Chapter 5
JULIE'S P.O.V
Charlie was leant over the side of the bed. Searching for the present he claimed he had for me. I felt rather guilty, my present hadn't been anything compared to what he had given me. He finally sat up and looked me straight in the eye. He had a mischievous grin on his face and his eyes gleamed with mischief.
"Close your eyes and hold out your left hand". He told me. For some reason I had the sneaky feeling he was going to put something disgusting in my hand. But I did as requested and held out my left hand. "Open your eyes". He said suddenly. It took me a few seconds to register what he had said especially since I hadn't felt him put anything in my hand.
My eyes fluttered open and I looked down at my hand. Right there on my 3rd finger was a small gold band. I turned my hand over and on the other side was a small diamond. I looked at Charlie cluelessly.
"Will you marry me"? He said jumping off the bed and bending down on one knee. I jumped at him, knocking him backwards with me landing on top of him. " I take that as a yes then"? He said laughing at my reaction. I answered him by kissing him intimately.
Later on, I knelt on the bed, admiring my engagement ring whilst Charlie was having a quick shower, before we went for a meal. He entered the room, drying his hair on a hand towel.
"You gonna stop looking at that anytime soon". He tormented. I looked at him then ran to the end of the bed before catapulting myself into his arms, swinging my legs around his hips and wrapping my arms around his neck. He swung me around before standing still keeping me in is arms.
"Why, you jealous"? I asked kissing his forehead gently.
"Yeah". He answered before stepping the two steps toward the bed and falling onto me and the bed.
"AR, baby, let me pay you some attention then". I replied laughing as I pulled the collar of his shirt towards me, kissing him softly.
"Now that's the kind of attention I want". He replied then returned the kiss.
It was another half an hour before we headed out for our meal. It wasn't anywhere posh, it was just a small diner that we had eaten a lot at when we stayed there. It seemed the whole of California had gone duck mad. Even the diner had named a meal after us.
The next day we turned up at the rink in our duck jerseys and hockey gear. We had both packed it been as we knew at some point hockey would come into it. As we hit the ice we warmed ourselves up before 14 bodies appeared on the ice. As we headed to them I heard Charlie swear and then look at me.
"They look just like we did before Bombay". He mouthed.
"Stop panicking". I mouthed back. But then as we got closer I noticed the faces of the kids more. There were 2 girls, just like me and Connie. In fact if they were to colour their hair from black and red to brunette and blonde, I could have sworn they could have been our double miniatures. "Hi, I'm Julie Gaffney and this is Charlie Conway". I began trying to break the ice with them.
"You were team USA ducks weren't you"? One of them piped up from the back.
"Yeah". Charlie answered simply.
"Wow, these guy's are fantastic". Another replied. I beamed with pride, they actually really did idolize us. Suddenly, they surrounded us asking us to sign their jersey's.
"We'll sign them after but how about we have a little game". I said. They all agreed willingly and separated into teams of 7. One team had me and another had Charlie who by now had seemed to lighten up a little and become a little Coach Bombay.
As we were both elected as Coaches we had a little chat about what rules and been as we were short of a ref how we'd play it fair. We both agreed that if one of us felt that the other team had done something wrong then we'd accept the punishment the professional referee's would most likely give.
Funnily enough, Charlie was behaving very much like Coach Bombay, using all his players special skills, just like Bombay had done in the Goodwill games, whereas I was acting more like Coach Orion, using the special skills as well as 'clearing the trash'.
After about 2 hours worth of playing, we decided to end the game and work on the teams special skills. At this point the kids reminded me very much of us as we first became team USA. We all had our own thing going on. Like Fulton with his shooting, Charlie and his triple deek, Ken being agile, Portman bashing everyone but his own team, Russ and his knucklepuck, me and my reflexes, Connie and Guy working together, Goldberg irritating other players when they didn't manage to score, Averman taking falls for everyone, Luis speed skating, Dwayne and his puck handling and Adam just been a darn right good player.
After giving each of them pointers and such we signed their jersey's then left. We had exactly 1 day left before flying back home. I had mixed feelings about going back home. I wanted to go home and get back into my normal routine, but in another way I didn't want to leave yet, remembering all my memories had been fun. It made me realize that the ducks were more than just my team and friends, they had become my family. Something I never wanted to lose.
Well what do you think? Would you like me to leave it here or add one more chapter about how the ducks react to Charlie and Julie's engagement? PLEASE R&R!!!!!
