Love on the ice (s.m. & c.c.)

Damn, you're sassy and I'm here for it (chapter 11)

Shawn POV

,,Come on, Aaliyah! You need to go to school!" My mom shouted as Aaliyah was coming down the stairs.

,,I know, mom." She said putting on her shoes and jacket.

,,Shawn, don't you need to go to school too?" My mom asked while she and dad were also putting on their shoes and jacket. They needed to go to their new job so Aaliyah and I had to go to school on our own. Aaliyah said that a classmate of hers lives next door, so she's gonna go with her to school and I don't need to bring her.

Before I could answer my mom, the door bell rang and I went to open the door. As I saw Camila, I immediately started smiling.

,,Hi!" She greeted.

,,Hi!" I greeted back and looked her deep into the eyes.

,,Shawn? Don't you wanna get ready?" My mom asked.

,,Yeah...sorry. Mila, come in." I said and Camila nodded and got in.

She stayed by the door and talked to Aaliyah while I put on my shoes and jacket.

,,Shawn, we've to go. See you later, son!" My dad said and exited the house with my mom and Aaliyah.

,,See you later." I said before they left and as I was ready, I looked at Camila who suddenly looked shy.

,,Are you okay?" I asked her and she nodded. ,,You sure?"

,,Yeah.. I was just thinking." She said.

,,About what?" I asked softly.

,,About....us.." She answered and I suddenly was starting to panic. Was she going to push me away? Is she going to tell me that this isn't going to work?

,,Mila...I- I'm sorry...you were probably not ready and I pushed and I'm sorry-" I tried to apologize, but she interrupted me with a kiss. I was surprised, but relieved. That meant she didn't have regrets about last night.

,,You didn't push. I kissed you too. I was just thinking about what we are." She said after she broke the kiss.

,,What do you want us to be?"

,,I don't know, but I know I like kissing you." She said and I let out a chuckle. ,,But we just got to know each other, but I wanna give this a shot." She continued.

,,I wanna give it a shot too." I said smiling.

,,But you have to know that I'm pretty busy...and I'll probably forget some stuff sometimes and I don't want you to think I don't have time for you, cause you're the only person by now with who I always had time to hang out. I really like you, Shawn."

,,I know you're busy. I saw this, but you've to promise me that if you ever need help you'll ask me. Never be afraid to ask." I told her and she smiled and said:

,,I promise."

,,Now...to make this official... Mila, do you wanna be my girlfriend?" I asked and her smile became wider.

,,Yes!" She said, I kissed her and she smiled against my lips.

,,I think it's time to go to school.." I said after we kissed and she nodded.

-----

A week and a half passed and Camila and I were still together. We haven't kissed in public by now, because we both agreed that we don't want everyone's attention. We told our families about us and they were happy. Aaliyah and Sofia jumped and screamed around as we told them. Camila's dad gave me the "don't break my daughter's heart or I'm gonna kill you" speech, but he was happy for Camila. He told me that hasn’t seen Camila as happy as she was now in a while.

Jacob and Lucas always gave me some looks, but I couldn't care less. Camila told me what Jacob did to her a few years ago and I was shocked.

They were fourteen and Jacob was her best friend, but she said that he suddenly started to touch her and made her uncomfortable. She said that one day he asked her out and she said no because she didn't want more from him, but he didn't accept that and started touching Camila. She said that she ran away before he could do anything to her and since then, he doesn't let Camila alone. I felt so angry as she told me, but I didn't do anything to Jacob until now.

It is Thursday and on Friday is gonna be my first game with my new team. Camila will have a competition on Saturday and I promised her I'm gonna be there and she promised me she is gonna be at my game.

My game was here in Woodstock, but I was so excited. Not like Camila. She wasn't excited or anything. She didn't really speak about the competition, but to be honest, I'm usually like that too. Competitions are for both of us pretty frequent things to do. The excitement goes away with the time and it gets replaced with the fear of failure...

I was on my way to the restaurant where Camila was working. She had a shift after school and I promised her I'd pick her up and we'd go together to the ice hall.

,,You ready?" I asked her as I entered the restaurant.

,,Yep. Just let me get my stuff." She said and entered the backroom.

As I was waiting for her, I saw that Lucas entered the restaurant. What the fuck was he doing there!? He stopped and stared at me like he was about to fight me. But let's be honest, he wouldn't have a chance against me.

Camila exited the backroom and as she saw him, she immediately took my hand and pulled me after her to get out of the restaurant. But Lucas had other plans. He put his hand on Camila's arm and made her stop. I immediately slapped his hand away.

,,Mila..." He said.

,,Don't call me like that! And don't talk to me!" Camila said serious.

,,But I'm sorry I hurt your feelings."

,,Liar. You are just sorry that you lost your toy. Now you have to find a new one." She said and we exited the restaurant. ,,That was so good! Did you see his face? That felt sooo good!" She said excited.

,,Damn, you're sassy and I'm here for it." I said and she started laughing.

We went to the ice hall and I looked at Camila while she had her training. After her training she stayed and watched me having my training.

The training seemed really short and after it, I went in the lockers room and changed.

,,Damn, Mendes. You are so fucking good!" Ryan said.

Ryan and I became really close in the last past days. He was probably the only one in the team that was talking to me. The rest were just giving me weird looks.

,,Thanks, man." I said smiling at him while I got dressed.

The others, again, just glared at me while I exited the room. As I exited the room, I saw Camila smiling widely at me.

,,You killed it." She said and put her hands around my torso to give me a hug.

,,Hopefully I'm gonna play like this tomorrow." I said kissing the top of her head.

,,I'm sure you are gonna be even better."

,,Shawn." A voice from behind said and as I broke away from Mila, I saw her dad coming in our direction. ,,Good job today! Wanna see this tomorrow too."

,,I'm gonna do my best."

,,That's what I wanted to hear. So...you wanna come over and have dinner with us?" Her dad asked and his question surprised me. I looked at Camila and she was looking excited.

,,Sure. I just have to text my mom."

,,Ah, don't worry. I'll text her." He said.

,,Okay."

,,Daddy! Did you ask?" Sofia came running toward us.

,,I asked." The coach said.
