"Y/N, your working in the stick section this morning" you boss told you in the morning meeting

"Okay" you said before walking out of the room

You worked at Pro Hockey Life, it wasn't exactly your dream job, but you were going into your 4th year of college studying education. You didn't mind working at hockey life since hockey is your number one sport so you knew a lot about it.

It was 9am and the store had just opened you knew that customers wouldn't start pouring in until around noon. But for some reason someone came in right as the doors opened. Out of the 5 years you've worked here you've never seen this happen.

The customer came into the stick section and just started looking around, picking up sticks and checking their flexibility. You watch the very tall man for a few seconds until walking up to him.

"Hi, would you like help with anything or are you just looking around" you said

"Ugh, just looking around at the moment" he said giving you eye contact

"Okay, if you need anything my name is Y/N"

You then walked away and continued doing your own thing. After about 10 more minutes or so the customer walked out of the store.

"Is it just me or did he look really familiar" you said to one of your co-workers

"No you're not the only one" they replied

***

"Y/N you okay to close" your boss asked you as they where getting ready to leave

"Yea sure" you said

It wasn't a super busy day so there wasn't much to clean up. So after everyone left you looked around the store to make sure everything was in its place then you headed out the door. Just as you where locking the door a car pulled up in the parking lot. The same tall man from this morning got out.

"shit" he said as he ran up to the door

"come back tomorrow at 9" you said as you walked away towards your car

***

The next morning you were opening the store so you got there pretty early. Your boss told you that you were working in the stick section again. So before you took your place near the sticks you unlocked the doors. Just as you started walking towards your place the door opened. You turned around to see the tall man walking towards the sticks once again and once again you walked up to him.

"would you like any help or are you just looking around" you asked him

"actually I was wondering if I could try out this stick" he said as he held up the stick that was in his hand

"alright follow me" you said as you walked over to the shooting box

you quickly set everything up then dropped a bucket of pucks beside him. He tipped it over letting the pucks fall out and also making it easier to scoop the pucks out with the stick. He then lined up some and started taking shots. You watched as 98% of the pucks went into the net, you were just so amazed at how hard of a shot he had and how he was just really good.

"wow, you're really good" you complemented him

he smiled "thanks, and I think I'll get this stick" he said heading to the door

"okay, I'll help you" you said as you two walked to the other side of the store to the cash registers

After he payed for the stick he grabbed it off the counter and walked out of the store.

***

"Y/N I'm going to need you to close up again today" you boss told you

"that's fine" you replied

It was finally closing time and you asked your co-worker/best friend to stay and close with you. They agreed so as you guys where cleaning up the store you thought it was a good idea to bring up the tall man.

"hey, Y/F/N"

"yeah"

"you know that guy that keeps coming in like first thing in the morning?"

"yeah, what about him"

"I don't know, he just seems so familiar and different from the other customers like did you see him today in the shooting box. He was amazing"

"I think someone has a little crush" you friend teased

"I do not, it's just he's not like anybody else"

"Y/N admit it you like him and that's that"

"okay well, I might have a little crush on him but nothing big" you admitted

You guys had just finished up cleaning and were just walking out and just about to lock up when you heard someone call your name. You turned around to see the tall man jogging towards the door.

"Have fun Y/N" your friend said as they walked away

"Hey, Y/N" the man said as he got up to the door catching his breath

"you know I couldn't get you out of my head all practice and using that new stick sure didn't help, but I was wondering if you want to go get dinner someone and you know get to know each other" he said

You started blushing at what he just said "ugh, yeah I'd love to"

"great, do you want my number so that we could text or something and plan this out"

"Yeah sure, here" you said as you handed him your phone

he quickly typed in his name and number into your phone then handed it back.

"well I better get going I have early practice tomorrow but I'll see you soon, bye" he said as he walked away

"okay, bye" you said, you then locked the door and started walking to your car

When you got to your car you looked at his contact information and that's when you realized that you were going to go on a date with the Alex Pietrangelo of the St. Louis Blues.
