Seven

I was laying in bed when I heard my door open.
"Hey." I said.
"Hey. Sorry, did I wake you?"
"No. I was up."
"Oh, okay. Did you spend the whole night here?" he asked me.
"Yeah, I came here around 10:30, and you were sleeping."
"Why did you sleep here?"
"Because I didn't want to sleep on the couch."
"You could of came in my room."
I smiled at him. "Really?"
"Yeah, It's not like I would mind."

We got up and walked into the kitchen. "When do you have to leave for practice?" I asked.
"In about a half an hour. You can leave whenever you want."
"Okay."
"Want some french toast?"
"No. I'm not hungry yet. I'll eat a little later."
"Okay." he said sitting down and starting to eat.

He got ready for practice and was about to leave.
"I have to go." he said.
"Okay, bye." I said smiling and kissing him.
"Bye. I'll text you when I'm going to pick you up for lunch." he said smiling and walked out the door.

I stayed at Kris' for a little while longer before going home.
"Where were you?" my dad asked me when I walked in the door.
Shit. "Kris'"
"I don't want you to spend the night there, Carissa."
"Why not? You were fine with it before."
"I know, but you two weren't together then."
"So? Nothing has changed. Nothing is going to happen. I promise."
"Fine, Carissa. I trust you. I trust Kris, too. Don't ruin it."
"I won't dad." I said giving him a hug.

"Hey." I said answering my phone. It was now around eleven-thirty.
"Hey!" Kris said.
"How was practice?"
"Good. I think we have a better chance tonight."
"That's good. Are you on your way?"
"Yup. I'm going to be there in a couple minutes. You ready?"
"Yeah. Where are we eating?"
"I was thinking of this one small cafe. Sound good?"
"Perfect. See you in a bit."
"Bye!"

I hung up and waited for Kris to pull in. I walked out to the car when I saw him pull in.
"Hey." I said getting in the car.
"Hey!" he said kissing my cheek.
"What's with you?" I asked him.
"What do you mean?"
"You seem really hyper."
"Je suis hyper. Merci." I am hyper. Thank you.
"Ahh.. ok quoi que." I said laughing. okay whatever.
He laughed. "Vous rappelez-vous du français, maintenant?" You remember some French, now?
"Oui. J'en ai étudié. Ainsi, je me rappelle maintenant." Yes. I studied some. So, I remember now.
"Bon." good.

When we got to the restaurant we both got out and I walked behind Kris. "Oh come on! Walk faster!" I yelled.
"No!" he said smiling.
I put my hands and my forehead on his back, and tried making him walk faster, which didn't workout. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going. Soon Kris stopped, and before I knew what was going on his arms were around me.
"Whoa. What are you doing?" I asked.
He laughed, "Were here."
"Oh," I said trying to get away. I sighed when I he wasn't moving. "Are you going to let me go?"

He smiled and kissed me on the forehead, while letting me go.
"So, are you going to ride with your dad to the game?" he asked me during lunch.
"Yeah. Who else would I ride with?"
"Well.. I was kinda hoping you would ride with me?"
"Are you sure? I mean, we've only been dating for like two days. Everyone will know about us."
"Yeah, but I'm not like Sid. No one cares if I'm dating someone."
I laughed, "I think there are some people who do care about you."
"Yeah, maybe. But, seriously. Will you?"
"Yeah, I will."
"Okay, want to come to my house like, a half an hour before we have to leave?"
"Yeah, I'll be there."

We soon left and was at my house. I invited Kris to come in for a while before he had to leave to take a nap and things before the game.
"Hi, Kris." my dad said when we walked into the door.
"Hi, Ray."
"Are you ready for tonight?"
"Yeah, I think we will do better."
"Good, I like your attitude." he said laughing before walking into the kitchen, and Kris and I went up to my room.

"So, what do you want to do?" Kris said sitting on my bed, and turning on the tv.
I laid on the bed next to him. "Just lay here." I said into my bed.
He laughed. "Come here." he said and put his arms out.
I looked up and smiled at him before snuggling into him.

I put my hand on his thigh. He grabbed my hand and laced his fingers with mine. A while later I looked at the clock. "I think It's time for you to go." I said.
He sighed and looked at the clock. "Yeah, I'll see you later." he said getting up.
"Bye." I said.
"Bye." he said leaning down and kissing my lips.

"Hey." I said walking down after Kris left.
"Hi." my mom said, "Was that Kris?"
"Yeah, I'm going to ride with him to the game."
"Okay, are you going to sit in the box with us?"
"Yeah."
"You want to go shopping with me before we have to get home?" she asked grabbing her purse.
"Yeah, sure. Let me go get my shoes."

"So, you haven't told me a lot about Kris, so tell me about him." my mom said as we were walking around the mall.
"What about him?"
"I don't know. What does he do for the team, something."
"He's a defenceman."

"Has he changed your mind about hockey?"
"I don't know, I guess. It's still not one of my favorite sports. I'm a basketball and baseball person, you know that. But, I'm at least enjoying it now."
"That's good. How old is he?"
"Twenty-two."
"Where's he from?"
"Um. Montreal. Are you almost done with twenty questions?"
"Yes, just one more question."
"What is it?"

"Do you love him?"
"What!"
"Do you love him?"
"We've only been dating for a couple of days. Of coarse, I don't."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, mom. Why are you asking this?"
"Because you just seemed really happy with him."
"Well, yeah. Of coarse I'm going to be happy. I was always happy when I was with him. He was my best friend before he was my boyfriend."
"Okay."


We let out a sigh of relief. We just won our first game. I really didn't want to admit it. But, I was getting into hockey. We got up and went down to go to the locker room. I walked in and felt a pair of arms go around me.
"Hey!" Max yelled.
I laughed. "Hey. Good job."

"Thanks! Hey, come here."
"Why?"
"I want you to meet Vero."
"Marc's girlfriend."
"Oh, why?"
"Because he loves her!" he said smiling.

"That's not what I meant." I said rolling my eyes.
"I know. Because since you are Kris girlfriend now. I figured you should hang out with the girlfriends." he started whispering. "But, I don't think you will like Geno's girlfriend. No offence to her though, I like her."
I laughed. "You like all girls."
"Yeah, yeah. Now come on!"


"Vero!" he yelled.
She turned around. "Hi." she said smiling.
"This is Carissa, Kris' girlfriend. Carissa, this is Vero, Marc's girlfriend."
"Hi." I said smiling at her.
"Nice to meet you." she said.
"You two."


We talked for a little bit more and then I went to find Kris.
"Hey, good job." I said kissing him quickly.
"Thanks." he said smiling.
"You ready?" he asked me.
"Yeah, your ready already? Wow!"
"Shut up." he said playfully pushed me.
I smiled, "Let's go."
He smiled back, and put his arm around me. I put my arm around him and snuck my hand in his back pocket. He looked down at me, and I just leaned up and kissed his cheek.


We got into the car, and started driving.
"Hey, do you mind if I just stay at your place tonight. I'm too tired to go home." I asked.
He laughed. "Of coarse I don't mind."
"Okay, cool."
"Hey, um. I'm going to breakfast with Chris. Then dinner with Vero. She apparently wants to get to know me." I said laughing.
"Okay."

We got to his house and watched TV till 930.
"I'm going to go to bed."
"Okay, go in my room."
I smiled. "Okay."
I got in his bed. Which was really comfortable. I felt the bed shift next to me, and felt Kris put his arm around me. I smiled to myself. "Goodnight." I said.
"Goodnight, babe."
I smiled at him calling me babe and fell asleep.
