Beauty and the Beast

Beep. Beep. Beep.
“Turn it off.” Elle said turning around so she could burry her face in Milan’s chest as his alarm was going off. It’s been three weeks since the nightmare incident and after that Elle just started to sleep in Milan’s bed. Right now his alarm was going off and Elle didn’t want to get up.

“I have to go.” Milan said reaching over Elle to shut off his alarm. The Bruins had a game against the Leafs and then they would have a few days off. With the few days off mostly everyone was going to head over to Chara’s house just go hang out. Elle just groaned knowing that if Milan got up that she would have to get up later.

As Elle was taking her time getting up from the comfy bed Milan was cooking breakfast. Well he wasn’t really cooking breakfast he was just made cereal for the both of them before he had to leave. Elle finally got out of the bed and made her way to the dining area. Eating breakfast she didn’t realize how cold it was until now; when she went to sleep she was only wearing a tank top and sweats.

“So after the game Chara invited us to go to his house to stay the night, if you want to.” Milan said just asking Elle now. Even though he knew that he was going to have to ask her sooner or later he chose later. He just didn’t know how to say that Chara invited them and he was just scared. He didn’t want Elle to say ‘no’ and not meet all his teammates.

“Yea, I know Katy told me and I packed my bag already.” Elle said running off to her room to show her overnight packed bag that Katy helped picked out. Milan just shyly smiled and scratched the back of his neck it was a nervous habit of his. He knew that he should have told her earlier.

“Be ready now cause I’ll just pick you up so we can head straight there.” Milan said hoping that Elle would be up after the game. Usually she would be sleeping after the game but now she would have to stay up. Elle was planning to meet Milan outside so they could just leave without him getting out of the car.

“I’ll try my best; good luck.” Elle said reaching up to kiss Milan on the cheek. Whenever she did this to him he couldn’t help but be so happy whenever she did kiss him. Watching Milan leave Elle couldn’t help but feel sad now she had to sleep by herself for tonight. After Elle started to sleep with Milan he didn’t question it after a week went by and the two never talked about it. It sort of became routine for them to do that.

Today was Saturday Elle didn’t know what to do with herself. She didn’t want to read any more of the book, she didn’t feel like starting her new article or felt like hanging out with Katy. Elle figured that today was just going to be a lazy day today and not do anything. Turning on the T.V Elle sprawled out on the couch and just watched whatever was on all day.

At around noon Elle couldn’t find anything else to watch so she turned on Milan’s XBOX so she could watch some movies on Netflix. Scrolling down on the list of shows and movies to watch Elle stopped at Sixteen Candles. She thought that Jake Ryan was so cute in his plaid shirt at the dance. Plus he was just cute over all. This movie lasted her until it was only 2. Now she had about 5 more hours to kill until the game started on center ice.

Milan was excited for this game to be finished with so he could head back to Boston. After having a two game wins in a row the team was looking forward to continue with another win in Toronto. Everyone was looking for win especially since Phil Kessel was now playing for the Leafs. Sure they had no hard feelings for the guy but they of course wanted to win showing that they are still a good team.

One goal was scored in the first period by both the Bruins and the Leafs. Also in the first period Shawn Thornton and Jay Rosehill got major penalty minutes for fighting in the game. Nothing really happened in the third period for the Bruins besides that Milan got a penalty for hooking. The guys thank god for Timmy and the defense for being able to penalty kill during the second period. In the third period Campbell got a goal with an assist from Seguin. Of course when Elle saw that she went crazy.

Now that the game was tied up in the third the team needed to push in the overtime period where they just needed one goal. That one goal could end the game for the guys and let them get home. But no one scores in the overtime period causing the game to go to shootout. This is where the Bruins aren’t to good at since lately for shootout’s the guys haven’t been able to score. The only Bruin to score was Tyler Seguin and of course Elle also went crazy again.

“Seriously what are you guys doing out there? Do you not want to play the game or something?” Claude Julian went off at his team. He was mad that every time they would take a one goal lead the Leafs were able to score again. The defense wasn’t working well the shooters weren’t shooting, and it seemed like no one could score during the shoot out. “Come on, an 18 year old boy seems like he is the only one scoring the shoot out goals for us. We can’t let him take all 3 chances. We have a couple days off use it wisely.” He said before stepping out of the room and headed straight for the awaiting bus.

Milan didn’t know what to do besides to suck up what coach said knowing that there was truth behind the words. That’s why coach said it because if there was no truth behind the words then they wouldn’t have been said. The whole team loaded the airplane silent not knowing what to say. They were all deep in thought about the night’s lost. Everyone was scared to mention about how most of them were going to Chara’s house tonight so the guys kept it hush hush.

“Are you going to Chara’s house?” Milan asked Tyler as both of them were heading to their cars. Just so happened that they ended up parking next to each other. Milan knew that if Tyler came to Chara’s house then Elle would be comfortable. It was always the case when they went to team dinners she would sit with Tyler so she had someone to talk to. Milan noticed that if Tyler wasn’t around she would mostly just talk to Milan and hang with him but not like he was complaining about that part.

“Probably in the morning because I really don’t want to cook breakfast.” Tyler said as he waved Milan good bye and got in his car. Milan couldn’t help but remember the days when he was like that. A free meal and he was there ready to eat. No teenager wanted to make their own food because they were to lazy and just sucked at cooking.

So as Elle was drinking coffee that she made and as Milan was driving home a lot was happening back in Vancouver. Derek still couldn’t get over the fact that Elle had left him for a hunchback beast; Milan Lucic. He remembered hearing that Milan dated a girl named Brittney a girl from Vancouver. Since he was Derek of course he went in search of this girl named Brittney, how hard could it be to find the ex-girlfriend of Milan Lucic.

Much to Derek’s pleasure it was one of the easiest things he’s ever done. All he had to do was a google search and her named popped up. Now looking for this girl and becoming close to her might be a little more difficult for Derek but he was up for any challenge especially if he was going to be able to get Elle back. He wanted needed her back in the sake of him not getting cut off from his inheritance. He wanted every ounce he could get and right now Milan was standing in his way.

“Excuse me, are you Brittney?” Derek asked as he approached a girl who was sitting at a Tim Horton’s with her coffee. He wasn’t to sure if this was the girl from the pictures but it really looked like her.

“Yea, who’s asking?” The girl replied popping her gum obnoxiously at Derek. He restrained himself from rolling his eyes at this wannabe rich girl. Her hair was straight as the horizon and her makeup was almost like a raccoon.

“I’m Derek and I need your help. You see my ex-girlfriend is living with your ex-boyfriend and I want her back. Any ideas?” Derek asked taking a seat in front of Brittney. As soon as the words of ex-boyfriend her ears perked up. She knew that he was talking about Milan and she loved messing with him.

“Sure anything to mess with Milan, I’m in.” Brittney said getting excited to finally see her ex after a couple months. From what she heard he was still pretty much hung up on her so messing with him probably won’t be that hard.

Derek explained his plan to Brittney who just agreed along the way. For sure they both knew that Elle and Milan didn’t know what was going to come at them. But maybe what they didn’t count on was how both of them might be over their ex’s. Or at least Elle is.

“I’ll drive.” Elle said as she made her way to the car as Milan slowly followed behind her. He was tired from everything and was ready to fall asleep. Being a man he didn’t want Elle to drive a night in the snow even if he was still in the car because it wasn’t safe but he knew driving all tired wouldn’t be safe for them.

The whole drive there Elle just listened to Milan’s soft snores as he was asleep in the passenger seat. For some reason whenever Elle needed to think she would like to drive if she could. Not having a place in mind Elle could always drive but she always needed up in her favorite bookstore. Elle didn’t have a lot to think about besides about her relationship with Milan. She wasn’t sure where she wanted that to go right now.

All Elle knew was that she didn’t need a relationship right now but that didn’t mean she doesn’t want one. Elle decided that she was going to go with the flow of things and let everything happen on its own. Making her way down the windy roads always made Elle a little nervous but she knew that she was getting closer to Zdeno’s house since the little red dot got bigger from the GPS she was using.

Zdeno’s house was huge and covered in the falling snow that was almost getting hard to drive in thank god Elle and Milan made it before things could get worse. The whole front of the house was covered with cars and white snow covering them. Waking up Milan was a little difficult for Elle since once Milan fell asleep it was almost impossible for him to wake up again. Finally after like 5 minutes of Elle shoving Milan he woke up.

“Sorry this is the only room left.” Zdeno said opening up the door to reveal a room with a bed no bigger than a full size bed. The two were too tired to do anything about it so they just let it go and climbed into bed. The house was quiet and the only thing heard was the clock ticking in the room.

“Take off your suit, it feels weird.” Elle said pulling away from Milan which wasn’t that far since the bed was so small. Elle wasn’t even sure if Milan’s height could fit on this bed causing her to wonder why would Zdeno keep a bed this small in his house. He’s the tallest in the league and he has a super small bed in his house. Who is going to use this bed?

“Ugh, fine.” Milan groaned getting up from the bed and stripped from his suit. He crawled back into bed with open arms for Elle. It was cold outside and from the body heat and the warm blankets the two weren’t cold. As the two finally got to sleep in the wee hours of the morning it seemed as if the night didn’t last long. Soon Elle found herself getting up early from the laughter of kids.

The sun was out and the snow settled leaving outside look like a true winter wonderland. As players started to get up and make their way down to the kitchen where food was being cooked and the coffee mugs filled only two stayed in; Elle and Milan. Well it was Elle who was up and Milan who trapped in the room from his steel grasp. Then an idea popped into Elle’s head of how to wake up Milan. She rolled over to the point where she was straddling him.

“Milan, come on it’s time to wake up.” Elle mumbled into the crook of Milan’s neck a little closer to his ear so he could hear her. She felt him stir a bit under her and could feel his face start to smile. She knew that he was up and was now going to play fake and pretend to sleep. Slowly Elle slid off Milan but was stopped when Milan pulled her back onto the bed.

“How about we just stay here?” Milan asked as Elle was under him. He didn’t even know what time it was but he was tired.

“It’s snowing outside and I want to go oooouuuuttttt!” Elle pouted as she was trying to get out from under him. Elle really wanted to see the snow outside, even though she lived in Vancouver the snow wasn’t very fluffy like the movies. So she wanted to see white fluffy snow. Milan couldn’t help but laugh at how childish Elle was acting but let her go.

Downstairs everyone first saw Elle walk down in a tank top and a some PINK sweats that both didn’t match. All the boys looked at how fit Elle was, they never saw how much of a nice body she had because of the jersey drowned her. Elle didn’t even want to eat food but knew to be polite that she needed to take some food and eat it.

“Woe, Elle never you looked like that.” Katy said as she saw Elle looking over the food with a plate. Elle had the flat tummy with a little bit of her tank top resting on the top of her hips. Her boobs were even a big even though she was so skinny. Elle just nodded but felt a little self conscious now that everyone was looking at her.

“Yea be jealous Katy, I have a hot best friend.” Tyler said sitting down next to Elle doing the whole eyebrow thing to Katy. She just laughed at Tyler turning to her boyfriend to who was drinking coffee and reading the paper. Katy loved how smart her boyfriend looked right now reading the paper while drinking coffee. And she chose to ignore the fact that he was reading the comic section.

After Milan finally came down in clothes he was scarfing down some food. He was extremely tired and hungry so since he couldn’t go back to sleep he decided to eat. As he was eating Elle went upstairs to change into warmer clothes so she could go outside and play in the snow. Milan has never seen someone so excited from Canada to go see snow. Usually when the snow came the only thing on Canadians mind was pond hockey but Elle didn’t play so she settled for the snow.

“Everything looks so much prettier in the snow.” Elle told Milan as they both stood outside watching the kids play in the snow. Most of the guys were playing with their kids in the snow which was really cute. As the two walked around in the snow avoiding the sleds full of kids coming their way the two found soon found themselves away from everyone. Elle was sitting on the swing set that was in the back as Milan stood in front of her.

It got quiet between the two so Milan took a leap of faith. As he leaned in to kiss Elle; BAM they were hit by a snowball ruining the moment.
