Stilettos and Skates

Nineteen

Sid woke up a happy man. After his kiss with Aly at the rink yesterday, they'd grabbed food with Taylor at the rink and after that he'd took his sister back to her place and kindly gave Aly a ride back to the hotel, they were all tired from the rink and never made it to his place. He'd managed to pull Aly in for a quick kiss before she got out and headed up, leaving him feeling pretty good and he definitely knew she liked him. He'd gone back home and got himself prepared for the first day of the hockey programme, and he liked that Aly would probably be around all day for him to look at. Sometimes the kids' moms would come down and try their hardest to flirt with him and he was never interested, he wondered if Aly would step in and rescue him and it would be a fun way to see how she reacted if there women were giving him attention.

They were starting the morning off in the rink, introducing themselves to the kids and explaining what would be happening with a little Q&A before some fun warm up drills. He heard heels hitting the floor along the corridor and knew it was Aly, he'd heard her shoes plenty times before and her strut was etched into his brain. He was stood waiting to be called into the room because they were getting the kids in first and as he turned around to see her, he nearly dropped his bottle of water because she looked gorgeous. Her hair was down and a little wavy which she didn't normally have down and she was wearing a really cute above the knee white floaty summer dress that had little Cherries dotted on it and her long legs looked even longer due to the white platform shoes she was wearing.

"Morning."

"Hey." He grinned. "You look nice."

"Thanks." She nodded. "You look nice, too."

"In my sports gear?" He raised an eyebrow. "Are you flirting with me, Aly?" She almost giggled at him, giving him a playful shove into his chest as she came to a stop. "Everything ok?"

"Yeah, the crew are on ice and the kids are starting to come in. I'll come and get you when it's time for you to make your grand entrance." She looked right into his eyes and he almost leaned in to kiss her because her lips looked so inviting, like she'd purposefully put gloss on them to get his attention. "You good?"

He nodded. "What are you doing after this?"

"I'm probably going to get dinner and finalise interview slots for your cup day." She smiled. "You?"

"Well, I was kinda hoping you'd wanna get dinner with me."

"Tonight?"

"Yeah." He nodded. "Maybe at my place?"

"Your place?"

"Well, yeah." He looked down at his feet for a moment because he was a little nervous in case she was going to say no. "We didn't get to hang out at my place yesterday and I figure dinner at mine is more private than going out to a restaurant, I thought you'd prefer that."

"Ok." She nodded. "Sure."

"Great." He smiled. "I'll figure it out."

"Well I better grab my jacket and go see if I'm needed and if you're needed, too." She rolled her eyes. "I'll come and get you when it's time. Stay close by, I don't think it'll be long." She took a step towards the door when his hand shot out and grabbed hers.

"Wait a sec." He pulled her towards him and she almost froze as he put his mouth next to her ear, she smelled so good. "I can't wait to kiss you again, Aly." He grinned as he heard her let out a low chuckle before he kissed her cheek and let her head off, and he hoped she'd keep on that dress because he was desperate to get his hands up it.

Sid was called in not long after she'd disappeared and he got right into a Q&A with the kids before they discussed what was happening for the week. Every now and then he'd steal a little glance at Aly, she was working because unlike himself, she didn't have down time unless she had vacation days. He thought she looked really cute sat with a blanket over her legs and a jacket on whilst we worked from her Mac.
