The Ice Queen

Chapter Forty Two

-Alyssa-

"So come on, Milan, what's going on?" I asked as Milan and I sat on the couch and faced each other. I sipped my wine and then placed it on the coffee table in front of me.

"All right," he smiled and then placed his wine on the table and repositioned himself so that he was facing me better, "So the guys and I have been talking-"

"Uh oh," I laughed nervously and Milan smirked and placed his hand on my thigh.

"You're good, Alyssa, real good," he started and I gave a small smile, so far liking where this was going, "And then after the all star game, more people saw how good you were," he said and I nodded my head, "Your contract ends this year and the Bruins are going to make you an offer."

My eyes widened as I stared at Milan, "Are you serious?"

"Yeah, I mean Pete said that you'll have to work-"

"Yes!" I squealed and then jumped up from my seat and wrapped my arms around Milan's neck and kissed his cheek, "I'll do anything to be closer to you and the others."

"See, I told you that you would like it," Milan said as he wrapped his arms around my waist and pressed his lips against mine.

"I do, I really do!" I smiled brightly, "You'll have to finish my training on teaching me how to fight though-"

"Leave the fighting to us," he said and I rolled my eyes and climbed onto his lap, being sure to pull up my dress so that I didn't rip it.

"No, I'm a hockey player, I need to learn to fight," I said and Milan sighed, placed his hands on my thighs and nodded his head.

"This summer," he said and I smiled, draped my arms over his shoulder and kissed his cheek, "What time do you have to be back?"

I looked over towards the clock on the wall and saw that it was just after eight thirty, I did the mental math and then looked back towards Milan, "Three and a half hours," I said and Milan smirked and I felt his hands move up my thighs, over my waist and up my sides. I shivered when he moved his hands to my back and his fingers found my zipper. I arched my back at the sound of that zipper going down and feeling Milan's lips and teeth on my neck. I knew it was bad to mess around before a game, especially since the game was in less than sixteen hours, but neither of us could help ourselves.

-Milan-

"Don't get out," Alyssa said as I pulled up in front of her hotel at eleven fifty seven. I looked at her confused, but then saw a group of her teammates walking across the parking lot and understood why.

'...Won't have to deal with that soon...' I thought as I turned in my seat a little and looked at Alyssa, she had to fix her hair in the mirror and I smirked and moved my hand to her thigh and started to rub the inside of it.

"Milan," she giggled and I smirked and felt her grab my arm and turn in her seat, "I'll see you tomorrow."

"I wish I was waking up with you," I said and she sighed and nodded her head and then sat up and bent over to press her lips onto mine.

"I know, me too," she said and then kissed my cheek, "I'll see you tomorrow."

"We goin' out after the game?" I asked and she shook her head.

"No, we're going back to DC after the game," she sighed and I frowned, but nodded my head, "Good luck tomorrow," she patted my knee and then opened her door a smirk on her face.

"I just want to apologize now for your sad feelings when you lose tomorrow," I smirked and Alyssa scoffed and shook her head.

"Whatever lets you sleep a night babe," she said and then waved towards me as she closed the door and walked into the hotel and I sighed.

"I sleep well when you're there," I muttered to myself and then drove off when she walked up to some teammates inside the hotel. As I was driving home my phone went off and I saw that it was Brad calling me, "Yeah?"

"What did she say?" he asked and I smirked.

"She's excited," I smiled and heard Brad and Tyler cheering.

"It's gunna be so awesome if she becomes a Bruin!" Tyler said.

"I know," I smiled brightly, "I can't wait for it to be announced that she's a Bruin."

"Patience Looch, we still have the rest of the season and then playoffs," Brad said and I sighed "She'll be here before you know it."

-Alyssa-

"Rough night?" I asked when I looked at Mike to see that he looked tired while we were getting dressed.

"No," he muttered and I sighed and shook my head.

"Don't let Coach see you like this, he'll scratch you," I muttered and then finished up on getting dressed, I didn't understand why he was acting this way towards me, and it was getting annoying.

I listened to some of the guys discuss what kind of bunnies they saw yesterday at the clubs, but as soon as Coach walked in, they all shut up. Usually the night before a game, we don't go out, especially when the game is in the early afternoon, but for whatever reason, we all did. Granted, I didn't go out clubbing, but I did perform in certain activities that make me smirk just thinking about it.

Warm up came, we were all skating around our side of the ice, wearing out away jerseys and listen to the fans cheer when the team came out. I spotted a few red jerseys right before Alex came up to me.

"Yes?" I asked as he skated next to me.

"You can't keep doing this," he said and I looked at him confused.

"Doing what?"

"We'll talk later," he said and I looked at him confused as he skated off.

"Whatever," I muttered and looked over towards Mike to see that he was just skating around and making lazy shots towards the net, '...What's wrong with him?...'

After warm up was over, we went back into the locker room for one last lecture from Coach, and then went out to the ice. I was excited to find out that I was a part of the first shift, standing alongside Dennis, Sean Collins, Alex and Nick. The anthem was sung and then game was about to start.

Nick was facing off against Nathan, Chara was standing in-between Sean and Dennis and I was next to Milan while Alex stood in-between Andrew and Shawn Thornton. The puck was dropped and Nathan had passed it to Milan, but I instantly swiped it up and passed it to Alex, this game had just begun.

-Milan-

No one likes to lose their games, especially when the team we lost against, was my girlfriend's. It was a surprisingly short game, barely any delays or penalties, it seemed like everyone wanted to get the game over with, well now that it was, I wish it wasn't. The final score was four to three, Capitals, and looking back on the game, there were a lot of things that I would have done differently.

I showered, changed and finished up some quick interviews before walking out of the locker room to have the chance to see Alyssa one last time before they left to head back to DC.

"Looch!" I heard and turned to see Nathan coming up behind me, "I wanna see her too, Tammy wants me to give her something," he said and I saw the show box in his hands.

"What is it?"

"Pictures that we found while cleaning out the one room, mostly of all of us the first year we met her," Nathan said and then opened the box and pulled out some pictures, one was of Nathan, Brad and I standing with Alyssa just after she finished a game while still at Boston College.

"Nice," I said and Nathan nodded his head.

We headed down the hallway towards the visitor's locker room, I pulled out my phone and was about to text Alyssa to come out when we heard a heated discussion around the corner.

"Sounds like AJ," Nathan said as we got to the corner and poked our heads around and saw Alyssa leaned against the wall glaring at Green and Ovechkin.

"What's going on?" I asked and Nathan shook his head, not knowing.

"You can't do that Alex!" Alyssa growled and Ovechkin sighed and shook his head, an angry look on his face too.

"I'm Captain, and unless you want to be scratched-"

"Do you feel threatened or something?" she asked and we stared in shock, not understanding why Alyssa was being threatened on being scratched.

"He's no good, AJ-"

"No, don't call me that- Don't act like you're my friend after telling me that I can't see my boyfriend anymore just because he's on a different team!" she growled and I clenched my fists, angry at the fact that this was happening, "You can't do that! It's not like my game has worsened! If anything, it's improved! I obviously showed that today!"

Alyssa had the winning goal, she scored it two minutes left in the third period, we all thought that we could win in overtime, but when she scored that goal, that whole thought vanished, '...Why are they doing this?...'

They were still arguing, Nathan was holding me back, not wanting me to go over there and tell them how I feel about this. He wanted me to see how this all played out, well I was never so happy to have my friend there when I saw at that moment, Green push Alyssa against the wall and forced his lips onto hers, I nearly fell over in shock.
