Moving up to the NHL

I just stand there in shock. How could I not reconize my favorite goalie? He is good enough to be a starter, but the Pens already have a starter. It's great that the Pens have more than one reliable goalie. Matt, Tristan and Casey are all doing amazing.
"So, what do I do?" I ask hoping that one of them has good advice.
"You have never delt with guys, have you," says Kristen. That sounded like more of a statement than a question. I just shake my head. I never really had a real boyfriend before. Guys have used me to try and get me into bed, but obviously I wouldn't do it, so I just kinda stay away from dating. Jarry is the cutest guy I have ever seen and I really hope he isn't just into sex. I want him to like me for me.

Jarry's POV

"She's pretty cute," says Sid with a grin. "Try to get her number."
Sid is always willing to help. He is always there for his teammates and because I'm mostly new to the team, of course my new teammates will mess with me a little. I have been playing for the minors for a few years and only played a few preseason games with the Pens, but this is my first regular season with them. I have had plenty of girlfriends, but it was always so tough asking them out. Sometimes it's tough to be guy. If I can stop a hockey puck that is moving 100 miles per hour, I can ask a girl out. Before I do, I just need to get my thoughts together.
"I don't know," I say. Sid seems annoyed with my stubbornness. This is tough to do. Sid just gets up and walks over to her. I can feel the heat going to my cheeks. I feel like I could puke. This is embarrassing. Sid, however, returns with her number.
"See, that wasn't so hard," says Sid as he hands me her number. I could kick his ass, but he is one of my best friends and he is only trying to help. I hope she doesn't think I can't handle shit myself.
"Thanks," I say as I put her number in my pocket. Sid is giving me that look telling me to ask her out. He obviously thinks we would be good together. He just wants me to be happier than I have been. Things with my last girlfriend didn't end so well. I found out that she was a cheater, but that's a story for another time. Girls have just walked all over me in the past, cheating, using me for sex and/or money, etc. I wonder why people have to be like that, and it's not just women, it's men too. Women may be more interested in money as men are more interested in sex and who has the hottest girlfriend/wife. I hope this girl is a lot better.

Natalie's POV

They get up and leave. I heard the Penguins have practice tonight. They have to play the Golden Knights tomorrow. Going to be a tough game. Sidney Crosby asked me if Jarry could have my number. I get it, he was too shy to ask himself so Sid stepped forward. Believe it or not, guys are like that. I know some guys that are the same exact way. My heart is pounding against my chest. Natalie and Karen are just standing there with that look that says that I better not mess this up. Today was the best first day of work ever. Mainly because Jarry and Sid were here. I clock out and walk to my car. My legs are shaking because I am so nervous as to what he will say when he texts me. When I get home, mom must tell something happen by the smile that I have on my face. She didn't even ask, she just smiled back. I'm glad my parents stay out of my business, but of course, when I go out with a guy or when I bring a guy home, they will want to meet him and get to know him. Which that's what parents do. I have spent all night looking at my phone waiting for Jarry to either text or call. I do understand that he doesn't have a lot of time away from the rink. It's starting to get pretty late. I have work tomorrw. I take my phone charger and plug my phone into an outlet right by my bed. I lay down and pull the covers up to my neck. At that moment, my phone buzzed.
"Hey, sorry I didn't text you, I have been at the rink all night."
