They didn't take long to get ready. All were wearing Oilers things. Connor left tickets at will call for them. Allison shot her biggest smile as she gave her name. The lady made a comment about Connor McDavid leaving tickets for them with a smirk. Allison laughed as she showed her ID.
They got their tickets and went into the arena. The usher took them to their seats. Of course, they were right behind Arizona's goalie.
"Man, I hate him." Allison sighed, shaking her head.
The teams still had a bit of time in their warm ups. Max skated by and stuck his tongue out at Allison. She smiled. Anthony Duclair waved to her as well. She met Anthony during World Juniors and her and Max had become pretty good friends during Kara's sexcapades.
The teams went off as the clock ran down to game time. The girls were excited to see the team play away from home.
They didn't even get to enjoy their seats before there were ushers escorting them from their seats. Phoebe was convinced they were being kicked out. Allison told her to shut up and just followed the ushers.
They led the girls to some hidden elevator. They climbed on without question. The elevator went up. It opened into a suite.
Connor and the other players from the team that weren't playing were sitting in it. Allison shook her head, thanking the ushers. She stomped over to him. She ran her hand through the back of his hair. He tilted his head back and smiled up at her. She smiled and tugged on his hair.
"Ow!" He whined, moving away from her.
"We thought we were getting kicked out, jerk!" She exclaimed.
He chuckled, wrapping his arm around her waist. "I just wanted to invite you up to the suite." He told her, pulling her onto his lap.
Phoebe and Veronica sat with the other guys. Allison leaned against Connor's chest, slouching in his lap. He had his cheek pressed to her head. His arms were wrapped around her.
Allison realized a camera could pan to them at any moment. She decided sitting between Connor and Veronica would be a better idea. She squeezed his knee. He smiled at her.
Arizona had a two point lead in the first. Ryan scored a goal off a pass from Taylor to give the Oilers their first goal.
The scored stayed that way until the second. Nail went end to end to make a perfect pass to Benoit Pouliot. He sent it home to tie the game.
The third was scoreless. Until Oscar set Ryan up in the last three seconds.
Standing by the change rooms was nothing new for Allison. Phoebe and Veronica were getting used to it too. They were talking amongst each other.
Allison started playing with her phone. She kept up with conversation, she just wanted to check if the notes from her missed class had been sent to her yet. She opened her emails and then her phone was grabbed from her hand. She looked up. Taylor was beaming at her.
"Don't be a jerk." She huffed, yanking it from his hand. "Decent game tonight, Hall." She shoved him.
"Not as great as assisting the overtime winner like your boyfriend." He teased Phoebe. "Speaking of boyfriend's, I'm excited for yours to come back."
"Not my boyfriend." Allison stated. "You could always be Vero's boyfriend."
Taylor and Veronica made faces at each other. They both started shaking their heads. Taylor excused himself and went off to talk to more people.
Nail came out and over to Veronica. She said goodbye to the girls and left with him. The girls just laughed and shook their heads. Everyone was supposed to take the bus but Nail did his own thing. Ryan and Connor finally both came out. Ryan pulled Phoebe into him.
"We set that play up just for you." He told her.
"For me?" Phoebe gawked.
"I would've done the same for you." Connor said to Allison, winking at her.
Phoebe and Ryan went their separate ways from Connor and Allison. She held his hand as they walked to the parking lot. Allison and Phoebe were getting a ride back to the hotel from Max when he was done everything. The bus wouldn't leave without Connor so they were okay. Allison stopped him before they got outside.
"What are your plans for tonight?" He said, his face still close to her's.
"Whatever you wanna do. It's your birthday soon." She smiled up at him.
"I wanna spend it with you but we leave early tomorrow." He sighed.
"Well Phoebe is gonna be with Ryan, so my room is open. Or we could go out." She shrugged, rubbing his upper arms. "Whatever you want, like I said."
"I'll cab over when I'm showered and changed." He told her. "And then we can just lay around because I don't wanna do anything but spend my birthday with you."
She pressed her lips to his. "Go to the bus before we get in trouble." She chuckled
He nodded. He jogged to the bus. He took his seat next to Taylor. Allison and Phoebe waved to the bus as it pulled away. Most of the guys waved back.
Allison and Phoebe found Max and Anthony was with him. Allison called shotgun the second she saw he was coming. He tried to fight it but Max sided with her.
"So what are you and Connor doing tonight?" Max teased.
Allison shrugged. "Hanging out."
"Hooking up." Phoebe interrupted.
"What?" Allison scoffed.
"Al, we know you and him hook up all the time. You spent Christmas with him, you flew to Arizona to watch him play hockey. Just admit you're back together." Phoebe shook her head.
"Yeah, no one's gonna judge." Anthony added.
"We aren't back together, though." Allison sighed. "I told him I needed more time."
"You are always with him." Phoebe laughed. "That's the stupidest thing you could tell him."
"Phoebe, stop. I'm confused." Allison whined.
"Do you want to be with him?" Max cut in.
"I don't know." She pouted. "I love him but everything with us is just, messy."
"Don't toy with him, Alli." Max sighed.
She just nodded.
