Still There For Me

Sidney had a long day of training and we still hadn’t had a conversation about last night. It’s been bothering me but I guess it’s none of my business. I have been waiting for Sid to get back from the rink so we can get some wedding planning done, or just cover the basics, then I’ll go pick up the kids while he works out in the gym.

“Yo Ashwipe!” he yelled, coming in from the garage door.

“Yes Cindy?” I rolled my eyes, laughing at him.

“Don’t call me that.”

“Well don’t call me that. Loser.”

“Anyway! What’s up?”

“Just waiting for you,” I smirked.

“Uh, why? Am I in trouble?”

“No. I just want to discuss some things with you.”

“Like?” he asked with pure panic in his eyes.

“Calm down, it’s just about some wedding details we need to establish.”

“We said it wouldn’t be for months? Why would you think that’s something we need to start talking about?” he asked, sitting on the other end of the couch and resting his arm on the back of it.

“Because these things take time and I need to start figuring out what we want to do, just the basic information like where, or when, do we want a wedding planner? Things like that.”

“Well, what do you have in mind?”

“I’m not sure yet, I wanna hear what you have to say because I know you won’t be a huge part of the planning process because you’ll be so busy with hockey. I just want it to be in the summer so that you can be focused on the wedding and getting last minute details done.”

“Well with that being said, I think it would be nice if we could get married in Cole Harbour or somewhere in the area. I think it has a good significance in both our lives and that it would be a picture perfect moment for us. It would be so meaningful, and perfect.”

“I like the way you think Crosby. Okay, as for dates, when would you like it? This summer? Next summer?”

“I think next summer would work best. I mean, this summer could work but it’d be so rushed, and I don’t want to do that. I think it would be best if we wait it out. Even the year after that would work just fine for me. But you can pick that. I understand this is your day, and I want you to knock yourself out.”

“Oh I will. Do you want to get married outside or in a church?”

“That’s a tough one. I’ll have to think about that one. I don’t want to disrespect my grandmother’s.”

“Me either. We can work that one out. Do you have any ideas of groomsmen?”

“Not really no. I’ll have to think of that one too. Have you thought about who you want your homegirls to be?”

“Homegirls?” I chuckled.

“I don’t know what they’re called!” he laughed. “I just said what I thought worked best to describe them.”

“You’re an idiot,” I laughed. “But thanks for trying.” I kissed him, genuinely catching a glimpse of the old Sid. “And for the record I for sure want our sisters and Katie. Maybe Heather and Vero? Depends on how much we want.”

“That could work for me. But babe, I really gotta go make a call for work. I’ll be back. When are you going to pick up the kids?”

“At 11, just around lunch time for them so I can help Nathalie and then I’ll bring them home.”

“Okay, well I’ll be at the gym then so just leave whenever you want. By the time you get home I might be done. Who knows?”

“That’s fine. Have fun, and thank you,” I grinned.

“For what?”

“For finally talking about this with me, and for making me feel like you actually want to get married.”

“I know baby. I’m trying. I’m just a guy, you know how we are,” he kissed me. I watched him walk out of the room and to his office. Damn he is one sexy man. Work out shorts, tight tshirt, backwards baseball hat. My ideal man. I don’t know how I got so lucky sometimes.

**Later That Day**
The pickup of the kids went great, they were very excited to see me. They were even more excited to see their daddy when they got back. I totally understand why they would be, they love seeing their dad. We had a busy day with the kids playing and getting some quality Sidney time. Once I gave them a bath and put them to bed, Sidney was having a massage from Alexia since the person we hired has a family matter to attend to.

“You’re so tense today! What happened?” she asked in her squeaky voice.

"I had an intense practice and work out at the gym," he chuckled back.

"I can feel it. You need a really deep massage." He then let out a moan, so she asked, "what was that for?"

"It felt really good."

"It's very sensual, I know," I could hear her moan. That's what put me over the edge, so I opened the door. She turned to look at me and said, "we aren't finishedyet."

"I know, I'm coming to collect the towels so I can do laundry."

"But you're interrupting his massage."

"And you're interrupting my life. It's my house, not yours, and I need to do laundry."

"Can you not wait, I don't get what the problem is," she gave me a nasty look.

"My problem is you coming into my home where I have 2 young children, completely disregarding our existence, being rude, hitting on my fiancée in front of me and his children, and thinking you run the place. If you honestly think you are gonna fuck him again, good luck with that."

"Sidney why is she being so rude?"

"You don't need to ask him that question in your flirtatious voice, you sound stupid."

"You're such a bitch. I would never talk to you like that. But I understand you were raised without class or manners."

"Manners!? You're hitting on my fiancée! Obviously you're the one with no manners! Who does that!? Especially in front of his family?"

"Seriously Sidney-"

"Get the fuck out of my house," I pointed at the door, trying to stay quiet so the kids don't wake up.

"Seriously?"

"Did I fucking stutter? Move!"

She picked up her purse and walked towards the door of the room. She turned and yelled, "I'm really disappointed in you Sidney, you should have stuck up for me."

"Go suck a dick and drown in his jizz," I huffed.

"I did, with your fiancée," she smirked as she left.

I just turned to Sidney. He could tell I was mad and just said, "it was a long time ago. I'm sorry."

"You should be. You know I don't like her and that she's rude and you still invite her here."

"I'm sorry, I really needed it. I shouldn't have done that, and I should have stuck up for you."

"It's fine, I don't need you to stick up for me. It's my battle not yours. I just don't like how she talks to you."

"I know, and I'm sorry."

"Mommy!" Kylie screamed, obviously scared.

"I'm over it, she's not coming back here, plain and simple. I'll see you in bed, I'll take care of Kyle," I said, with tears in my eyes. I hate when my jealousy gets the best of me like this.
