idea. “I don’t know,
Aria..."
Avia playfully nudged me. “Come on, Evie! It'll be fun, I promise. And who knows,
you might even enjoy the change.”
I chuckled softly, giving in to her enthusiasm. “Alright, fine. But let's keep it
simple, okay?”
Aria clapped her hands in victory. “Deal! Now, let's raid your closet and see what
we've got to work with.”
As Aria started digging through my closet, I couldn't help but laugh at her
determination. “You really are something else, Aria.”
She looked up at me, a mischievous grin on her face. “That's why you love me!"
I decided to get up and help her, pulling out various clothing articles until the
closet was practically empty. None of it really spoke to us. My entire wardrobe
was consumed by dull browns and beiges. Looking at it now, I knew I had to step
up my game in the wardrobe department. Aria, my ever- enthusiastic fashion
guru, had taken it upon herself to transform my closet into a treasure trove of chic
possibilities. However, her efforts had left me staring at a sea of clothes that felt
entirely foreign to me.
“Aria, are you sure about this?” I asked, holding up the one blouse that seemed
to have more sequins than fabric.
Aria turned to me, her eyes lighting up at the sight. “That looks fierce! You have
set of bottoms to match?”

I sighed and glared at her. “Aria, if I end up looking like a disco ball, I'm blaming
you.”
Aria chuckled and tossed the sequin—heavy blouse aside. “No worries. How
about we hit the mall and find some more options?”
I nodded in agreement. “That sounds like a plan. And maybe we can grab Penny
to join us. She might have an eye for these things from a media standpoint.”
“Good idea!” Aria said, already starting to shove clothes back in my closet. Part
of me didn’t want them to return there, especially after seeing the blandness
behind them. Had my color scheme always been this gloomy and flat?
I settled back onto the bed and returned to sipping my tea before my phone
chimed on the side table. I flipped over the screen and nearly spat out my drink
at the sight of Timothy's name. Aria was too preoccupied with fixing my closet to
notice my brief display of shock.
“I'm going to go to the bathroom real quick,” I uttered, speed walking toward the
door across the room.
Aria answered with a hum, but I was already locking myself inside by the time
she turned around. I leaned against the counter and unlocked the phone screen
to see Timothy's text:
Timothy: Sorry this is late! Had a really great time with you today! By the way,
Penny sent these to me and I figured you'd like to see them before she releases.
them!
Beneath his text was a plethora of images, mostly consisting of Timothy and I,
along with a few of Aria and Lucas. Many of them were candid photos of us
laughing and playing with the dogs. One photo in particular had Timothy and I in
the center, crouched over a labradoodle as it attempted to pee in the water.
A smile graced my lips at the memory of Timothy rushing to place the dog in the
grass before it could lift its legs any higher. I took my index and middle finger and
zoomed in on Timothy's face, attempting to capture that beautiful smile in my
memory. The imagery of his fit physique beneath those wet clothes drifted back
into my mind and I felt a light throb between my legs.
My warm fingers slid up my leg and met the rim of my night shorts. I teased at
the material with my thumb and bit my lip as I pictured those muscular arms

wrapping around my barren torso while he drove into me with a surprising vigor.
That passionate night between us never escaped me, but in that moment, I was
feeling extra needy.
As my core began to ache, I felt my hand dive deeper, fully submerged over the
cotton of my underwear.
“Evie, did you fall in the toilet?”
snatched my hand just as quickly as it had made contact and leered over at the
door. I had almost forgotten Aria’s presence in the heat of the moment, and now I
was stuck with the painful reminder that she also wouldn't be leaving any time
soon.
I washed my hands at the sink and splashed some water on my face, hoping it
would cool my body. I was still feeling tipsy with angst as I entered the room and
threw myself back into bed.
What had my life come to?
During breakfast the next morning, I texted Penny to see if she was available.
Soon enough, she replied with an enthusiastic “Count me in!"
The three of us gathered at the mall, ready to tackle my interview attire crisis.
Penny, with her cool and collected demeanor, quickly took the reins, suggesting
hair, makeup, and clothing options that would suit the lighting and atmosphere of
the interviewer's recording studio.
Before I knew it, I found myself sitting in a nail salon, getting a manicure while
Aria and Penny discussed the strategy. I couldn't help but feel a mix of
excitement and nervousness. This makeover was way beyond my comfort zone,
and I couldn't shake the feeling that I was venturing into uncharted territory.
Next up was the hair and makeup session, and as I sat in the chair, I watched as
the stylist worked her magic. When I finally looked in the mirror, I was taken
aback by the transformation. My hair
was styled in loose waves that cascaded over my shoulders, and my makeup
was understated yet elegant.
“Wow, I don’t even recognize myself,” I admitted.
