Chapter 8

 

Sid’s POV

I went to the rink after I left the café. The last thing I wanted to do was fight with Brittany, but she could have been hurt, if it was him, and if she can’t tell me something that important, how are we supposed to be together. I am mad at her. 

I was shooting pucks, skating around, I could be back in the game in a week. I was doing laps trying to get my mind off of Brittany, but it wasn’t working. I turned the bends when I saw Max coming out of the locker room.

“hey” he said

“Hey, how‘d you know I was here?”

“you were upset, I kinda thought you‘d be shooting pucks”

“I‘m not upset”

“yeah, right”

“Did you talk to her?”

“no, but I saw her, she was crying.”

I didn’t want her to cry, but how could she not tell me?

“dude, I don‘t know who this Kyle dude is but I don’t think she would have cheated on you.”

“what! You think she cheated on me, no dude no it was something else…. I can’t tell you.”

“oh”

“Where is she now?”

“her place, you going to see her?”

“no”

“why?”

“because, I‘m still mad at her, she could have been-- never mind.”

There was a game that night I went to. I asked Brittany to come earlier that day. I kinda figured she wouldn’t come , but I didn’t blame her. Then I heard a light knock. I looked at the doorway. Brittany was standing there. You could tell she was crying. I waved for her to come in. She sat down next to me. I was still upset with her, but I do love her.

“Sidney, I‘m sor--” she started  

“no”

“What?” she asked, turning towards me. 

“I don't want to talk about it right now.”

“Then when”

“I don‘t know, but not now”  I put my hand on her knee. 

We sat there the whole game, we barely talked when the game was over, we just stood there.

“I should get going” she said

“Okay” I lightly kissed her cheek. She looked up at me then quietly looked down, and walked away. I grabbed her hand. 

“Umm, Brittany, I'm not going to lie, I'm still upset with you for not telling me, but I love you."

"I love you too, but please don't be mad at me."

"Britt,I just don't want anything to happen to you?" I grabbed her other hand.

“I know,  I'm thankful for you, I think the whole thing freaked me out and i didnt want to really think that it could be him.”  

"Britt"

“Yeah” I tucked a piece of hair behind my ear. “Sidney please don't be mad at me, it's killing me not talking to you."

"and you don't think it's killing me. Babe we’re okay” she let out a breath. “Promise me no more secrets”

“Promise.” she wrapped her arms around me. I smiled and kissed the top of her head. I pulled away and looked at her, she smiled and I kissed her. She giggled, into the kiss. 

“Come on, let's go down to the locker room.” i said

Britt’s POV   

 We got down to the locker room. We hung out for a little bit.

“I’m gonna head out, i gotta work in the morning” I whispered in his ear

“Okay, i'll walk you”

“No stay , i’m parked in player parking im fine”

“Babe”

“Babe” i mocked him, i smiled 

“I love you” he wrapped his arms around me. 

“And I love you” he kissed me. “I’ll call you “

“Okay, be careful” he smiled at me 

I walked out of the arena to a dark parking lot, smiling from ear to ear. I honestly couldn't tell you the last time I was this happy. I was finally feeling comforable with myself. I giggled to myself, then I felt someone put their hand over my mouth. I jumped, dropped my bag and he put his other arm around me, and carried Me to the back of the parking lot. I tried to get out but his arm was very tight around me. He held me against the wall. Still with his hand over my mouth he came in front of me, and removed his hand I screamed.

He covered my mouth again. I screamed into his hand and bit him. He moved his hand. He drag me to the back of the parking lot. 

"bitch" i kicked away from him, and tried to take off running. but he grabbed me, and threw me up against the wall by my neck.

"let go of me"

"No"

“Kyle please”  I cried "what do you want?"

"Brittany, you know what I want," he said, grabbing my hips.

"let go" he started pulling my shirt. I hit him, and kept pushing him away. "Stop it" I said he smacked me across the face. I fell to the ground.

"get up" he yelled

"no"

"Now" he stood above me. I stayed there, trying to catch my breath.

"Fine, you want it that way" he said, getting on the ground, grabbing me to put me up straight. I screamed when he touched me.

"help! help!"

"Shut up" he hit. I was crying so hard. 

"why don't you leave me alone?"

"I love you Britt, you know how hard it is to find you. I thought you would never leave your parents, and I know you still love me."

"no you don't'. and I love someone else."

"who that hockey boy"

I didn't say anything, and thought about Sidney, maybe he would come after me or try to find me. 

"Sidney" I whisper

He ripped my shirt over my head . He started to unbutton my pants. I tried to kick him but he stopped me. I felt blood run down my face, and I could taste it on my lips.

"I said shut up" He slapped me across the face. then I felt him get lifted off of me.

Sid's POV

I came out of the arena, with Max, Marc, Jordan, and Geno, Thinking if I should go to Brittany's or not. I heard a light scream, must just be the fans, Then I heard it again, and it wasn't a fan. I stepped on something. I looked down at Brittany's bag. I Bent over and picked it up. I put my hand to make them stop talking. I listened again and screamed.

“What the -” Max said.  I dropped her bag, and ran down the parking lot.

"Sid," Marc yelled. I stopped when I saw a guy over Brittany, he was trying to unbutton her pants.

"I said shut up" he said, slapping her, when I grabbed him by the shirt off of her. I slammed him into a wall.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" I yelled 

I looked down at Brittany who was trying to lift her head and open her eyes, it broke my heart to see her like that. Then I looked at him, then back at her, then back at him.

"you’re Kyle," he nodded, and smiled. I punch him, again, and again

"how's it feel to get punched by someone bigger than you huh?" he punched me then i punched him. I kept punching him when someone grabbed my arm and Geno and Jordan held Kyle back.

"Sid Dude stop." Marc said

"you asshole." i said

"Sid we got him, Brittany needs you." Max said

"Let me tell you, as long as I'm around and in her life, you'll never go anywhere near her."

I let go of him, and went over to Brittany. I put one hand on the back of her neck and lifted her up a little. I put my hand to her side and she gasped.

"sorry" I choked , i took off my jacket, and wrapped it around her. 

She shook her head. She has a cut above her eye, and blood on her lip. 

"It's okay, now I gotcha ya." I pulled her close

"Sidney" she whisper

"yeah, baby"

"it hurts"

"I know, I’m gonna get you help" I said, holding back tears. 

"I called  911" V ran up, 

"Okay" I said, choking on my tears. 

Within ten minutes they were there. They took Brittany to hospital and Kyle went to jail. I told the cops what I saw. Then I followed them to the hospital.

When I got there, I called her parents. I was going nuts, I was walking back and forth.

"Sid, why don't you sit down" Vero said

"no, i can't, she's in there, I don't know what is going on there won't tell me anything" she put her hand on my shoulder and sat me down.

"calm down, relax"

"i love her"

"I know, and she is one of my best friends now, we're all worried about her. We're all here with you Sid, and here for her." I sat there with my head in my  hands.

"Sidney" I looked up. Her parents, brother, and her sister, were coming in.

"have you heard anything" her mom asked

"no, they won't tell me anything"

"why?"

"I'm not family"

"we'll find something. Don't worry."

I nodded, I watched them go up to the desk,and the nurse took them to her. I waited an hour. Then they came back out. I walked up to them

"How is she?"

"She's gonna be Okay, she's tired, she looks really weak, she got some really bad cuts and bruises, and she got two broken ribs." I took a deep breath, and put my head down.

"She's been asking for you." i looked back up 

"Can I go see her?"

"yeah, I'll talk to them, you can go back there."

"thank you" i nodded “thank you”

“Sweetheart” her mom grabbed my shoulders and stopped me. “Breathe,”  I took a deep breath “and Sidney thank you, you saved her life if you didn't get there. Who knows what he would have done."

I nodded and went to her room.

"Sid" her brother stopped me 

"yeah?

"Really, thank you for what you did, Brittany she's my.... little sister she means alot to me.

"You're welcome, I just can't believe some would do that to a girl."

"I know, thank you"

I nodded, and went to find out what room she was in, then went there.

I looked into the room. I saw her sitting in the bed, playing with her blanket, with her head down. I took one step into the room, and she looked up. I looked into her beautiful blue eyes. I barely noticed her busted lip and cut above her eye, and the bruises on her face. Her blue eyes started to fill with tears. I walked up to her. I held her hand.

"I would say don't cry but you've been through alot baby" She put her hands around my neck very lightly. “So cry” 

"thank you" she cried into my chest. I pulled her into a hug. she jumped

"sorry" I let go

"It's okay" she looked up at me. Her eyes were heavy.

"what?" she asked "I look horrible huh?" she put her head down.

"no" I slowly lifted her head back up."your beautiful"

"what?" she asked

"nothing"

"Sidney?"

"I don't know, I ....I um....It just.. I told you that I would never let anybody hurt you."

"Sidney, you got there just in time." She said "I'm gonna be okay, I might not look the same, or walk as fast for a while, but I'm going to be okay." 

"Are you sure?"

"Yes," I nodded. "I’m just scared, I guess." 

“he going away, you have nothing to be scared about” 

she nodded

"why don't you get some sleep? Okay” i stood up, i kissed her forehead. 

"Okay" she slowly laid down. I sat down in a chair next to her bed.

"Sid?"

"yeah?"

"Will you stay with me tonight?"

"Oh Yeah, I'm not going anywhere,"  I told her. 

I got a little sleep last night. I just laid in bed with my eyes closed. I was in so much pain, every time. I moved or breathed. After hours of just lying there, I picked up my head, and looked at the clock. It was 6:00 am I looked over at Sidney, who was lying on the couch with his back towards me. I put my head back down and I fell asleep for like an hour.

I got up at like 7:00am. I got up really slowly trying not to move my mid section too much. I looked over at the couch. Sid was gone and my mom walked in the room.

“Hey sweetheart.”

“Hi” i whispered

“how‘d you sleep?” she asked

“I didn't” 

“Tonight will better”

“I hope” I said “mom? Where‘d Sidney go?”

“He's still here, I think he went to get a cup of coffee.”

“okay”

A few minutes later Sidney came in.

“Good morning Miss Taylor, '' Sidney said, handing a cup to her. 

“Sidney, what did I tell you to call me?”

“good morning anne”

“that’s better”

“morning babe”

“morning”

“How are you feeling?” he grabbed my hand, 

“sore”

“Did you need anything?” he asked,  

“no, but I do have to go to the bathroom.”

“here sweetheart I‘ll help you” mom said

“I got her” Sidney said

“Okay”

He helped my out of bed

“Ow”

“careful, careful” he told me, he lightly put his hand on my waist, we got to the bathroom.

“I got it from here.”

“Are you sure?” he wouldn't let go of me 

“yeah, but if you hear me fall, come get me.”

“That's not funny” he looked at me. 

“I know, ill be okay.”

When I was done, I opened the door, Sid was standing by the door, he jumped up from leaning on the frame. He helped me back to the bed.

“thank you”

“Of course, baby” he kissed the top of my head, he started pulling the covers on me.

“Do you have practice today?”

“Yeah”

“Are you going?” I asked

“I don‘t know”

“You should go.”I reached for his hand, and he grabbed mine tight.

“I don---”

“Did you get any sleep?” I asked

“no” 

“go to practice, take a shower, take a nap.”

“Babe, I don‘t want to---”

“Sidney, I’m going to be fine.”

“Sid, she's right, I was talking to her doctor, he said that she could go home today.” my dad said

“really” I said

“yeah”

“so we can go to your place, get you packed up, and go home.”

“what?”

“You're coming home with us, you can‘t by yourself, you can barely walk.” mom said

“I don‘t want to go, I want to go back to my place.”

“I can stay with her” Sid said

“That’s very nice of you Sidney, but you have games, and stuff you won‘t be there most of the time.”

“Im on IR”

“Mom, I‘ll stay with him.”

“no, you're coming home.”

“Mom, no i'm an adult” i told her, i have to live my life the way i want i can't let this …. Stop me.”

“Okay…okay “ sidney whispered, he whipped the tears off my face. “Don’t get worked up” he told me  “Okay, I think I‘m gonna go to practice, then go to my place pack a bag, and i'll stay with you”

“Okay” he kissed me.

“I love you” I said

“I love you too, try to get some sleep.” he said, standing up, he turned towards my parents “keep me updated. My mother nodded. 

Hours later which felt like days. I was finally released, my parents drove me back to my place, where my mother still tried to get me to come home with her, it didn't work. I opened my front door. Sidney was standing in the kitchen, the whole place was clean. There was a vase of flowers sitting on the table.

“Babe?”

“Oh” he turned around. “Hey why didn't you call? I could have helped you up.” 

“We got her.” my dad 

“What did you-”

“Oh I cleaned, and went shopping, did some meal prep, so if there is any time I'm not here you can just pop it in, and you don't have to cook anything.” he said, i smiled at him.

“Well i have been corrected,” my mom said “ we’ll leave you two alone. If you need anything let us know.`` I hugged them goodbye. I looked back at Sidney, I smiled and I grabbed my side.

“Okay, let's get you set up on the couch, so you can rest.” Sid came around to me, helped me to the couch, and bought me a blanket. “Want some water? I'll get you some -”

“sidney”  i grabbed his hand, he turned and looked at me, and smiled “ i don't deserve you”

“You deserve the world.” i smiled back him 

“Just sit with me” i said

“Okay”

Chapter 7 

It was Thanksgiving , we pulled in front of my parents house. I took a deep breath. 

“Are you ready for this?” I asked 

“Are you ?” He asked me. 

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.

"okay"

"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 

"Thank you sir."

"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

in the house.

I looked back at him with a mean look.

"Why do you look so pissed off?"

"What do you think?"

"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."

"yeah I am"

"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.

I laughed

"He's with me." I said 

"really?"

I nodded.

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 

"Adam yes"

"I'm going to check on dinner" my mom said

"I'll help" I said

SID'S POV 

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

"why?"

"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. 

"hey" Brittany said, 

“hey” I smiled 

“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. 

Britt’s POV 

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. 

"boo!!"

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. 

"hello" he said to me. 

“H-“

"Sid" a girl yelled for him. 

"oh vero hey."

"hi" they hugged

"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."

"I hope so."

"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. 

"Since High School"

"wow"

"yeah"

Me and Vero talked for a while and we really hit it off. I went to find Sidney. 

"hey" I said 

"hey you and V really got along, eh." he said

"yeah, I really like her."

, “we should go too."

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 

“Yes” he laughed 

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

“what?"

"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?"

"New York"

"New York?"

"yeah"

“New York city?” 

“Yeah.” 

“Oh wow, ummm did you tell max?"

"Yeah, I don't know what he thinks, he really didn't say anything."

"I'm glad your going" 

“Thank you” she said 

Sid's Pov

I was lying in my hotel room. My phone rang. 

"hello"

"hi" she said in the sweetest tone. 

"What are you doing?" I asked 

"nothing , i miss you, how about you?"

"i miss you too” 

"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“ 

“That’s great baby “ 

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. 

Britt's Pov

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 would love to.” 

“Great” 

“Is it fancy ?” I smiled 

“I wouldn’t say fancy fancy but definitely dress up” 

“Alright.” 

“Is that okay?” 

“Oh my yes that’s fine “ 

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. 

"you nervous"

"yes" I nodded

"It’s okay" he said 

"are you okay" i asked

“yeah"

"you look really tired"

"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.

"Who is she?"

"I don't know, I think she came with Sid." The blonde said 

"There is no way."

"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."

he nodded “britt"

"I'm fine, Sidney," I said walking across the room. 

"Brittany, come on, I know something up"

I sat down on his bed. 

Brittany?"

"I'm scared, Okay" I kinda yelled feelin

"of what?"

"of us."

"us?"

"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. 

"Brittany"

"huh?"

"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. 

“I gotta go” 

“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."

"I'll try"

"See you in two days" he kissed me hard. 

"Yes” I smiled against his lips. 

"bye"

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."

"okay"

"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-"

"No”

"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

"Where?" he laughed 

"the Winter Classic"

"Really? You got it off"

“Yes sir.” 

“Ohh i like the yes sir.” he voice got low, i giggled. "I'm happy your coming"

"me too baby " I smiled, 

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. 

"really?"

"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”

“SIdney” i whispered

“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"

"yes" I said

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 “

“Babe” 

“I love you” i said 

“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” 

“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.

“What?”

“If you're not ready, it’s okay? He told me. “No, i'm excited” 

“Yeah?”

“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.

"relax" he said 

"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.

"I'm a waitress"

"Do you plan on doing that your whole life?" his dd asked

"Dad!" Sid said under his breath.

"I don't really know"

"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.

“Hi”

“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. 

"gave him time."

I looked at Sidney and bit my bottom lip.

We got on the ice, 

“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.

Sid's POV

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."

"Of course" he said

"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.

"How much did you hear?"

"all of it"

"Are you Okay?"

"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. 

Britt’s POV 

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."

"thank you" he said

"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.

"he apologize"

"He did?"

"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. 

"what-" I said

"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" I said

"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

"so are you" I laughed

"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

"me too"

"don't forget about me."

"I won't " she said we hugged

"Be careful" i told

" 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."

"what?"

"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."

"Need some help?"

"I was hoping you would"

he laughed.

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. 

Sid's POV

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.

Britt's POV

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 hope so"

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"

"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.

"hello" I said

"hey babe"

"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?"

"yeah"

“I was worried.” i said "how long are you going to be out for?"

"they said about two months."

"wow"

"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 "

"Okay, I love you too."

 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

“Does it now?”

“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 

"i don't know"

"well it's your birthday, so we got to do something"

" low key” 

“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.

"yeah. I'm cooking."

“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” 

“Of course baby” 

"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 .

"Yes I’m sure” 

"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, 

“Okay” he smiled

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.”

“You're perfect.” 

“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.

“Sidney”

“Open it”

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 love it.”

“It's like mine.”

“I can see that.” I smiled "Can you help me put it on?"

"yeah" he put it on me.

"I love it" I kissed him

"I'm glad"

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   

Sid's POV

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. 

"what are you doing?"

"Well, you cooked dinner and now I'm cooking breakfast."

"okay" I kissed he again

"What are we doing today? I have to work the late shift today." she asked

"the late shift" i said

"yeah"

"you never work the late shift."

"I know"

"Today I have to go to the arena. I got to see the doctor today."

"Okay, when?"

"here in a little"

"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'll start with water.

"Okay coming right up "

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.

"Sidney Crosby"

"really?" Britt said, and turned around, and she smiled

"hey" I said 

"What are you doing here, the game isn't even over yet." she asked, pointing towards the TV.

"it was boring"

"boring?"

"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."

"it's okay"

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."

"okay"

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.

"what?" I mumbled

"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

"me either"

We just laid there.

"How did the doctors go?" she asked, playing with my hand.

"oh, good! He said I could be on the ice within a week." 

"that great Sid"

"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?"

"yeah"

"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.

"how's it feeling?"

"pretty good" I was shooting pucks.I went to the runway, opened the door, and grabbed a pair of skates.

"What are they for?"

"you"

"no"

"yes"

"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.

“okay” 

"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 gotcha" I said

"I can skate, I just have to get used to it again."

"okay"

"I can mr. Crosby”

"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.

"What?" I asked

"Can I tell you something?"

"Of course"

"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.....”

“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. 

"I love you too."

"and you know what?"

"What?" she smiled 

"I'm getting cold."

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.

Britt's Pov

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."

"you think?"

"yeah"

"So you and Sidney are doing good?"

"were great" i smiled

"You two are too cute together." she said

I laughed “thank you” 

“You know what, what size are you?”

“What?” “You need this dress.”

“V , no” 

“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. 

“Vero” i said “no”

“Why not?”

“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.

"Brittany?" 

"Huh?" I jumped “what?”

"you and Sidney?"

"oh great"

"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."

"Okay" I mumbled

"Are you okay?" she asked 

"ahhhh...yeah...no.. I think I saw him."

"who?"

"Kyle”

"what?.....Kyle"

"yeah"

"where?"

"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.

"Sidney"

"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.

"Sidney, please

he shook his head, getting into his car.” i cant talk to you right now”

"where are you going"I asked

"home”

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?"

"no, I'm good, thanks"

I went home and I didn't know what to do.

Chapter 6 

Sid’s POV 

“Britt” I said , looking at her, her eyes were watery 

"When I was 17, I had a boyfriend. I wasn't as quiet as I am now but I was quiet, I had friends. I went to every sporting event. I hardly cared what people thought, when I got a boyfriend I thought everything was great. we got really close really fast.. He grew close to my family. Kyle and my brother became really good friends. but something happened, he started not liking anything I did. He started pushing me to do stuff I didn’t want to do. One day he pinned me on the couch. I told him to get off ….. of me, and he tightened his grip on me. I got a hand free  and slapped him, and he hit me across the face. I had a bruise on my side."

She stopped and took a deep breath. I grabbed her  hand. 

"face, I didn't tell anyone, I wore make-upto hide it. I didn't know what to do. When we were with our friends he acted like nothing was wrong. then weeks later I stay after school i was going down the stairs, and he was going up them, he asked me where i've been, because because ….. “ she stopped 

“Baby” I whispered 

“Because I was avoiding  him as much as I could. But I didn't answer him, he told me when he asked me something I better answer him , he hit me across the face again. I ran, and He grabbed my arm and threw me down."

She stopped, closed her eyes and opened them back up. I saw tears starting to fall. I wiped her face. 

"he threw me down the stairs.......he told me to get up but i couldn't. I was in so much pain. I knew I broke something. So he picked me up, and hit me again, and pushed me into the wall. Again I didn't tell anybody. I was scared if I told someone he wou;d hurt me worse. I kept the pain away from my parents. I don't know how I did it. It hurts so bad everytime I move. Everytime I take a breath." She was talking so fast now. I rubbed her back, and she went on. 

"A couple days later I was walking home. He drove up to me . I kept walking. He got out of his car, he grabbed me, I screamed trying to get away. He put me in the backseat of his car, and he got in. He tried to rip off my clothes and he got my shirt off. I was trying to stop him. He kept hitting me.” 

"Did he get that f-" I said. 

"He was so strong , but No he didn't. I punched him one time and kicked him, and he felt it. I got out of his car and started running to my house. I wasin so much pain when I got home nobody was home. I locked the doors. minutes later my mom, dad , and brother came home. I was crying so hard. “ 

She was crying hard now , so I wrapped my arms around her. Pulled her to my chest. “I could barely get it. them everything. They took me to the hospital. I had four broken ribs, bruises all over my body, black and blue eyes."  she cried into my chest. . It broke my heart to know what happened to her. I didn't know what to say. 

“Brittany, what happened to him?"I asked as she pulled, keeping her head down. “Hey” I lifted her chin. 

"He got charged as an adult, and didn't go to jail very long."

"Where's he now?"

"I don't know, '' she shook her head.

"That's why you want to go slow, you're scared." 

"it's not just that, the last guy i opened up to all that happend."

"brittany I - I would never never “ 

“I know you wouldn’t be, I felt like I needed to tell you. Before this goes any further. Because I want you “

“What?” I asked 

“I want you, but want you to know what I’m dealing with.” I grabbed her face , 

“Baby,  I am so sorry that that happened to you, and  it should have never happened. And I don’t ever want you to feel that again, especially with me.” She rubbed her face against my face. “Thank you for telling me” 

“Also I want you to know how safe you make me feel.” She said , I smiled at her, and she kissed me. I kissed her back. She pulled at the bottom of my shirt and pulled it out of my pants. I kissed down her neck and pulled her hair to one side. And then started unbuttoning my shirt . She pushed my shirt down my shoulders, and pulled my undershirt over my head. She looked at me, and swallowed. I grabbed her thighs and pulled her on my lap. I put my hand up her dress. She grabbed my hand. 

“Should we go to your r—“ 

“My room yes “ I told her she got up and I grabbed her hand, and led her to my bed. I turned her around, pulled her back against my chest, she giggled, I unzipped her dress, kissed her on the back of her neck. She turned around.

“You okay?” I asked 

“Yes.” She smiled, I grabbed her dress and pulled it down. 

“Ha” I smiled, biting my lip.

“What?” She asked , looking at she was going to cover her body with her arms. 

“No.” I grabbed her hands, “you're sexy.” 

“Sidn-“ she started to roll her eyes. 

“You are, look at these thighs.” I told her , I got on my knees.

“What are you doing?” She asked, and I put a finger into her black lace panties. 

“I’m going to show you how a woman should be taken care of in the bedroom.” I pulled them down, pushing her back a little to where the back of her legs touched the bed. “Sit down,” I whispered. I slowly opened her legs. She was breathing heavy, she was nervous, I could hear it in her voice, I was nervous. I wanted this to be perfect for her. 

“I’ll go slow.” I said touching her hand that was fisting the blank on the bed. 

“Thank you.” She said, not looking at me. 

“Hey” I said “Britt, babe look at me “  she slowly looked down.  “It’s okay.” 

“I know” she smiled , I kissed the inside of her thigh. I moved my hand up her thigh. I took one finger and played with her, I slowly inserted one finger inside her. She gasped, slowly I went in and out, in and out. I looked up at her and she was looking back at me. I went a little faster. Her body jumped and she closed her eyes, then added another finger. She grabbed my arm. 

“So good.” 

“Yeah?”  

“Yes” I removed my fingers , and stood up as she watched me,I touched her cheek. I leaned down and kissed her. 

“Lay back” I whispered again to her lips. , she did. I spread her legs even more. I kissed up her thighs. I got to her heat, and I kissed it again and again. I licked from the bottom to the top of his slit. I put my arm around her thighs.  She moaned, and I felt her body twist up and her head was thrown back and her back arched. I  moved her towards me, and went back down between , kissing and moving my tongue in and out. s

“Sidney” she breathed out, “sid—- I” I let go of her thighs, and crawled up to where I was face to face with  her. 

“Not yet “ I said, she smiled 

“So good.” 

“Good” I smiled and kissed her. 

Britt’s POV 

“Good” he said, and kissed me hard.  Took me  a second to realize that it wasn’t him I was tasting, it was me I was tasting. He was down there for a while, and did amazing things with his tongue. I started trying to undo his belt and my hands were shaking. I took a deep breath and looked down at his pants. 

“Okay baby” he grabbed my hands,  I giggled 

“I’m sorry” 

“Shh do not be sorry” he said, he took his pants off. And then his boxers. I look at him.

“Damn” I said out loud, he laughed “oh god.” I put my hand to my face and laid flat on my back. 

“We need to get rid of this” he pulled on my bra, I unhooked it and he pulled it off. 

“Nice” he smiled , he kissed my neck, and down my chest, and sucked on my nipple. He climbed on top of me. 

“Do you have a condom?“ I asked 

“Oh yes” he reached across me into the night stand draw. He held up. He ripped it open and slide it on himself 

“Is this okay?” He asked 

“Yes.” I pulled him closer to me. He held Himself and slowly worked himself into me. I gasped as he filled me. I grabbed ahold of his shoulders

“More” I whispered , I moaned 

“You okay?” 

“Yes keep going” I told him, once he was all the way in I felt so full. He slowly works going in and out. 

“Does this hurt ?” He asked 

“No, it's so good.” I threw my head back , and he kissed my neck. He reached up and pinched my nipple. I screamed. I covered my mouth with my hand. 

“Let it out.” 

“Sidney” 

“What is my name ?” 

“Sidney “ I moaned his name, and he went faster and after. 

“I went to watch you come.” He said, the same time my back arched. I grabbed the back of Sidney's arms. 

“I think I am …. Oh my ….. god Sidney …. I “ I let out a scream and moaned at the same time pretty sure and squeezed the back of his arm so hard. He pumped out a couple more times. 

“Ohhh “ he let out a long moan and collapsed on top of me. I was breathing really heavily , I smiled as he rolled off of me. I looked at him and he was taking off the candom and throwing it away . I felt like I couldn’t move. My whole body felt numb . In the best way possible. He turned and looked at me. 

“Hi he said

“Hi” I laughed,we got under the blankets, I wrapped them around my chest. Rolled on my side to face him.

“How was it?” He asked

“ It was amazing, you were amazing, You are amazing. Thank you“ I told him “ thank you for being gentle, and caring.” He wrapped his arm around and pulled me into his chest. 

“Of course”he kissed my forehead. 

The next morning I woke up, stretched my legs and looked up at Sidney who was still asleep. I tightened my arms around him. Laid my head back on his chest. we're still naked. I felt his arm that was around me squeeze me. I heard his throat clear. 

“Good morning, baby” I heard him, I smiled 

“Morning” 

“How are you feeling?” He asked 

“Perfect” I looked up at him, he licked his lips, and slowly opened his eyes, and looked down. And smiled. 

“Ughh” he said, he rolled his eyes

"what?"

"The best way to wake up in the morning." He said , i laughed at him. “You’re just so beautiful”  

“Your arms are the best place to be” I told him, he took his other arms, wrapped them around me , and squeezed me so tight. I laughed 

“Was it everything you thought?” He asked 

“And so much more” I said, grabbing his hand and playing with it . Then we heard a ringing in the other room. 

"Is that you?” He asked 

“I think, “ 

“I'll go get it.” He started getting up 

“Oh no don’t leave” he laughed , 

“I’ll be back.” He walked into the bathroom, I let myself sink into his bed, he had the comfy bed ever. I closed my eyes  and laid there. 

“Umm babe” I opened my eyes, he was holding my phone. 

“It’s after nine.” He said 

“Oh shit.” He handed me my phone. I had two miss calls from Jessica and like a dozen texts. 

Where are you

Are you coming to work

Hello 

Brittany Nicole ! 

Hello

Where 

Are 

You”

I text her back. I am fine, at Sidney’s I’m not going to make it in today, sorry.  I typed out. And then reached oh we and put my phone and the night stand. 

“Do you need to leave ?” He asked 

“No, I’m not going today.” I said, he crawled up the bed. 

“I do have practice today.” 

“How long do we have ?” 

“Like an hour.” He kissed my creek. “Britt.” He said, wrapping an arm around me and laying his head beside mine. 

“Yes “ 

“about what you told me last night .” He said, I looked at him. “ thank you for telling me” 

“Of course, I trust you.” He kissed me“also” I grabbed his hand between our chest. “I never told anyone that.” 

“Really?” 

“Yeah.” 

“I’m glad you trusted me with it” I nodded, 

“And last night was more than I could have imagined” I told him, he smiled, he let go of my hand and ran it over my naked hip, to my butt and squeezed. I giggled. 

“Good.” He kissed me, pulling me closer. I could feel his hard self again on my thigh. “I want you again and again.” He whispered, going under the covers and starting kissing my boobs, he sucked on one nipple as he played with the other one  and made his way down opening my legs. He worked down there until my legs started shaking. 

“Oh you’re ready.” He said, poking his head back, and reached for the night stand. He went to rip it open. 

“Can I?” I whispered, grabbing his hand. 

“Oh please baby.” I ripped it open, he threw the blankets off us a little so I could see. I wrapped my hand around him. 

“Is this okay?” I asked 

“Oh yeah.” I worked my hand up and down as he was on top of me. 

“You can squeeze tighter.” He said , I did “faster.” He whispered , I did at the same time he reached a hand down and slipped two fingers inside me. I gasped. As he matched my pace and in and out. 

“Oh my.” 

“Babe if you keep doing that, I'll come all over you.” He said, starting to bite his lip. 

“Do it” I said 

“What ?” 

“Do it. You watched me, I want to watch you.” I looked him in the eyes. 

“Are you sure you’re ready for that?” He asked as I nodded, and we kept eye contact as my hand moved faster and faster.

“Oh yeah, I … ohhh” he let out a loud moan and he unloaded  over my stomach. His eyes never closed. We just watched each other until I looked down to watch the end of it. He took his hand that was inside of me and grabbed the condom that was now laying on the bed and in what I swear was one movement he put the condom on, picked me up and interested himself in me. I wrapped my arms around his neck. And he thrusted into me faster. My nail clawed into his back. 

“Sidney Ahhh” I held on to him and he reached with the hand that was holding me, and touched my clit. “Oh my god.” What felt like a bolt of lightning went through my body.  “Ohhhhh'' my head fell back, and my eyes closed, “yes.” He slowly laid me on the bed, and pulled out. 

“Oh my.. you “ I said and he laid beside me, we were covered in sweat and him. 

“I’m going to get a towel.” He got up and walked naked to the bathroom and I watched him. He walked right back out, wiping his chest. He looked up and smiled 

“Like what you see.” 

“So much” I smiled , he got into bed and cleaned me off. “Did I do Okay?” I asked , his head shot up 

“Okay? okay?  , and you did awesome “ he laughed “I never want to leave this bed” I touched his cheek. And he kissed my palm.  His eyes drifted from

Mine. 

“Ah shit” he jumped up 

“What?” I pulled the blanket to my chest.

“I have practice in 30 minutes.” He grabbed a pair of boxers off the floor. I looked around for my clothes. I slipped my dress on. Sidney came up behind me and kissed my neck, zipped up my dress  and handed me a sweatshirt 

“Come to my practice?” He asked 

“Yes.” I threw the sweatshirt over my head , and went into the bathroom, when I came out Sidney was putting a hat on. 

After he changed we went down the steps. I was in front of him and I came to the bottom of the steps. I stopped dead.

"oh" I said, seeing Mario and his wife standing there.

"well hello" his wife said

"ahh" Sidney said, running into the back of me. 

"sorry" he said to me

"You must be Brittany?" Mario wife said

"yes hello"

"I'm Natalie, it's nice to meet you too."

"this is my husband, Mario"

"hello" he said

"hi"

"we were.. just watching TV...and we fell asleep." Sid told them

"We don't need to know what you were doing,”Mario laughed at him . And I’m pretty I’m standing looking terrified that’s they heard us last night or this morning 

"Okay" he said as I looked back at him, he took a deep breath.

"do you two want anything to eat."she asked

"no thank you, I’m late for practice “ 

"Okay"

"bye"

"nice to meet you two" i said

"You too sweetie. “Mario wife said

We were in his car on the way to the arena. 

“Mario lemieux.” I said “you told Mario lemieux about me “ I looked over at Sidney 

“Hell yeah I did” 

“He knows who I am” I said 

“Are you okay? I feel like you're about to have a breakdown or start freaking out.” 

“No no I’m fine, that's just crazy.” He reached over and grabbed my hand. 

We pulled in the player parking lot 

“Are you going to get fined ?” I asked 

“No,”he laughed, “it’s okay. Come on” we walked in I put my hair

Into a messing bun. I smell like sex I’m pretty sure smell like sex and I’m really hoping I don’t talk to anyone. 

I sat at the top of the lower bowl, and watched them practice. I probably fixed my hair like seven times. And I feel like I haven’t slept in days. Well they got off the ice. I was just there. I didn't know where or what to do, almost an hour later. Sidney sat down next to me. 

“I feel like I’ve been working out for day “ he said 

“Did I wear you out ?” I whispered to him. 

“Ohh “ he laughed “oh no I could go again.” 

“Really ?” I smiled, “I bet you could.” And he kissed me . “But all I want to do is go home and get a shower.” I told him. 

“Yeah me too, I skipped the shower because you were waiting and I think that would be kind of mean.” He laughed 

“Yeah a little” 

“Come on” he stood up taking my hand.

He dropped meoff at home, and I was truly on cloud nine. As I stripped out of my clothes to get in the shower I swear I can still feel his hands all over me.

Chapter 5 

Sid's POV

That Thursday I stopped at Brittany's work. She was behind the counter. 

"Hey, what are you doing here?" she asked

"I was just passing by, I thought I came in." I kissed her cheek.

"I'm glad you did." She said "I'll be right back." She said and went to wait on some people. 

"You're pretty busy today.” i said

"Yeah just a little, do you want anything ?” she asked 

“No babe im good” I told,she smiled at me. “What ?” I asked , touching my face.

“Nothing” she shook her head. “So I was thinking, because you leave tomorrow, do you want to come over to my place tonight for dinner and watch some TV?" she bit her lip 

“Yes," some people yelled for her.

"Okay, I got off at 3 so when you went to come over" she said, starting to walk away. I turned around. I nodded, with a goofy grin on my face.

"okay" she kissed me

"See you tonight," I said. I watched her walk away. She was truly beautiful on the inside and outside,  and sexy. She was so sexyHer thick thighs, and way hips go back and forth when she walks, long dark brown hair.i could feel my pants get tighter. I had to get out of here.   

Later I was on my way to Brittany's, I went to knock on the door, before I could and it opened.

"Hey Sid"

"Hello Jessica, out with Max tonight?"

"Yeah, so you and Britt will be alone."

"Goodbye Jess." Brittany said, walking up behind her.

"hi" she said to me. 

"hey" we both looked at Jessica. 

"Okay, I'm leaving."Jessica walked out the door, as I stepped into the apartment closing the door behind me. BRitt had her hair tied up in a bun on top of her hair, and loose t shirt, with leggings on. 

"Umm I got off work kinda late so I thought we just order pizza, and watch TV, is that okay." she said, turning her back towards me, i grabbed her hand, and turned her towards me.

“oh “ he grabbed my shoulders, and grabbed her hips.

“Hi” i smiled

“Hello” she closed her eyes, and i kissed her.   

"yeah, that fine" i said

“Huh?”

“Ordering pizza” I said

“Oh okay yeah. I'll go order.” she said, i let her go.

Britt’s POV 

I paid the pizza guy, We ate and laid on the couch, watching tv turned into us making out on the couch like high school students. I couldn’t help myself, I couldn't take my hand off of him. He hand started down my legging. 

“Okay slow.” i said 

“Slow” he agreed.and he hand traveled up my shirt. 

“Slow” i said again

“Okay britt” he put his forehead against mine. “I'm gonna have to stop.”

“oh “ 

“Oh no not because it's bad, but because I'm gonna ummm if dont stop.” he said, I looked down at his pants, his jogger when you could see everything. He straightened up and pulled on his pants. 

“Oh umm does it brother you that i want to go slow when it comes to sex?” I asked him, trying not to look at him.

“What ? no not at all” he said, i turned towards. I’m just not ready for the sex, and i have my reason why not, im not reason to tell him all that. 

“Can I tell you something though?” i asked him

“Anything”  he leaned closer to me. 

“ Um, I'm a virgin,'' I said, keeping my head looking at my hands.

“Okay”. He said 

“Okay?’ I lifted my head up.

“Okay”

“You're not freaked?” i asked him 

“ Why would I be freaked out? “

“Because most guys would be.” I told him. 

“ I’m not most guys, We can wait as long as you want and need. “ he said, starting to put his hands up. “ Just don’t be upset or mad if I have to leave the room. He’s got a mind of his own and sometimes and I can’t help that you are sexy”  he smiled 

“Sidney” 

“It’s true” I smiled at me and leaned and kissed me. 

“Let’s watch a movie baby.” He pulled me into himself when we laid them until I woke up at 4:00 am in my bed. I rolled over and on the pillow was a note. 

Brittany,

I locked up, and you are so peaceful when you sleep. I'll call you tomorrow. 

xoxo Sidney.

I got out of bed, went to the bathroom, and changed into my pj's. I want to go back to bed. I woke up the next morning and got ready for work. Jessica looked so tired. 

"What time do you get home?" I asked

"Like midnight, what time does Sidney leave?"

"I don't know, I fell asleep" when i said that my phone rang. 

"hello"

"Good morning sunshine" Sid said

"good morning, hey thanks last night , you i know for locking up and stuff."

"your welcome."

"I'm sorry, I fell asleep on you."

"Oh no don’t be” 

"I feel bad"

"No reason, you look so peaceful."

"When do you leave?"

"right after practice, you gonna watch the game"

“Of course “ I smiled 

"good" he said I laughed

"I got to go to work."

"Okay I'll talk to you later,"

"okay, good luck"

"thanks bye"

"bye"

On Saturday night me and Jessica were at home watching the game cheering on our boys. In the first period Erik Christensen scored for the penguins. The second period, the Penguins had three goals. Sid had his first of the season. Max also scored a goal. So did Ryan Malone. In the third period Sid and Max both had another goal, Sid got a power play goal. Max with an empty netter. The final score was 6-4 penguins. 

“That’s was a good game “ Jessica said 

“ i’m so glad you’re finally into this“ I said she laughed at me. 

“ So real talk, have you and Sidney … have sex yet?” She asked 

“Ahh no I am just not there yet.”

“Have you talked to him and told him what happened?” I shook my head. 

“ Its crazy because I know he would be so understanding so sweet about everything. But I just can’t bring myself to open that part of me up to him.” I said “ I think I’m falling in love with him” 

“Britt” 

“It’s so hard, every time we’re making out and it goes a little bit further I freeze and I just say I’m not ready. And I know one thing: he's going to get so frustrated.” 

“You don’t know that.” 

“ What Man wouldn't.” I said, and a tear fell from my eye. 

“ Britt I’ve known you for a long time and I watched you go through what you went through, and I watched you shut down. But I have never seen you so happy then I have in the last couple months because you’ve been with him.” She said, “I believe you can tell him anything, and it's going to be okay.” I looked at her and wiped the tears from my eyes. 

About two weeks later. Sidney and I are doing great. We would see each other every free second we had. We couldn’t keep our hands off of each other. I was going to my parents this weekend. It’s the first weekend that sidney will be home and I’ll be away. 

"Mom, Dad," I said walking in the house. 

"hi baby" my mom hugged me “what are you doing here ?” 

“Though I would like to visit.” 

“Where’s dad?” I asked 

“He’s at work” she said , and we walked into the kitchen "what have you been up to?"

"nothing really, working"I sat down at the kitchen table. 

"how"s Jessica"

"good, she has a new boyfriend.” 

“New ?” My mom asked,she turned around “What happened to Andrew?” 

“She found someone new.” I said “he actually is a good guy, I like him a lot” I said 

“How about you?” She asked 

“What about me ?” 

“Seeing anyone.” She said 

“Ummm “ I just looked at her as I was ready to tell my parents about him. It had nothing to do with him being Sidney Crosby. It had everything about me being in a relationship. They can be a a little judgmental, I have always been the black sleep in the family. I’m different, I love being different. But no one in the family understands me. And then everything that I went through in high school a little part of me thinks that they look at me  even more differently. 

“I actually am” 

"what?" She asked “really?” 

"yeah, for a couple months, it’s still very new"

"What's his name?"

"Sid"

"what he likes, What's he look like? What’s he do for a living"

"mom"

"what come on? It's been a long time since you have been interested in someone. “

"Fine, he's really sweet, funny, kind, he's has the most amazing hazel eyes I have ever seen mom he's really cute.”

“Okay so does he have a job? “ 

"who we talking about?" Sara asked, coming into the kitchen. 

"your sister boyfriend"

“Mom” 

“Boyfriend?” Sara laughed 

"Is that so hard to believe?" I asked her to turn in my chair to face her. 

"well..yeah"

"why?"

"because you never had a boyfriend"

"I've had boyfriends"

"yeah like one kind of" I just looked at her. I was getting angry 

"okay girls come on" my mom said "tell us More about him"

"no"

“Britt come on, what’s he doing?" my mom asked i took a deep breath

“Hockey” I said , putting head down 

“Hockey?” 

“He’s plays hockey professionally “ 

“Professionally?” Sara asked 

“Sid” my mom said 

"as in Sidney Crosby" I looked at her, Sara started laughing 

"oh now we know she is lying" Sara walked out of the room. 

"I'm not lying" I said following her

"yeah sure"

"I'm not" I pulled out my phone , and scrolled through my pictures. I stopped at a picture of Sidney and I from like a week ago , we were at the point , we have been exploring the city as much as we can together. In the picture I’m holding his face and kissing his cheek as hard as I can. 

“Here” I turned my phone towards her, she grabbed it from me. 

“Oh my god” 

“Yeah” I grabbed the phone back so fast 

"Ask him to come to Thanksgiving" mom said walking out of the kitchen. 

"Wha? No"

"why not”Sara asked crossing her arms 

"Well it’s still new, and it thanksgiving.” 

"ask him"

"mom, he does even have the same Thanksgiving he’s Canadian"

"so, that does mean he can't come for dinner."

"mom"

"ask him"

"I......Okay I’ll think about it.” I rolled my eyes

"Good"

I was in my room, with my parents. I don’t know why I decided to stay the night, I hate being here. I sent Sidney a text. That I missed him . When there was a knock at the door.

“Come in” I sat up on the bed 

"hey" my dad said 

“Hi” 

"this boy"

"Oh god dad"

"no I want to know more about him"

"there is not that much to tell" I lied there really a lot to tell, I just didn't want to talk about him.

"well then I'm going to ask is he really -"

"yes dad he is Sidney Crosby"

"Does he treat you right?"

"yes, a perfect gentlemen” 

“That's what I care about sweetie.” He said.

We talked some more, and he finally left when my phone rang. It was Sidney. 

"hey you"

"hey how it with you parents"

"okay, it could be better"

"what happened?"

"nothing really, my sister is just a Bitch"

"why?" He laughed

"I was telling my mom about you, and I don’t think Sara believe me"

"Are we dating?"

"No,  well yes but that I have a boyfriend at all." I said laid on my back. 

"Why?"

"Because I haven't really had that many boyfriends, and when she heard it was you she said i was lying" I said quietly “because you’re the captain of the Pittsburgh penguins” I smiled, he giggled 

"well I know you not lying" He said “and I think that counts for the a lot “ 

“You’re opinion is the only one that matters”I told him 

“Make me feel special “ I laughed 

"good morning"I yawned to my mom

"good morning how'd you sleep"

"good"

"I thought we could go shopping today just you and me." my mom said

"Yeah,that sounds great, I'm going to get a shower."

"We'll leave as soon as you're ready."

"okay"

I went upstairs, got a showere, got dressed and we were on our way to the mall. 

We were there for about an hour now. I was going Through a rack of shirts. 

"So is there anything else about this guy you want to tell me."

"This guy has the name mom." I laughed 

"Okay, anything else about Sidney."

"That's better, not really, we just started dating.”."

“Have you two had sex.” 

“Mom !” I looked around the store 

“I know you’re in your 20s.” She said “and it is none of my business” 

“It’s not.” I told her. 

“I just want to know of he is being gentle with you”

“If he wasn't would have put a stop to it. 

"Have you told him ?”

“No mom , saying you're high school boyfriend tried to rape you , along with all the other terrible thing he did . Is not something you bring up on a first date.” 

“I know Brittany.” 

I was back home in Pittsburgh. Sidney is on a road Trip. He had four games left, I wanted to call him,and my phone rang. 

"hey" I smiled, answering it. 

"hello beautiful “ 

"I was just going to call you."

"really?"

"yeah, i wanted to say good luck."

"thanks" he said "how was work today"

"Busy, all I want to do is get a bath and watch your game."

“That’s hot” he said, I giggled 

"yeah i watch every game." I yawned, “I have to cheer on my man “ 

"Well, we're getting ready to go to the arena , I just want to hear your voice. so I'll talk to you later."

" good luck"

"thanks, babe “

that night they losted 3-1

a week later Sidney was home, i haven't seen him yet.he said he was gonna stop by at some point today. 

"Why is it so slow today?" I asked Jessica, spinning on a bar stool. 

"I don't know." Jess said

“This sucks.” I said 

i heard the door ding, 

"but your day just got better." she pointed

"what?" I turned and saw Sidney walking in. I looked at him and he winked at me. I jumped off the stool, he put his arms around my waist and I put my arms around his neck. I laughed when he held  me so tight. 

"I feel like I've haven’t seen you in  forever."

"Only a week," I laughed. He kissed me hard. He pulled away. 

"I can only stay for a little, I have practice ." he said "but i wanted to know if you wanted to go to dinner tonight."

i nodded "yeah"

"okay I'll pick you up” 

"Okay" he kissed me and was about to walk to the door. 

"oh yeah dress up"

He kissed me one More time, then went to practice.

Dress up? I don't dress up. 

At 7:00 I was all ready to go. I have on a black dress, always my go to it’s slimingz it had long flow lay sleeves

when we got to the restaurant. they seated us as soon as we got there, we were eating. 

“I hope this isn’t to much.” He said “I just thought it would be nice to get a little dressed up and show you off a bit” 

“Oh Sidney it is so nice ! This food is amazing and this building is beautiful.” I looked at the ceiling. It used to be an old train station that turned into a restaurant . I have never thought I would actually get to come here one day. 

“I’ve never been here and always wanted to.” He said 

"so i really didn't get to talk to you got back from your parents how it go with your sister?" he asked

"We're not talking right now."

“She does?” I asked 

“Yeah , and she can’t wait to meet you." He reached across the table and grabbed my hand.

"I can't wait to meet her too.” He rubbed my hand.

"This is nice." I said

"Yeah it's not bad," he said, taking his jacket and shoes off sitting on the couch, turning on the TV. 

"well you're gonna come here?" he said

I smiled and took off my heels, and wrapped my arms around his waist, looked up and kissed him. He wrapped his arms around me. I kissed him back. I ran my hand out his chest, he put a hand in my hair to deepen our kiss. His other hand ran up my leg.  I pulled away and he put his forehead to mine. 

“There is something I need to tell you.” I whispered,  closing my eyes 

“Everything okay?” He asked, and I shook my head  “Britt.” He pulled away, lifting my chin. I look at him.

Chapter 4

Sid's POV

Almost two month later I was back in Pittsburgh to start the season. I've had training camp, off ice training. Brittany and I haven't seen much of each other, she worked a lot, and I was starting the season.  . And now the first home game is this Saturday afternoon game.

I called Brittany on my way home form the rink

"Hey, what are you doing this Saturday?" i asked, she giggled

“Hello to you Sidney”

“Hi Britt.” I smiled, “So what are you doing saturday?” i asked again

"Sitting at home with a bowl of popcorn watching your game. Why?"

"How about you leave the bowl of popcorn at home and come to my game."

"really?"

"yes, and we can maybe go out afterwards like another _"

"Another  date?" she asked

"yeah"

"I would love to." she said

"Awesome, I'll leave the ticket up front and tell them your name, I think Max asked Jessica. So you won't be by yourself"

"Okay, I cannot wait"  she said

"I can't wait to see you” I told her

Britt's POV

That Saturday I had on skinny jeans and a penguin shirt.

"You can't wear that." Jessica told me.

"I can't wear a penguins shirt to a penguins game."

"yeah"

"that makes alot of scents"I said as she was pushing me into my room. “Jessica stop”

"You guys are going out to dinner after, right?"

"yeah"

"so you going to look nice"

"but he knows I'm a fan."

"so" she said

"So I'm wearing the shirt, with this leather jacket, and jeans. I think he will like it” i told him

“You're going on a date.”

“Yeah and if he wanted me to dress up i think he would have told me” i said,

On our way to the game Jess was driving, and I was staring out the window, and took a deep breath. I've been to hundreds of penguins, this is the first time as SIdney Crosby’s, whatever I am to Sidney Crosby.

"You Okay?" Jessica asked

"yeah"

"nervous?"

"a little" i played with my hands. And cleared me throat

"you really like him"

"yeah i do" i said “ and i want this work, and this is his territory “ i continued to look out the window.

We got to the arena, gave the lady my name and she gave us our tickets. We got some drinks. And found our seats were a few rows behind the penalty box. The game started the first period and Petr Sykora had a goal. In the second period Colby Armstrong. Evgeni Malkin both has goals. During the second period Serger Gonchar got a penalty and Sidney brought his stick to him and he looked up at me and smiled and winked, and I smiled and he skated away. I was really shocked Jessica got really into it. The third period Petr Sykora got another goal. Ryan Malone also got a goal. Sid got an assist. The period was over. They won 5-4.

"What do we do now?" Jessica asked, looking up the screen with big letters that say PENS WIN

"I don't know" i laughed, looking around

"miss?" a usher asked

"Yes"

"Are you two her to see Mr. Crosby"

"yea I am" i put hand to my chest

"Can you come with me?"

"Okay"  I looked back at Jessica,and shrugged her shoulders . We followed him down to what looked like a player lounge of some sort..

"You can wait for him here." the man said

“ thanks you"

We waited for a little bit and Max came into the room.

“Ladies” she grabbed Jessica's hip  "Sid said he'll be out in a bit."

"Okay" he hugged Jessica and kissed her.

"so this must be Sid's new girl." Colby Armstrong said, putting his arm around me.

"I'm not his girl."

"Yet" Jessica said

"yeah" I laughed

Sid's POV

I walked out to the locker room. I saw Britt standing there. With Colby arm around her. She looked beautiful with her dark brown hair up in a ponytail and blue eyes, and penguins gear. I smiled.

"What's he telling you?" I said taking Colby's arm off her and putting my arm around her.

"nothing" colby said

"You look great." I told her in her ear, as I pulled her into a hug.

"Thanks, you look pretty good yourself."

"thanks"

"you ready to go"

"yeah"

Britt's POV

We went to his car and he signed some autographs. We talked and we pulled up to this park. He helped me out of the car.

“Thank you” I smiled while holding his hand.

"What are we doing here?"

"You'll see," he said, squeezing my hand and we walked up a stone path to a gazebo. Inside there were lights with a table with dinner. my mouth dropped open.

"Oh my god, Sidney”

"dinner awaits" he said I looked at him, and he led me into the gazebo, and pulled out my chair, I sat down and so did he. He took the lid off our food.

"how'd you do this" I asked

"I had a little help."

"it looks amazing"

"Thanks, I wanted to do something nice,and different for you.”

“I should have worn something nicer.” I said, pulling at my jacket.

“No no, i look amazing , you wore my number tonight, i like that alot.” he reached for my hand, and grabbed it across the table.

We started to eat, laughed, and talked.

"The game was great." I said

"Did you have fun?"

"Yes, the best time ever, and even better getting to cheer you on.” he smiled at me.

When we were done we went for a walk through the park, hand and hand.

"Can I ask you something?" he said

"yeah"

"why when I give you a compliment you look so embarrassed?"

"I don't know, I guess I'm not really used to it." I said, putting my head down.

"I don't know why, you are beautiful." he said, moving a piece of hair from my eyes. I could tell I was getting red.

"Why are you so shy?" He asked as we sat down on a bench.

"I don't know, I've been like this for as long as I remember, I've been the bigger friend my whole life., and I've been kind of pushed to the sidelines. Trust me, I want to be more open." i said "something you should know”

“Yeah” he said

“It might not seem like it, but you're the only guy that --- this -  " I pointed in between us. “This is easy for me. You make it easy”

"Really?" he asked

"yeah" I said and locked up into his eyes. He leaned down towards my face, I put my hand on his leg, he wrapped his arm around me and our lips touched. He pulled me closer, I didn't think it was possible.  We pulled apart, I smiled at him.

“Also you will never be on the sidelines with me.” he whispered, I giggled and he kissed me again.

We were standing out front of my door. I ran my hand up to his shoulder, and he put his arm around my waist, he held me tight. I felt his lips on mine. I closed my eyes, and put my hands in his hair. He held me tighter. our lips broke apart. We just stared at each other. Sidney smiled, so did I. “When can I see you again?” he asked

“Whenever you want.” i smiled “I’ll call you” he kissed me again. "Goodnight" he said, kissing me on the cheek.

"Goodnight"

I walked into the apartment and I couldn't keep the smile off my face. I turned on the light. I saw Max jump off the couch. Jessica turned around.

"om my g- I'm.. I .. I'm going to bed."

"no I'll leave" max said

"no really I'm tired, I'll go, finish what you were doing." I said, shaking my head going to my room.

"How was your date?" Jessica asked me.

"good" I said, starting to smile again and went into my room.

I got ready for bed. I flopped down on my bed Jessica walked in.

"So your date was good?"she leaned in the doorway.

"Yeah,  it was great, so great.” I smiled

"I can tell"

“I feel like a high school student” I told her

“All Giddy and what not?” She asked

“Yes “  we laughed

"I'm going to bed." she said.

“Okay, hey do you work tomorrow?"

"Yeah, same as you."

"Okay"

The next morning me and Jess got up and got ready for work at a small restaurant. It was lunch time. We were really slow. I was in the back. I came out from behind the counter when a group walked in.

“Jess” I smiled, not taking my eyes off of Sidney. She got up off a stool  and made her way to Max. Sidney walked up

To me.

"Hi” he smiled, giving me a hug.

"hey sidney" I said into his chest

“You said I can see you whenever" pulling back home to look at me.

“I did, “ I said, pulling him back into a hug.

“Can we sit wherever ?” Colby asked

“Yes, please wherever” I said, letting go of Sidney. Colby and Geno and, say , Max and Sid followed.

“Is it okay we’re here? Sis asked me.

“Oh my god yes.” I laughed,  “What do you guys want to drink?"I asked

I took their order, and they were eating while we all were talking.

"why don't you two join us?" max asked

"no were working" Jessica said

"Look like you're working," Max said.

"There's nobody here, just you guys." jess told him

everybody started to laugh. I looked over at Sidney, who was staring at me. I pulled a chair up beside him, And sat down, he leaned into me

“Hi” he whispered

“Is it good?” I asked

“ One of the best club sandwiches I have ever had honestly”  he said, taking a fry off his plate and handing it to me. I popped it into my mouth and smiled. He watched my mouth as I chewed the fry.

"So What's going on here?" Colby said, looking at me and Sidney, pointing at us. Sidney and I looked away from each other

I smiled with my mouth open, looking down not knowing what to say.

"so?..." colby asked

"I am not having this conversation with you army “ sid told him, looking at me and he winked at me. This man has something over me my whole body just melted

when they were leaving. Sidney pulled me off to the side.

"I'll be right there" he yelled to his friend.

"What time do you get off?"

"three, why?"

"You know the park was last night" I nodded. " Well they play movies every sunday. '' I wanted to know if you want to go."

"yes”

"Great. It starts at 7:30. I'll pick you up at 7:00."

"Okay" I said and he kissed me on the cheek. I took a deep breath as I watched him leave out the door.  I turned around

"You two aren't together at all." Jessica said.

"not at all" i laughed

"oh come on you two could not stop looking at each other."

"well" I laughed “he’s nice to look at”

When I got home, got a shower, and got ready, I had on a pair of nice black joggers, and tshirt and a jean jacket. I fixed my hair and I was walking out of my room, fixing my earring.

“Joggers?”jessica questioned me

“Stop, we're watching a movie in a park” I told her. . a little before 7:00. Sidney was at the door,

“Hello” I said, and he handed me a hot Togo cup.

“Hot chocolate?”

“Thank you, that’s sweet” I said , I smiled , I looked him up and down

“What?”

“Nice joggers” I said

“Oh thanks, gotta be comfy for a movie.”  "ready to go" he asked

"yes, please" I gave him his hand.

In the car

"I didn't know this park was playing a movie." i said

"I didn't either,  until I read it in the paper this week."

“You read the paper .”

“Yeah I’m old school”

“I like that, people say I have an old soul. “

“I can see that .”

“Yeah?”

“You don’t seem like other girls .”

“I take that as a complement.” I smiled at him

“You should” he said, and reached over and grabbed my hand. I took my other hand and covered our intertwined fingers.

“I like you” he said, I looked at him he was staring straight ahead

"what?" I asked

“I like you.” He repeated , I brought his hand to my lips and kissed it.

“I like you, “ I whispered. , looking over at him , a small smile took over his face.

We pulled into the parking lot. He parked the car. We got out, Sidney went to the back of the car. I followed. He opened it up and got two blankets and a basket.

"Here let me help." I said taking the blankets.

"thanks" he said, shutting the back.

"so...where do you want to sit ?” I asked

“How about under that tree.” He pointed to a big that was kind of away from the few people that were there. We laid a blanket down  and both sat. He pulled at popcorn, and some candy from the basket

"Well you think of everything."

“Yes I do."he smiled, i laughed at him.

The movie started and we were just sitting there, eating popcorn. Sidney grabbed my hand.

“Hey” he whispered, pulling me towards him.

“Yeah.” He kissed me, his hands went to my face and my hands touched his thighs. He pulled my body closer. we pulled apart. I looked at him, I could tell mouth was hanging open slightly.

“I've been wanting to do that all day.” He whispered, he took my breath away. I had no words . And then my body just took over. I kissed him, as hard as he just kissed me.this wasn’t me , but maybe it was a girl that is not afraid to grab the guy she is seeing and just kiss him because She wants to. Not afraid to tell and show people who I am. And maybe it is crazy to think that this man I have only known for a couple months, Made me have this realization, but crazier things have happened to me and in this world. I’m gonna let myself be happy because I am comfortable and I feel safe with this man. And hopefully one day I’ll be able to tell him why I feel safe . We pulled apart

“Damn”he smiled

“Sor— I stopped myself , because I wasn’t sorry. I’m glad I did it.

“Oh you’re not sitting that far away after that.” He said pulling me to where I was sitting in between his legs, using his chest as a pillow. He kissed my forehead. I looked up at him. He smiled. I kissed him. We watched the movie.

"Are you cold?"Sid asked

"a little"

"Here" he said, grabbing the other blanket, and putting it over us, we played with each other's hands under the blanket. I think I only caught half of the movie because I was distracted by him.

The movie was over around 9:30. I was just about to get up when he stopped me. I turned to face him.

"you know how Colby ask if we were together?" he asked

"yeah"

"Well I was kind of hoping you were my girlfriend?" She said , I smiled , and put my arms around his neck. “That’s a yes, “ he said into my neck. I nodded and he kissed. I laughed when he pulled away.

For the next I don’t know how many minutes or hours . We just sat there in the middle of the park talking, my head resting on his lap. He ran his fingers down my arm. I got chills,

“Chills?” He smiled ,

“Sidney” I warned him, he leaned down and kissed me, and tickled my neck. “No”  I laughed and he started tickling me. He jumped up holding my head so it didn’t hit the ground. He kissed me, leaning over top of me. He deepened his kiss, he grabbed my hand, and I felt a smile against my lips. He linked our fingers, my other hand wrapped it around his neck.

“All right kids !” a man yelled, i screamed as a flashlight were shined in our face

“What the hell?” Sidney yelled, and jumped up.

“Oh shit you're Sidney Crosby “ the police officer said

“Yes I am, “ Sidney said, sitting on his knees. He put his head down. I sat up.

“It's after midnight, Park is closed .” he said

“We're leaving.” Sidney said, standing up. He helped me up. We grabbed our. stuff.  We walked really fast back to his range rover. He hit me in the butt with a blanket, and we just started laughing.

“I can't believe that just happened.”I laughed , as he opened the passenger door for me.

Chapter 3

About two weeks of being back in Pittsburgh I was talking to Sidney pretty much everyday. He is coming home to Pittsburgh this week. To do press stuff, fir the upcoming season. I’ve been at my parents house since I got back because Jess went to New York with her parents to visit some family. I really haven't brought up anything from the beach to my family., and I really don’t plan on aging anything. I don’t even know what is really going on . I am getting ready to go to the mall with my younger sister, Sara . We fight all the time, we are complete opposites in everything. If you don’t know us you wouldn’t even be able to tell we are sisters.  I met up with her and her friend Erin at the mall and shopped around and I got a text from Sidney saying that he was in town early doing some press stuff and wanted to hang out. I replied yes  I love to, where? and when?. He said he doesn't know whenever all this stuff is done he will text me. Did I sound too excited about seeing , did I want to sound excited?

Later that day we were already to leave the mall. Sara found a few of her friends and left with them. And Erin left cause her car was on the other side of the mall. I was walking out and out to my car. When I got a text from Sidney saying that he was done, and if I still wanted to do something. I texted back and said yes,  and I turned the bend and I hit the ground.

“Ow” I closed my eyes.

"Oh I am so sorry" a voice said, a hand went around my arm. Trying to help me. Then I looked up.

"Brittany!" he said

"Sidney"

"Oh my god I am sorry are you okay?"he started fussing and he pulled me to my feet so fast, for my being a bigger girl, you would be able to tell the way he pulled me up.

"It's Okay, I'm fine but we need to stop running into each other like this."

" We do , I agree, I wasn't watching where I was going."

"yeah same here I was texting you back" I said then his phone went off. he looked at it and said.

"How about now, and we can get something to eat."

"yeah that sounds good."

"Okay do you want to ride with me or -"

"I'll follow you in my car, okay"

"Okay."

We went back to our cars and a few people noticed him and asked him for an autograph. I kept walking to my car. I looked back at him and noticed how nice he is, and how sweet he is to this little boy. He comes down to his level having a conversation with him. He was so cute. After he was done he came walking up to me.

"I'm sorry about that."

"Oh, don’t be sorry, I don't mind" I said "you were really good with him."

"Yeah, I got kind of a soft stop for kids."

So we got in our cars and I followed him to this little cafe for dinner. We pulled into the parking lot. I parked beside him. We got out of our cars at the same time. We walked to the doors and walked in front of me and opened the door for me.

"Thank you" I said walking in, He just nodded.

We walked in the cafe. There are not that many people here. The waitress sat us at a table in the Corner. The waitress gave us our menus and asked us what we wanted to drink.

"Ice Tea" Sid said

"Same" I said and looked up at Sidney.

"If you had press stuff to do then why were you at the mall?"

"I had an autograph signing."

"Oh, didn’t even realize you were in there.”

""Yeah, I'm glad you could hang out."

"Oh, me too" I said "so how long are you here for?" I asked, putting a napkin in my lap.

"Just until tomorrow, the end of the week is my birthday and my mom has this stuff set up."

"Really, when is your birthday?"

"August.7th"

"Okay, I'm going to have to remember that."

"Yeah, you better." I laughed at him.

The waitress came back without drinks and asked if we were ready to order. We haven't even opened our menus yet. We told her no. She gave us a mean look and walked away. I looked at Sidney and we laughed and opened our menu.

Sid's POV

We ordered food, ate, and talked. I had her laugh so hard at one point she snorted. She covered her mouth.

“Well that was the cutest thing ever” I laughed

“No it’s not, it's embarrassing, “ she said, still laughing. “Oh my” she whipped the tears from eyes. “Okay you’re so funny”

“I really try, “ I told her, and she smiled. The waitress come

Back and took our plates away.

“Thank you,” Brittany said. Then the check came. Brittany went into her bag and I grabbed the check.

"Oh, come on” she said

"no, I got it."

"Thank you Sidney “

“Of course that is what men do on first dates”

“Date?”

“If you would like this to be.” I looked at her, she smiled

“I …I would “

“Nice”

We walked back to our cars, the sun was going down.

"Well I should get going , I have an early flight tomorrow."

"Yeah, I Have to work tomorrow" she said,

"Okay, well I'll text you."

“Please”

I nodded and leaned in and gave her a hug.

"Bye" she said, she kissed me cheek, I smiled into it.

"see ya"

Britt's Pov

All week me and Sidney text back and forth.

On his birthday I thought I'd call him. It took everything in me to call him. but I picked up the phone and called him, i can sit across from him and have a conversation. I can talk on the phone.

"Hello," he said, picking up the phone.

"hi"

"Hey You, I didn't think I would get a call from you today."

“Well I wanted to call and say Happy Birthday."

"you remembered"

"I did"

"well thank you"

"your welcome" I said “well don’t want to keep you so I’ll -“

“Wait no “he stopped me. “ I can talk for a little while.”

“Okay, So what’s the plan for today ?” I asked

"guys from the team, friends, and family are coming over for a party."

“Nice, I hope you have fun."

“Thanks my mom put it together “

“She sounds sweet.”

“She is the best “ I could tell he was smiling. “Umm i wish you could be here.”

“Oh, i -”

“That is not weird and too soon is it.” he panicked “like i think we would have a good time”

“No no it's not , I think it would be fun too.” i giggled

“You know, you turn me into mush.”

“Me?” i asked

“Yeah you, you  make me question everything that comes out of my mouth, in the best way possible. I don't want to look like a fool.”

“You could never.” I told him, smiling.

“ oh i could.” he laughed

“Sidney!” I could hear someone yell for him.

“Yeah, okay mom.” he said “ i hate to do this, but i have to go”

"I should get going too,  Jess should be getting off her plane pretty soon"

"Okay, well have fun, tell her I said hi."

"Okay, and Sidney"

"yeah?"

"Happy Birthday again"

"thanks Britt"

"talk to you later"

About half an hour later I went and picked up Jessica at the airport.

"How was it with your family?"

"Good," she said, getting into the car.

"How long are your mom and dad staying there?"

"the end of the summer." She said “they went to soak up everything before they came back to pittsburgh.” I smiled and  looked over at her, as we sat in traffic to get out of the airport.

"What is on your neck?" i asked, she put hand to her neck

"Andrew?" I asked “so he visited New York, I bet that was nice in the city.”

"No..Max" she cut me off.

"Max!..Max...ma..Max as in Max from the beach Max? Sidney’s Max"

"yeah"

"When did you see him?"

"earlier this week, he came to New York to see me"

“what happened with Andrew"

"we broke up"

“Jess”

“What?” she asked “ i feel something with Max”

I looked at her in disbelief. Her and Andrew have been together for three years. don't get me wrong, Max seems like a good guy but wow. Andrew adored her, he is such a good guy. Would give her the world.

"Are you Max together?" I asked, looking back at the road.

"you could say that"

"Wow..I ...I don't know what to say."

"be happy for me"'

"I am, I'm just shocked" I said

"Yeah, so that's what's new with me,  So what have you been up to?"

"Nothing," I said, turning my head towards her.

"why did you nothing like that"

"because...." she gave me a mean look

"I hung out with Sidney earlier this week."

"You did, he's in town?"

"He was, he had some stuff to do here, and he asked me to hang out. So we went to dinner."

"Did anything happen?"

"No" i laughed “but yes

“No but yes…?”

“Nothing physical, I definitely think it's going somewhere “ I smiled to myself.

Later Jessica, Nikki and I all got together at me and Jessica's. We ordered pizza and watched movies for the night.

Chapter 2

Later on I was getting ready. I have no idea what to wear. I love jeans and T-shirts but I do own a lot of nice clothes. I brought some with me, but I don't know, we’re hanging out here and why I'm acting like this.

Finally, Jessica came upstairs

"Are you ready yet?" She asked

"Does it look like I'm ready?" I said, holding a shirt in one hand and jeans in another hand.

"Do you need help?" She laughed

" Yes, and it is not funny."

"Yes it is, I have never seen you act like this about a boy" She said, going through clothes.

" I was thinking about this," I said, pointing to the outfit on the bed. It was a t-shirt and light blue jean shorts.

"But I don't know" I said

"It's fine," she said, grabbing the clothes and giving them to me. I walked into the bathroom, put the clothes on, did my make up, and did my hair then I came out of the bathroom.

"You look cute"

“Thanks” i ran my hand though my hair

"you do”

"What am I doing, I can't do this, what if he doesn't even like me? What if he has a girlfriend? What if he's only coming because he feels bad because he hit me with a volleyball and he ran into me?" I took a deep breath.

“If he had a girlfriend i dont think he would say yes it’

“He could be a dog,” I said to her.

“I highly doubt that.” she told me "I think he’s  interested"

"yeah but he hit me with a volleyball, he might feel bad."

"Stop it! Even if it's just to hang out with someone." she said “a boy, i know you've been through alot but its been a long time “  i just looked at her, and put my head down.

I went downstairs with Jessica and helped get the rest of the things together.

I am so nervous, I asked him to come over and if I don't talk to him that would be mean, but what do I talk about. But will he even talk to me, why I'm I acting like this? All I know about this guy is that his name is Sidney Crosby and he plays for the penguins. And all he knows about me is my name is Brittany and I don't talk much.

I'm sitting in a chair in the living room in my own thoughts when I heard the doorbell ring. I felt a lump in my throat grow.

Jessica and Nikki yelled at me to answer the door. I got up and went to the door. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

"Hey" I said to him and the six guys standing behind him.

"Hey" he smiles

“Umm yeah, come in, come in” I said, Jess and Nikki walked in the living room.

“Oh boys” Nikki said

"Oh god” i mumbled “This is Jessica and Nikki" I said

"Hello, nice to meet you two, I'm Sidney, this is Evigeni but everyone just calls him Geno, this is Max, Kris, Brooks, Jordan and this is Marc." He said

We all said our hellos to everybody.

“So you all are hockey players?” Nikki asked

“We all are,” Sidney smiled at her. Great Nikki has already pulled his focus.

We had the food cooking, Jess put on some music, the guys, Jessica, and Nikki were talking and I was by myself in the doorway, I looked over at Sidney was just standing there by everyone but he wasn't in like the circle there were talking he had on tan shorts on and white  t-shirt on with a jacket with the sleeves rolled up. He turned his head and I quickly looked away and walked outside. I flipped the food that's on the grill, and  looked out at the ocean on the deck.

"Hey" a voice said, I jumped and looked behind me it was Sidney.

"Hi" I said

"I didn't mean to scared you"

"Oh no, I'm a jumpy person." i smiled

"Thanks for asking us to come over and it looks like everyone is having a good time."

"Yupp are you having a good time?" I asked him

"yeah, are you?"

"yeah"

"you doesn't look like it" he said

"Well, I could say the same about you"

"I just wasn't inserted in what they are talking about" he said i nodded

"So you're a penguins fan?"

“I am” I said, as he came to stand beside me, looking out at the ocean with me.

"So you know who I am"  he told me looking at his hands,

"Yeah, Sidney Crosby captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins" I bit the side of my mouth. He nodded.

"Your friends sound like they know nothing about hockey?"

"They’re not really into sports"

"And you are?"

"Yes, I'll watch about anything other than basketball, not as a fan.”

"What's wrong with basketball?”

“Back and forth , back and forth”

“I would argue hockey is the same way.”

“Oh it is, but at least it's fast, and you can hit people.” I told, he busted out laughing. I smiled, and feel myself red,

"So When did you start playing hockey?" i asked

"when I was about three."

"Wow, and how old are you now?"

"yeah in Canada that's what you do. 20, how old are you?"

"20"  I stood there for a little, I couldn't bring myself to look at him.

“You're shy.” he said, i stood up straight

“Oh umm yeah” I touched the back of my neck.

The food was done and I put it on a plate.

"Sidney, the foods done" I told him

"Okay" he got up and walked towards me. I went to pick up the plate. and he said

"I got it"

"thanks" i said

"yupp"

We walked in the kitchen and everyone was still where we left them pretty much on the patio, Jessica was really close to Max, and NIkki was trying to get everyone else's attention. I  got the rest of the stuff out.

After we got our plate everyone went outside. I sat in the corner of the patio, Sidney came over and sat by me. We talked and laughed about the most random stuff.

"It's good," he said, taking a bite. I nodded

We both finished. I took our plates to throw them away in the kitchen.. Jessica was in there, she leaned against the corner, grinning at me.

“What?” i asked

"So you and Sidney are talking a lot. It looks like you're hitting off.."

"yeah, I know,  he's easy to talk to." i smiled

"All I have to say about the time."

" Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know," I said, starting to walk out the door.

"I just saying" she yelled

It was starting to get dark and getting chilly out and Jessica and some of the guys were trying to start a fire. I was sitting on a log Sidney walked up to me.

“We should have started a timer to see how long it takes them.” he said

“Right” i laughed,

“May i?” he pointed beside me .

“Oh yes please” i moved over a little

"So you like in or around Pittsburgh?" he asked me

"Oh I live in Pittsburgh now but I grew up about 30 minutes away from." I told him.

“Its crazy come all the way to florida, and meet people that live in you same city

"It isn't." i smiled

“I kinda want to help them, but it's too much fun, watching them” he said, i started laughing, i covered my mouth jessica looked at me, sidney smiled, leaning into me. They finally got it. I swear it took them over thirty minutes. I was still cold, I started to rub my arm trying to get warm.

"I'm going to get a hoodie" I said getting up, sidney grabbed my wrist,

"Wait, here" he said, taking off his jacket.

"Oh no, I can get my own"

"No really here" he put it around my shoulder.

"Are you sure?" i asked

"yeah"

"Okay" I said, putting my arms through it. .

When I put it on, all I could smell was him,I took a deep breath. We just sat there and started asking the simple random questions.

Sid's POV.

"Dude, she's cute," Max said, coming up to me after Jessica  asked to talk to Brittany inside.

"yeah she is." She wasn't like any other girl i've ever met, normally if a girl told me she knew who i was the captain of the PIttsburgh Penguins, i wouldn't give  her much thought. But Brittany didn't seem like a crazed fan. She was relaxed and chilled about it, and was treating me like a person.

"So does she have a boyfriend?" Max asked

" oh I don't know, but I don't think she is really quiet."

"Are you going to ask her out?"

"I don't know man.” I said, looking at their beach house, and Brittany and her friend were walking back down towards the fire.

“If you do, find out if she has a boyfriend first. If you dont i will”

“No you won't.” I told him.

"I'm kidding, I kinda like her friend Jessica."

"Really?"

"Yeah”

“Go for it.”

I was standing with my friends and Brittany was with hers. I looked over towards her and she was looking at me. She didn't bother moving her head this time. We looked at each other, smiled and waved. I walked over towards her.

"Do you want to go for a walk?" I whisper in her ear.

She nodded.

I grabbed her hand and we started walking down the beach. I let go of her hand.

" Are friends something, huh?" Brittany asked me.

"Yeah, they are."

She laughed.

I looked at her and she looked at me and quickly looked away.

"You have really pretty eyes." I said

"thanks" She said with a smile, and looked down like it was embarrassing.

I looked over at her. she giggled I laughed, A little bit while we had our shoes off and walking in the water. I looked over at her and kicked water at her, she laughed and kicked water at me. We chased each other up the beach. We slowed down when we got near her beach house.

"Truths." I said breathless over my laughing.

"Okay," She said laughing, also breathless.

We stopped and looked at eachother, and she grabbed my hand. I looked down at her, smiled at her, and she smiled back at me. When we got up to  our friends and they looked at us, she let go.

We sat by the fire. Brittany and I were sitting kind of close to each other talking.

"Well it's getting kinda late." I said, she looked at her phone

"Oh yeah it is."

"Are you going to be at the beach tomorrow?"

"yeah, I should be."

"So I'll see you there, same spot as today."

"Yeah, if you promise not to hit me with a volleyball." she laughed

"I promise." i held my hands up, smiling at her

"Okay"

I got up and told the guys I think it's time to go. They moaned and they didn't want to leave. I told them we'll see them tomorrow.

Brittany and the girls walked us to the door. The guys but Me and Max walked out the door.

Brittany and I watched Max and Jessica say goodbye to each other they hugged.

"I had fun today" Brittany said

"Yeah, me too."

"So I'll see you tomorrow at the beach, right?" I asked her

"Yeah, I'll see you there."

"Okay." We smiled at each other. And went our separate ways.

Britt’s POV

The next day Jessica, Nikki, and I were on our way to the Beach. I had my chair, bag and book with me. I found a place to put my things down, and I didn't see Sidney anywhere. I took out my phone and looked at the time. It was 12:30. I thought he would be here already. I bent down and put my phone away. I stood up and felt someone grab my sides and said hey at the same time. I screamed and then giggled when I knew who it was.

"Hey" I said

"you haven't been here long have you?" he asked

"No,we just got here." I picked up my book.

“Different book?” he asked,turning it to see the cover. “Yes I finished the other one.”

“So you could read it, that's good.” he ran his hand through his hair.” i was worried you couldn't finish it.”

“Nope all good” i said

"I thought I would be here earlier but the guys wouldn't get out of bed."

"It's Okay, Aww, shit, I forgot your Jacket." I said

"Keep it"

"What?"

"Keep it"he repeated himself

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah"

The rest of the day went by, I didn't even open my book.. We sat and talked and laughed,

“Oh my god you're a nerd” he told me as i took a drink out of my star wars water bottle.

“The biggest nerd” I corrected him.

“You genuinely like it.” he said “ you're not just into it because of a umm boyfriend or something?” he face froze staring at me, just waiting for an answer.

“ i don't have a boyfriend” i said “ i genuinely like it”

“Good to know” he smiled

“Which part?” i asked

“Come on guys, are you playing or not?” Max yelled for us to come and play volleyball.we both stood, and walked towards them.

“Brittany” sidney said i looked at him.

“Both parts” he answered my question, taking off his shirt, I smiled.

The teams were.

Team 1: Max, Brooks, Sidney, Jessica, Jordan.

Team 2: Nikki, Me, Geno, Kris, Marc.

"Were going to beat you" I said to Sidney

“Are you now?” he asked, holding on to the net."

"We are"

"let's make this a little more interesting." he smiled

"What were you thinking?"

"Mmhm, how about the loser has to give the winner a kiss."

I just looked at him, and said "on the cheek" i grinned

"Okay I can take that."

"Shake on it" he said as he put his hand under the net, i  gave him my hand and he shook it.

"I'm half to warn you I don't lose" he said to me.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

The game was a 17-19 Sidney team, first one to 21 wins, they went to serve the ball and they got another point. 17-20. They served it again, and we had it going for a while then the ball came to Sidney and he spiked it on me. I looked at him and said laughing

"really"

"yeah really"

His teammates came over and clapped his hand. I put my hand under the net and said good game and he came up to the  net and put his hand on it. I walked up to him.

"So where's my kiss?" he asked, i smiled, he put his cheek up, in between one of the squares in the net.

“Close your eyes” I told him, he did. I really looked at him, on the outside he is so handsome, the sun beating off his perfect, sweaty body, the outline of shoulder were just ughhh, i went under the net, i took a deep breath,and touch his shoulder and ran my fingers from one shoulder to the other, his body jumped a little, went i got the face him, his eyes were still closed he had a small grin on his face. I touched his cheek, and turned his face, towards me and i kissed cheek so close to lips i was still kissing his cheek, but not his lips.his eyes slowly opened, I looked in his eyes and I never wanted to break his  stare, he did when he looked over then kissed me on the cheek, same place i did on him.  I was shocked. I giggled and he looked back at me and smiled.

Later that day we were all at our beach house. It was the last night we were going to be at the beach. Me and the girls were going to Pittsburgh in the morning. And guys, I don;t know where they will be going. I was down on the beach around the fire with Sid. I touched his shoulder before I sat down. He looked up at me, and smiled.

“So you guys are leaving tomorrow?” He asked

“Unfortunately.”

"could I have your number?” He said so fast, I smiled “ Umm I mean ahhh when we're both back in Pittsburgh we could hang out or something. I laughed he got a little red

“Yes” I gave him my number and he gave me his number. He leaned into me. I turned to kiss his cheek, Then stopped. I looked over his shoulder and I saw Jessica and Max kissing.

"I'll be right back." I told Sidney

"But-“

“Right back” I told him

I walked up to Jessica, and grabbed her by the arm and dragged her off of max lap.

"Hey, what do you do that for?" she asked

“because you have a boyfriend." I yelled at her.

"so"

"So you have a boyfriend." I told her

"But I really like Max, he is so much fun to be around." I said with a goofy smile on her face.

"Then if you want to be with him, don't cheat on Andrew. Don’t be that girl.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?” She put her hands on her hips.

“You know exactly what that means.” I looked at her , I’m not Going to let one of my friends do that to herself or to two good innocent men.

"Okay, I'll go to Pittsburgh and see what happens." She shook her head

"Good”

"So you and Sidney," she said, raising her eyebrows.

"What do you mean?"

"Come on, there has to be something going on."

"Just a lot of talking, he just asked me for my number."

"Really, did you give it to him?"

"Yes, he said that he wanted to hang out when we were both in Pittsburgh."

“That’s so good “ she said , and I smiled looking back at him where he peeked over his shoulder.

Later that night the guys were getting to leave. Sidney pulled me aside.

"I'll call you" Sidney said

“I’d like that.

"Is Anytime Okay?” He asked

"Yeah, i not really busy the rest of the summer”

“Okay Umm safe flight.” He smiled and put his hand on my shoulder and pulled me into a hug. I smiled into his chest as I wrapped my arms around his waist.

"Thank you ." I mumbled

"See ya soon hopefully” he smiled and I watched him walk out the door.

Sid's POV

I walked out of her beach house, I had so much fun this week. We hang out a lot together. I even think she opened up a little more since the start of the week. All I could think about was her.

"Sid, dude" Marc -Andre said but i wasn't really listening.

"Dude." he yelled

"What." I yelled back, almost hitting a pole I grabbed a hold

Of it.

"I've been yelling your name"

"Oh, Sorry I wasn't paying attention."

"yeah, I can tell."

I nodded

"well, what are you thinking about?” He asked, I just looked at him.

“You like her.” He told me

“Yeah I think I really do.”  I smiled to myself

We got to our beach house and I got the rest of the stuff ready for tomorrow. We were also leaving but a later flight than when they were getting on the road. . I went to bed but before I climbed into bed. I pulled out my phone, went to my contact and pushed send .

Brittany's POV

I was just about to get into bed , when my phone went off. I looked over and grabbed it. I received a text message from Sidney. I opened it up.

Goodnight :) I hurried and relied back

Goodnight

The next day we woke up early, packed up the car and were on our way. Jessica was driving and Nikki was in the passage seat, and I was in the back.  I was reading my book.

"Brittany, so what's going with you and Sidney, I never got to talk to you after they all left last." Nikki asked

"I don't know if he wants to hang out when we're both in Pittsburgh."

"Do you want to hang out with me?" Nikki asked

"Yes, I think I do."

“So there is something, “ she said, looking straight ahead.

"what do you mean by 'you think you do'" Jessica asked

"You know me. I am not sure about anything at first." I said “I know I really like talking to hump

"Oh god, Brittany found someone to talk to other then us." Jess yelled and laughed.

“Shut up, that is not funny." I laughed.

"I'm happy for you"

"Yeah, maybe something more will happen." I said looking out the window then my phone went off. I jumped and went through my bag looking for it, I found it. a new message from Sidney.

Did you leave yet?

yeah, we left early in the morning you haven't left yet.

no i catch a plane back to Nova Scotia later today.

Okay, when are you coming back to Pittsburgh.

around the end of Aug.

Cool.

[fallinforyou87]

Chapter 1

I woke up to the sun shining through my window. It is the middle of the summer. I am in Florida on vacation with my two friends Jessica, and Nikki. I got up, went to the bathroom and went downstairs to our beach house. It's a small four bedroom house, with the living room right in the middle. A small patio on the back facing the ocean.  I grabbed some coffee, and my book that was sitting on the table, and started reading . About ten minutes into my book Jessica came downstairs rubbing her eyes.

"Good Morning" I said

"Good morning Brittany" She mumbled

Her and Nikki have never been morning people. but me on the other hand, I have always woken up early.

"you’re up early" I said

" yeah the sun woke me up." she yawned, "is that a book?" she asked

"yeah?"

"gave me the book."

"No" i put it to my chest

"Yes" she said, taking the book out of my hand "Why are you reading on your summer vacation?"

"Because I like it" laughing because I know where she was going with this.

"You know what you should do this summer?"

"What?" I asked her, rolling my eyes, she says the same thing every time we go out anywhere.

"Find a guy, meet someone new." I said , I just stared at her.

" You haven't been out with a guy in forever." she told me, like i didn't know this information already.

"We talk about this all the time, I'm happy"

"But you're always by yourself."

"I'm not always by myself. I have you and ….Nikki." Nikkie hasn't been my favorite, but she's a ‘friend’. “ and i like being by myself”

"Okay, but when you are not with us, who are you with?"

"Umm.." I bit the inside of my cheek.

"Yeah, that's what I'm saying" she put the book down to the end table.

" I just feel bad because every time Andrew and I go out, and  you come with us. Him and I are always together somewhere by yourself."

"I'm fine" I said, getting out of the chair, grabbing my book  and going outside.

I sat on the deck of the beach house looking out at the ocean. I have always been the quiet and shy one. But I really don't have a problem being by myself. Yes, it would be nice to have someone , yes, but I've learned that being by yourself is okay, and knowing me I need to be okay with myself, before I let anyone in. When it comes to talking to people, talking to guys is my worst thing. When I'm not with my friends or family. I'm by myself in my own little world. I like to be by myself. I don't mind it. I do wish that I could break out of myself a bit but it's hard for me. And my size doesn't help, I'm a bigger girl. And  my friends are skinny girls, they would never really  understand what it is like being a plus size girl,it makes it harder to meet people even if it is just a friend. People are mean sometimes, I'm rather comfortable with my body. It's other people that are uncomfortable.

Jessica walked outside, standing beside me.

"Brittany, will you do one thing for me while we're here?" she asked, turning towards me.

"What?"I asked, not looking at her.

"Have fun, meet someone new, let go" I just looked at the ocean, and took a deep breath.

"Okay, I'll try" I said, closing my eyes

"Promise?" she stuck her pinky out.

i just looked at her, from her eyes to her pinky,

"promise" I said, wrapping my pinky around hers.

When all three of us were up, we got dressed, went out to get something to eat, then went to the beach. We found a spot to place our things. When we were doing that. There were a whole bunch of guys setting up a volleyball net.

About an hour later, I was sitting in my lounge chair on the beach. Jessica , and Nikki were talking to these boys that they just met. I was reading my book. I watched the guys play volleyball, jumping up and down, diving., like i all have to do is get up , and say hi. That's it!I shook my head,  grabbing my water, and took a drink. I started to hear someone start to yell and then I heard ‘head ups’. I looked up from my book and saw a guy running towards me.

Then, a volleyball hit me. Water went everywhere all over me, my book, and my stuff.

My friends came running over.

"Are you Okay?" they asked

"Yeah" i said

The guy finally reached me.

"Oh my god, are you Okay" he asked, coming down beside me.

"I'm fine" I said, taking my sunglasses off but I didn't look at him. I have a problem with looking people in the eyes.

" You're all wet now" he said

"It's a bathing suit it supposed to get wet" I said, taking my towel whipping my suit off

"yeah"

"But books aren't supposed to" he said, i glanced up. We made eye contact, and we didn't look away. SIdney Crosby captain of the Pittsburgh Penguins. The city I am from, I've been a fan for years. And  he was even more attractive in person than on Tv. i finally blinked,

"It'll dry" I said getting some of my stuff together, keeping my head down

"I'm really sorry volleyball isn't really my sport."

"It's Okay." I said picking up my bag which had a penguins logo on the side of it.

"Penguins hockey huh?" he asked

"yeah" I said

"Are you sure you’re okay" He asked

" Yeah, I'm fine, thanks." I said taking some of my things back to the house

I got back to the house, I slammed my bag on the counter. I got so overwhelmed, I couldn't say more than like three words. Like i couldn't even say big fan. I ran off, we could have maybe talked, I mean we did lock eyes for an abnormal amount of time,  not that he would ever be interested in me like that,but  we could have got talking about something else. I just made a fool of myself running off when things got a little hard.

I didn't leave to go back to the beach for a while. It was like I was scared to go back. I laid out my book so it could dry, and put some of my stuff away.

Finally, I got my bag  though a swimming suit cover over myself, Tying it in a knot so it was off my legs and went back to the beach. When I got back to the beach. Jessica and Nikki came up to me.

"Are you Okay?" Nikki asked

"Yeah" I said.

"You left pretty fast, What was up with that?" Jess asked

"I don't know."

"he was trying to talk to you" Jess said

"Really?"

"Yeah"

"He's a cute girl." she said.

“He's SIdney Crosby.” I said, they looked at me. “Sidney Crosby from the Pittsburgh penguins.” they had no idea who I was talking about. I grew up in a sports family, so there was a game no matter what it was. It was on the Tv, growing up, especially Pittsburgh Sport.

“He's like a professional athlete?” nikki asked

"Yeah” i said

“And you barely even look at him"

"yeah" I said as I looked out towards the guys,He spiked the ball into the sand

His back was towards us his dark brown hair had a  few curls, a very fit body, and his shoulders were amazing.

He went to turn his head and I looked aways so he didn't see me looking at him.

We stayed a little bit longer but when we left I'm walking along the side of the restroom. And as i turned the bend

It felt like I hit a brick wall and I dropped my bag but before I hit the ground, I felt something grab me and pull me back up, I looked up and saw the most beautiful set of hazel eyes looking down at me, for the second time today. I feel his hands on part of my body no one has touched in years.

"I am so sorry I should really watch where I am going." he said, still holding me in his arms.

"It's Okay I wasn't really paying any attention where I was going either." I told him, he helped me stand up straight. I bit my lip.

Then I looked away quickly

“umm”

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean - " he said, letting go of me."I'm Sidney" he said, putting his hand towards me.

I faintly spoke up

"I kn- I mean I'm Brittany" I took his hand, looked up at him.

"Well it's nice to meet you Brittany." he smiled, i couldn't help but smile back. His smile is contagious.

"It's nice to meet you too." I said, pulling my hand away.

"You're the girl I hit with the volleyball."

I just nodded

"I'm really sorry about that"

"It's Okay, im fine"

He bent down and picked up my bag.

“Is your book going to be okay?” he asked

“Yeah, now there's a funny story to go with the watermarks.” I looked up at him.

“You see the good in things, I like that.”

“I try” I ran my hand in my hair.  He looked down at my bag.

"You're a fan?" he turned it around, facing the logo towards me.

"Yeah"

"that's cool," I nodded. "You don't talk much do you" he asked

" No not really" I said

My friends called from the house, I looked at them. And turned back to him.

"I should get going" I told him

"Yeah, me too." he said and handed me my bag.

"Thanks, nice to meet you" I said starting to walk away. he just nodded

But then I turned back around, and did something i never thought i would do in my life

"Hey, what are guys doing later?" I asked

"Nothing as far as I know." he said

"We were thinking about cooking out later and if you guys aren't doing anything and if you want to maybe . ummm you and your friends could come over later and hang out or something" I said, biting my bottom.

"I don't see why not, I'll ask them but I think we'll be there. "

"Okay we are in that house." I said pointing to the house, he nodded

" Okay see you around like what 6:00?" he asked

"Yeah that's good"

"Okay, See you then." he said

"Yeah Bye."

"Bye"

As I was walking back to the house. Started to think about what I just did. I was happy but did I just ask him to come over and hang out and he said yes, Oh my god is all I could think, I can't talk to him by myself. I don't talk at all. I get so scared around guys and I just asked like seven of them over. I'm nuts, I can't do this.

I was walking up the steps and Nikki came up to me. And she could tell something was wrong.

"what's up?" she asked “you were talking to that guy”

"Nothing" I said. Me and Nikki have never been really close. I don't know but we just aren't.

"Are you sure"

"Yeah"

I walked in the house and Jessica was in her room. I went in there.

"I think I did something really dumb" I said

"What?"

“ you know that guy hit me with the volleyball?"

"Yeah, and i saw you talking to him again, that great Birtt"

"I asked him and his friends to come over for dinner and to hang out, Do you think that was dumb?"

"No not at all,I'm proud of you." She said

"Yeah?" I asked

"Yeah, this is huge Brittany”

hi! so back in 2010 I wrote a Sidney Crosby fan fiction, in the last year I reread it, and it was BAD lol I couldn't spell, and my grammar sucked, and I'm not going to lie I still can't spell and my grammar still sucks. but over and last 10 + years. I've done a little more writing, and I a lot of growing up, and I think I have gotten a little better. but anyways with re reading the fan faction and there was ideas and things I wanted to change and thought while I've have some down time, I could re write it. and thinking about posting it here, and maybe somewhere else ! would anyone be interested in that?

here the original...
