Changes

I woke up to an empty place and my first guess was they let me sleep in. I sleepily walked into the kitchen. I put a pot of coffee in while I leaned on the counter waiting for it to boil. I debated what to eat for breakfast and my choices were cereal or eggs so I decided since it was already noon just skip to lunch. When the machine beeped I pushed off the counter using my palms when I felt a piece of paper which happened to be a note from him.

Hey babe. I didn’t want to wake you so I just left with Jake for practice. I left my laptop unlocked on the coffee table in our living room. The Toronto Sun is beside it in case you find anything there I’m not sure you’re better at this then me. I’m sure you’ll find some stuff, we can go for a drive tomorrow to any places that caught your eye. I’ll come home to just stop by for a while before the game tonight. I’ll see you then :)

I set the note back down and grabbed a mug and poured my coffee and looked out through a big window in the kitchen. The city was so beautiful how will I ever find the perfect place there was just so many. I put my mug on a coaster on the coffee table, grabbed his laptop and starting googling for homes on sale near us. I found a few alright ones but none that screamed me. When I mean screamed me, I meant my budget. I wasn’t working, I lived at someone’s house and I don’t have much money in the bank. I didn’t want Morgan to fully pay it either because then if something were to happen between us where would I be stuck? I have always thought about that stuff and my future. I kept scrolling through houses when my stomach began to growl. I changed into a pair of black leggings and threw on one of Morgan’s oversized sweatshirts. I didn’t have a car either so I just walked to a McDonalds for lunch. I ate there and then walked around the city a bit. I ended up in this beautiful neighbourhood. It wasn’t much of a neighbourhood but it had a bunch of stores, beautiful towers and looked very modern. I personally loved the way it looked and I was hoping Morgan would too. I wrote down some addresses and headed back. When I reached our apartment I noticed Morgan just driving into the lot. I ran upstairs and went on his laptop and searched up the addresses I had written. He stepped in just when the pages loaded. I scrolled attentively while he took of his coat and shoes and kissed me on the cheek.

“Hey babe.” He looked on the screen, “Looks like you’ve found something.”

I shrugged my shoulders, “Little bit. Went for a walk and found a nice area and some very nice places to settle.”

“Let me see.” He said snuggling in closer to me.

“Well see these are some of the houses but I think we should look at an apartment before. I don’t think we need one right now.”

“It suits us. I like it.” He said looking impressed.

Morgan had taken a nap and gotten ready when he asked me to come to the game tonight. This game was quite important to the boys since the playoffs were coming up and they haven’t been doing as well as they expected and were doing at the beginning of the season. This game was their only slight chance of a playoff chance so it was quite nerve-wracking. He wanted me to go since it may be their last home game. I obviously agreed and threw on my jersey and just fixed my hair. I drove with Morgan and Jake and when we got their we split. I headed to where the wives and girlfriends usually meet before the game. When I got to the spot a few wives were their some with and some without their children. I talked to Elisha since I was closest to her and since there was some new girlfriends I didn’t know she introduced me. When the gates were about to open two girls one very tall and one very short toppled over to us. The short one was wearing a very tight t-shirt with Rielly on the back and the tall one was wearing a fairly tight jersey with Phaneuf on the back.

“Hello ladies. Is this where the girlfriends meet?” The tall one asked scanning the group.

“I’m Amy. She’s Joanne.” The short one said.

Elisha eyed there apparel, “So who are you girls with?”

Amy laughed, “Well Gardiner but Rielly is very hot so I got this shirt for him in case Jake doesn’t work out.”

“I’m with McLaren but don’t tell him I’m here for Dion.” She said turning around to show her jersey.

“So your trying to get Dion by using Frazer?” April Reimer asked walking into the conversation.

“Yeah duh. He’s loaded with cash.” Joanne nodded.

“Keep your poor manicured hands off my man alright.” Elisha growled flashing their marriage ring at them.

“Wow I never knew he was married what a waste of a jersey.” Joanne grunted.

“You girls make me sick.” Elisha spat shaking her head walking away.

I coughed, “Amy is it. What about Morgan?”

“Totally hot. If I can maybe hang with Jake at his place maybe just maybe I can get closer to Morgan.” She smirked.

I awed, “Too bad he doesn’t live with Jake anymore and he’s moving in with me.”

Amy stood there blank and couldn’t even reply. I walked away and headed inside the arena with the other girls and they both tried to catch up in their sky high heels. Game time I talked to some of the wives about what we were planning to do. They knew we were going to move but I had some false thoughts and some worries.

“What if the house is in a bad neighbourhood. What if its too far from the arena and my school. What if-” I rambled on until Lesley McClement cut me off.

“Life is too short for what if’s sweetie. I have lived by that saying my whole life and look where it has got me. I have a beautiful little boy and sitting at my husband’s game talking to an amazing girl who will be fine.” She quoted.

“You sure?” I said bitting my lip nervously.

“Yes I’m 100 percent sure. Worst comes to worst you can always come over and talk to me. My door is always open, remember that.” She said as we then turned to watch the game.

Game ended 5-2 with a very needed win. Morgan totaled with 2 assists and a +3 rank. The guys were all smiles afterwards as they were walking out of the arena to come get their girls. When Morgan walked out it was with Jake and I knew Amy would be near soon going to give Jake the most fake kiss or hug ever. I was very grateful when she decided to have a mini make out session right beside me. Morgan and I were both feeling awkward so we walked away while talking to Jonathan and Martine about the game. Jake was riding home with us so I prayed Amy wouldn’t come back. She said no when he asked her probably because she knew there would be tension between us. The whole ride home it was awkward since Jake was bragging about how amazing Amy apparently is. Now I understood why he kept getting hurt by girls so easily and so many times. It was obvious because he was easily tricked and was gullible. I felt sick of hearing all of his compliments towards her so I just headed to bed to get my mind off of her.
