First Game Back
Geno’s POV
Today was the day. I will play my first game back since my injury and to say I was excited was an understatement. After the morning skate coach called me into his office to tell me I would be playing tonight. I hadn’t seen Roxy today so after the meeting I ran to tell her the good news.
I found her in the gym with Jordan working on his wrist. I walked right up to her grabbed her face in my hands and kissed her. After a few minutes I pulled away with a smile on my face.
“Well good morning to you too” she said as I rested my forehead against hers.
“Should I leave?” Jordan joked from beside us.
“No, I want to tell you I playing tonight” I said with a huge smile
“Oh my gosh! I told you!” she said then gave me another kiss.
“That’s great dude” Jordan said “but if you don’t mind I have a workout to finish”
“Ok, after done come over and make dinner remember?” I asked her
“Oh yeah, what time is the game?” she asked
“7:30” I said
“Okay I will go to the grocery on my way over and I expect to be eating at 3:30” she said going back to focus on Jordan.
“Ok see you there” I said leaning over and kissing her cheek “Love you” I whispered in her ear.
She sent me a smile and a wink, “I’ll see you later” and I was off to remind the guys that dinner was at my house today.
I walked into the locker room and found Sid “Dinner, my house 3:30” I said
“You cooking?” he asked with a scared look on his face
“No, Roxy cooking” I said and made my way over to the frenchy’s. “Hey, dinner my house 3:30” I said and they all gave me nods.
“See you there” Max said as I packed up my stuff and got ready to go home.
I got home and was too excited to sleep so I watched some TV, read a little, checked my email and wrote back to my parents telling them the good news. I had just sent he email when I heard the garage door open and bags being set on the counter top. Roxy was getting everything ready when I came into the kitchen.
“Need help?” I asked
“No thanks” she said and I knew she liked to cook by herself.
“Ok, be in living room” I said kissing her on the head and returning to the TV. By the time the guys had arrived the house smelled delicious and I was starting to get hungry.
Dinner was delicious and everyone praised Roxy on her cooking skills.
“Ok, need to nap” I said getting up from the table and putting my plate in the sink. I walked back into the dining room to see everyone else cleaning up and getting ready to leave.
“See you guys later” Roxy called from the open door. She shut the door and made her way to the kitchen to clean up.
“Come to bed” I said from the doorway.
“As soon as this is cleaned up I will join you” she said putting the leftovers into containers and putting them into the fridge. “Don’t wait up” she said as I laws walking up the stairs. It took a few minutes to calm down to actually fall asleep, but when I did I was down for the count. When my alarm went off I woke up to Roxy snuggled into my chest, how did I get so lucky? I kissed the top of her head and climbed out of bed to take a shower and get dressed. I walked back into my room to see her stretching and getting out of bed.
“Why didn’t you wake me?” she asked
“You looked cute” I said with a shrug
“Well I need to go home, change and pick up Sarah” she said making her way out of my room and down the stairs. I finished up and made my way downstairs to see her drinking a glass of water and watching some show. I wrapped my arms around her and kissed her neck.
“Are you nervous?” she whispered
“Little, more excited” I said
“Me too” she said “I have to go, I love you” and with a kiss she was off.

Roxy’s POV
I shouldn’t be this nervous, it’s not like I am the one playing tonight. We got into the box after stretching Flower and wishing everyone good luck. Geno pulled me aside and handed me his other game jersey. We exchanged I love you’s and kisses before leaving for warm-ups. My knee was bouncing and my heart was racing.
“You need to calm down” Sarah said and put her hand on my knee to stop it.
“Yeah what is wrong with you?” Jordan asked
“I am nervous for Geno” I said “and it is not just the girlfriend side of me, it is the trainer side of me not wanting to see him get hurt and have all his hard work go to waste”
“I see what you are saying” Jordan said
“It is going to be that same when you play your first game back” I said and he gave me a look “Ok not this bad but I will be worried for the first game”
The game started and I was on the edge of my seat. Every time someone came anywhere near him I would sit up straighter. I was watching Geno so much that I didn’t notice the goal by Duper until they wear all hugging on the ice. By the end of the first I was calming down, seeing him take a couple of hits and bumps made me feel better. We talked during the intermission and we learned more about Jordan and his brothers. Marc was playing tonight on the Rangers team.
“Do you want to meet him after the game?” he asked us
“Sure” I said and the boys took the ice again to start the second period. It went faster than the first because there were fewer penalties. Just under a minute to go in the period and Callahan tied it up, I said a silent prayer for Flower to keep strong and hold on for 20 more minutes. During the intermission Jordan had us rolling with stories about his childhood and some about the team before we got here.
“Next time you are pranking someone let me in on it” I said as the boys came back out for period three.
“Will do” he said and we watched the boys score two more goals in the third with an assist from Geno on one of them. I was so happy for him and I could see how happy he was from the box. Rangers were getting frustrated and throwing dirt hits left and right. With less than five minutes left in the game Boyle hit TK and he went into the boards hard. All three of us shot onto our feet and started yelling with the rest of the fans. TK was slow to get up and Boyle was sent to the box, seeing as there was little time left we decided to head down now. We got there to see TK go into the trainer’s office to get checked out. The game ended 3-1 and everyone was super excited.
“Let’s go to Diesel” Max yelled after the reporters left for the night.
“Hell yeah” Jordan said then pulled us out of the room and over to a tall red head who I assumed was Marc. They did a brotherly handshake/hug then introduced us.
“Marc this is Roxy and Sarah, this is Marc” he said and we exchanged handshakes and greetings.
“I have heard a lot about you” I said to him with a smile
“Well Jordan you have a pretty one here” he said looking between us and we busted out laughing
“It’s not like that Marc, she is the team’s physical therapist and dating someone else” he said
“Oh” he said blushing a little
“Its fine” I said “Jordy is like a brother to me” I said “I guess that makes you my brother too. That makes us one big family seeing as Sarah is my sister.”
“Yeah I guess so” he said with a laugh “Well I have to get to the bus, I will see you guys later” he said and walked off.
“He seems nice” Sarah said “Well we should go home to change for Diesel”
“Yeah, tell the guys we will meet you there” I said to Jordan and walking to the exit.
“Okay, see you there” he said before disappearing into the locker room.
***********************************
We walked into Diesel and found the guys in the VIP section.
I pretty much jumped into Geno’s lap and kissed him “Good game baby” I whispered in his ear.
“Thank you” he said back
We were sitting with the boys for a couple of minutes before the waitress asked for our drinks.
“I’ll have a white Russian” I said with a smirk
“I think you already have one of those” Kris said with a smile.
“Damn right I do” I said and gave Geno a kiss.
We drank and danced for a couple of hours before calling it a night. I lost Sarah a while ago but I found her talking with Sidney in a quiet corner. I went up to her and asked her if she could drive because I was going home with Geno for the night. She said she could and I handed her the keys before leaving. I grabbed the bag I packed from the car and we were off to his house. I was a little tipsy but not drunk. When we got there I said I had to go to the bathroom and changed into his jersey and nothing else. When I opened the door to his bathroom he had his back to me, when he turned around I think his eyes were going to pop out of his head.
“What do you think?” I asked with a small smile
“Fuck me” he whispered as he took in my body with a hungry stare.
“Oh I plan to” I said with a smirk and pushed him down on the bed.
