The New Assistant

Adam and I walked into the brightly lit Target and were hit with the overwhelming smell of buttery popcorn.

"Holy shit I need popcorn." Adam sighed turning to face the cafeteria area.

"Hell no! You guys need to be in shape for the season!" Adam rolled his eyes and followed me to the office area.

I quickly found a white desk to replace that god awful metal one and it was a steal at $90. Since I basically only needed little things $110 dollars would work well. I walked over to the little throw pillows for the two chairs in front of my desk.

"You've got to be kidding me." Adam muttered as he looked at the tiny pillows.

"What?" I asked, raised eyebrows.

"You're going to turn your office into the girliest thing ever, I wouldn't be caught dead in this aisle."

"Hey well, you offered to come!" I laughed as I placed two pink and brown pillows into the cart.

We both headed around the store for another half an hour, picking up the essentials- a new lamp, some cute wall art, and a new white desk chair in total it came to $193 dollars which I was pretty proud of. As a reward for spending and hour and a half in a "girlie" section, I bought Adam and I popcorn on the way out of Target with the extra $7.

Adam and I talked about the Devils and the guys the rest of the way back to the prudential center- small talk, nothing much.

"Thanks Adam for helping me at Target," I laughed and gave a silly smile to which he rolled his eyes, "Now I have no clue how to get it in my office!"

"Are you kidding? The biggest perk of being the player assistant is having 30 muscular men at your disposal. I'm sure I could get some of the guys to help come on they should be packing up or watching TV."

Adam and I walked inside into the guys sitting area which was a total man cave- a flat screen, air hockey, foosball, and a fridge decked out with snacks and drinks. About 10 guys were sitting there watching some espn thing about football.

"Ehem" Adam began, nudging me to go on.

"Would any of you guys be interested in helping me move some of my new office supplies into my office, I would only need about 3 guys-"

"No problem Charlotte," Dainius stood up with a smile, "I'm sure we can help. Patrik? Eric?"

"Of course," Said a czech accent followed by its owner standing up to shake my hand, "Hello Charlotte, i'm Patrik Elias. Pleasure to meet you."

I shook Patriks hand with a smile and also introduced myself to Eric. "Hi Eric i'm Charlotte, thank you for helping!"

"No problem" Finally, an accent I could understand- Canadien, "Where is your car so we can get started?"

"Follow me!" I smiled and led them outside.

Let me tell you, hockey players should be moving men on their off season. They moved, unpacked, and built a desk and a chair in 45 minutes.

"Thank you guys so much, this would have taken me like 4 hours!" I laughed and so did they, "i'll make sure you three get the good hotel rooms from now own!"

"Not a problem Charlotte, If you need any more heavy lifting you have 30 men that always love and excuse to get out of practice." Eric laughed and they headed out of the room.

With some minor adjusting and dusting, my office was complete. I had some girly wall art, brown and pink supplies and pillows, and my desk was perfectly white.

My office seemed like my own little world. Inside a place full of sweat, guys, and sports was my little girly office which I loved.
