Cardiac Arrest

Chapter Eight: The Conversations ***REVISED***

As soon as I got home, I called Adrienne. I told her all about the date.

"Wow, don't you think you guys are going a little fast?"

"I guess. Maybe a little. Don't worry. I can slow it down."

"Alright. So what else happened?!"

"Well, after we talked, we went skinny dipping."

"WHAT?!" She yelled. "Tell me everything! Does he have a good body?!"

"Oh, wayyyy good. It was really cold and dark. We were splashing each other a lot. It was really fun. He caught me staring a couple times."

"Sounds romantic. Are you gonna see him tomorrow?"

"Yeah. Speaking of tomorrow, I should probably get to bed. See ya."

I woke up the next morning, got a shower, and head out the door. Another day at quite possibly the best job on earth.

When I arrived at the UC, the guys were already down on the ice practicing. The season started soon, and their first game was at Dallas. Unfortunately, I only got to photograph the home games and the conventions. Boo.

"Hey, JFK," a familiar voice said behind me. "Ready to get some shots of this beaut?" Pat said, pointing to himself.

"Haha. Sure."

Practice was fun, I got some good shots. I don't get to upload them to the site though, since it's only practice. I'm really only here to get used to atmosphere and using the cameras.

Later, I went home and was pretty bored. I decided to text Patrick.

*Hey, what's up? I'm bored* I said.

*Just who I was hoping would text me. And nothin. Just chillin with Jonny.*

Oh boy, this conversation was going downhill already. It was pretty easy to talk to Patrick over text, I didn't have his beautiful ice blue eyes looking at me all the time, and I also had time to think to answer him.

*Sounds like a pretty great time. You excited for the first game?*

*Hell yeah. Just wish my favorite photographer could be there to snap some pics of me.*

*Favorite? Are you sure you're not talking about Kate?* I joked.

*Of course not. She isn't as fun as you ;)*

*I must be pretty fun, since I went on a date with the one and only PKane*

*Yeah, I'm kinda a big deal. ;) Are you gonna be at practice tomorrow?*

*No, I won't be back until your home game next week*

*Damnit. I wanna see you. How about Friday?*

*Alright, I'll see if I can fit you in on my busy schedule. (; I'll pick the place this time.*

*Sorry babe, I already have somethin planned.*

*Oh?* My attempt at being confident and cool just fell through.

*Yeah, it's a surprise again. See ya at 8 on Friday.*

I called Adrienne and told her all about my soon to be second date with Pat. I was so excited I couldn't sleep.
