Made in the USA

“Are you Anastasia?”
I looked up at the tall built security man and nodded. Mason looked up and raised an eyebrow as he took his last sip of his drink.
“Follow us”
I got up and got Mason’s hand.
“But the game” he mumbled as he looked at the ice where Jonathan Quick looked defeated because he had let a goal in.

“They lost Mase” I said.
He nodded and got up. He followed me as we were escorted out. I looked around the hall and took a deep breath. Never knew the Staples Center had this nauseating smell, or maybe I’m just nauseous.

“I am starving” Mason told me.
I laughed and nodded.
“I am too and I got a 6am wakeup call tomorrow” I said.

“Order some In and Out and head over to your place? I’m not talking with my dad” he said.
“Why?” he asked.
“Stupid Jason bought a bike and well they stole it. The idiot didn’t even have insurance on it so now he wants me to help him pay off the bike. I barely finished paying off my car” he said.

He looked at me and shook his head.

“I swear sometimes I think I’m not even my dad’s child” he said leaning on the wall.

I nodded and fixed his Quick Jersey.
“Don’t let him get to you” I said patting his shoulder.
“Jason is an idiot” he said.
I nodded and he turned his head.
“Uh you got a few people looking at you” he said.
“Well it is because you are wearing a kings jersey” I said.

He laughed and a blonde petite girl walked over to me.
“Hi” she said smiling at me.
“Hello” I said standing up straight.
“I’m Chaunette” she said.
I smiled and looked at her
“Nastia” I said.
She smiled and her eyes went wide.
“Andrew was right you are really pretty” she told me.
I raised an eyebrow and she laughed.
“I’m Andrew’s girlfriend” she said.
I nodded and shook her hand.
“And you are?”
“Invisible” Mason said nodding.

She smiled and nodded. She looked at me and I smiled.
“Mason, My best friend I brought him for his birthday” I said.
“Oh well happy birthday” she told him.
He smiled and nodded.
“Thanks” he said.
She smiled at him and looked at me.
“How old are you?” she asked.
“18” I said.
She nodded very lightly and bit her lip.
“Turns 19 next month” Mason said as he looked at his phone.
She smiled and nodded.
“Ok” she said.
“Well they are here” she said.

Jonathan noticed us and walked over to us.
“I see you aren’t wearing a jersey” he said.
“Yea sadly my nephew decided my Voynov Jersey was a no” I said.
He nodded and looked at Mason.
“Mason right”
Mason nodded and looked at me.
“We were going to go get something to eat and drink want to join us?” Jonathan asked.
I looked at him and gave him a small smile.

“Got work at 6am tomorrow” I said.
He nodded and turned around where I saw Brandon walking over.
“Oh well next time when you head to Chicago”

“Not legal” I said.

“I keep forgetting we are not in Canada” he said.
The captain smiled at me and got a hold of the door handle
“Bye Nastia” he said waving.
Brandon smiled and walked over to me.
“Good Game” I said.
“Not a sore loser?” he asked.

“It was close though” I said.
He nodded and I smiled.
“What are you doing right now?” he asked.
“Going home…well I’m grabbing something to eat then, well ill eat and then rub my feet and sleep for a 5am wake up” I said smiling up at him.

He made a face and I nodded.
“I know” I said.
“What time do you get out?” he asked.
“Noon” I said.
He smiled.

“Plane leaves at 5. Wanna meet up?” he asked.
“Sure” I said smiling.
He nodded and he leaned over and hugged me.
“You are sweaty but ill accept your hug” I said hugging him.
He laughed and I pulled away.
“Ill see you tomorrow then” I said.
He smiled and nodded.
“Will do” he said,
I stepped back and smiled.
“Bye” I said.
He laughed and nodded.
“Bye” he said.

Mason and I began walking away when I heard my name. I turned and Brandon smiled at me.
“Goodnight” he said as he walked into the locker room.
I smiled at him and followed Mason out.
“You would have murdered me if I called you by your full name” Mason said.
I smiled at him and he laughed.
“Girl you got it bad” he said as we walked towards his car.
