Unexpected

I wake up at nine o'clock pretty, how should i say this, satisfied. All that's on my mind is how amazing last night was. I turn over and see Sid's not there. What the fuck? He just humped and dumped me? I know we're not dating but what the fuck, you don't just hook up with someone and leave the next day with no explanation. I'm not letting this happen again. I grab my bra, underwear—I know gross — I want to find him before I take a shower and a big tee. I check the bathroom. Not there. I'm about to start crying until I get out of my room. There Sid is, in my kitchen cooking me breakfast. I break down. He looks up and says good-morning but seeing my face he puts down the mixing spoon, making pancakes I think and rushes to me.

" What happened? Are you ok? Why are you crying?" Sid asks all these questions sounding genuinely concerned. In between sniffles I answer him.

" I thought you left." I snivel.

" No! Why would you think I would do that?" He reaches for my face in both hands. Sid lift my face to look at him. His eyes are sad and begging for answers.

" It's happened to me before... Twice. Once with a guy who I started "dating" and my ex. Last year he dumps me like that for some other girl."

" Oh my God. I'm not a douchebag." Sid whispers as he kisses my forehead.

" I know, but you never know. Neither were they until they left." I hide my face from him again. I can't take this, this is why I don't let people in.

" Hey," he says while tilting my head up. " I wouldn't do that to you, Sera. I'm falling for you. Hard. If I didn't want you I would've left you alone a month ago."

" I guess. You're making me breakfast?"

" Yes I was gonna bring it to you in bed, you looked so, uhm, happy so I thought I'd let you sleep and the bring breakfast."

"Wow, no one has ever done that for me."

" No one? You're bluffing. Not even when you were sick?" Sid asks.

" No. I'm honest. I'll make coffee, come on." I say pulling him into the kitchen which is a lost cause since pulling him is like trying to pull a truck.

" You're sure you're good?" He cocks an eyebrow in disbelief.

" Yes, thanks so much." he kisses me, soft and sweet on the lips.

" Good, let's go eat." Sid says kissing me again.

"Yay!" I say skipping to the kitchen with him walking behind me. I feed the pets, make coffee then go water the plants. Then I set the little breakfast nook by the window looking down at the people of Greenwich. Sid brings our pancakes to the table. I take a bite and it's like an orgasm in my mouth.

“Oh my God! These are amazing! You can cook?" I ask. He chuckles, "Yeah I guess. When you come into the league, they teach you stuff on how to survive on your own since we're all pretty young. Well the Penguins staff did at least."

"These are amazing." I say shoveling more food into my mouth. I've never been so hungry after sex but I'm not complaining.

"So you never told me what happened you and your ex. If you don't mind me asking" he says. I was trying to avoid talking about this but he's a sweetheart so I'll talk.

"Well, we met in our last year of school at NYU through group projects. We hit it off so we started hanging out then he asked me to be his girlfriend. I said yes of course and we started dating. The relationship went really well in the beginning. Towards the end, he started not paying attention to me and becoming distant. He was out late and had an excuse every time he didn't do or want to do something. My female intuition told me something was up. So I asked him if he was seeing anyone and he, of course, denied it. We well did what you and I did last night after the confrontation. The next morning I wake up and he's not there. All his stuff is gone there's no note or anything saying why he left. I called his cell and some valley girl sounding bitch picked up and had the balls to tell me never to call again. I cussed her out." Sid starts laughing.

"What? She's a dumb too. So what if it was trashy behavior of me. I was pissed and wasn't about to let her intimidate me."

"I didn't say anything! That was all you. Damn you don't kid around."

"Not when people hurt me. Anyway, here I am a year and a half later, still upset over some prick. I haven't seen those idiots around lately so it's all good. I just don't want to get hurt again. That's why I cried when you weren't there." My eyes start to prickle. I try to hide my face and stop the tears but the fall.

"Oh Seraphina, don't cry. Come here" Sid asks with his arms open. I walk over to him and sit on his lap with his strong arms holding me and my head rested on his shoulder.

“I’m sorry that happened. That dick didn't know what he had. You shouldn't cry, aren't you happier?" he asks.

"Now that I'm with you..." I mumble. He turns his head to face me. He doesn't say anything for awhile, just looking at me. I lean in and kiss him, again and again. Then all of a sudden my door busts open.

"Sera, we're- oh. I'm sorry. Am I interrupting something?" Morgan asks when she sees me and Sid.

"No. No you're not. Hi Morgan what's up?" Sid says with heavy sarcasm. Trying not to laugh at the slightly irritated look on his face I turn to face Morgan.

“What's up Morgan?" I place my hands behind my back to resist the urge to touch Sidney.

"We are going on a double date!" Morgan exclaims. Her face is full of excitement.

"We?!" Sid and I exclaim. We just slept together last night, I don't think we're at that level yet. Plus we haven't established an actual relationship. Aren't double dates for people who are dating?

"Yup! You, me, Sid and Jon!"

"When? Who's idea was this?" Sid asks. His face is horrified.

"Mine! Sera you up for it?" I turn and look at Sid and he whispers, "Do we have to go? Maybe I just want to spend time with you. Alone."

"Oh bullshit. It'll be fun. She and I have wanted to do this since high school. Please?"

Sid sighs. " Ok fine! To please the woman we can go. Where are we going? Please not anywhere weird."

" I don't know yet. I think the men should find a place." Morgan says.

"Alright fine," reluctantly agrees. " I'll go get changed and text Tazer and see what he has in mind."

"You're not going to wear the same clothes out now are you?!" I ask. I don't want people to know that he slept over, but they probably already know since they can hear what goes on.

" No. I had a friend bring me a change of clothes. Thank God for Jack."

"Jack is here?! Why didn't you tell me?" Jack Johnson. He's one of Sid's close friends from school. They got drafted together too. Though they don't play each other often, apparently they text all the time.

"He's here visiting, getting laid. Didn't want to bother him" he says.

"Oh. Interesting." I say. When he goes to change Morgan has the stupidest grin on her face right now.

"What? What?!" I ask. I hate when she looks at me like that. Always trying to pry information out of me.

" You two had sex didn't you?" Her face is so smug. I want to hide or punch her I haven't decided yet.

" I have no idea what you are talking about." I answer and turn to the table to remove plates. Shit she's gonna make fun of me like I did when she and Jonny first hooked up.

" Yes you did! How was it. Did you scream his name?! What he do. Did you have an orgasm?! Tell me!" She whines shaking me by my shoulders.

"Oh my gosh, shut up!" I cry out laughing and whisper yell at her. I cover the plates with saran wrap and put them in the fridge for later. These are too good to be wasted.

"Dude he's in the other room. I'll tell you later. After he leaves. How was your night at Jon's?"

" It was amazing. He did this thing- " She starts to go into detail and as much as I love her, I don't want to learn about her sex life.

" I don't want to know. I don't need to be scarred for life." Sid comes out in dark wash jeans, sneakers and a white v neck shirt that shows off his toned chest.

"Wow. Look who looks hot." I say going over to kiss him.

" Thanks but I think girls in nothing but their underwear and a big shirt is hot." He says while kissing my neck. I giggle, " You should get going. I'll see you later. Bye Sid."

"See ya. I'll text you two where we're all going." He says as he leaves. " Let me get changed and we can go shopping." I tell Morgan while I go to my room.

"Hurry up! We have to get you cute for the date." She says.
