True Grit on The Ice

Chapter 3

Sorry for the grammer mistakes, i'll put a better version up later.

Dubi won the face off Evy was so excited and right then and there she new the rangers are going to win. Very quickly they were moving the puck forward past the blue line. She held her breath as Callie took a shot before being slammed hard into the boards. El gasped and griped my arm Evy heard her mutter “hockey is way to violent.” Evy had to disagree with her on that one. Having all those strong Alpha males roughing each other up, fighting made her think some naughty thoughts. Then off the rebound Brandon scored! Evy was jumping up and down screaming his name in a savage joy that only hockey can bring out in Her. Evy joined everyone chanting Dubi while he made his victory lap to his teammates on the bench. Then she turned to El and say, “I think he scored cause he somehow new that today was my birthday and he’s my favorite player. Fuck Ya!”

“I’m sure that’s his exact thought I have to score cause this chick I’ve never met is here and it’s her birthday, you’re such a freak sometimes” she tells me.

Evy ignored that last bit, that’s her story and she was sticking to it and nobody can make her change it. The rest of the first period was just as intense but no one score. During intermission Evy got up to a drink stand to get some more beer and the cashier ask for her ID. She handed it over and when he sees that it’s her birthday date he says “hey today’s your 21st birthday?!”

“Yeah it is,” she tells him, “well in that case these drinks are on me, Happy Birthday!”

“Thank you so much,” Evy told him with gratitude.

The rest of the game went by pretty fast until the fight and man that was really brutal. Evy never look away when players’ fought but this one made her want to, it was ridiculesly brutal. “Oh shit look Dubi’s bleeding, he’s got a gash just over his eyebrow.” He went into the penalty box but pretty quickly the athletic trainer went and got him because he needed medical attention. “Damn that was brutal,” Evy muttered to herself the guy to the side of her agreed also. The game went by even faster after that. Callie scored another goal with very little time left on the clock and then time ran out. They had won the game; everyone was going crazy there was a lot “Yeaaa we won,” and “Ovechkin sucks,” El and Evy were hugging jumping up and down screaming they had won over and over again. They also decided that to wait until everybody left the stands to head out because it was way to crowded.

“So where are we going now?” Evy thought but apparently she said that out ‘cause El answered me.

“Well we’ve gotta go to a bar it’s your 21st birthday and that’s the only place worth going for it.”

“Yeah we just got one small little tiny problem umm Your 19 and can’t get into the bar, I guess we’re gonna have to sneak you in huh,” Evy replies in a sarcastic drawl.  

“Naw as much fun as that would have been, we won’t have to,” she tells me.

“Yeah so how will I not have to sneak you in exactly, do you have an in with the place we’ve never been to before…” Evy sarcastically told her.

“I have my sisters old ID dumbass,” she tells me happily.

“Oh well in that case lets go to the bar sneak you in, well kinda sneak you in, and party our asses off,” Evy telld her excitedly. “Oh and I overheard a place that’s supposed to be a great time it’s called McGregor’s, what do you think?”

“Sounds like a plan and it’s your birthday so you get to decide which place we go to,” she tells me.

“Well then we are going there,” Evy smiled excitedly.

“Hell ya, but could we go back to the hotel to change please…” Evy quickly cut in and said “Come on really what’s wrong with what your wearing you look fine and so does you make-up... stop being stupid, I mean really, were heading to the bar right now.”

“I gotta look hot, come on,” El looked at Evy like she was stupid for not knowing.

“All right I’ll make you a deal,” Evy paused for a second to make sure she was listening then I said, “lets go get dinner where you can hit up a bathroom to freshin’ up and we can get a little something to eat so we won’t get raging drunk, sound like a plan?”

“ Yeah I guess so,” she tells my grudgingly.

The bar was packed. They pushed our way to the bar were we ordered some drinks and tried to find a quite spot to drink them and to watch the people in the bar.

“Oh my god! Look over there,” Evy pointed out a spot across the room. “What! Where!” she said. “Some of the New York Rangers just walked in! Holy shit Look Marc Staal, Michael Del Zotto, Derek Stepan, Brian Boyle and Artem Anisimov.” I was beyond exited about tonight She could barely contain myself. “Shit” “What, what’s wrong Evy?” “Brandon Dubinsky just came into the bar, I think I’m having a fan moment right now just ignore me.”

Looking at him made the butterflies in her stomach go crazy, he looked good tonight. He had dark wash jeans on with a button down blue shirt he had brown hair and eyes that reminded me of bourbon, broad shoulders and arms that made a girl think some interesting thoughts, and Evy most especially.  

“Hey El why don’t we go and dance, I know you hate to dance but I’d rather not dance by myself and it’s my birthday, so you can just suck it up,” Evy told her.

“Well then lets go dance, girl and get this party started.”

They headed out onto the dance floor and lose themselves in the music.

Brandon Dubinsky walked into the bar and quickly spotted the boys and headed over to them. “What’s good here?” he asked Michael Del Zotto. MDZ looked at him for a sec then said, “you mean besides beating the Caps and celebrating with a good beer?”

“I see your point,” he told him. “Hey look at the two girls dancing together, they’re pretty hot.”

“Yeah not bad, what do you think time to dance?”

“Yeah lets hit the dance floor.”

She was petite with dark hair she also looked like she was having a great time. Until this guy came up behind her to dance she immediate pushed him away but he wouldn’t leave. So he thought maybe he could play knight and shining armor and get the girl. Then Brandon walk up to him and pull him away from her “Hey he said what’s your problem man I’m dancing with the lady here.”

“My problem man, is she pushed you away from her a few times and guess what your still there so I think it’s time for you to leave, now,” he told him calmly. “No no talking leave now, or I’ll get you kicked out of the bar.”

“Fuck you,” was all he said as he stormed away.

“Since I drove away the ogre, do you think we could dance,” Brandon asked her quietly.

“I think that can be arranged,” she told me.

Oh my god she couldn’t believe she was actually dancing with Brandon Dubinsky! The butterflies in her stomach are going crazy, shit! She was acting like a twinkie and she really needed to stop that. She’s really gotta act relax like this could happen every day.

He leans down to talk into my ear and he says, “what’s your name, I think as your savoir I should know it, don’t you think? By the way I’m Brandon.”

“I guess that means I should tell you name huh…” she said flirtatiously, “Its Evy.”

“Hi, Evy it’s nice to meet you,” he says smiling at me. Damn his smile is sexy. The rest of the night at the bar went by in blur. The bar was closing but they both didn’t want the night to end.

“Can I walk you home,” he asked her cutting into my thoughts.

“Yeah I’d like that.” The whole walk to the hotel they talked about nothing and everything.

When they got to her hotel room and she unlocked the door and left it open telling him without words to come in. Evy then headed to her room and looked behind her at him giving a come hither look over her shoulder and asked him if he was coming. “If your positive” was all he said. “ I am.”

They walk into her bedroom and the door slammed shut behind us.
