Hustle and Heart

Ch.25

*Bree's POV*
Our dinner reservations were at 7 and Carey told me that this restaurant was a little more fancy then others.
On that note, I pulled out a burgundy dress and some black heels. I curled my hair and French braided my bangs. (Outfit above). I grabbed my black Michael Kors bag and made my way downstairs. I waited for Carey to get back with the dogs, while sitting in the living room. I texted my friend Tori, whose husband is Victor Hedman. They had just gotten back from a trip in Sweden and she was showing me a ton of beautiful pictures. We talked for a little while longer, up until Carey got back.

"Well are you ready to go beautiful?" Carey asked me while walking into the living room. I glanced over to the clock which read 6:45 and nodded my head.

"Yea." I said while getting up.

"By the way you look beautiful." Carey said while whispering in my ear.

"Thank you so much handsome." I said with a smile.

He grabbed my hand and led me over to his truck. We jumped in and he right away started his truck.

"Well my grandparents are really excited to meet you." Carey said while smiling over to me.

"I'm so excited to meet them! They seem like great people." I said clearly a little excited.

The restaurant was about 7 minutes away from Carey's house. Throughout those 7 minutes, Carey gave me the lay down on his grandparents. They were the grandparents on his mothers side and he also told me that they were some of his number one supporters in hockey. We pulled into the parking lot of the restaurant at 6:55 and the nerves came to me. I know I shouldn't be nervous but I couldn't stop it! Carey obviously noticed this because he quickly grabbed my hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"Babe, they will love you!" Carey said while kissing my forehead.

"I really hope so." I said, while smiling in his direction.

We walked into the restaurant and admittedly went straight to the front desk.

"Reservation under Price, please." Carey said with a smile.

"Right this way." She said while grabbing 4 menus. We walked through the restaurant until we reached the back. In the back was a table set for four, lights everywhere and a beautiful view of Kelowna.

"Carey this is beautiful..." I said speechless.

"Only for my most favourite people." Carey said with a smile.

As if on cue, Carey's grandparents walked through the doors. I quickly stepped away so that Carey could have his reunion with his grandparents.

"Grams, gramps this is Bree, my girlfriend." Carey said while looking over and smiling in my direction.

"So this is the wonderful lady you've told us about!" His grandma said while coming over to me and giving me a huge hug.

"Hi! It's a pleasure to meet both of you!" I said while hugging her back and moving on to his grandfather.

"We've also heard about your hockey career! That is so amazing that you are playing in the NHL!" His grandfather exclaimed.

After our little meet, we all sat down and enjoyed our dinner. At around 8:30 we were all done with our meal and were definitely ready to go home.

"Well Hun it was great meeting you!" His grandma came over and gave me a hug. "You make Carey so happy, which makes me so so happy." I smiled over to her when she said that.

"It was great meeting you grandma!" I said while letting go and moving on to grandpa. Before I fully got there I could distinctively hear Carey and his Grandpa taking about me.

"Keep ahold of her Carey... She's special." Grandpa said, patting Carey's back while smiling. He moved onto me and smiled.

"It was great finally getting too meet you!" He said while hugging me tightly. "Carey really does love you, you know?" He whispered into my ear.

"Yeah I know, Grandpa. It was great meeting you." I said while pulling away and smiling. I walked over to Carey and grabbed onto his hand. He smiled down at me and right then I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with Carey Price.
