Sophia's POV- November 2015

"Sophia"

"Jaclyn" I replied back.

"You have to call him"

"I don't" I told her.

She frowned.

"It's been nearly a month, and you've avoided going to hockey games because of it"

"I have not, I've been busy" I argued.

Jackie scoffed and shook her head.

"Bullshit, you binge watched Orange Is The New Black"

Ok, so maybe I wasn't as busy as I made my mom think. Tomorrow was Thanksgiving day, and I had promised my mom I'd be at tonight's game. I literally had no excuses to miss that game.

"So are you never going to a hockey game?"

"I mean I could hope he gets called up" I stated.

I hissed as she punched me in the arm.

"You're so abusive" I told her.

She smiled.

"You love me"

"Not at the moment" I admitted.

She threw her head back as she laughed.

"You are not avoiding hockey or your mother"

There was no avoiding tonight's hockey game.

"You should call him"

I shook my head.

"Why not?"

"If he wanted my number he should have asked me" I replied.

She rolled her eyes.

"Soph, we both know that you would have not given him your phone number because you would have assumed he was cocky"

Ok, she was right there.

"He's shy, probably intimidated by you"

I laughed.

"All 5 feet and 1 inch of me?" I asked.

She shrugged.

"He's not going to ask you to be his girlfriend from the get-go"

"I know that" I told her.

"Give him a chance. He could surprise you and turn out to be a big softy"

I shrugged and she stood up.

"I don't want to miss my flight"

I nodded and stood up. I slipped on my shoes and grabbed my purse before following her out.

"Mom" I called out.

"I'm in the kitchen!"

I followed Jackie down the stairs and peaked into the kitchen.

"I'll be back, I'm dropping Jackie off at the airport" I told her.

Mom nodded and smiled at Jackie.

"Have a great time at home honey"

Jackie smiled.

"Thank you Dina, have a great Thanksgiving"

I waved at my mom as we made our way out.

"Drive safely!"

"Always do" I called out.

I rolled my eyes as I heard Enzo laugh from his study room. We got into my car and once we were inside Jackie turned to me.

"Call him now"
