Somebody to Love

Chapter 23

After the first game in February against the Sabres, I was still left in the guest room. The Pens had about three days to kill before heading to Montreal to play the Habs then flying to Washington to play the Caps. Marc decided to spend all those days with me; I was touched.

"How are you feeling today?" he asked early in the morning.

"Eh...okay. Better than yesterday."

I was so fucking sick of lying in this bed all day.

"What do you wanna eat?"

"Umm...blueberry pancakes sound good."

"Then, blueberry pancakes it is. You wanna add bacon and orange juice to that order?"

I laughed.

"Yes please. Thank you."

"Don't mention it. I love you." he said leaning in to kiss me.

"I love you too." I said pulling away despite me wanting the kiss to continue.

I laid back and thought about the rest of this week. It'd probably go by fast, which I wasn't really happy with. I hate being without him. Once the Olympics come, he'll be gone, representing Canada. I know I'm his girlfriend, but I gotta root for my home country. I'll be rooting for him maybe a little bit, but that's it, the only instance where my country comes before him or my job.

"What are you thinking about?" he asked carrying my plate of pancakes and my orange juice.

"Nothing." I said smiling and biting my lip.

"It's something."

"Yeah..."

"I'll get it out of ya. Let's eat first. I'll be right back."

I nodded.

He came back with a plate of his own and I still couldn't stop smiling.

"Alright. What is it?" he asked after a few bites.

"You said you were gonna wait till after we ate."

"I lied."

I rolled my eyes.

"What I was thinking about was how fast the rest of the week was gonna go, which I hate because I hate being without you. Then, I thought about the Olympic Break and how I'd be putting my country over yours despite how much I love you."

He smirked and laughed.

"That's gonna be an interesting two weeks."

"Tell me about it. My parents are gonna be here during the whole thing."

As of a couple days ago, my parents insisted on coming up and staying with me while he was gone. On the weekends, Alex and Elina plan on coming up as well. Let's just say I won't ever be lonely. After breakfast, he took our plates, but when he came back, I was groaning in pain; fucking ribs, fucking broken leg.

"Bella?" he asked worriedly.

"Could you get my meds?" I said crying.

He came back on the bed comforting me as I took them. I cried into his shoulder. I could only handle so much until I broke down.

"I hate this. It's not fair." I said through sobs.

"I know. I know. Life isn't fair." he said holding my hand and kissing my forehead.

After a few moments, I calmed the fuck down and relaxed, lying back.

"I love you." I said into his neck.

"I love you too."

"Can we watch some movies today? Some girly movies?"

He made a face.

"Please?" I asked making my own face.

"Ok. You're lucky that you're my favorite person in the whole, entire world."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

"So, what's first?"

"Something Borrowed."

And that started the several movies we watched today. By six o'clock, I had eaten dinner and was falling asleep. I was in desperate need of a nap. I was awoken from it an hour later by my phone ringing. Fuck you.

"Hello?" I asked yawning.

"Bella?"

"Hi Mom."

"Did I wake you?"

"Yeah, but it's okay. I was getting up anyway. What's up?"

"I was wondering how you were feeling today?"

"Eh, okay. Everything seems better than the day before, but I did have terrible rib and leg pain this morning."

"Oh my God. Are you okay?"

"Yeah, yeah. Marc handed me my meds and then I was fine."

"He's such a sweetie. Remind me to thank him the next time I see him."

"Don't worry. I will. Anyway, how are you and Dad?"

"Great. We can't wait to see you in a couple of weeks."

"You sure you two can handle me during the Olympics?" I asked laughing.

"Yeah. We're sure. What did you say to Marc about the Games?"

"Oh, you're gonna love this. I was thinking about the rest of the week and then those two weeks; I said I was gonna be rooting for him a little, but I'd be putting my country ahead of him for once. You know, for once, I'm gonna put my country first, unlike every day where he and my job are put first."

"What was his response?"

"He smirked and laughed before saying that it was gonna be an interesting two weeks."

I smiled and then thought about it how much I was going to missed. A few tears ran down my face.

"I don't know how you don't go crazy when you see him smile." she said laughing.

"I don't either. It's so damn infectious."

I was giggling.

"Anyway, I'll let you get back to your nap and your man..."

"Mom!" I said laughing.

"Sorry, sorry, but that's what he is."

"I know. Ok, I'll talk to you soon."

"I love you."

"I love you too. Bye."

"Bye."

I hung up and laid back, still smiling. I heard a knock on the door only a few minutes later. That must be Maddy. Before I could even call Marc, he answered it and off she was to my room.

"Maddy!!" I exclaimed raising my arms.

"Bella!!" she exclaimed doing the same thing.

She came over and we hugged.

"So, how was your day?"

"Really good, minus the one time I really needed to take my meds. I was in so much pain."

"Oh my God. Are you alright?"

"Maddy, I am. I just told you how great my day was."

"I know; I just worry."

"It's okay. He made me breakfast, I convinced him to watch girly movies with me and he cooked me dinner."

"Ooh...what did you have?"

"What he made on our first date, spaghetti."

She awwed.

"That's too cute. Was it as good as was then?"

"Believe it or not, it was even better!"

She laughed.

"Why are you laughing?"

"I don't know."

"You're a weirdo."

"Isn't that Marc's nickname?"

"One of them, yeah. It doesn't seem right to call you a weirdo."

She shook her head.

"I love you."

"I love you too. Hey, I was thinking about when he'll be gone during the break, how I'll be rooting more for us, than him. Although, I put him and my job before me every day. He got a kick out of that; he told me those two weeks were gonna be interesting."

"That's fantastic. I can't wait for those two weeks although I won't be able to see all of them."

"I'll tape the ones you can't watch."

"You are wonderful."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Around midnight, I began to drift off.

"You ready to go to sleep?" he asked walking into my room.

"Yep. I had a long, fun day. Who knew that could've happened lying in bed." I said laughing.

He smiled.

"Well, I'm ready for bed too."

He laid down beside me and kissed me on the cheek before we slowly, but surely fell asleep close to one another.
