Loving You (Tom Wilson)

Chapter 7

I woke up early, and Tom still lay sleeping. Smiling down at him, I got out of the bed. The house was dead silent, which wasn't a surprise at 7 am. I changed into my clothes from yesterday and went downstairs. My car keys were on the counter so I grabbed them and went to my car.

Once I got home I showered and changed clothes. I had class today and my 18AAA team had a game tonight so I packed everything I was going to need for the game in a bag. I wore a pair of blue jeans and  a light sweatshirt.

Before leaving for class I texted my brothers about thanksgiving plans before heading to class. Very rarely did I see my brother but we tried to made sure every holiday we did.

 I went to both my classes and then grabbed something to eat before going to the rink. Grant, one of my brothers, said that we would all go to his house for thanksgiving. Mason and his wife Emily said they would be there. I told them I couldn't wait to see them and Emily better made her famous apple pie.

At the rink I began work with some paper work. The boys would begin arriving any minute now. Dave still wasn't at the rink so I sent him a text asking where he was.

The entire team was here and still no sign of Dave. The caption came out of the locker room to tell me everyone was good and I could come in. I walked into the locker room and all the boys were looking at there feet, waiting.

"Alright boys, it seems like it's just me tonight. You boys know tonight's game is important. The past two years this team has beat us every time. They are big, strong, and fast, but you guys are a new team this year. You guys are going to go out there and show them what you guys have been working on. And tonight we will win. Let's go." I tell them, going into game mode. The captain, Marc, lead the boys onto the ice. I went to the bench, looking around for Dave. Up in the press box there was scouts, that I didn't know where going to be here. We had to be here.

After double over time, and a 10 person shoot out, we ended up winning. The boys were exhausted but the looks on there faces was pure excitement. The reason was only about a month and a half in but they were going to do great for the rest of the year, I could already tell.

I was leaving the locker room when I ran into someone. Falling on my butt, I heard a familiar laugh. Looking up I saw Derek standing there, a huge smile on his face.

"Derek." I breathed out. In that moment all I wanted to do was cry.

"Kath." He smiled at me and helped me up. "I've missed you ." He said, looking at the ground, his voice had gotten smaller.

"Derek..I..I missed you also." I stammered. He walked  over to me, and pressed his lips to mine.

Tom's P.O.V

I had went to Katherine's game. I figured we could hang out after and grab some dinner. As  I watched her couch, I noticed her love for the game. She was also really hot when she yelled at the ref and worked with her team. Ever since I met her I found myself slowly falling for her.

The game ended and Katheine's team won. I waited a bit to go down toward the locker room. I saw her leave the room and I was just about to say her name when she ran into someone, falling to he ground.  "Derek." She said to some man. He was tall with short blonde hair.

"Kath." He said back to her and helped her up. "I've missed you."

"Derek..I..I missed you also" She stammered. Next thing I knew he kissed her. My heart broke slightly as she wrapped her arms around him.
