*UPLOADED TWO CHAPTERS TODAY, THEY WERE JUST SITTING IN MY DRAFTS :)
STELLA
STELLA
Today is my first day at my internship, I'm nervous but also very excited to find out who everyone on the hockey team is, from a very young age I remember my dad watching hockey.
As I make my way into the arena I think about how I'm going to be doing my dream for the first time today. I've dreamed of this my entire life, it's finally happening.
Once I walk up to the receptionist desk I asked her where to go. The receptionist looks to be about my age, she is also short just like me. She has long golden blonde hair, pale skin, and blue eyes like the ocean.
As we walk to my office she tells me about herself. Her name is Rori, she's 21 years old, she's worked here since freshman year. Rori also tells me that the guys are nice, so they won't be in my way. She says they're also pranksters on her and the other staff members, it's good to know that they aren't old grumps like some people.
Once we get into my office Rori explains that this is a private office and I can walk into the small clinic from my office, she told me that I will see my patients for physicals tomorrow, so be prepared.
After I've settled into my office space I make my way to the arena, the boys should be having practice right now, so I've decided it'll be a good time to watch without being noticed.
I settle in the stands with my clipboard and computer in my lap. I immediately noticed a few of the players, all of them are very tall compared to me. I'm only 5'o tall, but these men are all atleast a foot taller than me.
Coach Alex walks up to me. He tells me a little about the team, how long he's been coaching, and a little about my job here in the arena. Then after practice he tells me to meet him with the team in the conference room.
. . .
I make my way to the conference rooms when I see him. My neighbor, my next door neighbor I heard sounds no one should ever hear from. His eyes meet mine. I can spot his hazel-green eyes anywhere. When he notices it's me he starts to smile.
BLAKE
Talk about a coincidence, I see my short beautiful neighbor in a navy-blue pair a scrubs with a clipboard. She doesn't say hello to me, nor does she make talk with the other players. She talks to coach for a couple of mintues and then turns to us clearing her throat.
"Hello guys, I'll be the nurse helping out while yours is out on maternity leave. My names, Estella Angelo, or you can call me Stella. I'm 22 years old, this is my last year in college, I've been a nursing assistant at the hospital for the last two, so I'd say I'm qualified enough to be your nurse. Your physicals are tomorrow at 9:00 am sharp so be here, I know it's a Saturday but it's the only time I have available at the moment, any questions for me?" She asks at last.
One of my teammates Duke raises his hand. "My first question is are you single? But my second is are you intimidated by use because you're short?" Blake asks
"To answer your first question yes, I'm single. But, no I'm not intimidated by you because I'm short. I hope you guys won't do anything or try to be rude to me, I also hope you guys won't use your height and body weight like pussies against me during an exam or anything else needed" Estella says.
Duke raises his hand again. "Dr Angelo, can I get your number?" He asks trying to use his "playboy" charm. For some reason I get this funny feeling in my chest, I don't like the idea of Duke hanging out with Estella.
"Duke is it?" She asks and he nods eagerly. I'm sorry Duke I just got out of a very serious relationship of almost three years, so I'm sorry but I'm looking to date right now" she sends him a smile. I feel like I can breathe after she answers his question with a no. But I am wondering who was this serious boyfriend?
Stella answers more of the team's questions, she explains again that we need to be here at 9:00 A.M on the dot or we have to get our physical somewhere else, by time the team starts to clear out I make mu way up to her to finally talk to her.
"Hi Estella, so it looks like you'll be working on the team" I say with a smile
"Yep" she says not even glancing at me.
"So I was wondering if maybe you want to go out sometime?" I say, I have no idea why I never go out on dates with girls, Estella just seems interesting.
"Blake, I don't think your girlfriend would like you asking me out. Plus I already said; I'm not looking for someone to date, I just got out of a relationship of almost 4 years, and that wasn't even four months ago. And even if I did I would still say no, you have a girlfriend, Blake" she tells me.
"First off, I don't have a girlfriend, the girl last night was a hook-up. Also I'm sorry about your relationship. I don't want anything romantic if you don't, we could just be friends or something you know?" I say hopeful to win her over on that one.
"Look the only thing I ever do is; stay at home and watch movies, I don't go to parties, I don't 'hook-up' for fun. I don't do any of that. So if you want to watch movies with me in my pajamas, no I don't want to hang out" She tells me looking up at me. I don't think I've ever "Netflix and chilled" with anyone but my teammates before, but hey if that's what she wants to do.
"Sure, come over tonight and we'll watch one of those chick-flicks, bring the popcorn I've got the snacks, see you around 7?" I don't even get her answer because I'm walking away.
