Chapter 9

"So what exactly do you want me to do?" Josh handed me a bag full of papers.

"Well these are promotion coupons, I gave you a list of stores I want you to stop by, hand these out to them, they are pretty much just a coupon for 3 free drinks if they come to my club tomorrow night." I wish I could go to bad I was only 19

"And this gets you business." he shook his head.

"Of course, people never turn down a free drink and by the time they have had those 3 they are a little buzzed and buy a lot more. Just don't get lost this time Kat."

"I won't." He gave me a look.

"I promise!"
I spent 4 hours driving around giving these coupons out, it was extremely boring and some creepy old guy tried to feel me up.

"And I left Denver for this." I said to myself In a horrible mood. My pocket started to vibrate. It was a text message.

"Hey having fun yet?" thank god, hopefully nick will cure my boredom.

"No, this is really boring and I'm cold, but the city is pretty."

"Well I'm glad you like it here, and I guess your Avs sweater isn't keeping you warm, could that be a sign." I liked how he always made me feel better.

"No because I'm not even wearing it! If I was I probably wouldn't be cold!"

"Ah man well you got me there, well I got to go I have this thing just wanted to see how you were doing, if you get off early again give me a call."

"Your game is tomorrow though don't you athletes need to do like a focus thing before game day?" I had no idea what I was talking about but it sounded good so I went with it.

"Don't worry about it, you won't bother me."

"Ok, I will call you when I'm done."

"Alright."
It was around 8 when I got back to the office when Josh stopped me.

"Hey so we are going to use your drawling for a couple of our posters can you just sign this paper giving us permission to use it.

"Yeah no problem, I wanted to talk to you too." we walked to his office.

"What is it Kat."

"So nick gave me tickets for tomorrow nights game and I was wondering if you could go, I mean I know its going to be a Saturday but is there any chance." He laughed and rolled his eyes

"Kat I am my own boss I make up my own hours and if you didn't invite me I would probably have to fire you." I was excited he could go the last game I had gone to was with Riley and Brandon and we went to the first game of the playoffs last year against the red wings it was a big disappointment. Hopefully this would be a bit funner.

"So you and Nick are spending a lot of time together." Josh said nudging my arm.

"Yeah I guess but I don't think I'm ready for a new boyfriend yet." Brian was still haunting me all the way from Denver.

"I think that's a good idea your a young girl move slow, well anyway your done so you can head home, by the way what time is the game tomorrow?"

"7:30 I'm thinking we can just leave at 7 and we will be fine."

"You definably can tell you haven't lived here long, traffic on a Saturday is hell we should probably leave at 6:30."

"Sounds good to me, I will see you at home." I walked to my car and called nick.

"Hey I'm leaving know do you still want me to come over." I was hoping he would say yes, I wanted to see him.

"Yeah just try not to yell in my speaker you might wake my neighbors up." I laughed

"Damn I must be a loud mouth."

"That's an understatement."

"Wow!! A hole much?!"

"I'm just kidding, I will see you in like 20 minutes."

"Okay see ya."
This time it took me about a half and hour because of Friday night traffic, I parked and walked over to the apartment building, Nick buzzed me in.

"Hey how was work." He gave me a hug and escorted me in.

"It was ok, I just have to remind myself why I'm doing this."

"stick with it your doing a good thing."

"Thanks." I took my jacket off and say down

"So were is your world famous spaghetti?" he smiled

"I just got home about 30 minutes ago."

"Really where were you?"

"Just filming a capitals special for the game tomorrow. It will play during the game."

"Oooh I can't wait to see that."

He laid down on the couch and I followed, I rested my head on his chest and we both fell asleep. It was about 5 in the morning when my phone started to ring.

"Whats that noise?" I got up trying to look for my phone.

"It's my phone I think it fell in the cushions, I'm sorry would you mind scooting over?" He moved over and I could tell he was extremely tired.

"Hello?"

"Kat were are you? I just got home from work and your car is not here." just getting home?! I guess he stays at the club the whole night.

"I'm sorry I went over Nicks and I fell asleep." It was silent "you there?"

"What happened to taking it slow?"

"I just fell asleep everything is ok."

"Alright I just hope you know what your doing."
we said goodbye and hung up. I sat up on the couch putting my feet on the floor and my hand on Nicks stomach.

"I'm going to go okay?"

"Now? its 5 in the morning.''

"I know Its just I want you to be able to be calm before your game and I don't want to bother you, plus Josh is a little worried."

"Alright, well let me get my shoes I will walk you down to your car." He walked into the other room to grab his sneakers.

"You don't have to do that."

"I know, but I want to."

He walked me down and opened my door for me. He gave me a kiss and rubbed my back.

"Be careful, can you call me when you get there."

"Yeah sure."
