Chapter 10 Goal

It was so exciting and new to see a woman outside work, for Killian. Regina loosened up a bit, she was pretty proud of herself for calling him out on what this evening was really about.

He was pretty intimidating at work, and she figured not many people challenged him. "So you're not completely devil wears Prada type of boss," Regina teased cutely holding the beer in her hand.
Killian chuckled, "mmm I can be, you just haven't seen it yet, I can very much be like that, that's all," he sassed with a wink.

Regina's POV- Damn that wink, he shouldn't be allowed to do that. He's insanely hot when he does that, well really just when he breathes even.

They returned to their great seats, with some beers, "I should make it a real date and treat you to dinner," Killian said. "Oh yeah?" Regina asked. "Yeah want a hot dog?" He winked. "So romantic," Regina chided at him.
"I'm kidding, can get us snacks here though and I'll treat you to real dinner," he smiled. "Guess we're going well huh?" Regina asked. "Well now that it's admitted this is a date," he said.
"So why were you so shy about asking me out on your own?" Regina asked. "It's just the code I have, I didn't want you to feel obligated to go out because I'm the boss, it's a slippery slope, I'm not shy," he said. "I know, I respect you for that," Regina smiled.
"Yeah?" He quirked his brow. "Yeah but that's all gone now," Regina teased, with her own wink.

"Damn at least you respected me a week," he smiled. "Not bad," Regina grinned. He kept taking the time to just look at her, she was adorable when she grinned at him, her big eyes got smaller at him as she scrunched her nose up.

"I Umm, wanted to properly thank you for going after the jerk," Regina said. "He hasn't bothered you again I expect?" He asked. "No, you must have hurt him pretty good," Regina said. "Well I used to box," he said. "Wow." Regina was impressed again. It was clear he worked out, obviously.
"I just couldn't stand that he laid a hand on you, and no one deserves that, especially you," he sighed with a smile at her.
"You definitely are crushing on me," Regina elbowed him cutely. "Is it obvious now?" He laughed.

The game got started and Regina was so involved and enthusiastic, she knew all the rules and even all the players. Killian was again impressed with her.

Killian's POV- bloody hell, she's just full of surprises. I watched her get excited when our team got closer to the goal line, and it was so sexy to see her yell with all the big guys in the crowd.
"What?" Regina turned to him, catching him staring at her, "nothing, I like looking at pretty things, and here I'm allowed without it being mistaken as harassment," he smiled.

"I wouldn't think it was that at work," Regina said. "Yeah but people can," Killian said. "I guess so," Regina shrugged.

As the team continued, they scored in the last minute of the first half, the screeching of the crowd and Killian and Regina was palpable. Killian hugged Regina and lifted her up cutely. She giggled in his arm, as he put her down, she looked up at him.

He smiled down at her, wanting to kiss her so much. The buzzer for halftime interrupted. "Uhh let's get some snacks and more drinks," he said. This time he took her hand, and led her up the stairs to the concessions.
He got in line for things, "oh there's the restroom, I'll be right back honey," Regina said it and didn't even realize, as she cutely touched his arm before heading to the bathroom.

He smiled waiting in line, and she came back eventually, given the long line. "Here," he smiled handing her another beer. "Thanks sorry ladies' rooms," Regina sighed. "Got is some nachos, why the hell not?" He shrugged. "Anything with cheese, I'm happy," Regina smiled. "Good," he grinned.

She tried to avoid that he already clearly wanted to kiss her, she wanted it too, but she wouldn't do it. Given his code, and that he was easing into this, she definitely didn't want to be the one to kiss him, first.

Regina's POV- I want to kiss him so damn bad, his lips are so inviting, and it doesn't help he keeps nibbling them. I can't do that though, I want him to do it. Hopefully these bastards score, maybe that will invite him again.

They sat back down, "so you said you had a sister," Killian mentioned. "Yeah she's back in New York, she kinda hates that I moved this far away," Regina said. "Mmm probably wanted to keep an eye on you," he smiled.
"Well she's older and my half sister, she has an accent," Regina said. "Oh excellent, I guess you like that then," he smirked making his accent thicker.

"Not to be work related, but how personal do you want this next article?" Regina asked. "Well, I think it's important we address some serious things on occasion, so whatever you're comfortable with really, I don't want writing the article to upset you. Have you set on a topic and title officially?" He asked. "Mm sort of kicking around 'escape route' and how to get yourself out of a bad relationship, with the least trauma to yourself." She said. "Impressed again," he smiled kindly at her.

He gently touched the part on her eyebrow from the other night when she was bleeding.

Regina's POV- he so softly touched my eyebrow with his finger, looking at me with those sparkling baby blues. He was so sweet. Ugh kiss me.

Killian's POV- Damn she has this soft yet sultry look at me, fuck, I want to kiss her. Come on guys score a damn goal for me.

The game went onward and it was an aggressive half, they cheered with the crowd, and there were almost two more goals. Both missed. Regina sighed with each miss, she just wanted a goal for an excuse to get that kiss.

As the final two minutes ticked on the clock, Killian and Regina watched the game intently, as their team had the puck.
It clicked back and forth against the stick as it glides across the ice.
Finally making its way, with a final hit from the stick straight into the back of the neck.

"YES!!!" They cheered together and Regina hugged him wrapping her arms around his neck and he lifted her a bit again. She held onto him there a moment, and he placed her back down, and she could only hear him, "he shoots, he scores," he said, and pressed his lips on hers, putting his hands around her waist.

Regina clasped her hands around his neck, as his lips finally met hers, she wrapped her lips against his and grinned against his scruff.
