Sophia's pov:
Two kisses in one day, I internally celebrate.
Just as I'm about to text Sabrina about my rosy cheeks being kissed the game begins and I want to place my full attention on him. When Ace comes on the ice I stand up and cheer, he seems to notice and winks at me. OH MY GOSH, did he just wink at me? My heart starts to melt.
The game starts off well. In the first period Ace manages to score a goal to which I jump with joy.
Now the second period is starting and I'm noticing something is off, a player on the other team is being rather aggressive doing things such as slamming the players into the tempered glass. I grow anxious after Ace has been slammed into it at least three times but as the captain I know he needs to keep his cool.
The rest of the game I'm no longer concentrated, I can't handle seeing Ace being hurt over and over again. I know he loves hockey and I love how passionate he is about it but I can't stand to see him getting injured constantly.
There's 5 minutes left in the game and I've calmed down a bit. Ace has the puck and he's about to score but that player slams into him and trips him with his hockey stick. Oh my god, what the hell. Fuck. Fuck. Is he ok? My eyes start to water, he's not getting up. A penalty is called and Ace is back up but he's clearly hurt. The game ended and our team won but all I can think of is him.
The stadium empties and he comes out with his team. I can't handle seeing him acting like he's okay. He walks over to me and grins, slinging his arm around me. The rest of his team has left and now it's just us. He seems to notice I'm upset and asks what's wrong. ''What's wrong? You're hurt, that's what's wrong'' tears start to flow down my cheeks. He looks at me, eyes filled with concern and leans down closer to my face. ''I'm sorry, I don't want you to be upset. I'm okay, really. These injuries will heal.'', I sniffled, still unable to form words. He sits in front of me and softly puts his hands on my cheeks wiping my tears away with his thumb, inching closer and closer until our lips are almost touching. I grow nervous. Please kiss me, is all I can think. I've wanted his plump lips on mine ever since I first met him. Just as I'm about to give up on that thought, he closes the gap and kisses me delicately, like he's scared I'll break. I kiss him back and never want this moment to end. It's even better than I had ever imagined. The only reason we break apart is because we both need air. He looks at me with love and asks ''is this okay?'' ''more than okay'' is all I'm able to say. We leave the arena, hand in hand.
''Wanna come over and watch a movie?''. I don't even hesitate for a second and quickly respond with ''I'd love nothing more''
At his place:
We decided on a comedy series and after a few episodes I started to feel really sleepy. I place the blanket over myself and snuggle into Ace. I feel secure in his warm embrace, he wraps his strong arms around my waist and pecks my lips.
30 minutes later I notice Ace is still awake, nuzzling into my petite figure. He doesn't seem to notice I'm awake as he whispers ''I'm starting to fall for you.'' as he caresses my back and plants a loving kiss on my forehead.
