Angelique's POV

There's a knock at my hotel room door so I jump off my bed in excitement, I smooth out my dress before actually opening the door. Once the door is open I see Josh standing there with a rose in his hand, "oh Josh you didn't have to get me a rose" I explain biting my lip as I look down at my feet shyly, he brings my chin up with his free hand. "You deserve it" is all he says, I take the flower slowly smelling it with a smile on my face, "I'll just put it in some water and then we can go" I tell him disappearing into my room for a second before reappearing in front of him. He holds out his hand to me, I close my door before placing my hand in his. "What did you tell the guys about your whereabouts tonight?" I ask him once we get into the elevator, "I told them the truth...that i'm taking a beautiful girl out on a date" he replies looking down at me, I blush at his statement making him laugh, "quit it, stop doing that" I say to him, "but it'd just so easy to make you blush though, I can't resist" he explains bringing me against his side, I feel the sparks go up my body as he does that. 

We end up in a restaurant near the hotel, which I learnt is where the whole team is staying. Once we're seated I relax a little knowing that I won't have anything to worry about tonight. I order my meal once the waiter comes and Josh does the same, we talk about our home life and Josh tells me about his team in Kelowna and how he got drafted by the Winnipeg Jets. "I think that the Jets would be stupid if they didn't sign you to a contract next season" I tell him after he says that he's probably not good enough to make their roster. "Are you always this amazing Ange?" he asks me smiling, I shrug blushing and then he takes my hands in his running his thumbs across my knuckles. "We should get the bill, it's getting late" I say looking at him, biting my lip. He nods and flags down our waiter, once the bill is paid we put on our coats and go back outside to make our way back to the hotel. As we're walking we notice a bunch of the coaches for the Canadian team, I look over at Josh with wide eyes, he pulls me into the nearest alley pushing me against a wall to make us the least visible possible. The coaches walk by without noticing us and I breath out in relief, I suddenly notice how close me and Josh are to each other, before I can do anything Josh brings his lips down onto mine.

After a few seconds he makes a move to pull away but I put my hands on both sides of his face keeping his lips on mine as I kiss him back. Josh's arms come around my waist lifting me slightly off the ground and my arms find their way around his neck bringing him closer than ever to me. I start losing my breath so I pull away from him opening my eyes in the process as he lowers me back to the ground. "That was...." Josh starts saying, "perfect" I blurt out cutting him off, I put my hands over my mouth with wide eyes, he just chuckles taking my hands off of my face and taking them into his, "yes exactly, perfect" he tells me kissing my forehead softly before pulling me out of the alley so that we can get back to the hotel.

*the next day*

I get to the arena at my usual time and go to the coach's room to see if they need me for anything. I knock on the door and Marcus answers smiling at me, "perfect timing" he tells me letting me in to the room. I sit at one of the seats around the table, "as most of us know the tournament games will be starting soon, this means that we really need to figure out what lines are going to be put together on the ice, I have those lines written down on the whiteboard I am holding, for now we should be the only ones with access to the lines until that first game" Coach Groulx tells us, I nod in understanding. "Aren't you going to tell her the news?" Marcus pipes up, I look at him confused, "Oh right, Angelique I will be letting you take a swing at running practice today" the coach tells me, my eyes widen in shock, "wh-what" I say in shock. He smiles at me, "shouldn't you be happy?" he asks me confused, "I am it's just i've never done that in my life" I explain to him, "don't worry i'll be there to help out" he says patting my shoulder. I just nod and get into the right state of mind realizing that i'm going to be the boss of those guys for a full hour.

 *one hour later and after practice* 

I walk down the player tunnel one i'm done the practice and I smile at how well the whole thing went with the team. They all had fun with me, bumping me around a little and joking around as they did drills. "Angie" I hear I turn around and see Brayden coming towards me with a smile on his face, "hey, what's up?" I ask him, "you did really great out there" he tells me, "oh thank god, I had no clue what I was doing half the time" I reply laughing a bit. He comes closer to me leaving very little space between us, "Brayden...what are you doing?" I ask him nervously as he leans towards me slightly, "I like you Angie" he tells me and my eyes widen at his statement, "please we can't get involved with each other, we'll get in trouble" I explain to him, "that hasn't stopped you with Josh" he says boldly to me, I gasp, "how?" I ask, "I saw you two getting close during the fitness testing" he replies. Before I can say something the coach calls me, I get away from Brayden and go to the coach. 

"You wanted me?" I ask coach Groulx when I get to him, "yeah, we're having a team dinner tonight, would you like to join us?" he asks me smiling, "s-sure" I reply, nervously smiling at him, he nods dismissing me. I know that I have to talk to Josh about the whole Brayden situation so I take out my phone, 

A: We need to talk

J: okay meet me at the vending machine closest to the locker room

I pretty much sprint to the meeting place wanting to just get everything out already. I see Josh coming towards me with confusion on his face. I bite my lip nervously, "hey so what's up?" he asks once he's close enough, "Brayden knows about us" I tell him, his eyes widen, "how!" he exclaims shocked, "he saw us on fitness testing day all close" I explain looking up at him worried. "What are we going to do? I don't want to get fired, I came so far, what if he isn't the only one that knows!" I say pacing a little and rubbing my temples, "hey, it's going to be okay Ange, calm down, we'll just stay away from each other when you're here and it will be fine" he explains grabbing my shoulder to make me stop pacing, "you think it will be fine?" I ask, he nods smiling at me, I walk towards him and wrap my arms around his waist hugging him tightly. We stand like that in a hug for a few more seconds before he pulls away, "yeah we should start that whole not being seen together thing right now" he tells me, "you are completely right" I say agreeing with him as I straighten out my shirt before waving at him and walk away in the opposite direction.

As I'm walking away I realize that i'm going to the team dinner, I groan at that fact knowing that Josh will be there and so will Brayden. This is going to be an interesting night...
