Risk

Ellinor Jonasson looked at her boyfriend since four years, who was standing in front of the mirror where he nervously made stuff like changing his hair.
"Hey, babe", Ellinor said, and kissed him to try to get him to calm down a little bit. "I know it's your first game as a senior, but you really have nothing to worry about. You rock, okay? Just go out on that ice and do what you are supposed to do"
And for the first time today, he actually smiled. "What have I done to deserve you?"
"Well, I think you should thank your parents. They gave you an amazing ass", Ellinor joked.
It made the 21 year old girl smile when he let out a beautiful laugh.
"I love you, Ellinor", he said, and kissed his girl.
"I love you too, Marcus, but we really need to get going if you want to play tonight", she said and took the keys to one of their two cars.
"Can you give me the keys?", Marcus said. "Maybe I feel better if I can drive"
Ellinor gave the keys to him. "Just don't crash the car, I don't want you or the car hurt, okay?"
Normally, it was Ellinor who drove the car. Since Ellinor was one year older than Marcus, she was the one who drove him around when she got the drive license at the age of 18. It just happened to be that it was she who drove them around the most of her and Marcus.

"Aren't you nervous?", Marcus asked when they was just around the corner to Hovet - the rink where Marcus played his hockey games.
"Not very much", Ellinor said honest. "I know how good you are, and how much you deserves this. The only thing I'm nervous for is if you get hurt"
Marcus gave Ellinor the smile that made her melt every time. "You know I can't promise anything, it's a game where you never know what is going to happen while playing"
"I know, babe, I know", she replied and Marcus parked the car just some metres away from the rink.
Ellinor held his hand hard, and wondered how she could have the luck to have Marcus as her boyfriend. When they met each other for four years ago, Ellinor had just lost her both parents in a car accident, and had just moved from her small hometown Luleå in the north of Sweden to Stockholm, to make it a little bit easier for herself try to move on with her life.
"Princess?", Marcus asked and looked worried at her. "You look pale, are you okay?"
"Can you just hug me?", she asked and felt a bit selfish.
"Did you think of your parents?"
She nodded, and Marcus gave her one of his teddy bears
hugs.
"You know they are looking down at you exactly now, and they are proud of you, right?", Marcus said and kissed her forehead. "I love you, princess. Don't you ever forget that"
"I love you more than anything else, Marcus", she said and she knew she did. He was her everything, her little sunshine. "Now we better walk into the rink. You have a game to rock"
"And don't feel selfish for asking about hugs or anything, okay?", Marcus whispered in her ear. "I just want to give you the best"
"Okay", she smiled while thinking of how good he knew her, and how good she knew him. They weren't just a couple, they were best friends too.

"Oh, isn't it the married couple?", Ellinor and Marcus heard one of Marcus' teammates yell behind them. They turned around and faced the guy with Russian and Ugandan parents - but was born in Sweden and spoke fluent Swedish - and also one of the team's goalies, Mark Owuya.
"Hello to you too, Mark in da park", Ellinor laughed. "How are you doing?"
"Always so nice, Ellinor", Mark said and Ellinor rolled her eyes. "I'm great, how are mrs Ellinor Krüger and mr Marcus Krüger doing?"
"I think we both are doing amazing, aren't we?", Marcus said and looked at Ellinor who nodded.
So I'm not looking pale or something anymore, Ellinor thought.
"Well, I should probably get something to eat before I will die", she said and gave Marcus a kiss. "Good luck, babe. Good luck to you too, Mark. Kick some ass, boys!"
