QUINN'S POV

The Bar

We decided to go out to a bar close to the rink and celebrate our win. I had scored the winning goal so Elias was determined to get me drunk to celebrate. Petey, Boeser and I all took the same uber to the bar, listening to our designated win playlist. when we pulled up to the bar we got in straight away, thanks to being a famous NHL player for the Canucks. The music was loud and I was craving a song drink to calm my anxiety. 

I know I might seem like a cocky player on the ice, but in reality I'm one of the more shy and quiet players on the team. once some alcohol hits my system I become more "normal" and actually go up and talk to people I don't know, including girls. 

Petey and Boeser were some of my closest friends, and they always made it their goal to set me up with girls on a night out. I pretend to not have any game to make them happy, but in reality I know what I'm doing. I've never had any problems getting girls on my own but I like to be humble about it. Because of my job and social status I don't like to do relationships, I'll mostly just hookup and then never talk to them again as harsh as it seems, but it works for me.

We were all hanging out by our private booth when Boeser took the initiative to get more drinks for the group. We told him to grab a couple rounds of tequila and extra limes since petey had a weird lime addiction. After waiting for at least 15 minutes for Boeser to grab drinks I started to wonder where he went. I started to look around the room and when I looked towards the bar I finally saw him, and per usual he was flirting with some girl. But this wasn't just some girl, I recognised her but I didn't know from where. 

When he came back with our drinks I was surprised to see he came back alone and not with that smoking hot girl he was just talking to.

"Yo Boeser, who was that girl you were talking to" I asked him grabbing a shot of tequila. 

"You don't recognise her huggy?" he asked me. "She's the girl who did our interviews today, she literally interviewed you before the game".

"Oh shit" I said. That's where I recognised her from, I can't believe I forgot that. 

"She's hot right" boes said grabbing my shoulder, "I would set you guys up but I wanna keep this one for myself quinny".

I laughed at his remark and ignored him, this girl was not going to hookup with boeser and I was going to make sure of it. 

Elias and Quinns apartment

We got back to our apartment at around 1am, which was a pretty early time for us to be home at after a night out. We grabbed some pizza from the fridge and sat down on the couch with a Diet Coke to drink. Elias turned on modern family in the background and we ate our food, before going into our separate rooms to sleep.

My head was pounding from the tequila and loud music so I took a cold shower and an Advil, before getting into some sweats and laying in my bed. I turned off my lights and tried to sleep, but something was keeping me awake. I couldn't stop thinking about the girl from the bar tonight, maybe there was a way to find her without asking around. 

I went onto the Canucks website and looked under staff and media management thinking her name could possibly be on there. She mentioned her name when she introduced herself  after the interview but the tequila was making my brain all fuzzy. My mind suddenly clicked when I saw a name pop up on my screen, Alexandra Cohen. I went onto her instagram and searched her name up, surprised when I saw that she didn't follow me. Maybe it was the tequila talking, but my brain was telling me to follow her and send her a DM to get her attention, so I did it.
