I shouldn’t be nervous. This is Luca.My Luca.But he doesn’t know what I’m about to do.
Since the hockey game where I exposed myself and confessed my love for him, I’ve been waiting. Every time we got the chance to see each other, other than through a screen, I expected him to ask again, but he never did. I’ve met his entire family and they love me. I love them too.
His sister Nessa took me in and gave me all the embarrassing details of Luca’s childhood. His nieces gave me a bag of scrunchies to match my “Ariel hair.”
Their mother, Brienne, is planning a move to San Jose from Seattle for a job she got, and I promised to help wherever she needs once I graduate and move myself to San Jose.
Luca also officially met Peter as my dad and the rest of the family. Peter helped me get on the ice that night, and we all met the next day for brunch. I gained two whole families in the past few months.
And yet, no other sign of a ring. Did he just make it all up to get my reaction?
I didn’t even want the damn thing and now it’s all I can think about.
I’ve officially graduated, but I’m skipping the ceremony to surprise Luca for their Stanley cup qualifying game. The series between San Jose and Vegas is tied, and the winner goes to the Stanley Cup finals to face New York. If they lose, we’ll be in Vegas to drown his sorrows in the suite I splurged on. If they win, well then, we celebrate in the same suite fucking either way.
Luca is laser focused when he gets onto the ice to warm up. The crowd boos the team, but there’s a few fans here to cheer them on, including the loudest of all… me.
“Woo!” I shout, but there are too many guys crowding around the bench to get a good look at the team.
Standing up on the arms of the chairs, I look out and wait for Luca to get closer. He’s all the way on the other side of the ice, talking to Remy. These guys have quickly taken him in and have become his family. No one can resist Luca’s playful charm.
He takes a shot against his goalie and comes skating around, giving me the perfect opportunity to get his attention.
With a loud whistle, I wave my arms, but he barely looks up.
“Luca!” I scream and jump, making a fool of myself.
He finally looks up. Our eyes meet for one quick second before my foot slips off the armrest. My ankle twists and I fall down onto the chairs and my ass hits the concrete floor.
Gasps ring out around me and I’m afraid to look around to face my embarrassment.
“Move.” I hear Luca’s voice and a commotion of pads and skates moving towards me. “Kandace?”
“Surprise,” I groan up at him, trying to untangle myself from between the seats.
He crouches down beside me, easily untangles my shoe, and lifts me into his arms. Carrying me back through the crowd and through the door to sit on the players’ bench.
“Lucky, bitch.” I hear a woman grumble as we pass.
That’s right, be jealous.
My sexy hunk carefully sits me down and looks me over. Once he sees I’m not in any kind of pain, his gloved hands cup my face before he smashes his lips onto mine.
“You’re fucking nuts,” he whispers against me and taps the four inch spiked heels on my feet.
I was going for sexy fuck me heels to give him an image of me in them and his jersey I’m sporting.
“I missed you.” I shrug and give him another peck.
“Are you ok, little lady?” The team’s physician comes next to us to check on me.
“I’m fine, just a bruised ass.”
“I’ll take care of that later.” Luca winks.
“Kandi,” Peter shakes his head as he emerges to the bench next. “Come, we’re up in the suites.”
I knew that, but I wanted Luca to see me first before I headed up there to watch the game.
