Lucy’s POV- April 2015
“How does your vaction time look like this summer?”

I looked at Mattias as I put my pencil down.

“Can you hand me my planner?” I asked him.

He reached for my purse and pulled out my planner. I opened it once he handed the planner to me. I hummed as I looked at my vacation time. I was free for a little over a month. I was free the weekend before the 4th of July weekend. I would be taking my exam to get licensed in June.

“You should come to Sweden for a week if you can”

I nodded slowly and looked at him.

“That sounds really nice” I admitted.

He smiled.

“Yea? My mom really wants to meet you”

“She does?” I asked.

He nodded.

“Of course, she wants to meet the girl who makes her son smile. Her words not mine”

I nodded and he smiled.

“You talk about me” I stated.

He chuckled.

“Of course I do, you’re my girlfriend”

I smiled at him and looked at Boba who was lightly tapping Mattias’ leg.

“So, what do you say?”

“Where would I leave Boba?” I asked him as he pet Boba.

“He could come, or if you want you can get someone to take him in for a bit”

I nodded slowly.

“I wouldn’t want to leave him with Bobbi” I said.

He laughed.

“Yea, that sounds terrifying”

I nodded and looked at Boba who stood up on Mattias’ leg. He hopped on the couch and nuzzled himself on Mattias’ arm. Mattias took the time to rub his belly. He only let some people rubbed his belly.

“You will go if you get someone to keep an eye on Boba then?”

I looked at him and nodded.

“Yea, I’ll go if I can get someone to take care of him” I said.

“You can ask Eric”

“Gabbi is allergic to cats” I told him.

He hummed and looked at Boba.

“Want to come to Sweden? You’d like it there”

Boba purred as Mattias rubbed his head.

“Yea man, you can come. I’m sure we can find you a nice female cat”

“Don’t pimp my cat out” I told him.

Mattias laughed and glanced at me.

“Come on Luce, your cat is a catch. Any cat who gets him to spend time with her is lucky”

I shook my head as Boba purred.

“Don’t say things like that to him. He takes them serious” I told Mattias.

Mattias laughed and looked at me.

“I know he does”

He smiled.

“I’d really like it if you came to Sweden for a bit. I know you have work, but I will miss you. The off season is long”

I smiled.

“I’ll miss you too. I want to go, it sounds wonderful actually. Let me get a cat sitter though” I told him.

He nodded.

“Or he could come with?”

I shook my head.

“He’s be disoriented and scared the whole flight” I told him.

Mattias nodded.

“How long will you be in Nashville?” I asked.

“Right now, if playoffs go well I could be here till June. If we get knocked out in this round or the next I could be going to represent Sweden at the World Championships”

I nodded slowly.

“I really don’t want to go that long without seeing you”

I smiled and nodded as I reached for his hand.

“We will figure it out. I’ll try to make it to Sweden for a week” I told him as I squeezed his hand.

He smiled.

“You’ve made the effort to spend time with my family. I should make the effort to get to know yours” I said.

“You’re the best”

I smiled.

“I try” I told him.

He leaned over and pecked my lips.

“How are you feeling about playoffs?” I asked.

He smiled.

“I want to throw up, but I’m excited”

I laughed and nodded.

“You should be fine” I told her.

He nodded slowly and he smiled.

“I love you”
