her devil

10

esmeray's alarm was what woke her up the next morning. she rolled out of bed and got dressed quickly so she had time to grab a tea before the team left.

she never did check out the email that was sent to her yesterday, but frankly, she didn't have time to.

no one was awake when esmeray left the apartment, so she left a note on the counter. she took her keys and left the apartment 20 minutes before she had to be at the airport.

esmeray went down to one of the cafes down the street and quickly ordered her tea.

new message from jack hughes
you up? plane leaves in 30.

esmeray rolled her eyes at how caring jack was. it was clear that he really wanted her to be there.

she grabbed her tea and left the cafe to get an uber to the airport. the drive wasn't long, and when she did arrive, only a handful of players were there.

"hey esmeray, i got a question." mackenzie blackwood said when she got out far enough for her to hear.

"sure, what's up?"

"my ankle had been bothering me a little bit, do you have anything to help like a medicine or an exercise?" blackwood asked.

"depends, how bad is the pain?" esmeray asked.

"on a scale from one-to-ten, probably a four." he answered.

"i would just ice it a couple times a day and keep it elevated whenever you're not skating. also take some advil or ibuprofen. if it still hurts come say something." esmeray replied.

"thanks." blackwood walked off to some of the other players and continued to talk to them.

"good morning." jack said as he came next to esmeray. she looked up and smiled.

"good morning. how's your shoulder?" she asked.

"better."

it was finally time to get on the plane, and esmeray ended up sitting in the back of the plane with other members of hospitality. she noticed that jack was near the front, and he didn't look so happy.

esmeray pulled out her laptop and went to go read the email she had received yesterday. she skimmed over it, but widen her eyes when she saw-

we want to offer you a $100,000 job here with the anahiem ducks.

that was way more money then she was earning here in new jersey, and she even considered taking it up just for the money.

but then she started thinking about all the players, and her coworkers. esmeray loved being with the devils, but she was really considering taking the new job.

after all, you're supposed to go for new things.

right?

jack didn't like sitting the front of the plane. he'd rather be sitting with esmeray, and he wanted to listen to all her little stories.

the plane ride wasn't long, and when they would get to the hotel, they had the rest of the evening off-which he wanted to spend with esmeray.

jack grabbed his phone and started to text his brothers.

jack sighed, his brothers not helping him at all. he was still going to ask esmeray out...eventually.
