The next week flew by and I couldn't stop thinking about this guy and how hot he could make me. I hadn't heard from him and just figured he was probably busy. My hubby ended up with some hockey tickets for Saturday so I figured that would be a good distraction to keep this guy off my mind.
We had some friends with great seats that were 3 rows behind the St. Louis Blues players bench. I was sitting there drinking my beer watching the crowd and then I saw the players start to file out of the locker room over to my right.
I know a few of the guys finally from going to some of the games like Pronger, Young, Turgeon, and McGinnes but honestly I still don't know over half the players on the team.
The first period was pretty routine nothing too exciting. Anyway, the period ends and the guys start to get up from the bench and walk down toward the locker room. I am kind of absently looking at the players as they file down the aisle which is like 6 feet from me or so and I see this one player looking straight up at me.
Most of the guys kind of hold their heads down but lift their hands for all the kids who run up to touch them. I look back at this guy as he gets closer and OMFG...I about pee in my pants...it is him...my stranger from the ice rink. I about choke on my beer and he gives me this big sexy smile and then about the same time my hubby leans over and kisses my cheek and my strangers smile turns to a frown.
He disappeared at that point into the locker room. I got up excused myself from my husband and our two friends and went to the ladies room. I threw some water on my face cause it was all flushed and red.
I thought I was going to throw up. I couldn't believe this was happening to me. I felt so stupid when I realized no wonder the kids at the rink always waved at him. Hell they all knew he was a St. Louis Blues Hockey player. I am so damn blonde sometimes.
Then I started to giggle thinking what the hell have I gotten myself into. I walked around for a few minutes, grabbed another beer and walked back out to our seats. My husband smiled at me and asked if I was ready for round two. I smiled and could only say I hoped so.
The buzzer went off and the teams started to come out onto the ice gain. I saw my stranger walk out past me and climb onto the ice. He joined the line of the other players skating around the rink. I had hoped he would show some indication toward me but he didn't.
The music in the Savvis center was pretty loud and then they slowed it down and I almost died when the song my stranger and I had made love to was being played over the speaker. I sucked in my breath feeling a little shiver across my body and I looked at him and suddenly two piercing green eyes met mine.
He didn't look happy or upset...just intense. Suddenly the music turned off and the organ began to play the typical hockey intro music just as the buzzer went off and the guys lined up to start the game.
He sat down on the bench but didn't look back at me as the game resumed play. When it was time for his line to go out on the ice. I noticed how he was aggressive and really pushing guys into the boards. He was a really physical player for offense.
I wasn't the only one who noticed him. I overheard my hubby and his two friends commenting on how my guy was really wound up tonight. He ended up getting an assist and one goal that period as well as a nice cut lip and God knows what other bruises.
My guy once again appeared focused and went out to the ice. I was sitting next to the rail where the players enter and exit and I felt something tugging on my pant leg at the ankle. I looked down and it was the security guy who usually stands there.
