I'm looking at my watch for what must be the millionth time. Where is he? He promised to walk me to breakfast, last night. There's Charlie I'll go ask him. No I can't then he'll know he was right. If there's one thing I've learned it's never tell captain Conway when he's right. Still it's not like Adam to be late, he's usually early. Did I just call him Adam rather then Banks? Where did that come from? I look at my watch again realizing it's only nine seconds since I last looked at it. Am I really that pathetic? Oh look there he is. I'm bouncing now, can you believe this, me bouncing. Jesus get a hold of yourself Gaffney it's just Banks. You've been friends with the guy from almost three years now.

"Hey Jules, sorry I'm late." He's going into this long spiel about why he's late and how I shouldn't hold this against him. I'm not really listening, I don't even care what his reasoning is. I'm just standing here grinning like a moron. Okay now his arm is around my shoulder, he's still talking, wonder if he noticed my body heat just went up like sixty degrees. Wow, he smells really good, actually I think that's the cologne I gave him for Christmas. Alright Julie you definitely gotta relax now. I'm going to have a heart attack at this rate.

We're heading into the cafeteria now and his arm just fell from my shoulder. That can't be a good thing, never mind he's holding my hand now. I can't even fathom this, yesterday I was complaining about that stupid blind date, now I'm holding hands with Banksie. Define weird. I feel like everyone's staring at us, but that's because they are. Charlie has the stupidest grin on his face and Connie is smirking smugly. I can feel the blush setting in, it's starting at the tip of my ears and working into my whole face. I feel like such a fool as I turn and bury my face in Adam's shoulder.

I know what they're thinking as I sit down next to him at the table. I'm so nerved up right now my Apple Jacks taste like mud. I can feel the teams eyes boring into the side of my head and Adam's hand was tighter on mine. I knew the Ducks wanted the 411 on our relationship, which I'm not sure right now we even have one, other then our mutual attraction.

"One of you better tell us somthin'." Russ looked up from his donut desperate for information.

"Like what?" Adam plays dumb and I stifle a laugh

"What happened last night?" Kenny leaned across the table

"Yeah ya'll we wanna know." Great even Dwayne's interested

"Hey Banksie, did you kiss her?" Portman being Portman is anything but subtle

Now Banks is blush as deep of red as I am, who's idea was this again? Oh right theirs they trapped us into this. I'm gonna kill them plain and simple, the junior hockey team is going to consist of me and well Banks.

"Julie didn't get back to our room until after midnight…" Connie declared to them

"Connie Moreau, you keep quiet." I finally spoke up

"Banks you dog." Averman teased as Adam hit his face in his hands

"Nothing happened guys. We had a great time and I was still having a great time until I sat down. Thank you so much for both encouraging me to have the time of my life and then ruining it for me." I snap at them, something I very rarely do and left the lunch room in an angered stomp. They're all sitting there dumbfounded, I know they weren't expecting that out burst. But who were they to embarrass us like that? Adam's probably not going to want to see me now, not with all the crap he'll have to deal with. He's a pretty private person, having our relationship be the center for the whole teams lives is not going to make him happy. I hate those Ducks. Someone's been following me since I took off out of there, I guess I should turn around and see who it is and what they want.

It's Adam he's got this funny look on his face and this unusual gleam in his eyes. What's this? Oh my god he's kissing me. Adam Banks is kissing me!!!

"I'm sorry about that Jules." He whispers pulling away

Sorry for the kiss or sorry for who our friends just acted? If he's sorry for that kiss, he better not be because the one I'm planting on him right, is much more passionate. I change my mind I love those Ducks. I owe them a big thank you.
