Ride (Reposted)

Present Day

Jamie reached out over the bed to pull Emily back against him, he could smell her minty shampoo and conditioner but she wasn't in the bed.

Begrudgingly he opened his eyes to find that the curtain was opened slightly and he could see a Starbucks cup and newspaper sitting on the table outside. The clock read 8:00 AM. The sun outside showed it too.

Groaning as he pulled himself out of bed he pulled his sweats out of the top of his suitcase and threw a t-shirt on as well.

Shivering as he stepped out into the cool New York morning he found her in a forward bend yoga pose. She was so flexible, he loved watching her do her morning yoga. He felt his morning wood become a full erection instantly.

Sitting in one of the chairs he picked up her Starbucks cup hoping to find some coffee left but sadly there wasn't. Just as he was about to get comfortable to watch her he felt her slide onto his lap, not even fully awake.

"Enjoy the view?" She asked as she planted a kiss on his lips.

"Mmm, you can go back to that." He murmured against her lips.

She giggled as she pulled away and rested her head on his shoulder; "I was finished anyways. How'd you sleep?"

"Amazing. I think we need that bed for the house." He pressed his lips to her forehead, wrapping his arms around her.

"Yeah? I can't wait to move in."

"You've done an amazing job so far with the remodel. What time have you been up since." He yawned.

"Oh just 6:30, I enjoyed a morning coffee, read the paper and let you sleep."

"Just 6:30. You can sleep in on days you are off you know."

"That is sleeping in." She mused, drawing hearts on his chest with a finger.

He sighed. "Sleeping in till like 9 or 10, we never get to do that any more."

"It's cause I work an 8:30-5 and when you have morning skates I get up anyways." He felt her move her hand down, finding him hard. "Wanna go back to bed?"

"I'd love to. It's cold out here." He wrapped his arms tighter around her, not to warm her up, but keep him warmer.

"You're just sensitive. It's beautiful out. It'll be a beautiful day." She turned her face towards the sun.

"No it's cold. And then it'll get humid." He whined.

"C'mon my little whiner, let's go to bed, I'll warm you up." She got up off of his leg, pulling on his arm.

"Only if it's in my favourite way." He threw her up over his shoulder, making her shriek into laughter and taking her back into the hotel room.

"What did you want to do this afternoon?" He asked her, drawing a long finger up and down her abdomen.

She bit her lip as he ran his thumb over her hard nipple, "Hmm I don't know. Maybe practice making babies more?"

"As much as I'd love to make love to you all day long, we are in New York City. I booked a helicopter tour anyways.."

"I'd like that. I haven't been on a helicopter in ages." She giggled as he tickled her side.

"But a helicopter in New York City?"

"Never. I was never on a private plane till I met you either though."

"Good. Now let's get showered and dressed and go."

"So demanding. Do you know what helicopter tour we're taking?"

"Liberty. I booked us a private one at 2:00. Off of Pier 6." He leaned over and kissed her.

"Okay. You go ahead, I just need to write an email quickly."

"You better join me."

"I will don't worry." She grinned as she rolled out of bed to get her Blackberry.

He breezed passed her, giving her a light slap on her ass, "Good, if you're not in there in five minutes I'll come out and get you myself."

"Ouch. I will." She groaned.

She watched his bare ass go into the bathroom as she shook her head. Replacing her Blackberry for her iPhone she sent Jordie a quick text to tell them to be at the Liberty Helicopter tours helipad for 2:00. And one to Jess for good measure.

Walking out of the pedestrian tunnel under the FDR they came out not far from Pier Six, her eyes scanning the sidewalks for Jess and Jordie. She knew they were already there. Jordie was always one to be on time or early for things, whereas Jamie was the one that was always showing up a little late or just in the nick of time.

That's where she had to kick his ass into gear about things. The only thing he was on time or early for was if it was a game or she held sex over his head. Unless they were both drinking, and then they were both late and nothing saved them from that.

She saw Jordie before Jamie did, the beard gave him away.

"Is that Darth?" Jamie asked, squeezing her hand.

"I would hope you knew you're own brother when you saw him." She grinned up at him.

"You knew he was in town?"

"I know everything. Jess texted me saying that they were going to be in New York for vacation and that's when I said let's not tell Jamie and surprise him. So surprise!" She giggled, seeing the delight on his face.

"I knew you were up to something when you wouldn't put you're phone down after dinner last night." He pulled her in to kiss her forehead.

"What can I say. I'm a woman of all devious trades."

Jamie shook his head with a grin as they joined his brother and girlfriend. Emily adored Jess. They were together almost a year and Jamie and Emily had set them up.

"He's so excited to be here with his brother." Emily laughed as they were a few paces ahead of the boys.

Jess linked arms with her. "They both are. Do you hear them giggling like a couple of school girls?"

"Does Jordie know about the Yankees game tomorrow night?"

"I don't think so. I haven't mentioned anything to him. You know I'm going to essentially be third wheeling while you're at work right?"

"If I could take you with me Jess I would. Book yourself a day at the spa this week. Treat yourself. We should surprise them with the Yankees game at dinner."

"We should! They'll be like kids on Christmas."

Emily threw her head back and laughed. "Only our men. If they weren't brothers they'd probably be just like us, linked arm in arm."

"Only if Tyler was here. Ali saw him over the summer you know."

"Oh I had a feeling. When I was visiting my parents in August I asked if she wanted to come out to The County for a wine tour while she was in Toronto but she was 'preoccupied'. And then loud mouth back there spilled the beans after."

Jess shook her head, "And we're bad for gossip."

"You two do nothing but gossip." Jordie snorted.


"No we don't. We talk about important life things too." Emily shot back.

"For someone with a McGill education, you could be a little bit more articulate."

"Fuck you Darth. After my third concussion it just kinda went all down hill. Works a different story."

"Is that why you stopped playing rugby?" Jess asked her.

"Nope. Cause Dallas has shit rugby teams. I might join a rec soccer league next summer though. Or an indoor team over the winter."

Jess smiled; "I'll do it with you. I miss soccer."

"Not as fun as rugby."

"But a whole lot safer." Jamie noted, coming up and wrapped his arm around Emily's shoulder.

"Yeah yeah. Coming from someone who chases a frozen piece of rubber around on skates." Emily laughed, pinching his hip.

They checked into the touring company, signed waivers and went over safety procautions. Not that Emily paid attention, she grew up on aircrafts and new how these helicopters worked, hell she could probably fly it if she wanted too.

Jess and Jordie sat in front as Emily and Jamie sat in the back, Jamie's hand instinctively going to her thigh once they had their headsets on. Jess has her phone out instantly to take selfies, some how managing to get the four of them in one shot. Emily followed suit by pulling her phone out of her purse, getting a few cute and silly shots of her and Jamie as he gave her a kiss on the forehead they came around the tip of Manhattan over the financial district.

After the end of their tour they decided to walk around the city, exploring some sights, taking in Ground Zero and wandering over to the ferry that would take them to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, only getting off at the Statue of Liberty and walking around for a bit, being typical tourists.



Deciding on food they settled in a small pub in Greenwich Village, ordering finger foods and having a few pints.

"Should we tell them Jess?" Emily asked after a swig of Sam Adams.

Jamie cocked an eyebrow: "tell us what?"

"Yankees Red Sox game tomorrow night. Emily's colleague's fiancé is letting us use their season tickets behind the dugout." Jess grinned.

"No way. We looked for tickets and we couldn't get anything!" Jordie was dumbfounded.

Emily shrugged, "Colton, Reese's fiancé is a Wall Street guy, he's got his connections which lead to his season tickets."

Jordie smiled. "That's awesome. If I could squee like a little girl and it be socially acceptable in public I would."

"Do it Darth, you know you wanna." Jamie grinned.

Jordie threw a carrot at Jamie as they bickered over their supper, spending a few hours mulling over their food and drinks before taking a cab back to the hotel, Jordie and Jess staying just a floor down from them.

"Have I told you how much I love you?" Jamie asked her as he sat on the bed and kicked his shoes off.

Emily laughed, "How much Jamie?"

"Thissss much." He extended his arms out all the way with a big grin on his face.

"Ohh reallllyyyy?" She smiled, climbing onto his lap and straddled him.

"Really!" The beer he had consumed earlier had clearly taken an effect on him.

"Did you have a good day?"

"Such a good day. Besides for all that walking, which I actually didn't mind."

"You're crazy, Jamie Benn."

He let out one of his I'm drunk giggles before kissing her. Which led to them ending the day how they started, naked, sweaty from making love and in bed
