"Hi there sleepy head." Lisa smiled as she met Chaeyoung outside Gate 4.

Chaeyoung smiled. "When a girl tells your she got Rangers tickets and wants you to be her date you get out of bed, sleepy or not."

"I'm glad hockey is what won you over, here I thought it was my charm and exceptional company."

"The company was a good reason too." Chaeyoung winked as she grabbed a hold of Lisa's hand and dragged her through the crowd.

"Always such a flirt Park." Chaeyoung laughed as Lisa handed over their tickets to be scanned. Once inside the warmth of the building Lisa unzipped her coat to reveal the Rangers jersey she had purchased after their game. "Beer?"

"I thought you were more into wine these days?"

It was Lisa's turn to wink. "It's a hockey game, it calls for beer!"

"Beer it is then." Chaeyoung nodded as they walked up to the beer cart with giant smiles plastered all over their faces. "Hopefully we don't run into any of my exes tonight."

Lisa looked around as Chaeyoung ordered their beers. "Um pretty sure one is standing right in front of you." Before Lisa could pay Chaeyoung shoved a beer in her hand and paid the bartender.

"Ha, ha, you're so funny and the least I can do is buy the beer since you bought the tickets."

"The tickets were given to me." Lisa nodded as she sipped her beer and started walking in the direction of their section.

Chaeyoung narrowed her eyes. "Maybe but I can guarantee that you give whomever gave you the tickets something."

Lisa shrugged and tried to hide the grin on her face. "I don't know what you're talking about Park."

"Shut up and walk." Chaeyoung shoved Lisa towards their seats with her friend and a shake of her head.

XOXO

"Told you we'd get you to a winning game."

"Yeah but it only took one game to do that."

Lisa couldn't help but smile at the pout on Chaeyoung's face. "Chaeyoung Park! Are you using me for Rangers tickets?" Chaeyoung nodded with another pout. "You're being insanely adorable right now." Lisa shook her head.

"Not my fault." Chaeyoung smiled as she tried to hide the fact that butterflies were currently fluttering around in her stomach. "Besides I'm awesome company, it's a win-win."

All Lisa could do was laugh and take a hold of Chaeyoung's hand as they weaved through the crowd. "How about a celebratory beer? I know a place."

Chaeyoung raised an eyebrow. "Oh you know a place? Look at you turning into a New Yorker." Chaeyoung tried her best New York style accent but Lisa only laughed at her in return.

"Yes, I do. I think you'll like it. Maybe play a game of pool while we're there?"

"Lead the way beautiful."

"Miss. Manoban!" Both Lisa and Chaeyoung heard through the crowd and it caused them both to look.

"Mr. Wallace. It's nice to see you outside the office."

The older man smiled. "Likewise. I saw you through the crowd and just wanted to say hello."

Lisa smiled and Chaeyoung couldn't help but watch in amazement, Lisa really was genuinely charming. "I'm glad you did. Chaeyoung this is Dante, Dante this is Chaeyoung."

Chaeyoung extended her hand and shook Dante's with a smile. "It's very nice to meet you Mr. Wallace."

"Please, call me Dante and it is very nice to meet you as well but I'll leave you two to your night. A young couple in love deserves to enjoy themselves. You remind me of me and my late wife Isabelle, it's very nice to see you so happy and settling in well Mrs. Manoban."
