Chapter 4// Party Time, guys!!

"Hi Brielle, right?" Someone asked me.

"Yes, This is my sister Lauren," I say.

"Hi  I'm Dan Bylsma, I heard about you from Ray saying that he met a wonderful girl who is perfect, you must be it. So how do you like position with Mario?" Dan asks.

"Good, I haven't officially started yet," I say.

"Ahh, gotacha. So when everyone gets here we will intoduce you to them," He says.

"Where did you go Crosby?"
turning around I see that player that I seen earlier, he has short to medium brown hair, brown eyes, and had on a dress like shirt and black pants.

"I had to go help Mario," The man replies.

Me and LC just stand up there.

About 5 minutes later, eveyone came in and had a seat expect me, LC and 6 other new comers.

"Well thank you boys for coming over to this party, This is for our 8 newcomers. I will introdcue you to them. This is Brielle, she is working in my office with Mario, this is Lauren she is our new reporter and singer at home," Ray says .
He contuines on as I just stand there watching the guys.

I seen the brown hair man talking to another one like them but the other has a little scruff on him.

"Ok girls these are the men of the Penguins team, guys stay up and say your name so they know who you are," Ray says as I watch all of them stand up, well who was all there.

"I'm Matt Cooke,"

"I'm Tyler Kennedy,"

"I'm Sidney Crosby,"
Now I have a name to the man who I seen earlier, who for some reason I've been staring at for no reason. I don't need to date right now, expectally a hockey player like him.

"James Neal,"

"Ben Lovejoy,"

They contuined on saying their names.

"Who couldn't be here today is Craig Adams, whos number is 27. Pascal Dupuis, who is number 9. Chris Kunitz, who is number 14. Eric Tangradi, whos number is 25. Matt Niskanen whos number is 2. Fianlly Tomas Vokoun, whos number is 92. Everyone else is here," Ray says.

"Boys let the girls sit down," Mario says.
I watch as Sidney got up, so I walked over there and sat down where he was. there was room in between me and James Neal.

"Where do I sit at?" LC asks.

"Come over here and sit besides me and Neal," I say as LC walks over and sits down besides me and James.

"Are you ok with me sitting here?" LC asks Neal.

"Yes," James manages to spit out.

"Ok ladies and gentlemen, we will have like a split party going on. We will have a party in here, we will play video games, chat, and do what you want. Then in the indoor pool area will be a pool party then on the patio in there will also be a dance party thing. So you may choose which ever one,"

"We forgot out bathing suits," I say as I look over to LC.

"Girls if you really wanna go swimming, my daugther has a few bathing suits you can borrow," Mario says as he walks over to us.

"Thank you," LC says.

"Your welcome, come with me so you can pick which one," Mario says.
Me and LC get up as we follow him up the stairs.

"I'm sure Laruen wouldn't mind you wearing them. She let's her friends do it all the time,"
We walk into this pink room.

"Wow," LC says as Mario walks into the cloest and pulls out two bikini's on hangers.
One was pink then other was penguins.

"I'll take the Penguins one, pink is more of LC's color," I say as I took the Penguins one.

"Fine," LC says as I laugh.

"You can change in here or in her bathroom, doesn't matter. Or you can change downstairs,"

"Thank you, Oh is there any towels so if we do change up here, we can take down with us?" LC asks.

"Yes, I'll get matching towels for you,"
He walks out.

"You know I can't stand pink," LC says as I begin to take my sweater jacket off.

"Too bad," I say, sticking my tongue out.

"Here you go, change and head on down,"

"Thank you Mario," I say as he closes the door.

I change from my purple dress to the perfect fitting bikini that I ever been in. Is his daugther the same size and everything as me or something.

After LC finishes changing, I grab the Penguins towel as I wrap it around my waist.

"Let's head on down," LC says as we walk out of the room and back down the stairs.

A few of the guys were in the living room, playing video games.

"Need help?" Matt Cooke asks.

"Nah ,we can find it on our own," LC says as we wonder around the big house til we found the pool area.

We walk over to a table as we unwrap our towels and place them on the table.
 then we head over to the pool.

"Want to just sit down and test the water?" I ask LC.

"Sure, I bet that water is frezzing," LC says.

We walk over and place our feet into the water.

"Thats actually warm," I say.

"It's a heated pool, girls," Mario says.

"Ahh," LC says as two of the boys comes walk over.

"May we sit beside you?" James asks.

"sure," LC says as the Tyler and James sits besides her.
I watch as Sidney just swims in the pool as I watch him head over here to me.

Then I watch as he grabs Neal's ankles.

"No this time Crosby," James says as he jumps into the pool.

"They mess with each other all the time," Tyler says.

"Ahh," Me and LC say at the same time.
Just as he say that, I felt a hand on my back push me into the water.

In the water, I swim up to the surface.

"You officially been baptisted as a Penguin," Mario says as I seen Marc standing there with a smirk on his face.

"Oh your gonna get it," LC says as she swims over to the edge.
Looks like he made a ememy with my sis.

She gets out of the pool as she chases Marc around the pool as she reaches out and pushes him in.

"Ha take that bud," LC says as she jumps in the pool.

"Go LC!" I exclaim as she emerges from the water.

"Your tough, you gotta be around us," Marc says to LC.

"Thanks," she says as she swims over to me.

"So who is up for a volleyball game?" Tyler asks as he jumps into the water.

"We have 6 people, so 4 on 2," Marc says.

"Not fair flower. We need another girl to join," James says.

"I will," joy says.
Joy works down the hall from me in the office.

"So who will be out/" Marc asks as joy gets into the pool.

"I will," Sidney says as he gets out of the pool.

"Sid get back in there, I'll play on the girls team," Mario says.

"You sure?" Sidney asks.

"Yeah," mario says as I hear him jumping into the pool.

"the old man can't beat us," Tyler says, maybe he was trying ti whisper.

"Don't start trash talking to me Tyler. We will win," Mario says.

"With Sid on our team we can't lose," Marc says.

"Who is getting ball first?" Kris Letang asks.

"Get a quarter and flip, we call heads," Mario says.

"So I watched Kris get out a quarter and flip it.

"Heads, here ya go," Kris says as he throws the ball.

"Lauren, you can serve first," Mario says as he hands her the ball.

Everyone got into position as she serves the ball.

The ball was going straight to Sidney as it almost hits him.

"That didn't count," Sidney says as he grabs the ball.

"I'm sorry," LC says as Sidney hits it back over.

"It's ok, you didn't hit me," he says.

LC then hits it over again, not hitting anyone

The ball went back in forth til it hit on the guys side.

"Crosby you should'a had that one," James says as he throws the ball back over.

"How many points boys?" Mario asks.

"10," sidney says.

"Ok, so 1 to nothing,"

That game seems like it went on forever til LC spiked it to earn our tenth point.

"Yay!!! We win!!!," I exclaim as we got into a group hug.

"Damn you suck Sid" James says as that made me laugh a little.

"Shut up Neal," Sid says as he splashs James.

"Your dead Crosby," james says as I watch them swim around the pool then I felt a pair of hands on my shoulders, looking up I see Sidney behind me.

"Come after, I got the girl,"
That made me laugh and smile.

"Don't do it Sid," LC says as Sid wraps his arms around me and takes me under.
He releases me as I swim up.

"You ok?" LC asks as she swims over to me.

"Yeah I'm ok," I say as I wipe my eyes off.

"Good,"

We all make our way out of the pool as I run over to get my towel.
I wrap it around my waist.

"Everyone ok in here?" Mario asks as he comes back in all changed.

"Yea," Sid says.

"Good, girls you going home to pack tonight?" Mario asks.
I look over to LC.

"Yes we will make a little tonight," LC says.

"Ok, if you two are late, your pay wont be docked for tomorrow," Mario says.

"what, if we are late we get docked," Tyler says.

"you know better Tyler, they are new you are not," Mario says.

"Well everyone is starting to leave so whenever your ready,"
Mario walks back into the main house.

"What time is it?" I ask.
I watch as Sidney goes over to his coat and reaches for his phone.
He has an old flip phone.

"It's around 8:30," sid says.

"We can pack alot tonight then," I say to LC.

"Where are you moving too?" James asks.

"We are moving into Mario's guest house," LC says.

"Mario's? Why are you doing that?" Tyler asks.

"Cause we will live here rent free. He felt bad that we are renting property that he owns," I say.

"He own's property?" James asks.

"Yea, excuse me I'm going to get changed," I say as I walk away and out of the pool room.

Walking into the big living area, I still see Mario sitting down with Brooks, Derek, and Matt Cooke.

"You leaving?" Matt asks.

"No, getting changed," I say as I walk up the stairs and into Laruen's room.

I walk in and close the door, then I change from the water bikini back into my dress

Walking out of the room as I head back downstairs as LC, James and Tyler were sitting on the couch.

"Come on Sid," James says.
Walking in I sit on the couch as Sid walks in, dressed in the clothes he was in before.

"Oh Brie I didn't see you come down, James and Tyler are coming over to help us pack tonight. They will stay downstairs on the floor," LC says.

"Alright,"
I wanted to be far from theses players cause I'm afraid they will make a move on me or my sis.

"If you don't want us too, we can just sleep in an hotel near by," Tyler says
I see Sidney standing up over by the walk way.

"Sid man come take a seat. There is room by Brielle," James says.

"Nah, I'm good standing up," Sid says.

"Sit down Sid, your making me nervous," Tyler say.

Sidney gave into his teammates and walks across the room as he sat by me.

"Thank you," Tyler says.
I think Tyler is somehow trying to get Sid to like me or vice versa.

2 hours go by as we talk and talk as a group til it hit around 10:30.

"How are driving arrangements?" Tyler asks.

"You'll drive LC home and I will Brie," James says.
I'm not to sure about this.

"I'm driving myself home," I say.

"You can leave your car here, I will take you and come back. Hey we are all going to the same place tomorrow too," he says.

Sighing, I said, "Sure,"

We all get up but Sidney.

"Your not coming?" Tyler asks.

"Nah, I'll see everyone tomorrow," Sid says.

All four of us walk out of the house as we head for the driveway.

"Well my car is first," James says as he walks to his car.

"I'll see you at home sis," I say as I give LC a big hug.
We both were not thrilled about this but James wants to talk to me about something.

"If anything happens call each other," LC says.

"Deal,"
I walk over to the passinger side of James's car as I open the door up.

After getting in, James backs out and heads to the street.

"So why am I riding with you?" I ask as rain drops begin to fall on his windsheild.

"I need to ask you about your sister," James says.

"What about her.?" I ask.

"I like her,"

"You barely know her, Neal,"

"I know, you gotta help me know her more,"

"Neal, me and her both just got out of bad relationships. We are not ready for anyone, expectally from a hockey player like you. Our ex's are hockey players and play for the NHL,"

"Who are they?"

"I'm not telling you. I'm just saying don't go after my sister just yet. We are still healing,"

For the rest of the trip, it was silence.

"Shoot I forgot the garage clicker, park in front of the garage," I say as James parks in the very small drive.

I get out of the car, pouring rain was falling as well as hearing thunder.

Running to the front door, I pull out my keys from my purse as I unlock it.

"Come on," I say.
James comes running in as I see Tyler pull up into the driveway.

I stand by the door as I watch them get out and running into the house.

Shutting the door, I walk into the living room to see everyone else in there.

"I'm gonna get some water, want any?" I ask.

"I'll take a soda if ya have it, it might be a long night," Tyler says.

"Same," James says.

"Water," LC says.

I walk into the kicthen and head over to the sink, for the glasses.
Just as I did, the power went out.

"Great," LC says as something made me look outside.
The power pole was down onto the road just as a Range Rover stopped before hitting it.

"Oh my goodness," I say as I stare.

"What is it?" LC says as she comes into the kicthen with a flashlight.

"Look,"
she looks out.

"Did that car get hit?" She asks

"Barely missed being crashed by it,"

"Has the driver came out,"

"No,"

This considered me, I wonder if they are ok.

Chapter 3// We are invited?

Once reaching Consol Energy Center, I seen that the parking spot I had earlier was filled, so I went and drove to the parking lot across the street.

Turning and parking into a space, I get out of the car and walk across to the streetlight.

Pressing the button, I watch as all the cars to a stop.
Seeing the walk symbol, I walk across the street.

Walking down the sidewalk, I stop at the doors to the Consol Energy Center.
Opening them I walk on in.

Was I suppose to go to the front desk or right on up to Mr.Lemieux's office.

"Ms.Collins?" A lady asks me.
She was the woman at the desk, so I walk on over to her.

"Yes," I reply.

"Mr.Lemieux is expecting you in the office, remember how to get there?" She asks.

"Yes ma'am,"

"Alright, I will let him know you are on your way up,"

Turning around I head for the stairs that I took earlier to get up to the offices.
Once I reached for the doors, I open it and walk in.

I walked down the hall and found Mr.Lemieux's office.
I knock on the door.

"Come in Brielle, have a seat," he says as I does what he tells me to do.

"So what is this about?" I ask as he comes over from his computer.

"I have a question would you like to move into my guest house instead of living in Mt. Lebanon paying me rent?"
I don't remember signing a lease with him.

"Your not the condo owner,"

"Yes I am, I just dont deal with everything day to day. I do own that property,"

"Oh wow,"

"Yea, its a shocker I know, so I already talked to Nathalie, my wife and she said she is happy to have you and your sister come stay with us in the guest house. You will have your own privacy, just you don't pay anything to me. Wouldn't feel right if you payed me rent when I sign your check,"

"Let me call my sister,"

"Take your time,"

Taking my phone out of my pocket, I dial LC's number.

"Hey sis whats up?" she asks,

"Well my boss just asked us to move into his guest house. He is the property owner were we live at. He says he doesnt feel right with us paying rent since we both work for him. If we move to the guest house, we will live there rent free. His wife said it was ok as well," I say.

"Say yes, we will rent free,"
She made me laugh a little.

"Ok, talk to you later,"
I hang up the phone.

"We will take it," I say as Mario walks over to me.
He places his hand out as I take it and shake it.

"Deal, you can move in today if you want too, or tomorrow," he says.

"Thank you, can I hug you?" I ask.

He holds his arms out as I gave him the biggest hug that I could.

"Your very welcome, Brielle. Oh here is my address, yours now too,"
He hands me a sticky note with his address on it.

"Thank you,"

"Oh we are going to have a Penguins party tonight at my house for the newcomers like you and your sister, Lauren. Most of the players will be there, I know the coach will be, Ray will be and a few others. My family wont be there since they are over in Minnasota with my daughter Stephanie. Half will be like a chatting the other an indoor pool party/ dance party. So I will see you tonight around 7ish," He says.

"I will be there, see you tonight,"

"Tomorrow after work I'll order you a U-haul so you can move,"

"Thank you, bye Mr. Lemieux,"

"It's Mario,"

"Mario, ok got it,"

I walk out of the office as I grab my cell, dialing LC's number once again.

"Hey, are you outta there?" she asks as I walk down the stairs to the main level.

"Almost, we are going to attend the newcomers party tonight.its for the new people to the penguins," I say.

"Atleast we get out,"
She begins to laugh.

"That's true, anyways whenever I get off tomorrow, I'm going home to pack. Mario is going to rent a U-haul for us,"

"That's sweet. I'm picking out my outfit for tonight as we speak,"
My sis, I love her to death but sometimes she likes to be perfect.

"Alright, Well i'm out of the building. ill be home in less than 20,"

"Ok, see ya sis,"
Hangin up my phone, I walk out down the sidewalk to the street light.
I hit the button like before and the little walk symbol comes on, so I cross the street to get back over to my Range Rover.

Once I reach it, i open the doors and get inside.

Putting the key in began the car up as I pull out of the parking space and then out of the parking lot heading home.

23 minutes later, I pull back into my tiny driveway as I hit a button to open the garage.
Lc's car was in my space again, so I had to park in her space, in front of the doorway.
Don't know why she always parks in my space.

I get out of the car and head inside the house, closing the garage door behind me.

"I'm home!!" I exclaim as I head for the staircase.

"I'm in the bathroom," LC says.
After climbing the stairs, I walk down to the master bedroom at the end of the hall.

Walking in, I see this short sleeve shirt with a penguins logo on it as well as a C on the top.

"I got the C because your like a captain in this house," LC says as she begins to laugh.

turning around, I say"am not,"

"Yes you are sis but anyways I thought you would like that. And That Purple dress is for you as well,"
I turn around to see the beauiful dress I have ever seen.

It was short and had spagetti straps and it had a darker purple short jacket to go with it.

"Thanks, you didn't have to get this," I say.

"I wanted too since I know you like purple. So do you know were we are going?" she asks.

"No but my GPS will know,"

Me and LC agreed to move out here together about a month ago, we have already broken up with our boyfriends but we needed to get out of the cities we were in.
I was in NYC while LC was in Boston, so we got a plan together, found out the Penguins were hiring so that was it.

"So we are taking your big SUV?" she asks.

"Yep, it has one built in," I reply.

"Ok, so what time is it anyways?"

looking up the clock read 6:00 pm

"We got an hour, so we need to hurry up,"

"I'm already dressed and ready, now it's your turn,"
I sigh as I close my room door to change into that purple dress that LC gave me.

I pick out these glitter purple flats that go along great with my outfit.
Opening the door, I walk into the bathroom to see myself in the long mirror.

This was the best outfit that I ever had and my sis picked it out.

"that looks good, Brie. You look formal but causal at the same time with those flats. Want me to do something with your hair?" she asks me.

"Yes,"

"Ok sit in the chair,"
I take a seat in the chair that's in our huge bathroom as LC begins to work on my hair.

After she was done, it was up in a messy bun style but some was down as well.

"There, now you look complete, unless you want make-up on?"

"No make-up LC. You know I don't like it," I say.

"I was just checking, anyways are you ready to go?"

"Yep, I'm nervous though,"
We walk out of the bathroom together as I head back into my room to get my keys.

"Are you gonna take your small purse just for your keys and phone?"
That's a good idea.

I go into my closet to grab my small hand hald purse.
After I grab my keys and cell phone, I place them in as i close it.

"Good idea, now we can go," I say.
We both turn around as we head down the hall then down the stairs.

I hear LC blowing out candles.
Shaking my head, i make my way out to the garage then to my car.

hopping in, I began it up as I grab the sticky note that Mario gave it.
I turn on the GPS system as I say the address to the machine.

It will take around 30 minutes to get there.

"So how long will it take?" LC says as she gets into the car.

"About 30 minutes to get to the house," I say.

"Ok, well let's get on the road since there might be rush hour traffic,"

I pull out of our drive and got out onto the main road to the highway.

"I'm glad your driving," she says.

"Why?" I ask.

"cause you drive better on them then me. I hate highway driving,"

"that's why I got the Range Rover,"
I chuckle a little as LC does the same.

Around 30 minutes later, we arrive to a gated house, so I drive up to this speaker thing and hit a button.

"How is this," a man;s voice says.

"Brielle Collins, I'm here for the party," I say.

"Oh come on up Brielle,"
It is Mario.

"Thank you,"
The gate opens as I drive on up into the driveway.

I saw Mario standing, so I stop by him.

"Park next to silver Range rover down there," he says.

"Ok,"
I head down and park besides the other Range Rover.

"This should be fun," Lc says as she gets out of the car.
I grab my purse as I turn off my car and get out.

I walk over to were Mario is at.

"Glad you two could make it, while there is a little time left, do you want to see the guest house?" He asks.

"Sure," LC says.

Mario walks back to where me parked and beyond that.
We walked past the main house, as it  was huge.

"Well our main house, has an extra wing but that belongs to someone else. He comes and stays here from time to time. Anyways here is your house," He says as we step onto a big guest house.

"Is this on your property?" I ask.

"Yep, you have to pass the main house and garage to get to it. It's at the very end of the driveway,"

"Wow, this place is huge," LC says as Mario opens the door for use.

"Now, this house has a living room, kicthen, 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. It's all a one level house as you can tell," he says as we walk through the whole house.

Once we reached the master bedroom, I walked in. This room is huge.

"Brie you will get your own bathroom connected if you get this room," he says.

"Oh she will get this room. She is like the captain of me and her" LC says, laughing.

"Yep," I say agreeing.
I walk back out of the room and we finished the tour.

"I will hand you both a  key tomorrow but for now let's get to the party. It's around 7 and people should be getting here,"

We all head back to the main house to see alot of cars in the drive, blocking me and LC from leaving.

"Go ahead in girls," He says.
So we both walk to the front door and seen not alot of people are here yet, so we just walk in.
 

Chapter 2// Shopping

After arriving to the mall, my phone began to ring.

Taking it out of my pocket, I answer it

"Hello," I say.

"Go over to Burlington, they have alot of deals going on," LC says.

"Alright,"

Putting down the phone, I make my way over to Burlington as I park my Range Rover besides LC's black car.

Turning the car off, I get out as I walk over to her car.

"Ready for shopping?" LC asks as she gets out of the car.

"You know I hate shopping. You gotta try everything on," I say.

"That's the fun of it,"

"Whatever you say,"

"You know you like it,"
She and I head into the store.

It is divided in departments from ladies to girls.

"Come on lets go look," LC says as I follow behind her to the women's sections as she already has a top in her hands.
It is a purple glitter like top, that is flowing.

"This would look perfect on you,"she says as he hands it to me.

"You think so?" I ask.

"Yeah, go try it on,"

"Alright,"
I took the shirt and headed to the dressing room.

Going in and locking the door, I take off my top and place on the top LC picked out for me.
It does look good on me.

I take it off and place my shirt back on.

I walk back out to LC with the shirt on my arm.

"So, how was it?" she asks.

"It fits me and looks good too," I say.

"See I told you, lets get more,"
I couldn't disagree with her.

We walk around Burlington picking out different outfits. By the end of the Burlington trip I had 5 tops that I loved, 2 pairs of jeans, a new pair of shoes, and as new purse. LC had gotten 6 or 7 new tops, 2 pairs of jeans, a skirt, high heel shoes and a new purse.

"Thank you LC," I say as we both walk out of the store.

"Your welcome, do you want too head over to the mall or wanna go home?" She asks.

"I had enough of shopping for one day. If you want to go to the mall, thats cool," I say.
I had enough of shopping for one day.

"Alright, I'll meet you at home then?"

"Yep, have fun shopping,"
We both walk together over to our cars.

"Want me to get you any penguins stuff?" LC asks as we place all of our bags into the back of the cars.

"Sure, make sure it's a women's shirt though, I hate men shirts," I say, laughing.

"I know,"
Shutting the back of my Range Rover, I walk over and get into my car.

"See you later Sis," she says.

"Bye sis," I say as I close the door.

I began my car up and back out, heading for home.

It takes 36 minutes to get home all the way from Monroeville.

Pulling into the little two car drive, I hit the button as the garage door opens.
Going in, I turn the car off as I get out.

Getting out of the car, I walk to the back as I hit a button.
The door opens as I recieve all of my bags.

Closing it, I walk through the garage going into the house.

It smells like Vanilla, LC must have left a candle on.

I head pass the living room to the stairs that were by the front door.
Walking up the stairs, my phone began to ring.

Stopping on the stairs I grab my phone out of my pocket to answer it.

"Hello," I say as I contuine up the stairs.

"Is this Brielle?" A male's voice asked.

"Yes,"

"Hi Brielle, it's Mario Lemieux. Are you busy by any chance?" He asks.

I walk down the hall to the biggest room at the end of the hallway.

"No, I just got back from shopping,"
Walking into the room, I set my bags down.

"Can you come down to the Center?"

"I sure can,"

"See you soon,"
I hang up with Mr. Lemieux as I dial LC's number to.

Turning around I head back down the hall and back down the stairs for the garage.

"Hey whats up?" LC asks.

"I'm going back down to the Consol Energy Center. My boss needs me," I say.

"Alright, I can meet you up there, if you want me too?"

" Nah, I'm sure I wont take too long,"

"Alright, just text me when you come home,"

"Will do,"
I hang up with her as I get into my Range Rover.

After beginning it up, I back out and head for Consol Energy Center.

Chapter 1// Job Introduction

I open the doors to the Consol Energy Center as I had for the Penguins offices, located within the building somewhere.

Walking over to a counter I say "Excuse me miss?"

"Yes ma'am, may I help you?" She asks.

"Where are the Penguins offices located at?" I ask.

"Do you work here?" She asks.

"This is my first day, so I'm new to the building," I reply.

"Ok, who are you working with?" She asks.

"Mario Lemieux," I say.

"Ms. Collins?"

I turn around to see a tall man.

"Yes?" I ask.

"I am Mario Lemieux, you may follow me," He says as I begin to follow him.

"So I never got to meet you the day of your interview, I apogize. I was needed at home," He says.

"It's alright sir. Mr. Shero was nice," I say.

"He said that he saw something in you. So where are you from?"

"I'm from Toronto,"

"Ahh, what made you move down here?"

"I moved down with my older sister, I didn't want to stay home forever,"

"I understand that , you elder daughter Lauren wants to move out,"

"My sister's name is Lauren too,"

We walked to stairs as we begin our climb up there.

"We will be able to see the rink from your office, well it's our office," He says.

"Thats pretty cool," I say as he opens the door as I follow him.

We walk down a hallway that has alot of offices in it as Mario stops in front of his door.
He opens the door.

There is this big window staring down onto the hockey rink.

"Wow," I say.

"Go ahead and go in and we will go over somethings," he says.

I walk in as I walk over to the window and stare down onto the ice were there are players on the ice.
Staring, I watch him practice.

Then snapping back, I turn around as I take a seat in his big comfy chair near the glass window.

"So How do you pronounce your name? I never seen it before," he asks.

"Bre-ell, the e at the end is silence," I say.

"Ok so Brielle have you done anything like this before?"

"I have done similiar work while I was in Toronto for a doctor's office,"

"How old are you?"

"24, was born on August 7th, 1988,"

"August 7th? That's Sid's birthday too. He is the captain for our team,"

"Ohh, cool,"

"Anyways what your job entails is that  report to work unless one, season is done and 2 if weather permits you from coming. Once the season is over, I will have you go to the draft, then report to training like the players. You are my assistant, so you will be where ever I go besides when I go home. You will go to every away game and home games here. During the games, I will have you in a suite watching the games with Ray and others. I want you to take notes. You will attend 2 practices as week, and 5 events a season. Am I making sense?"

"Yes sir,"

"Ok, you will be giving your badge today, I will take you down to the locker room area once the boys have tooken their pictures. Umm you will organize the office and paperwork. I believe you have enough on your plate. You will start tomorrow. I'll give you a break today. Now sign here,"

He places a paper in front of my face.

Taking the pen I sign it.

"Thank you and welcome to the Pittsburgh Penguins team,"
He stands up as I stand up to shake his hand.

Just as he did, my phone began to ring.

"Can I get my phone?" I ask.

"Go ahead," he says.

Grabbing it out of the pocket, I answer it.

"Hello," I say.

"I got the job!!," Exclaims LC.

"Congrats, I just signed my contact to work for the Penguins," I says.

"Congrats little sis, you now work for the best team,"
I chuckle

"So what are you doing?" I ask, not remembering what she got an interview for.

"Penguins interviewer then I got a second job as the National Anthem singer as well,"

"Well congrats, so I will see you less huh?"

"Probably, I have to go to away games and everything,"

"Well I gotta go to away games too, guess we will see each other alot then,"

"Oh great,"

"Haha LC,"

"I got to get my picture done here soon,"

"Me too, Mario will take me down for mine,"

"See ya then. Bye,"
I roll my eyes.
My big sister is something else.

"So you ready to head down? They boys aren't done with practice so we will get your picture done now," He asks.

"Yes," I say as I follow him out of the office and back down that hall.
We then walk down the stairs back down to the main part of the center.

"I think you are going to do well Brielle, so are you a hockey fan?" He asks as I follow him down the lower part.

"Oh yes, I'm a big Maple Leaf fan. I was raised that way," I say.

"We got to make you a Pens fan since your part of our family now,"

"We will see if ya can do that,"

"We will, the boys will help,"
I chuckle as we head down to the locker room.

Well here we are," He  says as we walk into the locker room.
A green screen was set up and empolyees stood in line.

"Thank you Mario," I say.

"Your welcome, see you for work tomorrow," He says.

"Ok sir, oh where do I get my badge?"

"At the front desk tomorrow morning,"

"Thank you. See you tomorrow,"
He nods his head as he disappears.

I hop in line as I see LC two in front of me.

"Hey sis," LC says as she waves to me.

"Hey LC," I says.

We will talk afterwards," she says.

I stood in line as I wait for my turn.

"next," A man says.
I get up and sit down in the stool thats provided.

"On three smile, 1,2,3," he says as I smile like I never have before.

"Thank you, next,"

As I walk away from the photographer, the Penguins players began to come in.

I stop as I let them to walk in.
I watch as every single one of them walk in before I walk out.

Walking out, LC stood by a wall.

"So, when do you start?" She asks.

"Tomorrow and you?" I ask.

"Tomorrow I go to southpointe to do interviews. So you excited for work?"

"Yes. Ready to deal with hockey players, not so much,"

"Know what you mean, sis,"

Me and my sister both just came out of abusive relationships. Her ex Tyler cheated and abused her. My ex John just abused me and cheated one me as well. They both are assholes and they ruined us ever having anymore relationships. I'm afraid what happened with John will happen again.

"So you heading home?" I ask as we walk to the enternce of the Consol Energy Center.

"No gonna go mall shopping, I need some more new clothes for singing the National Anthem as well as interviewing. You wanna come?"LC asks.

"Nah, you know I'm not into shopping," I say.

"Dont you need work clothes?"
She was right.

"Yeah but I dont wanna go shopping," I says.

"Your going, so get in your car and follow me. I'll help you,"

"Ok, I know you got good taste in clothes,"

We walk out of the Consol Energy Center and I part ways from LC and head left cause I parked on the road.

"Where you parked?" LC asks.

"Down here, and you?" I ask.

"In the parking lot across the street. Just drive over there,"

"Ok," I say as I walk down the sidewalk to my car.
She is a 2009 Black Range Rover while my sister as a 2010 black corvette.

I walk over to my car and get in.
I do everything as I pull out of my parking space down the street.

At the light, I take a right then a left into the parking lot.
I found my sister as I park next to her car.

Rolling down my sis says"We are going to the mall in Monroeville,"

"Why out there?" I ask.

"They have a few stores that have great deals,"

"Alright, I'll follow you,"

Rolling the window up, I watch as she pulls away as I turn around to follow her.

We take a left at the light as we head for the mall.
