Love Isn't Just Black and White

The sound of fingers typing away on a keyboard and the turning of pages filled the hospital room. Every now and again the typing would stop as Caroline would look up from her laptop to look at her little brother, Maverick, who was asleep in the hospital bed. Caroline looked at the clock in the bottom right hand of her laptop screen seeing that the time was 1:31 PM. She hadn’t had lunch since she gotten off work at 10:30. Caroline took her laptop off of her lap and got up from the chair her butt has called home for almost three hours.

When she stood up from the chair she stretched and then walked out of her brother’s room, and down the hallway and to the cafeteria.

“Hi Tina.”

She said when she entered the room and saw the middle age Asian woman behind the glass show case.

“Oh, hi Carrie. How’s Rick doing?”

“He’s good. He’s asleep right now but he’s good.”

Caroline said as she stood at the counter with the coffee maker on it.

“Well he better wake up soon.”

“Why’s that?”

“The Bruins are stopping by today. Come to think of it, I think they’re already here.”

“Wait! What?”

“Yeah, their-“

“Who?!”

“Um, the really tall guy… gosh Carrie, I don’t know any of them.”

“Is he super tall?”

“Yeah.”

“So Chara. Who else?”

“Yeah, and a guy who… I don’t know. They all look the same to me.”

Quickly Carrie put the lid on her coffee and hurried out of the large room.

“Sorry Tina! Add it to my tab!”

Tina called after Carrie her answer, but she was too far down the hall to hear it. When she got back to her brother’s room there was a two men camera crew and four men dressed up in Halloween costumes.

The tallest one was Chara, who was in a XXL pink bunny rabbit, one was a green Crayola crayon it was Jordan Caron, Adam McQuaid she recognize by his black curly mat of hair and he was dressed as Fred Flintstone, and the final man she saw was the shortest of the four, it was Brad Marchand dressed as Prince Charming from Cinderella.

“There she is!”

Rick said from his bed when he saw her in the doorway, making everyone turn to look at her. Caroline’s jaw dropped when the four Bruins looked at her. Her eyes most of all went to the man dressed as a Disney prince.

“Guys, this is my older sister Carrie. Carrie this is Zdeno Chara, Jordan Caron, Adam McQuaid, and –“

“Brad Marchand. Hi, I’m Carrie.”

She said with a smile and a tiny bit blush forming on her face. The four Bruins said their hellos and Carrie walked over to her brother’s bed and sat down next to him.

“Don’t worry, I already told them you have a major thing for Marchy.”

Rick said with a sly smirk on his little face. Again Carrie’s jaw dropped and she lightly shoved him and laughed.

“Has anyone ever told you that you’re a compulsive liar?”

Saying it with sisterly compassion, the players laughed at the brother and sister. Soon Zdeno and Adam started talking hockey with Rick, and Jordan had to go to the bathroom. However Brad walked over to Carrie when she stood up from Rick’s bed.

“Hey.”

“Hi.”

Carrie said when her words left her lips she tried to contain herself from jumping on him.

“So did Rick really say that?”

“Well not in that way.”

“How?”

“’Oh shit, you’re Brad Marchand. You should wait here till my sister gets back. She totally has the hots for you.’”

He said in a voice trying to inmate her little brother’s. Now Carrie’s face was beet red with embarrassment and anger. Brad chuckled when he say her face.

“So, it’s true then, eh?”

“Well um, maybe.”

Again Brad chuckled. He put his hand along the stubble on his jaw line and blew her a kiss. Carrie’s face somehow grew even darker red and she looked down at her feet.

“Maybe?”

Brad asked with a little laugh. Now Rick was the one laughing at Carrie.

“Come on Jazz, give him your number.”

“Shut up Ricky.”

She told him then turned back to Brad.

“Sorry about him. He has what you call diarrhea of the mouth.”

“I think I’m with him on this. Why don’t you give me your number?”

Holy shit! Brad Marchand wants my number!

Carrie bit her lip and looked over at the star Bruins player.

“What if I want to play hard to get?”

She said with a devilish smirk, as she moved all over blonde hair over her right shoulder then played with one little strand of hair. With her actions and her words it made all of Brad’s blood run south. He tried to picture his grandma in a swimsuit, anything along those lines so he won’t pop a boner in this Prince Charming costume.

“Come on. I was planning to go out tonight. What do you say and you join in on the fun?”

“Jeez, I’d love to Brad but I have all this schoolwork.”

“Carrie do it! You haven’t gotten any since like… forever!”

“Rick!”

This earned laughs from everyone in the room. Carrie just crossed her arms over her chest and glared at her little brother. Then the camera man spoke up.

“Come on boys. There are other kids to see.”

The four players signed a handful of Bruins swag for Rick, the boys signed Carrie’s Tuukka Rask jersey that she had in bag, and took pictures with both Rick and Carrie. As they left the boys shook Carrie’s and and said their goodbyes. Zdeno shook Carrie’s hand.

“It was nice to meet you Carrie.”

“You too Zdeno. I knew you were tall but this is too tall for me.”

The Slovakian laughed and walked into the hallway. Then Brad took her hand and instead of shaking it he kissed the top of her hand.

“It was a pleasure to meet you Brad.”

Carrie said when his lips touched her skin.

“The pleasure was all mine.”

“I only wish.”

Carrie said with a wink. Brad smirked at her words.

“If you’d give me your number we’ll see if I can arrange that.”

Again Carrie bit her lip. She reached over to the wall where a clipboard was hanging and a pen was on the metal clip. Carrie took the pen, took Brad’s arm, and moved up the sleeve and wrote:

Carrie 857.305.7653 ;)

“Call me we’ll see if your stamina is really all that.”

She said with a wink as she clicked the pen. Again Brad’s blood ran south because of this girl and the only thoughts going through his mind this time was making this girl scream his name.

“Come on Marchy.”

Adam said from the hallway. Carrie caught his eye one more time and winked.

“See ya around Marchand.”

Then she turned around and walked back to her schoolwork, and Brad watched her ass every step of the way.
