Sweet - L.Hughes

ONE - WORK OUT

I was so embarrassed I could die right now

The two of them were talking through the glass and I sat there quietly very embarrassed

"We came as a birthday thing for her actually" Kayla told him and he looked over to me "when's your birthday" he asked "it's in like a month but hockey season would be over so it's early" I told him "oh, well happy early birthday" he said not breaking eye contact "thank you" I smiled

"What's y'all's names?" He asked before I broke eye contact looking at Kayla

"Kayla" the girl to my right says "I'm Trinity, you?" I replied with a small smile "I'm Luke" he answers returning the smile

"I gotta go but have a nice night" he says the two of us said bye and he skated off to warm up

"He's into you" Kayla said once he was gone "what?" I laughed "I literally said like two sentences to him" I added "yeah but they way he was eyeing you, he wants you" she nodded "you're so annoying" I put my head in my hands "what?! How" she looked at me jaw dropped "making me think I have a chance" I shook my head and she rolled our eyes

The game went on and the Devils won 6-2 against buffalo

It was a great game for us and after the game, I went to my parent's house to say hi and then I called my brother to see if he was home but he said he was at a sports bar and for me and Kayla to come

"Wait he can buy us drinks it's literally a restaurant they won't ID us to get in" Kayla tells me when we get in the car

I'm 18 and Kayla's 20 neither of us is allowed in a bar or club but a sports bar is different because it is a restaurant

"I'm not gonna drink tonight I gotta drive us back" I told her "ok imma drink though" she said as I started the car and started my drive

We made it to the bar and found him right away

"Heyy" I sing hugging my brother "hey Trinny long time no see. Hey Kayla" my brother said as we got out of the hug

"Hey" Kayla smiled at him "Can you buy me a drink? I'll pay you back" she asked him "Yeah sure but if you get in trouble that's on you" he said and she nodded

She told him what drink she wanted and he went to get it

The two of us were sitting in a booth waiting when we saw about 15-20 guys walk in together

My jaw dropped when I recognized them

"What?" Kayla asked seeing my face, when I didn't respond she turned around and saw what I saw "there is actually no way" she laughed

I spotted Luke and I guess he saw me too

I waved at him saying hi and he came over "Hey" I smiled up at him "Hey, what a coincidence we see each other again" Luke replied looking down at the two of us

"Yeah for real, what a win tonight though, you played great" I told him and he smiled thanking me

My brother came not long after they gave each other looks and my brother was like smirking and laughing a little

Odd

My brother sat next to Kayla

"Do you wanna sit?" I asked him moving over and he sat next to me

He wasn't with us long before he had to go back to his team

"Can I get your number?" He asked me holding out his phone  "yeah" I smiled taking his phone and putting in my number and name

"I'll text you later" he told me "alright, have a good night" I smiled "you too, bye guys" he said before leaving

Kayla and I were freaking the fuck out

"Oh my god you have to date him" Kayla tells me "if he asks me" I told her "you know I used to play with him and his brother at Umich?" My brother brought up

"Yeah I used to go to your games" I told him "Wait you played with Quinn Hughes?" Kayla looked over at Joey "yeah only for a year" he shrugged "wait you played with Luke? How come I never met him" I exclaimed "he didn't really go out much like the rest of us did" My brother shrugged

I'm so confused

The rest of the night the three of us just talked and had fun before I drove me and Kayla back to our apartment

It wasn't far it was only about half an hour
