Somebody To You (a Jonathan Toews love story/fanfic)

Chapter Sixteen: Are you there, God? It's me, Jonathan Toews.

Jonathan's P.O.V.

"How was practice?" Jamie asks as she laid sideways into her pillow, adjusting her phone that it would stay up while we FaceTimed.

"Same as always," I reply, propping my phone on the counter as I washed my plate and silver wear from my late dinner. "Coach Q just made us do a few laps and drills."

"Coach Q scares me." She said with a serious face.

"What?" I leaned into the camera and laughed slightly.

"He looks like he's always angry and specifically at me."

"Jamie, you've only met him once. I'm sure he's not angry at you."

"And I don't know what it is but his mustache gives me the creeps."

I busted out laughing.

"Why?"

"I don't know, I feel like it's gonna jump off his face and slap me."

"You're insane."

"I've been told." She smiled sleepily.

I turned off the faucet and grabbed my phone as I shut off the kitchen lights, making my way into the bathroom to get ready for bed when I looked at Jamie who had her eyes closed

"Are you coming to the game tomorrow?" I asked her.

She opened one eye and looked at me.

"Wouldn't miss it for the....world," She replied mid-yawn. "Who are you guys playing again?"

"Ottawa Senators."

"I might be late, I have to stop by the Laundromat after church with Eddie." She closed her eyes again.

"That's fine, bring him along." I said, turning on the shower.

"I'll try, he's not big on hockey."

"You weren't either."

"You weren't either." Jamie mocked me in a deep voice then giggled softly.

"You're also very immature." I chuckled softly.

"You know you love it." She said in a whisper and had her sleepy smile again.

"Why don't you go to sleep?"

"Because I wanna talk to you, duh."

"Jame, you're literally half asleep right now."

"No I'm not..I'm just resting my eyelids, they're exhausted."

I don't believe this.

"I'll see you tomorrow at the game," I chuckled. "Goodnight, Jamie."

"Goodnight, Jonny. Love you."

"I love you, too."

The both of us hung up, I left my phone on the bathroom counter and went into the shower.

Game Day (Ottawa Senators)

Jimmy Jam: happy game day! Good luck tonight babe 😘 can't wait to see you kick ass😁
Delivered 8:42 am.

I smiled down at my phone as I read her text from this morning.

"What are you smilin' about?" Scuderi asks, bumping his shoulder into mine with a chuckle as we walked into the training room with the rest of the team.

"The girlfriend." Panarin's Russian accent sneered with his little knowledge of English.

This cheeky Russian bastard.
