Shooting to score

fun

Spotting the girl from the car park in the cafe I couldn't help but think if she a secret hockey fan with being next to the arena, I haven't seen her at any games or parties until my game the other day. Walking up to her I took a sit opposite her with a smile and I can tell already thats she's a fire cracker thats for sure, I don't think she knows who I am which I'm happy about as I can just act like a normal person with her which i have always hoped for but i will never be a normal person. As we spoke our food came and i started to watch the girl as she started typing on the keyboard, I wouldn't of took her for a college student, she younger then I thought or maybe she's in her last year. Standing up I walk to the till to pay for mine and the girl lunch, but as I write down my name and number on the napkin for her to pass I can't help but look over at her again, she looks lost in her work, a natural beauty for sure

"She's a wonderful girl, nothing like your ex" Betty says and my smile has disappeared, I have come to her cafe since it opened and she's the only women who knows who I am and who my ex is, she definitely listens which I like about her and that she doesn't judge, as everyone else judged me for something but since coming here I can be myself and not be judge for anything 

"I figured when she didn't jump me for a autograph or photo. I don't think she knows who I am" I say with a smile, I don't think I ever met anyone who doesn't know who I am but I'm glad she doesn't or she actually doesn't care, i like that about her that she doesn't want to know me but i guess i want to know her, she's different from everyone I have been with

"I didn't tell you this but she's busy with college and coaching peewee hockey so she doesn't have time knowing everyone who plays NHL" and she told me she wasn't a fan, probably not a fan on us pros I guess. Passing the napkin I pay and leave with a smile on my face, I wouldn't of taken her for a coach or a hockey fan at all but its nice to know she's at least into the sports. 

Heading back to my car I see the same girl walk pass me and enter the stadium, I don't know what bought this up but somehow I'm following in but as I watch her enter the changing rooms I secretly head to the stands hiding behind a wall, I'm not sure what I'm doing here but from looking at the ice I can always tell whats she doing, theres a coaching staff sorting everything out for training and thoughts start to roll round my head. Waiting a couple of minutes I see her enter the ice skating around like she belongs, a part of me hoped she into hockey but looking at her now I'm shocked at least as I see her train, her stick handling reminds me of one of the triplets Adam I think or was it Aj. Standing around I watched as Olivia gets a body check into the back boards and I want nothing more then to go down there and check she's ok but as I'm looking I notice she hasn't move, the body check was dirty so no wonder she got the wind knocked out of her, the girl was a big gal who did it. Once she's on her feet I start leaving hoping to get out the stadium before anyone sees me, making it back to my car I head back to my apartment I have here wanting the information to settle before I start training tomorrow for our next game away. 

Pulling up to training I cant help but have a little smile on my face, I have thought about everything mainly about the only girl who doesn't care who I am and realising she's a hockey players make it a whole lot sweeter but theres only one problem, how do I get her to date me or not see me as a player with a massive ego. Walking instead the changing rooms I place my bag under my seat before getting changed, I'm trying to hide my smile but its near impossible when Dylan next to me sees me smiling like a child with candy.

"did someone get laid last night or are you normally this happy" I hear Dylan say smacking my arm before carrying on getting changed but they wouldn't understand while I'm happy, most of the players are players off the ice and the others are married living the family life that I want, I admit I have had my fair shares of pump and dump of which I'm not proud of but I want to settle and come home to a girl in my arms. Turning around everyone eyes are on me wanting to explain why I'm happy with a couple of players asking if I got laid but I shake my head as its not defiantly not that. I'm sure they want me to diss the dirty details but I don't have any this time

"I bumped into the girl who was giving the ref a***e at our last game, she didn't know who I was and I just found out she's also a hockey player with a hot stab shot, it was impressive" I say grabbing my hockey stick ready for training, the boys don't say anything instead look at me, we have met a couple of women hockey players and the ones we have seen haven't been the attractive one but Olivia was off the scale, especially her green eyes, I could get lost in them. Daydreaming about her eyes I get smacked behind the head by the father of the team Joshua, he actually took me under his wing when I first signed for the skulls, he actually is one of the married men on the team with wise advice which I have always took. Shaking the thought out I head on the ice feeling the cold air hit my face, smiling to myself I know I'm going to have a good session. Blocking shots has come easy to me, well as easy as it comes to throw yourself in front of a player swinging his stick, I admit it hurts sometimes but whats a little pain. 

Finishing the session I head towards the showers needing to cool off after tonight, it wasn't an easy session but I rather enjoyed training with this bunch. Letting the water run down my body I still cant help but think about Olivia, she has my mind running over time thinking about her, I wonder what position she plays but watching her in training I cant help thinking she's an offensive player. Returning from the showers I throw on a pair of shorts and t-shirt before packing my bag ready to go, we be on the coach travelling for our away game this time tomorrow, I'm just glad we don't face the reapers for another couple of weeks, I been on a roll and I know facing them will be a change especially if all three of the triplets are in good form.
