There was a lot of people around the locker rooms. We waited for some time and then made our way towards the King's locker room. There was a hallway between Predators' and King's locker rooms and I almost got lost while walking between all that people. I was watching around, not paying attention to where I was going, and was saying sorry to a guy who I just elbowed, when I hit something hard.
"I'm so sorry," I said, when I looked in the direction of the hit. And all my eyes met was a huge chest. As I looked up, my eyes met with beautiful blue ones. "No, no problem. Just watch where you're going next time," a Finnish accent said to me. "Oh my God! You're Pekka Rinne! You played great tonight!" I almost screamed.
He looked at me with what seemed to be a mixture of sadness and anger. "Well, unlucky that wasn't enough." He was blaming himself for losing the shootout. "No, you're wrong. You played great. You gave it your best shot. You did all you could. Don't you dare blame that on yourself Rinne!" He looked confused, but then smirked. "I like you. Should we go for a drink sometime?" I was shocked. Did he just..? I couldn't believe it.
"Yeah, that'd be.. Yeah.... When?" "Hmm how about tomorrow? 5 pm? I'll pick you up. Just tell me your number." We exchanged numbers and I happily continued my way towards King's locker room. This could be fun.
The locker room was crowded but emptied soon. The players took quick showers and were getting out of their gear. When I got in there was only a few players in the room the others were already dressed or in the showers. My eyes immediately met with Kopitar's. I made my way to him. "Hi," I said shyly.
"Hi," his deep voice answered. He was wearing his Under Armor shirt, leggings and cup. "Good game tonight, you played great." He smiled "Unluckily for Rinne, I did." Ouch. Looks like he didn't like Pekka. At all. "So...you wanted me to come here...why?"
He held his breath for a second and then answered "I saw you at the warmups tonight. You were just sitting there and I just couldn't look away. And the way you were looking at the ice... I knew you were something special. And that's why I wanted to meet you." Wow. That was.. Wow. "And?" "I don't know. How about we go out tonight? I know I should be with the guys, but they'll survive. So what do you think?" I blushed. "Sure.." "Ok. Let me just get out of the gear and take a shower ok? I'll meet you outside in 10."
