Love.

That's what everybody wants. Every little girl dreams that one day they will fall in love. Maybe with Prince Charming like in the Disney movies. But usually it's not Prince Charming. Usually it's not even close to Prince Charming.

I, however, got my Prince Charming. Our love was just like the fairytales. It started out just like any other Princess story.

Shit. I'm late. I'm so fucking late it's not even funny. My stupid alarm clock didn't go off and now I'm going to be late to my very first day.

My dad has connections with the Columbus Blue Jackets NHL franchise so he got me a job straight out of college with a major in athletic training. I get to be an athletic trainer intern for Mike Vogt, the head athletic trainer of the Columbus Blue Jackets.

I'm running down the streets of downtown Columbus from my apartment building to the Nationwide Arena where the Jackets are holding a morning skate. I race to the employee parking lot where I was told to meet the person that would show me around and what my internship will consist of. I look down at my watch quickly before I turn the corner into the parking lot. Wow only ten minutes. I made up some time. I look up right after I turn the corner and see my new boss, Mike Vogt. I run over to him and apologize, "Hello sir, I'm so sorry I'm late."

He just chuckles. "It's fine don't worry about it. Just don't make it a habit," he says with a friendly smile on his face.

"Yes sir," I say a smile now forming on my face.

"Follow me," he says as he walks through two doors to enter the staff area of the arena. "So to start, I am going to give you your access card and ID, and then I will have someone give you a tour of the arena before I give you a tour of our training room. You will be helping me and our other trainers on a need basis otherwise you will be helping out the team. Sound good?" He asks.

"Sounds great," I say as my smile gets bigger, my cheeks starting to hurt.

"This way," he shows me as he leads me down a few corridors and into the dressing room of the Columbus Blue Jackets. The entire team is sitting in their stalls and when we enter they all look up at me. "This is the dressing room. Guys, introduce yourselves this is (Y/N). She is the new trainer intern," he tells all the guys. "Will one of you give her a tour around the arena after? Great thanks," Mike says before he walks off into another room I'm assuming is either his office or the training room.

"Hi, I'm Nick Foligno, the captain," Nick says as he shakes my hand.

"Nice to meet you," I respond happily. All the guys get up and come over to me, introducing themselves.

The last guy seemed a bit quieter than most of the others. "Hi, I'm Alex Wennberg," he says softly with a Swedish accent.

"Hi," you respond, the smile on your face growing.

"Alex, will you give (Y/N) that tour Mike wants?" Nick asks Alex.

"Sure," he respond immediately. "Follow me," he says as he heads out of the dressing room. He leads me throughout the entire arena explaining where everything is incase I would ever need to know. On our way back to the dressing room he asks, "so how long are you going to be here?"

I laugh, "sounds like you already want to get rid of me."

He blushes before responding, "no it's not like that." He waves his hands in front to emphasize. "I want to know how long I have to flirt with you and build up the courage before asking you out," he smirks a little.
