Tyler Seguin Plays Hookey Before Hockey Match

It hadn't even been 24 hours and somehow there were articles everywhere about Tyler and Kate's reunion. This was exactly what she was trying to avoid in the first place. She didn't want any connection to any negativity about Tyler's hockey career. Sports fans are known to sometimes look for people or things to blame for a poor performance, and girlfriends unfortunately get targeted a lot. Kate's worries were interrupted by a soft kiss on the back of her shoulder. She was comforted by the warmth of Tyler's body as he pulled her closer. He grabbed the phone from her and threw it towards the foot of the bed.

"I thought we weren't going to read any of that shit" Tyler said, while leaning in to kiss his girlfriend.

"I couldn't help it! And it was as bad as I imagined…" Kate said in a high pitched, anxious voice.

Tyler kissed her again on the lips.

"I'm gonna kiss you until you stop caring" Tyler teased.

He kissed her entire face at least 50 times, as Kate pleaded through her laughter for him to stop. Tyler continued tickling her face as she begged a few more times, then he stopped. His face was still close to hers. He looked into her eyes and felt sad. Her eyes usually had a sparkle to them that was inspiring to everybody she met. However, her eyes looked darker than usual. He felt Kate's sadness when he was with her. Ever since he had come home and seen her at the hospital last night, there was a darkness about her. Maybe it was her situation, or maybe it was something else. Regardless, Tyler promised himself that he would take care of Kate in all ways. He'd help her get better, physically, and emotionally. He was nervous though, because he had never allowed himself to give all of himself to somebody, and never really cared for any girl like this- ever. He wanted to be her protector, so Tyler put on a brave face, knowing that he had to stay strong for Kate.

"I told you that you can't be in her bed!" barked a nurse as she came through the doorway of Kate's hospital room.

Tyler laughed and jumped off the bed. He turned to the nurse as she walked over to Kate's bed.

"Oh Lisa, you are gonna LOVEE me by the time I'm gone." Tyler teased, trying to seem overly-charming.

"Alright, Prince Charming, calm down." the nurse said back sarcastically.

Kate shook her head as she grabbed the cup full of pills.

"Everybody's asking about you" the nurse said to Kate.

Kate raised her eyebrow.

"Oh yeah… Reporters up the wazzoo" the nurse continued, sounding annoyed.

One week later, Kate was finally able to return home. She had to make sure to take her boatload of pills every day, but other than that, she was "good to go." Her doctor was impressed with her quick recovery considering she had such a serious condition. She packed her things into her large Hermes birkin bag, and sat back down on her hospital bed. She hadn't brought much stuff, thankfully. Tyler walked through the door with Chace behind him. They were both smiling and carrying a balloon. The nurse came in and handed Kate a huge bag full of pills. She hugged her, and said goodbye. The nurse turned to the boys and put her arms out.

"My two, tall and handsome boys!" the nurse yelled out.

"Lisa…" Chace called out, lovingly.

"Let me get a picture of you three" Kate said, while standing up with her iPhone.

The two guys stood on either side, with the nurse in between. They all had wide smiles.

"It's like a Hollywood Sandwich!" Lisa called out.

At first, she was a cranky nurse, but she had soon warmed up to the three of them. Kate's brother and boyfriend had been by her side for almost the whole week that she had been in the hospital. Chace had taken off the whole week of filming to stay with his sister, and Tyler had quit EHC Biel.

Kate smiled and showed them that she had uploaded it to Instagram. The caption read "The 3 greatest nurses a girl could ever ask for."

"Annndd….. Let the thousands of comments begin!" Chace joked, while handing his sister the phone back.

There was a knock on the door, and a man came into the room.

"Your car's here." the guy said, then left.

Tyler grabbed Kate's Birkin with one hand, and her hand with the other. They headed towards the door, and Chace followed with the balloons and gifts. They headed down the hallway as nurses and patients turned to watch them, trying to catch a glimpse at the celebrities. The walk through the hospital was fairly calm until they reached the exit doors. Chace looked down at his sister, and told her to walk behind him. The cameramen ran towards the three of them and immediately started taking pictures. They yelled at Kate, hoping to get answers for their articles.

"PLEASE respect my sister's condition and her privacy. She will explain everything if and when she chooses to." Chace screamed at the paparazzi.

They let up, and mumbled apologies. One douche still had the nerve to take one last photo though.

Chace pushed open Kate's apartment door, and waited for her and Tyler to pass through. She sat down on the ground in the middle of the hallway petting her puppy that she had been separated from for a whole week. Kate laid down and sighed. Tyler walked over to her and helped her up. He bent down a little, telling her to jump up. Kate jumped up onto his back, and she wrapped her short legs around either side of him. He gave her a piggyback ride up to her room, and slowly let her down onto the bed. Tyler had been treating Kate like a princess for the past week, and he was going to make a point to do that for as long as they remain together.

Kate got underneath the covers of her monogrammed sheets, and pulled a cashmere Hermes blanket around her. She could smell the comforting smell of her freshly laundered sheets, and knew that her maid had still been coming to take care of the place for her. She appreciated the little reminders of what normal life was like. Tyler laid down next to her. Kate turned on her side to face him. She watched him, and he did the same. She knew she was about to be spending a ton of time in bed, and she was looking forward to having him by her side.

Kate gently rubbed the side of Tyler's face with her right hand. She looked into his warm eyes as her soft fingers stroked his stubble. Every second that she spent looking into his eyes felt like forever. She felt so embarrassed for being so lovey-dovey. Kate had never believed in love or anything related to it, but she found herself in a very contradicting situation. The way he looked at her, was like how every girl dreams of being looked at. He made her feel like the only person in the whole wide world. Or at least the only person that matters. And that's exactly how Tyler felt. He knew the night he met Kate that he wouldn't be able to forget about her. Now, he felt like his life would be empty if she left him again. In a way, their time apart had been a blessing. They had time to miss each other, and now that they were back together, they were appreciating every minute of it. Kate ran her fingers through Tyler's brown hair as she stared back at him.

"Tell me everything" she whispered to him.

He smiled. "Everything?" he asked.

"Everything." Kate repeated.

"Ask me stuff and I'll tell you" he negotiated.

"Fine. Umm, tell me about all this stuff going on on your arm" Kate said, while motioning to his left arm.

Tyler looked down at his arm, letting out a laugh. He knew that Kate didn't like tattoos.

"Uhh, well it's my family members birth dates in a heart and then there's like these random drawings and it connects to my last name on the back." Tyler rambled.

"Well duh- I'm not blind. I mean, what's it all mean to you?" Kate clarified.

"Oh," he said while shaking his head. "Uh, my dad always told me to wear my heart on my sleeve…"

"I like that…" Kate smiled, looking pleased with his explanation.

"Yeah." he said, a little awkward.

"Can I ask you question?" Tyler asked.

Kate nodded.

"What made you change your mind that morning when you finally agreed to go out with me?" Tyler asked.

Kate smiled and looked down. She looked back up at Tyler.

"I don't know… There was just something about the way you looked at me…" Kate said. She sounded like a little girl.

Tyler smiled and kissed her slowly on the lips.

"That sounds so dumb and naive, I know." Kate shamefully admitted.

There was a hint of hope and desperation for love in her eyes.

"No. It's not dumb." Tyler started.

He nervously looked down at his hands. He thought it was the perfect time to tell Kate that he had realized he loved her, but he didn't know how to spit it out. Tyler had never fallen in love with anybody before. He was treading unfamiliar territory, and he felt thrown off of his game.

Kate looked back at him and smiled. She leaned forward and kissed his cheek. A grin spread across Tyler's face as he looked at her with intense lust in his eyes. He bit his lip and rolled over to turn off the light.

Kate woke up and saw Tyler laying next to her. The bad boy looked so innocent when he was asleep. His long arms extended underneath the pillow. Kate moved her hand to his left arm and ran her index finger along the lines that were permanently entwined on his arm. For the first time, she didn't dislike Tyler's tattoos. She was very WASPy and normally thought they were trashy. Instead, she saw all of her boyfriend's vulnerabilities on display for the whole world to see. He really always did wear his heart on his sleeve. She smiled to herself and moved closer to her sexy boyfriend. There was something about him that just drove her wild. Their chemistry was something that only comes around once in a lifetime. Kate ran her fingers slowly along Tyler's broad shoulders. She leaned in and playfully bit him on the arm. He immediately woke up.

"Hey!" he yelled out.

Kate giggled and bit him again. Tyler rolled over onto his back and pulled Kate onto of him. She put her head down on his muscular chest and could hear his heart beating extremely fast.

"You nervous?!" she teased, making fun of his beating heart.

"Yeah-- you make me nervous" Tyler said, his voice slightly raised.

Kate turned and looked at him.

"Kate… I love you" he said.

He was relieved he was finally able to spit it out. In a way, it was better that he had told her out of the blue, so Kate knew that it wasn't because of anything else.

Kate smiled and nodded.

"I love you too." she said back.

Tyler squeezed her, hugging her tightly.
