It's Saturday. The game is tonight and I'm doing overtime. My shift ended a while ago but we got busy so I'm still here and it's 5:30pm.
Eden appears gesturing me that we have to go. After receiving the "okay" for me to leave from my manager I sit in the backseat of Atlas' car on the way to Prudential.
"Told you she was coming" Eden teases to Atlas.
"Leave me alone guys" I joke playfully rolling my eyes.
After parking, we head inside and Eden scans her tickets and we find the seats which were a row behind the players this time. I sit next to Eden with Atlas on her left.
The Devils are playing against the Anaheim Ducks tonight.
"Just so you guys know I did not eat within 5 hours and I'm starving" I mention as I get up.
Eden grabs my arm before I could leave "Wait Rory that food is shit expensive don't buy. I can call Dad to get us Chipotle" she mentions as I sit back down.
A little after 15 minutes someone comes up to us with Chipotle saying that it's from Uncle Conner and we thank them.
Due to hunger I could barely pay attention to the warm ups nor did I care. The only thing I had throughout the day was a drink that I made at work and some fries because we were packed.
I fucking love Chipotle
I finish my food in one sitting surprisingly before the National Anthem. They started calling the players for the first period and Jack is one of them.
"Rory it's your mans" Eden teases.
"Eden stop he's not"
He doesn't look around surprisingly and has his focus in the game. I notice how a bit tired he looks right now.
So far they're doing good and then Jack scores a goal. The siren goes off, he skates back to where the devils are sitting and that's when we make eye contact.
His blue eyes looking right at my brown eyes.
I smile and applaud as everyone around us cheers. He smiles and winks at me.
Fuck fuck fuck
I can't help but blush and Eden goes crazy knowing that he was interacting with me. Even though I have a black mask on, he knows it's me.
Thrill and excitement flow through and the cheers get louder for a while to celebrate Jack's goal. I'm really happy for him and he deserves the praise.
As you should Jack
The game continues with 14 minutes left for the first period and the other team scores a goal this time. Someone from the Ducks gets a penalty for something and the crowd starts booing at them.
"Wait what just happened?" I question as we all watched what went down but it looks so confusing.
"Dude cross checked Nate Bastian" Atlas explains.
"Yikes at least they're on power play" I say.
"That's true" Eden replies.
Blue eyes meet mine again and they light up looking through mine as he smiles at me. I'm pretty sure Eden and Atlas caught that but don't say anything.
"LET'S GO NICO" Eden cheers as one of the Devils players score another goal for the team and the siren goes off.
We all stand up and the entire arena goes crazy, except those wearing Ducks Jerseys.
Even Atlas cheers and I remember Jack telling me that Nico Hischier is their team captain. The Devils are on fire right now.
The first period later ends and the players start leaving. Jack and I make eye contact again and he smiles and I return it.
