My Hockey Alpha

Nina

As the crowd cheered over our victory, Enzo sat up with a smile stretched across his face. He wasn’t looking at the scoreboard, though. He was looking at me.

Before I could resist, Enzo Rivers reached out and cupped my face in his hands, pulling me toward him and kissing me firmly on the lips in front of the entire school. When he finally pulled away, I felt my face go red as I realized that we were still being projected on the large screen that hung over the stadium.

“You’re mine now,” Enzo said, his voice sounding somewhat stern. I could only nod, too bashful to speak.

Enzo stood, the injury to his head having already healed, and helped me to my feet. The crowd erupted into a mixture of cheers and boos as he slipped his hands under me and scooped me up into his arms, twirling me around on his skates while his team jumped and cheered for their victory

Finally, after what felt like an eternity,

Enzo skated with me to the edge of the rink and set me down.

“You’re coming to the party, right?” he said.

I blushed, feeling the eyes of the students on me as they began to flood out of the arena. “I was just gonna go home–”

“No way,” Enzo interrupted. “You’re coming to the party Wait here for me and I’ll take you.”

I didn’t have a chance to protest before the rest of the team got off the ice and surrounded Enzo, cheering and shouting over their victory I watched as they ushered him to the locker rooms, letting out a big sigh once they were out of sight.

“So, you and Enzo, huh?” Tiffany said, catching up to me as I walked over to the bleachers. “Took you two long enough.”
