Im in Love with a Broad Street Bully

Chapter 3
“Well Maxie he definitely is the most handsome guy in a Couturier jersey.” Dani whispered to me as I stared out at the ice shaking my head. “I cant believe I didn’t put it all together yesterday.” I commented looked at Dani and Mike “What do you mean Max?” Dani questioned turning towards me in her chair as we waited for the third period to start. “Yesterday at starbucks cutie with a booty, yeah that’s Sean.” I expressed pointing towards the ice.
“Also when you Mike wrote my name, they said Coots for me, but as I was getting up to get my drink I saw him look up as if he was caught by surprise and then the whole attractive guy in the Couturier jersey and his name was Sean and he was sure we’d see each other.” I rant leaning back in my chair covering my face shaking my head. “Maxie I wouldn’t sweat it okay at least you know who the guy is and its not like you’ll see him again after tonight, right?” Mike said trying to lighten the mood. I groaned looking up and over at him and shook my head giving him a look that said ‘shut up now’.
As the game came to an end the crowd was screaming because of the Flyers getting a home win, but what caught my eye was a large security guard standing at the end of our row, what really shocked me was the fact that he called me over. “Excuse me sir did I do something wrong?” I questioned with a worried look as I put my purse over my chest. The man shook his head “No ma’am theres just someone that would like to see you after the game.” He answered giving me a comforting smile I nodded looking back at my two friends then back to the security guad “Uh could I bring my friends with me? Im their ride and that wouldn’t be fair for me to leave them here stranded.” I asked the tall guy whose name according to his name tag was Jim.
Jim look over towards my friends and then back to me nodding, turning around I waved them over “Someone wants to meet me.” I told them as we started walking up the stairs with Jim. Mike started laughing “Well this should be interesting don’t you think so Dani?” he asked jokingly winking at me I flipped him off as Dani laughed putting her arm around me walking towards the doors that lead to where the players come out of when they leave. Once we made it to hall outside the locker room Jim left us going to probably tell Sean that he brought me here. “Are you excited?” Dani asked me smiling brightly at me. I shrugged with a small smile “Yeah but Im nervous too. I mean what would Sean Couturier want with a girl like me?” I said looking down at my feet. “I could think of a lot of things…” Mike said under his breath and received a whack upside the head from Dani and a glare from me.
The door opening is what stopped us talking as a bunch of people were walking out the last was the captain himself, Claude Giroux, “Hey are you guys supposed to be back here?” he asked looking between the three of us. Mike nodded “Uh well she’s actually waiting for one of your teammates to come out.” He explained pointing in my direction. “Oh you’re the girl Seans been talking about non-stop. Uh he should be out shorty press really wanted to talk with him. Go easy on him eh?” He said before waving towards us and walking away. I nodded looking at his retreating form then back to my friends “Wow Mike Im proud you actually produced a sentence in front of Giroux.” I said laughing along with Dani while Mike blushed and flipped us off. As we were laughing we didn’t hear the door opening till someone cleared their throat. Turning around I stopped seeing Sean Couturier standing in front of me “Maxine?” he asked stepping forward getting closer to our group. I nodded “Hi Sean.” I replied shaking his hand I looked back over my shoulder “These are my friends Danielle Hughes and Mike Turse.” I introducing stepping to the side so he could greet them. “Nice to meet you guys, but I was wondering if we could go somewhere private to talk?” he asked biting his lower lip with a nervous expression on his face.
“I’d love to talk to you, but I well uh Im their ride and have to make sure they get home safely.” I tried to explain to him seeing the look of defeat on his face made me feel even worse about it all. “Uh Max we can take a cab home Im staying with Mike anyway we have plans for tomorrow so we can get ready for the dinner with his dad.” Dani interjected giving me a pointed look that said man up woman don’t let him slip away I nodded then looked back at Sean who had a small smile on his face. “Well Coots I guess this means you have me for the night.” I said smiling at him “So where do you want to go?” I asked as Dani and Mike said a silent goodbye giving us privacy I waved as they left.
He shrugged his shoulders “Uh would you be open to going to like your place or mine? I just want it to private so we can get to know each other.” He probed shifting his weight from side to side. Do I want him to come over? I certainly don’t want to go out anywhere and have the possibility of being caught by fans. My apartments fine just light conversation what could possibly happen? Shit answer him he’s staring at you. I battled with myself before answering him “Uh my apartment is good if that’s okay with you?” I finally answered after receiving a nod we both headed out to our own cars and then went back to my apartment.
As I parked in the lot I sat back thinking to myself what the hell am I doing? Shaking the thought away I got out of the car and met Sean half-way towards the entrance of the building. “Now before you enter this house just forewarning I have two huskys that may or may not be awake. Also shoes off at the door.” I stated as we walked in and went up to my floor in the elevator. “No problem and yeah I remember mentioning something about two dogs when we talked after you punched me.” He stated laughing a little bit as we exited the elevator. “Oh ha ha got jokes now do you?” I asked looking up at his brown eyes getting lost in them when he cleared his through I looked down towards the door trying to conceal my blush as I unlocked the door and opened I let him in first then followed suit.
Once we settled, both of us sitting on my couch listening to soft music, I turned towards him “So what do you wanna know about me Mr. most attractive guy in a couturier jersey?” I asked letting out a little laugh as I took a sip of my soda. “Tell me anything you want to tell me,” he laughed before continuing “Yeah that how long did it take you to piece that together?” he questioned looking at me smiling. “Uh well it took me till you sat in the sin bin to figure it all out.” I stated scratching the back of my neck. “You know hockey lingo? When can I marry you?” he joked with me which led to both of us sharing a laugh. “And really? That long I thought you would have noticed me at the starbucks, but anyway tell me about yourself.” He responded leaning back in his seat letting his arm rest on the back of the couch looking at me with a small smile on my face.
I shrugged “Well if your face wasn’t covered with a hat I probably would have,” I stated turning in my chair to stare at him running a hand through my hair, “well where do I start? Im the youngest of the two kids in my family, I was born and raised in Philly. Im twenty-two years old I’ll be twenty-three on December thirteenth so yes you are older than me by a year and a couple days. I have two amazing twin nephews that are my life and hockey buddies when Mike and Dani can’t watch with me. Im a proud mama to two huskies Demon and Nana. Im currently in my last year of school which is amazing I already have a job waiting for me with a new station as a sports journalist.” I finished my ramblings “So enough about me tell me about you.” I said glancing back at him biting my lip.
He nodded looking from my face to my lips back to my face “Uh well you probably already know a lot about me, but personally I was born and raised in Arizona till we moved to New Brunswick and that’s where it all really started. I have a younger brother, I have a cat named Flower. Uh I don’t know what I can tell you that you wouldn’t already know.” He stated then looked down at his phone “So who’s your favorite player, its me right?” he questioned standing to go get more water.
I laughed and smiled up at him “Well presently its between you and Schenner. But all-time favorite it’s has to be John LeClair.” I expressed with a smile on my face as blush crept up on to my cheeks. Sean came back in with a full glass of water “Wow Im honored to be a favorite, but really Schenner?” he retorted letting out a little laugh sitting down he noticed my reddened cheeks “Is someone blushing? No don’t hide that away I like see you blush.” He said lifting my face up as I tried to hide my face.
I looked at him with a small smile on my face biting my lip and for a hot second I got lost in those brown eyes of his till I pulled away laughing fixing my hair out of nervous habbit. “Funniest thing is I met John LeClair before and embarrassed myself because I was so shocked I was meeting him my brother had to do all the talking for me. I actually was shaking when I met him.” I told him taking a sip of my soda. He laughed a bit shaking his head “That cant beat when I met Malkin we played them and I just made him look like he wasn’t there.” He expressed “Now you know he along with the fans hate me not just because Im a flyer but because I made Malkin look like shit.” He said leading to both of us laughing “I still cant believe he is your favorite player.” I shook my head telling that.
“So what do you wanna do when your done school?” He asked now sitting a little closer than he did before.
“Uh well the good thing is I have a job waiting for me when I get out at a local new station where Im going to be the sports journalist on hand so, at the end of the games I get to go interview players, report on tv how games went, post on the website anything sports.” I chimed excited about my future job “Maybe I’ll interview you one day.” I smirked winking at him. He nodded “You sound really excited about this job, have you always wanted to do something in that field? And yeah maybe you will and I’ll make sure you definitely get to ask questions during the press after the games.” He responded sending a wink back my way.
Blushing I nodded “Yeah, actually growing up in my house it was always filled with sports whether we were playing or watching, sports was always all around us. My mom loves to talk about how she knew I was going to go into this field since I was a kid. I apparently used to commentate on my brothers game talk with the coaches keep up with stats for the team. And then as I got older I started managing school teams and commentating for home football games. But hockey was different when hockey came on I wouldn’t really talk Id watch shout every now and then, but I wouldn’t talk till the end and me and my dad would have full blown conversations about it. When I first started I wanted to be a teacher but switched my sophomore year because I didn’t really want that I wanted to do something with sports so here I am now a senior who is graduating this summer.” I rambled on and about my life again “I rambled again didn’t I?” I asked sheepishly.
Sean watched me as I talked nodding here and there till I finished “No its fine I love hearing you talk about something youre so passionate about. That’s like me with hockey I can go on and on about it. So don’t worry if youre talking about your passion and you feel yourself ramble its fine.” He reasoned placing a hand on my shoulder. At that moment I let out a soft yawn “I should probably leave let you get some sleep you have class tomorrow right?” he said getting up from his spot me following shortly after.
“Yeah.” I nodded and walked him to the door “Well this was fun.” I commented.
“Is this where I get a good night kiss?” he questioned with a small on his face.
“No, but this is where you ask for my number and if I’d like to see you again.” I replied handing him my phone.
“Well then Ms. Walker can I have your number and would you like to see me again?” he humored me handing me his phone. Nodding my head, I took his phone putting my number in his phone.
“Oh and Sean,” I said as he started to walk away I leaned up and kissed his cheek “Goodnight.” I smirked closing my door and headed off to bed.
