Breaking the Ice

Vingt- six

In the morning my head was pounding, Luckily Sid could tell from the pained look on my face. He kissed my temples and pulled me close to him.

“It’s cold.” I whispered.

“Let’s head in. We have breakfast in a bit.” I nodded and walked towards the bathroom. Once the hot water was running I stepped in, anxious to wash away the tears dried on my cheeks.

I heard the curtain open and his hands landed on my hips.

“Is this okay?” he asked. I nodded. It’d been a long time since we showered together. We showered for the most part but he turned me by my hips to face him.

“I love you.” I mumbled into his smooth chest.

“I love you too.” he said slowly, into my wet hair.

“Sid..” I said, biting my lip.

“Yes honey?” he asked, a finger under my chin making me look at him.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry for being so…bipolar when it comes to us. I really do want to be with you. Duper even gave me his approval.” I chuckled at the last part.

“I know….but you hurt me. Seeing you with Joey V, I just couldn’t take it. I blamed myself and I was trying to think of how I could have pushed you away. “


“I know. I’m so sorry.” I said holding him tight.

“Let’s just play our game tonight.” He smiled kissing me. A wave of pain came over me as I remembered that I’d have to face the team again. My heart sank and he could tell.

“They all know…” I trailed off, burying my face into his chest.

“Don’t worry. Focus on the game.” He said kissing my head.



And just like that it was over. We beat Ottawa and my game was better, but we had lost the Boston series since game 1.

We all took it hard. We were the team that was supposed to win. We should have at least made it to the finals.

When we arrived back in Pittsburgh Sid led me to his car.

“We’ll a have someone bring your car over in the morning.” He said opening his car door for me. I just nodded and stared out the window. When we got to his house I walked in and stole a Gatorade from the fridge. I sat on the couch in silence and just broke down. He sat next to me and put an arm around my shoulder. The drama surrounding the sweep kept the attention of me and my relationship with any of my teammates.

I rested my head on his shoulder and he kissed my forehead. I was already dreading the next day. We’d have our “locker cleaning day”. We’d take our gear home, say goodbye to the guys who were rentals and head the fuck home.

Sid and I barely said 10 words to each other that night.

“I love you.” He whispered as he held me in bed. It was much earlier than we usually slept, but we just wanted to escape the world.

Locker cleanout day was sad. We said our goodbyes to the people we’d made instant friendships with. The guys we wouldn’t see over the summer. Geno and I hugged for so long.

“Love you, little Texas girl.” He said picking me up.

“When do you leave?” I asked not wanting to let go of him.

“Tomorrow. Morning. I see soon. Come visit.” I smiled as he put me down and Sid and I drove home together.

“When are you leaving?” I asked him when we were in the car.

“It depends. When are you leaving?” he asked looking at me.

“It’s much easier for me to just book a random flight. I can leave whenever.” I said crossing my arms.

“Well, do you want to stay here for a few days?” he said, his voice was a little annoyed, but so was I. Everything just sucked.

“Like I said Sid. We can just give it some time?”

He scoffed and then pulled off the road.

“Holy shit!” I yelled, holding on to the handles of his SUV.

“The fuck are you doing?!” I asked, scared and nervous.

“What the fuck do you want?” he said, turning off the car and looking at me angrily.

“I told you. We need some time…away. I doubt you want to spend any time in Texas during the summer so I could come visit, or we could come back here or something. I don’t know what you want me to say.” I said crossing my arms. He just groaned.

“You know a lot of those Stars guys right?” he asked uncomfortably, crossing his arms.

“Yeah, I met a couple of them as a fan. I only really keep in touch with BDills though….wait. I swear to God if this is about what I think it’s about…..”

“I’m just saying, I don’t want you to go back and hook up with-“ he started.

“Are you fucking kidding me? What happened with Joey V was one time. You know me. I’m not the kind of person to just go back to doing that…you know what, forget it.” I said grabbing my purse from the floor and getting out of the car.

“Mel, stop, don’t be like that!” he called. I started walking back in the direction of Consol. He was inches behind me in an instant.

“Sid, you think I don’t give a fuck about you and that’s far from the truth. What am I gonna do while I’m home? Fuck the whole team? Are you saying you can’t trust me now?” I screamed, tears pouring down my face.

“What, am I crazy now? Did I just imagine you with him…twice? Am I supposed to just forget about that?” He yelled, stopping me.

“I’m sorry, but….it’s not going to be like that. You don’t have to watch me like a hawk. I do love you.” I cried into his arms.

“I know. Let’s just get home. We’re both probably just testy after….Boston.” that was all he could say about our embarrassing loss. We went back to his place where I made a quiet dinner, his favorite, lobster with corn and a baked potato.

“I’ll leave in a week.” I said out of the blue at dinner. Sid nearly choked on his food.

“You will?” he asked, bright eyed.

“Yeah. We can…work on us.” I smiled.
