Proving Everyone Wrong
Seventeen
Meg’s POV
The sound of my alarm clock going off woke me up. I groaned and rolled over with the full intention of turning it off when it stopped on its own. I opened my eyes and saw Jon laying there rubbing his eyes. That’s when I remembered everything that had happened last night. He turned and looked at me, a small smile stretching across his face. He reached out and pushed a strand of my hair out of my face.
“You have the worst alarm clock I have ever heard.”
I started laughing at the look of disgust on his face when he said it before adding, “You’ve only heard it one morning, I’ve heard it every morning.”
He smiled at me and continued to play with my hair before tilting my head up to his and kissing me softly on the lips. “I should go back to my apartment and get ready since all my stuff is there.”
“Ok, I’ll see you at 7:30.”
“See you soon.” He gave me one last kiss on the lips before getting up and pulling his clothes on from last night and leaving. When I heard my front door close I immediately grabbed my phone and called Rosie. On the second ring she finally answered sounding groggy and asleep, “Damn it, Meg this better be fucking amazing because I was asleep.”
“I slept with Jonathan Toews.” I blurted out then covered my mouth. I heard Rosie gasp and sit up quickly, sounding much more awake than before she replied, “Holy shit. Are you serious?”
“Uh-huh”
“Oh my god. Oh my god. Holy fuck cakes.” She was whispering.
“Rose! What the hell am I going to do!?” I yelled into the receiver panicking now.
“What do you mean what are you going to do? You are going to keep doing Jonathan Toews, that’s what you’re going to do! Meg he is a fucking god!”
“Rose he’s the captain of the team I’m on. A team that I haven’t even played a game with. A team that can still get rid of me at any time.”
“Meg, calm down. I don’t think Jon’s just going to go into work today and be like,” she put on a deep voice in an attempt to mimic Jon’s, “‘ohkick Meg off the team because we had sex last night’” I laughed nervously a bit before panicking again.
“Rose I meant, how can we have a relationship? Like what if coach and the rest of the team get uncomfortable from it and they don’t like it. What if that breaks the rules or something!?”
“Ok Earth to Meg! You’re the first friggin’ girl in the NHL, I don’t think they exactly have that many rules, if any, written about this sort of situation. You and Jon just need to talk about where this is going to go and then how to confront the rest of the team about it. The two of you need to do this together.”
I nodded, the nerves were still wrapping around my wind pipe and tightening until I choked before releasing me again and winding up or down to a different spot to do the same thing. I slowly tried to calm my breathing and stop the choking, “I have to go get ready I’ll call you soon with an update, okay?”
“Ok” she yawned, “Night Meg, have a good day.”
I ended the call and plugged my phone into its charger before jumping into the shower and washing away my ‘I had sex last night’ appearance. When I got out I threw on a pair of my favorite black yoga pants and a maroon hanging-off-the-shoulder baggy shirt. I slipped my shoes on and pulled my hair up before making my way into my kitchen and setting the coffee on. I pulled out two mugs and set one ready for Jon and one the way I like my coffee. My door opened and closed and a moment later Jon was walking into my kitchen. He looked at me for a minute before running a hand through his hair, “Meg, I ugh I don’t think we should say anything to anyone about last night. Just keep it to ourselves and act normal, like nothing happened and then we can talk about it tonight and figure out what we are going to do.”
I breathed a sigh of relief, “You have no idea how glad I am that you just read my mind.”
He chuckled. I poured the coffee into the two mugs and handed him his. He wrapped his arm around my shoulders and pulled me into him tightly before placing a kiss on the top of my head. I leaned my head into his chest before we loosened our grip on each other and left my apartment.

We got into the locker room and started getting ready for practice. As I was heading out to the ice, Sharpie caught up to me. He leaned in really close and whispered so only I could hear, “You and Tazer are both acting slightly off. I don’t think anyone else has noticed but I’ll place my bets that you two slept together last night.” He pulled back to watch my reaction.
I looked at him and a multitude of emotions crossed my face; shock, horror, anger, and worry. “Don’t worry,” he looked amused by my reaction, “I won’t say a word and I don’t think any of the other guys can catch on. I only figured it out because I’m so close to the both of you.” He gave me a pat on the back before getting onto the ice. I got onto the ice and tried to go through practice like normal. The whole thing managed to slip my mind, luckily, but only during hockey. As soon as I got changed and started to head out to Jon’s car, it all came back t taunting me and I became extremely nervous. So nervous that I nearly punched Kaner when he snuck up behind me and grabbed my shoulders in an attempt to scare me, “Jesus Christ! Kaner what the hell!? Don’t do that to me!” He chuckled and headed off to his own car.
I only had to wait a minute before Jon showed up and unlocked the car. We drove most of the way in silence, the only sound coming from our fight over the radio. We walked into my apartment and I threw my stuff on the counter before dropping onto the sofa with a sigh. Jon came and sat next to me.
Jon’s POV
I sat down next to Meg who had her eyes closed and her arms dangling at her sides.
“Meg?”
Her eyes opened and she sat up as she turned to look at me.
“I think we should talk about everything.” She nodded in agreement and looked at me waiting to start. “Ok, well, I really like you and I want to keep us going.” She raised her eyebrows at the sound of ‘us’ and I mentally kicked myself. “Sorry, let me start over.” She nodded, looking at me curiously. I sighed and ran a hand through my hair before continuing on, “I want there to be an us. I don’t know where you stand but I can tell you that I haven’t been as happy as I have been with you with anyone else, ever. I want us to happen and I really hope you feel the same way.”
She shifted in her spot before speaking the words that I so longed to hear, “I want there to be an us too.” I felt myself sigh in relief and relax. “But Jon, what are we supposed to say to the coaching staff and our teammates and how is this going to work out. Is this, us, even allowed?”
I looked at her sadly before shrugging, “I have no clue. Honestly Meg I really have no idea. What I do know is that it is always better to tell coach before he finds out.” She nodded and then came closer to me. I pulled her onto my lap and nestled my face in her hair that always smelled like berries. I kissed down her neck before turning her around and catching her lips with mine. I couldn’t think straight when I was with her like this. She had this ability to make me completely numb to everything except her. Our lips parted just enough for her to breathlessly say, “My room. Now.”
