This morning I woke up realizing that I would be meeting some of the Boston Bruins… I wonder which ones I’ll be meeting. I still can’t believe I’ll be meeting some of them tonight, it’s quite exciting, only because I love the Bruins so much.
Anyways I was sitting on my bed actually caring about what I was going to wear tonight and realized it was about time I got my first dress. I quickly got up and headed towards the table where my keys, wallet and phone were sitting. I picked them up and headed towards the door and out it. I made my way down the stairs instead of the elevator. Yes, I took 15 flights of stairs, it’s not that big of a deal.
When I made it to the lobby I walked towards the parking garage and hopped into my car. I quickly put the keys in the ignition, starting the car. I turned out of the parking garage and drove to a store I used to drive past all the time when I stayed out here in Mass with my family.
After I had parked my car in the parking lot I got out and walked into the store. The smell of perfume and tons of flowers filled my nose making me want to let my breakfast come up, but of course I didn’t.
“Hi how may I help you,” A lady behind the front desk asked politely.
“Hello, uhm I am looking for a dress that isn’t too girly or too Jockey… Could you uhh help me with finding one,” I asked with a smile on my face.
“Of course I may just have the one,” She replied and quickly ran off to the back area of the store.
“Ok,” I said to myself leaning against the counter while tapping my keys on the desk.
Soon the lady came out with a beautiful Blue, grey and black dress. It looked amazing, I absolutely loved it.
“Oh my… That’s amazing,” I told her with a large smile, “How much is it?”
“It’s only 30 dollars sweet heart,” She replied lying it down on the counter.
“Alright, I’ll take it,” I replied pulling a 50 dollar bill out of my wallet. I slowly handed it to her as she gladly took it and gave me my 20 dollars back.
By the time I got home it was four thirty, leaving me with and hour to get ready. Knowing it wouldn’t take long to get ready so I just sat around till five. As soon as the clock struck five I hopped up from the couch and got some jeans and a dim yellow t shirt on. What? I never said I was gonna wear the dress tonight… Now did I?
When the clock struck five thirty five I walked out of my apartment and across the hall knocking on the door. After about maybe thirty seconds the door swung open quickly revealing Torey with a smile on his face.
“Hello Jen, how are you today,” He asked making way for me to walk into his apartment.
“I’m just perfect, how are you Mr. Krug,” I asked.
“Just wonderful,” He replied, “The guys will be here when I call them after dinner.”
“By the way what’s for dinner,” I wondered looking around his apartment and finally taking a seat on his couch.
“Oh, I figured we could get some take out Chinese… If it’s ok with you,” He replied sitting in the chair across from me.
“Sounds good,” I said in response while leaning back on the back of the couch.
After Torey ordered dinner it soon came and we ate. Let me tell ya, IT WAS TASTEY! It really was, I wasn’t expecting it to be so go. Back in Wisconsin there were only about two or three good places to eat, it’s amazing that I’ve found one on the first shot.
“Aye, Jen, Let me know when you want me to call the guys over,” Torey informed me from behind the kitchen counter.
“Oh it don’t matter when! I guess whenever you call,” I told him putting my beer down on the Coffee table in front of me.
“Ok, I’ll call now,” Torey told me throwing his empty beer bottle into the recycle bin.
Torey slowly picked his phone up out of his pocket. He unlocked it and dialed a number before waiting a few seconds and speaking.
“Hey Man!”
…
“Yeah you guys can come over now and mee-.”
…
“Really,” Torey sounded unpleased by whoever is on the phone.
…
“Alright, see ya in a few!”
…
“OK, bye.”
Torey looked at me and said, “He the guys had to go somewhere so only one of the guys will be coming. I hope that’s alright with you.”
“Yeah, it’s totally fine! I understand that some of them have live and actually do stuff, unlike me,” I replied standing up while grabbing my beer and taking the last sip.
“Alright, If you say so,” Torey mumbled while grabbing the bottle and throwing it away with the other.
Then there was a knock on the door and Torey quickly jogged over to the door with a little “oomph” put into his step. Why is he so excited, doesn’t he see this guy all the time? Torey turned and pulled the knob to the door making the door swing wide open. There stood a man with curly brown hair and beautiful hazelish eyes, Tuukka Rask. Torey let him walk him and he quickly approached me.
“Well Tuukka this is Jennifer Wilson and Jen this is Tuukka Rask,” Torey introduced us.
“Nice to meet you Jennifer,” Tuukka said as I stuck out my hand, instead if shaking my hand he brought it up to his lips and planted a soft kiss on the back of my hand, he kept eye contact with me the entire time.
“Nice to meet you too Tuukka,” I replied with a smile shaking his hand.
“So Uh let’s do something! What do you guys think,” Torey said clapping his hands together once. I could see it was kinda awkward for him.
“Uhh sure! What do you want to do Torey,” I asked turning my attention away from Tuukka.
“How about a round of beer and we bullshit around,” He suggested.
“Alright, see cool with me,” Tuukka said sitting down on the couch.
I slowly sat down next to him and laid relaxed with my legs in the “criss-cross apple sauce” position. My back was also leaned against the back of the couch.
Torey reached into the fridge and got out three beers once he handed Tuukka and I one he sat down and started to speak, “Alright how about we all tell something about ourselves?”
“Alright,” Tuukka’s slight Finnish accent rang, “Jen you can go first.”
“Alright! Well I’m From Wisconsin and just moved here to Boston,” I informed.
“Wow! As if we didn’t know,” Torey joked. Both Tuukka and I laughed in reply.
This was gonna be a good night. I can just tell.
**** Just so you know I may not post tomorrow, I'm going to summer fest again! Alice Cooper was amazing last night.. There's a video I took on the side... So yeah!!! Hope you enjoy this chapter :)
