Will it be you?- Chapter 24

"So you ready for tonight's game?" LC asks.

"I am," i say.

As it became quiet, LC says," Is Yvette going to be there?"

"I think she is coming, let me text her real quickly," I say as I take my phone out of my pocket as I open it, finding Vette's number, I begin to type
"Are u going to the game?"
I hit send and close my phone.

"We'll find out in a minute if's shes going or not," I say.
As Colby turns onto the main highway to get to Pittsburgh, I feel my phone ringing in my hand.
Opening my phone up I see
"I'm already at the arena with Geno. Are u coming?"
I hit reply and text, we are on our way there. Oh I found out when my first game is,"
Sending it off, I close my phone.

"She's already there," I say.

"Ok, so what are we going to do tomorrow when the boys leave?" LC asks.

"Pack up your things and move into my apartment. It would be the best time,"

"Yeah that's true. So you have no school tomorrow?"

"I only have classes on Tuesday and thrusdays. Tues is the lab and Thrus is the classes until 3,"

"Oh ok,"

15 minutes later, I look out of the window to see Mellon Arena.

"Where should I park Sid?" colby asks.

"In the back parking lot is fine with me," Sid says as Colby turns into the back parking lot and head to a empty space in the back.

"Here good everyone?"Colby asks.

"Yes," LC says as I hear Colby turning off the car.

"Let's head in there," Sid says as I smile.

"Go ahead and get out first aaylah,"Colby says.

"Thanks Army," I say as i open my door up and get out of the car.
Closing the door, i walk to the back as Sid and LC were already there.

"Ladies go ahead of us," Colby says as me and LC go ahead of the boys.

"Wonder what their talking about?" LC says.

"Who nose with those boys," I say as we both laugh.
Walking onto the sidewalk, we stood there as cars pass by.

"Go ahead, Jordan is letting us go," Sid says as I look over and wave to him as we all cross to the other side.

"He was nice t do that," LC says as we head to the backdoor.

"Good afternoon boys. how are you today?" A guard asks as he opens the door.

"Good, thanks. Oh the girls are with us," Colby says.

"Ok, go ahead in and good luck tonight,"he says.

"Thank you,"Sid says.
Walking into the building, it was a little chilly which I didn't mind at all.

"So where are we going first?" LC asks.

"To the lockerroom," Colby say.

"Go ahead of us then," LC says as Colby gets ahead of her as Sidney does the same but infront of me.

"Do you think Vette is in the locker room?" LC asks.

"Knowing her, she probably is since other girlfriends go in there as well," I say.

"Oh ok,"

Looking around, it feels weird to be back here.

"You ladies going in too?" Sidney asks as he opens the door up.

"Sure," LC say as they let us move in first.
Walking in to my surprise, Vette was talking to Vero.

"Hey Vette,Vero," I say as we head over to them.

"Hey girls remember Vero?" Vette asks.

"Yep, how are you today Vero?" I ask as I stand in between Vette and LC.

"I'm doing alright, I'm engaged," Vero says as she shows her hand up.

"Congratsulations Vero," Me and LC say.

"Thanks, I'm so excited for summer now,"

"I bet, so when should we head out?" Lc asks.

"We can now, what seats are you girls in?"

"Section 122. Behide the oppoents net," I say.

"What number?" Vette asks.

"I have row M seat 2," LC says.

"I'm in the same row but seat 3," I say.

"We're all in the same row cause I'm 4 and Vero is one,"

"Nice,"

"Let's go ahead and head out. Bye guys and good luck," Vero, me, Lc and Vette says as I smile seeing Sidney getting changed.

"Bye girls," I hear basically everyone says.
Vero opens the door as we all follow out and turn to the right.

"This is the faster way," Vero says.

As we reach our section, LC stops me and Vette.

"Go ahead in, I need to talk to them," LC says.

"Ok,"Vero says as she heads into the arena.
then I watch as LC pulls out three bracelets.

"Theses are for you two. Yu have been my best friends since I moved to Pittsburgh, so this is a present to say we'll be friends forever," Lc says as she hands me a bracelet with my name on it and had purple small diamonds around it.

"Aww thanks Lauren. Yu are a reallt great friend to me too," I say as I hug her.

"yeah yu are a pretty great friend. Glad you came here instead of Nova Scotia," vette says as shehugs her.

"Aww thanks guys. That means alot to me," LC says as each of us put our bracelets on our left wrists.

"Let's go in and enjoy thegame," I say as we all walk in and found our seats.

"Theses are great seats," LC says as I look out onto the ice.
Even those, we are behide the Rangers net, its still be the best seats in the house.

"Yeah they are. Are you guys ok?" Vero asks.

"Yeah, were good," LC says as the Boys of winter song came on as the lights dim.
As they did, I look at the titan tron above center ice, it is showing clips of all the games so far, which really wasn't many.
Then they show pictures of all the team.
I smile as each one of them come on including Sidney.
Then the stage lights begin moving around.

"Now yor Pittsburgh Penguins!!!"

Standing up, I clap as I see all the guys skating onto the ice.

"Yeah let's go get'em boys!!" LC exclaims as I look at the girls faces, everyone was excited as me.
As a few seconds pass the main players got in a line by center ice as I see Sidney bowing his head down.

"Please rise for the playing of the National anthem and the Canadian National anthem,"
As the National Anthem began, i place my hand over my heart as I look over to the American flag.
I'm glad to have been born in America.
Then as the National Anthem ends, the Canadian National anthem began.
I take my hand off my heart as I place my arms behide my back as I look down at Sidney.
He's head still down, makes me wonder what he is doing.
Then after it ends, I sit down in between Lc and Vette.

"This is going to be a good one girls!!" I say.

"Yep, Kick some butt PENS!!!" LC yells as we all laugh.
I watch as I turn my eyes onto the ice, as the puck drops.

"Get it sid!!" I yell as he grabs it and passes it.
Watching then head up to us, i smile as Geno gots the puck as he passes it to Colby as he shoots it in.

"Yeah baby thats it!!" LC yells as we all stand up.
Then I see Colby scanning the crowd as he blows a kiss to LC.

"Aww that's so sweet," Vero says as we sit back down.
That was so cute as I kept my eyes on Sidney but he head on the benches as Jordan Staal came out to take center.

As the game goes on, we scored 3 more goals. One by Geno and the other two by Sidney.
Then the buzzer goes off.
Penguins won 4 to 2 over the Rangers.

"Yes!!" I say as i stand up and hugging the girls in our victory.

"we won, in your face New York!!" LC says.

"Lets go see our men," Vero says as LC heads out first so I follow her out.
We walk to the back hallway as we turn to the right as we head to the Penguins locker room.

As we walk down, I see Taylor go into the locker room.

"God she's here. Let the annoying begin," LC says as I open up the door.

"Yeah, she's is such a brat," vero says as I let her and the other girls walk in before me as I head in behide them.
Walking in, I see the guys changing.

We then broke up to go visit our guys.
I walk over to where sidney is on the bench taking off his skates.
Quietly, i head over to him as I begin to rub his back, which all he had on was his under shirt and hockeypants.

"Nice job tonight Sidney," I say.
He sits up as he hugs me, bring me down onto his lap.

"Thanks babe,"Sidney says as I hear yelling.

"Your a freakin Slut,Taylor!! You have been sleeping with my own teammate!!"Ryan Whitney yells.

"Uh oh," I say.

"Have not Ryan. I have been faithful to you," Taylor yells.

"Look, does that look like me or my room? NO!!! That's Tyler. I told ya,"

"Your an ass Whitney!!"
Taylor then runs passes all of us as she goes running out of the locker room as Ryan Whitney appears.

"She's a slut. I should have saw that,"
I then look at Tyler Kennedy who was shaking.

"Your not in Trouble rookie, you showed me who she really was, a puck bunny," Whitney says as Max walks out of the locker room
Then a few minutes later, Whitney walks out of the locker room.

"Wow that was just some drama there," colby says as the whole locker room is silent.

"Yea that was," Marc says as I get off of Sidney's lap.

"I'll be back, gotta go change," Sid says as he kiss my forehead as he heads to the back as I walk over to LC.

"She is such a total slut," I say.

"Yeah and I'm glad that she is outta here,"LC says.

"Me too,"
As the guy change, the four of us girls just chat,mostly about what just happened with Taylor.

More time passes as I see Sidney appear in jeans and his penguins jacket and colby was in jeans and a sweater.

"Ready to go girls?" Sidney asks.

"Yep, oh Vette can you pick up LC tomorrow for school? I can't cause of pratice," I ask.

"Sure, i can pick her up. Be ready around 8:30," Vette says.

"Ok,"Lc says.

"Well I'll probably see you tomorrow Vette,so see ya then and I hope to see you too Vero," I say.

"Me too. It was fun hanging out with you gals,"Vero says.

"Bye girls,"LC says as Sidney pushes me.

"Crosby watch it," I say as I turn around.

"movie,movie," Sidney says as it causes me to laugh.

"Ok," i say as me and LC get pushs out the door by the boys.

"Ok your gonna," i say as I turn around and Sid kisses me.

"Your gonna what?"Sid asks as he smiles at me.

"Neither mind, let's hurry home cause I'm tried," I say as we walk down the hall as couples but before we walk out, I seen Max and Taylor making out.
Oh my.
As we head outside, a cold rush of air falls on me.

"It's chilly out here,"LC says as her and colby were head of me and Sid.
Colby moves over to her and hugs her close to him.

"Better?" Colby asks as we head across the less busy street.

"Yes,"

I look over to my left hand as it was interwined with Sidney's fingers, which I didn't think would ever be possible but i didn't even know who he was before Vette got me back into the Penguins.
It was Vette who got me back into the Penguins and into Sidney.
This relationship would have never happened without her.

We then reach the car.

"Who is sitting where?"colby asks as we stop behide the car.
I wanted to tell Lc what I saw.

"Girls in the back," I say.

"alrighty,"Colby says as I walk behide him as I open the door.
I climb into the car as I close the door and buckle up.
As soon as LC got in, Colby began the car up.

"Everyone buckled?"Colby asks as I watch as sid puts his on.

"Yes,"Sidney says as Colby begins to back out.

"guess what I saw on the way out?" I ask.

"What?'LC asks.

"Max and Taylor were making out,"

"Taylor as in the slut?"

"Yes,"

"Oh my god, I can't believe Max would do that,"

"Well he's a pimp like Geno was,"

"Wow,"

"I know,"

As 15 more minutes pass, Colby pulls into the driveway of the Lemieux house.

"We're here," colby says as i hear the engine cut off.
Unbuckling, I get out of the car and shut the door.

"I'm so ready for bed," I say as look around looking at the stars.
It is such a peaceful night out, it reminds me of th nights I slept under the stars with my dad.

"What ya looking at babe?"sidney asks.

"Just at the stars, they remind me of my dad," i say.

"Aww, it's a good night to look at them,"

"yeah but, I'm too tired. Let's go in and go to bed. I have an early morning tomorrow,"

"Ok, you go first,"
I shake myhead as i lead Sid into the house and into his wing.
LC and Colby were on the couch.

I just head to the back.

"Night guys. Be safe," I hear Sidney say as I hop onto the bed as he appeared by the door.

"You that tired?"sid asks.

"Yes," I say as I get under his covers before taking off my shoes.
I see as Sidney shakes off his head as he comes over to me and joins me on the bed.

"Good night Sidney," I say as he wraps his arms around me.

"Good night babe. I love ya," Sidney says.

"love you too Sidney," I say as I turn as he plants a kiss on me.

Then Sidney claps his lights off as I close my eyes.
Opening them, I relize i dont have my cell on me.

"Whats wrong babe?"sid asks as he claps the lights back on.

"I have to go and set my phone alarm," I say as i try to get out of his arms.

"I'll be your alarm clock. What time?"Sid asks.

"7,"

"Ok, now shut you pretty eyes and go to bed,"
I smile as I turn my head back and closed my eyes.

Will it be you?- Chapter 23

I pull up the long driveway of the Lemieux home.
Turning my car as little, I park besides Sidney's range rover as Colby comes and parks beside me on Sid's side.

"Your home," I say laughing as I emerge from the car with myself smiling.
Then I close my door as I seen Sidney coming out of the car before Colby does.

"So are we leaving right now?" I ask as Sid walks over to me.

"Nah, I'm going to see if the kids wanna come,"Sidney says as he kisses my forehead as he runs to the door.

"Where is he going?"LC asks as her and Colby approach me.

"Going to get the kids to come along," I say.

"This is going to interesting," Colby says.
I smile.
I am used to kids any age, so I dont have a problam with them coming at all.
They all are really nice kids, Mario and Nathalie have raised them right.

As a few minutes pass, I watch Sidney coming out with Alexa holding his hand.

"Ready?" Sid asks.

"Yep," I say as we walk in a group heading to the park.

"So how are you today Alexa?" LC asks.

"Good, school was ok. Was yours ok?" Alexa asks.

"Yes, I had a great day," LC says.

"Did you too Aaylah?" Alexa asks.

"Yep I sure did,"I say.

"So what do you want to be when we get to the park Lexa?" Sid asks.

"Going on the swings," Alexa says.

"alright, lets look both ways,"Sid says as we stop at the side of the road.

"Is it good Alexa?" Sid asks.

"Yes,"
We then head across the street and walk on the sidewalk.

"So you going to watch the game tonight Lexa?"Sid asks.

"Yes, you are playing,"
i smile, she really supports Sidney.

the more we walked, the more closer we became.
As a couple minutes pass, I see the big jungle gym coming up.

"Can i go sid?"Alexa asks.

"Yep, stay where I can see you," sidney says as he let go of her hand as she when running.

"She's too cute,"colby says.

"yeah, i gotta get her," sid says as he goes running after her, leaving me with Colby and LC.

"He's going to make a great father someday," Lc says.

"yeah he will be," Colby says.

I watch sidney grabbing Alexa into the air.
He will make a good father expectally to a little girl.
She would be so spoiled with him as her dad.

We walk down the path as we reach the playground.
Sidney is pushing Alexa on the swings

"I'm going to go and hang out with Sid for a bit," I say.

"alright, we'll be on the jungle gym,"
Walking over to the swings, Sid hald a swing out for me as I smile heading over to him.
Sitting down in the swing, he begins to push me.

"Aaylah and Sidney sitting in a tree KISSING,"Alexa sings.

"Lexa, stop. Did your sisters teach you that? they are evil," sid says as he pushes my back to get me going.

"They are funny, Sidney can you push me higher then Aaylah?"

"sure,"sid says with a evil grin on his face.
I then begin to swing as hard as i can as Alexa soon caught up to me.
Sidney is being evil to me today.

"Your not winning," I say as I move faster as I see Colby and LC playing on the slides.
They are such a cute couple.
My legs began to hurt, so I stop moving my legs and let the swing slowly stop.

"You win Alexa,"I say as I use my feet to stop on the gravel under the swing.

"Want to go play on the playground?"Sid asks, Alexa.

"Yeah, can we play tag?"Alexa asks.

"Yep," Sidney says.

"Yay!"
Then Sidney grabs the swing as he slows it to a stop as Alexa gets off and heads to the playground as me and Sid follow her.

"How are we going to play tag on the playground? We ar tall,expectally Army," I say, smiling

"You'll see,"Sidney says with a smile on his face as we walk onto the grounds that the jungle gym was on.

"Hey Colby,LC you wanna play tag?"Sid asks as they came down the slide.

"Sure we'll play, who is it first?"Colby says as I move my eyes on Alexa on the money bars.

"Alexa can't be, so one of us,"Sid says.

"I don't wanna be," I say as I step away.

"Fine, I'll be it first," Sid says.

"Alright," We agree on.

"Alexa come on, we are about to begin and you need to know who is it,"Sid says as I watch her fall from the bars and runs over to us.

"So whoever is it, will give you all 10 seconds to start running,"Sid says.

"Alright, whos it Sidney?"LC asks.

"I am and I'm about to count, 1,2,"Sid began to say as I ran up onto the castle like tower as I wanted to actually hide from him.

"Here I come,"I hear Sid say as i watch him coming my way, so I jump off and onto a brigde to where colby was.

"Tag your it LC,"Sid says.
I turn around as LC came running.
Jumping off the jungle gym, i head to the beginning as I hear " your it Alexa,"
Heading onto the jungle gym again, I run to where Sidney is.

"Where is she?" I ask.

"I don't know," sidney says as i move carefully as I feel a tag.

"Your it Aaylah,"
I've been tagged.

"Your gonna get it Crosby!!" I exclaim as I run after him cause I know he planned Alexas tag on me.
As he jumps, I do to as a fall, I hit the ground as I head for Sidney which is running around.
Soon as i get close to him, I grab him and pull him to the ground.

"Your it Crosby," I say as I get up quickly as I run back to hear sidney right on my tail.
As I reach the playground, I feel him wrap his arms around me.

"Your it," he whispers as he runs off.

"Dang it!" I yell as I head for the one person who hasnt been it, Army.
As I walk around, i see his leg out, so I jump up and hit him.

"Your it Armstrong," I say as I go running.

15 minutes later

"We're done," Sidney says as he was wiped out from the tag game.

"Yeah, what time is it?" Colby asks.

I watch as Sid looks at his watch.

"5:03, oh wow we better head back to the house to change, and Army you better get to your house to change," Sidney says.

"It's dinner time," Alexa says as she grabs Sidneys hand as we begin to head back.

"Yeah, what time are we suppose to be there?"Army asks.

"6:45 at the latest," Sid says as I walk beside him.

"Alright, then I have enough time to change,"

"Stay here with me baby, you are going to get sweaty either way,"LC says.

"Alright, I'll stay, so are we all piling into the car to the game or 2 different ones?" Colby asks.

"If you can take us back here, then you can pile into your car. Thats fine," Sidney says.

"Alright, since I'm coming back here anyways, I can do that,"

"alright,"

4 more minutes of walking, we cross the road to walk into the Lemieux driveway as Mario is outside about to get in his car.

"Hey,"Mario says as we greets up.

"Daddy,"Alexa says as she runs over to him.

"Hi princess, how was the park with Sid and Colby?"

"Fun, I had fun,"

"Good, you ready for some dinner?"

"Yes,"

"Go get in the car,"
I smile as I watch Alexa walk into the garage to the car.

"Thanks for taking her to the park guys. She will sleep well tonight. I will see you later on. Go get them tonight Sidney,"
Smiling again, this time for sid.

"Thank you. Have a good dinner,"Sid says.

"Alright, see you later,"
Mario walks off as we all head to the front door, as Sid opens it.
I follow him in as we head to his wing.

"Oh can you get me on your Email Sid?"I ask as he opens the door to his wing.

"Oh yeah, follow me,"Sid says as we walk in and head striaght back to his room.
As I follow him, he pulls out a laptop as he sets it on the bed.

"It should load in a bit, I can't wait to see when your first game is,"Sid says as he smiles at me as he logs into his computer then his email.
I get beside him as he scrolls through.

"I got a few from my younger sister, Taylor. Hmm let me read this one real quick. It's from my mom,"Sid says.

"Go ahead, thats fine," I say.
I watch as he opens the Email, which i turn my head a little bit cause i didnt want to inved his privacy.

"My parents and sister are coming in next week," sid says.

"Aww," I say.
Sidney wraps his arms around me, knowing I might be crying.

"It's alright babe,"
I let a tear roll down my face.
Sidney has both of his parents and a sister and I have no one but my dump cousin in Columbus.
A few minutes in his arms, I am alright as I sit up.

"Let's see my schedule now, "I say.
I know me making it on a hockey team, my parents are smiling down on me.

"Ok babe,"
I watch as he clicks on a email as it pops up, my schedule.
My first game is this Saturday 4 o'clock at Southpointe rink.

"Babe, I'll be at your first game. I'm off that day,"Sidney says as I hug him.
Im so thankful to have him in my life.

"Alright, so are you changing?" I ask him as he was wearing one of his shirts and jeans.

"Nah, I'll get sweaty all over again tonight but, I might take a shower now and change. Yeah Ill do that,"
I laugh as Sid walks over to his drawer as he gets his clothes.
Then he walks over to me.

"I'll be out in a few, you can use my room to change,"Sidney says.

"Ok,"I say as he walks out and closes the door behide him.

Walking over to my bag, I pick it up as I head back over to the bed as I put the bag there.
As I open the bag, I pull out a pair of jeans and my jersey that Vette gave me.
Smiling, I change from my older jeans and sweater into my new jeans and jersey.
Putting my dirty clothes into the bag, I zip it back up and grab it in my hand as i open the door.
I see LC sitting with Colby on the couch.

"Where are you going?" LC asks.

"Going to put my bag in my car, all i have in it is dirty clothe," I say.

"No they are clean," I hear Sidney say.
Sitting my bag down, I open it up to reveal that he was right.

"Thanks sidney," I say.

"Your welcome,"
Then a door shuts as I turn around to see that it wasn't his room door as I pick the bag up and head back to his room and set it down in the same place as I head up front.

"My first pratice is tomorrow morning at 7:30 at Southpointe," I say as I sit on the couch.

"Who is taking me to school tomorrow?"LC asks.

"I'll ask Vette to take you when we see her tonight and I'll pick up you from school around 1,"

"When's your first game?" Colby asks.

"Saturday at 4,"

"I can come to see you play,"

"Yeah your off that day," I say.

"Yep, maybe we can get some player to come too," Colby says.

"Not the first game Colby," I say.

"Ok, I understand,"
As we sit there, I hear the door open as I lean back to reveal Sidney in some jeans and a penguins sweater on.

"I'll be up in a minute," Sidney says as I stand up from off the chair.

"Ready for the game?" Colby asks us.

"Yeah," LC and myself say as I see Sidney coming out.

"I'm ready," Sidney says.

"Let's get moving then," LC says as I walk over to the door as I walk out first.

"You two tried from earlier?" LC asks as we walk from Sidneys wing to the front door.

"Nah, we'll be fine," Sidney says as I open the front door.
Going down the steps, I wait for Sid as we let Colby get head of us.

"Whats seating arrangements?" Sidney asks.

"Doesn't matter to me," Colby says.

"We'll sit in backseat," LC says as she looks at me.

"Alright," colby says as we arrive to his car.

"Which side Aalyah?"Lc asks.
Since i wanted to Sid.

"Left," I say.

"ok,"

Walking behide Colby, I open my door as i get into the car.
Getting settled in, I buckle up as everyone else does the same.

"Everyone buckled?" Colby asks as he begins the car up

"Yes," LC says as Colby slowly backs out and heads to the driveway end as he turns right to the Mellon Arena.

Will it be you?- Chapter 22

Opening my eyes, I turn and look at Sidney sleeping beside me.
His arms were still around me as I bend was back to see that it was 7:30 and if I was going to school today, I need to get up now.
I then try to get out of Sidney's arms but he had a strong grib on me.

"Sidney,"I say as I move him.
He didn't move so, I lean down and kiss his big beauiful lips.
He's eyes pop open.

"That was a nice wake up call,"Sidney says as he kisses me back.

"I needed you to let me go, i gotta change for my class, cause i'm going to go back this morning,"I say.
Sidney then releases his grip as I move the covers and get out of the bed.

"You want me to drive you?"Sid asks.

"No, I can drive with Yvette, if she's still here,"I say as I open the door and walk out into the living room.

"Your up,"Vette says as I see LC sitting beside her as they both are dressed.

"Did you go home this morning?"I ask.

"Yeah, I had to change, so are you going to school?"Vette asks.

"Yeah, i gotta change. now where is that, oh in Sidney's room,"
I turn around and head back into Sid's room as he was getting up.

"Just have to grab my bag,"I say as I head out.

"You can change in here. I'm going out,"Sidney says.

"You sure?"I ask.

"Yeah babe,"
He kiss my forehead as he walks out closing the door behide him.
Breathing, I pick up my bag as I carry it over to Sidney's unmade bed.
Sitting it down, i unzip it as i pull out a pair of jeans and a sweater.
I then pull out my flip flops as i put them onto the floor.
I then change from my Pj's bottoms and shirt as I change into the jeans and a purple sweater.
Then i put my Pj's in and zip it up.
Slipping on my flip-flops, i walk back over to the door as I set it down and open the door.
I then do my hair right in the door way as I kneel down and grab my keys and cell from out of the bag.
Walking up front, Yvette stood up as LC follows her.

"Ready?"LC asks.

"Yep, let's go now so I can show you around. Bye sid,"i say as I kiss him as i follow Vette and LC out of sidney's wing.

"Bye babe, have a great day in school. Ohwait babe"Sid says as I stop.

"What?"I ask as he walks over to me.

"I got you a tryout for 2 this afternoon at Southpointe,"
i look at him.

"Really?"

"Yep,"
I walk over to him and give him a kiss.

"I can't believe you Sidney. Thank you,"I say.

"your welcome babe,"

"i gotta run, thanks again Sid and i love ya,"

"Love you too babe,"

We then begin to walk for the door.

"I can't believe he did that,"Vette says.

"Neither can I but sid is always a nice guy,"LC says.

"So what are driving arrangements?"Vette asks as LC unlocks the door for use to go out, since no one has left the house yet.

"Well, since i'm going to give LC a tour before hand, me and her and ride together,"I say.

"Alright, see you in class Aaylah. Bye Lc,"Vette says as she heads to her purple car.

"So am I driving or you and what car?"LC asks.

"We have to take my car cause it has a pass on it and I'll drive,"I say as we walk over to my black BMW.

"Alrighty,"LC says as we walk over to my car.
Taking my keys out, i unlock the door as I unlock it.

"You can get in LC,"I say as I open my door to get in.
I then begin the car up and buckle up as LC does the same.

"So how is this school?"LC asks as i look behide me as I back out and head for the 22 minute ride to CCAC.

"This is a very good school, I love it and been there for two full years and on my third,"I say.

"And your 19?"

"Yep, i went early cause I was smart enough to get my first year while in high school,"

"Oh ok, so what are you taking?"

"Childhood Education. I love it but I hate my normal classes, which I take tomorrow. I get half days off, so in lab for half day then the next day in the afternoon is my normal classes for half day,"

"Can I do that?"

"Not until you are in your third or fourth years,"

"Oh got ya. What year is Yvette in?"

"Her second, she is a year behide me,"

"Oh ok."

As the ride goes on me and LC chat some more as I turn into the student parking lot of the school.

"We are here,"I say as I turn and park beside Vette's purple durango.

"alright,"LC says.
I pull my keys out as i get out of the car.
I place the keys into my pocket as me and LC head up to the building.

"Ready?"I ask.

"Yeah,"LC says.
I open the door and let her go in first then I follow her.

"Wow, where is the office at?"LC asks.

"Follow me,"I say as we walk down the hall as I point to the office that took over one side of the building.

Then the bell rings.

"I'll see you later LC. Good luck,"I say as I walk out of that building and head for the preschool building, which was a few buildings aways.
As I reach it, I open the door.

"Ms. Aaylah!!"Ryan exclaims.

"Ryan, its good to see you buddy,"I say as I kneel down to his level and hug him.

"I missed you,"Ryan says as i stand me.

"Me too buddy, lets go sit back down so we can start our day,"I say as I grab his hand and walk him back over to the carpet as I stood up in the back of the class as Vette is doing our announcements.
Before they were over, I watch as my teacher Ms.Jackson walking over to me.

"Are you ok?"She whispers to me, not to disturb the children.

"I'm alright, right now. I just was gone due to personal reasons. I'm sorry,"I whisper back to her.

"Your alright, just good to see you back,"
She pats my back.

"It's good to be back,"
I smile as vette conclued the morning or circle time as we call it.

"Now let's go do some activties,"Vette says as the children spread out and head to different stations as Ryan runs over to me.u

"What is it buddy?'I ask.

"Play cars with me,"Ryan says with that big smile of his.

"I'll love too,"
I walk over to the open space as no other children were over here.
I watch as Ryan pulls down car box as he walks over to me.

"I'm this one,"ryan says as he picks out a car that was blue.
I grab for the purple one.

"I'm this one, ready to race?"I ask as I set my car down onto the carpet track.

"Yeah,"

"Ok on three we will take off. 1,2,3,"
ryan began to run the whole track as i follow him.
I didn't want to win but I always try though.

"I won!!"Ryan exclaims.

"You did. you beat your teacher,"I say as I high five him.

A few minutes later, I get up from off of the floor as I watch as Mr.Meyer walks in with LC.
She must have told him that I was in here.
I stand up from off the floor as I watch them both walk into here.

"I'll be right back Ryan,"I say as i head over to Lc.

"Hello Mr.Meyers,"I say.

"Hello Ms.Thomason, How are you today?"Mr. Meyers asks.

"alright, I see that someone is visiting,"

"Oh yes, this is Lauren Crosby, she just registered here and is visiting around,"

"So you wanted to see where i work at LC?"I ask,smiling

"Sure,"LC says.

'LC?"Mr. Meyers asks.

"She is a friend of mine and thats her nickname,"I say.

"Ah ok, can you take her to her lab after she tours around yours Ms.Thomason?"

"Yes sir,"

"Thank you, I hope you like our school Lauren,"Mr.Meyers says as he walks out of the room.

"So this is where you work at?"LC asks as we walk into the preschool.

"Yep,"I say.

"Ms.Aaylah, come here please,"I hear Ryan say.

'Come on,"I say to LC as we walk over to where Ryan was and Jake is pushing him.

"Move!!,"Jake exclaims.

"Jake," I say as I move in and grab hia arm, not very forcefully.

"Why are you pushing Ryan?"I ask.

"He stole my spot,"Jake says.

"He was here before you. I need you to apoigze to Ryan, Jake,"
Jake turns around to face Ryan.

"Sorry," Jake says.

"Good job, can you both play on the carpet, without yelling?"
Ryan smiles as him and Jake go over to the carpet.
Ismile as I walk back over to LC.

"You handled that well, you'll make a great parent,'LC says as my eyes are on Ryan and Jake.

"I just love children, they just put a smile on my face even when I'm in the worst moods,"I say

"Yeah,"

After a few more minutes, I give LC the entire tour of the preschool, including the infant and toddler area.

"That was a fantastic tour,"LC says.

"Thanks, let me take you to your lab, let me go tell Ms.Jackson real quickly," I say as I walk over to the carpet.
Tapping Ms. Jackson's shoulder, she turns around.

"I got to run our visitor to her lab," I whisper not to wake up the children.

"Alright," Ms. Jackson says as I head back over to the door.

"Come on," I say quietly as we walk out of the preschool.

"They are so cute,"LC says as we head to the otherside of the campus.

"They are, i love them all," I say.

"You'll make a great mother someday,"

"Thanks, so what of the campus did Mr. Meyer show you?"

"Only the main or classroom building, nothing else,"

"Alrighty, your building in such a far walk from mine,"

"Yeah I know. So you excited about your tryout after school?"

"Yeah, I can't believe Sidney did that,"

"He loves you. I know he does, just like you love him,"
I blush.

A few minutes of talking, we arrive to her building.

"Have fun in your lab," I say.

"Thanks, yu do the same. Where are we going to meet at after labs?" LC asks.

"At my car is fine,"

"Alright, bye,"
I watch as she enters her building with mutiple units.
Hope she finds her building as I turn and head back to the daycare/preschool.
Walking back into the preschool, they were still sleeping as I take my duty to watch them.

After a few more hours, I watcj as Ryan drove off with his father.

"We're done," Ms. Jackson says to all of us.
I smile as I walk back into the building as I grab my purse as i head back out with Vette behide me.

"Bye Ms. Jackson," I say as I hug her.

'Bye Aaylah,Yvette. See you on Thrusday,"Ms. Jackson says.
We walk across to the student parking lot.

"So you enjoy being back to see the kids?"Vette asks.

"Yeah I do. I missed then alot while I was gone," I say.
Vette smiles.
"So where are you heading to now?"
I grab my phone from out of my purse as I flip it open to see the time.
It is 1:35.
"To Southpointe,"

"Oh thats right your tryout. I wish I could go but I can't,"

"It's alright girl. I know you'll be rooting for me,"
Heading to the cars, I take out my keys as i head over to my car.
I unlock it.

"I will be,"
I smile.

"Call me once you find out if you made it or not,"

"You know i will,"

"See ya later on Aaylah,"
Vette hops into her durango as I see LC heading over here.
I get into my car as she opens the door and gets in as well.

"How was your first day?"I ask as I began my car up.

"It was nice, I loved it," LC says.

"I'm glad,"
I pull out of my parking place as I head to Southpointe.

"Me too, you excited for your tryout?"

"I'm getting nervous about it, I've only been playing for 3 weeks,'
LC pats my shoulder.

"You'll be awesome. I just know it,"

"Thanks LC,"

35 more minutes of driving and i pull into a semi packed parking lot.

"Guess we'll be walking," I say as I pull into a parking place that is near the back row of parking spots.

"It's alright," LC says.

Turning off my car, i hop out of my car.
Walking to the back, I unlock the trunk as it opens up.
Grabbing my hockey bag, I close the door and begin to walk to the building.
I have never had a tryout before, so my nerves are all over me.

"You'll be fine Aaylah," LC says.

"I have never tryed out for anything before," I say as we head to the building.

"You will be ok. tryouts aren't very bad. I've been through one and got on the team. I know you'll be on your first team,"
I hug her as we are by the front doors.

"Thanks LC," I say.

"Your welcome. You ready?" LC asks as she grabs the door.
I breathe in and out.

"Yeah,"
She opens the front door as I walk in.

"Hey there Aaylah," mark says as I walk up to the desk.

"Hey Mark, do you now where the tryouts for a woman hockey team?"I ask.

"Yes, for the Tigers? Thats the only team around her thats womens, their tryouts are in the big rink where the Penguins pratice,"

"Thank you Mark. See you later,"
I begin to walk to the back rink, getting more nervous along the way.

"You'll be fine Aaylah,"LC says.

"I know but I can't help it,"I say.
Walking into the bigger rink, there was woman lined up on the ice.
I walk over as I turn to see LC laying back.

"Hello there, you here for the tryouts?" an older woman asks.

"Yes, I'm Aaylah Thomason,"I say.

"Alright, get your skates on and head on out,"she says.
I nod as I walk into the benches area.
Taking a few deep breathes, I take off my flip-flops as I unzip my bag.
Pulling out my skates, I place my shoes in there.
Taking off my skate guards, i place them in the bag too as I zip it up.
Putting on my skates, I look back to LC as I wave her up.
She heads over.

"Yeah?'LC asks.

"Can you take my bag?"I ask as I stand up from the bench.

"Sure, good luck,"
I hand her the bag as I smile.

"Thanks,"
I watch as some girl was trying out.

"Here you can use this stick," the woman before says.

"Thanks,"I say taking the stick in my hand as I head onto the ice.
As each girl goes, the more nervous I became.
They were good.

"And our last tryout, Aaylah Thomason,"she says.
I breath as i head onto center ice as they instude me what to do.
I did everything in a few minutes as I skate to a stop by the coaches.

"Thank you. We will post the results in one hour by the front desk,"a coach says.
I skate off as I see Sidney standing there clapping.
He walks over to me as he hugs me.

"You did an awesome job, babe,"Sidney says.

"Thanks. I can't believe you came,"I say.

"I was going to miss your tryout. You'll make the team. you were so good,"
I shake my head at him.

"What?"Sidney asks as i kiss him.
As I look behide me, LC just stood there with my bag.

"Where is Colby?"I ask.

"He's in the stands, he will suprise,"Sid says as I hear a scream.
Sidney turns around as we see Colby arms around LC.
I smile.

They walk over to us as everyone began to leave around us.

"You wanna skate?" Colby asks.

"I can't,"LC says.

"Come in, I'll teach ya. Let's go grab some skates. We'll be back,"Colby says as LC places my bag down as they head out to the front.

"You want to pratice some?"Sidney asks,smiling.

"You don't have any skates?"I says as he walks over to a counter and pulls out his hockey bag.

"Yeah i do,"
He smiles atme as I smile back.

"Lace them up Crosby," I say as I head onto the ice as I grab the stick I used earlier.
I threw the puck as i pratice a bit before Sid hops ont the ice.

"You ready?" Sid asks as he comes over to me.

"We can't play one on one,"I say.

"Come on, we can,"

"Ok,"
As I find the puck, I got after it as I grab it, I take it around the net as I scored.

"Haha,'I say as Sidney pulls it out as LC and Army comes onto the ice.

"You have half of the rink,"Colby says.

"Alright, now what Sid?" I say.
He drops his stick and gloves as he walks over to me as he places his arms around me as we begin to skate in sync.

"We can do the whole rink Colby, we can't play one on one with one net,"Sid says.

"Alight, now try to skate,"Colby says as we skate pass them with LC trying her hardest to skate.

I lean back onto Sid as we skate around the ice.
As more time passes, I look up at the clock as i pass it.
3:30, its been over and hour.

"Sid, let's go see if I made the team," I say.

"alright babe,"Sid says as me and him stop and get off the ice.
As we do, Colby skates passed.

"going to find out if you made it?"Colby asks as LC was skating on her own.

"Yeah," I say as I change from my skates to my flip-flops.

"Ok,"Colby says as he skates back to LC.
After changing shoes, I stand up as I see Sidney walks over to me.

"Ready"Sid asks as he takes my hand.

"Ready as I'll ever be," I say as her interwines my hand with his.
We head up front, the more closer we got, the more nervous I became.
As we reach the front desk, I couldn't look.

"Whats wrong babe?"Sid asks.

"Look for me, please," I say, nervously.
He smiles at me as he lets go of my hand as he walks up.

"Aaylah, you made it baby!" Sidney says as he wraps his arms around me to pick me up.

"Oh my god," I say as he sets me down as he takes my face into his hands as he kisses me.
He puts me down.

"Let's go tell them," I say as now I interwine my fingers with Sid's
We turn and head back.

"I can't believe I made the team in my first tryout,"

"I'm glad you did babe,"
He kisses my forehead as we head into the pratice rink.
as we get closer, I see Colby and LC kissing in center ice.

"Hey guys!" I exclaim as they quickly stop kissing.

"So did you make it?"LC asks as she speeds over to me and Sid with Army behide her.

"Yeah I did,"

"Yay!! I told you that ya'll be good and you made the team. Congrat girl!!!" LC says as she steps off the ice hugging me.

"Thanks, i'm glad you were here with me," I say.
She just smiles as she walks to the side as Colby hugs me too.

"Good job Aaylah. You deserve to be on this team,"Army says.

"Thanks Army," I say.
He smiles as he follows LC.

"Oh I gotta call Yvette," I say, forgetting my phone was in the car in my purse.

"Here you can use my phone," Sidney says as he pulls out his cell phone.

"Thanks Sid," I say grabbing the phone and kissing his forehead.
Walking away, I open his phone to see, I think is his family on the background of the phone.
So cute that he thinks about his family.
Then I dial Vette's cell phone number.

"Hello who is this?" Vette asks.

"Hey Vette it's Leah. I made the team!"I exclaim.

'Oh my god, congrats Ms. Hockey player. When do you begin?"Vette asks.

'I dont know but I'm excited,"

"I bet you are. Oh I can't wait for your first game,"

"Me neither,"
I could hear Vette was smiling,odd.

"So who's cell are you on? cause it came up as unknown,"

"It's Sidney's. Mine is in the car, so he let me use his,"

"Oh alright, I gotta run Evgeni is here,"

"Alright say hi for me,"

"I will, do the same for Sid,"

"Well do bye,"
Closing up the phone, I walk back over to Sid as colbyand LC were changed into normal shoes.

"Hey babe," I say to Sid as I hug him.

"That's from Vette,"I say.
He hugs me back.

"Thats for her back,"Sid says.
I smile.

"Who is on your phone?" I ask.

"My family, well my mom,dad, and Taylor,"Sid says.

"It's very cute,"

"Thanks babe,"

"So you want to go to the mall to celebrate Aaylah for making the team?" LC asks, all smiling.

"Sure why not," I say as Sid and Colby agree too.
I then walk away from Sid's side as I walk over to the bench.
Grabbing my bag, I head back over to the group as Sid already has his bag

"So what are driving arrangements, me and Lc in my car and Sid and Aaylah in her's or boys in one and the girls in the other?"Army asks.

"I want Sidney with me," I say.

"Alright," Colby says as we begin out way out of the rink.
Before I pass the front door I hear "Congrats Aaylah," from Mark.
Sid and myself stops as I turn around.

"Thanks Mark," I say as I turn around and begin walking out of the rink.

"What mall are we going too?"I ask, so I know where I'm heading too.

"The one that Nat took us too," LC says.

"Alright, we'll meet you thee, "I say as our couples when in different ways.

"Where did you park at?" Sid asks as we pass cars.

"In the back, didn't have enough room up front," I say.

"Ok,"
We move through more cars as we approach my black BMW car.
Taking out my keys, I pop open the trunk.

"Set your bag in there," I say as I sit mine in there.
Sid smiles as he did.
He shuts it as I head to my side, inlocking the door.

"Go ahead Sid," I say as i get into the car.
As I buckle up and begin the car as Sidney gets into the car.
As I watch him buckle up, I back out of my parking spot and head to the main road.

"Im proud of you babe," Sid says.

"Thanks, I'm proud too. I just hope Iwont be away from you long," I say.

"You will but, we can make it work,"

"Yeah we can, so yo readyfor your game tonight?"

"Yeah, we're gonna win, so what mall are we going too?"

"The North Shore mall,"

"All ok before i forget,"
I look at Sid as Iam ate a stop sign.
He pulls out a ticket.

"Thanks,"
I smile.

"Your welcome, I might make you a season ticket holder,"
I smile again.

"Yeah, so true. Can you put it in my purse on the floorboard?"

"Yeah babe,"
I begin to go again as I turn right heading for Pittsburgh.

"So what ya doing tomorrow? i'm off tomorrow unless I get a schedule," I say.

"Just pratcing and flying out tomorrow night. We have a game on Thrusday in New Jersey,"

"Alright, I wish I could go with you tomorrow to Jersey but I have classes on Thrusday,"

"Aww that stinks babe but, I'll call you,"

"Alrighty sounds good to me,"
as I let my right hand off thewheel, Sid grabs it with his. I smile.

30 minutes after leaving Southpointe, I pull into the North Shore mall parking lot.

"Are they here yet?"I ask as I turn off my car.

"I don't know,"Sidney says.

"Can you hand me my purse?"
Sid smiles as he picks up my purse.

"Here babe,"

"Thanks,"
It as we both get out of the car.

"I don't see Army's car,"Sid says as we walk over to the sidewalk.

"Let's go wait on them,"

"Alright babe,"
Sidney laces his fingers with mine as we head to the mall.

"Should you diguse?"

"Nah, they wont bug us,"

"Ok,"
We then walk into the mall as we see Lc and Colby standing inside of the door.

"Where have you two been?"LC asks,motherly.

"Doesn't matter, mother,"Sid says as all four of us began to laugh.

"Before we eat, can I take Aaylah with me for a few. I need her advice on something,"LC asks.

"Sure but bring her back alive,"Sid says.
Lc then hits Sid on his head.

"I will, now go meet us at the food court in 20 minutes,"LC says as we head in a different direactions.

"You and Sid are so like brother and sister," I say as we turn and walk into a jelwey store.

"I know, we acted like this since we were younger, so,"

"So what are we doing in here?"

"Just picking out a few bracelets,"
I follow her over to the countier.

"May I help you with anything?"A woman asks.

"Yes can I see some of your bracelets?"LC asks as the lady pulls out a few of very nice ones.
LC looks at them and then me.

"Can she see some of your necklaces?"LC asks.

"Yes,"
I walk down to the other side of the counter as she pulls some out as she has back over to LC.
Seeing a Penguins pedent, it looks so awesome but I wouldn't be caught with a necklace around my neck since the passing of my father in 2002.

"You ready to head to meet the boys?"LC asks.
I turn around as I see that she has bought something.

"Yes, thank you," I say as we head out.

"What did you get?"

"A little something for Colby,"
LC smiles.

"Aww,"
We then head downstairs as we walk into the food court, not seeing the boys.

"Where are they?"I ask.
Then someone covers my eyes.

"Guess who?"
I smile.

"Sidney,"I say.

"No try again," he says in a different accent.
Removing his hands off my eyes, I turn around to see them smile as Colby was doing the samething with LC.

"What do you ladies want to eat?"Colby and Sid ask together.

"I want some chicken,"LC says.
They then look at me.

"Chinese food,"I say.

"That's better,"LC says.

"Let's head on over then,"Sidney says as we walk into the count as people were just looking at us.

"You want us to order a comdo meal with everything, so youcan go sit down?"Sid asks.

"Yeah,"I say as me and LC head over to the table as sid and Colby got the food.

"People are staring at us," I say.
I hate people staing down at me.

"Ingore them,"LC says as we sit at a back table.
I sit down on one side of the booth as LC sat on the otherside.

"So what did you get colby?" I ask.

"Just a bracelet thatI think he'll like. Did you get yur hockey schedule?"LC asks,

"No, not yet. they'll probably send it to my apartment, speaking of that I have move back in there instead of staying with Sid,"

"Yeah, I understand why you would want to be away from him,"
We then laugh.

"Naw, I can't be away from him long but I just have to go back and live my life in my apartment,"

"Yeah,"

"You know the team is leaving tomorrow for New Jersey?'

"No, why?'

They have a game. It stinks cause I can't go and neithe can you cause we have classes on Thrusday that we can't miss, well I can't miss them,"

"Yeah, I'll miss Colby so much when he heads out tomorrow and Sid too,"
As she says that, they boys set the trays down on the table as they sat in their spots.

"So this ok?"Sid asks as he passes out the forks and Colby the drinks.

"Yeah, thanks,"I say as I kiss his shoulders as I take a sip of the water Colbygot.

"We all got water,"Colby says.

"It's alright,"
We then dug into the "buffet".

After 20 minutes, I set my fork down.

"Thanks for the meal guys," I say.

"It is atleast we can do for our women,"Colby says as he kiss LC.
I smile.

"Let's get outta here,"Sid says as he moves out of the booth.

"Where are we going now?"I ask as Sid leans me a hand.
I take it as he pulls me out.

"Um how about we go to the park near the Lemieuxs house? We can drop off the cars and walk up there,"Sid says.

"Sounds good,"I and LC say as we head out of the mall, hand in hand with our men.

"So we are going to drop off the cars at the Lemieuxs then walk, right?"Colby asks.

"Yes, Army," Sidney says as we all smile.

"Ok, we'll just follow you guys,"Colby says.

"Alright,"I say as we split up again as I head over to my car.
I then take out my keys as I unlock the door.

"Go ahead Sid,"I say as I get into the car as Sid gets into the passinger seat.
Buckling up, I began the car up.

"Who paid for lunch?" I ask as I back out.

"I did,"Sidney says as he smiles.

"Put this on the floorboard please?"
Sid takes my purse and sets it on the board as I look back to reverse out of my parking place as I turn it and head to Sewickley.

"So you going to stay with me tonight?"Sid asks.

"Probably since you'll be traveling on Wednesday. I'll stay at my apartment on Wednesday night. Can I invited LC to stay with me?"I ask.

"Yeah, I'm sure she would love to stay with you instead of me,"

"But your her cousin, thats older,"
Sidney smiles as I hear my cell phone going off.

"Get that for me,"
I keep my eyes on the road as I see Sidney getting my phone out of the corner of my eye.

"Want me to answer it?"

"Yeah,"

"Hello, This is Sidney, Aaylah's boyfriend. Who is this? Oh hi, yeah she is near but she is currently driving. Alright I'll tell her thank you,"Sidney says.

I stop at a red light as I turn to him.

"Who was that?"I ask.

"Coach Ginger, your coach. She wanted me to tell you that she will be mailing your schedule out through E-mail,"Sidney says.

"Your email?" I ask as i began to move again.

"Yeah, you can send it to yourself when we get to the Lemieux's, well after we go to the park,"

"Alright,"
I smile as again Sidney grabs my hand as we head to "his" home.

Will it be you?- Chapter 21

After awhile of sitting, I look down to see that we have been sitting up here for awhile.

"You wanna head back to the Lemieux or stay here?"sidney asks.

"Let's head back. They are probably worrying about us,"I say.
Sidney gets up as he puts his hand out to me.

"Thank you,"

"Your welcome,"
Sidney keeps my hand in hes as we walk to the safe side of the railing as we head down the sidewalk to his range rover.
He lets go of my hand and open the door for me.

"Thank you Sid,"I say as I get into the car as he closes the door.
I watch as he walks around to the other side as i put my seatbelt on.
He gets into the car as he places the key in for it start up.

"Did you enjoy my little surprise?"Sidney asks as he began to drive off.

"Yes, it's just want I needed,"I say as I grab his hand from off his lap and interwined our fingers together.

"I'm glad it was. I also have another surpirse for you when we get back to the Lemieux's house,"

"Sidney,"

"I wanted to do my next surprise for you and you might like it,"
I just smile at him as Sidney's cell phone began to ring.

"Darn it. Im not answering that while I'm driving,"Sidney says about his cell was under his radio.
Letting his hand go, I reach for it.
Opening i say"Hello,"

"Aaylah, it's LC, where is Sid at?"LC asks.

"He is driving, so I'm answering. What do you need?"

"Are you on your way here? We are getting worried about you and Sid,"

"We are coming back now,"

"Alright, bye,"
I close the phone and put it back.

"LC?"Sid asks.

"Yep, she was getting worried about us,"I say.

"You were right they did worry,"
I smile.

24 minutes Sidney pulls into the driveway of the Lemieux's house.

"Looks like Geno and Yvette are still here,"I say as I see Vette's purple Durango.

"Yeah,Let's go in,"Sidney says.
we let each other's hand go as I open my door and climb out of the rover.
Walking behide it, Sid was standing there to greet me as he grabs my hand as we head for the door.
Sidney opens the door and lets me go in first.

"Is anyone even here?"I asks as sidney grabs my hand again.

"Let's go to my wing, I got a surpise for you,"

"Oh no, Sidney you didn't have to get me anything,"
We then walk to his door as he opens it.

"Go ahead in,"Sid says.

"Alright,"I say.
I walk into the room as everyone came out saying
"SURPRISE!!!!!!"

Everyone was there as I see Sidney smiling.

"You planned this?"I ask as he was smiling.

"No, LC this morning,"Sidney says.

I walk over to her.

"Thank you, Lauren,"I say as I hug her.

"Your welcome, now let go have some fun,"Lc says as she grabs my hand as we walk over to the living room area.
The Xbox 360 was up.

"What are we playing?"I ask as i sit down on the couch as LC sits on my left side.

"NHL 08,"Colby says as I watch as Sidney walks in and sits by me as Vette was beside him.
Geno sat beside colby and LC.

"Ok,"I say as we all grab a controller.

"You pick your two teammates Aaylah,"LC says.

"Girls versus boys,"I say, smiling.

"Alrighty. Lets kick some butt girls,"Vette says as I move down the screen and pick the Penguins.

"You can't pick our team,"Colby says.

"Well we are,"LC says as she sticks her tongue out as I begin to laugh.

"what team guys?"Sidney asks.

"Jackets alright?"Colby asks.
I watch as Sidney moves to the jackets icon and click.
Then I watch as the game began as i knew i was in the center.

"Sid you faceoff?"Geno asks.

"Yeah, lets kick some butt men,"Sidney says.
That cause me to laugh.
I then hit the button as i pass it on to whoever.

"Come on,"Vette says.
Then I watch as I got the puck again and I hit the blue button as it when in.

"Yes,"I say as LC,Vette and myself hit hands.

"Man, Sid they scored on us with you,"Colby says.

"We'll get them back.

As the game gets to the end, I score again but this time with Colby.

"Yes, girls 6 to the boys 3,"LC says.
Sidney is smiling, so he much be liking this.

"A minute to go, lets kick some boy butt,"LC says as we began the faceoff.
Vette wins the faceoff and passes it to LC as she passes it to me as I round the net and hit it in.

"Yes, we won,"I say as me,LC,and Vette get off the couch and slap hands with one another.

"Man we lost to a video game to our girlfriends,"Colby says.
He must really hate that his own girlfriend beat him.

"So now what are we going to do?"I ask as I lay back on Sidney as he kisses my forehead.

"Let's play again then we'll enjoy a movie until we are tired,"LC says.

"Sounds like a nice plan there,"Geno and Vette say at the sametime.

"Let's get at it,"I say.

"Boys and girls again or switch up teams?"LC asks.

"Let's switch them,"Colby says.

"Aaylah pick two teammates,"Lc says.

"Sidney and Colby, let's see if I can do better with the boys,"I say.

"Then Geno and Vette your on my team, we get penguins since you got them last game,"LC says, as she smiles.

"Fine by us, what team Aaylah?"Colby asks as we all moved around, so we had our teammates by us.

"Team Canada,"I say.

"Alright, I like her,"Colby says as I smile as he pats Sid on his back from behide me.

"I like her too,"Sid says as he places his hand on my thigh.
He smiles.

Then the game came on.
I was in center cause i'm the blue icon.
I then pause it.

"Who are what colors this time?"I ask.

"I'm red,"LC says.

"Green,"Geno says.

"Yellow,"Colby says.

"Orange,"Vette says.

"Purple,"Sid says, blushing.
"Ok thanks,"I say as I unpause it as I was faceing off against LC.

"Your going down Aaylah,"LC says.

"No you are Crosby,"I say, laughing.
I hear her laughing as I won the faceoff and pass it to Colby as he scores.

"Yes,"I say as I high five him.

"Dang it, come on,"Vette says.
Vette is a very sore loser, she hates to lose.

As the game when on for the next 30 minutes, I scored 3 goals and they scored 4, so it was tied.

"Shootout,"I say as LC was up first with sidney, with Sidney covering our goal from her.

"I'm gonna score on you with yourself, Sid,"LC says.

"No your not LC,"Sidney says as we all watch as LC shots the puck and it bounce off the pad.
as
"Ha told ya,"Sidney says, laughing.
I was up next as Sidney but I was going to try and score on Geno.

"Watch out for me Geno,"I say as I begin to move, i used my going behide and scoring in the net.

"Yes,"I say as colby and high five me.

"I'm going to score on you Aaylah,"Vette says.

"Bring it,"
I watch the screen as Vette shot it bu I block it.

"Damn,"Vette says.

"Colby your up at shooting,"I say.

"Me goalie,"Geno says.

"Bye Malkin,"colby says as I watch him score into the net.

"You have to score or its over,"I say, smiling.

"Oh we will,"Lc,Vette says.

Colby is the goalie as LC was trying to score.

"Don't go easy on her Army,"I say as I watch the screen.
LC shot it and it was blocked.

"Yay we won!!"I exclaim as Colby, me and Sidney begin to hug.
I have won both of the games, which made me happy.

"I'm tired of this,"Vette says as she gets up.

"It's a game Vette,"I say as she walks over to cool off.

"She normally does this?"LC asks.

"Whenever she loses anything. She's really compative,"I say as I set my controller down as i lean on Sidney as he puts his arms around me that it lands on my flabby stomach.

Everyone got up as LC walks into the kicthen.

"Sid did you get anymore snacks?"LC asks as colby follows her.

"No, Colby owes me somemore,"Sidney says.

"Nope,"Colby says.
Then i felt something on me.

"Army!!"Sidney exclaims as I get up from the couch.

"Haha,"Colby says.

"Your going down Army,"Sidney says as they begin to chase one another around.
I made sure I was out of the way as Sidney pins colby on the ground.

"Say your sorry,"Sid says, laughing.
I smile

"I'm sorry,"
Sidney then gets off of him as he helps Army get up.

"Thanks,"Sidney says.

"I gotta go change,"I say as I grab my bag off the floor by the kicthen table as I head back into the bathroom as I hear say"me too. Thanks army,"
That made me smile.
I then open my bag as I pull out my purple pj bottoms and my favorite top, which is as blue shirt with a heart in the middle.

"I'm cleaning up his mess Sid,"LC says as i over hear her.

"Alright. Thanks LC. Tell him to help,"I hear Sid says loudly.
Taking off my furneal outfit on the floor, I put on my PJ bottoms and shirt.
I then open the door.

"Sid,"I say.

"Yeah,"sid says behide the door.

"Can I keep my clothes on the floor, since they are wet?"I ask.
Sidney opens his door to reveal him in shorts and a blue shirt, like me.

"I'll put them in mine, with my clothes,"Sidney says.
I kneel down and grab them and hand the clothes to him.

"Where is your other clothes?"Sid asks.
Walking over to my bag, i pull the dirty clothes out and hand them to him.

"Ok, I'll wash them tomorrow with mine ok?"

"Alright, can I put my bag in there too?"I ask.

"Yeah,"
I then pick it up as Sid takes it as I walk out watching him place it by the door as he closes the door.
Sidney leans in and kisses me.

"Love ya,"Sidney says.

"Love you too,"i say as we walk up front as we see the air materess blown up.

"We had to do it, so two couples can be on there sitting and one can be on the couch,"LC says as I notice towels on the couch where it was wet with soda.

"Well you two will get the couch,"Sid says.

"Ok,"Lc says as they sit down as i look up to see that previews were on.

"Go ahead and sit down babe,"Sid says as i sit on the air matteress beside Vette as Sidney got on beside me.

"Everyone comfy?"Sid asks.

"Yes,"Everyone says as the movie began.
I lean over to Sid and just lay on his chest.
This day is getting better by each second.

I turn as Dodge ball began.
This is a funny movie.
Today is cheer up Aaylah day, which i'm enjoying.

As the movie was almost over, I am laughing so hard, that i'm crying.

"I enjoyed that,"I say as I begin to yawn.

"tired babe?"Sidney asks.

"A little,"i say.

"What are sleeping arrenments Sid?"LC asks.

"Well since we have a wet couch, LC and Colby will be in her room and no you know what. Vette and Geno can have the air materess out here and Aaylah do you feel combfortable enough to sleep with me in my room or no cause I can give you the bed and i'll take the floor,"Sidney says.

"I want to be with you,"I say as I hug him.

"Alright, let's get to bed,"sidney says.

"No you know what you two,"LC says as we follow them.

'Shut up,"Sidney says smiling.

"You sid,"Lc says as she closes the door as Sidney and me walk down the hall to his room.
Walking into the room, i seen a giant bed.

"That looks comfy,"I say as i walk over to it.
It was little bit high, but I got onto the bed.

"Which side do you want babe?"sidney asks.

"right,"I say as I move over as sid got into the bed.
I lay down on my right side as i felt sid wrap his around me.

"Ok?"Sid asks.

"Yes,"I say
I move back more closer to him, as I was crying.

"Babe you alright?"Sidney asks.
I move my head back.

"I'm so lucky to have you in my life right now,"I say as I kiss him as he kiss back.

"I'm lucky too have you in my life,Aaylah,"
i smile as he kiss me.
I then turn around in his arms so I can face him.

"Night babe,"Sidney says.

"Night Sid,"I say as we kiss.
I watch as his eyes close them mine soon follow.
