NHL one shots (ON HOLD)

#5 Zach Parise

Zach's POV

I skated off the ice after the first period and walked towards the dressing room, we had a home game and we were playing the Dallas Stars.

The score was at the moment tied at zero and we really wanted this win. As we sat down in the dressing room coach Yeo gave us comments on the play and told us how he wanted us to play in the upcoming period.

"They're hungry for this win, but we can't let them take it. We have the advantage of a home crowd, use it! Take the game into your hands and make it yours." He told us all and we nodded, he was right, we needed to step in and take action.

We still had a while left before stepping out on the ice to play the second period, everyone was chatting or hydrating.

"Boo!" A voice from behind me sounded, I jumped a bit. To be honest I hated to be scared like that, as I turned around I saw my beautiful girlfriend Catarina stand there with a smug smile on her face.

"Got you!" She laughed and a few of the guys joined in, "You're such a kid." I laughed at her actions, I loved how she wasn't afraid to be the real her around the team. I adored it.

"But you know you love me." She poked my cheek giggling, her eyes sparkled with happiness in them, her hair fell down perfectly on her shoulders, her dimples were showing as she giggled. I truly love this girl.

"You know I love you. No matter what." I smiled and leaned down to peck her lips quickly, earning a few wolf whistles from the guys, "Shut up girls." I growled but chuckled under my breath.

"You're so adorable when you get embarrassed." She smiled as she took my hand in her tiny one.

"Adorable?" I asked her with a smirk, "Is this adorable?" I asked her as I pulled her into my chest and kissed her passionately and roughly.

She looked stunned and surprised when we pulled apart, "Alright, it's hot." She smiled at me.

"Parise! Mind getting a room next time you decide to shove your tounge down her throat like that?" Granlund laughed from his stall with Pominville trying to hide his laugh but failed, miserably.

"Maybe." I smiled as I snaked my left arm around Catarina and let it slide down to her butt, lightly grabbing it.

"Zach!" She squealed quietly, "What was that for?" She asked me, "For scaring me from behind." I told her with a slight smirk on my face.

She rolled her eyes, "Well I came down here to tell you that your game is great and that I need to run to the store down the street because I'm running out of woman products..." She put her tiny hand on my chest before she stepped up on her tiptoes to give me a kiss on the cheek.

"Nuh-uh." I smirked as she was walking towards the door, "Gimme a proper kiss." I pouted at her, "What's the magic word?" She asked me with a smug smile on her face.

"Please?" I begged her, causing the guys to laugh at me, "Good boy." She smiled as she leaned in, placing a sweet kiss on my lips.

"I love you." She told me as we pulled apart, "I love you too." I smiled at her and she walked out.

"Alright ladies, let's go kick some Dallas ass!" Coach Yeo walked in and the guys cheered before we made our way back onto the ice.

***

The second period was over, and we were down with a goal. The Stars scored in the later half of the period, causing us to get really frustrated. It had gone two periods and no goals.

I looked around but I didn't see Catarina anywhere, I got this feeling that something was badly wrong, but she was probably just running late and I was being paranoid.
