The Ice Queen

Chapter Thirty Five

"Have a safe flight," I sighed as I wrapped my arms around Milan's shoulders and dug my face into his neck, "Text me when you land."

"You too, you'll probably still be in the air when I land," he said and I sighed and nodded my head, "I'll see you next week."

"I can't wait," I smiled and then quickly pressed my lips against his and then watched as he and his teammates headed down the walkway towards their gate. I sighed and waved when they headed towards their plane.

"Red!" I heard and turned around to see Nick and Mike walking over towards me, "Come on, our planes getting ready to board."

"All right," I said and then followed them to our gate, gathered all of my things and then walked onto the plane with Dennis, Alex, Mike, Nick, Marcus and Sean. We took over first class and I sat next to Mike, staring out the window and watching the men walk around out there.

"Late night?" Nick asked as he popped his head between the seats.

I smirked and looked back towards him, "Wouldn't you like to know," I giggled and Mike gave me a small smile.

"Wooohooo, Red's got her game on with the Bruin!"

"Please shut up," I laughed as I shook my head and looked down towards me phone to see that I had one last text, a heart and smiley face from Milan. I smirked and then powered down my phone and took a deep breath, '...This is gunna be a long flight...'

The guys were in their own conversation, I leaned against the seat and head my eyes closed, looking like I was sleeping, but I really wasn't. I was thinking, I had a lot on my mind, one being what Brad said last night before we left the after game event.

"Keep an eye on your teammates Red, they're gettin' too touchy feely."

'...What does that mean? Are the guys seeing something that I wasn't? They're just my teammates, just my friends...'

-Mike-

I looked over towards Alyssa and saw that she was sleeping, I sighed and then got up and walked over towards where some of the guys were, on the other side of the first class. There were fourteen seats in first class, there were only seven of us, but we made sure that the only ones in this class, we liked our privacy.

The guys and I were sitting together, talking amongst ourselves about the game and Florida. Nick was looking at Alyssa when he sighed and looked back towards me.

"Sorry man," he said and I nodded my head, knew what he was talking about, "Lucic of all people."

"I know," I muttered and then looked over towards Alyssa and mentally cursed because I really like her.

We kept ourselves busy as we flew from Ottawa to Philly and then Philly to Florida. Alyssa slept most of the way, but when she was awake, she was really quiet, the guys and I wondered what was wrong, but no one asked.

When we landed in Florida, there was a SUV ready for us, Nick got into the drivers' seat and headed over towards the hotel that we were staying at. Alyssa sat in the passenger's seat, she had her window down and I watched as her hair blew back and she enjoyed the warm sunlight.

We got to our hotel and Alyssa went to her room, I sighed and stared at her door. I didn't know what she was quiet about, I was worried. I knocked on the door and Thomas Vokoun answered, I looked at him surprised but then remembered Coach saying that the hotel screwed up and Alyssa was going to have to room with someone.

"I'm just heading out, she's asleep," he said and I nodded my head and walked into the room, seeing her face down in the bed, the blankets wrapped around her and she was curled in a little ball.

I smirked and then walked over towards the bed and head her phone vibrating on the table. I looked and saw Lucic's face popping up on the screen, I growled and shook my head.

Alyssa rolled in her bed and groaned, I bent down and leaned against her bend. She rolled over and I could feel my face heating up at the face that she was inches away from my face, '...This is awkward...' Alyssa sighed in her sleep and I saw her blink her eyes a little, '...Shit...'

She cursed as she jumped back and ended up rolling of bed and hitting the ground on the other side of the bed. I stood up and leaned over the bed to see her legs still propped onto the bed, her head against the wall and back on the ground.

"You ok?" I asked because she was groaning.

"What the hell, Mikey?" she asked and I chuckled.

'...At least she's using my nickname, so she's not mad at me...' I thought and she groaned and pushed herself up, "Did you drink a redbull before you went to sleep? Because you flew pretty far," I teased and she glared at me.

"Not cool!" she hissed as she climbed onto the bed and I smirked, "What do you want?"

"Just to talk, haven't seen you in like five days!" I said as I plopped next to her on her bed.

"I was sleeping."

"And I was bored," I said, trying not to show my embarrassment of waking up in her face.

"What did you want to talk about?" she asked as she moved to sitting in front of me, crossing her legs and placing a pillow on her lap.

"How was Ottawa?"

"Fun," she smiled, "Met some really nice guys, and then some not so nice, and then some creepy," she giggled.

"Creepy?"

"Just some of the young and single ones, I mean, come on, I know I'm hot, but no need to gawk," she spoke as if she was a diva and then we both laughed, "They were harmless though," Alyssa sighed, "Giroux was a pain in the ass though."

"Isn't he always?" I asked and Alyssa nodded her head, "What else?"

"Nothing much, I got to play center and that was different- But fun, I liked it," she said and I smirked.

"Good, you played well, maybe Coach will change you," I said and she nodded her head.

"What about you? How was your vacation?" she asked and I smirked, "A lot of parting? A lot of bunnies? Come on, what happened?"

"Nothing really, same ole, same ole," I smirked because she pouted, "Just your typical schedule, party, drink, fuck, drink, arrested, drink-"

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Arrest?!" she asked, kneeling up and having a smirk on her face, "Who got arrested?"

"Ovi almost did and then couple other guys," I said and she bounced up and down.

"Story time!" she squealed and I laughed.

-Alyssa-

"Awww! That was so nice of you!" I squealed as I jumped onto Alex and wrapped my legs and arms around him.

"He told you?" Alex asked and I smirked and nodded my head. Alex rolled his eyes and hugged me back and then placed me on the ground, "It's no big deal."

"Alex you helped a girl that was about to get like gang rapped!" I said and Alex rubbed the back of his neck and looked down, "Did you at least get her number? Or have a night with her?"

"Alyssa, she's almost rapped and you think that she's gunna jump into bed with me?" Alex asked and I gave him a hard look, knowing that he was lying, "Fine, both," he smirked and the guys whistled and patted his back.

"Knew it," I smirked and Alex laughed, "So you beat the shit out of those guys?"

"Yeah, Ovi here wouldn't even let them get up, it was awesome!" Marcus said and I smirked.

"So after you rescued the damsel in distress and then slept with her, what were the results?" I asked and Alex's face turned red and my face lit up, "Well?"

"I'm seeing her again tonight." he said and I squealed and bounced up and down.

"That's what? The fourth time?" Nick asked and Alex nodded his head and my smile brightened.

"She doesn't know anything about hockey, so she had like no clue who I was," Alex said and I nudged my shoulder into his, happy for him, "I think it's actually pretty cool that she gets all excited when I talk to her about my career."

"What's her name?"

"Amanda," Alex said and I smirked and all the guys and I started to look around because we heard a phone going off and didn't know who's it was.

"Yo AJ, you're butt's lighting up!" I heard and felt my back pocket, pulled out my phone and saw that it was my phone that was going off.

"Why you looking at my butt?!" I teased and Marcus' face turned red, which made everyone laugh.

I looked down and saw that it was Milan calling me, I had missed his call before and texted him saying that I was sorry. I smiled and answered the phone, "Hey Milan," I said and turned away from the guys and headed into the other room.
