Hide Away (a Patrick Kane love story/fanfic)

Chapter Two: She's Just Not That into You

Patrick's P.O.V.

"I just don't understand how someone like her turns me down like that!" I said to Jonathan and the guys.

We were having lunch at The Grill on the Ally with Duncan, Brent, Michal, Bryan, Brandon, Niklas, Kris, Trevor, Teuvo and Sharpy.

"Well maybe she just doesn't like the douche bag act." Trevor sneered.

It caused the rest of the guys to snicker and laugh, it just annoyed the hell out of me.

"I'm not a douche bag, I'm the bad boy, remember?" I smirked.

"Maybe she doesn't want the bad boy." Jonny tried to reason with me.

"No, she wants me. She's just playing hard to get."

"Patrick, you could have any other girl you want why do you want her?" Kris Versteeg asked.

"Because she's hot."

"When are you going to give up on your 'bad boy' image and start settling down?" Patrick Sharp asked in a serious tone.

All the guys were now looking at me, I shook my head and shrugged. I wasn't ready to stop having fun, I wasn't ready to settle down. I still have a long way to go.

"Never."

~The Next Day~

I sat in my stall lacing up my skates talking to Antoine Vermette about our game tonight against the Detroit Redwings, they were a good team but we were very confident about winning tonight.

"Alright, Saad, Sharp, Versteeg, Toews, Teravainen, and Hossa, you'll all be working with me today." Jamie says entering the room.

Antoine looked at me and nodded in her direction, a smirk quickly made it's way onto my lips.

"What about me? Don't I get a turn?" I fake pouted.

"I'll turn you into a bloody pulp, how's that sound?" She grinned widely then gave me a smug look.

"Ooh, somebody's moody today. PM-"

"That's enough, Kaner." Jonathan interrupted me with a glare.

"Follow me, boys." Jamie mirrored Jonathan's glare then turned on her heels and exited the dressing room.

"You said she likes you." Antoine laughed.

"She does, she just has a different way of showing it."

The rest of us went out to the ice for morning skate, Coach Q did some line changes and wanted us to work on our penalty kill. I was out on the ice with our best penalty killers; Sharpy, Oduya, Shawzy, Saader and Kimmo. Jamie was on the other side helping the others work on stretching and warmup positions to help minimize cramps and muscle spasms, I really wasn't paying much attention to whatever she was doing. My attention was mainly on her, I watched her move, it was mesmerizing.

"Kaner! Let's go!" Q yelled.

I quickly skated off to center ice where Andrew and Johnny were waiting for me.
