Oh Captain, My Captain (Sidney Crosby)

Chapter One Hundred Four

-Alex-

“Slow motion for me, slow motion for me, move in slow motion for me!” Sidney was singing, or at least trying to sing as he skated over towards me, Pascal and Max.

“You’re weird,” I laughed and the guys smirked and shook their head.

“I have to be the worst singer in the league,” he joked and I laughed and skated away.

“Most likely,” I said and then stuck my tongue out towards him. I skated towards the other side of the ice and then groaned, “Dammit Sid! Now you got that song stuck in my head!”

He laughed and gave me a thumb up and I shook my head and started to skate next to Geno.

It’s been a week since that night on the boat and Sidney and I have been good, we’re back to our old selves. He’s a goofball and I’m, well, I’m just awesome. Today was our game against the Capitals and I was ready for Ovechkin tonight, we’ve been doing really well, won fifteen games in a row, Penguins were no doubt making our way to the Stanley this year.

Right now we were at our morning skate and the guys were mostly messing around, for whatever reason, Sidney was in a singing mood this morning, and then chasing after the guys to move faster. I was going around the rink when I was by the net and so someone that caught my eye. I stood and seemed to stare at this guy who was staring directly at me.

“Hey, Alex,” I heard but didn’t do anything about it, I just stared at this guy, there was something about him, the strange part was, I’ve been seeing him a lot lately, and it was really getting creepy, “Alex!”

“Yeah?” I asked and turned my head to see Pascal and Chris Kunitz next to me.

“You all right?” Chris asked and I looked at the guy, he hadn’t moved.

“You recognize that guy?” I asked and they looked at the guy, we clearly weren’t subtle about this, and he could clearly see that we were talking about him.

“No, never seen him before, why?”

“I’ve been seeing him a lot lately,” I muttered and then turned back towards the two to see that they were looking at the guy still.

“Something about him is off,” Chris said and I sighed.

“Thank you, at least I’m not the old one,” I muttered and Chris nodded his head.

“Be careful,” Pascal said and I nodded my head and with one last look towards the guy I took a stride to go forward but stopped and widened my eyes when I saw my mom walk up next to him.

“What the hell,” I growled and then felt someone bump into me.

“Alex come on,” I heard Sidney say and then looked at him and pushed his face to look where I was looking, “Is that your mom?”

“Yeah,” I mutter, glaring towards her.

“What is she doing here?” Kris asked while skating next to me.

“Don’t know,” I muttered and then looked to see the guy and my mom shake hands and then she looked towards me, “She’s up to something though.”

By this time, we had gotten the attention of most of my teammates, and were definitely not secretive about watching them. My mom handed the guy something and then looked towards me and waved with a sickly smirk on her face.

“Bitch,” I growled and then skated away.

-Sidney-

“Damn girl, when did you get that done?” Eric asked as he and the guys looked at Alex’s tattoo.

We were all getting ready for the game tonight, and so we were putting our gear on. Alex and I were relaxing at my house before the game, because she needed to cool off after seeing her mother and that guy, who I found out, has been practically stalking her. Alex had taken her shirt off, wearing only shorts and a sports bra, giving the guys a good look at her new ink.

“Um, about a month and a half ago,” she answered and I smirked as the guys were poking her, making her flinch and then laugh, “Come on, stop!”

“She’s ticklish!” I heard Beau Bennett yell and then listen to Alex laugh and yell for the guys to stop.

I smirked and then heard the door open and see Coach walk in, everyone stopped and looked over towards him to see him smirking and shaking his head.

“Leave Alex alone,” he said and then watched as the guys whined and started to walk away from Alex.

We all got geared up and then skated onto the ice for our warm up and watched as the fans started to come in and take their seats. I looked over towards the other side of the ice to see that the Capitals were already out and Ovechkin was smirking towards Alex, who just shook her head and waved him off.

‘…That’s my girl…’

-Alex-

I skated around our half of the ice, already warmed up and shot some pucks at Vokoun. I watched as some of the other guys warmed up and then felt someone stand next to me as I leaned against the glass.

“What’s up?” I looked and saw Max standing there, “You’re thinking about your mom again, aren’t you?”

I sighed and then nodded my head, “I hate her.”

“That’s too bad,” he said and I nodded my head.

“You were there when she freaked out,” I muttered and he nodded his head and bumped his shoulder with me.

“You got a nice dad, so that’s good, I saw him before,” Max said and I smirked.

“Yeah, he’s here with my Aunt and Uncle are here for the weekend,” I said and saw Geno, Sidney, Kris and Eric skate over.

“Who’s in for the weekend?” Kris asked.

“Aunt Lisa,” I smirked and then laughed as I saw their reaction, “Thought you would remember her.”

“You keep that woman away from me!” Geno and James yelled and I threw my head back and laughed.

“I’m missing something here,” Max said and I nodded my head.

“I’ll tell you later,” I said and he nodded his head.

“They up in the box?” Sidney asked and I nodded my head.

“What the hell,” I heard and looked to see Max looking up.

“What?”

“Listen,” he said and I did and shook my head.

“I don’t get it, what am I listening to?”

“The music,” he stated and we all looked up, “This is an old song.”

I laughed as I heard the song and shook, “This is for Polow’s bitches, for money making bitches, all my ladies, throw your hands in the air. I got Patron in my cup and I don’t give a fuck. The baddest bitch in the club right here!” the guys laughed for me knowing the lyrics to Drop It Low.

Max and I bobbed out heads back and forth and danced a little while the guys laughed and I heard someone pounding on the glass.

“You getting the fans attention,” James said and I smirked.

“Eh they’ll get a good laugh,” I smirked and then turned my head to see that it was Hannah and Ian there, “HI!!!”

“You know them?” Max asked and I nodded my head and waved to here.

“Yeah, that’s the girl whose birthday I went to.”

“Cool,” he said and then waved to the girl too and she screamed and pointed towards Max and I laughed, “Someone’s excited.”

“Smile pretty, pretty,” I mocked and the guys laughed.

“I always smile pretty, pretty,” he said and I scoff and looked up into the stands to see all of the fans.

“No way,” I growled when my eyes were glued to the creep that was at practice.

“What?” Sidney asked and I nudged my head towards the guy, “What the hell?”

“I told you, he’s been following me,” I muttered and the guys looked at him and I sighed, “I’ll worry about that later, we have a game to win.”

The horn blew saying that it was time for us to head back to the locker room so that the people could prepare the ice for us and we can work on last minute things. As I followed the guys I heard someone calling my name and saw that it was Ovechkin.

“What do you want?”

“You like to drop it low?” he smirked, referring to the song that was just playing.

“Sweetie, no one here gunna drop it low for you, not ever,” I said and then heard the guys laugh and see the smirk on Ovechkin’s face disappear and I smirked and waved bye to him cockily as I walked off of the ice heading back towards the locker room.
