My Hockey Alpha

Chapter 131 Part of the Team

Nina

We decided to go to the sports bar in town to celebrate Enzo’s victory. I walked along with the rest of the team, but trailed behind with Lori, Jessica, and Luke, who had also all decided to come. All we were missing in our friend group was James; if only I knew where he was and could trust that his intentions were good.

“I have to ask,” Jessica said quietly as we walked behind the rest of the group, “What’s going on with you and Enzo?”

I felt myself blush and I shrugged, not wanting to go into detail on the specifics of our relationship. How could I possibly explain that I was falling madly in love with a boy who was engaged to be wed to a mystery woman?

So, instead, I shook my head. “Nothing’s going on,” I said. “We’re just friends, as always.”

Lori scoffed. “Yeah, sure,” she said in a mocking, but not unfriendly, tone of voice. “I see how you two look at each other.”

I only blushed harder. Lori and Jessica didn’t pry again.

When we arrived at the bar, it was dimly lit and packed to the brim. A local band was playing live music, and as the team walked in, some of the regulars who had watched the game on the TV pounced on them to congratulate them on their victory.

Once everyone settled down enough, we found a table in the corner and all squeezed in together. Some of the team mingled, but Enzo, Matt, Lori, Jessica, Luke, and I all stayed together.

“I’m buying us a round,” Enzo said, emanating an attractive amount of confidence as he gestured for the bartender to bring us a round. The team cheered, and I couldn’t help but smile. For once, it felt like we were just a bunch of college students celebrating a hockey victory. I decided, then and there, that I wouldn’t think about anything else tonight. Just for tonight, I would pretend that we were normal college kids leading a normal, happy life.

The bartender brought us our beers. Enzo picked up his glass and held it up to make a toast.

“To our last game as a team,” he said. “For now, at least.”
