Liquid Courage

It was three

I was awoken from my peaceful rest by the sound of my phone notification going off multiple times. Rolling over to look at my phone that was charging on my nightstand, I was shocked to see I had many new Instagram followers and many comments. To say I was confused was an understatement. Clicking open the app, trying to decide which to look at first. I decided with looking at the post I'd been tagged in. 

"It's not every day you meet a fan wearing your jersey in a bar" 

It couldn't be, all that was running through my head was me trying to find any logical reason to why Tyler Seguin would post my picture with him and tag me in it. He actually tagged me in the post, which now makes all of the new followers and comments understandable.  

Scrolling through the comments on his picture were interesting, to say the least. some we're nicely complimenting me, others were not so nice. I was just about to close the app when I realized I had a dm. To my surprise, it was from the Tyler Seguin. 

"I believe it was actually three shots and two beers but whos counting" 

Did he count how many drinks I had? I assume he did or why else would he say that? If he was counting then that means he had noticed me before I went up to him. Rationally, I concluded it was because I was wearing his jersey. Trying to think of something clever to reply back I started pacing in my room. 

"You apparently lmao" 

Really, that's all my stupid brain could come up with. Feeling defeated and nervous I tossed my phone on my bed and went to the kitchen to get breakfast. Bringing my bowl of cereal back to my room, I stopped by the "guest" room to see if Kelsey was awake. Sighing because of course, she wasn't. I really was anxious to tell her about all of this.  Picking up my phone again only to see that Tyler replied. 

"What can I say, I spotted a pretty girl wearing my jersey ;)"

Instantly blushing, god he was flirting with me. I can't believe it. Deciding to play it hard I replied the only way how. 

"What can I say, I make heads turn" 

Finishing my cereal I got up and went back to the kitchen. 

"I'm not gonna lie, I was surprised to see such a beautiful woman wearing my jersey." 

I set my bowl in the sink and sat down on the couch. I'm so bad at holding a conversation, I was running out of things to say to the man. 

"Oh, uh thanks, but yea you're my favorite Stars player"

As soon as I sent it I instantly regretted it. I probably sound like some weird superfan. He probably thinks I'm gonna be a crazy obsessed fan. 

"Well that's good to hear"  Great, perfect, he didn't think I was crazy. "So, tell me about yourself" 

For about the next half hour or so we just spent time getting to know each other. He made it really easy to hold a conversation, mostly because he was just asking questions but he genuinely seemed interested in me. I was excited, thrilled even. If you told me I would be texting Tyler Seguin I would've laughed in your face. I barely believed it now and it was actually happening. 

I went to my room, I decided to get ready for the day. I don't think we were doing anything today but just in case I showered and cleaned up a bit. I set my phone down on the bed leaving it and the thoughts of Tyler behind.
