"BABY I MADE THE TEAM." Matt screams down the line. I go silent for a minute before i congratulate him over and over again.

"Can i come over, i want to see you." I say and the line goes dead.

" yeah of course, ill pick you up and we will get in and out." He says, i smile and jump to my closet. I put on the biggest hoodie i can find and i put on my sliders to meet matt at the door.

" im so proud of you baby, im going to be there on the front bit, right pressed up against the glass." I laugh and he greets me with a kiss. I pull him in for a hug and he pulls out the driveway.

" im really exited, me and chris made the team together and its going to be great, his girlfriend is going to be there too." He cheers. We drive to in and out and park in a spot while we eat our joy.

" im going to dress up with the team colours, its white and blue right." I ask. He nods and places a hand on my thigh.

I sit and eat, i plan my outfit in my head and while we are driving back we are talking about how matt will smash his game soon.

" ill see you tomorrow, for your game." I say. I snatch a kiss and he pulls me closer to me. I kiss his forehead and he beams a smile up to me.

" ill pick you up tomorrow, chris will ride with mom and dad and nick." He says. I wave him out the driveway and he blows me a kiss.

The next day im tying a baby blue bow in my hair. I spread a little more blush to my cheeks and put on my blue converse, over my white dress.

" wish matt good luck from me." My mom shouts over the tv. I wave her off and head out to matts car in the drive way. A huge smile is set on his face when i sit down.

" you look amazing." Matt compliments me and gives me a kiss on the cheek. I give him a kiss back and we head to the hockey venu.

I separate with him while him and chris go into the changing rooms. I see Delilah, chris' girlfriend, and i head over. We all take a seat on the bleachers but we sit on the front row.

Soon after we sit down the crowd explodes and the team skate onto the ice. I lock eyes with matt and he blows a kiss before covering his face with his helmet.

At half time matts team is up 2 points. He comes skating to us and sets himself down on the front bleacher. I take him his bottle of water witch he gladly takes in a matter of seconds.

"Thank you." He pants, he's looking happy and everyone comes down, while chris takes time to regain his breath.

" you doing great." I say, he smiles and wraps his arms around me. I kiss the top off his head and he skates back on.

Just as the buzzer signals the end of the game he cheers when the game ends in their favour.

" we fucking did it." Chris cheers and throws his arms around matt. When they both come off the ice we all throw our arms around them both.

He lifts me slightly and i kiss his face, i feel his lips curve up and he cheers for all his other teammates. I love him. I love how happy he is. Im so proud of him!
