One-Shot Stories

22-year-old Andrea was super excited for this next chapter in her life to begin. She just graduated from Syracuse University with her degree in Communications and was brought on by the Toronto Maple Leafs Hockey Club as an assistant in their player relations department to the general manager. She was nervous about leaving New York since she had lived there her entire life, but her best friend Cassie was the nanny for Tyler Bozak's son, so she knew things would be an easy adjustment.

Andrea arrived to Air Canada Centre a few months ahead of schedule to embrace her new surroundings. She was so excited to be working in the NHL and couldn't wait to get started. It was a beautiful arena in a gorgeous city and emotions were all over the place. Andrea pressed the button to the elevator to head up to the general manager's office when she saw Tyler.

"Andrea! You're finally here!!!" Tyler beamed, hugging her.

"That I am. How are you and the family?" Andrea asked.

Tyler smiled, "Really great. Kanon's walking and we're having another little one soon. How about you?"

"Oh gosh, I'm so nervous! I hope I don't screw this up," Andrea worried.

"You are going to be amazing, don't you worry. They are going to love you here," Tyler reassured.

The two of them got off the elevator on the 15th floor, and headed to the GM's office. While walking the long and narrow hallway, they ran into Joffrey Lupul, Nazem Kadri, Mitch Marner, and Auston Matthews.

"Hey Bozie, you got another hot date. Who is this?" Mitch joked.

Andrea drew a smirk on her face, "I'm Andrea and the GM's new assistant, so you boys better watch your back!"

Soon, Andrea's favorite player and crush, Morgan Reilly, stepped out of the office. He took a notice to her and smiled, "Why hello there. I'm Morgan. Who are you?"

"She's our new boss lady," Auston said.

"What? Huh?" Morgan asked.

Andrea shook her head, "I'm an assistant to the GM in the player relations department. I help him oversee player performances."

"Well, what a job! It's a pleasure to meet you, Andrea. I can't wait to get to know you more," Morgan smiled, shaking her hand.

"Someone's got a crushhhhh," Joffrey teased.

Morgan scoffed, "Says the guy who can't keep a girl for more than two months."

Andrea chuckled before heading into the GM's office for her meeting.

---------------------------------

Later that evening, Andrea decided to help Cassie with babysitting little Kanon tonight. Tyler and his wife went out on a double date with Dominic and Mary Moore, so it would be nice to just relax a little. The girls were having a chat while Kanon played with his toys in the living room.

"So, what happened today?" Cassie asked.

Andrea nodded, "It was great. The GM is so sweet, the pay is amazing, and I can't wait to get started. It was just weird because I saw Morgan, and he was so cute, but all the guys were around and being such assholes. They kept teasing him."

"That's what guys do. I wouldn't worry," Cassie said.

The doorbell soon rang. Andrea jumped up with $25 in hand, thinking it was the Chinese food she and Cassie ordered. Upon opening the door, she didn't expect to see who she saw, "Morgan. What are you doing here?"

"I...I thought Tyler was home. I needed him for a couple hours. I'm having some issues fixing my fence and needed help," Morgan replied.

Andrea smiled a little, "My dad was a carpenter before becoming a real estate agent. I could maybe help. He taught me some things."

"That would be great!" Morgan exclaimed.

Cassie peeked over the couch and saw what was happening, "Go ahead Andrea, I can handle Kanon. Go have a good time. Don't forget, we have the Blue Jays game tomorrow night."

Boy would fun soon begin....
