U.S.A.

“Come on Anna. You have to come with me and the rest of the team to hang out with the guys.”

This had been going on since the mens ice hockey team, both Canada and USA, had invited both women's team to hang out with them at the rink.

“If I go with you guys will you shut the hell up?”

“Yes.”

“Fine. I’ll go.”

My roommate Amy squealed with happiness and hugged me tightly.

“No touchy. No touch.”

“Oh stop going all Kusko on me.”

I laughed and got myself ready by slipping on a pair of nice jeans and a simple black tee shirt that said “I can’t. I have hockey.” I looked in the mirror to make sure I looked somewhat decent, I mean come on you never know who you’re going to meet at these kinda things. I never usually go to these sort of things but I was sick and tired of everyone begging me and hey this means I can hang out with my friend Elsa who happened to be the captain of Team Canada.

As I made my way down to the rink with my roommate Amy I couldn’t really think straight. “Im going to be meeting players from the NHL.” I thought to myself. Hopefully none of them know that I got two gold medals in the summer Olympics in 2012, I really hated talking about the Summer Olympics. As we got to the rink the first thing I saw was my friend Elsa with her boyfriend Sidney Crosby. I made my way over to them and saw Patrick Kane showing off which made me roll my eyes.

“Hey Elsa!”

“Oh my god! You’re actually socializing this time Anna!”

“Yeah yeah I know. I just got tired of being begged to come.”

“So I heard I’m not the only one thats wearing the “C” on their jersey this year.”

“Yup coach made me captain this time.”

We talked like this for awhile and I couldn’t help but notice Patrick Kane showing off to some of my teammates.

“Hey I’ll be right back.”

I walked over to where Patrick was showing off and crossed my arms as I watched him do a few trick shots at the goal.

“Is that all you got?”

When I said this Patrick turned to me with half shock half amusement.

“You think you can do better?”

“Oh I know I can do better than you pretty boy.”

I picked up a stick that was by me and warmed my hands up with some nice stick handling then did a few trick shots that had even Patrick speechless. After I was done Patrick tried to do some more but was having troubles getting the puck in the net.

“Having trouble there pretty boy?”

Patrick glared at me and the next thing I knew we had a face to face stick handling competition and everyone was around us watching as we battled it out. The next thing I knew Patrick was on the ice on his back due to tripping over a puck and I was on top of him since i tripped over his stick.

“Hi there.”

When Patrick said this in a Flynn Ryder voice I couldn’t help but blush. I slowly got off of him and back onto my feet.

“Gosh you couldn’t you buy me a drink before getting on me like that?”

“That’s not going to happen Patrick.”

“Come on what’s it take to get a good looking girl like you to have a drink with me?”

I took my stick and placed the blade inches away from his neck while glaring at him.

“I will use this.”

Patrick put his hands up in defense and I laughed which made Patrick grin. When I put the stick down he came over next to me and wrapped his arm around my waist.

“So I’ll see you tonight then.”

“If I say I’ll have a drink with you will you leave me alone?”

Patrick stood in front of me when I asked this and smiled and took my hand and kissed it.

“As you wish.”

When Patrick finally walked away I could feel so many eyes on me, especially my teammate Jennie’s who had a huge thing for Patrick Kane.
