No Sense of Direction

Chapter Thirty Eight

"Milan? Wh-What are you doing here?" I asked as I saw Milan standing in my doorway smiling towards me.

"I came to visit you, I had a few days off," he said as he dropped his bag next to me and then wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me into him, "I saw that you had a home game and decided that I would surprise you."

"Well, you definitely surprised me," I said as my hands laid on his chest.

"So how was time with my mother?" he asked as he walked in and I closed the door.

"Interesting," I answered and he smiled and then pressed his lips onto mine.

"It's always interesting," he laughed and then placed his hands on my thighs and picked me up.

"Milan," I smiled as he walked deeper into the house and then shoved me up against the wall.

"I missed you, Kat," he muttered into my neck and I shivered and then groaned at his touch, "It's been so long."

"I know," I managed to croak out and then wrapped my arms around his head and dug my fingers in his hair.

"Katrina," he breathed and then roughly pressed his lips onto mine.

-Milan-

I was so happy to see Kat, I've missed her so much, and it seemed like every time we talked on the phone, we argued. I had a few days off, so I asked Coach if I could miss the one practice, and flew down to spend some time with my girl. When I talked on the phone with my mother, she seemed off, like she was hiding something. When I talked to the guys about it, they didn't know what to say, other than going to see her, which I agreed with automatically.

I laid on my side and looked down at her, she was sleeping so peacefully, it put a smile on my face. I leaned against my elbow, resting my head on my hand, I saw that Kat had a stray piece of hair in her face and I moved it away and tucked it behind her ear. She groaned and then smiled, moving her head towards me, but not opening her eyes.

"Sid," she muttered and I snapped my face towards her, "stop," she breathed and I tensed up.

'...Is she dreaming about Crosby?...' I thought as I looked down towards her face to see that she had a frown.

"Milan," she said and I looked to see that started to cry, "stay."

'...What the hell is going on?...' I thought as I studied Kat, watched her every move.

"Milan," she breathed and I felt her hands reach out and she clutched my chest, "stay," she repeated and laid my arm down, only to feel her head move onto it.

"Kat," I called and she pulled herself onto me.

"Milan," she muttered again and I saw the smile form on her face as she dug her head into the crock of my neck and wrap her arms around my stomach.

I kissed her head and then smiled as she moaned my name when I pressed my lips onto hers, '...Something's going on here...'

-Dana-

I came into the house from the stables. I had finished cleaning the stalls and putting the coats on the horses because it was getting cold out. As I walked through the door, my phone went off and i smiled to see that it was Zach calling me. I didn't know what we were, but I just knew that I got really happy when I saw his name pop up on my phone.

"Hey," I said with a smile on my face.

"Hey, someone's happy," he laughed and I walked over towards the closet and threw my jacket in it.

"I just came in from taking care of the horses," I informed as I kicked my boots off and placed them by the back door.

"What are you wearing?" he asked and then laughed as I scoffed, "I'm just playing."

"What do you want, Zach?" I laughed as I walked into the house.

"Nothing much, just wanted to call, say hi," he informed and I was going to walk towards the kitchen, but I saw a bag laying on the floor in front of the front door, "Hello? Do you not want me to say hi?"

"What? No- I just- Hold on," I said and looked at the bag confused, because it wasn't there this morning.

"Dana?"

"Hold on!" I muttered and then walked over towards the bag and bent down in front of it. I saw the Bruins logo and knew who it was. I sighed and then picked up the bag and threw it onto the couch.

"What's wrong?" Zach asked hearing my aggravation.

"Milan's here," I informed and then heard silence on his end, "Zach?"

"When did he get here?"

"I don't know, probably an hour or so ago," I said as I walked into the kitchen and started to make a pot of coffee, "It wasn't here when I woke up at five."

"You were out with the horses for five hours?" he asked and I looked at the clock to see that it was after ten in the morning.

"Yeah, I guess so," I laughed and then grabbed a cup from the cabinet, only to gasp and drop the cup, hearing it drop to the floor when I saw Milan walking wearing on his boxers.

"Geez! Dammit Dana, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were here," Milan said completely wide eyed.

"God, go put some clothes on!" I yelled as I turned around completely embarrassed and then hearing him run up the stairs. I heard Zach calling my name on the phone, and I picked up the phone, which I dropped onto the floor, along with the ceramic mug.

"Dana?! Are you all right?"

"Yeah," I breathed out as I stuck the phone in-between my shoulder and ear, "Milan just came down in his boxers, scaring the shit out of me."

"Why that little-"

"For the benefit of the doubt, he didn't know I was here," I interjected before Zach said something stupid. I started to pick up the pieces of the mug and then throw them in the trash, "And this was my favorite cup too," I whined and then sighed.

"You all right?" Zach asked and I laughed a little, "What?"

"Aren't I usually the worrier?" I smirked when I heard him chuckle. I sighed again and then sat on the floor, seeing the dogs come over and start to play, "What are we gunna do about Kat, Zach?"

"I don't know," he breathed and I could hear the frustration in his voice, "The next time I'll be able to come up is Thanksgiving."

"You know she doesn't want to marry him," I said and making sure to look around to see if Milan was there or not.

"I know, I think she's got a thing for Crosby," Zach said and the pups started to climb on top of my legs.

"I know," I said, petting the pups on the head, "You know Milan's mom was here last week and she and Kat went dress shopping?"

"Yeah, she told me," Zach said and I heard him moving around, "She told me that Crosby went with them too."

"Poor guy, that must have been hard."

"No duh, but I like him, so I would really prefer my sister be with him instead of Lucic."

"I know you do Zach, trust we all know you do," I laughed and heard him laugh too.

"You should come down for the weekend," he said and I stared at my phone shocked.

"What?"

"I'm serious, Dana, you should come down! Come down and visit me, I miss you," he said and I smirked.

"I miss you too, I always have missed you," I informed and heard the smile on his face even from here, "I'll talk to Kat and see when I can come down."

"Really?"

"Yeah, why not?" I laughed at his excitement.

"All right, I can't wait!" he said and then I heard a bang on his end of the line and then heard Zach curse.

"You just fell out of bed, didn't you?" I laughed as I heard him groaned and complaining about his butt, "I knew it."
