Emma’s POV- October 2014
I looked at the jersey Filip was offering me and I smiled at him.

“It’s like you want me to get murdered” I said making him smile at me.

“It would mean a lot if you wore it”

I nodded and looked up at him.

“I’ll try to score for you”

I laughed and shook my head.

“Just try your best” I told him.

He smiled and leaned down to kiss me.

“Gross”

I laughed and gave him a kiss. I pulled away to see Angie looking at us.

“Where’d you run off to?”

She smiled and hugged Filip. She pecked his cheek and he groaned when she saw her lip color.

“Oh quit whining, it’s lipstain not lipstick”

Filip nodded but still wiped his cheek making her laugh.

“Where’d you run off to?” I asked her.

“Jamie grabbed me”

I laughed and she smiled.

“I’m going to dinner with him after the game”

I nodded and she looked at the jersey.

“Aww he got you his jersey”

She lifted it up and looked at it.

“Put it on”

Filip smiled and nodded.

“Yea put it on”

I rolled my eyes and grabbed it. I handed her my purse and slipped it on.

“Damn Emma, you could pull off this yellow”

I laughed as she handed me the bag.

“Good?” I asked him.

He smiled and nodded.

“It looks great on you, you could play for the team”

I laughed.

“I mean she can, she does know how to skate”

Filip smiled.

“You do?”

I looked up at him as I nodded.

“Yea, I used to play rollerhockey” I said.

He smiled.

“Really?”

I hummed and nodded as he grinned.

“Well we will definitely be playing some roller hockey”

“She’s a defender”

He nodded and looked at me.

“Even better”

I laughed as he pulled me into a quick kiss.

“Alright, I need to head into the locker room. Good luck kiss?”

I smiled and pecked his lips. He deepened the kiss and Angie pretended to gag.

“Angie?”

I pulled away slowly and looked at Angie to see her looking at James Neal with no facial expression.

“James”

He nodded and smiled.

“What brings you to Nashville?”

Filip looked at me and decided to butt into the conversation.

“You know Ange?”

James looked at him and nodded.

“Yea, from when I played in Dallas. How do you know her?”

Filip signaled to me with his head.

“She’s my girlfriend’s cousin”

James looked at me and nodded.

“James”

I nodded and shook his outstretched hand.

“Emma” I said.

He nodded and smiled.

“So Angie is visiting you?”

I shook my head at him.

“I live here, I own and run Angeline’s restaurant”

James looked at her and smiled.

“Wow, congrats”

She nodded at him and crossed her arms.

“Thanks”

Filip looked at me and I shrugged lightly.

“Well, we must go to the dressing room”

James nodded and smiled at us.

“Nice seeing you Angie. Nice meeting you Emma”

I nodded at him and Filip gave Angie a squeeze. She gave him a smile and he pecked my lips as he passed by.

“Good luck” I told him.

They nodded and left. I looked at Angie who frowned a bit.

“When did he get traded?”

“During the draft” I said.

She looked at me.

“You could have warned me”

I shook my head.

“Nonsense, I think you really handled it well. Now let’s go watch a hockey game” I said as I head to the hall that led to the stands.

“You know a guy loves it when you wear his jersey?”

I looked at her and hummed.

“Really?” I asked.

She nodded and smiled.

“Yea, it’s like a turn on for them or something”

I laughed and she grinned.

“So how do you know James?” I asked her.

She let out a sigh.

“If we’re going to talk about that then I need a beer”

I nodded and we went to go get her a beer and some snacks for the game. When we came back they were on the ice for warm up. I sat down and gave Filip a smile as I ate a piece of pretzel.

“So” I said.

She let out a sigh as she took a sip of her beer.

“We used to sleep with each other”

I nodded and she shrugged lightly.

“James wasn’t a relationship kind of guy. I wanted one, and I kind of just you know kept the fucking going in hopes that he would change his mind”

“That sucks” I said.

She nodded and took a sip of beer.

“I’ll tell you the rest tonight”

I nodded.

“Filip is coming over” I told her.

She nodded and shrugged.

“I don’t mind”

I nodded and looked back at the ice.

“He’s cute”

I looked at her.

“59”

I looked back at the ice and saw Filip was actually standing next to him.

“I haven’t met him yet” I stated.

Filip offered me a smile and I waved at him. I turned back to Angie and saw she had googled him. Roman Josi, he was a Swiss hockey player.

“He’s younger than me, what a shame”

1990, she was born 1988.

“It’s not that bad of an age difference” I stated.

She looked at me and laughed.

“Filip is like a month younger, it’s not that bad. 2 years is in my book”

I looked at her.

“Your mom is two years older than your dad” I stated.

She frowned.

“Shut up”

I laughed and turned back to the ice.

“Excuse me”

Angie and I turned to see a girl looking right at me.

“Are you Emma Andrade?”

I looked at her and nodded.

“Yes I am” I said.

She smiled.

“I swim”

I smiled at her.

“Breaststroke, like you used to”

I glanced up to see her mom making her way over.

“Really?” I asked.

She nodded.

“I bet you’re great” I told her.

She shrugged a bit and I smiled.

“Well I have a little secret” I said.

Her eyes widened a bit as she nodded.

“Practice makes perfect and don’t let anyone tell you that you aren’t good” I said.

She smiled.

“Can you sign my notepad?”

She pulled out a small notepad that contained autographs from people she had met. I opened the book and looked at her.

“What’s your name sweetheart?” I asked.

“Carla”

I smiled.

“Really? That’s my mom’s name” I said as I popped open her sharpie.

I sighed it and added a little note of encouragement.

“And a picture?”

“Carla, she’s here to watch a game”

I laughed and shook my head at her.

“It’s not a problem” I said.

The little girl smiled as I pulled my arm over her shoulder and smile. Her mom took a picture and I smiled at her.

“Thank you so much!”

I nodded.

“It’s not a problem” I said.

I gave her a hug and her mom and her left.

“Well that was cute”

I looked at Angie and stuck my tongue out at her.

“Your boyfriend has this dorky smile on his face, it’s kind of adorable”

I laughed and shoved her as I looked at Filip. He laughed and began skating.

“What an adorable kid”

I rolled my eyes and stole a sip of her beer.

“Idiot” I told her.

She laughed and looked back at the ice.

“You love me”

I rolled my eyes and ate my pretzel. The Predators won 4-1. Filip claimed it was because I wore his jersey. I begged to differ.
