Made in the USA

Brandon’s POV
“Brandon how did you get her to come get you?” Shawzy asked me.
I rolled my eyes and fixed my jeans.

“I’m not that bad” I said.
I finished buttoning my shirt and I turned to look at him.
“Am I that bad?” I asked.

“Well no but you are incredibly shy. She gave you her number and we all thought you would chicken out and not even text her” Shawzy said as he sat on his bed and looked at me.
“Way to have faith in me” I said turning my back to him again.

“And she hasn’t even seen you without the ugly Mullet. She’s a keeper”

I rolled my eyes and looked at him.
“Don’t you have another place to be annoying at?” I asked.
“Not till 8”
I got my phone and it buzzed.
“Well she is outside” I said.
He smiled and gave me two thumbs up.
“Don’t ruin this!” he said.

“She’s going to Chicago man. This can easily go great and she will be your girlfriend”

I nodded and walked out. I looked around and a car honked. Hmm didn’t except her to drive that car.

“Nice car” I said.
“Thanks I won it” she said smiling at me.
I nodded and got into the car.
“How’d you win the car?” I asked.
She glanced at me.
“A Church raffle” she said.
I nodded.
“Cool” I said.
She smiled and put her blinker and turned right.
“So …we can go to the movies if you want?” she suggested.
I looked at her.

“The Hangover Part III came out” she said.
“Haven’t seen the other ones” I said.
She stopped the car on the red light and looked at me.
“Why?” she asked.
I shrugged and she smiled.
“Ok …Iron Man?” she asked.
“Sure” I said.
She nodded and turned right.
“You know this side of town real well” I commented.

She looked really pretty with her light blue jeans and sort of baseball Tee she had on. Her hair was up in a ponytail and from the looks of it; she had no make up on.

“The school I came to is around here. Not high school the CC” she said.
I nodded and she pulled into a theatre.
“Ok then. I doubt anyone will recognize you” she told me.
“Why?” I asked.
“Cause sadly this is not much of a hockey town. Most of the city is filled with a bunch of swag fags and people who can only name Jonathan Quick as a member of the Kings” she said rolling her eyes.
She parked her car and put it in parking as she glanced at me.
“How long have you been watching hockey?” I asked
“Since I was about 5 years” She said turning off her car.

She looked up at me and smiled.

“How’d you get in it?” I asked.
“My uncle loves Hockey. He used to play it in Ireland, but he chose to go to school and gave up that dream” she said.

We walked into the theatre and she asked for two tickets for Iron Man 3. I handed her my credit card. She looked at it and she did the unexpected. She swiped her card. She got the tickets and smiled at me.

“Now that’s not nice” I said.
She laughed.
“You can buy snacks” she said.
I couldn’t eat most of the food on there, so I nodded and looked at her.
“Right you can’t eat that” she said.
She looked at me and smiled.
“Oh well” she said shrugging.

She looked at the menu and then opened a fridge. She pulled out a red bottle and smiled at me.

“You can buy me my Vitamin Water” she said.

I laughed and took the bottle from her hand. I paid for it and we walked into the movies. For once since I joined the Blackhawks…I felt normal.
