Love For The Sport

Part 2 - The Warm up

Bo's POV

After last week was somewhat eventful,(we won all our games that week,) we had 3 days off before our 5-game home stand. I was kind of disappointed and happy at the same time. But it gave me a chance to explore the city a little, so I travelled a bit and came across an arena. I decided to head in, there was a game going on. I sat down and watched. I asked someone what teams were playing in what league. They said the teams were the Winnipeg Blackbirds (a type of fighter jet)  against the Calgary Inferno, part of a women's league similar to the NHL, the NWHL. I kept watching, it was pretty intense.

After a while, I saw a girl in a Blackbirds jersey (they were similar to the Jets) on a breakaway. I watched as she faked the goalie out completely to score, I was amazed, I didn't see the name on the back of her jersey. After the face off, the announcer proudly said, "Winnipeg Blackbirds goal, scored by number 53, Krystal Martinez!" I sat there thinking holy crap, she has the same number as me! Probably just a coincidence. I looked at my program and saw her picture, wow she was beautiful. Nice grey/blue eyes, semi-long brown hair, her face was perfect. Because I'm somewhat known around the city, after the game, a coach, who was also a fan, came up to me and said, " Hello Mr. Horvat, it's an honour to talk." " Likewise" was my only response. I was offered to go into the locker room and I said I would be happy to. I was lead in by the coach who gave a speech, " Alright girls, great win tonight, you all did amazing, let's hope you can keep it up for our home stand. I would also like to introduce, from the Winnipeg Jets, number 53, Bo Horvat!" I got some applause, after it died down, I thanked them for giving me a good game to watch.

After they all got changed, some of them were talking to me, a few flirting, but I waited for Krystal, she was the only one I wanted to talk to. She was walking out with a teammate when I walked up to her and said hi, she told her teammate to  "wait for her in the car." "Well hello, Mr. Horvat",she said professionally. "Please, Call me Bo", I insisted. "Alright, Bo, what makes you want to talk to me?" she questioned skeptically. "Well, I think your really pretty and wanted to see if maybe you wanted to have coffee with me some time." Wow, real simple, Bo. Real simple, I said to myself. "Wow, I'm flattered, I think that sounds great. I'll give you my number. She took a napkin from the condiment table at the concessions stand. She wrote her number down,"Here you go, Bo, talk to you later!" she said as she left.

Author's note

Hey everyone! Sorry for the long wait, I had horrible writer's block. Anyways, what do you think of it so far? Do you think Bo and Krystal will fall in love, or will Bo get friend zoned? The next chapter will be up tomorrow! Until then, enjoy the story! :)
