Auston Matthews Imagine

Auston Matthews - Part Fourteen

Once dinner has been cleared away I actually do have to go to the bathroom. I excuse myself and head down the hallway that leads to the woman's room, I'm about to open the door when I hear my name coming from inside the men's room.

"I don't know man, he's acting a bit different around this one," I hear who I'm assuming is Mitch say.

"She doesn't look like someone who would take shit from anyone," I hear Zach say.

A waiter passes the door frame and I hastily hide around the corner, still within hearing distance of the men's bathroom.

"That and she's incredibly close to his family, so it's not like he could ever get rid of her," Mitch replies and I frown before he adds. "But he told me that he doesn't really know if she has any interest in him. She never paid him any attention when he lived in Ann Arbor and she never made any attempt to get to know him even after she became friends with Alex."

What? I thought that was pretty obvious and he never made any attempt to get to know me either... I think.

"Are you kidding me? Have you seen the two of them tonight? He literally stole your seat so he could sit across from her and have an excuse to look at her!" Zach says and I can't help but smile and lean my head back against the wall.

"That's true, did you see the way she constantly plays with that little charm he got her? Remember when he got it and was freaking out because he didn't know if she would like it or not because he had never talked to her before?" Mitch laughs and I hear the faucet turn on, I inch towards the women's restroom door but want to hear the rest of what they have to say.

"I think they're into each other, and I wish they would just get it on already because I'm tired of listening to Matts lust over her," Zach says and my cheeks feel like they are on fire.

"I don't think its lust he's after bud, if it was I don't think he would have waited this long. He's had a crush on her for how many years? Somehow I feel like he isn't going to be content with just spending a night with her."

The door knob to the bathroom jiggles and I scurry into the women's bathroom, closing the door softly behind me. I let out a quiet strangled cry as my mind wraps around what I just overheard. However, at the same time, I feel something warm blooming inside me.

When I return to the table I sit in silence, content listening to the conversations around me. Absentmindedly, my hand immediately goes to my bracelet and I realize I do exactly what Mitch says, I only play with the one Auston gave me. I look up at Mitch who exchanges a glance with Zach, an "I told you so" look clearly on his face. Mitch looks back at me, and seeing me him staring back at him, he turns a faint pink. I can't help but laugh and when Alex looks quizzically at me, I just shake my head at her.

Shortly after everyone is getting ready to go and I'm struggling to get my arm into my coat when someone moves to my side and holds the coat out for me to slip my arm in. I know without looking that it's Auston, the warm feeling in my stomach tells me.

I grin up at him and he winks, luckily his back is to his teammates who are watching him, smirks on their faces. Auston follows my gaze to them and quickly scowls.

"Weren't you all leaving?" He snaps at them and I hide my mouth behind my scarf to shield my smile.

They all scoff at him, clearly enjoying making him uncomfortable, just as Alex and Breyana do. However, they listen and after saying goodbye to me and the others, they all shuffle out of the dining area, Mitch winking at me before turning away. He's my favorite by a long shot.
