We're enemies ~ Adam Banks

40: engagement

It was a year after we had graduated from college when Adam Banks got on one knee. But let's get the whole story about it in there shall we.

We had just moved into our 2 bedroom apartment in New York. It was quaint with a small kitchen and 1 bathroom but there was only the two of us so there was just enough room. College got a little rough for us with the hockey and the parties and separate classes and I will say we took a few breaks, saw some other people but somehow made it out on the end.

Adam: Savannah?!

I heard Adam yell from the kitchen as I was drawing out my first living room design ever. See Adam became a public defender and I went into design studies. I focused more on clothes realizing I had a sense for passion but I studied for interior design which is what I did more since it was much easier to build a future on.

Adam: come here please

He says so I shut my books and walk into the kitchen too see lit candles and champagne and glasses on the table.

You: what's all this?

I ask placing my glasses on the counter and take a seat on one of the bar chairs. 

Adam: we haven't been able too see each other as often so I decided to have some us time.

He says as he walks to where I was sat moving my hair from my face as he sat down next to me opening the champagne and pouring it into the glasses.

Adam: actually I have another reason for this.
You: what?

I ask with a slight laugh as this was quite enough. He grabbed my hand pulling me too my feet.

Adam: Savannah-

He lets out a deep breath as he drops down to one knee. He grabbed my one hand with one of his then with the other he grabbed something from his back pocket. I wiped away a tear that I felt falling from my cheek.

Adam: Savannah Sinclair. The girl I've loved since fifth grade. God I used to dream about this.

He says with a chuckle I laugh slightly before sniffling as he looks up into my eyes.

Adam: I love you. So so much. You were my first everything. I mean literally everything. Kiss, girlfriend, ex, fun time.

He says with a wink making me laugh.

Adam: and I was yours. It all started with a "we're enemies Banks that's all we'll ever be." Obviously thirteen you were very wrong. But all I know now is you were and are the best thing in my life. I can't even imagine what I would be without you. I'd probably still living with my parents for godsake and of that were true I probably would be long gone by now.

I hit his shoulder lightly at his joke.

Adam: what I'm saying is Savannah Sinclair will you marry me and make all my thirteen year old wet dreams come true.
You: Yes Adam Banks I will.

I say with a laugh at his wet dreams comment. He slides the ring on my finger before picking me up and spinning me in circles before kissing me.

Adam: I knew you were going to say said yes
You: stop quoting your fifteen year old self.
Adam: it's a day of memory Cmon I had game.
You: had
Adam: what? Not anymore?
You: you don't need it.
Adam: why not?
You: because you have a fiancé now.
Adam: damn I forgot about that.
You: it was five minutes ago!
Adam: oops

He says before running off as I chase him and once again it ends up in the bedroom if you know what I mean.

~skip 3 months~

The team had a 4 year reunion and like normal Gordon didn't show. He didn't answer any calls or letters nothing. Orion came though and everyone on the team made it. Some people were still on College like Julie, Kenny, Charlie.

Orion: so how's everyone?

There was many goods, alrights, greats. The whole package. It was a little bit awkward until we started talking about families and relationships and jobs. I knew most things since I tried to keep in contact with most people. But we all felt like a team again.

Charlie: k I have an idea.
All: what?
Charlie: how about we go rent out some skates and go to the old pond.
You: where are we gonna rent skates Charles.
Charlie: I know the place come on.

He stands up and we all follow getting into our own cars. Each person followed him to a rink it wasn't the one we used to skate at it looked newer. So we all walked in and Charlie rented out skates and sticks for all of us. Once we had arrived at the pond it looked exactly the same. Same old run down net, same terribly shovelled ice with way to many bumps. It was perfect, I felt thirteen again. We skated for a good 2 hours and we were all very rusty except for Adam, Charlie and Julie who played in college. Slowly everyone started to disperse and go home or too there hotels until it was just Adam and I.

Adam: just like old times.
You: hey mr college hockey I can still beat your ass.
Adam: oh really?
You: oh yes really.
Adam: try it.
You: you asked for it.

I grab the puck as he skates backwards.

You: Sinclair takes the puck from centre skates up to the sucky defence. Through his legs around the net to the crappy goalie and she shoots. She scores!

I yell raising my stick the air.

Adam: I am no sucky goalie.
You: sure believe what you want.
Adam; I'll show you.

He takes it from the net and skates up into the middle of the ice.

Adam: Banks takes the puck and skates up too the dumb defence. He skates wide with his amazing stick handling skills and-

He falls into the snow bank.

Adam: it's always the same dumbass spot.
You: yeah alright Spazway.
Adam: your dead!

He gets up and starts chasing me around the ice until we get to the net.

Adam: has this happened before?
You: once or twice.

I shrug and he shoves the net to the side then jumps on me making us both fall to the snow.

Adam: I love you
You: I love you more
Adam: impossible
You: nothing's impossible

He just smiles and plants his lips to mine. The same way he has since he was thirteen.

A/N

I might end the story soon but I have a few ideas on how I'm going to end it. So hopefully you've liked the story, it's been a long one.
