2- Insecure

Vals POV
I looked for Beka all over. I looked at the table where he had been sitting, I looked up in the balcony, I even had a girl look in the restrooms for me. Beka was no where to be found. I was getting tired, and the whole club scene was definitely not for me. So I headed home around 12:30. As I was driving, I kept replaying the kiss over and over, and over again in my head. It had started to rain so, I had to minimize my speed a little. As I was driving, I saw this car that looked like Rebekahs, and a figure that looked like Rebekahs too. As I passed it, I saw, it was Rebekah. I couldn't just leave her out here. If coach found out I did that, I would be doing lines for the rest of the season. So I turned my car around and headed in her direction again.

As I pulled up, she was drenched from the rain. and I could tell she was extremely cold, since it was December.

"Rebekah"
"VAl?"
"what are you doing?"
"ummmm, well, funny story, my car well, it died"
"did you call a tow truck?"
"yeah"
I knew I was gonna do something stupid, but I couldn't leave her out here.

"Get in the car"
"no, I'm fine, go home you have an early practice tomorrow"
"Rebekah, get in the car, before I call your dad"
"fine"

She made her way over to my car and got in. She was soaked. Her beautiful curls were now droopy and wet. Her eye makeup was running down her cheeks, and her shirt she had been wearing was now covered with water. Even with her like this, she still was so beautiful.

"thanks for stopping"
"no problem, if your dad found out that I had left you out here, I would be skating lines for the rest of the season"
"ha ha, yeah, that's my dad"
She sounded very sarcastic about it.
"is there something wrong"
"no, well...kinda"
I knew I was gonna probably not like this, but I had to know more about this girl.

"What then"
"he's always pushed me, and pushed me, I mean, I had to be the best girl on my hockey team growing up, I had to be perfect, at everything, perfect shooter, perfect skater, perfect at everything"
wow, someone else like my father.
"well how did you handle it"
"I just rebelled against him in little ways"
"like how?"
"like highlighting my hair, and getting a belly button piercing, or getting this Red Wing tattoo on my foot" She said as she pulled her foot out to show me
It was very very cute.

We sat in the car for about an half hour just talking about everything. From me competing with my brothers, to her coming to Detroit to possibly make her dad happy with again. Finally the tow truck came. As I got out with her, I saw this guy was so dark weird looking. There was no way I was letting Beka ride in the same car as him.

"are you gonna need a ride back to your house" the weird guy asked.
Before she even had to time to open her lips I had already spoke for her.
"no, Ill be giving her a ride home"
She looked up at me and gave me a look.

As we got into the car, her look was still there.

"what was that for"
"there is no way I'm letting you ride in the same car as that creeper"
She laughed.
"well thanks"
"your welcome"
"so where do you live?"
"well I'm with my parents, sooooo..."
"so drop you off at your dads house"
"yeah, I don't know if its a good idea for me to go home tonight"
I knew I was really gonna be regretting this.
"soo do you want to stay with me tonight, Ive got three spare bedrooms"
"are you sure?"
"yeah, its fine"
"OK"

When we got to my house, it was weird bringing a different girl home, especially since she wasn't my girlfriend and sadly I knew she wouldn't be sleeping in the same bed. I showed her to her room.

"Is there anything I could get you, dry clothes"
"yeah, could I get some clothes"
I went and got some of Heidi's stuff she had left here. Yeah she takes refrigerator magnets, but forgets her clothes.
"wow, women's clothes Filppula?"
"their my exes"
"OH, well thanks"
"no problem, if there's anything I can get you, I'm right across the hall" I said as began to walk out and shut the door.
"Val"
"yep" I said as I turned around.
"Thanks" she said with a smile
"your welcome"

My POV

When I woke up, It was weird. I guess I'm not used to waking up in a guys house, with out being spooned or groped by a guy. I guess that makes me a slut. But I guess that's me. I looked over and it was a 7:45. I laid in the bed, and observed his spare room. Even being a spare bed room, it was so organized. Every thing was in its place, and neat. nothing like my place. Clothes thrown every where, and hockey stuff all over. I lad my head down on the pillow, only to have my phone blast in my ear. My ringer was the wings horn when they scored, so I knew it was my dad.

"hello"
"hello, Rebekah where are you"he sounded worried, not the first time hes sounded that way.
"um, yeah dad, the car broke down, soo...."
"So what"
"well Val, saw me and......."
"Oh my God Rebekah, your first day on the job and you've already slept with one of my players"
"No I didn't, he knew you were gonna be pissed if I came home without the car, so he offered to let me stay"
"OK, I just know how you are, and that you sometimes..."
"yeah we know" I said in disgusts that my dad even thinks I'm a slut.
"well is there anything I bring you"
"actually yeah, can you bring me a pair of jeans, my black sweater with the zipper, my black clogs,a belt and a new pair of underwear and a bra"
"anything else"
"oh, yeah, toiletries, and a blow drier"
"oh my God Rebekah, who are you trying to impress"
"you daddy"I said all sweet trying to make him like me again
"awww,that's a load of crap well I'll see you when you get to the Joe"
"OK, love you..."
Before I could that out he hung up the phone. I'm not gonna lie. That hurt like hell. and I couldn't help but cry a little. He couldn't even tell his only child he loved her. What have I done to hurt him.

Well anyways I walked down the huge stair case to find Val eating cereal. He was so hot in his t-shirt and gym shorts.
"Good Morning"
"good, morning"
"SO was that your dad you were talking to"
"oh, yeah," I said sit across from him
"was there anything wrong"
"huh, no, just being Dad"
"oh, OK, do you want anything"
"umm do you have tea"
"Yeah" he said as he got up and made me a cup.
He sat back down, and just stared into my eyes. It was weird, because I could tell he saw through me. All my insecurities, all my problems, everything.
I kinda liked it because, he didn't try anything, like the others, he was a perfect gentleman. Something I was just not use to.

"So, I'm guessing you need a ride to the Joe"
"yeah, is that possible, I could get one from you, I mean, you've already done enough and......"
"Rebekah, your not bothering me one bit, don't worry about it" He said and smiled, it made me feel warm inside. Something I had never felt, like, EVER!

Well we got ready, only clothes I had was my clubbing clothes, and my hair looked a mess I tried fixing it by putting back in a ponytail. And of course Val looked hot, with his suit, and his hair nice and showered. Me I looked like one of those girls sneaking back into their apartment at 6:00 in the morning after a one night stand.

The car ride was pretty comfortable. He just laughed at my on going talking, and funny stories, and I knew that he didn't want to get into my pants.

When we got to the Joe, we casually walked in. We didn't get to many stares, but we got one big stare. From my dad.

"Rebekah, your stuff is the visitor locker room"
"thanks dad"
"yeah hurry, because your the only trainer here"
"what? where's Jon"
"He's sick, so you actually have to work"
"what do you mean, I do work"
by that time Val had went to his locker room but I could see him behind my dad still watching. He was hot, but not sneaky.
"yeah, work on getting men"
"Whatever, dad, yeah I'll hurry" I said as I walked away, and tried not to cry, or through something at him, or both.

I took my shower, and did my make-up, and got dressed. For having a hard night and morning, I looked exceptionally cute. Even hurrying as fast as I could I still was good 15 minutes late. I took my place on the bench and observed. I observed how each player played. I mean, since I played hockey, I tended to critique players, and they way they played. I observed Val, he was smooth, kinda quick, but lacked confidence. He was super shy. I felt myself very attracted to him. But I've been known to be attracted to Hockey players. If their good at hockey, their hot in my book.

During the water break, I caught Val, looking at me, and I smiled. He smiled back, and skated over to me.
"is everything OK" He asked.
"Yeah, why you ask"
"well I saw your little disagreement"
"oh, yeah, um that's just my dad being my dad"
"yeah I'm sor...."
"Filppula, water break done, lines now" My dad said
I felt stupid.
He skated away and served his punishment. I felt so bad. I felt drawn to him almost, and I don't know something was just different. I knew I was gonna fall hard with this one.
