Just Hold Me (Sidney Crosby) EDITING THEN CONTINUING

Chapter 31 - With Him Part 2

I plop down onto Sid's couch as he brings pizza out of the kitchen.

He brings me a paper plate with a triangular piece of cheesy, pepperoni and sausage goodness.

I bring my feet up next to me, not wanting to take up much room.

I pick up my pizza slice and take a small bite off of the tip.

I taste it as Sid turns on Netflix.

I look over at Sid after swallowing my bite and see him taking a big bite from his pizza, his fingers pushing buttons on the remote.

"Anything in particular?" He asks me, turning his head towards me.

"I like Supernatural." I say, taking another small bite with my front teeth, staring at the screen.

"Is that like a series?" He asks me, typing it in the search bar.

"Yeah, but it's really good. I'm really behind though," I take another bite after swallowing, "They're like making the 10th season and I need to start the 3rd."

He laughs at me.

"Wow." He says, scooting over so he's closer to me, "You really are far behind."

"Yes, thank you for the verification." I say sarcastically.

"You're welcome." He says, smiling a cute little smile at me.

I smile, shaking my head and rolling my eyes, feeling my cheeks heat up.

Why must he do this to me? Why must he make me feel such emotions?

I glance up at the TV and see him scrolling through romance movies.

"You're into romance?" I ask him, perplexed.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

I am taken back.

"What?" He asks me.

"It's just most guys hide their emotions in real life, and couldn't really care less about another guy spilling his into a storyline."

"Well, I'm not most guys. And besides, I thought you'd like that more than me."

"I'm more into comedy and horror."

"Okay. But can we watch Gone With The Wind after?" He asks me.

It's really hard to take him seriously to be honest. Big meaty 210 lb Sidney Crosby asking if we can watch Gone With The Wind.

"Of course we can. We can watch it first if you want."

"No, it's up to you."

"It's your tv."

"And also my decision. If I want to make you happy first, then I will."

"Okay, make me happy." I laugh.

"That's what I always plan to do."

I let out a short breath from my nose with a smile.

"Why are you so far away from me?"

"Well, I don't want to be up your ass the whole time."

"Why? I might like it."

I place a hand on my forehead and smile, looking down.

"Come on."

"No, Sidney. It's okay."

"I will come to you."

"No need."

"Oh, YES THERE IS." He says, reaching over and locking both hands around my waist, pulling me over to him.
