Star Crossed
Chapter 11
I walked out of James's room and closed the door lightly, not wanting to wake anyone up. I sighed happily, I wanted nothing more than to be with James and I was just getting closer and closer to that.
Although I wanted James, I knew he was bad. Bad for not only me, but also Jake. James was like my guilty pleasure, and sometimes it seemed like that was all he would ever be.
"Have fun?" I heard an all to familiar voice say.
"What?" I asked pushing myself up from the door to James's room.
"You and Nealer" Sid said gesturing to the door. "Sid," I said simply trying to think of a way to start explaining.
"What did he hurt this time?" Sid asked, surprising me. "What?" I asked. "He's always hurt isn't he?" Sid laughed
How could he be so naive?
"It was his shoulder" I said remembering James mentioned that his shoulder was feeling sore.
"Will he be able to play?" Sid asked genuinely caring.
"
"He should be, but I don't make the final call" I said simply. Sid just stood there nodding as if knowingly. If only he knew. was all I could think.
"Thank you" Sid said walking over to me, enveloping me in a hug. "For what?" I asked, "For everything" He said leaning back to look at me before pecking me on the lips. "Breakfast?" He asked simply. "Of course Captain" I smiled at him.
Sidney's embrace was always so warm and caring, everything about it was just. Perfect. How could I possibly say no to him? And his eyes? And his smile? And him?
"Just let me change" I laughed. "You mean you don't want to sit in your work clothes all day?" He said sarcastically leaning against the wall waiting for me to open the door, "About as much as you want to lay around in your gear" I laughed. "Hey, thats not fair, Yours doesnt smell bad" he said leaning forward, closer to me, "Well as bad" He joked. I opened my mouth in fake shock before i shoved his shoulder and pushed the door open.
"Squeaky clean" He laughed as he followed me into my room.
"What are you, a clean freak?" He joked. "You caught me" I said looking over my shoulder to see him already staring at me. "What?" I asked turning around to face him. "Nothing" he laughed slightly, turning his head to look at the floor. "What?!" I asked, making him look up at me. "Youre cute" he laughed, "Did you know that?"
"Thats not what i was expecting you to say." I said as he leaned back to sit on my bed. "What did you think i was going to say?" He asked. "Some stupid joke about being clean" I laughed as I rummaged through my suit case. "No, I'm way past that" He said as he turned on the TV.
I finally found a shirt and jeans and turned around to see Sid stretched out on my bed arms behind his head, watching the screen intently. "Alright" I said trying to get him to notice me motioning for him to leave so I could change. Nothing. "Sid!" I said louder. Still Nothing. "Hey!" I said throwing a shirt from my suitcase at him. "What?" he asked finally moving his eyes from the screen to me. "Out" I said motioning at the door. "Why?" He asked confused. "Im getting changed" I sighed. "I dont mind." He laughed. "I do" I said laughing at how pathetic he is. "Fine" He sighed getting up and walking towards the door, "But you might need this," He smiled throwing the shirt back at me.
"What do you want?" He asked looking at me over the menu.
"I dont know, Its all so fancy" I said surprised as I looked down at the menu, "Im not used to fancy foods, Do they have just scrabbled eggs?" I asked putting the menu down to see him smiling at me. "I can ask" He said still smiling as he waved a waitress over and ordered two plates of scrambled eggs.
"Look at you," I laughed, "A millionare and out of everything you ordered scrambled eggs." "Why not?" He smiled. "I don't know" I said glaring at him, "You dont seem like the scrambled eggs type" "Theres a type?" He laughed. "Of course!" I said as if it was obvious. "Well i used to love them as a kid" He said leaning his head on his hands. "Not anymore?" I asked. "Havent had them in awhile" He said simply. "Gotcha" I said leaning back, smiling at the mystery man infront of me that was Sidney Crosby,
"So let me get this straight," He said leaning back in his chair. "You've never played twister?" He asked me as if it was a crime. "Not once" I smiled, "It just seemed weird to me." "You seem weird to me" he smiled. "Hey!" I said pretending to be offended. "But that's what makes you attractive" He laughed. "Alright now thats weird" I smiled at his complement, "Weirdo"
The waitress placed the check on the table and Sidney pulled his wallet out almost immediately. "How much is it? we could split." I said reaching for the check. Sidney took it, pulling it out of my grasp before saying, "No no no, A gentleman always pays for his lady." "His lady?" I smiled at him. "Yes, my lady" He smiled handing the money to the waitress. "Well thank you, for paying, and for a great morning" I smiled as he held my hand. "No, youre the one that made it good, this would just be me by myself on a usual morning." "Really?" I asked knowing that wasn't true. "Well me and Flower. But he's not as good as you" He smiled. "Im telling him you said that I said as we both put on our coats. "He already knows." He laughed. "How?" I asked starting to button my coat. "I told him I would have to skip because I was starting my morning off with a beautiful lady." He smiled down at me crookedly. "Can you stop being cute? Its killing me" I joked as he came closer, taking both my hands in his. "Well, Lucky for you Ive got practice, so you have a few hours to rest up before i kill you when I take you out to dinner" He smiled. "Oh really, what makes you so sure?" I said messing with him. "Nothing," he chuckled," I was just hoping that would work." "Well it did" I smiled as we started to walk, "But what about your game?" I asked. "After the game?" He said staring straight ahead. "Alright" I smiled to myself.
I fell asleep almost imediately after we got back to the hotel. As soon as I got into my room, I threw my room key onto the nightstand and fell asleep.
Next thing i knew it was 11:40 and there was a knocking at the door. "Oh my god sid! I am so sorry! I completely forgot" I said swinging the door open to see him standing there, both hands behind his back. "It's alright" he smiled, "I have other plans anyway" he said pulling out a dozen roses from behind his back. Along with one simple board game.
Twister.
