Ready For Love : Tyler Seguin Fan Fiction

The fans found me

In the morning I am awoken to the sound of my phone going off. I reach around for a few seconds before finding my phone and unlocking it. The brightness of the screen hurts my eyes and I have to squint to see.

Tyler : be there in 5

I get out of bed and turn on the light. I glance at my reflection in the mirror. My hair is all over the place. I quickly brush it before stepping into my slippers and grabbing a jacket. I walk through the quiet house and look out the window for Tyler. I am not waiting outside for him. It is freezing. Once I see headlights pull up the house I step outside and wait for Tyler to get out of the car. Tyler steps out and jogs up to me and gives me a huge hug. Tyler's mom steps out of the car for a second and waves. "Hey, Jackie!" I yell and wave back.

"Hey, sweetie!" she says before getting back into the car.

"I was up all night trying to come up with the words to say. You mean so much to me. I know that I screwed up before so I want to make sure I get it right this time. I'm going to miss you like crazy but it gives me comfort knowing we will see each other soon," Tyler says as he continues to hold me in his arms.

"I thought you were just going to say goodbye," I say trying to keep the mood light. I am hugging him and don't want to let him go. "I don't want you to worry about what happened. That is in the past. Let's just worry about right now and right now I don't want to let you go. Right now I want to kiss you until your lips fall off. Right now I want to tell you not to leave me. And right now I know that I have to tell you to have a safe flight and that I will see you next week."

He holds my chin in his hand and looks into my eyes. "Right now I want to tell you I love you." He leans down and kisses me and I kiss him back. A tear rolls down my cheek as he pulls away. "I'll call you when I land."

"I love you. Be safe." We hug each other once more before he makes the slow, painful walk back to his mother's car and gets in. I watch as she pulls away and then go back inside. I walk back to my room and get back into bed after kicking my slippers off and hanging my jacket back up in my closet. It takes me a while but I finally fall back asleep.

It's been a few days since Tyler went back to Dallas and life should have gone back to normal. I have been selling a few pictures here and there from my website and have been spending some catch up time with my family and friends. The problem with dating a famous hockey player, especially one as good looking as Tyler, is that everyone is in their business all of the time. Someone in that restaurant tweeted about Tyler having a girlfriend and now everyone on Twitter is freaking out. They posted the pictures of us but it was dark and grainy so you can't really make out my face too well which I am thankful for. It is still extremely stressful. People who don't even know me are sitting there and talking about me like they know, and it's not nice things either.

Tyler tells me not to worry about it but how can I sit by and let people say such hurtful things about me. I don't expect him to stick up for me by any means. I just wish I could reach through my screen and slap all of these girls silly. I've known Tyler my whole life and these girls don't know him at all. They sit with their phones in their hands laying claim to him. It's just not right. I am not going to let it get under my skin too much. We have each other and that's all that matters.

Today AnnMarie and I are going to a season ticket holder event for the Toronto Maple Leafs. It'll be good to see the guys again, especially Jonathan Bernier. After being a season ticket holder for so long you become familiar with your long time players and they become familiar with you so he knows I am his biggest fan and he also knows I was away for 2 years for school. AnnMarie kept the guys up to date on what she knew was going on with me and she said they genuinely were interested in how I was doing. It makes me feel good that they appreciate me that much.
