Filip’s POV- March 2014
I thanked the barista as he handed me my coffee. I took a sip of my coffee and let out a deep breath.

“You’re welcome”

I made my way over to a table and let out a deep breath. I was hiding from Calle again, but this time I decided to hide in plain sight. The front door jingled and I heard the barista let out a howl.

“God you’re the best Ems”

I pulled out my phone and looked to see if I had anything from Calle. I didn’t so I rubbed my face.

“You’re welcome, I told you I was planning on staying in all day you dimwit”

“You love me, you wouldn’t let me starve”

“Sadly, make me an iced coffee please?”

I looked up and my eyes widened when I saw it was the girl from the library. She was talking to the barista who was grinning as he made her the coffee. He handed it to her and she handed him a container with what looked to be food.

“Staying for my lunch?”

She sighed and smiled.

“Sure, thanks for the coffee”

I took the time to look at my phone and saw I had a text from Calle. It was a picture of him frowning…at the library.

“Hey!”

I glanced up and saw she was making her way over to me.

“Filip right?”

I nodded and she smiled.

“Are you hiding again?”

I smiled and sat up.

“Can you notice?” I asked her making her laugh.

“Not really”

She pointed at the chair across from me.

“Mind if I sit?”

“No not at all” I said.

She nodded and sat down. She took a sip of her coffee and smiled at me.

“We have the same drink. Max makes the best coffee here, don’t let Brianna make your coffee”

I laughed and nodded. The girl that worked here did not know how to make coffee.

“Yea he does” I said.

She nodded and smiled.

“He’s the best”

I nodded.

“Your boyfriend?” I asked.

She let out a laugh and shook her head.

“He’s my cousin”

I nodded slowly and glanced up at him. He looked nothing like her.

“Oh” I said.

She nodded and hummed as she took a sip of her coffee. My phone vibrated and I sighed when I saw it was Calle. Emma smiled and waved to someone outside, behind me. I groaned and turned to around to see Calle smirking at me. He walked into the café and grinned at me.

“You have me running around town”

Could he take a hint?

“And I see you here with a pretty girl. I’m Calle”

She shook his hand and smiled.

“Emma”

He looked at me.

“I want coffee and his coffee is great”

He left and Emma turned to me.

“You can still run”

I laughed and shook my head.

“I’m talking with a pretty girl” I said making her smile.

She nodded slowly and took a sip of her coffee.

“So did you finish your paper?” I asked.

“Yes, I got the first 4 pages done. 11 pages are due at the end of the semester so I think I’m doing great”

I nodded and I saw Calle making his way over with her cousin. They sat down and he looked at Emma.

“Why is it I didn’t hear that you met Filip Forsberg in the library? Sorry about that. I’m Max”

I shook his hand and sat back. She looked at him and blinked.

“He plays hockey”

She nodded and looked at me.

“Oh, Whoops”

I laughed as she shrugged.

“Sorry”

I shook my head and she looked at Calle.

“So you two play for Nashville then”

He nodded and looked at me.

“Yes, I got traded to Nashville”

She nodded.

“Where were you before?”

“Michigan”

She smiled.

“Detroit”

He nodded.

“The AHL though”

She nodded and looked at me.

“I got drafted by Washington” I told her.

Max then told her that I was a top prospect. She raised an eyebrow.

“And they traded you?”

I nodded and she smiled.

“Well I hope you’re liking Nashville”

I smiled.

“He is now”

Max began eating his lunch and I glanced at Emma who tugged on a hairband on her wrist. Her hands went up to her hair and I looked at Calle who was asking Max where they were from. They were from California, LA to be specific. I turned and laughed a bit when I saw Emma’s hair was now braided. She smiled at me as she tied the end of her braid.

“What?”

“You just braided that like nothing” I told her.

She smiled and shrugged.

“It’s easy”

She pushed some strands out of her face. Max looked at her.

“I’m out in an hour”

She looked at him and he pouted.

“Wait for me, you have the car”

She sighed and nodded. Calle nudged my leg and I frowned.

“We can keep you company. Wait I can’t but Filip here can”

She looked at me and smiled.

“Now I see why he hides from you”

Calle frowned.

“He doesn’t hide”

He huffed.

“He just likes playing hide and seek”

I laughed and shook my head. Emma nodded and Calle stood up.

“I’ll let you two be”

He waved at us and left. I blinked and looked at her.

“You’re welcome”

I smiled and took a sip of my coffee. Max looked at her and then at me.

“Well, I guess I have to go back to work. Hands to yourself”

I looked at her.

“So” I said making her smile.

“Where are you from?”

We began talking about our hometown and I learned she was the daughter of an engineer and a chef. She had 4 siblings, and she was the middle child. We agreed to meet up for coffee. Coffee meetups turned into dates, and soon I was in Sweden talking to a girl who was back in the states.
