Josie Jensen
I wake up with a smile on my face. I open up instagram and lay in bed, going to Cooper's page. Looking at his post, the cute little #allthegoldstars hashtag he put on there. Then the picture of me in his story. His following has already grown into two thousand over night, because I made sure to post on the teams page all the guys pictures , along with their account tags. The teams page already had nearly two million followers, and some of the guys, had a hefty following.
I go to his photo and see theres already a slew of comments. Some with clear fan user names, and then just normal handles. I see some of his teamates in the comments , along with Barry's "IceDaddy" comment. I bite my lip. I'd become so flushed when Barry had made the joke. Because that's exactly what Cooper Callahan was. The fucking ice daddy. I shift my legs under the blanket. I look back at his face and bite my lip and try to ignore the ache that's still there from talking with him last night. He'd posted a picture of me on his story. Sure I was ten when it was taken. But he was being playful, and flirty with me. Wasn't he? Or maybe he was just teasing with me, being nice, making me feel welcome in my new job with the team?
Whatever the reason, I reach over to my night stand and pull out my vibrator, because I'm a pervert and I click it to life and put the buzzing rose to my clit as I spread my legs and gasp the second it hits my clit.
"Jesus." I exhale. This was going to be so fucking quick.

I walk into the meeting room upstairs in the arena where I'd been with all the players the day before. The guys are already in the gym warming themselves up before going to practice.
"Miss Jensen." Tony smiles. I smile politely as I walk in.
"I was hoping to hear from you last night." He says and I keep my smile on my face.
"I was just so busy, and knew we'd be meeting this morning." I say. Because I'm pretty sure the owner of the Penguins had been hitting on me yesterday. Okay, not just pretty sure. Definitely sure.
"Have a seat." He nods, already sitting at the head of the table, and I take a seat to the side of the table but at the end beside him and smile.
"The class went really well, and I gave them all an assignment to-"
"Ah, ah" He holds up a hand. "Why don't we just...relax for a moment." He says and I pause talking, my mouth hanging open.
"Oh, okay." I say and look out the glass windows that look outside then back to him.
"Would you like a coffee?" He asks.
"I had one on the way here. Thank you though. " I say and he hums and stands and walks over to the coffee pot and pours himself one. It's awkward silence as I wait for him to walk back over.
It's not that Tony Calvaro was unattractive. Because he wasn't. At all. Just looking at him, he was very attractive. He was tall, put together, clean, dressed "Sharp" as my dad would day. He had a great jaw, a strong nose. For an older man, he was up there in the attractiveness. But, personality wise, he was boring as sin. I'd only spent maybe a total of two hours with the guy so far. And he sure loves to talk about himself, his cars, his home, his money. I mean, good for him, he should be proud of his accomplishments. But cars and money, weren't a turn on for me. Neither was his "olympic sized swimming pool" he boasted about. Who the hell needs an olympic sized swimming pool? And the main reason his personality sucked? The gold ring on his finger while he hit on me yesterday. Telling me we should talk more, get to know each other better, and if I was interested, we should do it over dinner. um, no fucking thank you. But i'd just smiled and politely and maybe stupidly said "We'll see." Because, would he fire me if I declined him outright? He seemed like the type that might.
"You look nice today Josie." he says as he sits back down.
"Oh. Thank you?" I respond as I shift in my seat and he smiles and sets down his mug.
"You know....you look like one of my girlfriends from college." He says.
"Oh." I laugh nervously. "That's...funny."
"Gorgeous girl. Absolutely stunning she was." He says and I force a polite smile and nod.
His chair rolls to the side as he moves closer to the corner of the table and I feel myself tense.
"You look just look like her." He says shaking his head at me, as he looks all over my face. His eyes dropping down. "In every way." he says, adding on. A small smirk crossing his lips.
"She had a great figure." He says and I swallow and his knee is close to mine and I can see under the table as his hand slips to the end of his knee, and his fingers brush my knee.
"Mmm" he hums.
"I think we should talk about the plans for the team." I say and swivel my chair, taking my knees away from him.
He chuckles as if it's just a game, but he doesn't press further.
"Alright Josie, go on, Show me what you've got beautiful." He says and looks down at the papers in front of me and I ignore the fucking beautiful comment and just go on talking like none of that just fucking happened.
---------------------------
After the meeting is over and I dodge his dinner invitation again , I make my way down to the locker room just as the guys are heading out the door.
"Josieeeeeeee!" "Hey Josie!" It's Josieeeee!" "Josie!" Several of them greet me and I laugh and wave at them. I tell them all they did a great job on their "Assingments" as they pass by and they laugh and give me high fives.
Then I see Cooper at the end of the line talking with Russell. His eyes on me, a small smile on his lips when he sees me as he comes out the door.
They continue to talk , Cooper nods and then Russell looks at me and smiles.
"Welcome back Josie! Good to have ya here again today kiddo!" He says and pats my shoulder. I laugh and nod.
"Thanks"I say and then look at Cooper , his helmet under his arm and I look to Russell.
"Is it okay if I steal this one for just a minute?" I ask Russell.
"Sure kiddo. Get him to me soon though huh? He helps me keep the rest of em in line" He says pointing to the door to the arena and I smile and nod.
"Of course. I'll be quick" I say and then Russell goes through the door.
"Good morning Josie" Cooper says. His voice making my knees shake a little and making me forget all about the way Tony tried to touch my knees, and come onto me. I smile at Cooper.
"Morning Cooper" I say.
"You sure you're not going to freeze in the dress?" He asks with a scowl.
"I live in the arena , unless you forgot. The cold doesnt bother me." I say and then pull out the little sheet of paper from the side of my laptop bag.
"A promise is a promise." I say and hold up the little sheet of gold star stickers.
The smile im rewarded with along with the laugh. Is fucking worth the stop at the THREE dollar stores before coming here just to find them.
"I went to THREE different dollar stores for these Callahan. So you better wear them." I say and I pick one of the sheet.
He's looking at me as I lift it up on the tip of my finger.
"Where do you want it?" I ask. His lips are still slightly turns up and his eyes flick to my lips.
"You really go get these just for me Josie?" He asks.
I feel the playfulness fade a little and i'm struck with a bolt of heat low in my stomach as this mans voice lowers two octaves and he's staring at me with his pretty green eyes, and handsome, not grumpy at all face.
I nod. "yeah...I..promised you gold stars."
"You promise anyone else gold stars?" He asks.
I shake my head.
"Good. Don't go giving them to anyone else." He says and I inhale as he moves closer, he plucks the gold star off my finger, and I watch him turn his helmet around and place it inside. I dont know why I can barely fucking breathe right now.
"I dont want anyone else getting jealous." He says. ""Gotta keep em where they cant see em." He says and holds his finger out.
I just blink at him and he nods to his finger.
"You promised me two , Josie." he says.
"uh yeah, yeah" I laugh , fucking hypnotized by how fucking much I adore Cooper Callahan right now.
I pluck another and this time he holds out the helmet.
"Star me Josie" he says and I laugh and press it to the helmet inside next to the other one.
"Perfect." he says and then pulls the helmet on and looks at me.
"Keep those close. I plan on earning on a lot of em." he says and I nod with a little laugh and bite my lip. His eyes going to my mouth, and he reaches out, taking the sheet of stickers. He plucks one off and lifts it, placing it on my cheek. I scrunch my nose.
"You deserve one too" He says.
"What for?" I ask and he smiles.
"You just do Josie." He says and plucks another off and places it on my other cheek.
"Now we're even." he says and I know I'm blushing but I dont even care.
"Guess so." I say and he smiles slightly.
"See you after practice Josie." he says and I nod.
"yeah." I say and step back.
He walks to the door and then turns and I look at him. He smiles, reaching out handing me the stickers back.
I laugh as I grab them and nod.
He winks.
Cooper Callahan winks, before walking through the door with a big smile on his face. That I put there. Me.
----
I'm not a fool. So I grab the blanket and hoodie I brought with me, before heading out into the arena with my camera. I I wasnt a professional but I take several shots, to send to the guys if they want to use for their posts. I take a few videos as well on my phone. I focus on the guys most that don't have a ton of media presence already. To stock them up with footage and clips and photos to use for stories. But I might focus on one of them a bit more than the others.
-----------
After practice and their showers, we have another hour long class, where I sign them up for TikTok. A few of the younger guys, even do a viral dance in front of the room and the older ones grumble and shake their heads, swearing they'll never be caught dead doing that. A few of them do lip syncs to trending sounds of where they act out different things. Everyones laughing, because it may be silly and stupid , but it's fun.
The meeting runs over the hour but nobody seems to mind.
At the end I say goodbye to everyone, and Cooper walks me out to my car again where he means mugs my Honda again.
"See you this weekend?" He asks and I nod.
"Yeah." I say and he looks at me.
"I posted another story by the way." He says and I smile and then pull out my phone.
I pull open Instagram and go to his page and then his story. It's a picture of his helmet. The inside. With a caption.
"Scoring goals is cool. But have you ever scored two of these?"
I laugh and look up at him, and cant help how much I'm smiling.
"You like the gold stars huh? They're good motivators for you?" I ask.
"I love them." he says and I bite my lip and he looks at it, just like he did inside.
"I want more of em." He says and I lick my lips.
"Okay." I say and he looks from my mouth to my eyes.
"You just tell me how to get em." he says.
"Make a TikTok." I say and he grumbles which just makes me laugh.
"There's THREE gold stars in it for you if you do." I tease and he looks at me.
"Fine." He mumbles and I smile.
"See you this weekend Cooper. " I say , pulling open my car door.
"uh huh" he says and I smirk as he backs away watching me, and I drive off with a little wave.
