SC - I Do [ch 2]

It was a gorgeous fall day in Cleveland when we all gathered for Sidney and Natale's wedding. We met at her house in Lakewood right on the outskirts of the city. The groomsmen and Sidney waited outside for the limo to arrive. We were having the ceremony in Natale's church. The groomsmen were Gino, Max, Kris, and myself.
"Who is ready to party?!" Max asked. He was definitely the partier.
"Didn't you party enough at the bachelor party last night!?" I asked. That shut him up. Hmmm... Did something happen that wasn't suppose to happen? I am not sure I left the party early because I had a headache. And wanted to be rested for today. I know Lys had a good time, she was a bit hungover this morning. She just took a couple of tylenol and drank some water. I saw Lys and Alex walk outside in their pastel pink bridesmaids dresses. Lys had her fancy camera in hand.
"Hey boys! Get together to please, I want a picture!" I shook my head. Lys the photographer. "Come on Jordan!!!" I stood with the boys under the tall oak tree. She snapped a few pictures. "Okay 1,2,3 JUMP!" We just stared at her and only Max jumped. "Aw come on! Try again! 1,2,3 JUMP!" This time we all jumped.
"That was so cool." exclaimed Alex looking at the picture. Lys nodded in agreement and made her way over to me. I gave her a kiss. "The limo should be here shortly." As soon as Alex stated that we saw the vehicle driving down the street. "Or it is here." We all laughed. And started to walk to the sidewalk stopping right before the tree lawn.
"See you at the church!" Lys exclaimed. Her and Alex waved goodbye to us.
"So what all happened last night after I left?" I asked no one in particular. I saw Max's eyes dart to Sidney's.
"Nothing much, we just drank a bit more before we turned it in." Sidney replied. Okay something definitely happened! Max is hiding something. I just get this weird vibe from him. But I am not going to press him. This is Sidney's day! We approached the church to see some guests had already arrived. I immediately started helping people to their seats.
"Bride or Groom?" I asked them. I offered the women my arm and walked them down the aisle. "Hey Flower!" I shook his hand then turned to his girlfriend Janelle and gave her a hug. "How are you guys?" I asked them.
"We are well thank you!" Janelle smiled.
"Great to hear." I offered her my arm and led them down the aisle and the groom side of church. "Enjoy yourselves. See you at the reception." I retreated back to the main hall and saw more of the team. "Hey guys! Glad you all could make it!" There was Kris and his girlfriend Lexi, Tyler with his girl Anna, Ben Lovejoy with his wife, Craig Adams and his family, James Neal with his date Ashley, and many more people! It was great that the whole team came out to support his wedding! I even spotted the Lemieux family in the crowd. Thank goodness Sidney hired one reporter to cover his wedding. He doesn't like the limelight but he figured it would be better this way than having a bunch of people trying to get glimpses and in return ruin the wedding. It would break his heart if Natale didn't have her perfect day. I saw Sidney escort his grandmothers down the aisle then took his place in front of the altar. Troy and Trina followed behind their son. Then Max escorted Mrs. Neubert down the aisle. I turned and saw all the girls in narthex. The bridesmaids included Lys, Alex, Sidney's sister Taylor and Natale's sister Clare as maid of honor. All the girls looked radiant in their short sleeveless pastel pink dresses. We then got in line to walk down the aisle. I was paired with Lys, the newlyweds were together, Kris and Taylor were together and finally Clare would be escorted by Max. Soft music started to play and we started our down the aisle.
The ceremony was your traditional catholic ceremony. Everything turned out smoothly. We took some pictures inside the church with the bridal party and families. Now, we were sitting in the limo on our way to the reception.
"I don't understand why you have to take communion! It's a wedding for pete sakes!" Lys commented. Most the people rolled their eyes and ignored her comment expect Max.
"I don't get it either Lys." she just nodded in agreement.
"Hey guys we are going to get a few more photos when we reach the docks." Natale informed us. Her reception was to going to be on a boat on lake Erie. When we arrived the photographer was already waiting for us! We took some photos in front of the ship, Nautica Queen. Then we took some pictures with the Cleveland skyline behind us. Once we boarded the ship we waited outside the dining hall for our names to be announced.
"Alex Malkin escorted by her husband Evgeni Malkin." the crowd cheered for the them. "Alyssa Trunzo escorted by her fiancé Jordan Staal" We were greeted with cheers upon entering the room. "Next we have Taylor Crosby escorted by Kris Letang." They were applauded as well. "Finally we have the maid honor Clare Neubert escorted by the best man Max Talbot" Max and Clare bounced in the area with smiling faces. "Now the moment you all have been waiting, I am proud to introduced...Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Crosby!" everyone cheered and whistled for the newlyweds. They then took their place on the dance floor and Norah Jones voice flooded the speakers!
"Come away with me in the night/Come away with me/And I will write you a song..." while the couple danced we retreated to the head table to take our places. After that the newlyweds went to cut the cake. Then joined us and the toasts began.
"I was really honored when Sidney asked me to be his best man. We have had some great times throughout the years. You gave me support when I decided to leave Pittsburgh. You were there for me when I had one too many drinks at Mario's or when I had stupid prank ideas. I am so grateful to be here for you as your best man. You and Natale make a great couple. I couldn't be happier for you! I wish you all the best! Let 's raise our glasses to Natale and Sidney!" We raised our champagne glasses and took a sip. Next up was Clare.
"Big sister I couldn't be more honored to be at your side on your wedding day. We have been through our fair share of sisterly fights and annoyed each other to no end but we will always be there for each other. I knew from the moment you brought Sidney home for thanksgiving dinner three years ago that one day he would be my brother-in-law. I couldn't be more thrilled for your wonderful future together. Congratulations!" She raised her glass as did everyone else and took one more sip of champagne. Just then Mr. Neubert stood up.
"I can't believe my girl is all grown up. I wouldn't have given you away if were any other man. Take care of her or else!" We all laughed. "Thank you all for joining us for this special occasion. We hope that you enjoy the food, the music and company. Now for the blessing." then the priest from the ceremony blessed the food we were about to receive. The waiters brought out our salads first then the entrees and cake for dessert. I noticed Lys get up when her cake was set down. I know she doesn't like it but I wondered where she was going so I followed.
"Hey where ya headed?" I asked when I caught up to her.
"The cookie table." she smirked. I continued to follow her. There was all kind of goodies on the table! Lots of Italian desserts. She loaded up her plate and headed back to the table. When we returned Nat and Sid were getting up to go meet and greet with the guests. Just then fun. "We are Young" started to play.
"Oh I love Nat for playing this song! Let's dance!" Lys dragged my arm onto the dance floor. "I know I gave it to you months ago/I know you're trying to forget/but between the drinks and subtle things/the holes in my apology, you know/ I'm trying hard to it back!" Lys sang very loud and off key. Soon Max joined her in singing. Why don't I know this song? As the song ended more up beat tunes started and more people joined us. "I need a drink."
"Me too." Lys hesitated but she let him follow. I ventured back to the head table to rest for a bit because if I know Lys- and I do- she is going to dance the night away. I glanced over to the bar and noticed that Lys and Max were having some words. Lys didn't look too happy. I started to get up and go over to her but they started to come back to the dance floor. I quickly resumed my dancing position acting like I didn't see anything. Lys kissed me. We danced to a few more but then were cleared off the dance floor for the father daughter dance. Natale chose Daughters by John Mayer. Tears were both present in their eyes as they danced. Then the announcer called Sidney and Trina onto the floor. The Perfect Fan by The Backstreet Boys came out of the speakers. Trina had tears streaming down her face as Sidney swept them across the dance floor.
"Hey what song were you thinking of dancing with your mommy?" Lys asked me.
"I really haven't given it much thought." I shrugged. "What about you?"
"Yes." of course she has! "I was thinking Brown-eyed Girl or Stealing Cinderella." she replied. But I didn't have a chance to reply because the mother son dance ended and dancing music was blasting through the speakers. "I am grabbing another drink. Meet you on the dance floor." she smirked at me before heading to the bar. I wasn't in the mood to drink a lot tonight. I'll grab a beer soon. I noticed Max was at the bar when she arrived. What has gotten into them two? But my thoughts were interrupted when Tom Brady and his wife Giselle danced passed me.
"Hey Jordan!" he greeted me and we shook hands.
"Hey Tom, enjoying yourself?" I asked him.
"I am. Everything turned out-"
"-spectacular." his wife finished his sentence and smiled. They continued dancing as they passed and I noticed Lys and Max were right behind them. She walked over to me and put her arms on my shoulders and started to sway her hips back and forth. I love when she does this but can't get this image of her and Max together out of my head. We danced a little longer before the floor was cleared so that the bouquet can be tossed and garter thrown. And guess who won Alyssa and Max. Go figure! But Lys is technically next to get married so it kinda worked out. When he started to put the garter on he used only his teeth to slide up almost her entire thigh. She turned beat red. Hope someone took a picture or captured it on film. Then after that was all said and done Max kissed her on the lips. I mean full on the lips and she kissed back too. That's what broke my heart. At that moment I wished Natale's reception was not on a boat! I just wanted to get away. Far, far away. When they pulled away I just stared at her. She walked over to me and pulled outside to the top of the boat. After stumbling up the stairs I pondered how many drinks did she have?
"Jordan I am sorry. But there is something I need to tell you." she started. These are never good. My immediate thought was that she is breaking off the wedding and marrying Max. "I made out with Max last night at the bachelor party. We didn't have sex just some heavy kissing." she paused. "I am so sorry but I came looking for you so that we could do it. And then the boys bought me a drink and couple shots and I was way over my happy spot. I know it shouldn't have happened. I wish I could take it back but I can't. Again I am so sorry. I wanted to tell you this morning but I couldn't let it ruin your day. I love you so much." I just stared back at her. I couldn't believe she cheated on me with one of my good friends. I didn't have any words to say to her. I knew she didn't mean for it to happen but it did and by the looks of it Max wanted more. I needed not to see her. I just wanted to be done with the reception and go home. "Jordan please say something." I shook my head no and turned and walked away. I heard her sniffle and I knew I made her cry but I did not care at that moment. I walked into the dance hall and heard them playing a few slow songs.
"Hey Jordan where is Lys?" Max asked. The nerve of him.
"Why so you can fuck her this time?" I spat at him and continued my walk to the bar. But my walk was interrupted by Alex this time.
"Lys didn't mean to do anything with Max. I should have stop her. Blame me." sweet Alex told me.
"Sorry Alex this is not your fault at all. Excuse me." I finally reached the bar and ordered myself two beers. I walked back to the head table and sat there and drank the first one in five minutes. Then the Dj stated that it was time to start the bridal dance. I reached into my pockets. All I had was a ten and a twenty. I'll give them the twenty. I downed my second beer and got two more before getting in line to dance. I noticed Max brought Alyssa down from the top of the boat. Her eyes where all bloodshot and her nose was running. How dare he comfort her. How dare he kiss and touch her! She is my fiancé! I put my "dollar" in the bag and took a shot of whiskey. Then danced with Natale. "You look so gorgeous!"
"Aw thank you Jordan! And thank you for your continued love and support. Sid greatly appreciates it as do I!" We danced a bit more then I went to get beers number four and five.
When the boat docked I managed to have nine beers, I didn't see Lys for the rest of the night and finished an entire tray of cookies off. I finally saw her crawl into the limo with Max right behind her. I don't understand it. He even has a girlfriend! Dineen would be so upset if she knew what Lys and him did. And Alyssa and her are suppose to be good friends too. They have known each other since middle school. I didn't speak to anyone on the drive back to the hotel and once there Lys approach me.
"I am spending the night in Alex's room. See you tomorrow. I still love you." she turned and walked into the hotel with Alex and Gino. Max wasn't too far behind. I sulked back to the hotel room. I undid my tie and got undressed throwing the tuxedo over one of the chairs. I brushed my teeth and climbed into bed. My head was spinning. I knew I drank too much and thankfully passed out before I could replay the events again in my head.
In the morning I noticed some movement in the room.
"Sorry I woke you. I was just gathering my things. Alex said they would take me home. I left you a bottle of water and Advil on the nightstand. Have a safe travel back home." she told me. This is stupid. I love this girl and she made a mistake. She got drunk and kissed another guy. I know how she gets when she is vulnerable like that.
"Wait Lys don't go." she stopped to look at me. "I forgive you." I told her. She just stared at me.
"You do?"
"Yes, I know how you get when you are drunk but it was a mistake. A mistake that will never happen again." she shook her head.
"I promise to never do that again. I felt so horrible about the whole situation." then she started to cry.
"Baby, don't cry. It's over and done with. It's in the past. Let's just move on." I got up and kissed her passionately on the lips. I love this girl so much and I am not going to let one stupid mistake jeopardize what we have. We deepened the kiss and whatever she had in her hand fell to the floor as she out her arms around my neck. I put my arms around her lower back and lifted her to lay down on the bed. We made out a bit longer before making love. Afterward I held her in my arms just thinking about our future together when I heard a cellphone go off.
"Oh that's me. It's Alex." She climbed out of bed to retrieve her phone and chatted with her best friend. "She wanted to know if we were going to the luncheon."
"Oh shit I forgot." I completely lost track of time. "Let's go!" We quickly dressed and raced to the restaurant in the hotel.
"Glad you could join us." Malkin teased us as we sat down at the long table. Lys just blushed. We chatted about the wedding and other things before Natale and Sidney left to go on their honeymoon. They were taking a mediterranean cruise visiting Italy, Greece and Turkey just to name a few countries. Lys and I are debating where to go on ours.
"Be safe and have fun!" Lys said and gave both of them a hug. "Take pictures too!"
"Enjoy yourselves." I told them. We all started to say goodbye when Max pulled me aside.
"Jordan I just want to apologize for getting involved with Lys. It was wrong for me to make out with her but even more wrong to kiss her in front of everyone. I am sorry." he told me. I forgave Lys so I should forgive him?
"Okay, thank you for your apology." I can't forgive him just yet. He did come onto my fiancé. I turned to continue my goodbyes. Lys and I went back to the room to gather our luggage before heading home.
"Too bad I don't have time to visit my cousins."
"Babe you have relatives everywhere." I told her.
"I know! And just you wait till you meet all of them! They are great." I smiled at her. I smiled at her. I couldn't believe we were getting in just a short with months. Still a lot of planning to do but end result will be perfect. I love this woman and cannot wait to spend the rest or my life with her.

EM - I Do [ch 1] (sequel to She Has My Heart)

Gino and Alex’s wedding was here before we knew it. The wedding was held in Alex’s hometown of Arlington, VA. Her sister, Emmy, was the maid of honor and then Lys and Natale as bridesmaids. Gino had his brother as his best man and Sidney and I as groomsmen. We got ready in the nearby hotel that we all were staying. The ceremony would be in her church that she grew up in and the reception back in the L’Enfant Plaza hotel. Pink was her theme. We wore black tuxes with light pink lapels. It matched the bridesmaid’s dresses. They were strapless dress that hit knee length then became longer in the back. Lys looked very nice in it. We were all waiting for the limo to ride over in the church. It was about one-o-clock. The ceremony started in an hour. Lys was making sure we were gone before Alex came down to the lobby.
“You look gorgeous.” I whispered in my fiancé’s ear then kissed her cheek. She blushed.
“Thank you but you guys need to go!” She ushered us out of the hotel room and down to the waiting limo. The limo would drop us off at the church then come back for the girls. “Oh Gino, you look so handsome!” Lys gushed and kissed him on the cheek. We all climbed into the elevator. I could tell Lys was holding back tears and I just pulled her close to me. The elevator dinged letting us know that we were on the first floor. Lys walked us outside. “You all look so happy and handsome! Knock em dead!” We piled in and drove away to the church. It was a short distance to the church. We soon met up with everyone else and started to escort people down the aisle. I saw Cathy and Jay and immediately went to offer her my arm.
“Hello Jordan, how are you?” She hugged me and I shook Jay’s hand. “You look handsome.” She now took my arm and we walked down the aisle.
“Thank you. I am doing well…did you guys have a nice drive?” They drove down last night after they both got off work.
“It wasn’t bad at all, just hit the cruise control.” Jay explained. We reached the pew on the bride’s side.
“Thank you Jordan.” I nodded and walked back down the aisle to escort another guest. I saw the limo pull up about quarter til two. I looked down the aisle and saw that Gino was escorting his mother and father down the aisle. Then his brother, Denis, escorted Alex’s mother down the aisle to her seat. He then took his place next to his brother by the altar. Stationed up there was a Russian translator for Gino's family. He would repeat after the priest. The doors closed and I turned around to see the girls climbing out of the limo. I walked down with Sidney to meet our girls. We then helped Alex out of the limo. She looked so radiant. Her dress was strapless. The fabric pulled and tugged at the bodice then filled out in the skirt. It wasn’t poofy but flared nicely away from the body leaving a nice train behind her. There were little beads throughout the bodice all meeting on the side to form jeweled design. Gino would fall in love all over again with her. I wonder what Lys picked for her dress. I bet its something princessy. I could picture her in something like that. Although I think something form fitting would look nice too. Her dad escorted both of his girls up to the church. We were all positioned in front of the door. Alex and her dad were off to the side for now. Natale and Sidney walked down first, then it was Lys and I and Emmy to follow. They closed the doors once more. The bridal march started to play and everyone stood up. They opened the door to reveal Alex and her dad. I glanced back at Gino. He had the biggest smile on his face. He was truly happy and content to be marrying her.
After the ceremony we took pictures in front of the altar and then some outside of the church before getting into the limo and heading back to the L’Enfant Plaza. We were all laughing and joking around.
“Alex thank goodness you didn’t burn the your dress while lighting the unity candle.” Lys commented.
“I know I was praying that I wouldn’t”
“Would be funny if he caught jacket on fire.” Denis commented. And his brother just shook his head and laughed.
“Let’s have a quick toast!” Emmy suggested and passed out glasses of champagne. “To a perfect reception just like the ceremony!”
“Salut!” the Italians chimed. “Cheers” Said everyone else. “Nice driveway!” stated Lys. Everyone looked at her.
“What?” but Lys didn’t have time to explain because the limo came to a halt at the hotel. The couples climbed out to the limo and went inside. We lined up and waited for our names to be called as we walked into the dining hall.
“Alyssa Trunzo escorted by Jordan Staal.” We walked out did a little spin then took to our spots at the bridal table. “And now, give it up for Mr. and Mrs. Evegni Malkin!” the whole crowd stood up and applauded. “The couple would like to share their first dance.”
“It’s Big and Rich ‘Lost in this moment,’” Lys whispered in my ear. “It was between this and a Taylor Swift song. But this suits them.” I kissed her on the lips. “So thankful that we got the room situation under control.” She stated again. What she is referring to, is that they hotel booked the wrong room for the reception. It would have been interesting squishing 400 people into a 250 space. But fortunately we fixed the problem in time. We sat down and the food started to arrive. The whole reception was nice. We partied till about 11 then retreated up to the hotel room.
“I can’t wait until our wedding.” Lys cooed in my ear. “I can’t wait to be called Mrs. Jordan Staal!”
“I can’t wait for you to be Mrs. Staal!” I kissed her lips and we made love the rest of the night.

In the morning we woke up early to see Alex and Gino off. They were going to Hawaii for their honeymoon. Lys and I still haven’t figured out where we are going. She wants to go to Taiwan. I think it would be nice to go to the Bahamas. We got dressed and headed down to the restaurant in the hotel. Natale and Sidney greeted us.
“Morning!” the girls hugged while Sidney and I exchanged handshakes.
“What’s good?” Lys asked while she pulled up a seat.
“Oh I am just getting some eggs and toast.” Natale stated. We both looked over the menu while they got their food. Lys ended getting French toast and I order pancakes. After we ordered the newlyweds appeared.
“Hey Mr. and Mrs. Malkin!" We greeted them. Alex was just beaming! You could tell that she was ecstatic. We all enjoyed breakfast with the newlyweds. We exchanged stories of last night!
"The father daughter dance was adorable!" Natale commented. Pretty soon more people started gathering for breakfast, including the families! Mommy Malkin looked so happy. Lys went over to sit with her parents after she finished eating.
"Yinz leaving today?" she asked them.
"Yes. We are going to stop and the see kids on the way home." her mom replied. Those kids she was referring to was her adorable little cousins. Well they are not so little. Cody is 12 and Cydney is 9.
"Aww give them hugs and kisses from me!" she told her parents. " I really wish I could have gotten more time off of work. I miss them."
"Will do." her mom replied. Cydney and Cody were both going to be in our wedding.
"Alright we are heading out after we finish our breakfast." her dad stated.
"Aww okay. You are not staying for the goodbye luncheon?"
"No, sorry toots."
"It's okay I know yinz wanna see the kids and get home at a reasonable time." she gave her parents a hug goodbye. I said goodbye and wished them a safe travel. Lys and I retreated back to the hotel room before slipping into something more appropriate for the goodbye luncheon. Lys wore a cute yellow sundress with high heel brown sandals. I threw on khaki pants and a powder blue top.
"That brings out the color in your eyes." she told me and kissed me on the cheek as we made our way to the reception hall. It was the smaller one of the two and I noticed most of the team had stayed. It was great to see new and old players like Max Talbot. He signed a deal with the Philadelphia Flyers about a year ago.
"Max!" Lys called out his name. "How are you!? I am sorry I missed you last night!"
"That's because you were too busy eyeing up your fiancé to notice me!" Lys turned 10 shades of red. It was cute. I shook his hand.
"It's good to see you again. How's Philly treating you?"
"Not too shabby but I definitely miss playing with you guys!" he said.
"I so want a Philly cheesesteak now!"
"You are more than welcome to visit anytime!"
"Oh really, Max?" Lys cooed. "I would love to visit you in the city! I have only been there one other time, my freshman year of college for Panic! at the Disco concert." I shook my head. My girl is crazy about concerts. She slapped my arm lightly. Just then Gino waved us to the head table.
"Chat later Max." We walked over there and sat down. Soon the room was silenced and Gino stood up to say a speech.
"I just want to say a thank you for everyone who came to celebrate with my beautiful wife and I. We appreciate at it greatly. We so wonderful to have friends and family as yourselves. We hope you enjoy yourself. Thank you." he sat down them quickly stood back up. "oh enjoy food." he laughed. Just then coach Bylsma stood up and started saying something about Gino. Before we knew it turned into a little bit of a roast told him. Then Lys stood up and said something about Alex.
"Alex, I didn't want you to be left out but Gino never let her be in charge of the directions. This one time we were looking at the monuments in DC and she got us lost in the Reagan airport using a GPS." Alex just pouted and then her sister turned stood up. It was a funny lunch. The newlyweds were such good sports about it. As lunch came to a close we started to say our goodbyes. Alex and Gino were on the evening flight out and Lys and I had a drive back. "Safe travels. Love you! You best text me when yinz land!!!!!" she told her person. I gave them both a hug goodbye. Lys and I walked back up to our hotel room. We gathered our luggage and checked out the room. "Want me to drive back?" she asked as we were loading my car.
"No I'll drive."
"But you drove down."
"I know but you have work tomorrow and if you need a little nap you can take it." she kissed me on the lips.
"You are so thoughtful! I love you!"
"I love you." We got situated in the car and made our way back to Pittsburgh.
"Just think this time next year I will Mrs. Staal!"
"You are correct! I can't wait!" I beamed at her. She looked so radiant in the glistening sunlight. We drove on as we talked about our wedding plans. Next up will be Sidney and Natale's wedding.

MT/KL - High Heels and Hockey [Ch 2]

Here is another chapter from my friend! Enjoy!

***

Dineen and Alyssa just downed their 8th shot of the night. "You know.." Alyssa said putting her shot glass down. "I think you guys are getting us drunk to take advantage of us." They laughed at her and shook their heads. "Whelp, you didnt need to get me drunk for that! We are getting married. Remember!!??" They had made a joke of it all night. Infact Max even introduced her to Kris as his future wife. "Haha, I remember." Max looked up at the clock and then to Kris with a worried look. Kris looked at Dineen and Alyssa and asked, "How are you girls getting home?" Alyssa shrugged her shoulders. "We'll prob just call a cab to take us to a hotel for the night. Then go home in the morning." Kris shook his head. "No way. Have you seen some of those cab drivers? They look like will murder the next person that gets in the car." Dineen was cracking up at this thinking of the night they went out for their friend Anna's birthday. And then the lightbulb went off. "OMG!" Everyone turned to look at Dineen who grabbed Kris's arm. "March 17th...I literally RAN into you at Diesel!" All of a sudden Kris's eyes lit up. "I DO remeber you!" He then looked at Alyssa. "You were the girl that kept acting like you were taking pictures of Dineen but you were totally taking pictures of me. Haha." Alyssa blushed. "Yeah that was me." Alyssa finished her drink and set it down. "Well guys it was fun. But me and Neen gotta get going. I gotta go outside and call the cab." Max started to stammer. "Why dont you girls stay at my place tonight? You each can have your own room. And you can go in the morning. We can even do breakfast." The girls thought about it for a second and reluctantly agreed.

****************

The next morning....

 

"Omg...what the hell happened last night? I feel like I was hit by a truck." Dineen rolled over and was face to face with a shirtless Max.

"Try a hockey player. How much do you remember?" Max asked sitting up alittle in bed. Dineen was still laying down.

"Well...I definately dont remember leaving Marios. I remember you running into me...but then the shots started and I blacked out.." She tried to see if he was wearing pants. "Did we have sex?" She suddenly realized she was only wearing one of his tee shirts.

Max laughed, "Damn..I hoped it was good enough to remember." Dineen's eyes lit up. "Well you seemed to enjoy it last night."

Dineen covered her face with the sheet. "PLEASE tell me you used a condom!" Dineen threw the sheet back down and looked at him. He had a look of guilt on his face. "Fuuuck...I'm not on the pill." Dineen sat up and looked at Max. They sat there in silence just looking at each other when they heard it. "Ahhh...Kris. Ahhh, Fuck yeah..." They both started busting out laughing. "Im probably just worrying about nothing. Its almost impossible for me to get pregnant anyway." The look of relief surged over Max. He reached across Dineen to the night stand drawer and pulled out a condom.

"Ready for round two?" He said with a devilish smile.

"Hell yeah I am." said Dineen.

Here is the next installment! Enjoy!

“Oh I am so sorry!” the waiter stated. She continued to apologize and explained that it was only her second night working by herself. She was startled by seeing the Pittsburgh Penguins at the table and tripped over the rug. The manager then came over and said that the meal would be free to make up for the spill.

            “Thank you! But my jersey! How is it ever going to come clean?”

            “Wash it…”

            “Anna you know how she feels about that.” Lys stated.

            “Why don’t I get you a new one and something to else to wear.” Max told her.

            “Thanks because you know I really should start wearing and t-shirt under my jersey.” Max winked at her and adjusted himself a bit as he stood up and walked to his car. He came back with a black t-shirt and handed it to her. “Thank you.” She said and went to change in the bathroom. When she came out the shirt was a little snug but she didn’t mind it smelled like him. And he smelled delicious! She was in heaven. The friends ordered when Neen returned to the table. Neen got her cheeseburger, Anna got a milkshake, Lys and Sid were splitting a banana split, Max got a buffalo chicken salad and Kris ordered the breakfast scrambler. Conversation flowed throughout the entire meal. Everyone really got along and even some people were becoming closer to each other. “Thank you for taking us out tonight and for letting me borrow your shirt. I’ll give it back to you.”

            “Keep it, it’s only one shirt.”

            “Are you sure?”

            “Positive.” He smiled at her. “Can I get your number so that we can setup our dinner date?”

            “Yes you may.”  They exchanged numbers and gave hugs before Neen got into Lys’ car. The guys piled into Max’s beamer. The girls waved as they drove off first.

            “So spill! What happened between you and Sidney?” Anna asked.

            “Well, we exchanged numbers, made out a little by my car and…”she realized she still had his jacket. “Crap! I have his jacket still.”

            “It’s okay, I have Max’s shirt.” Anna just laughed. “What do you have of Kris’?”

            “Nothing, just his number!” she smiled.

            “Who would have thought that we would actually meet them?” Lys told her friends. They were on their way back home.

            “Never in a million years!”

            “So what is up between you and the Alyssa girl?” Max asked on the way home.

            “I like her. She is really cool! What do you think about Dineen?”

            “Man, I felt bad because I made her faint but at the same time I am glad because I think she is cool and I’d like to get to know her.”

            “At first I thought you were going to go after Anna the way you two were talking.” Commented Kris.

            “She was hot but not really my type.”

            “I thought Lys was cute but Sid snatched her up.” He chuckled. “But it is good, I like Anna.”

            “Tonight was a good night guys.” Max concluded.

            “Indeed! I can’t believe we were so fortunate to meet some amazing girls tonight.”

            “Neither can I!” agreed Kris.

A few days later Dineen found herself pacing back and forth from her kitchen to her bathroom checking to see if her make-up looked good. She was waiting for Mr. Talbot to pick her up. When she was in the bathroom, going pee, she heard the dogs start to bark.

            “Figures!” she stated and quickly finished up before answering the knocking door. Her eyes fell on the most gorgeous man. “Hello! Please come in.” he walked in and handed her a jersey.

            “For you.” He smiled at her. She blushed and thanked him. And of course everyone wanted to meet him before they left, so she introduced him to her mom, brother and grandparents. “Nice to meet all of you.” He smiled. They shortly said their goodbyes and made their way to his car. Dineen was watching his butt in those black dress pants he was wearing as they walked down the walkway. He opened the door for her and then proceeded to get in. “You’re family seems nice.”

            “Yea, I love them!” she told him. She couldn’t believe that this was actually happening. Just then her phone went off. She read the text. “Sorry, that was from Lys.”

            “Ah, her and Sidney are going out tomorrow.”

            “Yep, Kris and Anna are going out tonight too though.”

            “Yea! He followed me out to this area!” Max told her. Neen just laughed.

As instructed, Kris parked the car and waited until Anna came out. He was not allowed to come in. Anna explained that her parents were kind of weird when it came to her dating, so it was best not to mentioning anything yet.

            “Hey!” she said when she stepped into his car.

            “Hello, these are for you!” he handed her a bouquet of flowers.

            “Aww thank you so much. They are pretty!” He just smiled at her. He really wanted to say that they matched a pretty girl but thought it was way too cheesy for a first date.

            “I hope you are hungry.”

            “I am always hungry!” she replied.

            “What kind of foods do you like to eat?” he asked.

            “Oh anything Polish! I love perogies!”

            “I don’t think I have tried one of those.”

            “Really?! Well you need to try them! I will make some for you one of these days!” she told him. They kept driving until they reached the restaurant.

            “I know you said you like Polish but what about Italian?” he asked when he parked near Bravo’s at the Waterfront.

            “I love Italian and this place!” she exclaimed to him. He put the car in park and came around to open her door and escort her inside. Once inside, they were quickly seated because he had called ahead to make a reservation. Good thing he did. They lobby was full of people! “You have to try the Riesling they have here! So good!” They were seated next to the window. The couple ordered a bottle of wine and some appetizers before they saw some familiar faces walk past the window.

            “Was that Anna and Kris?” Neen asked.

            “Yea I think. Do you want to say hi?”

            “It doesn’t matter to me.” So the couple went in to say hi to their friends. “Hey guys!”

            “Hey! How are you?” Anna asked.

            “Good, enjoying your time out?” Max wondered.

            “Yes, and you?” replied Kris.  Max nodded.

“We were going to head over to Bar Louie.”

            “Ah, well enjoy yourself.” Stated Anna.

            “Thanks you! Bye!” Neen told them. Dineen and Max walked out of the restaurant and into the one right next door. “What are the odds of seeing them down here?” she asked.

            “I think it’s funny that we did run into them.” Then Max changed the subject. “So have you lived in Pittsburgh your whole life?”

            “Yep! I bleed black and gold too!” she smiled.

            “Just Pens?”

            “No I love football too. You should have seen me during the Super Bowl! I could hardly watch the TV!”

            “I know it was an intense game!”

            “It was and there is always next year! Besides now I devote myself to cheering for Lord Stanley!”  Max just laughed.

            “Yea, hopefully we can make that happen! What do you think about the new arena?”

            “Well, I haven’t been to it yet.”

            “You haven’t?!”

            “Nope.”

            “Well that needs to change. You and the girls should come to a game.”

            “Sounds like a plan!” they smiled at each other and the waitress approached them.  They ordered and launched right back into conversation.

            “You should come to Friday’s game and we can go out afterward if you like!” he told her excited.

            “That would be awesome but how are we going to get tickets?”

            “You can sit in my box if you like or if you girls want closer seats I can see what I can do…”he trailed off.

            “Anna and Alyssa can come too?”

            “Yea fer sure.”

            “That would be amazing!” she smiled at him. Their food arrived and they continued to talk through out the rest of dinner. After dessert they walked back out and he took her hand as he led her around the square. Neither wanted the date to end. Even though most of the stores were about to close they still kept walking around, talking. They eventually sat down in the middle of square by the fountain behind Starbucks. Then it happened. Max leaned in and kissed her on the lips. Dineen kissed back and they started to make out on the bench.

            “Do you want to come back to my house?” Max asked. Dineen nodded. They quickly walked back to the car and drove the short distance to Max’s house.

Hey this story i wrote for Dineen! Love you girl!!!

“Dineen watch out!” her friend Alyssa screamed.  She pulled her friend out of the way of the car. They both fell to the ground.

            “Oh my god,” their friend Anna exclaimed. The car finished pulling into the driveway and someone one jumped out.

            “Are you girls okay?”

            “Yea I think we’re fine.” Lys stated. She started to get up and help Neen up.

            “You’re-you’re-you’re…”and she fainted.

            “Here let’s get her inside. He, Alyssa and Anna helped Dineen into the house.

            “I hope she is not hurt.” Anna said when they laid her on the couch.

            “Honestly, I think she is more star struck.” Lys smiled. The girls’ rescuer was none other than Pittsburgh Penguin Max Talbot. “By the way I’m Alyssa, this is Anna and that is Dineen.”

            “Nice to meet you girls, I’m Max.”

            “Nice to meet you as well. You’re that penguin correct?”  Alyssa just smacked the side of her head.

            “Yes I am.”

            “Sorry, Anna is not into hockey much, watch! Who is 87?” Anna thought for a minute.

            “Crosby?”

            “11?”

            “Staal.”

            “25?”

            “Ah! It’s Dineen’s favorite player, Talbot?”

            “Yea that’s me!”

            “Wait you’re Max Talbot?”

            “Yep!” he nodded.

            “Oh Anna.” Lys said. “You have to forgive her she is very book smart but lacks common sense.” He laughed at that as Anna slapped her arm. Just then the doorbell rang.

            “Excuse me for a moment, but some of the guys were coming over after the game.” He raced downstairs.

            “Way to be Anna.”

            “I’m sorry I didn’t know.” Lys laughed.

            “Wait til Neen wakes up, she’ll kill you.”

            “I hope she’s okay.” The girls walked over, she was breathing. You would have just thought she was in a deep sleep. “We should get her some water.” Anna walked over to the kitchen to get a glass. She came back and started to flick some in her face. Footsteps were heard coming back up the stairs. Lys turned around and she almost fainted.

            “Hey ladies, this is Sidney and Kris. This is Anna and Alyssa.”

            “Nice to meet you.” Anna went over and shook their hands. But Alyssa just stood there. “Lys what’s wrong?”

            “Huh what? Nothing, nothing at all.”

            “Hey wait you’re Crosby aren’t you?”

            “Yes I am.”

            “Oh! I get it now. She is like in love with you.”

            “Anna! Oh I am not, just a fan.”

            “Yea but don’t you have his jersey, earrings and posters in your room? Oh and what about your picture with him?”

            “Haha, oh Anna.” Lys blushed.  

            “What picture?” he seemed interested.

            “Oh nothing really, it’s just a picture of us that you were so kind enough to take with me.”

            “Can I see it?”

            “Sure.” Lys pulled out her phone and they went and sat on the loveseat together.

            “Hey Max do you have washcloth I can borrow?”

            “Yes.” He walked into the bathroom to get it. “Here you go.”

            “Thank you.” Anna dabbed the washcloth in the water and then on Dineen’s face. Neen slowly started to open her eyes.

            “Hey boo.” She said. “Where am I?”

            “Max’s house.”

            “So it really was him?”

            “Yep, it was me!”

            “Holy fuck!” she exclaimed. “Hello! I’m-”

            “Dineen, I know you’re friends were nice enough to inform me.” She blushed.

            “Where is Lys?”

            “With Sidney.”

            “Crosby?!” Anna nodded. “Oh well there goes the rest of the night.”

            “Hey, I can still hear you!” she called over to her friend.  Neen sat up on the couch.

            “You need any medicine or anything?” Max asked.

            “No, just water.” Max walked to the kitchen and he got her a glass of water. “Thank you.” She said when he handed it to her and sat down beside her.

            “So what are you ladies up to tonight?”

            “We were just drinking and hanging out. We watched the game at Mario’s.”

            “I love that place, they have the most delicious ribs.” Max stated.

            “Oh I know! I love how they fall right off the bone! So good!” Anna told him. “And you know the other thing I like there is their perogies!”

            “They are delicious too! If their kitchen was still open I say let’s all go over and get some!”

            “Aww yea too bad.” She commented.

            “Maybe some other time.”

            “Okay!!!” Dineen excited stated. She was trying to get back into the conversation. Just then laughter was heard from the couch area. “What’s so funny guys?”

            “Nothing!” they both stated and laughed again. “Do you want to go get some fresh air?” Sidney asked her. Of course she said yes.

            “Well she is our ride.” Dineen told Kris and Max.

            “Do you need to get home? I’ll take you home.” Kris offered.

            “No, no I didn’t mean it like that! I am enjoying myself talking to you guys.”

            “Yinz are really nice.”

            “Ha! A true Pittsburgher…yinz! I love it!” Max smiled at her. Dineen got a pain of jealousy through her. Max was flirting with Anna not her! She needed a way to get the attention back on herself.

            “Max my head is starting to hurt a little bit now, is there any place to lie down?”

            “Yes of course.” He helped her up off of the couch and walked her back to the bedroom. “Here you can use my room.”

            “Thank you.” She kicked off her sneakers and lied down in his.

            “Can I get you anything else?”

            “You know, maybe that Tylenol is not a bad idea.”

            “Sure thing hun.” He left and came back with her glass of water and the pills. She told him thank you again. “Anything else?”

            “All that talk about food made me hungry for a cheese burger. We should go get some.”  He laughed.

            “Why don’t you lie down for a few minutes then we’ll head out. Where would you like to go?”

            “It doesn’t matter, I love Denny’s burgers.”

            “Okay we will go there!” He smiled at her before he retreated back to the living room.

Meanwhile on the walk with Sidney and Lyssa…

            “So have you lived in Pittsburgh your whole life?”

            “Yep! All 23 years of it!”

            “You’re 23?” he asked.

            “Yes I am.”

            “I thought you looked younger, but it’s cool that we are the same age.”

            “Actually, you are a few months older than me.”

            “When’s your birthday?”

            “Nov 20^th.”

            “Awesome. So Alyssa where do you work?”

            “Well, part-time still as I go to graduate school.”

            “What are you going for?”

            “Entertainment Business.”

            “That is interesting. What would you like to with that degree?” So she explained about her plan to open a record label one day. She then shivered. “You must be cold. Here take my jacket and we’ll head back.”

            “Ah alright.”

            “Something wrong?”

            “No, I just enjoyed talking to you.”

            “Well I can give you my number and we can chat some more.” Her face lit up.

            “Sounds good!” the new friends walked back into Max’s apartment about a half hour after they left.

            “Hey you guys want to go to Denny’s? Dineen is craving a cheeseburger.” Lys giggled.

            “She loves that place! But where is she?”

            “Laying down, let me go wake her.” Max said and walked back into the bedroom. There he saw her lying there with the biggest smile on her face. He wondered if it was because she was lying in his bed. So to wake her he went over and kissed her on the cheek.  “Neen, time to wake up.”

            “No! I was having a good dre- oh shit! That wasn’t a dream.” She opened her eyes to see Max. Then she blushed.

            “It’s okay, do you want to go to out to eat?”

            “Just me and you?”

            “Well we can if you want to, but some other time. We have our friends with us now.”

            “Okay!” she smiled. She put her shoes on and followed Max out of his bedroom. Everyone seemed to paired-up. It was Sid and Lys; Kris and Anna; finally Max and Dineen.

            “Who is going to drive?” Kris asked.

            “Well I can drive, that way where ever we go we can just go home straight from there. Save you guys some time.”

            “It’s no problem for us to drive though.” Stated Kris.

            “I know but it’s fine I don’t mind.”

            “Well then I’ll ride with you.” Sidney told her. She still had his jacket on too.

            “Alright, we’ll meet yinz there then.” She said. Her and Sidney made their way to her little blue Saturn parked somewhere on 14^th street.

            “Kris do you want to drive or shall I?”

            “It doesn’t matter.”

            “I’ll drive, you drove here and it was my idea.” He stated. “You ladies ready to go?” They both nodded.

            “I call shotgun!” Neen screamed when she saw his beamer. Kris just laughed.

            “I was going to let you have it anyway.” Him and Anna hopped in the backseat and cuddled close to one another. Glad to see them two getting along great! Everyone got situated and left for the restaurant. 

            Max, Neen, Kris and Anna beat Lyssa and Sidney to the restaurant.

            “They are probably fucking.” Dineen stated. As soon as she said that the two walked through the doorway holding hands. “Bout time.” She joked with them.

            “Oh I’m sorry, you didn’t get enough alone time with Max.” Lys retorted and Neen just blushed.

            “How many? Six?” the greeter asked. The group followed her to a table in the back to accommodate them. There was another party of five already seated. “Your server will be right with you. Enjoy.” She smiled and left. The newfound friends and lovers sat down at the circular table.

            “What are you guys going to eat?” Kris asked.

            “Hmm…I think I want some dessert.” And Lys set her menu down to look at the dessert one. Just then the waiter came out carrying the drinks of the table sitting behind them. She was about to say something to the group but instead tripped on the rug and all the drinks spilled on Neen, Max and Lys but mostly Neen. She had pop spilled all over her precious jersey.

MT/KL - High Heels and Hockey

This is being written by my friend Dineen.

"I can't believe I'm going to a hockey game!" Dineen was so excited. Her and Alyssa were standing outside of the Consol Energy Center. Alyssa won two tickets to the game and decided to take Dineen instead of Anna, and we all know why!

 "Neen your gonna love it! And its gonna be even better because we are right behind the Pens bench!"

They made their way to their seats. They sat there and chit chatted for only a few minutes before the players started making their way to the bench. Dineen and Lyssa's mouths fell open. Sitting right in front of them were none other than Kris Letang and Max Talbot.

"A-a-a.." Dineen was hitting Alyssa, she couldnt even speak.

"I know sweety, I know" Alyssa told her not taking her eyes off of Kris. Just as the girls we staring at them with their mouths open, Max and Kris looked at them.

"Dineen? Did they just look at us?" Dineen just nodded with her mouth open.

*****

"Great game guys." Dan Byslma told his team as they entered the locker room. Max and Kris payed no attention.

"Did you see those two girls?" Max asked Kris.

"I couldnt keep my mind on the game. They were so star struck, and hot." Kris said as he was getting out of his equipment. "We need to go find them."

"Where the hell are we gonna look? I doubt they would still be here at the arena. Lets just go back to my place then head to Marios." Max said as he headed to the shower. 

*****

"Mrs. Max Talbot was here." Dineen said outloud as she wrote on the chalk board in her stall.

"Haha, you write that everytime we come here! You need to think of something more clever." Alyssa said joking around. They girls were standing in front of the mirror fixing their make-up. Dineen just finished putting on some lip gloss and she sighed.

"Dude, we have came here so many times for the games and stayed after and he has never fucking come here. He lives right fucking next door!!! And, he should have a 'feeling' I'm here...we are mean't for each other dammit!" Dineen said laughing. She knew it would never happen, but it was fun to joke about.

Alyssa just laughed at her crazy friend. "So, any word on you and Anthony? You two getting closer or what?" The girls were now going up the stairs back to the bar.

"Idk, we went on a couple dates, I really like him alot. But I told him not to get to attached because I'm gonna marry Max Tal--" Dineen ran right into the person coming down the steps. Alyssa tried catching her but she ended up falling down the steps. "Are you fucking kidding me?" She got up with Alyssa's help, who was trying to keep a straight face. Dineen was going off on a tangent screaming and cussing while brushing her self off.

"Dineen, shut up." Alyssa said, but Dineen couldn't do that. "Dineen, shut the fuck up." Alyssa smacked her. Dineen was yelling something about fucking idiots not watching where they were going. "DINEEN!" Dineen looked up at Lys.

"What?" Lys grabbed Dineen's head and pointed it twoard the guy that ran her over. "Holy fuck..." Standing in front of them was Max Talbot. "Omg, I am so sorry!" Dineen was blushing now.

"No, no..its my fault. I should have been more careful. I didnt mean to almost kill my future wife." Max said laughing. Alyssa was cracking up. Dineen just blushed. "Please let me buy you girls a drink." They graciously excepted and went upstairs to wait for Max to come back up.

"I cannot believe you bitched out your dream man!" Alyssa said still laughing at her friend.

"I can't believe I did either, and that he heard me say we were gonna get married!" Dineen shook her head. "I made a complete ass out of myself."

"Yes," Alyssa said grinning as she seen Max coming up the steps, "Yes you did."

About noon the next day, I heard the doorbell. I walked downstairs to discover my agent was at the door.

            “Sidney you need to stop.”

            “What are you talking about?”

            “Seeing that girl!” I looked at him dumbfounded. “There are pictures of you and her together all this past week. It needs to come to an end!”

            “Why does it need to stop?” I asked. “I like her and I like spending time with her!”

            “She is not good for your reputation. You are a Stanley Cup champion and an Olympic gold medal winner, what has she done?!” I didn’t answer him. “She is only using you to get to your money. Don’t you see that? She really doesn’t like you at all. Just your money.”

“No I don’t think so.”

“Sidney, you barely know her whereas I know her type. It’s all a scam. She pretends to like you when in reality all she cares about is money.” I thought back to the week we had. She immediately started flirting with that Travis kid. He’s famous as well. And when we went out I did pay for most of the things we did. I thought about what he was saying. “During the interviews today, if they bring it up, which I know they probably will, deny it.” I looked him in the eye. “Say it was just a random fan who was just using you.” I nodded. Yea she was just using me for my money. I paid for a lot of things on this trip.

            That afternoon I sat in my spot and prepared myself for game day interviews.  I saw Lys. She smiled at me but I just ignored it.

            “Sidney, who is this girl you were seen with this past week.” I took a deep breathe before responding.

            “Just some random fan that followed me. I really couldn’t shake her.”

            “So, you are not dating her?”

            “No I am not dating her, I have no interested in her. She was just trying to use me for my money.” I looked up and met her gaze. I could see the tears forming in her eyes. It broke my heart to see that.

            “Sidney, if you didn’t like the girl how do you explain the picture of you and this girl holding hands?”

            “She just grabbed my hand for a split second and that’s when they took the picture. I brushed her off after that.” I said. I looked to find Lys but she wasn’t there. The questions now were about hockey. After I finished my manager patted me on the back. I walked out of the locker room to find her. I looked down the hallway to see Kris consoling Lys. What did I do to her? I hate when girls cry. I turned around and walked back in to locker. I wasn’t going to watch that.            

            “Hey buddy, I told you not to get mixed up with her.”

            “Max you were right.” I smiled at him. Just then Kris barged in through the doors.

“What the hell was that all about?”

“What?”

            “Some random fan? I had to calm her down she was shaking.”

            “She was and besides she was just using me for my money.”

            “Didn’t you offer to pay for most things? If I remember hearing you say you’ll take care of the hotel when you asked me if I wanted to join you?” I stared at him. I thought back to what we did together. I did offer to pay for most things and when I wanted to pay for some of her souvenirs she wouldn’t let me.  I shrugged it off.

            “There will be other girls.”

            “Not like her, man.” Kris shook his head and walked away.

“Then you date her.” I spat at him.

           

            It has been a two weeks since that press conference and 14 days since I have talked to Lys. Our road trip was so boring without her. And I just miss seeing her face. The pictures on my phone are not cutting it anymore. I made a huge mistake. I should have never listened to my agent. I called Kris to tell him.

            “Are you sure she even wants you back now?” he told me.

            “Haven’t you been talking to her?” I asked.

            “Yes I have but we don’t talk about you. I think she’s moved on.”

            “To you?”

            “I don’t know.”

            “Kris, I hope not.” I paused. “I was really starting to fall in love with her.”

“Really?”

 “Yes, and I thought about what you said and our time together and I realized I did offer to pay for things and when she offered I just turned her down.”

            “Call her up and tell her how you feel.”

            “You know she won’t answer my phone calls or my texts.” I told him. “But I’ve got a plan!”

             Friday we had a game against the Carolina Hurricanes but I was more nervous about the game-day interview. I had called Mr. Morrison and made arrangements to make sure Lys was there for that game.  After practice I took my seat and waited for the media to gather around. It was then I spotted her. She looked radiant. I saw her walk over to give Kris a hug before coming back over to me. She just glared at me. I softly smiled at her.

 “I just want to say something before you start asking questions.” I looked into the sea of camera’s and recorders making sure they started recording. “I made a mistake.” Everyone looked more intensely at me. “I did know the girl from the away trip two weeks ago. She is a sweet, fun-loving, caring person and I was wrong to say that she was just using me for my money. I want to apologize to her for how I treated her. I hope that she will be able to forgive me and be my girlfriend because I think I am falling in love with her.” I looked at her when I said the last statement. She had tears falling down her face. I got off the bench and walked over to her. “Lys, I am so sorry, please forgive?” Now all the cameras were turned onto us.

“Sidney, I-I can’t forgive you.” She said. “You hurt me very bad because I was falling in love with you too.” I sighed and looked away.” “But, you must promise me that you will never put our relationship in that stage again.”

“Lys I promise.”

“Yes I will be your girlfriend.” I pulled her into a kiss. I didn’t care if the cameras were on us. It felt like we were the only two in the room.  I just wanted to take her home tonight. When we parted I just looked at her and I could see myself with her for a long time. I was brought back to reality when the flash of lights wouldn’t stop. I decided to take my seat and let questions flow.

“Sidney, why did you lie?”

“My agent told me.”

“Have you lied about other things?”

“No I haven’t.” Soon after did the questions stop and the cameras left. Lys and I were together again. “I am truly sorry for the way I treated you. You deserve so much better.”

“Like me?” I turned around to see Kris.
