Chapter 26

Hailey Hughes POV

    "I saw that you were perfect, and so I loved you. Then I saw that you were not perfect and I loved you even more." — Angelita Lim

  

It's mid December now , life has been crazy ! After the game in Vancouver in November, my family and I had dinner with Matthew who was in town to play the Canucks. It was so fun , I worried for absolutely nothing . My brothers already loved Matt and seeing how he treats me , how happy I am they were all really happy for me . Us .

By the time Matt and I both returned to Miami , he was busy with a long stretch of home games and I was busy with the bakery and making sales for thanksgiving . Matt and I did make time to go to a Miami dolphins game with our friends from his team . It was so much fun , and the dolphins ended up winning .

Shortly after the football game thanksgiving kinda snuck up on us . Due to the NHL schedule, players don't really get anytime off to go home and see their family's . So Matt and I decided to host thanksgiving at our house with the team and our friends here in Miami .

We lucked out on the weather and it was warm enough for us to sit outside and have thanksgiving dinner with an ocean view . We even got one of those inflatable giant movie screens to watch the football games outside also . It was so much fun I even made a very cute cake among other desserts from my bakery's thanksgiving menu .

The wags helped out by bringing side dishes and making sure we had kid friendly options. Surprisingly Matt knows how to make a turkey with out causing bodily harm , and it tasted great ! Overall thanksgiving went great , I think Matt and I have started a new tradition. Oh and somehow we became the host for all future team parties .

On Black Friday , Matt and I did a little bit of shopping at the mall closest to our house . We went early in the morning before it got too crazy busy . We didn't shop for too long due to Matt having a game that night against the Carolina hurricanes . The panthers ended up winning five to four in overtime . Matty ended up with the overtime goal .

We spent the rest of that night in the hot tub back at our house and watching step brothers with Will Ferrell on the inflatable movie screen. Oh yeah you read that right , OUR house . Matty and I are officially living together. We decided to move into Matty's house after realizing how little time I spent at my apartment. So my three cats and I moved into the house two and a half weeks ago.

You're probably wondering what I did with my apartment, well I am subletting my apartment to my friend Mackie from college , who plays for the panthers . He had been living with a veteran of the team but sadly that player was traded a few weeks ago . So the timing worked out and everything.

Today Matty and I are decorating the house for Christmas, we've had a late start on it this year due to Matty being on the road for a bit and I had to get the bakery ready for the Christmas rush . " where do you want to put the tree baby ." " um...maybe near the tv only because that's were we spend most of our time ."

" I'm excited to spend Christmas with you "
" aw Matty you're so cute !" Apparently Matty didn't like what I said cause I heard him grumble " I'm not cute " . I just laugh and he glared in return . " did you get your shopping done yet , cause if you need help with getting your moms or Taryn and Emma's gifts I'll help" .

" thank you baby , but I finished already . Though can you help me wrap them . You're just so good at wrapping ." I laugh at his comment . " of course Matty we'll do it soon so we can mail them to your moms house and she can put them under the tree." Matty nods and we get back to decorating.

Matty and I finished decorating about an hour ago , and it turned out great . I absolutely love it . Now we're siting down having dinner and discussing what to do for the panthers Christmas party . We want to do something a little different from the Halloween party we threw back in October .

" what if we do one of those ugly sweater parties , have three prizes for first second and third of who has the best one ." Matty nods at my suggestion. " yeah let's do that , what will the prizes be ." Matty asks before taking a bite of his steak . " um maybe the first place prize will be a weekend trip or something? Second place could be a fully paid dinner at one of those fancy restaurants , and third maybe a gift certificate to a spa?"

" yeah I like those , I'll arrange them so you don't have to worry about that ." " thank you matty , now how about secret Santa ?" " yep let's do that oh what about hiring those hibachi chefs that come and do the whole show at home , we could set it up in the back yard ." " yes! I love that idea , the rest of the party will be inside after dinner , obviously a dessert bar made by me!"

" perfect looks like we have the party planned out. Now how about you and me head upstairs and get sweaty under the sheets." I shake my head at matty but immediately start racing him to our bedroom , what can I say matty knows how to make me cum more than I ever had in my life .

I can't believe how much my life has changed since that Halloween party two months ago . I know without a doubt I'll spend the rest of my life with Matthew . We honestly talk about it all the time . I'm pretty sure we've already named our first kid . I'm kidding but there is a list we both agree on .

I can't wait to see what the future holds for us . In just a few short months my bakery in Michigan will be finished, and Matt and the panthers will be playing for a playoff spot . Life is good , I couldn't ask for any better .
