Dallas

*Alex’s P.O.V*

“Come on Jamie just get Marshy already so we can take him on a walk cause like Tyler said ‘he needed to sleep in’.”

Jamie smiled making his dimples show off.

“Fine fine. I’ll get him. Are you going to come in with me?”

“Yeah I wanna see what hoebag Tyler got in his bed this time.”

Jamie laughed as he unlocked the apartment door. We both knew Tyler must have had someone with him ‘cause he loved to be with Marshal whenever he could. Once we both got in the apartment I made my way quietly over to Tyler’s bedroom door which was somewhat propped open. I looked in to see if I could see the girls face, but her back was turned to me. From behind me I heard paw steps and when I turned and saw Marshall’s big brown eyes looking up at me.

“Hey Marshy! How’s it going bud?”

I said this in a low whisper so Marshall could hear but it wouldn’t disturb Tyler and his lady friend. I scratched behind his ear and he let out a happy bark, which was very loud. I put my finger up to my lips and shushed him and heard a groan from Tyler’s room.

“Marshy go back to bed.”

A female voice said from Tyler’s room. I peeked in Tyler’s room again and this time the girls face was towards me but she was back asleep and I couldn’t believe my eyes. I pulled out my phone and snapped a picture of Carrie and Tyler asleep.

“I’m so using this against her.”

“Using what?”

Jamie walked towards me with Marshall’s leash. I just pointed at Tyler’s bedroom so he looked in. His jaw dropped in disbelief.

“Holy crap he actually slept with her…”

“Come on lets go get Marshy walked I don’t want to be in here when those two wake up.”

Jamie just nodded his head and snapped the leash on Marshall’s collar and we headed out the door.
*Carrie’s P.O.V*

I woke up with one of Tyler’s tattooed arms around my waist. I yawned and looked around his bedroom. I knew where I was but I had a headache, probably a hangover I remember downing a couple of beers last night. I moved Tyler’s arm of my waist and slid out of the bed and grabbed one of his shirts and pulled it over myself. As I made my way to the bathroom I ran my hands over the silk bed shirt that I was wearing. I got into the bathroom and I closed the door quitely so I didn’t wake up Tyler. I looked at myself in the mirror and then I ran some cold water over my face. I looked at the clock in the bathroom.

“Oh shit I’m going to be late and so is Tyler.”

I made my way out of the bathroom to find Tyler awake and sitting up in the bed.

“Hey there.”

He said this with his toothy smile that could make any girls heart melt.

“Hey yourself.”

“Did you sleep good?”

Tyler asked as he made his way off the bed and slowly got dressed. I was going to say I did have a good sleep but I got lost in staring at Tyler as he got dressed. Damn he’s hot. His eyes met mine and I quickly looked away blushing.

“Like what you see?”

“Maybe...Maybe not.”

Tyler smiled at me and pulled his shirt over his head but slowed down so his abs would show for about a minute.

“Really Tyler?”

“Oh you know you like what you’re seeing Carrie.”

I rolled my eyes and started picking my clothes up that where on the ground. I pulled on my panties then my jeans and caught Tyler watching me.

“Like what you see?”

“I really do.”

At that moment Tyler pulled me to him and kissed me on the lips passionately. I smiled when he kissed me. This is definitely not the Tyler Seguin I had been hearing about.

“You know we’re both going to be late if you keep this up.”

Tyler groaned and looked at the clock then back at me with an expression that said “do I really have to go to practice and do you really have to go to class”. I smiled and kissed his cheek.

“Don’t worry I’ll meet you for lunch. I only have one class today.”

“Fine… but can you drive me to practice? I don’t want to crash while looking at your beautiful face.”

“Yes I’ll drive you. Make sure you get something to eat. I’m going to hop in the shower ‘cause I don’t want my classmates to be like ‘ew you smell’.”

“Alright I’ll get something to eat.”

I kissed Tyler one more time before he went out of his bedroom and I slipped into his bathroom to get a quick shower. I turned on the shower and slipped off my clothes and Tylers shirt. Thankfully I had found my bra and shirt, so I laid all my clothes together in a dry spot. Once I got in the shower I let the hot water pour over me. While I cleaned myself I thought about how Tyler was treating me. I let myself ponder the thought. As I finished I turned off the shower and grabbed a towel and I could smell bacon. I quickly dried myself off and put my clothes on and headed out while towel drying my hair. I got in the kitchen and saw Tyler cooking.

“So what’s cooking?”

Tyler turned around and smiled.

“Oh just some bacon and eggs for two. You need to eat breakfast also.”

“I thought you liked to skip breakfast. Like that team breakfast with the stars that one time.”

I said teasingly as I made my way into the kitchen.

“Well the Stars don’t have you eating breakfast with the team. I’d rather eat breakfast with you then Jamie any day.”

I was about to kiss him when I heard “Hey!” behind me in a offensive tone. It was Jamie and Alex with Marshall. I blushed when I saw Alex’s disapproving look.

“That’s hurtful Tyler.”

“Oh come on Jamie don’t be such a baby.”

Jamie faked pouted but couldn’t help but smile when Alex rolled her eyes at me. Alex walked over to me and pulled me to Tyler’s room, I figured she needed to talk to me. Once we were in his room she shut the door.

“What the hell Carrie? Shea one night then Tyler?”

“The thing with Shea was a huge mistake. I took him to cheer practice with me and next thing I know he was making out with Ashley Cummings.”

It was quiet for about a minute so Alex could process that through her mind of Shea making out with Ashley.

“First of all that’s so nasty. Secondly still why Tyler? Everyone knows hes a player. Do you just want to get hurt?”

“Tyler’s not like that. He is actually a nice guy.”

“I’ve seen how he treats girls Carrie.”

“Maybe he’s changed.”

“Yeah he’s ‘changed’. Come on Carrie I know you’re smarter than that. You know a guy like Tyler isn’t going to ever change.”

I felt anger, like I had when I saw Ashley kissing Shea, boil up in me. Before I did anything stupid I went for the door and opened it and walked to the kitchen.

“Come on Tyler lets go.”

Tyler was all smiles before he saw my expression. I had my jaw clenched and my fists in a ball trying my best to hold back my anger.

“Alright. See ya at practice Jamie.”

Tyler grabbed his bag and headed out the door with me. Once we got down to my truck I unlocked it and climbed in before I started it Tyler looked at me concerned.

“Carrie what’s wrong?”

“You. Why do you have to make me fall for you but you’re just a player.”

I felt some tears trying to escape from my eyes and I looked at Tyler who was taken back by what I said.

“You really think I’m a player?”

I could tell by his soft brown eyes that what I said had hurt him.

“I don’t know what to think. You’ve been known to be one. What if that is still true…”

I looked down at my steering wheel and a few tears fell from my face. I felt a hand on my shoulder so I looked to my right at Tyler. His expression was soft and caring.

“Carrie. I wouldn’t take a girl who was upset to the zoo just to cheer her up so I could get in her pants.”

“But you did get in my pants.”

“I know, but that wasn’t my intention. I wanted to help cheer you up. You’re too beautiful to be upset ‘cause of some guy.”

This made me smile even though I didn’t want to.

“Thanks Tyler.”

The truck was quite all the way to the rink. When I pulled into the parking lot I sighed.

“You still want to meet up for lunch?”

“Of course I do Carrie.”

I parked my truck and unbuckled my seatbelt and got out.

“Hey I gotta go in to talk to my coach so I guess I could walk you to the locker room.”

Tyler smiled as he grabbed his bag and made his way into the building with me. When we made it near the locker room I was holding hands with Tyler and some of the guys were hanging outside the locker room. When they saw us they gave Tyler a suspicious look except for Jamie who just smiled.

“Hey guys.”

“Hey Tyler who’s the pretty girl?”

Tyler was about to introduce me when someone came up from behind us.

“Carrie! There you are!”

I turned around and saw my coach with her hands on her hips.

“Why didn’t you call me back last night? We need to work on your routine if you want to go to Sochi!”

“Sorry coach I…”

I looked at Tyler and then back at her then at my feet. My coach came close to us and in a low whisper said,

“If you distract her again and she misses the Olympics because of you I swear to God you will regret it.”

I let go of Tyler’s hand and walked off with my coach so we could talk.

*Tyler’s POV*

When Carrie left something inside me didn’t feel right. I turned around and headed into the locker room trying to clear my mind. I got to my spot when Jamie came over and sat next to me.

“So what’s up with you and Carrie?”

“Nothing.”

“Are you sure? I mean I haven’t seen you look at a girl that way in well… ever.”

I sighed and put my head in my hands and this weird feeling came over me when I thought of Carrie. She was just so… amazing.

“I don’t know Jamie… I just… don’t. I keep getting this weird feeling when I’m with her or even if I think about her.”

“Oh my God Tyler. You’re falling for her aren’t you!?”

I snapped my head up and looked directly at Jamie. Did he just say what I think he said.

“What? No. Well I don’t think I am…”

“You totally are! You’re falling in love with Carrie! Wow the mighty Tyler Seguin is becoming soft with love.”

“Yeah yeah yeah whatever. Won’t stop me from beating your ass in practice.”

“Bring it lover boy.”

I stood up and so did Jamie and we started to wrestle like we would if we were brothers. When coach came in he stopped us and glared at us.

“Really you two?”

“Sorry coach.”

Jamie and I said together. When we got on the ice coach kept reminding us it was game day so we needed to get our heads in it even if it was just pre-season, but all I could think about was Carrie.
