We figured eventually they would leave and head back to the hotel, When I say this I mean Elena. As I expected they had. I prepared myself for fighting between his parents and him when we walked through the door. Inside no one was there, just a note saying that they had gone out to lunch and Elena's parents were meeting them afterwords. They also expected Evgeni to meet them at the restaurant. Since I had made plans with the girls, he decided that he would go. We both got ready and pulled out of the drive way one after the other. Him taking the porsce (against my will) and I ended up taking the Escalade.

I met the girls at TGI Fridays at Robinson a favorite of mine for lunch. I couldnt wait to tell them what this mornings evens had brought. The girls were all smiles as usual when I saw them walk through the doors over to the table that Heather and I had previously been sitting at before going to get a picture with a young fan who I had remembered from the games.(She was Evgeni's BIGGEST fan) Soon after we ordered everyone was looking at me when Vero snapped me out of my daze.

"Are you okay? Something seems wrong."

"Yeah. But there is something it isnt nesicarilly wrong though."

"Geno?"

"Yeah that obvious."

"Well when you order sex on the beach instead of a beer yeah its obvious."

"I know. But Elena, Geno's BFF from back home an her family are in town."

"So?"

"We both came to the conclusion that his parents want them together." I took a sip of my drink.

"Oh damm. You are always the one that someone seems to always try an ruin things for."

"I know. Just my luck right?"

After a few more drinks, and a great lunch with the girls I was in a great mood. I couldnt wait to get home. We said our goodbyes and drove off in all directions.

I drove straight home hoping Evgeni would be there waiting...No such luck. i texted him saying I was gonna go check out the mall if he wanted could meet me there. It was about a hour, hour and a half before he texted me back.

'Just left dinner, drank alittle just gonna head home.'

I would have been there waiting if I hadnt ran into Jordan and Max who invited me to help them get some new clothes that actually looked NORMAL! For a change. I gladly accepted and went off to help them. Well mainly Max because maybe if he actually looked good for once that he could find a girl that may take him serious and want him for him.

I knew my mother had to have something planned I didnt want to worry C so I instead decided that I wouldnt say anything to her about it. When I walked over to the very large table I noticed there were enough menus to serve six. I looked to my father who's eyes were full of epithy as my mother motioned for me to sit down.

"What happened to just the three of us?"

"I didnt plan this if that is what you are saying." I sat down. "They were unable to get reservations for they dont have a known name they wanted to try this place for they had heard so many great things as have I."

"Well I will stay as long as there is no funny buisness."

"Alright."

Soon enough I heard her eccentric voice coming from behind me I turned around an there she was. Standing even taller with her stilletos on. Instead of the skirt she now had on nice very flattering sun dress with her hair in curls. Like from when we were younger. I remeber sitting on the floor at her house staring up at the ceiling playing with those bouncy natural curls of hers after a long, hard day of practice. They were so calming to me, I would go to her for everything then slowly Hockey drug me away from back home and from her. Before Oksana I had wanted so badly for her to be mine. The one that I would always have at my side in times of need. I always pictured it being Elena. Who would have thought that the girl I now picture holding my kids standing at the front door after I returned from a really long road trip be a girl I would have never met if it wasnt for Hockey.
