All-Star Weekend had finally arrived, and Auston had been selected to play this year. It was being hosted in the sunny city of Tampa and I was more than excited to feel some sun and warm weather. And even more excited because Tyler was also going to be there so I would have the chance to see him and I could not wait.
While Mitch did not get selected this year, I was still able to convince Steph to join me with the promise of warm weather and a much needed vacation.
We flew out a day earlier than Auston, allowing ourselves some time to settle in and relish in the quiet before the All-star Weekend. I also had spoken with Tyler and he revealed that he had a new girlfriend named Kylie, and was wondering if she could tag along with us since she was staying in the same hotel. Uncertain about what to expect from Tyler's previous dating choices, I cautiously agreed even though I felt like she was going to be a puck bunny.
After checking into the hotel, we freshened up and changed into cuter clothes from our traveling sweats. Then we headed down to the lobby where we were meeting Kylie before heading to dinner. I gave Steph a friendly heads-up, briefing her on Tyler's past romantic interest– dramatic, silicone-filled puck bunnies. Mentally prepared we waited for Kylie's arrival
A tap on my shoulder marked her entrance. "Are you Brooklyn?" she asked, I looked she was different then the rest she seemed sweet and was a beautiful brunette
"Yes," I replied
"I'm Kylie!" She exclaimed pulling me into an unexpected hug. "Gosh, you look so much like your brother."
I introduced her to Steph, then the three of us piled into an Uber and headed to dinner. Over the course of the evening, we ate some amazing foods and engaged in conversation, aiming to foster a deeper connection. Kylie told us how she and Tyler met and it was actually really sweet.
She actually worked at the airport the Stars flew out of. Tyler asked her out time after time and she kept saying no because she was not going to let some NHL player sweep her off her feet. But he was determined and persistent and after a whole year of asking her she finally broke and said yes. And it worked out.
Contacted to the previous relationships that Tyler has, Kylie seemed to be not only sweet but also so genuine. The evenings continued with shared laughter and a few to many glasses of wine. And we decided to take a walk on the moonlit beach. Then headed back and called it a night.
The following morning, the three of us opted for a trip to the beach, taking advantage of the convenient beach access our hotel provided. The sun cast a warm glow, and the sound of the waves greeted us. The experience was different from my usual routine– I had never really been on a girls trip was formed close bonds with girlfriends aside from Steph. So this was nice and relaxing and I was having so much fun gossiping and laughing all day
My phone dinged and I got a text from Auston
Auston: Just landed baby, wyd
Brooklyn: You made it nice and safe, can't wait to see you. <3
Brooklyn: Nothing really just sitting on the beach
Auston: You went to the beach and didn't send me any picture mail :(
Brooklyn: Oh you see it all the time
Auston: Unbelievable
Auston: Do you want me to grab you and Steph's ID badges and passes when I check in
Brooklyn: Yes please <3<3
Auston: I got you princess, see you soon <3
