Avalanche Territory (NHL Gabe Landeskog)

Chapter 17: Together

I rubbed my eyes automatically, my first reaction to do in the morning before I stretched out my limbs and grabbed my phone. Three missed messages, a bunch of Twitter notifications and a missed call as well.

Dutchy:

-text me and we will go out for breakfast.

Erik:

-my car is making a weird noise..... help?

I replied to both messages before clicking the last one that was left, shifting again in bed to get comfortable.

Gabe the Babe:

-good morning beautiful, I miss you like crazy. I hope you had a good sleep and you know I wish I could be the one in rangers spot. good luck today, I know you don't need it. love you raiyne, I'll be home soon babe.

I smiled and replied shortly, knowing that the long distance texting costed money so it was short and sweet, love you too and hoping he came home soon too before I tossed back the covers, my phone buzzing again.

Dutchy:

-I'll be over in 20.

"Shit." I muttered.

--

I heard Matt knock, then knowing he just walked in after hearing Ranger growl at the door.

"Ranger!" I called, jogging down the stairs as I pulled my shirt over my head, my hair still damp from my quick shower.

"Morning Ray." Matt smiled and I tossed my arms around his neck.

"Morning Mattie." I smiled, grabbing my keys.

"You're in a good mood." He teased. "Lovin' the glasses."

I raised a brow as I opened the door, pulling on my boots at the same time.

"I'm unsure on if you're kidding or not."

Matt laughed and I locked the door behind us before unlocking the car and undoing the latches, flipping the roof and taking out the windows before putting them in the back and taking down the full top, then removed the doors as well.

"It's kinda cold." Matt mumbled.

"Get over it bud." I laughed, pulling my hair into a bun before turning the key.

I plugged my phone in automatically and turned up the volume before reversing out of the drive way and shifting into first. I slid my sweater up my arms and tapped along on the wheel.

"I need you darling, come on set the tone." Ed Sheeran sang and I turned it up again.

Matt groaned and hit next as I stopped at a light, I gave him a dirty look as Crash from Gwen Stefani played. I danced in my seat and the guys in the opposite car glanced over.

"Drive back baby to me fast in your car, I'm here waiting crash into me real hard." I sang, moving my hips with the music before shifting and leaving the red light.

"Totally just star fucked the guys in that car." Matt laughed, shaking his head.

I shifted again, changing lanes and tapping along with the music, blue lights reflecting in my rear view.

"Mother f-" I started.

"Way to go." Matt choked, unable to contain laughter.

I turned down the music and rested my head on the head rest of the seat, watching the uniform clad officer walk up and do a double take.
