Sidney Crosby | Pittsburgh Penguins

One of my #1 boys!! 😍

Finally here at my apartment in Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia

It was a long drive from Calgary, so I just decided to make a bed on the couch and hopefully catch some sleep.

My heart is going crazy because it took me a lot to leave all my family behind and come all the way across the country all because of a dream. I get super homesick and lonesome for my family, but I want my PhD and I will do everything possible to get it.

It's about 9:30 in the morning as I crawl out off the couch and decide that, I need my coffee. I was fortunate enough to get an apartment off campus that was in walking distance to a Tim Horton's. I decide to slip some leggings on, my old hockey jacket and my converse, and run to the Timmies down the road.

As I walk in, I see a huge line but im definitely willing to wait for my Double-Double. I stand there as the line moves slowly but am suddenly bumped by a tall strange figure. I turn around and he says

"Oops, I'm so sorry, I should have been watching where I was going." He looks down and smiles a beautiful smile.
I think to myself, no you can not be thinking anyone is cute for awhile. You start university in about two weeks and you start your new job at the paper this week!!! You have no time to fool around.
I just nod my head and say it's all good.

He begins to speak again but I'm side tracked on what to get.
I turn around and say,
" pardon? Sorry I was busy thinking of what to get."
He just chuckles and repeats himself,
"Well, my name is Sidney, and I just wanted to know if I can make it up to you and buy your order." He says as he reaches up to his neck and rubs it. And I just thought to myself about his proposition but knew I had to decline. I couldn't really see his face all that well because his hat hung in the way. So I just looked at him and said,
"Oh I'm Y/N, but no it's okay, I know it was on an accident so I accept the apology but I'll be okay. But thank you though." As I turn away and realize I'm about three people away from the till.
"Okay fine, but at least sit down with me and have a coffee?" Man was he ever persistent but I definitely found that attractive. So I think I'll just give in and have the damn coffee with him.
"Persistent are we? And fine I guess I'll put up with you for a while." I reply to him as I put a little sass into it and he just laughs and smiles.

I get to the till and begin to order,
"Hello, I'll get a medium double-double with a plain bagel with cream cheese." And then I hear Sidney's voice say,
"I'll get the same thing and it's all together." As he places a $20 bill on the counter and gives me a devilish grin. I just smile at his boldness and shake my head.
"Really Sidney? Really?" I say as I place my hand on my hip and smile at him in disbelief
"Well you weren't going to let me pay so I have to derive a plan on how, and that was the one I came up with." He retorts as he lifts his hat off his head and runs his hand through his hair. And then I see his whole face. And man did I ever feel stupid. I just look at him and realize that who I am talking to is Mr Crosby himself, Sidney Crosby. He looks down at me and questions why I am staring at him.
"Well first off because you are Sid The Kid, and second because your super cute when your flustered and nervous." I say as I grab my bagel, coffee and walk to a table with two chairs opposite of one another. He begins to laugh at me and blushes.
"Are you a fan of hockey or something? And I didn't tell you who I was because I want you to get to know the real me and not the person the media portrays as me." I glance at him as I sip my coffee and figure out what exactly to say.
"Oh hell yes I am, I am actually a die hard Flames fan but The Pens have to be a head to head battle for my top team. Sidney, I understand why you didn't and I definitely think that is awesome of you. Oh and if you were asking if I want to get to know you, that's a yes." I say before I take a bite out of my bagel
"Well I guess the Flames are gunna be #2 because Sid The Kid is in town." He says as he brushes off his shoulders like he's cool
"And ya I want to get to know you. So tell me what you are doing out in Halifax?"
I thought about how I should say this to him but maybe he'll understand.
"Hmm, I got accepted to Dal for my PhD in Political Science and I'm also a major in Sports Journalism and currently working at the News Paper for the sports department. So I'm here for my education and to write about my love for sports. How about you?"
He had the biggest smile on his face as he just shook his head and he blushed. I had to be honest, I didn't understand what he meant by this and he didn't say a word.
"Umm Sid? Are you okay? What's up? Did I say something wrong?" I say to him and he lifts his head and replies,
"Y/N, you are so intelligent and I was just amazed by how you are so intrigued into your goals and dreams and I can definitely see that you will change the world one person at a time. And I hope that starts with me." He says as he reaches over the table and grabs my hand.

This one is kind of about my hopes and dreams. I want my PhD in Political Science one day...

Hope you like it, Loves! Requests are always welcome!!!! 💕
