Tyler's POV
I wake up to my phone vibrating, and shut it off before it can wake Kirsten up. I look down at her, and her eyelashes flutter. She looks beautiful sleeping, despite the fact that her mouth is slightly open, and she's drooling on my chest a little. Her body and head is leaned up against my chest, and I slide out from under her upper body. She doesn't wake up. I toss on a pair of sweatpants, and go out to the kitchen. I get a bowl and some cereal out, and go sit down on the couch. I flip the TV on, and the first thing that comes up is the Big Bang Theory. I don't regularly watch this show, but I don't mind it. I hear light footsteps, and look over to see Kirsten walking out of my room. She only has on my t-shirt, and I can tell she isn't wearing a bra. I smile at her, while I continue to admire her athletic physique, her long frame, tall stature, and muscular legs. "Good morning beautiful," I greet her.

"Hey Ty." Kirsten says smiling back at me. "How did you sleep?" She asks.

"Really really well." I answer truthfully.

"Wow. I wonder why that could have been?" She says with a smirk.

"Couldn't be because we had sex last night. Because we didn't." I say, but I think she can tell I'm joking.

"Well even though we didn't, I slept pretty well too. " She says, and sits down next to me.

"Hey! Watch the cereal!" I raise my voice slightly, but I'm still smiling at her.

"So, your shitty cereal takes priority over me?" She says lightly pushing my shoulder away. I put my cereal on the coffee table, and wrap my arms around her.

"Nope, definitely does not take priority." I pull her closer to me, and she leans into my bare chest.

"Good. I'm glad to know that I'm slightly more important than cereal." She kisses me. "Oh shit!" She shouts. "I always run with Liv! I haven't for the past week, because she hasn't been here, but I normally do! Well, I'm sure she'll understand, given the circumstances, but I haven't gone running in a while. I'm going to get out of shape."

"Woah chill." I say, "You can run tomorrow, and you are for sure not out of shape." I squeeze her thin sides. "I'm sure Olivia won't mind that much."

"I know she wont, but we run together whenever we can. But what time are we supposed to be at the rink?" She asks me.

"Nine, and we're doing off-ice training today. We have to go soon." I say, and she rolls off of me.

"Okay. Sounds good. The only problem is, the clothes I have are from yesterday, and it would look trashy as fuck walking out of here in those." She says.

"Yeah. But you have to go out sometime. And why do you insist that nobody knows about us?" I change the subject.

"Because, it looks unprofessional. For both of us. More so for me, but still." She explains.

"It may look unprofessional, but it still happened. We are still something." I take her hand.

"Oh no!" She rips her hand away, and stands up. "Just because management knows about us doesn't mean I want a real relationship . I told you, I'm not going to do that."

"Oh come on! I want you all to myself. I want people to know about us, and know that they can't have you. And that they can't hit on you, or try and make a move. I want you to be mine." I stand up and grab her hips.

"Tyler, no. You can tell whoever you want that we slept together, as long as you drop the whole relationship act. You are only kidding yourself by trying to play this thing out." She accuses me .

"It's not an act, and I don't need to 'play it out'. I'm serious. And I wont tell anyone except Jamie, because I know you aren't really okay with me telling everyone." I tell her.

"Whatever Ty. I have to go back to my apartment." She walks back into my room, and I can't help but stare at her ass. I follow her back to my room, and as I walk in she is taking off her shirt.

"Damn, don't tease me like that." I say, standing in the doorway.

"Get out Ty!" She says shooing me out.

"Kir, calm down, it's nothing I haven't seen before, or don't plan to see again." I tell her, but don't fight her pushing me out of the room. When she walks out of my room, she is wearing the same t-shirt and leggings that she had on yesterday, and she looks just as good as she did last night.

"Okay, I'm going back to my apartment now, so you have to come pick me up when you leave for practice. I'll be ready, and yeah. Bye." She says, and walks out the door before I can say goodbye. The door shuts, and I go out there after her, and run into Jamie.

"Shit! Sorry Jamie!" I exclaim, and see that he was talking to Kirsten.

"Hey Segs. Umm, anything you want to share? Because this is the second time I've caught her coming out of your room." Jamie questions.

"Well..." Kirsten starts out.

"We may have slept together." I say.

"It was only once, and before I knew I even got the job!" She exclaims.

"Woah woah, calm down." Jamie says, interrupting us. "I figured that maybe you guys were. It doesn't matter." And he turns to Kirsten, "He's had a thing for you since we met. As soon as you told me you were moving here, I knew you guys would hook up. It was inevitable."

Kirsten turns to look at me, "Seriously? You had a thing for me when I was with Brendan?"

"Yeah, but it didn't matter. At least then it didn't." I say honestly.

"Huh... I had no idea. But I'll leave you two to chat about this. I'm going to my apartment to get ready for work." She says, and then gets on the elevator.

"So... Jamie. I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, she didn't want me to. She still doesn't want me to tell anyone else." I explain.

"No man, it's alright. I get it. There's no need to explain." He says, and we get into the elevator to go to practice.

Notes

Sorry for the short chapter, and late update. I'm getting busy, and we also had a huge storm and the power went out today!
