It was 7 am when Charlotte was shaking me awake so we could get ready for a short practice we had that morning. I groaned and tried to sleep more, then I felt ice cold water fall on me and I shot up pissed. "What the hell Char!?" I half yelled. She smiled, "Knew that'd get you up." I got out of my wet bed reluctantly. Once I got dressed I felt it again. I ran to the bathroom and puked. As I got up I noticed Charlotte watching me. "What? Probably just food poisoning." I said washing my face. "Let's hope it's that." she said still watching me with her arms folded across her chest. I just ignored he comment and picked up my gear bag and we headed to the rink.
While in our scrimmage I got the puck and was skating hard to the other side with it when I heard Charlotte say, "OC! OC!" I passed it to her and skated as fast as I could. "Yeah yeah yeah!" I said and the puck landed on my tape and I made a fake to one side and poked it in. "WHOOOO!" I screamed and hugged Char. "Nice job girls!" I heard coach say but all of the sudden I didn't feel good. I grabbed my stomach and feel to my knees. The whole team rushed over to see if I was okay. "I'm fine... I'm fine." I said as I slowly got up with the taste of vomit in my mouth. I made my way to the bench to sit down. Our back up goalie opened the door for me and I sat down with a thump. "You alright Johnson?" coach asked me putting his hand on my shoulder. "Yeah just stomach is really upset right now." I said. He just nodded his head and watched the others playing.
After practice I got out of my gear. "Hey! Johnson hold up?" I heard coach from behind me. I spun around. "You feeling any better?" he said looking at me carefully. "Yeah a bit. Might've been something I ate." I said scratching my head. Coach just nodded and let me go.
When I got back into the hotel I saw Jon with one hand behind his back smiling at me. I got to him and he said, "Hey pretty lady." I kissed him and tried to look behind his back but he moved so I couldn't. "What's behind your back?" I said smiling. "Just something for the prettiest women ever." he said as he handed me a box. I looked at it and opened it and saw a beautiful diamond ring. "Oh my god.." I said in shock. "I wanted you to have something other than my Stanley Cup ring." he said as he slid it onto my finger. "God I love you babe." I said kissing him. I felt a smile come across his face as he kissed me. God I loved Jon sometimes I wish I could just start a family with him even though we weren't married yet.
