Coles pov

We just finished the game and now I'm slowly changing out of my gear just thinking and letting the high of the game sink in still. We won ten to nothing a good majority of those shots done by me or assisted by me. We have tvs in our locker room so it showed the dance teams routines during the intermissions and no surprise my eyes were drawn to Lauren again cause she is a really talented dancer. I also couldn't help but notice her watching me from time to time throughout the night which made me smirk. I finally finished changing and walked out and I saw a few of the dancers still hanging around.
Girl1- hi Cole you did such a great job tonight
C- thanks
Girl2- we'd love to go out and celebrate with you
C- thanks girls but not tonight Id like to unwind on my own this time but how about you give me your numbers and we can arrange something down the line
Girls- ok
They all gave me their numbers then I walked away to my car and drove home. Before I went inside I headed over to Lauren's.
L- what do you want
C- whoa what happened to the smiley cheerful you that I saw a little bit ago
L- that changed the second you appeared on my doorstep
C- ouch and here I thought we could celebrate tonight's win
L- you want to celebrate a preseason win
C- hey a wins a win
L- yeahhh but if I'm going to slum it and spend time with you it needs to be something worthy to celebrate
C- so what you saying when we win the first game of the actual season
L- it's a step in the right direction but not a guarantee
C- when we win the Stanley Cup
L- getting a little ahead of yourself don't you think
C- no cause I know my abilities
L- and there's that ego again
C- you know your team you know they can do it
L- I know
C- then what do you say is it a date when we win that
L- nope
And with that she slammed the door in my face. I sighed and walked away I honestly should've seen that coming!
