She Is Love
Alex Is Back
Steph's POV
I stared straight at Dan, thinking up a excuse I could use to cover up. before he found out, or remembered who I was. "Um, maybe at a Pens game, you know? Maybe you saw me around...Um, I gotta go head home, I need to run some errands. Nice meeting you all. Bye Sid!" I hurriedly skated over to the bench and pushed into the locker room, pulling off my sweaty practice gear, changing into my t-shirt and shorts, and grabbed my bag and headed out towards my car.
I walked into the house and set my keys down on the table by the door, just noticing the black suitcase near the stairs. What the hell, who was here? I thought to myself as I muttered a swear under my breath. I walked into the kitchen, frustrated, and stopped dead in my tracks as I saw who was there. My brother. Alexander Ovechkin. Alex and my parents looked up at me as I stared blankly at my brother. He got up and walked towards me, a grin appearing on his face.
"Stephie, how have you been?" He said as he embraced me in a hug. I wrapped my arms around him weakly, as I managed to reply softly that I had been good. He stepped back and looked at me.
"It seems like it's been forever since I've last seen you. But it feels good to be back home, for the next couple of days." He turned and headed back to where he was sitting in the kitchen.
"Wait, what? Why are you home, what about the season..?" My voice trailed off as I looked between my brother and my dad, clearly confused as to what was going on.
"Stephie, the Caps have a game against Pittsburgh Friday night. Oh, but of course, you wouldn't have known that, since you don't care about hockey, right?." He smirked at me, and picked up his phone and headed towards the stairs, pushing past me, roughly.Well, then. I thought to myself. I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge, getting out some orange juice.There was no way I was going to go to that game. Caps, vs. Pens? Sidney and Alex? Heck no. I thought to myself as I sat down at the kitchen table.
"Stephanie, you will have to go to that game. There is a party after the game and the players families have to attend." My mom said to me sternly, as if she had read my thoughts. She walked up to me and took the magazine I was about to read out of my hands. This meant she was getting "serious".
I groaned in protest. "Mom, no! I don't want to go. And you can't make me." I slammed my glass down on the table and furiously walked out of the room, but before I could take another step...
"Stephanie Viktoria Ovechkin!" Yep, my dad decided to use the name tactic.
And here I was, two days later, Friday night, at the game.
Sidney's POV
I sat in the locker room, getting the last of my gear on before the game tonight vs Washington, when coach walked into the locker room. I sat up, attentively to hear his pre-game talk.
"Alright, boys. This is the third game of the season, and yes, it is just the start, but don't think these guys are easy opponents. They've got good strategy, and we've got counter strategies. Right?" We all nodded in response. Soon coach was done talking and told us to get out and onto the ice. I waited by the locker room door, and as usual, fist pumped all the players, waiting for Geno and Neal at the end of the line. Geno looked at me, and smiled. "So..What with you and Stephanie?"
I felt the heat rising to my cheeks, just at the mention of her name. "Um, well, we're good." I honestly didn't know what else to say. But this was Geno, and Neal, my best friends. I could tell them anything. "Well, it's just that I feel a certain way about her, but I don't know if she does too." Neal playfully punched my arm.
"Dude, you like her, she probably likes you back, but you need to talk to her, man." Neal looked at me, a goofy smile on his face. "I have lots of experience with relationships and girls. Right, Geno?"
"Yeah. Neal get ladies at parties, and everywhere." Geno replied. I laughed, and skated out onto the ice smoothly, as the announcer called out my name. This was going to be a long game.
Steph's POV
The game went by pretty fast. Pittsburgh won in a double overtime, with , of course, Sidney scoring the overtime winning goal. I got into the passenger side of Alex's car, and buckled my seat belt, as Alex put his gear bag in the back seat, and got into the front. I pulled out my phone, checking the message from Sidney. It was a good game tonight, but you didn't come to congratulate me. Anyways, c u soon? :) I smiled at his text message, and slipped the phone back into my clutch.
Alex pulled into the parking of the banquet, and pulled the key out of the ignition, stepping out. I stepped out from the SUV and looked down at my outfit. I had picked out my emerald green party dress, and paired it with black pumps and fancy earrings.
"Really? You look fine, Stephie." Alex said as he looked at me.
"I know I look good, I just can't believe how good I look tonight." I smirked at him, and we both walked towards the entrance. And when we walked through the front doors, I stopped suddenly, as I saw Sidney standing in front of me.
