Can I Trust You?

(SID POV)

'I have to finish packing' were my first thoughts when I woke up. After I dropped Gracie off at home, we ended up going inside and sitting on the couch talking. It did in fact involve make outs here and there. Which I'm not complaining about at all. Kissing her is like I'm in heaven. The next couple weeks without her with me while I'm in Russia is going to be tough.

I'm also gonna try to impress her even more while there. I wanna win the gold medal again. I know Geno would like it more if her won the gold with it being his home country and all, but I wanna win again. Then again, I'll be fine coming home with a medal, gold or not.

While I was making myself some eggs, my phone chimed.
'When do u want me to come over today?' Gracie wrote.
'Now if u want. Do u want eggs? I'm making some.'
'K. Yes plz. I'll b over soon. Love u'
'Love u 2'

I finished making my eggs and started on Gracie's eggs. I'm glad she's coming over so we can spend some more time together. Just as I get her eggs on a plate for her, I hear the gate buzzer. K check just to make sure its her before I open the gate. I always do that because random fans will show up or puck bunnies.

After opening the gate, I go outside on the porch and wait for her. When she gets out of the car she automatically smiles when she sees me.

"Hi beautiful"
"Hi handsome" she said before giving me a kiss
"You know you're out in the cold shirtless right?" She smirked while running her hands and nails up and down my abs and chest.
"Nope just realized it" I smiled back. "Let's go in before your eggs get cold"

When we got inside, luckily her eggs were still hot. I had been eating mine while making hers so it's just about gone.
"They good" I asked rubbing her arms while standing behind her.
"These are delicious Sid! Thank you!" she said lacing one of her hands with mine.
"You're welcome. I'm just gonna start the other dishes. Don't worry you're in no rush. Just enjoy them," I kissed her head before walking around the island to the sink.
"Okay," she smiled. Fuck she's beautiful. Even in yoga pants and long sleeve work out shirt she's still beautiful.

When she was done, she asked me if I wanted her to wash her dishes and I told her no while taking her dishes out of her hands.
"Do you want me to start getting some of your things together for Russia then?" she smiled.
"Okay. I have some things laid out in my room with my suitcase on the floor at the foot of the bed. Could you help with that?"
"Of course. Just come up when your done"
"Okay. Do you remember the way to my room?"
"I might be able to get myself there"
"Okay sweetie," I laughed

(GRACIE POV)

When I got up to Sid's room, I saw a few suits and other clothes on his bed. I also saw some shoes at the foot of his bed with his suitcase.

First thing I did was check his suits. When I went over there, I saw a pile of ties that I guess he didn't know which ones to choose. So just in case, I put all his ties lined up to see which ones went with each suit.

As I was laying them out to figure it out, I felt arms wrap around my waist hugging me from behind. "How's it going baby?" Sid asked kissing my neck.
"Good I'm guessing you couldn't choose what ties to take?" I said turning in his arms to smile at him.
"Yea," he said sheepishly. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down so I could kiss him.
"It's okay. I'm just laying them out to see what tie goes with what suit"
"What would I do without you?"
"I honestly don't think you'd have a problem. I've seen pictures of you in a suit before. You did good. And looked hot," I blushed at my confession.
"Well thank you beautiful. I'm going to get some of my toiletries packed. Just things I won't need tomorrow morning"
"Okay. I'm going to finish with your suits and ties. I don't know if you have a system or not packing everything else so I will wait till you get done," I said turning back to the bed.

I finished putting his ties and suits together and went in the bathroom with Sid. I was watching him pack his toiletries. He seemed really focused. When he was looking through the bag, I went up behind him and wrapped my arms around him.
"Hey baby," he said softly
"I'm gonna miss you," I said just as softly while kissing his back.
"I'll miss you too," he turned around and wrapped his arms around me holding me to him.
"I finished with your suits and ties. I put the ties with the suits I thought it went best with in the suit bag. You just have to pack everything else"
"You're amazing. I love you," he said kissing me
"I love you too Sid," I said kissing him back

I guess it's a good thing nothing else is on the bed because Sid picked me up and carried me back to the bedroom. Still locked in his arms, he laid us down on the bed and continued kissing me. I kept panting and moaning out for him. Even though I'm not quite ready yet, doesn't mean that I don't know that I'm turned on. Really turned on.

When we break apart for air, I can't really read the look on Sid's face.
"I'm sorry baby. I didn't mean to take it that far. I know your not ready yet. I'm sorry baby," he kept apologizing. It was cute to know he was concerned though.
"Sid it's okay. I was as much a part of that as you were. I know I'm not exactly ready yet, but it doesn't mean we can't make out. Don't worry I'm not mad."
"Are you sure? I don't want you to feel rushed."
"I promise I'm fine. Now either make out then pack or pack then make out? Pick one," I smiled.
"Don't be mad, but pack then make out"
"That sounds good to me. More time to make out when we get done packing," I winked.
"Oh god you will be the death of me," he groaned
I just laughed at him and looked down noticing the impossible to miss bulge in his pants. I just kept laughing. Sid turned around to look at me since he turned around when he got up and noticed what I was laughing about.

"You know this is all because of you right?" he said smirking pointing at his noticeable erection. I just blushed in response.
"Hey you're the only girl that can do this to me. And we will make love when you're ready. Okay?" he said kneeling in front of me.
"Yes. I love you Sid. I'll miss you while you're in Russia. Yes I know I'll be rooting for the U.S., but I'll root for you too. And Finland and Russia," I said sheepishly.
"You're doing this because of the Pens on those teams aren't ya?" he smiled.
"Yea. I couldn't exactly choose. It didn't feel right to against any of you guys"
"It's okay baby. But I do wanna give you something"
"Ooh what is it?" I asked excitedly.

He went into his closet and I saw him looking thought his jerseys. Finally he pulled on out.
"It's a worn jersey. It's from when I won the gold medal in 2010 in Vancouver scoring the 'Golden Goal'. I want you to have it"
"This is the jersey you wore when you won the gold? Why didn't you have this framed? Of course I'll wear it. I'm just shocked it's not in a frame or something," I said. 'Holy Shit' I thought.
"I don't know why I never framed it. But yes I want you to have it and wear it," he smiled.
"I'll take good care of it I promise. Thank you"
"You're welcome. I know you will. I trust you," he said before kissing me again.
"Okay lets finish packing," I said pushing away reluctantly.
"Okay," he pouted

(SID POV)

This girl is too damn irresistible. I could kiss her all day. Today is just about spending time together before I leave tomorrow. I wish I could take her with me, but I know she'll be cheering for me and will be here when I get back.

When we finish packing, we decided to watch a movie. We just cuddled on the couch with me holding her tight in my arms watching movies on Netflix.

During the movie, a romantic love scene comes on. Gracie just cuddles into me more until I think we can't move together anymore. I just look down at her in my arms overcome by her beauty.
"I love you baby," I said softly, kissing her temple and cheek.
She turns her head to look at me and all I see is love in her eyes. "I love you too"
I couldn't help myself but to kiss her again. I'm obsessed with her lips. When I feel her tongue graze my lips, I immediately let her in. Our tongues dance with each other, battling for dominance. As our breathing gets heavy, we pretty much forget about the movie which was almost over anyways before we started making out.

When we break apart, we just stare at each other with smiles on our faces and love in our eyes. I peck her lips again before we turn back to the TV to find another movie. After picking the next movie, I feel Gracie's breathing even out. Looking down at her, I see she's fallen asleep. I soon follow, falling asleep with my girl in my arms.

A few hours later, I wake up on the couch. When I reach to hug Gracie to me, I realize she's not next to me. I look around the living room and still see some of her things so I know she didn't leave or anything. As soon as I sit up, I hear Gracie come into the room.

"Awe I wanted to be back from the bathroom when you woke up. Dammit," Gracie whined. She's too cute.
"It's alright baby. Since it's about dinner time, you wanna order pizza?" I asked wrapping my arms around her.
"Sure. Do you want me to order? What do you want on it?"
"Let's just get pepperoni. I'm not in the mood for anything else. You can order it if you want"
"Okay. I'll be back. Get some plates and napkins"
"We can eat in the living room"
"K" she kissed my cheek before grabbing her phone and the menu to order.

When the pizza arrived, we sat down in the living room and just talked about random thing. The topic then went to the Olympics.
"Are you excited about them?" she asked softly.
"Yea. I'm also nervous," I admitted
"Why are you nervous?" she replied running her fingers through my hair.
"I wanna win again. Take my country to the gold medal again. I wanna win for you," I said looking in her eyes.
"I have faith that you'll get the gold. Yes I want U.S. to win, but I also want you to win. But why do wanna win for me?"
"I wanna impress you. I wanna make you proud of me"
"Sid you don't need to impress me. And I'm already proud of you. I have been since I knew you entered the league," she said running her hands through my hair.
"I know. It's not gonna stop me you know?" I smirked
"I know"

Later on I could tell Gracie was fighting to stay awake. I don't want her to go, especially now that she's tired. I don't want her driving tired.
"Baby why don't you stay the night?"
"Mmm," she moans and cuddles into my arms more," Okay"
"Alright. C'mon baby. Lets go to bed." Instead of her getting up, I just picked her up bridal style and carried her to the bedroom.

When we got there, I gave her some sweats to change into. While she was in the bathroom changing, I stripped down to my boxers and crawled into bed flicking the TV on. I saw sports center was starting so I put that on.

When she came out of the bathroom, I turned the TV off and waited for her to crawl in. " Goodnight baby," I said kissing her head.
"Goodnight," she mumbled into my chest. With her in my arms, I got a good nights sleep.

*NEXT MORNING*
(GRACIE POV)

I can't believe I fell asleep on Sid last night. I feel so bad. I hope he's not mad. We were supposed to spend time together last night even though we were together all day, and I fell asleep on him.

My thoughts are suddenly broken by the alarm. Looking at the clock, I see it's 4:00 in the morning. Why did they have to have a flight this early in the morning?
"Good morning baby," Sid says softly and groggily.
"Morning. What time's your flight?"
"8:00"
"Mmm. I don't want you to go," I mumble turning to cuddle into his chest.
"I know beautiful. But I have to fly to New York then fly to Russia"
"I know"
"You coming with me to the airport?"
"Yea. We can take my car so your isn't sitting in the airport parking lot for 2 to 3 weeks."
"Good idea"
"Are you're parents going?"
"Yea. I'm meeting them New York. I can't wait for you to meet them"
"I can't wait either. Even though I'm nervous"
"Why?" he asked concerned.
"Because I want them to like me. I don't want them to think I'm a gold digger after your money. I'm not"
"I know baby. Believe me they already love you. All I do is talk about you to them. They can't wait to meet you"
"I guess that's a good thing"
"It is. How bout this? They are coming back to Pittsburgh with me after the Olympics for a few days. Why don't we all go to dinner somewhere nice?"
"I like that idea," I smiled.
"Good," he kissed me before getting up. "C'mon lets get ready to go. I have to shower though"
"Okay. I'm gonna make some coffee. I need to be awake"
He chuckled, "okay"

Once Sid was showered and we had coffee, we loaded everything in the back of my care before heading to the airport. Sid didn't let me drive, which I didn't mind because I'm tired. So tired I fell asleep on the way there. Not unexpected with is being almost 5:00 in the morning.

Next thing I know, Sid's waking me up so can go inside.
"Baby c'mon we gotta go in"
"Okay," I got out of the car and went to the back to help Sid with his bags.

When we got inside, Sid checked in while I went to the bathroom. When I got back out, I saw Sid on the bench near the restrooms and went over to him.
"You okay Sid?" I asked rubbing his arm, feeling his muscles which I noticed were tense.
"Yea. I just hate that we've been dating for a few weeks and I'm already leaving. I know there's been a few road games in between this time, but now I'm going to a different country for a few weeks on the other side of the world. I don't wanna leave you," he said softly looking in my eyes.
"It's okay. Yea I don't want you to go either, but we'll be able to talk a little bit. At least through text anyway. It'll be okay," I said kissing his cheek, letting it linger.
"Well I better go through security," he said sadly.

When we stood up, he automatically took me into his arms. I snuggled in more not wanting to let him go.
"I love you baby. I'll miss you. I'll call you, text you, skype you whenever I can. I'll be home soon," he said kissing me.
"I know. I love you too handsome. Good luck. And please don't come back with an injury," I said joking a little bit trying to lighten the mood.
"I'll try. I love you," he said kissing my forehead before letting me go.
"I love you too"
He gave me one more lingering kiss on my lips while rubbing his thumb over my cheek before walking to security. I'm really gonna miss him.

(NOBODY POV)

'This is gonna be a long 2 to 3 weeks' Gracie and Sid both thought once they were away from each other.
