Hot Mess

All in all it was a successful day of shopping for Jillian. She ended up getting a pair of Reebok runners instead of Nike or a Michael would of liked Adidas, a few pairs of Nike Pro shorts and some Under Armour sweatpants. She also scored Sean's cell phone number. On her way home she stopped at the cemetery by her home town she counted 1,2,3 rows then stopped her 2010 Dodge Ram 2500, got out and walked 10 graves until she stopped at the one that read Alexander McDaniels 1924-2011, Jillian sat down on the snowy ground put her head in her hands and cried. Alexander was fathers father. Jillian hadn't seen him since her uncle was sent to prison in the spring of 2009. After about half an hour Jillian pulled herself together and went home.

Jillian had just pulled into her yard when her phone started to ring ' Rookie<3' popped up along with a picture of Sean, Jillian smiled and answered her phone

" Hey stranger" Jillian said coyly.

" Hey you"

" You don't wast any time calling a girl do you Rookie"

" Well I know a good thing when I see one"

" Oh is that right?"

" Yup, say I was wondering what you were up to tomorrow?" Sean asked, he hadn't realized he was holding his breath.

" Umm tomorrow's Sunday, nothing comes to mind why?"

" I was wondering if you wanted to go for coffee tomorrow after practice?"

" I don't drink coffee Sean" Jillian said giggling

" Oh well what do you drink then?"

" If it's on Tim Hortons then it's a French Vanilla, but if it's just at home then tea."

" Ok we'll then would you like to go for a French Vanilla date then?"

Jillian could hear the smirk in Sean's voice

" Sure just tell me where and when"

" Seriously? Oh wow ok how about the Tim's at the south end of Airdrie at 10:30?"

" Ok sounds like a deal. See ya there Rookie."

" Bye Jillian."

** The next day **

It was 9:30 and Jillian was just about to leave when her phone started playing " Round here" by Florida Georgia Line.

" You aren't phoning to cancel on me are you Sean? 'Cuz if you are I'm gonna have to send my brothers after you."

" No, no! I was just phoning to see if you wanted to come to my apartment instead."

" What trying to keep me a secret from the world?"

" No never! It's just I know how hockey fans are and people could see us and then there would be picture's all over the internet. Jillian I know you don't like it when people pity you and I'm not trying to I'm just trying to protect you."

" Sean I don't need your protection."

" Jill I know, it's just those puck bunnies can be rude and I don't want people maybe thinking you're a puck bunny. Please I don't want to argue with you."

" Ok. But if we are going to meet at your place I'm going to need your address."

** At Sean's apartment**

Sean was pacing back and forth just waiting for Jillian to arrive. Sean had never been so nervous to see a girl in his whole life. But Jillian, Jillian was different there was something about her Sean couldn't explain it. All of a sudden there was knocking at the door and Sean almost tripped over his own feet getting to the door.

" Hi" Sean said sheepishly

" Hey" Jillian smiled back

' wow she looks amazing' Sean thought

" Oh right sorry come in."

" Haha thank you"

Sean and Jillian sat on the couch and talked about everything and anything.

" Oh my gosh!! You have Mighty Ducks #2?! Can we watch it?! Please!!!"

" Haha for sure"

Sean got up and put the movie in the player and came back. He grabbed an Ottawa 67's blanket and came and sat down beside Jillian. They cuddled together with Jillian's head on Sean's chest and his arm around her.

Once the movie ended it was getting late and Jillian decided she should head home. Jillian sat up and stretched, exposing her stomach. Sean couldn't help but stare, she had one of the best stomachs he'd ever seen, ' I just wonder what the rest of he body looked like. No no Sean don't go there'

" Well I should be going..."

" Oh okay" Sean got up to walk Jillian to the door.

" We'll thanks for the amazing day. I'll see you Saturday rookie"

" Saturday?" Sean asked with questioning look.

" Yeah,I'm coming to your game."

" Oh duh haha"

" so I guess I should be going..."

" Wait!" Sean took off running heading to his bedroom. He came back a few minutes later carrying a hoodie and what looked like an Ottawa 67's jersey.

" Here!"

" Sean's what this??"

" One of my hoodies and my 67's jersey for you to wear Saturday" he said smiling.

" Put it on" Sean said

Jillian slipped on his hoodie and it was so warm and smelt like him Jillian wasn't sure if she'd ever take it off.

" Perfect" he said, next he pulled out his phone and told her to smile as he took a picture of Jillian in his hoodie.

" Perfect, just like you." Then Sean leaned in to Jillian, her breath caught in her throat once she realized what he was doing. Then his lips were on hers, Jillian was stiff at first but slowly she relaxed.

" Wow" they said at the same time.
