Chapter 7

"Why are you calling me right now?" I was a little aggravated

"I can just not call you if you going to be pissed every time I call you." He was right I'm sure he meant no harm

"I'm sorry how are you." I really didn't care to much I was still mad at the way he talked to me when I told him I was leaving.

"I'm good I just miss you a lot not just as a girlfriend but I miss my best friend too." I hope he didn't think we were still together

"Brian, honestly where do you think we stand right now, in our relationship?"

"I still consider you my girlfriend." Oh great now I'm a cheater

"I thought when I left that was it, we broke up." It was silent on the phone for a bit.

"You already found someone new, didn't you." I didn't know what to say

"Look Brian when..." He cut me off very abruptly

"Save it, your ridiculous I'm the best thing that has ever happened to you and your going to throw it away so quick. I can have any girl I want at a snap of my finger but I chose you. wow your a joke."

"Brian you talk to me like this and you wonder why." I couldn't even finish before he hung up on me
Should I feel bad? I didn't know what to feel, as a boyfriend he was horrible but I just lost my best friend, Someone I used to spend every day with. My childhood Friend.

I started to drive home, I was upset and in bad mood I wanted to get Brian off my mind so I pulled out my phone.

"Hey you ok, you just left?" Hearing Nicks voice shifted my mood.

"Yeah well when I left Brian called me." Once again silence on the other end, did I piss him off too?

"Oh."

"Look I'm not his girlfriend believe it I'm over him and when I tried to tell him that and he got mad and well, am I wrong?" I didn't know if he even cared and whether I should bother him with this.

"Can you answer me a question?" I hesitated to say yes, wondering what it would be.

"Yeah of course."

"How do you feel about me, where do you think this is going?" I knew where I wanted this to go but now i was wondering if he felt the same.

"I want to get to know you, I never had a guy treat me like you do, I have had and ass of a boyfriend for the last two years and I'm ready to move on from that, and I hope you would help me."

"If you remain honest with me about Brian and how you feel about him I think we can continue this, I really like you....a lot I just don't want to be blind sighted by this kid Brian.

"You won't I promise." I think he heard the hurt In my voice

"Don't even worry about what he has to say. This is your time not his and trust you gut feeling."

"Thanks.... I'm sorry i even bothered you about this that was stupid."

"Don't ever hesitate to call me when you need to talk."

"Ok, thank you i will see you tomorrow."

"Be safe see you tomorrow.

Nick had made me feel so much better and at least I knew how he felt about me now. As soon as i got home I plopped into bed and fell asleep.

I woke up to my phone ringing again. I picked it up and before I could even say anything Nicks voice filled my ears.

"Goodmorning sunshine! you a morning person yet?"

"Far from it." He laughed and it made me smile.

"Well I can defiantly tell your morning voice isn't sounding much better."

"Your just jealous because you wish you voice was as sexy as mine." I was lying his voice was way sexier then mine."

"That's it I always wish I sounded like troll in the morning."

"Shut up you like it!" I must say I don't mind this wake up call

"Yeah, yeah I do. You better get up or you are going to be late again."

I got ready It took me about an hour and I wanted to look good I made it a point to put my Joe Sakic Jersey on just to spite him. I laughed to myself a bit. When I got to the rink I sat right in the front row this time. Nick skated right over.

"You really do have enough of those to make me jealous. I'm getting you a Capitals jersey."

"Who says I'm going to wear it." I gave him a playful look.

"Me."

"Well ok but only for you. And if you get me that kids jersey, whats his name, Nicklas Backstrom I wont wear it I can't stand him."

"Oh really well why don't you tell me how you really feel." There was that quirky smile again I don't know how he does it but it is adorable. "I'm gonna get back do you have a little time after practice to hang out me and some of the boys are going to get food."

"Yeah I just have to leave at around 2:30." I was excited to meet everyone again and actually having a chance to talk to them without Josh asking a million questions.
I waited outside for him. I was leaning on his car checking my makeup in his mirror.

"You look great." I jumped

"You scared me. I just wanted to make sure my make up wasn't running." He gave me a hug and then kissed me. I guess I had a shocked look on my face because he looked at me funny.

"Whats that face for?"

"Sorry wow didn't no my face looked like that, I just wasn't expecting that caught me off guard."

"Sorry was I wrong." Were you wrong? were you wrong?!! hell no you can kiss me any day. But i didn't say that out loud.

"No not at all.

"Good." he smiled
he threw his stuff in the back and shouted over to someone who looked like Ovechkin.

"Meet you there?" It was defiantly Ovechkin with his heavy accent.

"Yeah If you get there first get a table for 10!" 10 wow I didn't know that many of them where coming.
we got into the car and he turned and looked at me.

"You nervous?"

"No, should I be." He rubbed my neck

"You sure should be." He laughed and then I became nervous.
