TW: Cussing (will update as needed)

In a small town in southern Seattle, there is a ice rink. The outside of it doesnt look fancy or new. It is dirty and even has spray paint on the sides. Inside the faint noises of ice being skated on can be heard. Light music can be heard from the main rink. The rink is big. It has new ice that is now being skated on by a young male. Emma hums as he skates. She does a flip and then a toe loop. ’ almost done. Triple toe then the finale.’ she thinks to herself. Her coach was watching her. Studying her. Emma was a high standing competing ice figure skater. She is from Seattle and so she chose to train here. The figure skater stood only 5’5”. She looked like the typical partner. The one that would be lifted and thrown in a partnership of figure skating. She has light brown hair and light skin. Her face and body has soft features. Once Emma comes to the finally, the doors to the rink are thrown open. This makes Emma fall due to losing concentration. She looks up as she slides on the ice and sighs. Her coach turns around and says to the group “what is going on?” A couch come up and says “we are the new hockey team for the state of Seattle. We want to use this rink. This is going to be our summer practice rink.” He hands Emma’s couch a peice of paperwork. His coach looks at the paper and shakes his head “Emma has to practice. We have this rink for the whole summer!” Emma stands and skates over. “What’s going on?” Her voice was soft. It had a soft English accent. Emma’s couch, William, says “they are going to use this rink…i guess we have to find a new space..” the coach looks at her. Emma looks at the hockey coach and says “can we make a deal? How about i use just half of the rink…this rink is big enough for that…” he says. The hockey coach nods and says “ok..deal.” He says.

Emma sighs as she pushes off to go and get the barrier that would divide the rink in half. She pulls on it as it pops open and she skates it over to lock it on the opposite side. She can’t believe that she has to share a space with these hockey players. She groans as she moves her stuff over to the new side. She mumbles to herself and sighs. She gets hit once in the face with a puck she is going to scream. She looks over at the team and says “dont wait for me…get started..” she rolls her eyes as she pushes off and goes to start practicing again.

@I have Naka to do with it!

Playing ice hockey had never been his choice. But his father had played before him and had insisted he played from a young age. When he showed talent he was forced to keep playing. Even when he had gone to practice crying for years, his dad refused to let him quit. Now he was 26 years and had gotten through school with scholarships paid by playing ice hockey. He was an upcoming talent, someone who could make it big. The ice rink had become his home and he was trying to convince himself that he did not hate it. Especially now the summer was here and he was expected to spend almost every day in training. As they came into the ice rink he was wearing his gear already. Heavy padded shoulders, a helmet over his head and his stick in hand. He watched as the coach went over to the people who were already there. But mostly, he was looking at the girl. Something about the way she moved effortlessly over the ice. He skated over. "Whats up?" He asked his coach. "Nothing, but we are going to be sharing this rink." Sam couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Share. Why? We reserved the rink.." he said. But it already seemes to have been decided. "Fine. Let's get skating!" @💙Bluey💙

Emma looks at the team and rolls her eyes. She grabs her airpod maxes and puts them on. She turns on the noise canceling and hums as she starts to practice. Her coach nodding as he looks at her tricks and making sure she is doing them correctly and safely. He stops her a few time and they run through some tricks that she needs to work on. She is very focused but her eyes wonder to Sam. She rolls her eyes as she focuses back on her tricks and flips. She hums as she does some of the more complex foot work. The way that Emma skates is like she is walking. She doesnt seem to make it look hard. She glides over the ice like butter. Her foot work in complex and she seems to be able to do it without hardship. She and her coach nods and talks as they work though some of her show. She needed to nail the invitational. She had to get to the next round and win. She wanted to take this year all the way to the grand pix. The highest competition in figure skating. She smiles as she finally lands the footwork and her coach and her laugh as she skates over and grabs her water bottle and drinks some of it. She sighs as she watches the hockey team. Some of the team members were glaring at her. She gave them her bitch face. She didnt care what they thought. @I have Naka to do with it!

The entire training Sam was distracted. The sound of the girl’s skates gliding over the ice just so much different then those of his team. Theirs were short and rough pushes while hers glided over the ice like it was singing a song. “Yo Samual! Get your head out of your ass and start playing!” Their coach yelled at him and he decided he needed to pay attention. So he shook it from his head and actually started to play. He was fast on his skates. His legs were strong and his pushes on the ice easily left slids in the smooth surface. He was able to dodge most of his teammates when he made pushes and make quick turns to get away from them. Once he did hit the puck his pushes were true and hard. Once it was time to take a small break the coach gave him a tap on the shoulder and send him for some water as well. And perhaps that was the time that he really took the moment to look at the girl on the ice. He couldn’t help but love the way she moved. Gliding over the ice like it took her no effort at all. Her body moving in motions that reminded him of waves in the ocean. Only when their eyes met did he look away quickly. As he looked around he was not the only one who was looking at her either. Great.. I am that ass right now. So he skated off again and practiced his shots some more. @💙Bluey💙

Emma looks at the man that she makes eye contact with. She holds it before he breaks it. She blinks and shakes her head. She needed to be focused on her show. She sighs as she pushes off and works on some of her triple toe loops. She had 5 of them in her show and they needed to be perfect. She did these over and over again. Her headphones on blocking out any noises or words. She hums lightly as she listens to music. Her eyes were focuses on her feet when she hits a crack and falls. Her coach stands up and rushes out to the ice. She waves him away as she says “i just hit a crack…i am fine!” Her voice was soft as she spoke. But because of the rink, her voice echoed where it could be heard. She stands up and brushes herself off before turning to look at the team. Her eyes locked onto Samual as he pratices. She sighs as she pushes off and she just knows her blade is busted. She jumps onto the side barrier and takes off her left skate. She sighs as she closes her eyes. it was broken. Not to bad but enough that she would need to get a new pair. She sighs as she just sits there looking at her blade and running her hand over the skate. She hated that she did that. It was such a rookie move. She should have been paying attention. Instead…her mind has wondered off and was more focused on the hockey memeber. She groans as she hides her face in her hands. @I have Naka to do with it!

The sound of her crashing into the ice caught his attention. He instantly turned around and tried to see what happened. In the process getting knocked over himself as a teammate tried to get his puck from him. “Samual!” His couch shouted at him again, obviously displeased with his performance today. He got back up on her skates. “I am taking five!” He just said as he made his way to the sidelines. The whole time his eyes on the girl. He saw her move to the side as well and check her skate. Even he could see it was busted. Ice hockey skates were much sturdier then figure skating ones. But he could see the displeasure in her face. That is probably another 100 bucks gone.. he sighed to himself. He wiped his face of with a towel and took a drink of his water. He looked over to his couch, but he had gotten to busy to pay attention to him so he skated over to the partition. “Hey,” he said out to her to catch her attention, casually leaning over. “You okay?” He asked. Hopefully she didn’t think he was just some asshole who wanted her attention. @💙Bluey💙

Emma looks up and at samual. Her eyes showed a light tear as she wipes her eyes. “Yeah i am fine..just broke my blade..” she says sadly. She looks at her skate and jumps down and moves off the ice. She takes the other skate off before putting the covers on them. She sighs as she looks at him. “Um..I am Emma..i am a figure skater just in case you couldn’t tell..” she smiles slightly as she looks away from him. Her eyes were focused on a old pair of skates. She sighs as she shakes her head. “Well..i guess I won’t be practicing for now…i have to go and get this blade figured out..” she syas softly as she turns back to him. “Did you need anything?” She says softly. Her English accent coming out alittle more. She stood shorter than Smaual. Her light brown/blonde hair was pulled back into a half up half down bun. She wore glasses that were round and framed her face nicely. She had a few facial piercings on her face. She has a small golden lip ring and a septum as well. @I have Naka to do with it!

"I noticed." he said about the broken blade as his eye dipped down to it. he watched her got off the rink and put on the covers. He couldn't help but admire the way her hair flowed as she did so, but once she turned back he quickly focused back up to her face. "Well, Emma the figureskater. I am Samual the hockeyjock." he said to her with a chuckle. "Or Sam for short." he told her with a smile. He looked back over his shoulder quickly to the practice of his team, but nobody had seemed to bother with him yet. "Well.. at least they are going to be happy to actually have the whole rink now." he said but instantly felt like an idiot. It sounds like you want her gone. "Did you need anything?" she then suddenly asked and he focused back on her. "No.. uhmm.." he stumbled over his words. "Just wanted to make sure you did not get hurt." he said as he rubbed over the back of his head from the awkwardness he felt. Say something else dude.. just anything. "You skate very beautiful." Great choice.. idiot. @💙Bluey💙

Emma looks at him when he says that the team will be happy that she is gone. am i that bad… she thinks to herself before she looks away from him. “Right yeah…it isn’t like I have a competition to get ready for..” she mumbles to herself. She packs up her things and looks at him. He want to make sure she is alright? The guys jsut want her gone. Her face showed her anger at him and the team. She had every right to this rink. She had been here for five years. FIVE! She balls her fist as she takes deep breathes. She doesnt speak and just packs her things before stopping. She looks at him and says “first you want me gone…then you are saying that my skating is beautiful…” she stands and looks at him. “What is it? Are you going to be nice or mean? Because whatever it is i will do the same…i have been in this rink of five years! I have every right just as you to be able to practice…just because some paperwork got confused doesnt mean that we have to be at each others thoats..” she was talking the truth. She could care less what they did but she didnt want to fight over rink space or even have backhanded comments about her being there. “Sam…i will respect you adn your teammates if you do the same…” she says as she grabs her bag adn says “if you need to move the barrier just unlatch it and then push it to the other side..” she says before turning away adn leaving. Her face showed that she was hurt by the comments that was told to her. She just need to practice.. @I have Naka to do with it!

He was left just flabbergasted. The entire time that she had been talking and barking at him he had just been lost for what to say. What had he even said that had angered her so much? What had he done to mak her so annoyed with him. He had simply meant it as a small joke and he had said ‘they’ because he meant the team, not him. He would have preferred to see her skate more. As she stormed off he realized that he had to rectify it. He quickly grabbed for the protectors of his skates and clicked them on as fast as he could. He took of his helmet as well, his dark blonde hair falling messily around his head. “Emma, wait!” He shouted after her, hoping that she would as he went after her as far as he could go without stepping on the concrete. “I didn’t..” he tried to scramble for the words, why was he so bad at this. “I didn’t mean it that way. Of course you have every right of the rink. But it would be a shame not to use it if you are not there right?” He said. His choice of words still so wrong. “Like.. you would use the entire thing if we weren’t there!” He tried to fix it. He brought his hand up and just rubbed over his face. He was so bad with these words. Always all over the place. He sometimes felt like he just didn’t know how to talk to people. He was better at letting his actions speak for him. “You want to grab a coffee sometime?” @💙Bluey💙

Emma walks out and stops as he calls for her. She turns to him and watches as he hops out of the rink. She listens to him fumble over words as she stands there. She goes to say soemthing but stops when he ask her to coffee. She blinks. “What..” she whispers out. She gulps as she sighs. She new this was stupid. “I…sure..” she says as she walks to him and looks at his shakes. “One of your covers is wrong..” she says softly as she looks at him. She was a lot closer than she though. She blushes slightly as she backs away and rubs her neck. “Yeah I will go to get coffee..what about tomorrow..morning? Before I need to practice..” she says softly. She takes out a notepad. The notepad had small dogs and cats on it. She writes in small but fancy letters: Emma Smith (555)689-3974) She hands the note to him and taps his shoulder “you should go…your blade will be broken if you stand on it any longer..” she smiles as she turns away and walks to her car. It was a old red and black stick shift keep. She climbs into it, turns on the music, puts shades on and pulls out of the rink parking lot.

11:21

@I have Naka to do with it!

He almost could not help his surprise as she suddenly seemed to turn around and walk towards him. With them being closer to each other, it became clear how much height difference there was. He was a good 6”4 in height and his skates made him even taller in that moment. As she said one of his covers was wrong he quickly looked down and shifted his weight to be on the other skate so he wouldn’t mess up his blade. His surprise was even more as she just agreed to go and grab coffee with him after that. “Yeah! Tomorrow morning is perfect.” He said to her quickly and took the note from her that had her phone number written on it. He could not help the boyish grin that had grown on his face as he looked at it. When he looked back up she was already making her way out. “Yeah.. I will text you!” He shouted after her. He stuffed the note in his pocket and couldn’t help the small fistbump to himself from her saying yes to him. After that he made it back to practice for the rest of the afternoon. Once practice was over and he was dressed in his regular clothes again he pulled out his phone and put her number into it. He opened the text window and started to write. Hey, Sam the hockey player here. I know a little coffee shop not to far from the rink. It is called Beany Business. Meet there are 9? @💙Bluey💙

Emma was laying on her bed watching tv when her phone goes off. She pauses her tv and picks up her phone. She smile and saves his number into her phone as ’sam the hockey player’ she texts back hi, sounds good. I will be meet you there. she sets her phone down as she stands. She goes to her shower and turns it on. She lived in a small 1 bedroom apartment that had a upstairs and downstairs. It was like thoses apartments that is a duplex. She hums as she turns on music and gets ready for relax for the day. She takes a shower, does her skin care, and finally lays in bed and tries to finish her show. She looks at her phone and sighs. hey, sorry about being mean earlier. Just dont like being watched as if i have a illness. she throws her phone on her bed and groans. What is she doing. She rubs her face as she thinks about his face when she gave him her number. She giggles as she grabs her phone, she does her BeReal and checks her instagram as she waits for him to respond. Why did she want him to respond. She didnt know but she did feel happy that he liked her skating. She had gotten a new skate but it was still a pain. She looks at the new shoes she has in her room. She gets up and starts to break the skates in so they arent as stiff for tomorrow. @I have Naka to do with it!

When he got the message back he had almost made it home himself. He lived in a shared housespace with two of his teammates. It was simply easier that way. Each of them having their own room and bathroom, but sharing a living room and kitchen. Luckily he got along with them very well and they had many of the same interests. Watching sports and playing games often. And it was later when he sat at the couch among his friends that he got the second text that she send him. He could not keep the smile of his face as he saw it. “Who is texting you Sam?” One of them asked. “Nobody.” He said quickly. “Nobody? That better be a heck of a nobody. I havn’t seen you smile like that since your mom got you a car for you birthday.” They said. “Ooh shut up!” He quickly complained before excusing himself to his bedroom. He laid down there and looked at the phone again. ‘Being watched as if I have an illness’? What was she talking about. I am sorry if it felt like that. My mom taught me to always be kind to woman. I genuinely just wanted to make sure you were alright. He texted her back. He felt like a pussy for saying that, but it was the truth. Even if he was interested in her, he had not meant anything else with the question. @💙Bluey💙

Emma grabs her phone and reads the message. She sighs as she text back. it is ok..sorry for overreacting. Lets just maybe start over? I am Emma…i have been figure skating since i was 8 years old. she smiles as she rolls over and goes though her instagram. She hums as she looks at the new talent that is coming to the next competition. She was slightly nervous that she wouldn’t be able to get though. She turns off her phone as she shakes her head. She starts to break in the skates. She undoes the lances and works them. She was trying to loose up the shoe and the bill so that it would rub her as back. She was playing light music as she did this in her bedroom. She looks at her phone as she gets a text from her coach. She hopes on the phone with her coach. @I have Naka to do with it!

Got you beat there, been skating since four, starting hockey when I was six. My old man used to be part of the Scouts back in his day. His son had to just become one too someday. He texted back to her as he just laid down on the couch in his bed room. He was glad that at least they seemed on good terms now. Perhaps he had not gone about it right when they first met, but he couldn’t help but stare. Even now as he closed his eyes he remembered her gliding over the ice, her hair moving behind her and those beautiful spins in the air.. she didn’t even know what to call that. He would need to ask if he could come to her training sometime when the team was off. @💙Bluey💙

Emma gets off the phone and checks her text. She smiles and falls onto her back as she reads the text. She giggles and she texts back. well you do have me beat. How many competitions have you won? I have won lot… she sends the text with a picture of all of her trophies. There was a whole wall full of them. She sets her phone to the side before she grabs her skates and puts them away. She cleans up her floor and jumps into the bed. She turns on the tv and curls up in a blanket with her phone near her. @I have Naka to do with it!

The next text made him chuckle and he would take a picture of the class cabinet that held his throphees. There was a good collection of them, and even more missing since they were a team and not all throphee’s were saved in his house. He send that to her. Same. He looked on his watch and notice that it was getting quite late already. He should get some sleep so he was fresh for the day ahead. Especially since he would be meeting back up with Emma. I am going to tug in for the night. See you tomorrow Emma the figureskater @💙Bluey💙

Emma smiles at her phone and text one last message see you tomorrow she smiles as she plugs in her phone and turns off her tv. She curls up and soon falls asleep. She slept well though the night. In th morning Emma got up, got a shower and changed into a very comfy yet cute outfit. She pulled her hair up and sighs as she hums to the music that was playing in her home. She does her hair and light amount of make up before she turns off her lights and grabs her bag with her skates and other things that she would need. She gets into her jeep and drives to the small local coffee shop. She gets out of the car and goes to grab a table for the two. She gets a latte and a muffin for herself. She hums and checks her phone as she waits for the male. @I have Naka to do with it! (The photo is her outfit!)

SPOILER

He also fell asleep and found himself spending most of the night sleeping well. Once his alarm went off he was excited to start his day, knowing that he had the small date with Emma, if he was even allowed to call it that. He got a quick shower in and towel dried his hair. He put deodorant on and considered putting on cologne. Was he trying to hard? He put the cologne away again. He dressed in jeans and a simple grey t-shirt that hugged his body around his shoulders. With all the ice hockey he did, he was quite muscular with wide shoulders and upper arms. Putting a cap on his head he grabbed his bag with ice hockey stuff and then made his way out as well. He had believed that he had come early so he was slightly surprised when he saw her already sitting down with a latte and a muffin. He walked over to her and put his bag down at the table on the ground, the big duffel bag taking up quite some space. “Well, if it ain’t Emma the ice skater.” He teased her with a chuckle that he hoped was not to forward. “Here I thought I could be a real gentlemen and buy you your coffee. Let me go grab something for myself real quick.” He then said and left to the counter. He got himself one of their chicken sandwiches as well as an americano coffee before he joined her back at the table finally sitting down. He finally got a good look at her when he did, the tartan vest looking adorable on her, the little view of her stomach really showing off her figure. And he loved her long legs, it had been something he had noticed the day before as well. “I hope it is not to forward of me.. but uhm.” He said as he brought a hand to the back of his head and scratched at it. “You are looking real cute.” He said with the slightest tint of red to his cheeks. @💙Bluey💙

Emma smiles as she looks at him. “I am able to buy my own food..” she says as he leave to get something for himself. She bluesh as she takes a bite of her muffin and drinks some of her latte. She hums as she looks at him as he comes back. She looks at him and her face turned a bright color of pink almost red. She giggles as she shakes her head. “ thank you…that is very nice of you to say.” She says as she looks at him. She looks at him and her eyes wondered down his body. She had to admit he looked good. His muscles were nicely pressed against his shirt. Her mind moves to a not clean section and she quickly stops her thoughts as she looks at him. “You didnt have to invite me to coffee..” she says as she looks at her coffee and smiles. “But…i am glad that you did..” she blushes as she looks slightly away. She gulps as she says “what..um..tell me about yourself..” she asks as she turns to him. She had a small purse bag and she smiles. She had her hair slightly pulled up into a high half up half down bun. She plays with her bracelet. @I have Naka to do with it!

(Poke take you time just poking @I have Naka to do with it!)

He could see her eyes moving down his own body as he had sat down with his coffee. He couldn’t help but feel it as a compliment that she was even looking. Even if perhaps this would result in nothing at all, he was glad that he got her to go on a single coffee date with him. “I know I didn’t.” He chuckled. “But I wanted too.” He admitted, a smile on his face as he still admired her. She was beautiful and he didn’t think she knew that. “Tell about myself? Ooh jeez.. way to put me on the spot Emma.” He said with a chuckle as he turned his coffee in his hands. “Well.. I am 25. Been doing ice hockey since I was very young. My dad used to be big in it, so now he wants me to make it happen.” He said, using air quotes. “Most of my hours go into training, something I am sure you can understand. If not at the ice rink then at the gym.” He smiled at her. “I live together with some of my teammates, quite a chaotic house as you can imagine.” He finally took a sip of his coffee, needing the break in talking. “So yeah.. how about you?” @💙Bluey💙

Emma smiles and says “well…I live by myself with my dog Juno. He is a Bermis mountain dog.” She says as she takes a bite of the muffin. “I have been skating since I was young as well. My father took me to skating once and I was hooked. So I have been going it since then. I am 24 years old. I am going to school for my degree in psychology.” She says as she takes a drink of her coffee. She sighs and rolls her neck. She looks at him and blushes “I have a few tattoos..” she says as she shows her arm. She had a bermis mountain dog in ice skates. “This is my dog…in skates…see..” she smiles and giggles. “I have some on my back and my legs.” She smiles. She plays with her fingers and says “why…why did you ask me to coffee?” She wanted to know. She wanted to know if he was just being nice or something else. @I have Naka to do with it!

It didn’t take long for him to already figure out that he was impressed with this girl. Living on her own at her age, still doing school at the side of her trainings. She was something else. “Damn.. I didn’t think you would still go to school.” He chuckled nervously. He had been made to quit by his dad once the opportunity to go semi-proffesional came around. It was not like he didn’t have a degree. He had majored in Sports Management. But he would have studied more if he could have. As she started to show her tattoo’s he showed genuine interest in them. “That is awesome.” He said honestly. “My father never let me get any. Says it could ruin sponsor opportunities.” He said shrugging. His father had always been a controlling factor in his life, so he had never paid that much attention to them. It did made him curious what she had on her legs and back. “Why did you ask me to coffee?” The question made him raise his eyes and land on hers, a soft pink hue on his cheeks as he cleared his throat. “I just.. well..” he tried to find the words. “Thought you were cute.” He then admitted before taking a bite of his sandwich. “And I mean.. we both love skating, so we at least had some common ground.” He shrugged. @💙Bluey💙

Emma nods as she drinks from her cup. She looks at him and says “I..am sorry…for how I acted…I just haven’t had great experiences with hockey players…you know.” She says as she looks at him. She blushes as she smiles. “I mean we do both love skating but our styles are very very different…but..not to different..” she says as she smiles. She takes his hand and says “just know that I hold nothing against…but if you hit my with a puck I am throwing my skate at you.” She giggles as she leans back and takes the final bite of her muffin and says “you want anything else? I am going to get a muffin for my coach. He would kill me if I don’t. “ she stands and grabs her wallet. @I have Naka to do with it!

He couldn't help but chuckle at her as she apologized. "I don't blame you. Hockey players are assholes." He said to her with a smile, hoping to bring her in a fun mood so they could both laugh about it. He liked her attitude. She didn't play around, she said what she wanted and he appreciated that. "I will try to not hit you with a hockey puck. But I tell you they have a mind of their own sometimes and I do not control where it goes." He laughrd as he threw his hands up in the air. "Same goes for you though. If you ever twirl into me I will throw you out the rink, skates and all." He joked with her. As she offered to get him something else he shook his head. "I am good. Thanks." He said and would watch her as she walked off. Getting a nice look of her body. Once shr came back he smiled at her and finished the last bit of his own breakfast, his coffee almost done too. "So how many coffee dates do I need to do before I meet your dog?" He asked. @💙Bluey💙

Emma smiles as she sits and says “at least two more..” she says as she giggles. “No no..my mother is bringing him to the rink today. He was staying with her for a few days.” She says as she packs her food up. She had gotten two coffees and a muffin. She looks at him and smiles. “We should get to the rink..” she says softly. She really didn’t want to leave. She wanted to stay and have more coffee and talk to him. She looks at her phone as it starts to blow up with text from her coach. “And there is my text to get to the rink..” she says as she stands. If he followed she would lead him to her car and opens the door and sets her things down and says “meet you there?” She says as she smiles. She leans against the door and says “if you want..you can come to my invitational…it is this weekend..” she says softly playing with her hair. @I have Naka to do with it!

He was about to give her a sad look when she said that she as joking and said her mom was bringing to dog to the rink. “Guess one was enough then huh?” He joked before she mentioned that they should get to the rink. He looked at his watch and noticed the time as well. He let out a deep sigh and got up from his seat, picking up his bag with his helmet and stick and dragging it out on his shoulders. He walked out with her to her car and stopped by it, leaning on the side of it. At the ice rink they were two different people again. He would need to pay attention to his training and she would need to pay attention to hers. Even if they were in the same space, there wouldn’t be much of a chance to actually talk. Her sudden invitation came as a surprise. “Invitationals?” He said blinking a few times before rubbing the back of his head and shaking apologeticly. “I mean.. no.. uuhm yes!” He stumble over his words. “I uhm.. when is it? What day and time?” He then asked, realizing he needed to know that first before he could say yes. @💙Bluey💙

Emma smiles and says “it is this Saturday though Sunday..from 8am to 9pm…but I will be doing my show on Saturday at noon and then on Sunday at 7pm then the award ceremony is at 8pm…” she says softly as she looks at him . “You don’t have too…it will be broadcasted but..I mean if you wanted to see me do my performance I can get you good seats…right on the ice…” she says as she smiles “it is at the college rink about half a hour from here..” she says as then shakes her head “just think about it.” She gets into her car and smiles “see you at the rink.” She puts on sunglasses and pulls out of the parking lot and drives to the rink. @I have Naka to do with it!

He pulled out his phone, taking out his schedule. Saturday for noon was going to be a difficult one, but if he shifted around a bit he could make it, probably. Sunday at 7pm was a more open time for him to actually go and look. His eyebrows kind of knitted together as he tried to figure out how to make it work. But before he actually got to be able to give her an answer she was already stepping into her car and pulling out. He was left just standing there, stunned for a small moment. Well.. that happened. he just thought to himself before making his way to his own car to drive down to the rink himself. He thought about it a bit more. Saturday was surely going to be more tricky, but he was determined to make it work. Once he got to the rink he went inside, he had gotten a lot of traffic stops so he was in way later then Emma and saw she was already on the ice. So he decided to just concentrate on his own thing first. He trained with the team till it was time for a break, trying his best to just focus on his own thing. He did not get yelled at by his coach this time which was nice. Only once the break came did he skate over to the barrier and whistle through his teeth to grab Emma’s attention at a moment that she seemed to be done with her current practice. “That offer still up to get me a seat?” He said to her with a smile. “Saturday might be tricky, but Sunday for sure.” @💙Bluey💙

Emma just landed a twist when he whistled at her. She smiles and skates over. She pulls off her headphones and says “hey…” she listens to him and nods “yeah I can get you a seat for both days, and if you can’t make it to Saturday then that is ok!” She smiles as she pulls out her phone and text her coach to get a ticket for both days for her. “ there…done. I will get those to you ok?” She says as she leans on the barrier. She was sweating slightly “how is practice..” she says softly. She hums and leans her head on her hand. She was wearing a tight under armor top with sweatpants on. She had changed into a more ice shaking friendly outfit. She hums and plays with her necklace. “Hey…if you want i can get tickets for the whole team..” she didnt want to make it seem that she was being mean to the team. He might want his friends to come. She blushes and cusses at herself for not realizing it. “Sorry i didnt offer before..it was stupid…she was stupid. She hangs her head. she looks at him and just looks. She liked how he looks. He was handsome, cute…kind..she smiles and blushes as she pushes off the barrier alittle. “I jsut want to make sure i am not being rude..” she says as she pulls out her phone to get tickets for the others on the team. @I have Naka to do with it!

"That would be great." He smiled at her as she said she could get him the tickets. She was looking as good as she had the day before. The top clinging tightly to her body and her hair tied up so it didn't get in her way. He had not really been watching her till then, but he was reminded of why he had asked her out so sudden the day before. As she offered to get tickets for the rest of his team he looked over his shoulder. If anything, they had been making fun of him for seeming so 'obsessed' with Emma. Some of them had commented about her great ass as well and he had not liked it one bit. "Nah. I spend plenty of time around those idiots." He chuckled as he turned back to her. "I would honestly rather not." He assured her. "But.." he said thinking about it. "Perhaps you can get me a ticket for my little sister? She is eight. I think she would get a right kick out of watching ice skating." Be smiled at her. @💙Bluey💙

Emma looks at him and smiles. She was glad that he just wanted it to be him. She smiles and nods “of course! I will even get her one of those teddy bears that we get!” She smiles as she text her coach to add a ticket. She hums as the players slowly started to make their way to the ice agian. “Looks like break time is over..” she smiles as she pushes off and puts on her headphones. Being so close to the invitational she was very stressed. She didnt really show it but if Sam looked closely. He would see her hands were shaking. She was very nervous. She ran her show. She was landing everything right. She moves her body and comes up on her final job. She pushes hard and lands it perfectly. She finishes her show and breathes heavily. She rubs her hands though her hair as she pushes to get water. She steps off and one of the other team mates come up to her and they seemed to be talking. Emma tries to moves away but the hockey player grabs her arm. She hits arm as she tries to get away. The player was one of the backups. He had been one of the players that would talk about Emma and her physical features. He was a taller person and could easily overpower the small women. @I have Naka to do with it!

“That would be great, she would love that.” He said with a smile. He could bring her long for Sunday for sure. It had been a while since he had taken his younger sister anywhere, it was a good thing. He took out his phone to text his mom that h would be bringing the girl out on Sunday. Everything started to move again and he looked over his shoulder as she said they should get going. “Yeah, no rest or the wicked.” He chuckled at her before he pushed off again. For the next few minutes he was focused on the game again. He hit everything he needed to and was fast on the ice. He couldn’t let Emma break his concentration all the time. It was not a good thing to do. Just like her he had a goal that he needed to reach. But it wasn’t till he heard a noise coming from the side of the rink that almost sounded like fighting, a raised voice from one of his teammates. He looked up just to see that one of the players had grabbed Emma’s arm and she was pulling to get away from him. He was instantly away from his position, his coach yelling at him for not paying attention to the shot that had come his way. He just threw his hand up. “What the hell are you doing man?!” He yelled at his teammate. He knew it had been bad when all he had been able to talk about was Emma’s ass before. He pushed to the side of the rink, not quite stepping off yet. “Leave her alone, she obviously is not interested.” @💙Bluey💙

The teammate, Mike, scoffs at Sam and says “she is just playing hard to get!” He yells at sam. He lets go of Emma and Emma steps back alittle. “Why do you care? You have never once talk about her with us like we do so why do you care if i touch her?” Mike says. Emma looks at Sam and shakes her head “it is alright…” she says and moves away before she can mike grabs her arm again and she whimpers as he grabs her arm hard. “Come on sweetie lets get out of here..” he says as he tries to pull her away. Emma tries to pull away and her eyes widen with fear as he pulls at her. She tires to get away and at this point the whole team was looking and watching the three. The coach was yelling at the two as mike gets into sam’s face “what are you going to do about it?” @I have Naka to do with it!

The way he was talking about her now made Sam mad. Like she was not even a human being, but someone who should just be happy to be with a fit hockey player. Sure, Mike wasn’t bad looking, used to getting the girls that he wanted. But Emma.. no, he could not have Emma. “Maybe because I am not a fucking asshole that talks about a girls ass the entire evening? Maybe because I am a decent human being with a brain instead of a dick to think with!?” He yelled back at Mike, something that only seems to irritate them. Mike just tsked at him and once more grabbed a hold of Emma. “Come on sweetie, let’s get out of here..” Sam was quick to get off the ice, not caring a single bit about his skates. “Ooh no, you fucking don’t!” He yelled after Mike who turned to him and got right up in his face. “What are you going to do about it?!” Mike yelled back. Sam was absolutely fuming, he didn’t even hear the coach yelling at the back of them telling them to quit it. Before he knew it he had hauled his hand back and the brought it forward with full force, landing it on Mike’s cheek hand enough to send him staggering backwards. In the blow Mike let go of Emma and Sam quickly came in between them. “You are fucking asshole Mike!” He yelled. It didn’t take long for Mike to recover and come at Sam instead. It only lasted another three or so punches from either side when the entire team got between them and pulled them apart. “Have you both lost your goddamn minds?!” Their coach yelled at them. “Mike, back to the ice! Sam, bench. NOW!” Everything now quieted down, everyone well aware that the coach could end their careers if he felt the need to. Sam turned back to Emma giving her an apologetic look. “Just get back on the ice.. it’s okay.” He said to her quickly before he following his coach to the bench. @💙Bluey💙

Emma falls when the men started to fight. She quickly tries to get inbetween them. She was moved away by the other men and she jsut watches everything. Her eyes were wide and she felt so bad. She covers her mouth with her hand. Some of the men come over and makes sure she is alright. Once she said she was they went on the ice. She plays with her fingers as she moves to the ice. She pushes on the ice and just stands there. She doesnt train. She seemed..distant.. She ends up moving off the ice. She takes off her skates and packs her things up. She looks at sam and lowers her eyes. She wipes her eyes and she quickly leaves. She hated this. She gets into her car and drives to her home. Once home she calls her mom and tell her not to bring her dog to the rink but to her home. Her mom drops off her puppy and she just lays on the bed. She curls up and she cries. She could have gotten him hurt…or his career ended in that moment. She looks at her phone and sighs. She jsut wanted to know he was alright. She grabs her phone and text sam. hey…just checking on you…let me know if you are ok? She lays her phone down and pets her puppy. She closes her eyes as she wait. She wait for a answer. Anything. She getting nervous. What if he got kicked off the team. She sits up and pulls her knees to her chest. She grabs her phone and hovers over the call button. She doesnt click it. She just sends another text, if you want to see my puppy…my address is..569 summerview Dr @I have Naka to do with it!

Once he followed his coach to the benches he got an absolute ear full. How dare he attack a fellow member of the team. He had started the fight and his coach had seen that. He should have handled it without violence. But how should he have done that? The way that he had manhandled Emma.. it had not been okay. But in the end nothing he said mattered. He had attacked his team mate and that was unacceptable. In the end he was suspended from the team for the next two weeks and even had to sit out on one of their most important matches next week. He left the rink in a bad mood, mad at himself for letting his emotions get the best of him. Did he regret defending Emma? No.. not at all. Did he regret how he handled it? Perhaps.. Even if hitting Sam in the face had felt goddamn good. He took his car home, back to an empty house while his teammates were still training when he heard his phone go off. The text brought a bit of a smile to his face. The fact that she was checking in made him feel a bit better. Yeah, I am fine. You? He considered telling her he had been suspended, but he didn’t want to make her feel bad. So instead he decided to keep it to himself for now. When that second text came in he chuckled even more. “Just giving out your address like that huh?” He chuckled at himself. He took a deep breath and got in a quick shower, not wanting to stink from his training. He dressed in jeans and a sweather before picking up his jacket. On my way. @💙Bluey💙

Emma looks at her phone and text back. she sighs as she texts. I am ok...see you soon she gets up from her bed and cleans up her room and living area. she hums softly as she cleans. she had music on and she was singing. her home was a single store home. she had a small backyard, a drivway and a pouch that had a small swing. her home looked like she lived in a fairytale. her home was in a small quiet area that alot of older people lived in. she had a bunch of plants that were at her front door. they were all healthy and taken care off. once he gets there , there would be a small ring door bell. if he rang the bell or knocked on the door, she would come and open the door. she smiles and says "hi...come on in.." she says as she welcome him in. the inside of the house looked as put together as the outside. she leads him into the living area and she opens the back door. a small puppy come running in. the puppy was a young assuie sherpard. she had bright blue eyes and her fur was multiple colors. she smiles as she says "this is remi.." she smiles as she grabs the puppy and holds him back alittle. "how are you...did you..did you get introuble.." she asks softly. she needed to know. she might not want know but she needed to know. "i am sorry if you did..you didnt have to come to me...i am sorry.." she had tears in her eyes as her guilt was showing. @I have Naka to do with it!

(( her home ))

SPOILER

The whole drive to Emma’s house, Sam was just contemplating what he had done. Had it been worth it? He decided it had been. Mike was an asshole and he had deserved to be put in his place for a long time. Touching Emma had just been his final mistake and finally he had gotten punished for it. Just sucked that Sam had to take the bad part of it. Mike deserved a suspension just as much. The bad part was going to be telling his dad.. but he decided to focus on that another time. He pulled up to her house and pulled his jacket over his shoulders as he walked up to it. It was small, but it looked adorable. “Very fitting.” He chuckled. He rang the doorbell and as he saw her his mood was instantly lifted, a smile back on his face. “Hey.” He took his shoes off out of respect and then walked into the small house. It looked nice, kind of how he had expected it. “Nice place.” When she opened the back door and the puppy ran in he instantly went into his knees on the ground. She held him back and he instantly motioned for her to let him go. He was soon attacked by the small thing, it’s tongue trying to lick over his face. Sam just held him down. “Well hello there! Remi huh? Look at you! Are you a good boy?!” He cooed the dog as he put him on his back to pet over his belly while laughing. “How are yo.. did you.. did you get in trouble..?” He looked back up at her, his smile fading a little bit, but before he could even answer she almost started to cry. He got back up to his feet and walked over to her as he gently petted over her hair. “Hey don’t cry. I know I didn’t have to come to you, but I wanted too okay? Mike had no reason to treat you that way.” He assured her. But he also knew that he could not keep his suspension a secret. “I got suspended for two weeks, games included. But!” He quickly added before she could speak. “That means I can make it to your invitationals on Saturday!” Trying to give it a positive twist. @💙Bluey💙

Emma looks at him and tears fall from her eyes. She wipes her eyes and shakes her head. She just moves to the small coach and whimpers. “God…i am sorry…” she says softly as she hides her face. She felt so bad. Remi jumps onto the coach and licks her hands to try and make her feel better. “I am sorry samual…” she says as she looks at him. Her eyes red and puffy with tears. “I am sorry..” she breaks down crying. Emma never wanted him to get suspended from the team. She didnt mean for that to happen. She picks remi up and hugs him. He licks her face and whimpers slightly knowing that she is upset. “I dont care that you can come to my invitationals…you are suspended! I got you suspended!!” She yells as she covers her eyes and cries. Her body was shaking slightly. “I am sorry…i didnt mean too..” she cries as she curls up on the seat. @I have Naka to do with it!

( @I have Naka to do with it! POKE)

"Hey hey.." he would say the moment that she seemed to be starting to choke up on herself. He saw the pup instantly turning around and trying to force it's way into her lap as it whined softly at her sudden emotion. Sam just stood there for a moment, unsure of what to do as he watched it happen. He was not the best with the emotional stuff, especially not when a girl cried. But he knew that he had to try and at least comfort her. So he sat down next to her on the couch and rubbed over her shoulder and back. "Look. You did nothing okay? It was goddamn Mike who did something, you hear me?" he said to her as he tried to calm her down. "It is only a two week suspension, I will be back on the ice in no time at all." he assured her as he tried to keep his voice chipper for her sake. "I would really rather sit out on the team for the next two weeks then watch that asshole take advantage of you." he assured her. "So.. stop crying!" he said, but with a chuckle to his words. "I didn't get suspended to watch you cry." @💙Bluey💙

Emma looks at him and nods. She wipes her eyes and holds her puppy. The puppy thrashes before setting down and sighing. “I am sorry…I…”. She blushes before she stands up and says “i will make sure to get you front seat tickets..” she says with a smile before moving to her kitchen. She lets her puppy out into the backyard and then says “you want anything? Drinks? Food? You are probably hungry from practice..” she says as she digs though her fridge. She hums lightly as she wipes her eyes stilling feeling bad. She brings out some food. Fruit, veggies, and dip. “There we go..” she says softly as she grabs a sparkling water and grabs a cup and fills with ice. “If you want the day of my invitational you can drive with me…I am going in my own car.” She says softly just as a suggestion. She bites into the strawberry and sighs. “God this is good..” she says as she lets her puppy back in. She tells him to sit and then gives him a strawberry. @I have Naka to do with it!
