Will Our Love Survive? (Filip Forsberg fanfic)

Chapter Eight: LA

Alexis's POV
I woke up in someone's arms.
At first, I was really scared and thought I had gotten kidnapped.
But I relaxed when I saw who it was.
"Fil, why are you holding me bridal style?" I asked laughing. "Well, you wouldn't get up. So, Shea called me and said that I should carry you to the jet" He replied blushing. Awww, how cute. Wait what?!! "I'm so going to murder Shea when we get there" I said. Filip laughed and adjusted his grip on me so that I was perfectly secure.

(At the jet)

James's POV
"Where's Lexi?" I asked Shea, who had a smirk on his face. "Let's just say she got swept off her feet" He replied laughing. As soon as those words left this mouth, Filip came into the jet carrying Alexis in his arms bridal style.
She was fast asleep and had her head buried in his chest. Awww, I thought.
That's so cute. Filip's face was as red as a tomato as he gently set Alexis down on the seat near Shea.
"Stop looking at me like that" Filip said letting out a small laugh as he sat down next to her.
"Sorry, bad habit" I said trying not to laugh. He rolled his eyes and laid down beside Alexis, pulling her closer to him and wrapping an arm around her waist. "I'm going to take a nap now, good night guys" He said. And a few seconds later, Filip was fast asleep. He is so whipped, I thought smirking.

(in LA)

Shea's POV
"Hey lovebirds, wake up!" I said as I shook Filip and Alexis up. "Shea, stop doing that before I cut your ear off" Alexis said coldly. "Well, she told you" James said laughing. I held my hands up in mock surrender.

(At the hotel)

Alexis's POV
"I'm really nervous for the game tonight. The LA Kings are the Stanley Cup champions, I don't know if we'll beat them" Filip said fiddling with his fingers. "Fil, look at me" I said softly.
He slowly lifted up his head and lokked me straight in the eyes.
I never noticed how gorgeous his eyes were. They were really mesmerizing, and kinda looked like chocolate.
Ugh! Now is not the time!
"You and the rest of the team are going to do great. Remember, hockey is fun, it's your passion. So what if you lose? You can learn from it and try and improve. The Nashville Predators are very talented, and I know you can do it. Just believe in yourself. And even if you lose, hold your head up high and have the biggest smile on your face.
You will always be a winner, no matter what. Just go out there and have fun" I said smiling. "Thanks Alexis, you're such a great friend" Filip said shooting me a grateful smile. "Oh, I'll see you later Filip. I have to go meet someone for lunch" I said getting up and grabbing my purse. But before I left, I gave Filip a quick kiss on the cheek.
As I was walking towards the elevator, I kept touching my lips. They were tingling, and I didn't know why.

(Game time)

Pekka's POV
The atmosphere in the arena feels different, I thought as I stood in front of the net. Is it because we're going up against the LA Kings or is it because I feel like something good is going to happen?

Filip's POV
I sighed as I glanced up at the scoreboard. We were losing to the Kings 2-1, and I was getting worried.
What if we lose? Are the fans going to be disappointed in us? Suddenly, I felt a hand on my shoulder. It was Shea.
"Listen kid, no matter what happens in this arena, our fans will always be loyal to us and love us no matter what. Win or lose. Don't worry about it" He said reassuringly. I smiled gratefully at him and thought" He's right"

Alexis's POV
I couldn't help but feel very emotional after the LA Kings game. Why? Because the Preds beat them!
They beat the Stanely Cup Champions!! I felt tears forming in my eyes as they hugged each other with huge smiles on their faces. After the game, we decided to eat out in celebration of their big win.
Something happened in the locker room, by the way. Something that made me fall in love with Filip even more. He kissed me. Right on the lips.
It lasted for a whole fifty seconds, but who cares? Still one of the best I've ever had. I'll tell you all about how it went down tomorrow.
