"You promised you wouldn't mope around your place while I'm gone," Sid laughed into the phone. He had been gone for nearly a month and he couldn't deny that he missed CiCi too.

"I'm not! I just don't want to go out to the bar. The last time I did this really hot guy started talking to me and I just couldn't seem to say no to him," CiCi reasoned making Sidney laugh. It was nearly eight and CiCi's roommates were all getting dressed to go bar hopping for the first time since she encountered a certain hockey icon.

"And? Did that not bode well for you?"

"God, you're even sexier when you speak to me like that."

"Like what?"

"Like you memorized the dictionary."

"Because I said bode? Really? Does that really turn you on or are you just horny for me?"

"Maybe a little bit of both."

"Seriously, go out. Have some fun! We promised we wouldn't sit around being sad. That we would continue living our lives. And that way if another hot guy hits on you, you can tell me and I can be all jealous and want to fight the guy. And it will just make for that much better sex."

"Well since you put it that way, I better get dressed in my slinkiest dress to attract all the boys!"

"Send me a picture of you when you're ready."

"You don't...wait, did you upgrade?"

"Maybe."

"I don't believe you," CiCi exclaimed skeptical. She felt her phone vibrate against her ear and saw a text come through from Sid. Opening it she found a picture of his smile and she could see how his cheeks plumped out. He looked even sexier than she ever imagined.

"iPhone?" CiCi asked.

"Yep, the 5. I'm still learning, but I think I'll like having it. I can send and receive photos of you. And we can FaceTime!"

"Ah! Alright, welcome to the technology age babe. I'm going to tell Care that I am going with the girls and I'll text you a photo of my slinkiest outfit."

"Haha, okay. Talk soon."

"Bye Sid." CiCi climbed out of bed and threw open her door to find Caroline's door wide open. She waltzed right in and declared she would be going out with them too.

"What made you change your mind?" Care asked as she sat at her vanity working on curling her hair.

"I promised Sidney that I wouldn't stop living my life while he is training."

"Seems right, but what is going on with you two? Are you his girlfriend or is he going all over North America meeting girls while you hang out back here?"

CiCi sighed and shook her head at her friend. "We are just seeing how the summer goes, alright? But he calls me every day, texts me when we aren't talking and jokes around about being jealous. I'm happy how things are moving and I think he is too."

"Hey, don't let me stop you. You do your thing. I just don't want you to end up hurt."

"I am aware. I'm gonna go raid Jules' closet. She has just what I have in mind to wear." CiCi wandered down the stairs to the second floor where Julia and Maria had their rooms.

She got what she wanted from Julia, hurried back up to her room and began getting ready. All three girls were excited that CiCi changed her mind and insisted on doing a round of shots before they left. And before they left their house to walk down to the bars, CiCi fulfilled her promise and snapped a photo of herself and sent it off to Sidney.

********

"Why do we even bother trying to go anywhere else? We always end up here," Maria laughed as the four girls made their way through the doors at Mario's. They managed to grab a table near the bar and stationed themselves there for the remainder of the evening.

"Alright who is going up to the bar first? We don't want want to lose our seats!" Julia exclaimed as she got comfortable at her spot indicating that she wasn't going to be the first trip.

"I'll go. Everyone alright with beer?" CiCi asked without giving the other girls am opportunity to make special requests. She turned towards the bar, found an opening to squeeze into and waved at the very busy bartenders that she had an order.

After five minutes of waiting she finally asked for four light beers and handed the man a ten. As she waited for the beers she felt a pair of hands grip her waist. She immediately tensed up when the culprit leaned over and said, "We really need to stop meeting like this."

The beers forgotten, CiCi turned around to face a grinning Sidney looking her up and down. "Damn, you look even better in person than on the phone."

"How? What? When did you get here?" She asked as she stared back in disbelief.

"I came in earlier this afternoon. I'm only here until Sunday."

"Then you go to California," CiCi finished. Sidney nodded. CiCi wanted to launch herself into his arms, but knew better of it. She had a better idea instead. "Then let's get out of here."

CiCi grabbed the beers, carried them over to her table with Sid following behind. She didn't sit down though, instead she smiled at the girls, pointed to Sidney behind her and turned towards the exit. She could hear the cat calls coming from the table as the pair left, CiCi leading the way.

Out on the street and a few yards away from the busy bar front Sid grabbed CiCi's arm and twisted her around to face him. He had a mischievous grin on his face as he pulled CiCi close to him. "And where are we going Ms. Barsi?"

"My place. We need to lose the clothes immediately and not leave the bed for anything for the next thirty-six hours."

"I don't go home with women who don't know how to properly welcome me back to the city." CiCi rolled her eyes at this and smiled as she leaned up and captured his lips with a kiss, soft and tender and slow. When she pulled away he said, "We are camping out at my place."

"But we always go there!"

"Because I don't have roommates who could potentially barge into my room while I am naked."

"Mmm, that's too bad too. You're too beautiful to not see naked, all the time." She brushed her lips along his jaw and felt him shudder at her touch. "How did you get down here?"

"Cab. Left my car in storage until September. Do you want to go to your place first? In case you want anything with you?"

"Yeah. Let's hurry though, we are wasting valuable time standing here discussing this," CiCi said as she turned away and started walking in the direction of her house.

Minutes later the pair walked through the front door of CiCi's house and up towards her third floor bedroom. CiCi walked in the room first, not turning around and heading straight to her closet. She didn't get too far before she felt Sid's presence right behind her and his hands tickling her hips.

"I was jealous of every guy seeing you in this dress before you even left your house tonight," Sid whispered against CiCi's neck. His lips brushed against her earlobe and all thoughts of packing an overnight bag were forgotten. She leaned back against his firm chest and let his lips assault her neck as his hands ran to the front of her dress and up her torso to grab her breasts. She ground against him and felt he was ready for her. One hand ran back down to the hem of her dress, lifting it slowly he exposed her thighs and panties, soaking wet and flimsy against her heated skin. She moaned when she felt his fingers tickle across her heated core.

"I wore this for you," CiCi panted as his fingers dipped underneath her panties and ran across the sensitive skin leading to her swollen clit.

"It drove me crazy, I was hard for you before I even saw you in person." He moved his hand out of her panties, the elastic snapping against her skin, spun her around and reached for the dress bunched around her waist. As if on cue, CiCi lifted her arms for Sidney to pull the skin tight black dress up over her head. "Fuck, no bra Ci?" Sid moaned. He attacked her erect nipples with his mouth, alternating between bites and little suckles paying close attention to both breasts equally.

"I don't have much to hold up anyways," CiCi moaned as she twisted her fingers in the shorter black hair on Sid's head. Her self-deprecating comment stalled Sid and he stood up straight to study her features.

"They are perfect, you're perfect Cesira. Don't make comments like that please," he pleaded with her. She bit her lip and looked down at her naked form. He lifted her chin and for only the second time that night he kissed her. Without breaking the kiss CiCi reached for the buckle on Sid's belt and managed to release him from the confines of his jeans. Next she pushed his boxers off his hips and they stood in the middle of her room, he with his pants around his ankles, gray t-shirt still covering his fuller chest, she in just a flimsy thong. His hands still grasped her cheeks as he worked her mouth with his own, their tongues dancing together.

CiCi tugged at the offending piece of clothing still keeping them apart. Sid broke away from their embrace, reached behind his head and pulled the shirt off while he stepped out of his pants completely. He then quietly lifted CiCi in his arms, spun towards the bed and spread her out across it. Before he climbed on top he reached for the thin band of her underwear and slowly drew them down her legs, tickling the smooth skin of her calves along the way. He discarded the last piece of clothing to the floor, spread her legs to accommodate him and settled on top of her body.

"Say something," Sid whispered looking down at CiCi. He wanted to thrust inside of her, but chose not to yet. His angry head brushing against her core.

"I've really missed you," she said without hesitation. He crashed his lips to hers and pushed inside of her all at once, stretching her and making her want more. They weren't supposed to let feelings get in the way. At least not yet, but Sid couldn't deny hearing her express how she missed him made him yearn for her more. He didn't move, kissing her lazily. CiCi ran her hands down his back, and held onto Sid's hips as he continued with his forward motion. He broke their kiss and pushed his upper body up to look down at CiCi.

He pulled out and pushed in slowly, relishing in the way her body enveloped him. He was cloaked in her wetness and he slowly felt her succumbing to him. Her hand had moved to his backside as she gently put pressure on him. He knew that meant she wanted him deeper. He guided her legs around his waist and she cried out her pleasure. He kissed her on the lips and neither one of them seemed to care that his thrusts had slowed down. It always felt better when they were kissing. She then unwrapped her legs and he pushed her thighs into the mattress before picking up his speed. At this point in their lovemaking they didn't want to slow down, so he continued to thrust long and hard, breaking their languid kiss.

"Almost there baby?" Sid panted as he continued his frantic pace.

"Yes! Don't stop!" CiCi moaned only enticing Sid further. Her firm grasp on his backside moved to his biceps until her arms snaked around his neck and tugged at the hair at the nape of his neck. He instinctively lowered his face to hers and bit her bottom lip softly. He groaned as he felt her tighten around him and his release was approaching faster than he wanted.

"Come on Ci," he encouraged and leaned down and nibbled at her heaving breasts. His teeth grazing her sensitive nipples sent her soaring and she made no effort to hide her pleasure. She screamed his name as she convulsed under him sending him over the edge.

They lay in a sweaty heap on top of her bed making no effort to move, Sid still inside CiCi. "Incredible," CiCi mumbled into Sid's hair. He just nodded in agreement, unable to speak while he attempted to catch his breath. Her fingers ran down Sid's back, causing goose bumps to form along his arms.

Sidney finally moved enough to look at CiCi, never fully moving off her body not pulling out of her. "I swear it gets better every single time."

"Have you been practicing with Canadian women?" CiCi joked, but her joke was one-sided. Sid looked puzzled at her.

"Why would you say that?"

"Oh baby, I was just joking! I didn't mean it," CiCi explained when she saw the hurt in his eyes. Sid pulled out and rolled onto his back putting his hands behind his head. CiCi rolled onto her side and curled her body as close to Sidney as she could.

"I'm not like other professional athletes Cesira. I don't go around bragging about who I am or how much money I have. Aside from our unconventional meeting I don't go around sleeping with women and I don't cheat."

"Yeah, but Sidney who said anything about cheating when we really haven't defined what is going on with us? I mean we spent the better part of six days together then we have been apart for the last month. Then you show up here for two days and then you'll be gone again. I'm not asking you to stay, I am just asking to have a better understanding of what we are. Are we fuck buddies? Two people who hook up randomly? What is it?"

"We are more than fuck buddies Cesira." Sid looked determined to get past this conversation. "Can't we just be happy we found one another?"

"Oh believe me, I am beyond thrilled that we have found one another. But we are worlds apart socially, financially, and let's face it, we have nothing in common."

"But that's what I love most about us! We are the epitome of opposites attract. Because I can't imagine anyone else being able to turn me on just by explaining to me the importance of that graffiti artist from England and his being unidentifiable."

"You mean Banksy?" CiCi giggled.

"Yeah, that guy. Whatever." Sid tried pouting, but failed and started to smile.

"So we're a we? Like you and me?" She asked, wanting the reassurance. She rested her head on his shoulder and felt his lips against her forehead.

"You want me to ask?" Sid said with slight humor in his voice. When he didn't get a response from CiCi he went ahead and asked, "Will you be my girlfriend?"

She turned to be able to look at him and grinned so wide they erupted into giggles. "Now it sounds as if we are in junior high!"

"And I am kinda hurt you haven't answered yet. I mean, I put myself out there and I'm all vulnerable only to be crushed."

"Oh stop! Yes, I'll be your girlfriend." Sid's smile reflected CiCi's as he shifted to be on top of her again. He pressed his lips to hers and kissed her hungrily, grinding his hardening member against her thigh. "Again?"

"Oh you know it!" Sid exclaimed triumphant. CiCi felt triumphant too, because for once they stayed at her place.
