not like them. (connor mcdavid love story)

I got home just in time to pick Alisa up. I called and honked the horn so she would get the message that I was in a hurry to get leave.

Alisa ran out of the apartment with one shoe on and the other off. I couldn't help to laugh at her stupid clumsiness.

"Please, at least give me a warning before you get here. I was in the middle of doing something when you honked your stupid ass horn. But anyway, why did you leave?" Alisa asked.

"Marc had told me like two weeks ago that I needed to get a jersey before the games started and guess who completely forgot?" I said laughing as I turned the corner.

Alisa shook her head, "I sometimes wonder if you were ever properly diagnosed while you were in school?"

I slapped her in the arm and laughed. Alisa and her brother Brent were born in Canada while her parents were born and raised in Russia. Meanwhile, I was born and raised in America with brother Martin. Our parents were from Mexico and moved here at a young age.

I had moved to Canada directly out of high school and went to school in Toronto. I had gotten my bachelors in Broadcasting and moved to Edmonton when I first met Alisa. She was partially the reason why I had gotten the job I have currently.

We quickly stopped at Panera before quickly heading to the radio station.

As soon as I got to the station, I seen Marc and our producer Edouard putting our equipment into the truck.

"Marc, the love of my life!" I said as I went up and hugged him.

Marc and I had been really close since I first started working for him. He took me under his wing immediately and showed me the ropes. We had a brother and sister relationship and along with that went the horrible nicknames.

"So you did remember! And I also see that you brought the beautiful Alisa with you!" Marc said laughing nervously.

I knew that Marc and Alisa both had a small interest in each other. They met when I introduced them at my 20th birthday party and they both hit it off but never had the nerve to get each others numbers.

"I knew that you would be okay with it since you have that crush on her and plus, she wanted to come herself! Maybe this time the two of you could finally get each others numbers!" I said nudging his side.

The two of them groaned as Edward and I laughed at them. They had that middle school crush on each other and knew if neither Edward or I would say something about it, they would never speak about it.

"Lets go! You know Rogers Arena gets fucking packed even during pre season games!" Edward said ushering us into the truck.

Alisa and I jumped into the back while Edouard and Marc were in the front. We were pretty much just in the back messing with the equipment and trying to give Edouard a heart attack. He hated it when people messed with his precious equipment so whenever I had the chance to mess with it, I would.

"You need to hurry the hell up because if Alisa and Natasha mess up my equipment, I'm kicking your ass personally!" Edouard told Marc with a stern voice.

"Lighten up! Have you not gotten any, is that why your so angry?" I said before making everyone in the truck, including Edouard himself laugh.

Edouard turned around and slapped me on the back of the head.

Edouard was gay and he was close to getting married with his partner Jason. Edouard was constantly pestering me to hurry up and find a date or he would find one himself for me.

"You know what, is this your form of payback for me not yet finding a date for you wedding? Because Marc and Alisa haven't either!" I said as I tried to defend myself.

"Don't change the subject Nat! We both know that Marc and Alisa will end up going together so it's actually only you that doesn't have a date!" Edouard said accusingly.

"Please! Marc and Alisa are just fucking weird to begin with so again, is this your form of payback?" I said again.

But before Edouard could respond, we noticed that we arrived to Rogers Arena. Alisa and I jumped over the two men and quickly got out of the truck leaving both of them wanting to kick our asses for hurting them.

"I see you got McDavids jersey! The question is, how much did you end up spending on it because that shit looks legit as hell?" Alisa asked me.

I shrugged, "I honestly can't remember. I just bought really quickly and didn't end up looking at the final price. But I did met a guy outside the store who was really nice!"

"Really? What was his name!" Alisa asked me.

"His name was Connor. He was really funny and if I'm being honest, super cute!" I said as pulled out the Microphones from the stands.

"Huh, thats the first name of the guys jersey you have! But I seriously doubt that it was him who you were talking too," Marc said.

I shrugged and continued to help Edouard with the stuff inside the truck. Meanwhile Alisa and Marc went inside and started setting everything up in our station.

"So, you really think you met Connor McDavid? I mean, who knows! You would be the last person honestly but what if you did?" Edouard asked me as he shut the back doors to truck.

I shrugged again, "Who knows! Like I said, I don't know any hockey players and really, the only person I can actually name is Wayne Gretzky and thats only because he is a god to this country."

Edouard laughed and I told him I was heading to the bathroom before heading over to Marc and Alisa.

I walked to restroom and started singing to music that they had playing in the arena. I quickly used the bathroom and washed my hands before heading out. But just as I walked out of the bathroom, I bumped into someone.

"Yo, I am so sorry!" I said as my phone fell on the floor, screen first.

"No, it's all good!" The person said.

I looked up and seen it was Connor!

"Hey! Whats up!" I said as I picked up my phone from the floor and I checked that it wasn't cracked or anything.

"Hey! I told you that we would meet each other again!" Connor said laughing but before I could speak again, I heard a gasp.

"Holy shit, you're fucking Connor McDavid!" I heard Alisa say with her voice going up at least 10 tones higher.

"Uh, yeah!" Connor said nervously. His face went red as he wanted to keep his identity hidden from me a little longer.

"Big fan! But I came here to tell Nat here that Marc wants you at the station in five minutes or he's gonna kill you," Alisa said as she shook his hand one last time before leaving.

"So, I guess you know who I am now!" Connor said as he scratched his neck a little disappointed.

"Yeah but that isn't going to change anything if thats what you're wondering. Anyway, it was nice meeting you!" I said smiling before turning and leaving.

But before I should get any farther, Connor grabbed my wrist.

"Maybe we could exchange numbers? You know, for science reasons!" Connor said trying not to make an ass out of himself.

This was the first time he had met a girl who didn't pounce at him like he was a piece of meat so he was going to take advantage at this opportunity.

"Uh sure! Here, just type your number in my phone and I'll text you after work," I said as I handed him my phone.

He quickly typed his number in and waved goodbye before running off to his locker room, I assumed.
