Peewee Hockey

“Locker room passes?” Jason gasped as he examined the chain around his neck. I groaned a bit as I led him up the stairs and to our seats. We grabbed a snack along the way and then took a seat. Of course they were positioned right behind the Oilers bench.

“These are the best seats ever!” Jason gasped and looked around in awe. I had to admit, they were amazing seats. And I loved seeing how excited my little brother was.

The team walked out for warm-ups and Jordan immediately caught my eye. I saw him scanning the crowd above the bench and his face lit up when his eyes met mine. A big smile formed on his face and I couldn’t help but give him a smile back.

I slumped back in my seat and Jason started waving like a maniac. Jordan laughed from the ice and waved back before skating around.
The Oilers ended up winning 3-2 over the Canucks and afterwards Jason grabbed my hand and dragged me down to the locker room. We waited outside and soon we were escorted in. it smelled horrible and I couldn’t help but cover my nose with my hand.

“Hey!” Jordan quickly came up.

“It stinks” I groan and shake my head.

“Yeah, I know. We can meet outside if you want” he suggested with a laugh.

I quickly nod and burst through the door, gasping for fresh air. I groaned and leaned against the wall as Jason waited anxiously. Jordan was out within a few minutes and Jason rushed over.

“That was awesome! Those seats were so close and I’ve never seen a game that close!” he rambled excitedly.

“You liked it? I’m glad, buddy” Jordan smiled widely. A couple more guys from the team walked out and Jason rushed over to them.

Jordan smiled and made his way over to me.

“So did you have fun?” he asked hopefully.

I shrugged. “Jason had fun and that’s all that really matters” I said glancing over to him.

“You take care of him? He’s a great kid” Jordan admired.

“My parents both work full time and they have a lot of business trips so I’m sorta stuck with him” I quietly admit.

“Well I can tell how much you love him” he said softly. I blushed a little but I couldn’t help but smile. “I’m really not a bad guy” he whispered.

I paused a moment. “I know that” I quietly admitted.

“Then why don’t you give me a chance? Whens the next time your parents will be home so I can take you out?” Jordan asked hopefully.

I sighed a bit. “They’ll be home this weekend” I said quietly.

“So can I take you out? I promise you won’t regret it! And if you do and you have a horrible time then I’ll leave you alone for good!” he said quickly.

I giggled a little. “Okay, deal” I smiled a bit.

“You’re not going to purposely have a horrible time so I leave you alone for good, are you?” Jordan groaned.

“Maybe, maybe not” I smirked a bit and winked playfully. What the heck am I doing? Am I really flirting with him again?

Jordan smiled widely. “I hope not” he chuckled and shook his head. I smiled at him and after Jason harassed the rest of the players that walked out, we finally left.

Jason fell right asleep as soon as he laid down and I took a quick shower before heading to bed. I checked my phone, as usual and saw a new text.

“It was great seeing you tonight. Thanks for coming. Goodnight, Megan. I can’t wait to see you this weekend” it read… From Jordan.

I felt a blush rising to my cheeks. I’ve never gotten a goodnight text from a guy before. And never anything that sweet. I set my phone down and that’s all I can think about as I try to fall asleep.

The next few days pass and I’m still on cloud nine over the text Jordan sent, and I hate to admit it, but I’m actually excited for this date.

I get dressed in my tighter black dress that resides halfway up my thigh and shows off a little bit of my cleavage. Not too much to make the outfit trashy, but enough to catch his eye. I curl my hair and put some black eyeliner on along with a smoky eye look. I put on my big, (fake) diamond earrings before slipping into my red pumps.

“This is as good as it’s going to get” I mumbled under my breath before grabbing my clutch. As I made my way out of my room, I sprayed on some perfume and then the doorbell rand. I hear Jason’s quick little footsteps and I made my way downstairs.

Jordan was standing there talking to Jason and when he saw me, his eyes widened.

“Holy crap.” Was all he said.

“What? Am I overdressed? Do I look bad?” I quickly blurted and turned bright red with nervousness.

“N-no! No! You look absolutely stunning” he smiled widely.

“Really?” I whispered with a slight gasp. Jordan quickly nodded and reached for my hand which I let him take.

“I’ll see you later, bud” he smiled and waved to Jason before leading me out to his car. The ride there was filled with some awkward small talk. He pulled up to the fanciest restaurant in town and I couldn’t help but start to feel self-conscious. I’m not a fancy restaurant type of girl. I’d rather just go to McDonalds and sit in a car and eat it.

We both stepped out and Jordan gently laced his fingers with mine as he lead me in. we were seating in a more secluded area, I supposed Jordan requested it so we would be left alone.

We ordered some drinks and when the waitress came back, we both told her what we would have for dinner.

“So tell me about yourself” Jordan egged on.

I groaned. I hate this question. “Well.. Um I’m going to university for accounting, I work at a local diner during the day and after that I usually have to watch my brother. I don’t really do much other than that” I laughed softly.

Jordan chuckled. “So pretty much your life is on hold because you have to watch your brother?” he asked.

I shrugged a bit. “I never really thought of it like that” I quietly admit.

“I didn’t mean it in a bad way. It’s really great what you’re doing” he said quickly.

I nodded and gave him a reassuring smile.

“What about you?” I asked curiously and took a sip of my drink.

“Well, there’s not much to know” he chuckled. “I moved here from Regina last year, I have two sisters and a brother. I’ve been playing hockey all my life and other than that I’m pretty boring” he chuckled and shrugged. I smiled at that.

“Are you close with your siblings?” I asked. He quickly nodded.

“I let them come visit me at least once a month. I love seeing them” he smiled widely.

The rest of dinner was spent with questions regarding our personal lives and I found myself getting stronger feelings for him than I had before. He paid for dinner and held my hand again as we walked out to his car. I went to get in but he grabbed my hand and pulled me to his chest. I gasped slightly as I looked up to him and his lips met mine. My eyes instantly closed and leaned into his kiss.

I set my hand on his neck and he leaned down closer, his tongue tracing my bottom lip. I allowed him access and things escalated into a full quickly pulled away and looked up into his eyes.

“We should probably go to your apartment” I whispered breathlessly. Jordan quickly nodded and we both got into his car again.

What happened next was completely out of my character… But I can’t say that I regret it.
