Money, Power, and Fame || Jonathan Toews Book 1

Chapter 10 : Change

I stand still as I look at Jonathan.

"Look you don't have to change your mind, I leave in two days, I'm pretty sure you don't want a long distance relationship." I say turning back to the sunset.

"Your right. I don't want a long distance relationship Alina, but when I left to Boston for that one day I couldn't wait until I got home because I knew you would be there. So stay. Take the damn job of being our photographer." Jonathan says.

"I don't do action shots." I say. "It's not just about action shots Alina, you take pictures of us smiling casually at the camera, take pictures of the famous people who come to the game, and much more." Jonathan says basically begging me.

"I know you say this isn't want you planned out to be, but you never know what can come out of this." Jonathan says.

"I'll think about it." I say turning slightly to him.

"Okay." Jonathan says smiling before walking inside.

I wait awhile longer before walking back in and sitting down.

"Care to dance my lovely lady." Patrick asks turning to me. "Sure." I say laughing as he helps me up.

We walk onto the dance floor as a slow song plays and everyone begins to join us.

"You know Alina, Jonathan isn't a bad guy." Patrick whispers. "I know." I say.

"So forgive him. Stay with us!" Patrick says smiling.

"It isn't simple." I say. "It is! It's either you leave or don't. You have family here, you got Jonathan! You got the team who loves you, and you got much more." Patrick says.

"Times running out Alina, tomorrow the photographer gets picked." Patrick adds.

I look at him and he smiles. "It's up to you darling." He says before kissing my cheek and leaving me on the dance floor.

I stay awhile on the dance floor thinking about my choices here and smile.

"Dance with me?" Matt asks walking up to me. I smile and nod as he places his hands on my waist.

"You know you should take that job." Matthew whispers.

"Let me guess your on this too? Operation make Alina stay?" I ask laughing.

"No I'm not I want you stay. You missed out what four years of our lives? I want to be friends again where we go over to each other's house, order pizza, and watch whatever the hell you girls watch as I Tweet about how depressing it is to be there." Matt says.

I nod and he smiles. "Look I'm not pressuring you into doing this, but it would be great to have you back." Matthew says smiling.

After the wedding I walk barefoot to Patrick's car.

"Why are you barefoot?" Patrick asks. "My feet are killing me." I say motioning to my heels.

"Ahh, I'd figure that." He says getting into the drivers seat.

"Let's go home." Patrick says.

"Actually, can you stop by Jonathan's house?" I ask.

"Ya sure. Forget something?" He asks. I nod and he smiles before taking off.

When we get to Jonathan's house I'm thankful his car is already in the driveway.

I quickly jog up to the door and knock.

"Hurry up Jonathan." I mumble as I ring the doorbell fifty times.

"What do you want?" Jonathan asks opening the door before noticing it's me.

"Alina-"

"I want you." I say answering his question.

Jonathan smiles and I chuckle at his reaction.

"You realize P-"

I bring Jonathan's lips to mine and smile.

Patrick whistles and I smile as I pull away from the kiss.

"Your taking the job?" Jonathan asks. I nod and he smiles even brighter.
