Logan Couture (San Jose Sharks)

"(Y/N), can I ask you something?" Joe asked me one day when we were sitting on the couch. As Joe Pavelski's sister, I live with him, his wife, and their kids. "Ya what's up?" I answered. "So we have this team gala and Martin really needs a date. I figured you're both single, would you want to go as his date? He's a really great guy as you know." Joe said and I froze.

I have been dating Logan Couture in secret for the past 6 months. My brother is very protective over me, so Logan thought it would be best if we didn't tell him. Also my brother told me out of all of his teammates, he would never let me date Logan.

"Umm, I'd love to!" I said fake enthusiastically and my brother smiled. "Great! I'll tell him you'll be there. By the way, it's tomorrow." He told me and I nodded. "I'll go get a dress now."

The day came and went and now was the day of the gala. I was dressed in a long, burgundy dress and Martin had a black suit with a matching tie. "You look beautiful." Marvin told me when he came to the house to pick me up. "Thank you, you look great." I complimented and he smiled. "My lady." He stuck out his arm to me and I looped my arm in his, walking to his car.

He opened the door for me which I accepted with a smile and got in. We made small talk on the way to the banquet hall which wasn't awkward. I couldn't help but think about Logan the entire time.

He wasn't crazy with the idea of me going with another guy, but he knew I wasn't doing it because I liked Martin. We arrived at the banquet hall and Martin helped me out of his car, which I thanked him for. He was a really sweet guy, but I'm in love with Logan.

Once we walked in, Logan immediately made eye contact with me. He smiled at me and I smiled back. I saw him walking towards me so I excused myself from Martin to use the bathroom.

"Where do you think you're going pretty lady." I heard the familiar voice of my boyfriend and I turned around with a smile. He pulled me to a safe place and gave me a long kiss. "You look, incredible." He told me and I blushed. We talked for a bit before I knew I had to go be with Martin.

"Okay babe, I really have to go back. Martin's gonna think I'm ditching him if I go to the bathroom for an hour." I told Logan and he sighed knowingly. "Alright gorgeous, I'll be admiring you from afar." Logan joked and I chuckled, pulling him in for a kiss.

"And just what is going on here?" I heard the familiar voice of my brother which made me jump, quickly releasing Logan. "Joe, it's not what you think." I rushed out and he shook his head. "Really? Because it looks like you left Martin by himself to suck face with Logan."

I sighed and Joe gave me a disappointed look. That set me off. "Look, Joe. I'm 29 years old. I'm a little sick and tired of following your stupid rule of not letting me date Logan, or any of your teammates, or anyone for that matter. I think I'm old enough to decide who I can and can't love. I love Logan. We've been dating for 6 months. And you're just going to have to accept it." I told him matter of factly. I was proud of myself for finally standing up for myself.

Then my brother did something I never thought he would do in this situation. He laughed. "(Y/N), I've known you were dating Logan since the first day he asked you out. Thornton has a big mouth. I just wanted to see how long the act would last. I really don't mind that you're dating Logan. He clearly loves you and you clearly love him. Just please, no nephews yet." He joked and I smiled. I gave my big brother a hug and he chuckled, wrapping his arms around me.

"I love you, sis. I just wanted to protect you, I hope you know that." He whispered in my ear and I nodded. "I know, Joe. I love you, brother." I said and he kissed my cheek. "Love you too, little sis. Now, one rule. No making out in front of me please." Joe grimaced and walked away. "And by the way, Martin knows I only did this to test you. He doesn't mind, really. Besides, I think he's really hitting it off with that bartender." He pointed towards Martin talking to a pretty red headed bartender and I smiled. I was happy for him. Joe walked away and finally left Logan and I alone.

"I love you, baby. We can finally be public with our relationship." Logan smiled and leaned in to kiss me on the forehead. "So, umm how about we get started on a nephew?" Logan joked and I slapped him. "Logan! You're lucky I love you." I rolled my eyes but smiled. I was so lucky, even if Logan was a pain at times.
