Chapter 2: Rock The Red!
Chapter 2: Rock the Red
Walking out of the café I couldn’t help but look back at Andre. I was in a daze as I walked down the street and towards the bus stop. I just couldn’t shake the feeling I got, as I thought of how simple words sounded sexier when you say them in an accent. It had me so mesmerized that I could listen to him talk all day.
I couldn’t help but be a little shocked that someone that attractive was interested in me.
It’s hard not to be a little self-conscious because of all the expectations that are placed on girls, especially with social media. It had been difficult but after losing a little bit of weight I was now confident in my own skin. I was proud of my 5’6 frame with curves.
What I couldn’t wrap my head around was that Andre was a hockey player and he could have any girl he wanted but he was interested in me.
As soon as the bus arrived a found a seat quickly and pulled out my phone and messaged the girls letting them know that we were going to the game tonight.
Hails: I ran into Andre at the café… he is a hockey player.
Britt: haha you always had a thing for wanting to date a hockey player.
Izzie: Hails you guys looked so cute together...
The next text Izzie sent was a photo of you and Andre sitting at the table drinking coffee.
Britt: Ooohh I’m going to Google him right now.
Britt: Omg he’s Swedish… that’s why he is so hot!
Britt: And he is exactly a month older than Hails.
Katie: OMG
Hails: We may have also made a bet….
Katie: wow you guys both must be competitive. What did you guys bet?
Hails: That if he scores tonight we go on a date.
Britt: that’s a win/win situation for the both of you.
Izzie: I really hope he scores on and off the ice…. Hehehe
Hails: OMG
Hails: on a serious note I’m freaking out… what should I wear tonight?
Britt: Don’t worry we will figure it out… you are going to look HOT!!!
Looking up from my phone I saw that school was in sight so I hopped off the bus and headed towards my classroom.
The day seemed to go by slowly even though I was engaged with the children throughout the day. I couldn’t help but be nervous and a little bit anxious about tonight. What if you scored then regretted making the bet with me. I couldn’t shake the feeling of the pressure to be perfect tonight. At 3:45 the bell rang signaling the end of the school day. On the walk home I received a text from a number that wasn’t on my phone. Opening the text I read:
Hello beautiful it’s Andre, Izzie gave me your number. I left the tickets at will call under your name. See you tonight.
I smiled as I read the message and quickly typed back a response.
Hails: Thank you, Andre… good luck tonight.
Walking into the apartment it looked like a tornado tore our living room apart. There were clothes, shoes, purses, and jackets all over the couches and chairs.
“What is going on here? It looks like a tornado went off in here” I exclaimed as I tried to make my way safely into the disaster zone.
Brittney’s head popped out from her doorframe “helping you find the perfect outfit for your date!”
Nodding my head, I searched for a space on the floor that was not occupied by clothes and sat down.
“You need to wear this” was all I heard as Katie came running into the room with a black deep V tank top bodysuit.
As soon as I saw the shirt in her hand I knew that it was the shirt I need to wear tonight.
“Oooooh that shirt will look amazing with her red blazer and black boot wedges” Brittney added as she tossed me my jacket from the pile beside her. “That way she can rock the red tonight” added Katie as she started to chuckle.
Nodding my head I rolled my eyes. Looking down at the piles of shoes I started my search for my black boot wedges from the pile of shoes in front of the television stand.
“With these light blue skinny jeans” added Izzie as she threw a pair of her jeans at my head.
Before I knew it I had my outfit already planned and ready to try on. Once in the outfit, I turned around and looked into the mirror. I had to admit that I looked good and I couldn’t help but imagine Andre’s reaction to seeing me tonight.
Laughing to myself I started strutting out of my room and into the living room for a little fashion show. Once in the room, I gave the girls a twirl showing off the outfit. I couldn’t help but laugh as they whistled at me and shouted compliments at me.
Brittney started curling by light brown and blonde hair long hair into loose beach wave curls. As Brittney was doing my hair Izzie started putting my eyeshadow on. She picked my Tarte eyeshadow palette because it had some nice shades of brown and gold’s that way my hazel eyes would pop. Next, she grabbed my better than sex mascara from my make up bag and my Sephora lip stain. Once they were both done with my hair and makeup Brittney handed me a mirror so that I could look at my reflection. I couldn’t help but be shocked at how good both my hair and makeup turned out. I couldn’t help but be thankful that the hair and makeup gods were looking out for me. Today was not a good time to have a bad hair and makeup day
Since we still had a little time to kill before we needed to start heading over to the arena we decided that we would cook some food. Katie cooked as Brittney, Izzie and I danced around the kitchen listening to Taylor Swift as we sipped from our wine glasses. After eating some homemade pizza we grabbed our purses and started walking towards the capital one arena.
Once at the arena we headed towards will call to pick up the tickets Andre had left for me. Once at the will call window I handed the lady my id so that she could get me my tickets. The older lady smiled at me as she handed me an envelope with the tickets saying, “enjoy the game girls.” I smiled back at the lady before I turned away from the booth with the tickets securely in my hands.
Once out of the way of the other fans waiting to pick up their tickets I started opening the envelope so that I could give the girls their seat. As I pulled the tickets out of the envelope a sticky note fell out. Bending down I quickly picked up the note and discovered it was from Andre. I handed the girls the tickets as I read the note:
Hailey,
God, you’re beautiful. I’ve been lucky the last couple of days lets hope my luck doesn’t run out. I’m looking forward to our date.
Andre
“Omg, you’re blushing” Katie stated as I looked up from the note. I quickly handed the girls the note so they could see why I was blushing.
“Awe I’m so happy for you, you really deserve everything that is happening to you ” Izzie whispered in my ear as she gave me a sideways hug.
I grabbed my ticket from Britt’s hand and headed into the arena. Once through security, we headed to our section 116. As we walked down the stairs towards our seats I noticed how close we were to the ice. We were four rows up from the capitals goaltender net. Wow, he must have been trying to impress me.
Not long after sitting down the players came out on the ice to start their warm up. As soon as Andre stepped onto the ice our eyes met like magnets pulling them together. I couldn’t keep my eyes off of him as he skated around with his teammates shooting on Holtby. After a couple of shots on net Andre looked at me and smirked as he started stretching right in front of us.
“Hehehe, he is so flirting with you right now” Katie whispered to me sending a wink my way.
I couldn’t help but blush thinking about the butterfly’s Andre ignites in my stomach.
Soon the warm-up was done and the boys headed to the locker rooms so that the Zamboni could clean the ice for the first period. 10 minutes later the officials and the players skated onto the ice for the singing of the national anthem. After the anthems were completed the puck dropped signaling the start of the first period.
During the first period, Andre had lots of shots on goal but had not been able to score. The buzzard sounded signaling the end of the first period. We quickly stood up from our seats so that we could use the restrooms and grab some food before the start of the second period.
Soon the buzzard sounded signaling the start of the second period. This period the capitals were shooting our way. Two minutes into the second period Andre’s line hopped over the boards and onto the ice. Once on the ice, Andre quickly received a pass at the blue line from his teammate and started skating towards the net skating around a couple other players and shooting at the net. Seconds later the goal horn sounds, and Andre skated towards where we were sitting.
I jumped up out of my seat and started celebrating with the girls and other capitals fans. Looking towards the ice to watch Andre celebrate I noticed that he pointed in my direction as he celebrated with his teammates. I could hear the girls beside me awe quietly as a small blush flushed over my cheeks. I couldn’t help but feel relieved that he had scored, I was really hoping that he would score because of the feelings I was already starting to feel when I am with him.
