You were always the One

The rest of my first day went pretty well. It was actually pretty quite. The person who I really saw was Ryan McDonough. He just need a knee brace while he trained. Jim had left and told me I was free to use the gym if I wanted to. Since we are in Connecticut for the week, I had no where to go but my hotel room. I quickly changed into a sports bra, an old Blackhawks shirt that I cut the sides and some basketball shorts. I placed my long brown hair into a messy bun. I placed everything in my bag and placed my headphones in my ears. I quickly walked to my car and traded my bag for my skateboard. What can I say, I come from a family that was obsessed with all sports including action sports. I quickly grabbed sun blocked, even with olive skin I still had to take care of it.
I was walking back to the building when I heard someone honked the horn.
"I hope you have a different shirt" I heard Zuc's say.
" why do you think I cut the sleeves out of it" I said.
"Ha what are you doing tonight"
"Nothing probably gonna hang in my hotel room"
"Don't do that come over to the house?"
"House?"
"Yea the teams house. We are having a small bbq and playing some video games, come by. It's a great way to meet the team"
"Ok sounds good take my number down"
I gave him my number and We waved each other goodbye. I went to training room and there was no one there.
"Just how I like it" I said.
When I was done with my stretch and hopped on the treadmill. There was a bit of commotion come threw. I turned over and saw a few guys on the team.
"Sorry to interrupt" one of the players who happened to be Rick Nash.
"It's ok don't worry, I was just about to leave"
"Please don't let us stop you" the one with long blonde hair said. Which was Carl Hagelin.
"Nah you guys aren't, I was about to go skate"
"Skate?" Nash asked.
"Yea, I don't know the neighborhood and I want to explore"
"Wow ok"
"I'm sorry my name is Rick Nash, blondie here is Carl Hagelin and shy boy over there is Derick Brassard"
I shook their hands and looked over at Brassard. He had theses amazing dark brown eyes and an adorable space between his teeth. He was so cute. I shook my head and smiled at them.
"Please tell me you will burn that shirt" Hagelin said to me.
"Ha like I told Zuc's it's a workout shirt"
"It better be"
We all laughed "I better go, see you guys later"
"Bye" they said.
I quickly ran out and jumped on my board. The state of Connecticut was such a beautiful and quiet state. The rink that we were practicing in was part of a small town. I haven't been on my board in so long. After an hour, I went back to my car. My phone vibrated and its was from an unknown number.
+ Hey it's Zuc's! The address is 218 Chestnut Lane. Party starts at 7!
I looked at the time and saw that was 5:30. I quickly started my car and drove to the hotel. The staff placed into a very nice hotel and a very nice suite. I dropped all my bags and took off all my clothes. The shower was running and I jumped in.
After twenty minutes, I was out and wrapped the towel around me. 6:20 pm the clocked read.
I guess I'm gonna be fashionably late. Another twenty minutes, I was fully changed into some black shorts and a green army shirt. My tattoos were exposed, which I didn't mind at all. My hairs was placed into a messy wet bun. I quickly put on my winged eyeliner and a bit of mascara.
"Nice" I said while looking at myself in the mirror.
I placed my black vans on, grabbed my keys and I was off. On my way to the house, I saw a
Mini mart, which I went in and grabbed some cases of light beer. Since the boys were training, I figure they were watching the calories they were taking in. Luckily the house was down the block.
I grabbed both cases and my bag. The door was opened and I just let myself in.
"Woe you need help there" I heard a familiar accent.
"Yes please. Just grab my bag" I said to turn around to Derick.
He smiled at me and I did the same.
"are you sure?"
"Yea no problem"
"Ok come upstairs"
I quickly followed him and he held the door.
"Jezz woman, you're strong" Zuc's said.
"Yea what can I say" I said while dropping the boxes on the counter.
"brassy you couldn't help her" Hagelin asked in a bright salmon v neck.
"She said she got it. Here" he said while handing me my bag.
"Thank you"
"No problem" he said while a small smile and walked outside.
"Grab a beer and join us" Zuc's said while playing his hands in the small of my back.
We walked outside and everyone was there.
There was beer pong tables set up and a mini goalie net where some of the guys there shooting at.
"Come sit over here doc" Kreider said while sipping on his beer.
"Ugh, Kreider isn't it?" I asked.
"Yup, I'm so glad that we know each others name"
"Please I'm surprised you're here and not back at the rink doing you're suicides"
Everyone started cracking up "good one" he said.
After another hour, I was comfortable with everyone. I was sitting next to Zuc's and Kreider. They were asking me questions.
"So where you originally from?" John Moore asked.
"I'm was born and raised from New York. Well actually A small town on Long Island"
"Wow we got a real New Yorker with us" Kreider yelled.
We all laughed "you're one bad ass" Hags commented.
"What do you mean?"
"Well for one you skateboard, you have tattoos and carry your own weight"
"Ha well I come from a family of two brothers and a sister. So I can hold my own weight. Two my brothers are really into skateboarding and bmx. That's where i got that from. Third, I'm proud of my tattoos"
"wow you are so beautiful" Kreider said.
"in your dreams" I said while pushing him.
"Wait if you're from Long Island, why aren't you an Islander fan?" Tanner Glass asked.
"Please! That doesn't mean anything! I'm not a follower! I have been a fan of you guys since '94"
"Seriously, I think I love you" Kreider said.
I rolled my eyes "so why did you decide to be a sports doctor and come back to New York?" Brassard asked.
I was surprised that he asked a question, since he's been quite the whole night.
"Well I always liked helping and taking care of people. I also fell in love with the sport of hockey. Since you guys tend to more physical. I decided to become a sports doctor and try to work with NHL. I decided to come back to New York because I was home sick. I was living the west coast since I graduated. Chicago reminded me too much of New York. So I decide after last season, to go back to my family"
Everyone nodded " I'm guessing Chicago is missing you badly" Zuc's said.
"Why do you say that?" I said while sipping on my beer.
"Cause you have three missed calls and two texts from J. Toews"
My eyes widen and everyone was hounding me "oooooo"
"Dam it" Kreider said.
"Excuse me" I said while getting up and walking back inside the house.
