I woke up early in the morning around 6 am, from what I could tell by the windows in my bedroom. Wait? Why am I in my bedroom? I thought I feel asleep with Jon on the couch! I turned to the right side of the bed to see Jon with his ruffled blonde hair. He looked so peaceful. I guess he could tell I was staring at him even though he was sleeping because he woke up with a sexy smile. Damn he's hot and those lips! Ugh, I really do want to kiss them.

"I can't believe i'm sleeping in a girly ass floral bed." He smirked. Of course the first thing out of his mouth would be sarcasm

"I can't believe you're sleeping next to a girl!" I retorted. I knew it was a great comeback and I wanted to glide out of the bed all sexy like but I forgot about my two broken legs and fell, face first, into the hard wood floor making Jon sprint to come help me. "My night in shining armor" I mumbled very embarrassed.

"What do you want for breakfast?" He triumphantly said.

"You can make breakfast?"

"I wasn't raised in a barn Liz, I had a mom and a sister so I know how to make a pancake or two. So what do you want for breakfast- pancakes or pancakes?"

"While pancakes sound very appetizing, I think i'm going to go with, hmm, pancakes!" I laughed, "I'll meet you in the kitchen I just have to brush my teeth"

I waddled into the bathroom, brushed my teeth and hair, and added a little concealer under my eyes so I didn't look so much like death. I exited the bathroom to the smell of banana pancakes.

"I hope you don't mind, I used your bananas."

"Oh, it's fine. As long as I can try them, they look and smell amazing."

Jon leaned to his right to cut a piece of a finished pancake off to feed to me from a fork. Instead of the pancake entering into my hungry mouth it fell to the floor. Before I could think, his lips were on mine and his hands were on my cheeks. And in that moment- everything felt right. My legs and wrists stopped hurting and it felt like it was only me and Jon. Well, it was actually only me and Jon, but you know what I mean. Our tongues were in a war exploring each others mouths and I never wanted this kiss to end.

Jon pulled back and smiled "How about them pancakes then?"

---

Like he said he would, Jon left at 7:15 because my apartment was 90 minutes away from the practice arena. We looked like an old married couple. After our pancakes he carried me to the couch and turned on Good Morning America for me. He also made me a peppermint tea, my favorite, and kissed me (not so rough) before leaving.

There I was at 11 am with nothing to do. It was weird having free time to relax. I was always grading papers, and if not making lesson plans. I already had sent the lesson plans to the school and they said the sub for the week would teach it. It was 11:30 when Jon barged through the door giving me a heart attack.

"Shit sorry I must of scarred you. I brought you some lunch, chicken noodle soup always helps me so I thought I would pick some up for you."

"Jon, what did you do?" I asked scarred of the answer What could he have possibly done to be kicked out?

Jon walked over with my soup and a spoon which I gladly took while he explained.

"They want me to start practicing with the devils." He said so happily

"... I thought you already were?" I said, very confused.

"Liz, not the AHL ones- the real ones! The NHL team! I could be in the NHL!"

I set my soup down and leaned across the couch to give Jon a huge bear hug.

"I'm so happy for you Jon! I knew you could do it!" His smile was electric and I couldn't stop smiling, "When do you start practicing with the big dogs?"

"Their practice doesn't start until 2 today so I can probably go today, fuck i'm nervous!"

"Don't be you will do great! You know Eric from the team right?"

"Well yeah, I know the whole team, but i'm nervous i'm gonna mess up and make a complete fool of myself in front of everyone." His smile disappeared.

"Jon, you will do amazing!" I laughed, "be confident!"

Since the prudential center was only 40 minutes away from my house, Jon could have left at like 1:15 but since he didn't want to be late he left at 12:45. Before he left he gave me another huge kiss and ran out the door.

Just like that I was alone again. I turned on the TV to Bravo to watch Americas Next Top Model and snuggled up with Kona. I had already seen that season so I knew who won, but all I was doing was praying that Jon would do good at practice. I also decided that I really liked him and wanted to be his girlfriend.
