I'm falling hard for you
A happy morning skate
It's 6am on a Saturday morning, sunny day to start in Chicago. Then there's Patrick Kane doing an early morning skate, as per usual.
He starts off the same as he usually does, gets all his gear and skates on, and does a couple of laps around the rink to get himself warmed up. Then shot a couple of pucks, from all different angles. He did this for about an hour or 2, but it didn't matter, when it was up to hockey Patrick lost track of time.
"Well someone's up real early" a familiar voice popped up from behind. Patrick turned around to see his bestfriend and teammate Jonathan Toews. "Aha well you know me, any chance I get to practice I'll take it. But why are you here? You're almost never on the ice till passed noon on a Saturday." Patrick asked.
"There's just a lot on my mind, and well I thought a nice morning skate would be best." Jonathan replied staring at the ground, not looking up for what seemed like the longest time. This worried him, the last time I'd seen Jon this down was when his grandmother passed away. "Like what?" I finally managed to ask, without sounding so curious. Finally Jon looked up and gave his greatest effort to smile, and for a split second he did smile, then the next he was back to staring at the ground and fidgeting with his hockey stick and skates.
"It's really nothing, it's just Jade's off visiting her parents for the whole week and I miss her. She said she'd call when she arrived, but it's been two days and nothing. Not even a text." Jon replied so quietly it was as if he was speaking to himself. Jade and him have been dating for about 2 months. "Maybe you could text her? But maybe she's a little busy with her family, since she hasn't seen them for months since she's moved here. Try not to worry too much." I said, trying to sound as comforting as possible.
"I guess you're right. I guess I just feel like I'm not important to her?" Jon spoke as if someone had stabbed him at the moment. He sounded so hurt, and quiet. I couldn't help but pat my friend on the back, and challenge him to a little competition. Maybe that will get his mind off of Jade. First they started racing around the rink, when Jon's phone rang over by the benches. "Be back in a sec" he said as he skated towards the benches.
"Hello?" Jon said without even looking at the screen. "Hey babe, I'm so sorry I didn't call but the flight messed me up and I just arrived. I miss you like crazy!" He smiled, so his girl hadn't forgotten him. "It's alright, I'm just glad you're okay. I miss you too. When are you coming back again?" He asked, trying to stop himself from laughing. He'd just vented his heart out to Kaner about Jade when really there was nothing to be worried about. Jade however heard a few giggles. "This Friday. And what's so funny?" She asked, giggling herself now. Jon explained what he told Patrick a while ago.
While Jon was on the phone, Kaner thought it would be a while. And judging by the smile on Jon's face, he knew who he was talking too. So Patrick continued his drills by himself. Hw skated around the rink a few times, then heard Jon laughing so hard. Sigh, when was the last time he'd felt like that? Never, he's always been so caught up in hockey to even settle on a girl.
Jon looked at his friend skating alone, then back to the conversation he's having with Jade. "Well I've gotta go now, I can't wait till Friday. I'll be there to pick you up from the air port. Don't forget to text me! Bye!" He said and hung up. Well that made him feel better, but now what was up with Patrick? Jon took some guesses, but thought not to tell Patrick about them. "So you wanna go out for some breakfast or something" He said skating towards Patrick, startling him. Patrick almost fell. "Uhh yeahh sure, there's a nce cafe around the block, we can walk there now." He said, skating towards the benches. Jon skated after him.
Packing up their things in silence was just too awkward, so Patrick broke it up. "So who was on the phone?" He asked, already knowing the answer. Jon was smiling like an idiot now. Just the thought of Jade made him happy. "Ohh it was Jade, turns out they messed up her flights, and she recently arrived there." He said blushing, remembering how sad he was earlier that she hadn't called or texted. "Haha, I told you not to worry!" Patrick joked, punching his friend in the arm.
As they walked to breakfast, the two talked about tomorrow's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins. They needed to win that game, to clinch a spot on the playoffs. When they arrived, they were greeted witht the fresh smell of coffee, and a... A beautiul, blonde waitress. "Hi, I'm Emma! I'll be your waitress for today, follow me to your table Mr Toews and Mr Kane." she said winking. Ohh so she was a fan? By far the prettiest fan he'd met. And Jon so it in his friends eyes, that he was interested in her,
After she left, Jon mumbled what he wanted to have trying to break the silence. "So you diggin that chic ehh?" Jon asked. "Maybe" he replied, staring down at his menu blushing. Emma went back to the counter to tell her friend Jenna who just showed up. "JENNA!!!! Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews are sitting at table 4!!!" She practicaly screamed. "Are you serious?! Patrick freakin Kane's here?!" Jenna screamed back. "Yeahh! And might I say Kaner's lookin real good this morning." Emma said before rushing over to take their orders.
"I'll have a ham and cheese omelet, with a french vanilla" Patrick said, smiling at Emma. She smiled back, damn she couldn't resist that smile of his. Lost in her thoughts, and staring at Kaner dreamily. Jon tapped her elbow lightly, "Hey Emma, can I have a ham and mushroom omelet with a french vanilla and fruit salid on the side?" he asked. "Sure thing, your orders will be here soon!" she beamed and walked away. Jon took a hint that he really liked this girl, so he told Kaner he's going to the washroom and winked.
Taking the hint, Kane called Emma back. "Hey, your food isn't ready yet but I can go check if it is-" she said, as he cut her off. "No it's fine, I can wait. But I was wondering if you were busy Friday night?" He asked, staring down at his hands blushing. She froze. Had Patrick Kane just ask her out on a date?! "Aha no I'm not" she said trying to stay calm. "Great, well wanna come over to my place or something to watch a movie?" He replied. "I'd love to!" She beamed. There it was again, her beautiful smile, that made him smile too. Damn his smile was so darn irresistable. "Here's my number", she said writing it down on a piece of paper. "Text me sometime tonight and we'll talk more" she said, handing him the paper and walking away to get their orders.
Jon arrived just on time to see her hand him the paper and leave. "Sooo.... whatchu got there?" He asked, already knowing what it was. "Her number" Kane replied, a little too excited. Emma returned shortly after with their food. They exchanged smiles. Emma was happy as can be. And she couldn't wait to tell Jenna!
Patrick and Jon probably spent half an hour there eating and discussing what movie to watch with Emma. Soon they called her over for the bill, and left a hefty tip for her. Emma when back, and behind the counter to tell Jenna.
Both Kaner and Emma were excited. Jon was happy for him, and Jenna was happy for her.
So this morning turned out pretty good so far.
He starts off the same as he usually does, gets all his gear and skates on, and does a couple of laps around the rink to get himself warmed up. Then shot a couple of pucks, from all different angles.
