The Christmas break was much needed for everyone I think, and it was a well-deserved break for the Penguins, but it's time to go back to work. Dare I say it, but this is the start of a new year and hopefully an even better team. Sure their good now, but we need to step our game up against the toughest teams if we want to do well in play-off's. Everybody agreed to meet at the Igloo to have a specail practice, because we don't usually practice there. When I walked into our office I saw Karl.

"Happy new year Karl!" I said jumping on him, giving him a hug.

"Happy new year to you too," he smiled sweetly, "did you have a good break?"

"Yes I did, how bout you?"

"It was good. For once I felt bored though.”

“Geez, you could helped me with my work."

"Right, you've been planning out his schedule like crazy haven't you?"

"Yeah, but I don't mind doing it," I smiled.

Someone picked me up from behind scaring me like crazy.

"Kayla!" he screamed.

"Flower!" I screamed back at him, turning around to hug him. Maxime came back in as well giving me a hug and Karl a handshake.

"Your boyfriend is on his way," Max whispered.

"Oh thank you," I blushed. For some reason, I always get embarrassed when the team talks about Jordan and I. Amanda walked into the room, wearing a short, low cut work suit, with high, but cute hooker heals.

"Hey Amanda," Maxime smiled, walking over.

"Don't," she held up her hand, "touch me."

"Bitch much?" Marc-Andre asked with a low tone. Jordan came running in after, his head whipped around looking for me. When we got eye contact, he ran up to me, dropping his bag in the process and picking me up hugging me.

"I missed you so much!" he said into our kiss.

"I know," I tried catching my breath.

We all got together and waited for Dan to show up. Sidney still wasn't there, which is weird, because he's always there no matter what, and usually the first one there. I texted him wondering where he was, but still no reply. Once Dan showed up, the party got started.
"Welcome everybody, hope you had a great Christmas break, I know I did. Anyway, the whole purpose of this meeting today, is about the upcoming events involving and Pittsburgh Penguin," After a long list of thing's, he finally got to what I was wondering. "And for those wondering where our captain is, he is currently packing for a road trip to play in a charity game. He and Kayla will be leaving tomorrow morning, so yes, Sidney will miss some of our practices, but no games," Dan continued on, but Jordan distracted me by squeezing my hand once he heard that I was leaving for a couple of nights.

"When were you gonna tell me this?" He leant over and whispered.

"Um, I told you a long time ago," I replied.

"Yeah, well I don't remember you telling me," he snapped.

"Well I did, so can you please calm down?"

"No I won't."

"And why not?" I asked getting more then annoyed.

"Because you'll be travelling with my best friend and the same guy you also like."

"But nothing will happen, we'll be in separate rooms and both he and I know that you and I are together and he won't dare make a move on me while we're away," I said kissing up to him. Something might happen like it did in the car, but nothing more than that, so I think we should be fine. And I know I'll be able to control myself better then he can.....or so I think.

"Well I still don't trust it, regardless of how 'good girl' you seem," he air quoted 'good girl'.

"What is that supposed to mean?"

"That you claim to be a good girl, but you’re really not.”

"Okay, so your now saying I'm different than what you thought I was? Real smart Jordan," I huffed.

"Why are you over reacting?"

"Because you basically say you don't trust me, and I think that's bull-"

"You don't trust me, remember? You tell Sidney thing's before me."

"Yeah but that's-your being a dick. And I'm going for work.”

"Am I?" It was like he forgot my last words of my sentence.

"Yes. And if you were smart, you'd stop."

"Well I won't."

"Alright," I said getting up and leaving my seat. By now the meeting was over and people were mingling. "I'm leaving, see ya later jackass," I said walking by him very angry. On my way to out, Karl followed me, practically running after me based after the speed I was walking.

"Kayla, you alright?"

"Yeah I'm fine," I said getting into my car.

"Jordan's being a jerk?" he asked. I nodded. "Well don't take it out on Sidney, alright?"

"I won't."

"And please don't do anything to piss Jordan off or do anything that you'll soon regret and hurt someone with."

"Don't worry Karl, I won't. I'm just gonna go home, cool down and pack."

"Better," he kissed my cheek. "Have a safe trip."

"Thanks, have fun at practices and conferences," I chuckled.

"I will, and tell Sid good luck."

"Thanks I will," I started the car. I backed out and waved to Karl before leaving for good. I will not do anything to or with Sidney.

I must admit, leaving Jordan the way I did was a little uncalled for, I get it, but why was he over reacting so much? Can't he trust his girlfriend? I trust him, but according to him I don't. He doesn't understand that I've gotten to know Sidney way more the Jordan because I spend so much time with Sidney and not him. I was packing my last item when I got a text from Sidney.

Sid: Hey u ready 2 get goin?
Kayla: Yup def. U comin ovr now?
Sid: On my way
Kayla: C u then ;)

When he pulled up in his Range Rover, thing's got a little bit awkward for me, since that was where we shared that kiss. It makes me nervous knowing that we both like each other and that I have kissed him before, while with Jordan, but I'll have to try and resist his temptation.

"Hey, you ready?" he asked coming up and helping me with my bag.

"Yup," He carried my bag to his trunk and came back to the front step of my house.

"Can I use your bathroom really quick?"

"Go ahead, you know where it is right?" I asked. He nodded and walked over. My sister Abbey came over with a mug in her hand.

"So you gonna be cool with Sid this weekend?"

"Hope so."

"Why don't you break it off with Jordan and go with him?"

"Because I can't, I think I like Jordan more than him."

"Why? Because he treats you like shit and gives you great sex?" I froze, dammit she's right!

"Yeah but-"

"Just don't cheat alright?"

"Kay," we hugged.

"Have a safe drive," she said as Sidney came back.

"Bye Abbey," I waved on my way to his passenger seat. We got in and immediately heated the car, cuz it's freezing outside! The ride to Montreal will be long, and a good 8 hour drive, but probably more with the bad weather. Tomorrow is the practice and the events don't start till Friday. Sidney turned on the radio to break the silence.

"So how long do you want to drive for?" I asked.

"Pardon?"

"I asked-"

"No, no, I got what you said. I mean you don't have to drive, I can drive."

"Yeah but it's gonna be a long drive, won't you be tired?"

"Maybe."

"I don't want you to be tired for your practice tomorrow."

"I won't."

"Sidney, it's11 o'clock, add 8 hours to that and what do you get?"

"7 o'clock."

"Exactly, and that's with rush hour, I can take over for a while."

"Alright, alright. We'll switch every 2 hours to make thing's fair," he laughed. "Why are we arguing about whose driving?"

"I don't know," I laughed.

"Can I ask a question?" he asked.

"Sure."

"Why do you always have to be professional about everything? Like, why don't you let your hair down once and a while?"

"I don't know, I mean, I take this job seriously because I worked hard to get to where I am with working with the Penguins, but I do have fun every once and a while, most people just don't see it.”

"Hm," he said focusing back on the road. "And I like your hat," he smirked; he was the one who got me his hat. "Thanks, I like yours too," he was wearing a beanie. Once we crossed the border in New York, we hit the first Tim Horton's we could find. Being a Canadian, I always miss Timmies. "Drive-thru or walk-in?" he asked.

"Walk in please."

"Okay," he parked the car. When we walked in, I embraced the smell of the coffee, you know, the typical smell.

"Ugh, I've missed this smell," I said.

"You would more than me. You live in the burgh all year, I at least come home in the summer," he laughed.

"Alright, what do you want?" I asked.

"Uh, well first I have to pee, so I'll do that first."

"Good idea," I smiled, walking into the washroom. After relief, we stood in line waiting to take our order.

"Is it wrong that I want half a dozen doughnuts?" he asked laughing.

"No," I laughed.

"Tell me what you want."

"You don't have to get me anything."

"Yes I do."

"No you don't"

"Fine, how bout you get the Timmies, and I'll pay for your dinner tonight?"

"Deal," Tim Hortons is way cheaper. Sid got a coffee, I got a tea and instead, we got Timbits. Some of his fans bombarded him, so we spent time with them for a bit and were on our way. After a long and I mean long drive to Montreal, we made it. There was a bit of confusion at the hotel though.

"Hi, I have 2 rooms for the hockey tournament for the weekend," I smiled at the bitch of a lady at the desk.

"Yeah hold on a sec," she checked her rooms, "What player?"

"Crosby."

"Oh," she got in a low tone, "yeah due to an extra player being added, we were short on rooms, and since you are a male and female couple, you were suggested to share a room, are you okay with that?" We looked at each other. Jordan will be pissed at me when he finds this out. He gave me the nod and I answered.

"Yup, that's fine."

"Alright, and because you agreed, we are giving you an all paid dinner for 2 at the restaurant down the street, Vinny's. And you room is 819, I hope you enjoy your stay," she smiled. On our way up the elevator Sidney broke the silence.

"Imagine that, we're sharing a room," he said kind of awkwardly.

"Yeah you’re right," I agreed adjusting my purse.

The room was perfect; it had everything we needed, but another bed.

"Your boyfriend will not be happy about this," he said dropping his hockey bag. We went all this time not talking about him and he chooses now to bring it up, figures.

"Oh I know," I replied looking away.

"And you two left in an argument didn't you?" he asked laying on the bed with his back propped up on the headrest of the bed.

"Yeah, wait, how did you hear that?"

"Geno called me and told me that you might be in a bad mood."

"And I thought he was quiet," I laughed.

"You don't deserve him Kayla; he treats you like a jerk. Sure he might be good in the bed, but he needs to have a good heart too, and that's something he has half of," he chuckled.

"Oh I know," I said cuddling into his chest getting comfy, "Sometimes I wish thing's weren't so complicated. Sometimes I wish he was more like....you," We made eye contact, eyes locked. What did I just say!?! We got closer, he licked his lips and said in the softest voice.

"All I want is you," And I leant in and kissed him, I made the move on him. What is getting over me? Why am I acting like this? We began a make-out session that was very, very heated. And the whole time I kept thinking, what have I done?
