Intern for Canada

Friday January 2nd, 2015 - Quarter-Final Game Day

Air Canada Center - Toronto, ON, Canada

Angelique's POV

Today is the official start of the quarterfinals, we're playing against Denmark. The team got to Toronto two days ago so that they were able to practice on ACC ice. Me and Josh haven't been seen together again, with both of us being busy, him with practice and me with tasks needing to be done. "Angie!" I look up from folding some jersey's and see Marcus coming to me, "hey, what's up?" I ask, "could you show this dannish player where the stairs are to get to concourse level?" he asks me gesturing to the young guy next to him, "yeah sure" I reply smiling. Marcus leaves after that leaving me alone with the player, "okay so I guess follow me" I tell the player politely as I walk out of the room I was in and into the hall walking towards the stairs that take you to the concourse. "Okay so when you get to the top you take a left through the doors and you'll be at the concourse" I explain to him, "thank you" he replies in broken english, "no problem" I say leaving him and going back towards the room I was in to fold more jersey's, you would not believe the amount of jersey's that we bring with us. 

I smile as I walk down the hall, I'm grabbed and pushed against a wall, I look up and see Josh smiling down at me holding me against the wall. I bite my lip and look to see if the coast is clear and I grab his arm pulling him to the room I was working in earlier. I close the door behind us locking the door so we don't get any surprises. I walk up to Josh standing on my tip toes to kiss his lips softly, "hey to you too" he says to me once I pull back from the quick kiss, "hi" I say as he puts his hands on my hips keeping me close, I place my hands on his chest looking up at him smiling, "we haven't seen each other in such a long time" he explains pouting, "yeah well we're both busy with the tournament advancing and all" I reply. "Yeah but I missed your shortness though" he exclaims, I slap his chest, "I am literally 2 inches shorter than you bud, I'm not that short" I tell him crossing my arms across my chest, he chuckles and kisses my forehead softly making me relax. Then he proceeds by bringing his lips down onto mine cupping my head as he kisses me gently, I smile into the kiss. Someone knocks on the door, "Angie are you in there?" I hear Marcus ask, I pull away quickly as I look at Josh, I spot the table with the tablecloth on it, I push Josh towards it gesturing for him to get under it, "I'll be right there!" I reply as I watch Josh get under the table, I bring down the table cloth as far as I can concealing the floor. I unlock and open the door to see Marcus standing there looking down at his clipboard, "are you done with those jersey's yet?" he asks me, "I only have like five left" I reply, "another quick question, why was the door closed?" he asks me, "um, I didn't want to get distracted" I reply smiling at him hoping that he believes me, "oh okay, well once you're done with the jersey's come and get me i'll be in the coaches room" he explains to me smiling, I nod and when he leaves I close the door before leaning against it letting out a breath. "Coast is clear?" Josh asks, "yeah you can come out" I reply and watch as he flips the tablecloth upwards crawling out from under the table. "Oh my gosh that was so close, I think that we really need to keep our contact at a minimal for the next few days" I say as Josh walks up to me, "yeah, good idea Ange, I'm going to go but i'll see you around" he tells me kissing my forehead before walking out of the room closing the door behind him. I massage my temples for a few seconds before going back to folding jersey's.

 *a few hours later/game time*

I stand against one of the walls in the player's tunnel waiting for the team to be ready to get onto the ice for the game, warm ups happened a half hour ago and now it's nearing game time. The first person that gets out of the locker room is Samuel Morin, he leans against the wall bent over forward looking at his skates, I know that he's probably feeling the nerves, "you'll do great Sam" I say making him look at me, he smiles "I hope so Angie" he replies before going back into his game mode. I just smile at his stance going back to playing on my phone since Marcus hasn't assigned me any tasks yet. After a few minutes I hear the announcer in the ACC, I see the team in the hall ready to get onto the ice as they tap each other's heads and butts. I laugh at their rituals shaking my head at them, the players start walking towards the ice entrance, I smile at the guys, "good luck guys you can do it" I say loud enough for the whole team to hear. Josh is the last one in the line of players and he winks at me as he walks by making me blush slightly, he just laughs before he disappears onto the ice. 

Every time that Canada scored throughout the game I cheer and clap still standing in the players tunnel watching through the opening to the bench. After the 6th goal I stop cheering since I feel bad about scoring so many times against the danes. The final buzzer goes and Canada won 8-0, the players give handshakes before saluting the crowd together. Once all the ceremonies are finished the guys come back down the tunnel, they're cheering as they walk back towards the locker room, I'm suddenly lifted and thrown over someone's shoulder making me squeal in surprise, I see by the name on the back of the jersey that it's Robby Fabbri that has me on his shoulder. I don't even try to get out of his hold knowing that there's no point in trying. After a bunch of walking I'm put down and I see that i'm the locker room with the team. "Thanks so much for that Robbi" I say to him sarcastically as I straighten out my outift. "No problem Angie" he tells me ignoring my sarcasm, I roll my eyes at him, "GUYS I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU, I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!!" I yell happily at the whole team as my smile becomes super wide. They all cheer and make noises at my statement, "I'll let you guys relax and clean up" I say leaving the room. 

Marcus walks up to me, "how bad is it in there?" he asks me, "It's not too bad, I think it's safe to go in" I reply smiling at him, "okay, perfect" he tells me patting my shoulder before walking into the locker room. I walk to the bench and start gathering stray papers and waterbottles to take back to the staff in charge of those things. Arms suddenly come around my waist from behind, "Josh, we can't keep doing this with so much risk involved" I say to Josh, he puts his head on my shoulder, "I know but I can't help it" he explains to me kissing my shoulder softly, I turn around and my eyes widen at how amazing he looks in his suit. My lips suddenly get dry as I check him out shamelessly, I lick my lips and he groans, "don't do that Ange, you're killing me here" he tells me as I look into his eyes. All my thoughts are wiped out of my head and I grab his neck bringing my lips onto his, he wraps both arms around my waist tightly as he keeps kissing me. Josh brings me off the ground as one of my arms wraps around his neck, I focus on the kiss whole heartedly. Someone coughs making me come to my senses as I pull away from Josh slowly, I look behind Josh and see Coach Groulx looking at us with his arms crossed across his chest and an eyebrow cocked with what looks like a small smile on his face. "Uh oh" is all I say before he gestures to us to follow him. I bite my lip nervously as we follow Coach to the coaches room where I know all the coaching staff will be. Josh holds my hand which takes away some of the nerves but I just know that I don't want to lose this internship.
