I woke up to the sound of my phone going off, I decided to ignore it and go back to sleep. Another ring went off, jeez. I turned my screen on and I was blinded by the brightness.
-hey where did u run off to last night?
-anyways... I have a favour to ask of you. Would you be able to cover my shifts this weekend, i have a family thing. Pls it would mean so much
I recieved a message from one of my coworkers, Camilla. Did I really want to work this weekend? Uggh but she covered me whenever I have hangovers, so I owe her.

-yea ill take them

I responded and she replied with a thanks and gave me the hours. 8-4:30 today and 3:30-11 tomorrow. I looked at my phone and noticed it was 7:30. I had less than an hour tonget ready. I quickly took a shower and drove off to work. On the way there I made sure to let them know I was taking Camillas shift. It was an early shift so it wasnt going to be busy, so I brought my books to read and study incase I had any downtime. I looked over at my passenger seat and noticed the envelope that had the tickets that Tyler had given me last night. Crap, I completely forgot about them, I was going to miss the game tomorrow. There was no way of me telling him that I couldnt make it, ughh this was going to be a long weekend.

As soon as I got home from work I flopped down on my bed. I was exhausted and I still had a buttload of homework to do. I instantly sprang up when I remember the tickets, I had go get rid of them somehow. I took them out of my purse, snapped a picture of them and added it to my story, under the caption "anybody want these???". I set my phone down and decided to take a nap and call it a day.

-------------At Sundays Game------------
Tylers POV
During warmups I did more than a couple laps around to rink to see her. I looked around and she was nowhere to be found. The tickets I had given her were for seats that were right behind our (The Dallas Stars) bench. I finally decided to look around directly at where she wa supposed to be. There were other fans there who waved, and I politely smiled and waved back. I looked around the arena to see if she was anywhere, it wasnt packed so I could definitely make her out of the crowd. I looked around once more for this...'V'... What did that stand for anyway? Incredibld..I didnt even know her name. I looked back at her seats once more to ser that two guys had taken her spot, and they were wearing Flames jerseys, douchebags. It finally hit me that she wasnt going to come, she blew me off. My head hung low as I skated on more lap. And then I decided to head out to the locker room, bummed out.

-------2 weeks later-------
Vanessa's POV
I burried my head into his shoulder as he thrusted himself into me, harder and deeper. I moved my hands down to his back and he continued my nails dug deep. I let out soft moans and wrapped my legs around his waist and threw my head back as I finally went over the edge. He finally pulled out and his breathing was shallow. I took in a deep breath and exhaled, as he put on a pair of boxers.

"Great study sesh hmm?" Sean asked. I sat up and playfully slapped his chest. I reached over and put on one of his lacrosse shirts. I stood up and reached for my panties. "You know, most of the girls that have sex usually end up talking relationships and the future, but your different...youre kinda cool with it, you just get the job done". I smacked the waist band of my underwear on my waist.

"And what exactly is that supposed to mean?" I snapped.

"It means, I want future and relationship.." Sean wrapped his arm on my waist and pulled me in closer and began to kiss my hips. I sat down next to him and he cupped my neck and began to suck on it. "With you Vanessa Chandler.." He murmured. "forever and always..." He began to move closer to my face "..to love and to hold..." And finally he placed a kidd on my lips. I grabed his arm and moved if. I shifted away a little bit and looked at him seriously, and then I bust into laughter, he could not be serious. He dropped his head and looked down ashamed of what he had just said. I stopped laughing, but instill had a big grin on my face. I began to run circles in his back in order to comfort him.

"Youre actually a coldhearted bitch.." He muttered. I rolled my eyes.

"Come on we gotta get this studying done" I stood up and made my way to his kitchen where I poured myself a glass of orange juice. I had a 91.3% average in school, honour roll and I was helping Sean with Pre-Calculus.

"Are you coming out or?" I shouted. Sean came out of his room in sweats. I grinned at what he had earlier about "relationships" and shit. I handed him a glass of orange juice and made my way over to his living room floor where our work was plastered.

On my way home from the study sesh I thought about what he said about me being 'coldhearted', I was not coldhearted, what an ass. I decided to stop at starbucks and pick something uo. As I walked I locked eyes with Tyler...again. What the hell was he doing here, again!? Oh crap he must hate me for not showing up for our 'date'. We stood there and looked at eachothers eyes, hard and deep. Tyler was leaning against the open door and I was barely inside starbucks.

"Excuse me, could you please shut the door, it really cold out there" a lady demanded, breaking our little 'staring contest'. Tyler shut the door and remained inside the starbucks and blinked at me and clenched his jaw, I smirked and turned towards the barista. I slowly shifted forwards and then turned around to see Tyler standing there.


"You know, you could have just said no" Tyler hissed. I looked around the starbucks to see if anyone else had heard what he said.

"Look, Im sorry I couldnt make it," I paused. "Something came u-"

"You stood me up" he stated. Not even giving me a chance to explain myself. I let out a sigh, this was such a waste of time.

"I didnt mean to, how can I make it up to you?" I grinned, I knew he wanted me, why else would he freak out. The corners of his mouth rose up and he smiled.

"Well... My birthday IS this Saturday..." He grinned at me. I looked at him, what did he want me to say?

"Oh!" I said as I removed my gloves and sat down, he did the same. "Did you want anything in particular"

"yeah, you...to be there" he said. I laughed. He placed his fingers over mine and began to play with them. "Youre going to wear something tight and short for me and then Im going to have to rip it offof you by the end of the night" he whispered in my ear. I could not help but giggle. He looked down at his phone and sprang up, "Gotta go, Im running late, but ser you Saturday?"

"I dont even know where it is!" I laughed.

"Whats your number?" he asked and I gave it to him. "I'll be texting you soon" he said and he walked out. I slumped down into my chair and smiled at the ceiling. Yes!
