"I got hired!" I exclaimed as I walked through the dressing room door. "And you may like the place."
The guys looked at me skeptically and I held up the sheet, "Hockey Obssesion!"
I laughed, Matt put me over a shoulder and spun me in a circle, "Way to go."
"Well I gotta go." I commented, ruffling his hair and making my way to the door.
"Raiyne!" Gabe laughed.
"Yo."
He smiled, pulled me to him and pressed his lips to mine.
"Good luck."

It was slow, and by slow I mean dead, deserted, empty. I flicked on one of the TV's and Gabe popped up, an interview probably shot minutes earlier.
"God, he's gorgeous." A girl mumbled, sliding in near the cash with me.
"I know right." I laughed, turning the volume up a bit louder.
I cleaned a few things, hung up a few jerseys and walked back up the front as I heard the little bell ring on the door.
"R-Raiyne, uhhhhh." The girl I was working with stammered.
"Yo?" I asked.
"Colorado Avs." She blurted.
Sure enough, Jamie, Gabe, Matt and Ryan stood in the doorway.
"Can I help you?" I asked, raising a brow.
They glanced at eachother, the same interview replaying on the TV behind me and I scrambled for the remote to turn it off.
"My god, he's cuter in person." The girl whispered.
"Trust me, I know." I laughed. "Seriously, what do you boys want?"
"Raiyne!" The girl exclaimed.
"It's cool, I know them." I laughed.
"You know them?" She squeaked.
"I'll go left to right ok. Ryan, Jamie, Matt, and Gabriel." I named, pointing.
"Uh, hi." She said, ducking behind a few racks to sort clothes.
"So how's our favourite reff?" Jamie smirked, taking in my shirt.
"Bored, no one has been coming in lately." I groaned, leaning against the counter.
Gabe laughed and kissed my temple before navigating towards the sticks, then I looked at the other three.
"Lemme guess, shoulder pads, elbow pads and a new helmet?" I smirked.
"Damn, you're good." Matt laughed.
"Let's go."
--
"When does your shift end?" Jamie asked, sliding his card across the counter.
I checked the time, checked out his gear and shoved it all into a bag, "Ten minutes, you boys sticking around?"
Gabe shrugged, "Should we?"
"Fine then don't, I'll call Carmin." I laughed.
"Fine, I guess we'll drive you." He laughed.
"That's what I thought." I said, sticking out my tongue.
I turned the radio up a bit and adjusted a few things, helping a little kid grab a stick showing him how to use it as I passed a ball between my feet, passing the stick to the older brother I'm guessing.
"You're good!" The kid cheered.
"I'm decent." I laughed, ruffling his hair before moving on.
I finally grabbed my jacket, checked out and walked to the front. Gabe wrapped his arms around my waist and spun me in a circle, pulling me out the door. Matt won the race for shot gun so I slid in beside Jamie and Ryan.
"Ugh, you guys are huge." I mumbled, almost on cue they moved so both their shoulders crushed me. "Shit, did you guys bring a jersey the game is in like twenty minutes."
Matt pulled one from under the seat and I undid my belt, pulling my uniform shirt over my head and slipping on the jersey.
"Nice choice." I laughed, a few cars honking as the material covered my stomach. "Eyes on the road!"
Gabe creased his brows and shook his head, "You're gonna kill us, I shoulda drove."
"You would have gotten us into an accident." Jamie laughed.
"Have you died while driving with me?"
"No."
"Then shut up." I laughed.
