Zoe had been working all week from seven to three. Every morning when she would wake up she would always say she was going to quit the bar business, but every day she realizes making drinks is a passion. Hopefully not a long passion. The Blackhawks hadn't been at the bar since Thursday night, the first and only time they would probably come.

Patrick was the only Blackhawk who kept showing up at Whiskey Business. Watching Zoe, trying to find a way to approach her. He didn't want to seem stalkerish but he had passed a new level when he followed her home. Luckily, Zoe hadn't noticed. He promised himself he would stop following her and watching her work. He didn't know why but something about her made him want to get close. He had to stop and he would, but his last night of "stalking" her would change everything.

Zoe had been standing behind the bar watching the Hawks mingle with the puck bunnies security had let it. Whiskey Business had offered to hold a "come meet the Blackhawks" event, but boy had Jakes agreement been stupid. It was hoe after hoe after hoe. Zoe and Michaela had been laughing at every single girl approaching the team.

"How could they find that attractive?" Zoe thought to herself.

Zoe had found Patrick the second he walked in. His playoff beard wasn't the most attractive thing in the world but he still looked handsome in his hundred dollar suit. Go big or go home right?

Zoe found guys with lots of money engaging but would never be with someone for their money. She had always put things in perspective when she thought of how hurt she would be if someone used her just for money. Which brought Zoe back to why hockey players found puck bunnies enticing. Michaela was going on and on about how attractive Jonathan Toews was but Zoe couldn't shake Patrick off her mind. She barely knew the guy, but that was the thing. She wanted to know him. Zoe must've been staring at Patrick for too long because before she knew it, he was walking her way. She stopped staring and pretended to laugh at something Michaela had just said which left Michaela nothing but confused.

"Can I get another beer?" Patrick said in his deep, sexy voice he had been using to impress the ladies. Zoe grabbed his glass and got him another Miller. He had four already. Zoe didn't know why but Patrick was working up the courage to ask Zoe to a game. He knew beer wasn't strong enough, but he didn't want to look like an alcoholic drinking five vodkas or whiskeys. Patrick nodded his head towards Zoe as if to thank her, she just smiled before moving on to another customer.

Damn. He had missed his chance. What was it about Zoe that made Patrick Kane of all people flustered. He knew his whole team was looking at him. Seeing if he could muster up the guts to ask Zoe what everybody had been wanting to ask her since seeing her in the tight black dress she wore their first night at the bar. Patrick scratched the back of his head before turning back around towards the bar and looking straight at Zoe. She looked taken aback but he didn't care. He bit the bullet and asked the million dollar question.

"Would you like to go to a hawks game?"

Zoe looked surprised that he had just asked her that, but nevertheless she smiled and laughed at his awkwardness.

"I would love to," Zoe said, seeing Patrick sigh in relief. He turned around to his team and just smiled they all got up and cheered towards him. Patrick turned back around to see a confused Zoe biting her lip. God that's so sexy.

"We have been wanting you to come to a game since the first night we were here and since I was the only one you talked to, I was in charge of asking you," Patrick said hoping Zoe wouldn't mad over the teams stupidity. She just laughed before tending to another customer next to Patrick. He smiled to himself knowing Zoe had just agreed to watching the team play. Scratch that, watching him play. Zoe had gotten the other customers drink and walked back over to Patrick.

"We got you two other tickets if you want to bring friends, and their glass seats," Patrick said hoping she would know what that meant. Who was he kidding? Of course she did. She had been routing for the Bruins since before she could walk, "and if you want a jersey to wear, I could give you one of mine," Patrick said hoping she wouldn't think it meant anything. She just smiled.

"I think I my friend has one I can borrow. I just don't know whose it is," Zoe said knowing full well it was a Kane jersey. Patrick nodded his head before grabbing the envelope he had been carrying since practice the day after visiting Whiskey Business. Patrick handed it to her before smiling. Not knowing what to do Zoe walked away and stuck it in her purse, hoping he would be back mingling with the girls craving for his attention. She had been getting tired of the death stares. Luckily he was talking to a girl near the dance floor.

"What was that all about?" Michaela asked. Zoe, startled from not knowing when Michaela had snuck up behind her.

With a hand on her heart Zoe said, "He gave us tickets to the next home game." Michaela looked at Zoe with wide eyes. Zoe, not being a Blackhawks fan, didn't know what it meant for a player to give you tickets. Zoe just started back at Michaela with the same expression Michaela had been giving Zoe since she broke the news. Tired of the staring Zoe just walked away from Michaela to get a customer another drink. Michaela just laughed knowing Zoe was probably in for a surprise.

Her bubble burst though when Zoe said, "Before you freak out about the whole "when a player gives you tickets he likes you" thing, it was the whole team that wanted us to go." Michaela just gave Zoe a saddened face as if she was let down by the thought of Zoe and Patrick not starting anything. Who was she kidding? She was.

"Did he ask you to wear his jersey?" Michaela said regaining hope when Zoe blushed, "Oh my god he did!"

"Yes he asked if I wanted to wear a jersey that was his," Zoe said not knowing why it was such a big deal.

"And you said?"

"No." Zoe said knowing full well that she was in for a lecture. Michaela practically had steam coming out from her ears. She was raging.

"HOW COULD YOU NOT SAY YES?!?"

"Will you be quiet. I don't want to whole bar knowing," Zoe said while covering Michaela's mouth, "I said no because you have a Kane jersey."

"But his is the real deal," Michaela said after Zoe had moved her hand away.

"I didn't want him to think I liked him so I said you had one but I didn't know whose it was," Zoe said blushing at the thought of wearing something Patrick had worn himself.

Michaela smirked, "You've got this all figured out don't you?"

"No. Now will you go get peoples glasses before they start throwing them at you," Zoe said pushing Michaela out from behind the bar and onto the dance floor. Her poor distraction wouldn't last long but luckily she was leaving soon and Michaela wasn't. She would just have to deal with it at home.

"Are you almost ready Andrea?" Michaela yelled from the hallway hoping Andrea was almost done preparing herself to watch the Chicago Blackhawks play in person and not through a TV screen. Michaela was wearing a Toews jersey because she had given her Kane jersey to Zoe. Michaela heard Andrea unlock her door before stepping out in a full on dress. Zoe had walked out of her room wearing her Kane jersey, skinny jeans that were in brown Frye boots. Her hair was in a waterfall braid and she had he brown satchel across her chest. Michaela sighed jealous of Zoe's outfit, wishing she had thought of something that originally cute herself. She was awoken from her daydream when Zoe started laughing hysterically at Andreas outfit dress.

"You're going to watch them play, not marry them," Zoe said between breaths.

"Go change. Now," Michaela said loosing her patience. She looked back at Zoe and smiled when she turned around in her Kane jersey. Andrea stepped out again in a Sharp jersey with skinny leggings and knee high boots. The girls lived fairly close to the arena so they thought walking would be their best bet.

When they got inside the United Center they smiled. It was packed. they had arrived late, as usual. They scrambled for their section and found their seats. Behind them were puck bunnies ecstatic over being so close to the boys. Zoe, Michaela and Andrea laughed at how desperate they sounded.

Patrick was on the ice warming up before the game when Jonathan skated over to him.

"When you see her, look at her jersey, that tells you everything," Jonathan with his glove on Patricks shoulder pads. Patrick just nodded his head and started to look for Zoe's section. He found her section and looked for Zoe. He found and almost lost his balance. She took his breath away. He caught Jonathan attention and they skated over to Zoe and her friends.

Zoe saw Patrick looking around the United Center for her. When he finally spotted her Zoe didn't understand how he had. She was one of thousands wearing a Blackhawks jersey. He looked over towards Jonathan and Jonathan looked to wear Patrick had been looking. They both started skating over. Zoe could feel Andreas leg shaking against hers. Andrea had never been so nervous and she didn't know why. They were just hockey players.

Zoe could feel everyones eyes on her when Patrick skated over to her and started to motion for her to turn around. She eyed him peculiarly before moving in her seat to turn around. Patrick saw his last name on the jersey and immediately started to jump up and down. In his head of course. He had to keep his cool around Zoe. Coach called him and Jonathan over but before skating over to the entrance to the locker room, Patrick turned around towards Zoe and smiled. She knew exactly why he had smiled at her.

She smiled back.
