Viola was sitting on the balcony on Cole and hers apartment waiting for her brother’s to join the FaceTime.
Luke is back at Umich, Jack and Quinn are both at their team’s training camp and Viola had been back in Montreal for over a month now.
“Vio!” Jack beamed happily when he answered the call seeing his baby sister.
“Hi Jacky.” Viola softly smiled and Jack saw a little more of her old self and he smiled glad she is healing mentally too.
“Whassuuupppp.” Luke greeted as he answered flopping onto his bed in his dorm.
“You sound like a fray boy.” Quinn blunted said as he joined the call and heard Luke. Viola and Jack both snickered especially as Luke squawked in offense.
“That’s fucked up.” Luke grumbled at his oldest brother only getting a smirk in return from Quinn.
“Alright i have to tell you guys something.” Viola pipped in, gaining the full attention of all three of her brothers.
“I’m dating someone.” Viola quickly rushed out looking away from the screen.
Jack’s eyes widen in shock, Luke’s jaw dropped and Quinn smiled softly as he was hoping her date had went well.
“It’s Maveric?” Quinn asked even though he was sure it was.
“Yeah.” Viola looked at the screen nodding with flushed cheeks.
“How long?” Jack asked curiously, he remembered how giggly she was all summer because of him.
“A little over a month.” Viola told them with a soft smile thinking about Maveric she missed the looks from her brothers seeing her smitten smile.
“Can we meet him?” Luke protectively asked wanting to meet the boy who his sister is dating.
“Of course i just want to wait until you can all meet him together.” Viola didn’t want one of her brothers meeting him first and making one of them wait.
“That may be a bit.” Quinn gave her a look knowing it probably won’t be until the next summer.
“It’s okay.” Viola nodded in agreement not minding waiting and she knew Maveric would still be her boyfriend then.
“Okay.” Jack agreed with Luke nodding in agreement and Quinn smiled.
I just thought of this- but how does Viola feel about the Coyotes having to relocate🥲
she’s very devastated 🥺 she has loved playing in arizona and loves the fans and everything about it. she was just glad she at least got to play her rookie season in arizona
Viola had come back to Montreal a few weeks before Cole as school and her season was starting before his so she was home alone for a few weeks while Cole visited his family.
Viola was going to go on the date today that she has had planned with Maveric for almost a month now. They haven’t been able to see each other in almost five months.
Viola was zipping up her last knee high boot when she heard her doorbell ring, she looked at herself in the mirror once more, she was wearing a plaid skirt with a white sweater and black knee high boots. “Coming!” Viola called out as she grabbed her phone and put it into her purse and slipped her purse over her head.
Viola walked through the apartment and opened the door, she looked up into her favorite pair of eyes and smiled sweetly.
Maveric beamed back and quickly took a step forward picking her up into a tight hug and started spinning them around.
Viola squealed as he picked her up and started giggling once he spun them around, she had her arms wrapped tightly around his neck and buried her head in the crock of his neck.
Maveric chuckled loudly at her giggles but slowly stopped spinning them and gently set her feet back to the floor. He wanted to see her gorgeous face in person but she seemed content to hide in his neck.
“Giggles.” Maveric soflty cooed, feeling her warm cheeks on his neck and smiled softly loving how any nickname or pet name makes her melt for him, “Come on i want to see your gorgeous face.”
Viola blinked rapidly but reluctantly pulled away and looked up at him through her lashes, “Hi.” Viola soflty mumbled biting her lip.
“Hello Belle.” Maveric softly mumbled back and Viola tried not to fold at his extra strong accent when he speaks french.
Viola leaned up on her toes to be closer to his face even though she is quite tall he is still a whole foot taller than her. Her hands started fiddling with the nape of his neck.
Maveric watched her intently looking over her face multiple times wanting to make sure he didn’t miss any changes he couldn’t see over the phone.
“Are you going to kiss me now?” Viola teased him with a flirtatious smirk, remembering when they almost kissed at the end of last season.
“There is nothing i would like more.” Maveric lovingly mumbled leaning his head down closer to hers, he could only hear the sound of his heartbeat in his ear and his nose was filled with her perfume she always wears.
Viola smiled wider making her dimples come out and Maveric gently brought his hands up from her waist to her face and gently cupped her face. His thumb gently caressed her dimple and then her cheekbone before he eventually pulled her even closer making their noses gently bump against each other.
Viola kept her eyes flickering between his lips and eyes before she leaned forward and pressed her lips to his softly but definitely desperately.
They both let out identical sighs of reliefs as their lips finally touched. Viola’s hands moved from the bottom of his neck to through out his hair, running through his curls.
Maveric brought one of his hands to the back of her neck gently pulling her closer as his other hand rested on her lower back.
Viola gently pulled away but stayed close enough her nose was still touching his, “Will you be my boyfriend now Mav?” Viola sweetly smiled batting her eyelashes up at him, flirting with him.
“As long as you want me Ma Belle.” Maveric softly promised leaning back down and pressing multiple kisses to her dimples making her giggle and squeal trying to move away but Maveric held her there.
“Mav!” Viola giggled and Maveric smiled and kissed her cheek once more before reluctantly stopping.
“Now i believe i promised your date.” Maveric reluctantly stepped back but still held out his hand for her and Viola smiled happily grabbing his hand intertwining it with hers.
Viola locked the front door and they walked down the hallway and into the elevator, Maveric hit the lobby button before standing back next to Viola and pressed a soft kiss to her head. Viola made a hall sound and leaned her head on his arm and closing her eyes contently as the elevator started the long ride down to the bottom floor.
Finally the elevator opened and Maveric and Viola walked out and walked through the front lobby to the parking outside where Maveric left his car.
Maveric led them to his car and he unlocked his car and opened the passenger seat for her letting Viola hop in, he leaned over pressing a soft kiss to her lips before sadly stepping back and closing the door.
Maveric walked around the car and walked to the back door and opened it and grabbed something before shutting the door and opening the drivers door and hopping in, he pulled out a bouquet of sunflowers, Viola’s favorite flower.
“For you giggles.” Maveric soflty spoke handing the bouquet to her, Viola smiled softly feeling extremely touched because no one has ever gotten her a bouquet of her favorite flowers, sure when she was younger after a hockey game once or twice she got flowers from her family but never just because and sunflowers.
“Thank you.” Viola softly beamed at her now boyfriend and leaned over pressing a gentle kiss to his cheek.
“Always.” Maveric winked at with a soft smile and gently grabbed her hand pressing a kiss to the back of it before intertwining their hands and resting them on her thigh, “Now i believe i owe you a date?”
Viola was sitting out on the dock waiting for the sun to start rising, she had a hot chai in a mug in between both of her hands and her favorite very large blankets draped around her.
Viola doesn’t love waking up early but she seems to always wake up early at the lake house to watch the sunrise.
Quinn held a coffee in his hands as he walked through the dewey grass and onto the dock and walked down to his baby sister and sat down next to her.
Viola knew who sat next to her and lifted her blanket up and wrapped it around Quinn, Quinn joins her most mornings she is out here and they always like to go on a run after.
Viola rested her head on her brother’s shoulder and enjoyed the peaceful silence only hearing the ripples of the lake and chirping of the morning birds and watching as the lake look like glass from the night.
“You wanna tell me about this boy.” Quinn soflty asked his baby sister, he’s seen her over the last few months seeing how happy she is on her phone and could hear through their shared wall the many Facetime’s she has with him.
No one besides Cole noticed it but Quinn saw how happy she was when they were watching the draft when a certain player was drafted and Quinn noticed he played on her team and had the same name as the name she gave them, and Quinn knew that was the boy who’s been making his baby sister giggly again.
Viola bit her lip and nodded slightly as she knew Quinn would never tease her in a way that makes her upset, “I met him my first day when i went to get a tour and to see my doctor for the first time.” Viola cleared her throat and brushed her finger over the ring of her mug.
“I wasn’t doing great with my injuries and um he just always kept popping up and making me laugh. Felt like he was the only person who wasn’t looking at me like glass.” Viola hated how much her family, friend and coaches kept looking at her like she was going to break, she understood their worry but it was frustrating the only who didn’t was Cole and then she met Maveric and he just treated her like normal.
“Does he treat you well?” Quinn frowned hating how much she was going through this last year and how he couldn’t be there more for her but he was glad she had found someone who made her laugh on the hard days.
“Really well.” Viola smiled brightly, they aren’t even together yet and he treats her like a princess.
“Are you guys together?” Quinn smiled and wrapped an arm around his shoulder giving her a squeeze.
“No, not yet.” Viola just shrugged she wasn’t worried, Maveric has been very honest about his feelings for her and she knows he likes her but they didn’t want to start a relationship before summer especially because it’s his draft year and he’s crazy busy all summer.
“We are going on a date when i get back.” Viola blushed slightly remembering how he asked to take her out on a date the other day when they were facetiming.
“I’m happy you’re happy Vio. I’m so proud of you.” Quinn kissed the top of her head and Viola beamed back always being slightly bashful from praise.
Viola had flew home a few days ago and spent a few days with her parents as Quinn and Jack came back the same day as her and Luke came home the day after.
They only lasted a few days before they headed to Quinn and Jack’s lake house, surprisingly it was pretty calm as only Cole and Trevor were there with them and there wasn’t anymore friends or teammates.
Everyone could tell Viola was attached to her phone since she got to Michigan which was definitely quite surprisingly as she usually is never using her phone if it’s not for music.
Quinn, Jack, Luke, Cole, Trevor and Viola had decided to have the first boat day of the year and had packed the boat up for a full day out on the water.
The unspoken rule at the lake house is that they don’t use their phones much out on the boat besides a few photos just trying to all relax but Viola was glued to her phone and she was just sitting in the sun typing away on her phone not even getting into the water.
Viola softly giggled as she shook her head and started texting back.
The boys were all out on the water and they decided to come back onto the boat for the some lunch.
“Little Vee! Who you texting?” Trevor called out cheekily and walked over leaning over and shaking his head splashing her with water droplets.
“No one.” Viola scowled shutting her phone off and wiping the water from her face.
“A boy.” Cole singsonged with a teasing smirk as he looked at her. His words made her brothers all turn to look at her
“No i’m not.” Viola quickly denied through gritted teeth glaring at Cole.
“Not a certain hockey player?” Cole teasingly asked with a giant smirk.
“Shut up!” Viola scowled groaning at him, she could feel the looks she was getting from her three brothers and could practically feel the amusement coming from Trevor.
“What?” Cole innocently shrugged.
“A boy!” Jack dramatically asked his hands moving around like crazy as he looked at his little sister.
“A friend.” Viola sternly told them and glared at Cole.
“That she goes on dates with.” Cole mischievously added, he knew that truthfully the people on the boat Viola wouldn’t mind them knowing. He knows that her brothers have all been sad as they felt Viola being distant the last year as she kinda blocked everyone out after her accident.
“They are not dates!” Viola squawked looking offended even though she could feel her cheeks blushing bright pink.
“Tell that to him.” Cole quipped back.
Quinn smiled bittersweet as he had never seen her this way because of boy and all the smiling and giggling at her phone the last few days makes sense. He knew she as had just the hardest year of her life yet and while he hated he couldn’t be there for her, Quinn is glad she met someone who obviously is making her quite happy.
“Come on tell us more.” Jack sat down next to Viola nudging her gently, he missed the times he saw his sister almost every day and now he lucky to see her once a month.
“He’s just a friend.” Viola repeated hating how her cheeks were burning but she did lean into Jack, resting her head on his shoulder.
“Do we get a name?” Luke prodded at his sister wanting to know more about this boy that is obviously effecting his baby sister.
“Maveric.” Viola quickly mumbled out, “Now no more questions.” Viola glared at her brothers and they reluctantly nodded and stopped asking questions not wanting to push her to much.
