Chapter 3

"So what brings you to D.C.?" his accent was so adorable but kind of hard to understand at times.

"I'm here working for my cousin hopefully saving up money for college. He actually lives in Arlington though, He just had a meeting and i wanted to explore. Bad idea." He smile at me walking at a very slow pace

"That pretty cool I actually live in Arlington except for the summer then i go back home."

"Really? where are you from?" I was so interested in what he had to say i have never met someone from outside the country

"I'm from Sweden and I always miss it when I come here."

"Well that explains the blond hair blue eyes and accent. Well Nick then what brings you to D.C.?"
He gave a quirky smile that made me laugh. It was cute.

"Whats so funny? Well Kate to answer your question my job also brings me to D.C." For the life of me I know I have seen him before but I just couldn't remember.

"What do you do?" I hope he would say something that would point to how i knew his face.

"I find it funny you have no clue who I am but I play hockey." That was it! I may not watch Hockey all the time but i do remember one of the best rookies last year.

"I do! I do it has been driving me crazy and I finally figured it out your Nicklas Backstrom and if its any use to you I totally thought you should have won the Calder trophy." He laughed at me

"Looks like you figured me out and thanks but Patrick Kane is a really good played I was surprised I was nominated." A guy that is not full of himself. that was new for me. Brian thought he was the best guy on this planet.

"Well here is the building I hope you find your cousin."

"Thank you so much for walking me it was really nice." I was hoping he would ask for my number because i didn't want to do it.

He said bye and started to walk away. I was disappointed. I opened the door to the building when I heard him call out.

"Wait a second. I don't normally do this but I don't no do you think I could um get your number?" a big sigh of relief I almost thought I did it out loud he was so shy about doing it too which made it more cute.

"Yeah but just to let you know my phone is dead right now so if you try to text me in the next 5 minutes which i know you will do I won't respond." He laughed and looked like he started to blush.

"Thanks I also wanted to ask if you wanted to come to our morning skate its right in Arlington and its free maybe we could do lunch after of something, if your not working."

"That would be great if you could just call me or something. I'm not a morning person I need help getting up."

"Yeah absolutely so i will see you there?"

"Yeah, goodnight and thanks again." I didn't realize I had the biggest dorkiest smile plastered on my face.

"Goodnight." I walked in to see Josh sitting in the lobby on his Phone.

"Where the hell have you been I have been calling you for 2 hours now!" He looked so worried and I felt so bad

"Josh I'm so sorry you were right I got lost and my Phone died around 5, I'm so sorry" He looked at me and I thought he was going to punch me in the face but instead gave me a big hug.

"I'm not mad at all I was just really worried you know your brothers will kill me if anything happens to you."

"I know, but guess who walked me back here because i was lost."

"Who may that be."

"Nicklas Backstrom." His mouth dropped almost to the floor.

"No way are your serious?!! I don't believe that."

"I gave him my number and he invited me to morning skate tomorrow morning."

"I hope you know your taking me!" I laughed

"Of course."
