Public Relations

Its been a couple weeks since I started working for the Pittsburgh Penguins. My son is coming in two days from Vancouver. I'm excited to see him since I haven't seen him in almost a month. The house is all set up and ready for him and Lily to come back. I have to pick them up from the airport on Thursday night. I know Brad is going to miss having Reid around, but he will go back to see his father soon enough.
I've been hanging out with Sidney a lot after training camp and we've become really good friends. The other guys seem to be warming up to me, but some are still not excited to have me around. Luckily most of the guys Sidney hangs out with are good with me being around. I like the guys a lot and I know in due time all the guys will get along with me!
I'm sitting in my office finishing up a press release about the players with injury's when I hear a knock at my door.
"Come in." I call toward the door not looking up from my laptop. The door opens.
"Hey are you busy?" James says from the door. I look up and he's got his head sticking through the slit of the door. I chuckle and shake my head.
"No, just finishing up a press release, but you can come in." I say saving my document and closing my laptop. James comes in and shuts the door behind him. He walks over to the chair without saying anything and sits down on one of the chairs.
"So what's up?" I ask james. I fold my hands on top of my laptop and lean forward. I've been told James spends a lot of time in the PR office.
"Not much actually." He says looking around my office.
"Well, you must be here for a reason." I say raising one eyebrow at him.
"Kinda." James says looking down at the ground.
"Did something happen?" I ask.
"No." He says looking up at me and smiling.
"I'm confused." I say leaning back in my chair and sighing.
"Well some of the guys were planning on going to a club tonight and we were wondering if you want to join us." James says smiling at me. I smile back.
"Well, that depends." I say.
"Depends on what?" He asks cocking his head to the side and raising his eyebrow.
"Are we planning on getting completely hammered or not?" I ask trying to keep a straight face.
"Oh, I'm definitely getting you hammered." James says his eyes shining. I smile and bite my lip.
"I'm in." I say.
"Perfect, text me your address and i'll pick you up at seven." James says as he stands up and walks toward the door. He opens my office door, but before he leaves he looks at me.
"See you tonight Alex." James says winking at me before leaving my office closing the door behind him. I sit back in my chair and smile to myself. He's so cute. I think back to his file. It's pretty big and it took me awhile to read. I know he's a player and sleeps with any girl he can, but maybe he just hasn't found the right girl yet. I shake my head trying to get him off my mind. I still have a lot of work to do today and I can't sit here and think about James Neal. I sigh and open my laptop deciding to get back to work. I focus as best I can getting a lot of work done in the last couple hours of my work day. I'm excited to go out with the guys tonight, but I'm also nervous being around James. I just don't know whats going to happen.

Notes

Short chapter, but its leading to things. Hmm maybe a little crush on James?!
