It was Thanksgiving , we pulled in front of my parents house. I took a deep breath.
“Are you ready for this?” I asked
We walked into the house taking off our coats, I hung them up.
"hi baby" my mom said, walking in the hallway
"Hi mom, mom this is Sidney, Sidney this is my mom Karen"
"Hello Mrs. Taylor" he said
"It's nice to meet you, and please call me Karen." she said, hugging him.
"hi" my dad said behind me.
"Hi dad, dad I would like you to meet Sidney, Sidney this my dad Dan."
"hello Mr. Taylor" he said shaking his hand
“Sidney Crosby is my house . “ he said
“Oh god.” I put my face in my face
“nice to meet you, you got skills on that ice."dad said
"Oh my god" Sara said. I looked at her, and grinned
"Sidney this is my sister Sara " I said grabbing his arm. "and Sara this is Sidney"
“Oh wow” Sara said I rolled my eyes.
"Hey everyone." my brother said coming
I looked back at him with a mean look.
"Why do you look so pissed off?"
"Oh, what is she doing now?" he said, coming up to me. He looked at who was standing next to me, he did a double take.
"Dude, you're Sidney Crosby."
"I'm Adam, I'm a huge fan.
"thanks man" Sidney shook his hand. M
"What are you doing here?" he asked, looking at me.
Around 2:00 we all were sitting in the living room, minus Sara . Me and Sidney were sitting on the couch. My hand was on his lap and his hand was on my hand. Adam was sitting on the other side of me.
"Is he treating you okay?" He whispered
"I'm going to check on dinner" my mom said
I was having a great time with Brittany's family. Her sister is a bit hard to read. Adam is a really good guy and her parents seem like normal mom and dad. Brittany went to help her mother.
"we weren't sure if you coming" he father said
"because Karen had to call Brittany a couple times, to see if she asked you."
"She didn't want me to come or something."
"I don't know, I think she was nervous, Brittany can be a nervous girl.” Her dad told me.
"but there is something I want to tell you." Adam said
"You better treat her right."
"I will, I promise. I really like your sister"
"You have to be patient with her, you can't force her to do anything she doesn't want to do."
"trust me, I know she has been through a lot”
“She told you”he said I didn’t say anything.
"thanks man, Just don't let anything happen to her."
"I won't"Adam nodded to me
I went out to the kitchen, to see Brittany and her mom were sitting at the table.
“Dinner is almost done,” her mom said. Dinner was great, we talked and laughed, her family wanted to know how we met and how things were going. It was a great night.
The day after Thanksgiving, Sidney had a game. I went to the arena. I had the same seat as always behind the penalty box. The First period Sidney got the first goal right off the bat. Tyler Kennedy right after that. In the second period sid got another goal. almost at the end of the period. Sidney got a penalty. I Stood up with everybody else.
He went into the box and he looked up at me and shook his head. I smiled and shook mine. The third period Geno scored. They won 4-1. I went down to the locker room, and waited for Sidney, who was one of the last people out.
"Sid" a girl yelled for him.
"this is my girlfriend Brittany, Brittany this is Vero Marc's girlfriend."
"hi, nice to meet you."I said,
"So you're the one who's making him so happy."
"Let me tell you I have never seen this guy so happy before." she said. I looked up at him. I smiled and he kissed me on the forehead.
“We’ll i'm glad to hear that.” I put my arms around Sidney's waist.
"So how long have you and Marc been together?"I asked her, and Sidney walked away and left us alone.
Me and Vero talked for a while and we really hit it off. I went to find Sidney.
"hey you and V really got along, eh." he said
"yeah, I really like her."
We walked out together.I smiled and put my arm around him. He held me tight. He kissed me. I put my head to his chest. I didn't want to let go. I took a deep breath and looked up at him.
“Wanna come over ?” I asked him
Two days later, Sidney went on an eight day trip. We were together, we spent the whole day together. We were at my place sitting on the couch watching tv.
"Britt, can we talk for a second?” Jessica aske coming out of his room.
“Yeah.” I got up and followed her to the kitchen.
"i'm going school" she blurted out
"i;m going to school, the next semester after christmas, I know we have a apartment together, and we pay-- "
"no i'm proud of you, you alway wanted to go to school, where?"
“Oh wow, ummm did you tell max?"
"Yeah, I don't know what he thinks, he really didn't say anything."
I was lying in my hotel room. My phone rang.
"hi" she said in the sweetest tone.
"What are you doing?" I asked
"nothing , i miss you, how about you?"
"I looked at an apartment today.” She told me, she Decided since Jessica was leaving for school she didn’t need a two bedroom apartment. A one bedroom would be cheaper. “ I put an application I really like it“
We got back two days later. I got home around 2:00 am. The next morning I went to Brittany. She opened the
"hey" i said with the biggest smiled
"Sidney," she said, putting her arms around my neck. I laughed. I put my arms around her, lifted her and walked into her apartment.
"I've missed you so much" I felt her say on my neck.
She looked at me. I kissed her as hard as I could.
“I missed you too." I said I put her feet on the floor. I looked around and there were packing boxes everywhere.
We were sitting on the couch.Watching tv "so Mario having this Christmas Eve party, do you want to come with me?" he asked, rubbing my back.
“I wouldn’t say fancy fancy but definitely dress up”
Two weeks later It was Christmas eve I was getting ready I was nervous really nervous but I was worried Sid wasn't looking any better. He has been really tired this season . was wearing a black dress pants, with a red thin sweater.
"hey" he said looking in the bathroom
"hi" I said as I walked out of the bathroom.
"Do i look Okay?" I asked him.
"Yeah, you look beautiful. How about me."
"handsome." I said, fixing his tie.
"here" he said pulling a box out of his pocket."merry Christmas" he said,
"Sidney, we said no gifts" I told him.
"I know, but I couldn't help myself."
“Sidney" I I touched his shoulder.
"Just open it." He said, I smiled
I took the box and opened it. I saw the most beautiful bracelet.
"Sidney, it's beautiful.....but cant...I can't take this."
"Yes you can." he said, taking it out of the box and pulling it on me.
"thank you" I kissed him.
"your welcome baby.” He pulled me close, I giggled.
"I'm Okay, it’s hitting that time in the season.” He rubbed my back, and kissed my forehead “went to head downstairs.” I nodded.
We were there for a while. Vero and I were talking in the corner and Sidney went to talk to somebody. I was kind of day dreaming I felt left out, nervous. I didn't know what to do.I saw two girls standing on the other side of me. I think they think I can't hear them.
"I don't know, I think she came with Sid." The blonde said
"Look at her .. maybe I was wrong I don't think Sid would date someone like that." I pulled my sweater , I messed with the bracelet on my wrais
"Yeah, she is not even that cute."
I didn't know what to do but I had to get out of here. I looked around and I saw Sidney. He smiled at me. I smiled back. I told V I would be back. I looked around again and I felt like I couldn’t breathe. I went up the stairs to Sidney's room. I walked in, I looked around, sitting on his dresser were pictures of his mom, dad , his sister and him, and there was one of him and his sister.
"Hey what's wrong" i turned around to see Sid standing in the doorway, looking worried."what's wrong" he asked again
I shook my head and looked at him. "I don't know, I just had to get away for a little bit."
"I'm fine, Sidney," I said walking across the room.
"Brittany, come on, I know something up"
"I'm scared, Okay" I kinda yelled feelin
"you’re the first guy I've ever gotten close to since you know when, the closest I ever got close to any guy. When I was down there. I felt so left out, When I looked at you I knew why I was there. But it also made me wonder why would a guy like you want a girl
like me?” I put my hands to my chest, and looked down at my feet.
“What do you mean?” he grabbed my hands
“I’m a big girl. Average looking.”
“No”he said “ there is nothing average about you, and the fact you're a big girl means nothing, you're sexy babe curves for days and if someone has a problem with that. That is their problem.” He stepped closer to me. “Not ours, and sure as hell not yours. He pulled us over to the bed , and sat down, he put his forehead on my head.
"I love you" he said I was shocked. the fact that you're a ‘bigger girl’ as you say has a little to do with it. Thought these thighs drive me crazy.” he grabbed the inside of my thigh.” I giggled , I was crazy about this man. He was becoming my world. I turned my head and looked at him.
"I love you too" I kissed him, he put hand around the back of my neck, to pull me close as possible. We pulled apart for air. I ran my hand down his chest
"and I understand why you're scared, and I'm not going anywhere, you can tell me anything." he said, i nodded " You hear me , you can tell me anything, and I'll always be here." he kissed me again.
"Okay" he grabbed my hand “want to head back down.” he walked me down the stairs.
I was there for about another two hours. When I grabbed Sid's hand.
“No” he stuck his bottom lip out.
“Yeah.” I said, I had to get on the road to my parents house. “I love you “ I whispered in his ear.
He smiled "i love you too" he kissed me
"Call me when you get to your parents." he pulled me into a hug
"i Will, get some sleep."
"See you in two days" he kissed me hard.
"Yes” I smiled against his lips.
Like a week later , a couple days before we left for the winter classic, we were at my place, now emptier from Jessica moving. .
About an hour later we ordered some food.
"I never knew how to use these things" I said, trying to put my finger right on the chopstick.
"here" Sidney Laughed helping me. "put this finger here and this one here."
"Now try it," he told me. I was contrading really hard.
I had a piece of chicken. I went to put it in my mouth, and it flew across the table. I put my hand over my mouth, Sidney busted up laughing.
"it's not funny" I was trying not to laugh.
"yes it is" he said, he picked up the chicken and popped into his mouth.
"I'm just going to stick with this." I said, picking up my fork.
"You know what that might be better for you." he said I laughed." so i got a question i know i should have asked sooner, but Do you want to come to the winter classic?"
"Do I?I've been trying to find a way to go." and I have, and I haven't said anything to him. I was going to try to surprise him, but it wasn't working.
"What do you mean?" he asked
"tickets, money, hotel room, work."
"I can get you a ticket."
"Yeah i was hoping" I laughed
"i can help you with a hotel r-"
"Britt, come on. It's nothing, I just want you there" he said “there's a family and friends skate and it will be the first time you get a real feel of my world” he took a bit of his food, and lifted his eyebrows.
"oh okay" I rolled my eyes at him. "Now I just have to find out about work."
We cleaned up everything, I was fixing up the kitchen. Sidney came up behind me, wrapping his arms around me. I smiled softly. He kissed my neck, I swallowed hard.
"I should get going" He said
“What?” i turned around grabbing his hips, he laughed
“Unless you don't want me to leave. “ he gave me a grin.
"No” I started undoing his belt.
Okay" he kissed me, and we made our way to my bedroom.
I called Sidney about three day later, sitting at a booth on my break.
"Baby, i was just thinking about you “ he answered
“Guess where I'm going?" i pretty much yelled into the phone
“Ohh i like the yes sir.” he voice got low, i giggled. "I'm happy your coming"
The couple days before the winter classic, me and Jessica got into our hotel room. We were staying at the same hotel as the team. This was Jessica’s last game before you moved to New York.
"what do you want to do now?" jessica asked me
"We can go watch them practice, Sid said we can come watch."
"Okay" we got our coats on, and I got my hat on. I looked in the mirror. It was a new powder blue color, a 87 on the front. I smiled to myself, and I felt pride for the man I love.
When we got there, and made our way around showing multiple people our passes. We went in, it was amazing, we walked up to the glass, Max was standing there he wasn't playing he was hurt. Sid saw me and waved. I gave him a small wave and smiled.
"I never seen him this happy about a girl." Max said, walking up to us.
"Yes, he talks about you all the time." he said , I smiled and looked at Sidney. He looked like a different guy out there (in a good way). The way his body moved, I never really noticed it before. We watched the rest of the practice. they were getting off the ice.
"Hello," he said, giving me a sweaty hug. Started rubbing his face on mine. I laughed, “he looks good on you.” he said “but you know what would look better on you?” he whispered
“What?” He pulled me close and put his lips to my ear. “Me”
“Just think about that the rest of the day.”
“You're mean,” I told him, and he kissed me.
"Will you two give it some rest, save some for later." Colby said
I laughed, and put my head to Sidney's chest.He was already taller than me, but he skates one he is towering over me.
"I'm going to get a shower and change and we can go to lunch if you want"
Almost an hour later, Sid and I were on our way to the restaurant. When we got there he opened the door, put his hand on the small of my back and led me in. When we sat down, and someone boo's. I put a small smile on my face.
"that's not funny" he laughed
"I know, I'm just not used to it. Normally when we walk into place you get gasps, an people staring you down" I laughed
“Well were not in pittsburgh”
“But you're still Sidney Crosby “
“I love you too,” he said, “now this is going to be good for us.”
“And you're going to kick butt at the winter classic” i told him, he shook his head “what?”i asked
“I love having you cheer me on”
“I'm your biggest fan right here.”
“God” he smiled “ i love you”
The rest of the day we were together. We checked out my shops, got hot chocolate. Enjoyed the sites. We were lucky Sidney had a lot of down today today. Tomorrow it was the family and friends. I was looking through racks of clothes.
“So my parents and sister are going to skate tomorrow.” Sidney said, stopped and looked at him.
“If you're not ready, it’s okay? He told me.
“No, i'm excited”
“Oh yeah, I just hope they like me.”
“They're going to love you.” I bit my lip.
The next morning, Jessica and I were getting ready for the family skate. I was messing with my hat.
“His parents,” I said to myself.
“You okay?” jessica asked
“Yes, no I'm going to be” I told her, and I grabbed my coat. “I'm meeting them in the lobby. I have to go. “
“Okay, see you there” i walked into the lobby, i took a deep breath, i looked around and didn't see Sidney yet. I started pacing, back and forth. Back and forth.
“You're pacing” I jumped , Sidney had a hold of my waist, and kissed my ear.
“Hi,” I said, turning around.
"I'm okay" I took a deep breath , he nodded, his parents were standing behind him
"Mom, dad, I would like you to meet Brittany, my girlfriend, and Brittany. This is my mom, Trina, and my dad troy."
"Brittany, it is so nice to finally meet you." his mom said, going into a hug
"It's nice to meet you too mrs. Crosby” I said, taking in her hug.
"oh, please call me Trina"
“Of course” I nodded "Mr. Crosby, it's Nice to meet you too."
"You too" he said and Sid shot him a look.
"So Brittany what do you do?" his mom asked, we were on a bus on the way to the field.
"Do you plan on doing that your whole life?" his dd asked
"Dad!" Sid said under his breath.
"You don't plan on going to college."
"I.....college...it wasn't right....at the time."
"Dad" Sidney said again but not under his breath.
“It's okay” I touched Sidney's leg. “I don't see the point of a college degree if I don't know what I want to do. I don't want to waste the money.”
We got to the field. . i sat next to Sid on the bench. I put skates in front of me. his mom was on the other side of him, and his dad was next to her, and this girl with blonde hair walked up.
“Taylor .” sidney got up and hugged his sister.”tay this brittany”
“Hi it's so nice to meet you.” she said, sitting next me.
“You too, I've heard alot things about you.” I said, untying my shoes.
“So have i, I can't believe my brother has a girlfriend “ she said, i smiled at sidney, he rolled his eyes.
“Do you need help?” he whispered to me.
“Maybe, i;ve never really done this.”
“Oh my god, i never thought about that.” he said , i looked over at his parents.
"Your dad doesn't like me." I whispered to him, as he was in front of me tying my skates.
I looked at Sidney and bit my bottom lip.
“You're bad.” Sid told me, I had a grip on his arm, he was holding me up.
“The last time I haven’t been skating since, I was like 10.” i said, “ and skating then was holding on to the wall, and going in circles.” I said, he busted out laughing.
I helped Britt to the bench, and she made her way to the bathroom. My dad skated up to me.
"Dad, gave her a chance." I said, looking at him, he looked at me."Dad, I love her.
"Sidney, I just don't want to see you with one of--"
"She is not one of them."
"You don't know that she seem quiet"
"Dad, she has a past. She can be quiet, but she is independent, smart, funny, and beautiful."
"She's got baggage, are you sure you--"
"It's not baggage, it's her life, it's a part of her." "Will you give her a chance?" I asked him if he wasn't saying anything. "Dad, I love her."
"thank you" I nodded and saw someone in the corner of my eye. I looked.
"Brittany" She put her head down. I went up to her.
"Yeah I am " she said, she put her hands on my shoulders, and kissed me. “I don't know if i can't go back out there though.”
“Yeah I don't need you breaking something.” I laughed.
“Ha ha “ she smiled “ go skate”
“Yes ma'am” I said, taking off.
I did hear everything his dad said, and I think a couple months ago, it would have messed me up, but these last months have made me a different , and better woman and I'm not going to let some words upset me.
"So Brittany" Sidney’s dad sat next to me. "How long have you been a hockey fan?"
“Umm my whole life” i smiled, I grew up as a sports fan and hockey was just on tv all the time.” he dad nodded, and smiled
His dad and I talked like I heard Sidney ask him to give me a chance, and he was. All were standing at the bench again.
"It was really nice to meet you both." I said
"you too Brittany." his mom said, hugging me.
"Brittany, can I talk to you?" his dad asked me.
I nodded, and walked over to the side.
"I just wanted to say, I'm sorry for the way I acted towards you earlier."
"It's Okay, you were just watching out for your son."
"he Loves you, I can tell"
"I love him too, you raised a good man."
"Your welcome, Mr. Crosby, and thank you." i said walking away
"Brittany" I turned around "call me Tory"
I nodded, andwalked and grabbed Sidney hand
"what was that all about?" Sidney asked as we were walking out.
"Yeah" sidney smiled at me.
I'm laying in bed in our hotel room that night. . Jessica was sleeping. I was wide awake, thinking about Sidney. I truly never felt this way about anybody. At midnight, it was now 2008. there was a knock at the door. I looked at the door.
"Who the hell would that be?" Jessica said half awake.
"I don't know" I got up, and cracked the door to see who it was, then I opened up all the way. I saw Sidney standing there in shorts and a T-shirt.
"Sidney, what are you doing here?"
He kissed me, he put his hand through my hair. I put my arm tight, our lips broke apart. I looked at him.
"happy New year" he said, I laughed "and I really can't stop thinking about you"
"me too" he put his forehead on mine.
"i love you too" He kissed me again
"I'm gonna go back to bed, I'll see you tomorrow."
I nodded, and “okay” I smiled, we hugged, and we went to bed.
The next day we were on our way to the game. It was really cold outside. We got our seats. The game started when Colby Armstrong got a goal as soon as the period started. Buffalo got a goal in the second period,nothing in the third. they go into overtime. The snow came down. They went into a shootout. The snow came down even harder. It came down to Sid, he went down the ice and shot the puck, and he put his arms up and started jumping up and down. When he did that I did the same.
Me and Jessica made our way to the locker room. Jessica went to find Max. I was waiting for Sid. He was with the press, he came out of the room.
"you guys won!" I said, i through my arms around his neck
"Yes we did," he said, putting his arms around me.
"your cold" I said rubbing his back
"All I want is a shower and a hot chocolate." I hugged him tighter
"well you know what go get a hot chocolate and get a shower, and i'll see you when your done"
"Okay" he kissed me and went to get a shower. I watched him walk back into the locker. I was happy for him, and so happy I got to be here for him.
Three days. Jessica was leaving. She was all packed,and her stuff was sent away to her place in NEw york.
"I'm going to miss you" I said
"I won't " she said we hugged
" iwill bye" she got in the car with Max, and went to the airport.
The next day I went to look at apartments, and I found the perfect one bedroom apartment. I got so lucky it was ready to move in the landlord is so chill. I picked up my phone and called Sidney.
"Sidney, I'm standing in the middle of my new apartment."
"yeah I got in today, i was looking for a while but yeah i found it."
"When are you going to move in?"
"the guy said whenever I want to."
A couple days later we got all the furniture in the apartment, now we were unpacking, it was kind of late. We were in my bedroom. I was putting things on the dresser.
"Now this is hot, eh" I turned around and saw Sidney sitting on the bed , holding one of my bras.
"Give me that" I reached for it, I grabbed it, he still had it, and he pulled me towards him. He laid on the bed, I was on top of him, I put one arm around his neck, I put the other hand on his cheek and kissed him and kept kissing him. He ran his hand up and down my back and legs. I run my hand down his chest. i tugged on his shirt, and pulled it over his head, he did the same to me, we rolled over. He kissed me down my neck. I reached for his belt.
“Night stand draw” i said, he reached over
“Oh my baby is prepared” he laughed, “and now let's break in this apartment.”
“Sidney.” he rolled me over so i was on top.
The next morning I woke up, I looked over at Brittany. She was still sleeping with just a pair of underwear and my t-shirt. I covered her up more, kissed her on the cheek. she pressed her face into the pillow. I got up and took a shower. When I was done I walked into the bedroom. she was standing there with her back towards me, getting into the dressers.
"hi beautiful" I wrapped my arms around her. she jumped. I laughed as she turned around and put her arms around my neck.
"Well, hello" she said, then kissed me.
About two week later. I was at a game, i was sitting with Vero, ever since Jessica left me and vero been hanging out alot. It was early in the first period, I watched Sid go into broads, I was waiting for him to get up. He got up on his knees, and got up very slowly, he went to the penguins runway. They helped him go down the runway. I stood up.
"he'll be okay" vero said
I had to go through the whole game not knowing anything, when the game was over i went to the locker room, i was pacing biting my nails. Max was coming out of the locker room. I went up to him.
"Is he okay, is he in there?" i asked
"okay calm down, they took him to the hospital, to get a m.r.i"
"yeah, you know where they-"
"I know what an m.r.i is." I raised my voice.
"just go home, and he'll call you when ever he can"
"Okay" I went home. I waited, waited, and waited. I did fall asleep around three in the morning, on the couch.
The next morning, i got to get ready for work, and I thought about calling him, but he could be sleeping. i was getting to leave, my phone rang.
"Oh my god, are you okay?" I asked, I sat on the couch.
"I'll be okay, i got a high ankle Sprain, I would have called you last night but they gave me something that knocked me out."
"It's okay, but you're gonna be okay?"
“I was worried.” i said "how long are you going to be out for?"
"they said about two months."
"yeah, tell me about it, I heard you were scared."
"i wasn;t scared, I was worried" I said “I gotta get going, I got to work."
"Okay, I'll call you. I don't know if I can come over today, but I'll call you."
"Oh no i can come to you, let me know if there is anything you need. okay, love you "
weeks went by since sidney’s accident, he was in a boot now, we've watched every game together so far. Whether it be on Tv, or at the arena. He now had a key to my place, and spent most of his time there. I got out of the shower, and went to my room. I was getting clothes out of my closet.
“Babe” I heard the door open and close.
"hello" I said, fixing the towel that was around
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" he yelled, walking into my room.”oh” he said, holding an iced coffee, and a bag of something in the other.
"thank you” i said, he smiled, and put the coffee, and bagg on top of the dresser.
“That towel needs to come off.” he told me
“Oh yeah.” I stepped closer to me. Grabbed the towel and pulled it off me. He picked me up
“Sidney, you're ankle.” i gasped
“Let me worry about my ankle.” he said, laying me on the bed. He spread my legs wide, and kissed all the way down my chest stopping to suck on one of my nipples and fully handling my other breast, and slowly squeezed it. He slowly worked his way down my body. He kissed the inside of my thigh, then his tongue made its way inside me, my head went back, like I had no control over it. He was controlling my body, and that's what he did for the next few minutes. I completely blacked out , all
I knew it was amazing. As I came my hand grabbed a blanket on the bed, and toes pointed, while my back arched and he was staring up at me with a grin all over his face.
“Happy birthday “ he whispered
“Oh my god.” I laughed , he stood up and I grabbed his hand. “Where are you going ? It’s your turn”
“Baby I’m good it's your birthday “ I got up off the bed and picked my towel back up, and wrapped it around me. Sidney handed me the iced coffee. “I got bagels” he held up the bag.
"okay, so what are we doing tonight" he asked, as we were sitting on the couch , I took the last bite of my bagel
"well it's your birthday, so we got to do something"
“Would you like it to be just us?” Sidney asked
“Please, I would actually love that.”
"you know what I'll be back , Okay" he got up,
"okay? Where are you going ?”
“I said I’ll be back.” He kissed my cheek, and went out the door.
“What the hell.” I said to myself
A couple hours later Sidney was back with bags of food.
"what are you doing?" I asked him.
"I'm making you dinner" he smiled
"what?" I said as kissed me on the cheek, and went into the kitchen.
“You know how to do that?”
“Believe it or not I’m not that bad. “
"okay. Do you want some help?" I smiled at him.
"nope, i got it, you go relax, watch TV, read a book, go do something."
“Can I read my book here ?” I asked touching the breakfast bar “ and I can be near you”
"Okay" I went to get my book. but it was hard every five minutes he was asking where stuff was. He was rather organized and looked a little out of his element.
"Are you sure you don't need any help?" Iasmed .
"Okay" I said , I looked down at my book, and I saw something sitting in front of me.
“It’s a really sweet wine, I think you’ll like it.” He said leaning across the bar for a kiss.
“Thank you.” I smiled and leaned in for the kiss.
"I'm going back to reading my book." i said,
About 10 minutes later, he sat a plate down..
“Babe this looks amazing. “
“Thank you chicken, garlic green beans, baked potato, and there's a salad.”
“No that's you.” he said, walking around the bar with his plate and sitting beside me.
"Sidney, This is really good, thank you" he smiled at me,and touched my knee. I kissed him
"I almost forgot." he said, getting up and getting into his coat pocket.
"Happy Birthday" he handed me a box.
I opened it, it was a gold necklace with a Diamond pendant, with a small 87 hanging from it.
"it beautiful, thank you" i hugged him
"You're welcome, do you like it? "
“I can see that.” I smiled "Can you help me put it on?"
After we were done with the dishes, we put things away. We were lying in bed. He had his arms around my neck playing with my necklace.
"So where did we leave off this morning?" i asked, he smiled at me
Her arms were around me. I looked down and she was sleeping, and not too much longer I was sleeping.
When I woke up the next morning, I rolled over, Brittany wasn't in bed. I got up and found her in the kitchen with my shirt and a pair of shorts on. She was cooking. I put my arms around her. she laughed and I kissed her neck.
"Well, you cooked dinner and now I'm cooking breakfast."
"What are we doing today? I have to work the late shift today." she asked
"you never work the late shift."
"Today I have to go to the arena. I got to see the doctor today."
"Ughh" she leaned her head back on my shoulder.
I went to see the doctor then that night we had a game I wasn't playing of course. I left the game during the second intermission, and went to the diner. There were like two other people in there. Brittany had her back towards me. I sat down. The other waitress came over.
"hi my name is Lexi, how may I help you?"
I nodded, she walked beside Brittany.
"Guess who I just waited in." The girl wasn't quiet at all.
"who?" Brittany said not looking up from what she was doing.
"really?" Britt said, and turned around, and she smiled
"What are you doing here, the game isn't even over yet." she asked, pointing towards the TV.
"Yeah" i said, she leaned over and kissed me
"here you go." Lexi came over with my water when she went to put it down, she dropped it. The water went everywhere. Brittany gasped. I jumped up before it got on me.
"oh my god, I'm so sorry"
"Lexi, go get something to clean this up with."
"Sid I'm sorry, she knew."
After it was all cleaned up, and the shift was over, me and Brittany Left together.
"I'll meet you at your place, I have to go home first."
When we were both at her place, we went right to bed
The next morning, I woke up to Brittany mumbling something into my chest.
"nothing" she said into my chest "I'm so cold" she said pressing her face into my chest. I grabbed the covers and covered her back up and put my arms around her.
"I can't go back to sleep" she said
"How did the doctors go?" she asked, playing with my hand.
"oh, good! He said I could be on the ice within a week."
"I know I was thinking, do you work today?"
"Yeah, the late shift again."
"Then today I was thinking of going to the rink to try some skating, do you want to come?"
"Okay" we got up and got dressed.
When we got to the arena. I got all geared up. I came out Brittany was sitting on the bench.
"pretty good" I was shooting pucks.I went to the runway, opened the door, and grabbed a pair of skates.
"I'm going to make a fool of myself."
"No you're not, it's just going to be me and you out there”
“Remember the winter classic?” i asked
“Yeah, that's why you're going to practice,” I said, placing them in front of her.
"That's what I'm talking about baby “ I knelt in front of her , and grabbed her foot "now come on let me put these on you." she smiled at him.
"Okay" I put them on her. we both got on the ice, she was holding on to both of my hands. she almost fell. I put an arm around her to hold her up.
"I can skate, I just have to get used to it again."
"Ohhh okay" i let go of her one hand
“No, Sidney,” She laughed. I pulled her towards me. she lost her footing and she fell into me, when she did I fell, she landed on top of me, We both laughed.she went to roll off of me, and held her tighter. She ran her hand down my face.
"Can I tell you something?"
"I know, I've told you that I never felt this way about any other person, but every time I look at you my stomach flips, my heart races, and I haven't been this happy in a long time, but.....”
“Stop, it's not bad. but I keep waiting for something bad to happen, because this seems too good to be true.
"Britt, nothing bad is going to happen, I'm not going to let anything or anybody hurt you, and I'm not going anywhere, just remember that."
A tear fell down her cheek, I wiped it off, she kissed me.
"I love you" I told her, and slowly closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
she laughed "oh yes me too”
She got up and I followed and we stayed on the ice as long as we could until, I took her home so she could get ready for work.
Two weeks later me and Vero went out to do some shopping.
"how about this?" Vero asked, she asked, holding up a red dress.
"Hot, Marc would love it."
"So you and Sidney are doing good?"
"You two are too cute together." she said
“You know what, what size are you?”
“What?”
“You need this dress.”
“Yes, you and sidney are new , and you two are most likely still in that stage where you can’t keep your hands off each other”
“What would even wear that too.”
“Come on” she put the dress on the rack, and I followed her into the intments section.
“Because no because just no”
“Girls, you got curves, show them off.”
“I… I can not. I'm too big for that.”
“Stop something like this” she held up a red lace piece, that was so pretty.
“It's classy, but sexy right in the middle.” she said, i bit my lip, and touched it. Next I know the lady was wrapping it up for me.
“I can’t believe I got that.”
“I can” v smiled We went and got something to eat. When we were done we were walking out of the restaurant. I stopped when I saw someone that I haven’t seen in years. I felt sick to my stomach
I stared at him through a crowd of people.
"It can't be" i whispered to myself
"Britt!" Vero yelled for me. I looked at her and looked back and he was gone.
"what were you looking at?"
"Umm nothing" I shook my head.”nothing”
A week later Jessica was visiting. We were having lunch.
"Are you and Max doing okay?" i asked
"good the long distance thing is working okay, you and Sidney?"
I nodded, staring off into space.
"has he moved in yet?" she asked
"what? No!" I said, she laughed.
"I thought since I was gone."
"No, not ready for that” i smiled
"I called Max, Sidney and he are going to join us."
"Are you okay?" she asked
"ahhhh...yeah...no.. I think I saw him."
"at the mall like a week ago I don't know if it was him, but it really looked like him, and i've been freaked - "
"You saw him" I heard a voice behind me, I turned around.
"You saw him, and you didn't tell me." he said, he looked hurt
"I don't know if it was him."
"you still didn't tell me"
"Sid" he shook his head, and turned around and walked out of the cafe.
"babe?" I ran after him. "Sidney" I grabbed his arm and he shrugged me off.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he turned around, raising his voice.
"i didn't want you to get worked up"
"No, Brittany you could have been hurt" he yelled at me.
"i don't know, if it was him" I yelled back
"That's not the point" he yelled, opening his car door.
he shook his head, getting into his car.” i cant talk to you right now”
"where are you going"I asked
I put my head down and felt a tear go down my cheek. I looked back at him, he closed his eyes, shook his head, opened his eyes back up, and drove off. I didn't go back to the cafe. I went to my car. I put my head to the wheel and cried. A little while later, there was a knock on the door. I wiped the tears off my face, and I looked up. It was Jessica, Max was behind her. She opened the door.
"are you okay?, what happened?"
"I'm okay, I just want to go home." i told her
"Do you want me to take you?"
I went home and I didn't know what to do.
