"Shawzie, for the last time, I'm NOT going out with one of your teammates. Do you remember the last time you set me up with one of your teammates?" I complained to my best friend, Andrew Shaw. I grew up with Andrew in Belleville, Canada and we've been best friends ever since. I actually chose to go to the University of Chicago. Chicago fascinated me and I always wanted to feel the rush of the city. So when Andrew was drafted to Chicago, it was perfect. And then when he was traded to Montreal, I went with him and Chaunette and found a new job out in Montreal. When we first moved to Montreal, he tried setting me up with Brendan Gallagher. We went on one date, and I was there for about 10 minutes and he started talking to me about his girlfriend. He thought Shawzie was just making me go to dinner with him because he wanted me to get to know the team. He had no idea that Andrew was trying to get us to date. So that went well. "Y/N, I promise you. Victor is a really great guy! He doesn't really know anyone here, like outside the team. So when he's not with the team, he's all alone. Please! Just consider it." He begged me, giving me puppy dog eyes. "Fine! But if this goes bad, you're never allowed to set me up with another one of your teammates ever again." I gave him a glare. "Deal! Thank you so much! Victor will pick you up tonight at 6! He says dress semi casual." He kissed me on the cheek and ran towards his room. I rolled my eyes and then looked at the clock. I gasped when I realized it was already 4 o'clock. "Chaunette! I need help! What do I wear?" I panicked, running up to my room. Chaunette came running into my room. "How about you shower and I'll pick out some outfits? Andrew said you guys are going to dinner and a movie." I nodded and ran into the bathroom to shower.
After about 15 minutes, I got out of the shower. "Ok, did you find me anything?" I asked Chaunette. My eyes widened when I saw at least 10 outfits on my bed. I started looking at it all and sorting through what I could and couldn't wear. "Too tacky, too cold for that, that's wayyy too showy for a first date." After looking through and judging almost all of the outfits, I found the perfect outfit. It was a dusty pink chenille sweater with dark jeans and grey converse. It was cute but casual and certainly comfy. It would also keep me hopefully warm, seeing that the high was 15 tonight. I went to the bathroom to do hair and makeup. I straightened my hair and did some makeup. When I was done with everything, it was already 5:45. I slipped my converse on and I grabbed a pair of gloves, my North Face jacket, a Love Your Melon grey beanie, and my purse. I walked downstairs at 5:55 and waited on the couch for Victor. I suddenly got nervous realizing that I had never met Victor. What if he thinks I'm weird or ugly? My heart rate sped up when I heard the doorbell ring. I got up from the couch and opened the door, smiling. "Hi, I'm (Y/N). I said nervously. "Hi, you look beautiful! I'm Victor, these are for you." He said smiling, handing me a bouquet of daisies, my favorite. "Daisies are my favorite, thank you!" I thanked him. "Please, come in! Let me get a vase for these." I smiled, welcoming him in. "Hey, Mete! What's up dude?" Andrew came downstairs, wrapping Victor in a bro hug. I put the flowers in a vase and grabbed my purse off the table. "We should get going. Our movie starts at 6:30." Victor said and I smiled. "Bye Andy! Bye Chaunette! Thanks for the help!" I yelled as I walked out. "Mete, have her back by 11. I swear if you hurt her," Andrew threatened. "Andrew, please!" I rolled my eyes. "I know, I'm just looking out for you. You're the little sister I never had." I smiled, wrapping him in a hug. I walked out, Victor holding the door open for me. "Sorry about Andrew, he's a little protective over me." I smiled, getting into his truck. "It's fine, I understand. Andrew said you guys have been close forever." He said and I nodded. "To the movies we go."

After laughing hysterically at Pitch Perfect 3 and having a great dinner at Noodles and Company, my favorite so I assumed Andrew told him just like with the flowers, Victor and I were sadly on our way back to my place. He pulled into the driveway and turned off the car, running around to my side of the car and helping me out. I thanked him and got out, walking towards the door. "I had a really great time tonight, thank you so much for everything." I thanked Victor and he nodded, smiling. "It's really no big deal. I had a lot of fun and I'd love if I could see you again." He pondered hopefully and I nodded happily. "I'd really like that. Goodnight, Victor." He smiled and leaned in, kissing me on the cheek. "Goodnight, beautiful." I blushed at his sweet, innocent gesture and walked in, smiling. "I told you he was great." Andrew had a smart remark waiting for me as I opened the door. "Oh shut up." I rolled my eyes. But mentally, I was so thankful. I couldn't wait to see what the future held for me and Victor.
