Of all things visible, the highest is the heaven of the fixed stars - Nicolaus Copernicus

Zoe picked me up from the airport and as soon as I was in the car, I turned the radio on to the Dallas Stars game that was happening at AAC. They were just going into the second period so I hadn't missed too much.

Zoe and I chatted as she drive me to Jamie's house where I took everything out of Zoe trunk and put it into my car before going to my apartment and freshening up. I was going to surprise Jamie at the arena. He thought he was going to come right here when he was done, but I wanted to see him sooner than that.

I only spent a few minutes at my place, leaving my luggage in the hallway, and I ran to my bedroom and changed and sprayed some perfume on me before leaving again.

I parked in with the players cars since Jamie had given me a pass. I parked and got out, going quickly to the door where the security let me in without question he just nodded with a small smile.

"Are they in their dressing room?" I asked.

"Third period is just finishing," he answered, looking back to the small TV he had where was watching the game, "they're up 5-3 so I wouldn't worry about OT."

I nodded and stayed there with him as the final minutes wound down, leaving the Stars with a win against the Panthers. I clapped in excitement and waited there a little longer, since I knew they'd be announcing the stars of the game and then finally getting to the locker room. I left to go down to their room about 15 minutes later.

I was rushing down the hall ways, getting lost as usual. I wasted so much time being lost. Every time I had been down there Jessica or Abby was usually leading me. But the one time I tried, nope! Got fucking lost.

Finally I saw a couple of the players leaving and they pointed me to the locker room, but not before they promised not to tell Jamie I was here.

I ran down the hall and saw Jordie and Jessica coming up the hall, I smiled and laughed at their surprised expressions.

"Hey!" I said when I got to them.

"I didn't think you were gonna be here"! Jessica said with a smile as she hugged me.

"I know," I smiled, "I lied and said I would just stay home and wait for him to come over when the game was done. But I missed him and wanted to see him."

"Well aren't you just fucking adorable," Jordie said as he hugged me too.

I laughed as we broke apart, "I am, thank-you!" I said as he laughed, "And congrats on the goal, buddy!"

He smiled and nodded, "Thank-you!"

"Was he almost done in there?" I asked.

He nodded, "Yeah, yeah. Go over and wait, eh? He'll be out in a minute."

I smiled, "I'll see you guys later," I said as they smiled back at me, before I went around them and started walking down the hall towards their locker room.

Patrick had just come out and was saying hi to Abby when they spotted me. Patrick was about to say something but I put a finger to my lips and pointed at the locker room door, he looked behind him and back to me then nodded, "Any second," he mouthed.

I nodded and sped up my walked just as Tyler, Cody, Demers and Spezza walked out all smiling. Patrick motioned to me and they all looked. Tyler lit up and pointed to behind him, then put a hand up for me to stop. I stopped and waited with a smile. The door opened back up and Rous walked out laughing with Jamie next to him. Tyler smacked Jamie gently on the chest and pointed over towards me. Jamie's line of vision followed Tyler's hand and then his gaze landed on me.

HIs face broke out into a huge smile, as did mine. He dropped his bag just as I dropped my purse and we both walked quickly to each other. He grabbed me and picked me up as I held onto his shoulders. All I could do was laugh as I held onto him tightly.

"I missed you," he kept saying over and over again.

"I missed you," I told him.

He put me down and we stared at each other with big dopey smiles on our faces.

"Did I surprise you?" I asked him.

He laughed, "You did!"

I laughed, unable to contain any bit of my happiness, "Good! That was the plan!"

He smile grew just before he leaned down to kiss me. I kissed him back more than eagerly. God, I had missed everything about him. The way his arms felt, his lips, his voice, just everything.

I pulled away and smiled up at him, "Great game, Jamie! I was listening and I watched the last little bit of it!"

"Thanks," he smiled, "If I had known you were watching, I woulda tried a bit harder."

I laughed and shook my head, "You did amazing," I told him.

"Well hello to you too, Josie!" I heard Tyler say.

I laughed and let go of Jamie, and walked over to Tyler quickly, "Hey!" I said hugging him, I pulled away and looked at the others as well and smiled, "Hey, everyone!"

The group of us talked only for a few minutes before Jamie announced that we should go. I looked at him and laughed, shaking my head.

"He missed you!" Abby said with a sweet smile, "He wants to spend some alone time together!"

I crossed my arms and smiled, "I missed him too," I said, looking at her, "So I guess I'll see you guys in a couple days for New Year's!"

The group cheered a little in response making me laugh. Jamie and I said our goodbyes before heading to our separate cars, where I would be meeting Jamie at his place.

The short was short and quiet, since I wasn't with him unfortunately. We parked and I got out of my car, locking it as I went and began chattering away about my flight as I followed him into the house, I closed and locked the door behind me and slid off my boots.

"There was so much turbulence, it was insane!" I said, turning to face him, as I dropped my purse on the ground.

I looked at him and saw that he was watching me. His lips were parted and he was watching me intently with dark eyes.

"Jamie?" I asked.

"I missed you so much," he told me quietly.

I smiled up at him and took a step forwards towards him, "I missed you too."

He walked quickly to me and wrapped his arms around me waist and held me tightly to him, my arms went up to his neck and held onto him, feeling like I really never wanted to let go of him.

And it was killing me a little bit not to tell him then and there about my feelings for him. There was nothing stopping me from doing it, but I thought it would make New Year's even that more special for us.

He pulled away from me and leaned down to kiss me intensely. There wasn't anything sweet or gentle about it, this was passion. He pushed me up against the door and slipped his tongue into my mouth. I moaned at the contact and pulled the hair at the nape of his neck, he lifted my legs up and I wrapped myself around his waist.

I would never deny how excited I felt wrapped up in him, I felt even more excited when I felt him grow excited under me.

"God, I want you so badly, Josie," he breathed, pulled away from my lips to kiss and suck on my neck.

I bit my lip as his lips and teeth began working on my skin, "You don't know how hard it is for me to say no to you, Jamie."

"So don't say no," he mumbled, lifting my shirt so his hands could rest on my hips squeezing them tightly.

I laid my head down so my forehead could rest on his shoulder as I got my breathing in check, "Jamie," I said, "you know what it is," I said slowly.

He sighed and placed a few more kisses on my neck, but he kept a firm hold of my legs around him, "I know," he said moving away from my neck, causing me to look at him. His lips looked swollen and red, and I could only imagine that mine looked the same.

"I'm sorry," I whispered.

He sent me a small smile and kissed me gently, "You're more than worth the wait to me, Josie."

I hugged him tightly to me and rested my head in the crook of his neck.

"God I missed you, JoJo," he said emotionally.

I smiled and placed a quick kiss on his neck, "I missed you more, Benny."
