somewhere with you : sidney crosby

I slipped into Sidney's bed and drowned in the comforter of his California King. the lamp on his bedside table was lit so I observed my surroundings. a panoramic of the rink hung above his door and to the right was a large chest of drawers. a lamp sat on top of it. the wall to my right had two big sliding glass doors that led to the balcony and to the left was his closet and bathroom.

he walked out of the closed door and a cloud of steam poured out of the door frame along with him. a towel hung loosely around his waist and all of his hair was going in different directions. I watched as he grabbed boxers and a pair of pajama pants from the drawer them walk back into the bathroom. that's when I got an idea.

I jumped out of bed and grabbed his old pens jersey from the closet. I quickly stripped off my shorts and tank top and pulled the jersey over my head just as Sid stepped out of the bathroom.

his eyes scanned me up and down before resting on where the hem of it hit me just below my upper thigh.

"what's this?" he asked.

I clicked my phone and die a happy man started playing.

"dance with me?" I asked.

he smiled and walked over to grab my waist. his hand held on to my pelvis and slowly our fingers laced together. for a moment he spun me around his room. for that moment life was perfect.

"I love you in that jersey," he mumbled into my neck. I tilted my head back while his lips kissed down the hollow of my neck down to the base then to my collarbone. "it was a very nice touch."

"thank you but stop. I want this to be sweet not seductive," I laughed.

as we danced and joked the grandfather clock in his study went off and Sidney's face lit up as he lifted me into his arms.

"happy birthday, princess," he whispered before pulling me into a deep kiss. he laid me back into the bed and crawled on top of me. I lifted my legs and wrapped them around his waist.

his hands slipped beneath the jersey and pressed tightly to my bare skin. i began to push his pajama pants off with my feet and he retrieved his hands to help me.

before he could get them off a loud knock came from the front door. Sidney groaned then rolled off the bed and out the bedroom. I got up and changed then followed him out to see what was going on.

a spunky blonde lunged into his arms and he gladly welcomed her.

"taylor what the hell? why didn't you tell me you were coming I could've picked you up from the airport?" he exclaimed.

taylor. his sister.

"I wanted to surpri," she looked back at me and her smile turned into her lips pressing together tightly and she raised an eyebrow, "well hello."

Sidney looked back at me and cursed under his breath. "Taylor, this is my uh friend Maggie. Maggs this is my sister Taylor."

I smile and waved but only got a look of disgust back. she walked into the apartment and while he walked her to his room I started gathering my stuff.

i slipped back into my jeans and a black reebok t-shirt that I had more than likely gotten from Sidney.

I stuffed the rest of my things into my backpack and started walking out his room. we met in the living room and his smile dropped.

"you're leaving? I thought you were staying here and we'd go to practice and the game together tomorrow."

"looks like your car will be full, Sidney."
