Jack's POV:
Everyone was eager to eat the delicious-looking food my mom made for the first 3 minutes of dinner all you could hear were utensils clanking the plates. I almost forgot about Alex's smirk downstairs until my father spoke up.
"So, what did everyone do today?" He asked.
My father does this every dinner since he works during the day he loves to hear what everyone did and what he had missed, of course, this was the perfect time for Alex to start his 'plan'.
"Well, Mr. Hughes," he says "I for one hung out with all the guys at the house. So my day wasn't even that interesting just kinda odd, Jacky's on the other hand..." He dragged on.
Everyone turns their heads to me eager to hear about my spectacular day. This is going to be interesting.
"You didn't hang out with the guys today?" My dad asked
"Dude it was like your one day off since the DP started up again for the regular season" Quinn chirped in.
"Well, mom couldn't drive Lukey to practice this morning so Luke and I, new teammates' sister, brought him, so I offered to go with her. No biggie" I answered nonchalantly.
"Jack you can't even say that you spent the whole car ride and my whole practice staring at her. I don't think you looked at the drills we were doing once! And you went back to her house after god knows what you did there." Luke said eager to fill in my older brother and father what I did today.
I kicked him from under the table, my face was going red and Quinn and Alex howling with laughter weren't helping either. "Luke that's disgusting don't say that at the dinner table" my mom warned, "Plus Luke, your brother doesn't have the balls to make a move on a girl he really likes." My dad chipped in making Quinn and Alex laugh even more to the point they could barely breathe while. I just sat there turning redder and redder by the second.
My mother slapped my father on the back of the head for his comment. "But Jacky you were so cute and sweet with her today and I can already tell something will happen between the two of you sooner or later, mother's instinct I tell you."

It was now 7 am and the whole family was downstairs, well except for Luke he was however still getting ready for his game. My mom was making Luke's breakfast for when he came downstairs and my dad was drinking his coffee and reading the newspaper. We were all just talking about our predictions on how Luke's first game with the U16 NTDP was gonna go. Even if it only was an exhibition game since the season hasn't started yet. We were so focused on our prediction that Alex jumped in surprise when the doorbell rang. Alex was bringing his plate to the sink anyway so he offered to get it. We heard a high-pitched squeal which we all knew was Alex's and then a few minutes later he came back into the kitchen with Charlotte. I was going to get up but my mom quickly beat me to it. She went to hug Charlotte by saying good morning.
Charlotte's POV:
"Goodmorning Mrs. Hughes how are you? I asked
"I'm great sweety I'm very excited for the game!"
"Oh me too! My brother is like freaking out though" I giggled
"Luke too! he-" she got cut off by someone fake coughing to get her attention. "Oh right Charlotte I want to introduce you to my husband, Jim and my eldest son Quinn," She said smiling.
"Hi, I'm Charlotte," I said "My brothers are on the same team as Jack and Luke," I said politely. I saw Quinn smirk and Jim smacked him on the head and shook my hand it's very nice to meet you Charlotte if you'd like you can take a seat and have some breakfast."
"Thank you so much Mr.Hughes but I just ate and I was actually here to ask Jack if he wanted to go on a run with me and my brother before the game" I smiled at Jack. He smiled back while rolling his eyes "You didn't even say hi or good morning yet and you want me to go on a run!?" He said the word run as if it was some godforsaken name like Voldemort.
"My apologies, Hi, Goodmorning Jack do you want to go on a run with Noah and I?" I said finishing off with a toothy smile.
"Do I have to?" He asked whining
"Yes, so does Alex, coach's orders."
"Ughhhhh." Alex dropped his head to the table while groaning in annoyance.
Jack stood up getting a little closer to me "which coach?" he asked.
"Me!" I simply replied
I clapped my high becoming all energized again "Quick! The legs are what feed the wolf gentlemen!" I said, quoting Herb Brooks from my favourite movie, Miracle.
They both rolled their eyes and went upstairs to change into their running attire.
Quinn got up and put his hand on my shoulder and smiled "You are so fucking cool" he said. Making Jim, Ellen and I laugh. "We will be back in time for the boys to leave for the game," I said while leaving the kitchen to wait outside.
3rd person POV:
After Alex and Jack left the house Jim spoke up "I love her already" he said.
"Yeah she's perfect for Jack," Quinn said and Ellen just smiled agreeing with both statements.
