Chapter 1
Aurora POV
This is such a fucken waste! I was outside in the freezing cold rain as it decided to rain down while I was waiting at the gates to get inside to watch a game. A game that my boyfriend asked me to come by to watch. While I really am not into sports myself, I’m more into books, art, video games, and my bed. Now call me lazy all you want but I really like to be laid back when I want to, that’s only when I had a very long day in classes or at work. Like right now, I could be in bed right now, reading a book. Not here standing in the rain while the line was long to get inside to watch the game. Luckily the line moves in fast and I was able to get my ticket then head inside where it’s dry and cold. Why does it have to be cold? I looked around the place, I saw some people that I already knew from college hanging out or just working for the night.
“Okay, what seat am I?” I looked down at my ticket and saw that I was set up in the very front row seats. “Great.” I mumbled.I went to the concession stand to get some snacks and drinks then headed down to my seat where I found right close to the ice ring as its shield with the walls and tamper glass so people could watch the game from without getting hurt. I let out a long sigh while leaning back in my seat. I have some popcorn, candy, and my soda pop.
“This game better be worth it.” I grumbled while shoving a handful of popcorn in my mouth.The place was starting to get packed with people, with two different teams shirts on. The Bulls and the Dragons Teeth. My boyfriend is on the Bulls team and he focuses on his hockey career and with his team as he was the team leader of the Bulls. Soon hockey players were getting on the ice doing their warm ups and skating around the ice. I watched them skate around as I noticed it’s the Dragons Teeth, and boy they look rough. Like play rough and probably fight if you piss them off. There was one that stood out the most of them though. He was taller and bulky. Can’t tell what his hair and looks by his gear and helmet but I can tell he has a beard and he has this girl attachment or more as a girl magnet vibe. How can I tell, he stopped and did a back stretch as a group of girls were screaming for his attention as he glanced over and did a small wave at them. I didn’t really fall for him, sure he is cute for what I can tell but I am loyal to my boyfriend and I always keep my loyalty strong.
“Gosh I wish I could have worn something warmer. That cold rain didn’t help.” I tug down the sleeves of my jacket while shoving some more popcorn in my mouth.Soon the lights start to flash and the Dragons Teeth team start going to their side of the ice as the head speaker starts announcing that the game is about to start. The music starts to blare as the Bulls start coming onto the ice skating around as the announcer starts saying the names of the number of the players of the teammates.
“Last but not least Mark Madson, number 19 the leader of the Bulls!” The announcer says over the speakers as everyone that was rooting for the Bulls cheer while I just clap and smile when I saw Mark skate in the middle of the ice rank.His jersey was red with the bull head on it and his last name on his back with his number underneath his number. Mark Madson, the man that stole my heart and we have been sweethearts since high school and still together since then. I cheer his name while smiling while he skates by. I have to say one thing, I do love men in uniforms especially in their hockey gear that makes them look more manly. That’s what I think and I never really told anyone about that thought because then they will think I am weird. I am weird and I am very proud of it, I am just surprised that Mark stayed with me for a long time.
“Let’s get the game started!” The announcer called out over the speakers.The game started as the Bulls got the puck as everyone was cheering and yelling while the game was going on. I tried to keep an eye on the puck but it was hard to track it. That’s one of the reasons I don’t like watching sports, it’s hard to keep an eye on the ball or pucks on where they are at. I shove some more popcorn in my mouth while watching Mark. Mark has the puck till that guy from the other team that was taller and bulky that his number was 17 and his last name is on his back and that is Willson. He came over like in full speed and knocked Mark off his feet hard that sent Mark flying backwards while he took the puck. My eyes widened in shock as I have never seen a human with that kind of strength to knock down another size man off their feet and fly backwards before landing on the ground hard. Something in me stirred and I don’t know what that feeling was, but it made my body tingle. He made a goal and the Dragons Teeth crowd cheered with excitement. He raised his fist in the air while yelling in victory while Mark slowly got off the ice with a piss off look.
“Oh shit.” I heard someone behind me. “Looks like there is going to be a fight.”
“Oh yeah!” Another one said.
“Go show him Mark!” A girl called out.It’s like Mark heard them as he skates over as did a hard swing at that guy that he blocked the hit as he punched back. They go back-and-forth before it turns into a full blown out fight. The referees came over to stop the fight while they put Mark in the timeout booth and the other guy in the other booth.
“Damn that is going to be up on the blog of sports of hockey!” Someone says.
“Yeah and the game just started. Usually Mark is on his cool side.”
“Maybe he didn’t get laid, you know how men are when they are not laid before their game days.” A girl said while some other giggled at her words that made me frown.
“Who is that number 17 guy anyway? I see he has a lot of women cheering for him.” Another girl asked.
“I think that’s Nick Willson, he is the leader of the Dragons Teeth hockey team. I heard he has quite a reputation with the ladies.” Someone says that caught all the girls’ attention.
“What kind of reputation are we talking about?” One of them asked.
“That he sleeps with all the girls that come to the games, doesn’t matter what side of the team you are rooting for. He will ask you for a couple of drinks then you will end up in bed with him.” The person says. “I heard from some of the ladies that he is good in bed, like real good. If you know what I mean.”The girls gasp and start gossiping and giggling at the thought of having good sex with the leader of the Dragons Teeth.
Nick Willson.
For the rest of the game the girls behind me keep talking about Nick Willson and see if one of them would get into his pants for the night. Mark got back into the game so did Nick and so far they are playing nice. Till the very end of the game, Mark got pissed again but this time not at the other team, his team. He starts yelling at them to get their heads in the game and play harder. Something is bothering him and I need to ask him after the game. Nick scored the last shot of the game and the Dragons Teeth won the game and people cheered and clapped. I swear I could hear all the women in the place scream out his name. Nick and his team gathered around on the ice doing their victory while Mark and his team skated off and headed off to the locker rooms. I gather my stuff and start to stand up till Nick skates by and our eyes locked with each other. Holy fuck damn. His eyes were clear blue almost like the view of the sky but more bluer. It’s like time froze as we looked at each other and his lips twitched as he did a small wave but I snapped out of it as I nodded to him and grabbed my empty bucket of popcorn and soda pop then headed off.
