A Summer to Remember
15
This morning I decided that it would be nice if I called Tazer and told him the good news considering he helped me go after her to begin with. Hopefully he’s still in Winnipeg, but I doubt it just because he’s the captain and all. I rolled my eyes just thinking about that and dialed his number. “Hey Jon,”“Kaner! Dude do I have news for you!” He said with a lot more enthusiasm then he usually has, “Alright so remember that girl Bella that Natalie set me up with?” I nodded my head oblivious that he couldn’t see me, “Yep,” I said taking a drink of the Gatorade I was drinking. “Well, we’re getting married.” I spit out the orange liquid all over the magazine I was looking at. “Tazer wow congrats!” He laughed; I’ve never heard him this happy before. “Is Natalie there? Can I talk to her; I really want to thank her for all this.” “Yeah, well speaking of Natalie, I wanted to call and thank you for everything because Nat and I are engaged.” It was silent for a little bit, I don’t know why, maybe he was doing a celebration dance or something, “Wow, congrats Kaner!”
“Yeah, thanks man. It’s August 8th, I was hoping you’d be my best man considering the circumstances.” I said trailing off with a laugh. “Definitely, wouldn’t miss it for the world.” He quickly replied, “Bella and I haven’t decided on a date yet, did you come up with August 8th? Considering it is 8/8” I rolled my eyes and laughed, “No actually Nat and Erica came up with that one.” Natalie was walking past my door towards Erica’s room when I said her name. “Oh and speaking of her you said you wanted to talk to her?” Natalie furrowed her brow, and I mouthed Tazer to her to let her know who it was. She got really excited and started trying to grab the phone from me. “Yeah she’s right here hold on.”
“Hi Jon! How’ve you been?” She said and might I add very enthusiastically. “You’re getting married! That’s so great!” She sat down on my bed as I started playing with her hair and moved it to the side so I could kiss her bare neck. She giggled at the touch, just then I remembered how ticklish she was so I slid my hands down and gave her hips a quick squeeze and she gave out a high pitched yelp. And while I was laughing she gave me a quick backhand to my arm. “Nothing Jon,” she said getting up and walking around the room.
I admired the view I had from on the bed. She hugged her stomach with her left hand and held the phone against the ear with her right one. She looked so beautiful even if she wasn’t even trying. That’s the one thing I don’t understand about girls. They try their hardest to find that one guy, but usually once they do they don’t try and the man still thinks they are beautiful. So my solution is to have girls dress like they normally would, ya know; no makeup, sweat pants, and bulky t-shirts, because their prince charming will think they’re beautiful any way. You’re welcome girls of the world. Love Patrick Kane.
She occasionally looked over and smiled at me while she was still in the middle of her conversation with Tazer. “Alright Jon, see you soon. Thanks again, bye.” She hung up the phone, “Man can that guy talk, and he talks more than you do!” “I’m not sure I should take that as an insult or a compliment.” I replied. Natalie looked over and rolled her eyes at me. She plopped down on the bed next to me. Just to think if Jon didn’t help get Natalie back I would still be a man whore who’s drinking himself to sleep. “Hey Nat?” she turned her head towards me and smiled, “What would you say if I asked you if you finally wanted to get that tourist day in Chicago you’ve always wanted?” The smile on her face grew larger as she scooted her body over to give me a big kiss, “I would say yes.” She said as we separated. I smirked, “Good, because in a couple days we’re heading back to the apartment.”
She squealed and sat up; I followed as she wrapped her arms around me, “Oh Pat! I’m so excited!” She screamed into my ear, “Thank you, thank you, thank you!” She repeated.

We got on the plane a couple days later, with a few months ahead of us to kill before the preseason started. Her excitement hadn’t subsided since I told her. She had been texting me at night until the early morning because she couldn’t sleep because of how excited she was. She got the window seat as we played card games and listened to music the entire way there. We listened to her rock which I was okay with considering I loved watching her rock out to the music singing along. That made it enjoyable to me considering I’m not too crazy about that music.
Landing in Midway, Jon and Bella met us at the baggage claim. That was a surprise that I didn’t tell Nat about so when she saw them she just about dropped her carry on and ran and jumped on Jon basically before giving Bella a big hug as well. I dragged both our carryon luggage to meet up with the group before saying my hellos to the newly engaged couples. Natalie and Bella went to get the rest of their luggage while comparing engagement rings. They looked so happy as they walked back arm in arm dragging their suitcases behind them. I could honestly say I was just as happy as they were, maybe even more. I had the love of my life with me and happily engaged, and I’m a kick ass hockey player. What? I know you’re giving me a look.
First we went to Millennium Park and saw the bean. We took so many pictures there it’s not even funny. We had pictures underneath the bean, outside the bean, mirrored into the bean, you name it. Then we went to the big picture faces thing. I’m not exactly sure what it’s called but this is the easiest way to tell you what it is. She didn’t know that the picture shot water out from its mouth so when the gothic chick puckered her lips and water spit out she was directly hit by it. She is so wet . That’s what he said. I laughed in my head.
“Patrick Kane! Why didn’t you tell me!” she screamed coming over to me wringing out her clothes. But I was too busy laughing at her. And it was hard for Captain Serious not to crack a smile when he and Bella came back over. Then Natalie stopped there and had an evil smirk on her face, “Come here Pat, I wanna give you a hug.” She said opening her arms to me. “Nope, not going to happen Natalie.” She started walking over to me, still with her arms open. “Natalie, no.” I started running but she caught up to me quick since she had Jon on her side. He grabbed me by the arms as Natalie wrapped her arms around me, soaking my clothes instantly. “You love me Patrick Kane.” She said into the crook of my neck. “Yep, I know. And you love me too.” I gave her a quick squeeze before a peck on the lips, as we continued our walk through the city. We went to Navy Pier and had snow cones. She had a cherry one and I had a blue raspberry one. We took a picture with our tongues sticking out of how our tongues changing colors.
We were two peas in a pod once again. Best friends and full time lovers. She’s my fiancée as I am hers. We went back to the apartment after saying goodbye to the future Toews with an invitation to their wedding next summer. We walked into the apartment once again just like the years before except this time it was different. Everything was out on the table. No secrets, no ex boyfriends, no nothing. She was mine, and I was hers. Everything was the same, but everything was different at the exact same time. I’m going to marry that girl next summer and we will spend the rest of our lives together, because I am forever lost in you.
“Yeah, thanks man. It’s August 8th, I was hoping you’d be my best man considering the circumstances.” I said trailing off with a laugh. “Definitely, wouldn’t miss it for the world.” He quickly replied, “Bella and I haven’t decided on a date yet, did you come up with August 8th?
