Your best friend, Alec Martinez, invited you to a family skate because he had always considered you as a part of his family. You had met all of his teammates already, and had a crush on one in particular. Jordan Nolan. Alec knew about your crush, and would tease you relentlessly.
"Alec, you better not embarrass me in front of Jordan today." You warn him.
"I don't understand why you don't just tell him how you feel. You never know, he might just feel the same way about you." Alec says.
"It's not that simple. Whenever I'm interested in a guy, he never feels the same." You tell him.
"Fine, be stubborn. Get your skates on and let's get out to the ice."
After putting your skates on, you follow Alec to the ice and begin to skate around. You mingle with the other players and their families. You normally would be talking to Jordan right now, but Alec is currently talking to him. You didn't want him to embarrass you in front of Jordan, so you avoid them for now.
When the family skate is over, you can't find Alec anywhere and he's your ride home. You walk around a corner and see that he's talking to Jordan again. They haven't noticed you yet, but you hear Alec say your name, so you go back around the corner and eavesdrop.
"So, what do you think of Y/N? I saw you checking her out during the skate." Alec says to him.
"I wasn't checking her out." Jordan denies.
"Whatever, you definitely were. You know, she'd be pretty good girlfriend material." Alec brings up, bless his soul.
"Alec, stop trying to set me up with her. I just don't think she would fit in with all the other girlfriends and wives. She's pretty, but she's not the kind of girl that should date a hockey player." He tells Alec, and your heart breaks.
"I still think you like her." Alec dead pans. Jordan just sighs, and you can hear their foot steps getting closer. You quickly walk away and find Alec's car, waiting for him. You try not to cry as you wait.
When Alec finally gets to the car he tells you, "I'm inviting some of the guys over tonight, you should come. Jordan will be there" Suddenly, you feel angry that Jordan doesn't think you're good enough for him.
"Okay, I'll be there." You say determinedly.
That night, you arrive at Alec's place to see Tyler, Tanner, Anze, and Jordan are already there. You say hi to everyone, but give Jordan the cold shoulder. You start pleasant conversations with all of the guys except for him, and pretty much pay attention to everyone else besides him.
"I'm going to grab a drink, I'll be back." You say and head to the kitchen for a beer. Someone enters the kitchen behind you, and you know it's Jordan.
"Y/N, are we okay? You haven't talked to me at all today." Jordan asks nervously. You turn around and glare at him.
"I'm sorry, I thought I wasn't good enough to talk to you." You say, voice filled with venom. His eyes show sudden realization, and he tries to explain.
"You weren't supposed to hear any of that conversation." He says lamely.
"Well I did. And now I know what I am to you." You say, pushing past him trying to leave the kitchen. He grabs your hand and pulls you back. Pushing you up against the fridge, faces inches apart he says,
"No, you don't know what you are to me. You are beautiful, and intelligent. You always make me happy and can make me laugh at my worst times. To me, you are perfect." He finishes quietly. You just stand there, still pressed up against the fridge, almost speechless.
"Then why did you say what you did?" You ask sadly.
"Because, you're too good for me. You could offer me so much more than I could offer you." Jordan admits.
"I don't care what you could offer me. If it means being with you, then I don't need anything else." You whisper. He stares at you, then his eyes flicker to your lips. He leans in and touches his lips to yours. He deepens the kiss when you don't pull away. Your hands travel to his hair, and his hands grip your waist strongly.
"What's taking so long, you gu-" Alec stops mid sentence at the sight in front of him. You both pull away quickly, and you step away from the fridge, blushing terribly.
It's silent for a moment before Alec finally speaks up, "I so knew you liked her." Is all he says before leaving the kitchen.
"We should go back out there." You tell him and start to leave. He grabs your hand gently, stopping you from leaving.
"Hey, wait a second. Um... Will you be my girlfriend?" He asks nervously. You grin,
"Yes. Now can we go back out there before Alec tells everyone we are having sex in here?" You joke. Jordan chuckles and nods. He keeps his hand in yours and you walk back out the party.
