Permanent Possession

* Sarah's POV*

Sidney and I have been seeing each other for two weeks now, and I've been happier than I have in quite some time.

We've gone to dinner a few times and it's been amazing. Getting to spend time with Sidney outside of hockey.

Sidney's house is three blocks away from mine and it's nice because we've began running with each other so he'll jog over and meet me or vice versa.

Sidney has a home game tonight but sadly I'm stuck at home doing work. My business has began to grow and I've decided it's time to create a Facebook page for my business.

I have the game on in the background and I'm looking through the thousands of pictures I have trying to decide which ones I want to use. Yeah easier said than done.

" Crosby has the puck. He's headed up the ice, Kunitz not far behind. Crosby's looking to start a late period rush for the Penguins who are trailing the Kings 4-2 with five minutes left in the third.
Crosby drops the puck back for Kunitz.
He takes the shot.
IT'S IN!
Kunitz just absolutely unloaded on that shot and went top shelf on Jonathan Quick.
Amazing play by Sidney Crosby, to open it up for Kunitz with four minutes and fifteen seconds left in the game.
And it's Chris Kunitz from Sidney Crosby, at fifteen forty five in the third period, on the penalty kill."

I went running in to the living room just in time to see the replay, ' great play babe' I thought when I saw Sidneys play to set up Kuni.

I turned around and headed back to my computer to continue working on my page.

The Penguins ended up losing 5-3, the Kings got an empty netter with under a minute left.

I was standing in my kitchen making a cup of tea, having finally finished my Facebook page, when my phone started going off indicating I had a text.

Sidney: Can I come over?
Myself: Of course, the doors open.

About an hour and a half later I see headlights shine through my curtains.

I get up and walk over to the door opening it just as Sidney starts climbing the front steps, in sweats and a hoodie.

" Hi" he says, I can hear the exhaustion in his voice.

" Hey, come on in."

Sidney walks in a closes the door, then walks right in to my arms holding me tight.

" Let's go upstairs." I say running my hand sup and down his back. Sidney just nods and grabs my hand before heading for the stairs.

I grab a pair of shorts and my old University of Pittsburgh Athletic Department shirt and quickly go to the bathroom to change and remove my contacts.

When I come back out from the bathroom, Sidney is sound asleep in my bed. I just stand there and stare at him for a moment. I'm not staring at Sidney Crosby, Canada's golden boy and face of hockey, I'm staring at Sidney the 26 year old from Nova Scotia who's slowly stealing my heart.

I quietly crawl in to bed trying not to disturb Sidney's sleep, it didn't work.

" I'm sorry." he says, eyes still closed.

" For what? Falling asleep? Don't be you're exhausted."

" No, for letting you down tonight."

" Sidney Crosby, you did not let me down! It's not your fault, everyone has a bad game."

" I just don't like losing when I know you're watching, I want to be and play my best for you."

" Sidney, you could lose every game and be a negative 10 and my feelings and thoughts of you wouldn't change."

I cuddle up to Sidney and he soon drifts back to sleep hugging me close.

I begin running my hands through his hair and drift off to sleep myself, in the arms of the man I'm falling hopelessly in love with.
