I Never Told You {Reilly Smith}

Crushing On You

When Reilly skated towards the boards, he noticed Sawyer and me. His face lit up as he smiled and waved.

Naturally, the tons of girls down by the glass lost their shit. Sawyer giggled and waved back. Reilly winked at me. I laughed and shook my head. He was too much.

-----------------

After the game, I went with Ashley down into the tunnels so we could wait for Greg and Reilly.

Sawyer was super tired, and he was cuddled up against my side, his head resting on my shoulder. I rocked back and forth and I heard him begin to snore. I smiled.

"So what's it like?" Ashley asked me.

"What's what like?"

"Being a mom at such a young age and letting the dad walk away," she said. I shrugged.

"I didn't really let Reils walk away. I knew that hockey was his dream and I wasn't about to stop him," I said. "I knew I'd be okay, and I knew I would see him again."

"I don't know if I could've done it," she said with a laugh. I laughed too.

"Hell, neither did I half the time," I joked. She laughed. The door opened and Greg came out.

"Hey," he said, kissing Ashley's cheek. "Hi, Katie, Sawyer."

"Hey, Soups," I said. He gave me an awkward hug to try and not wake Sawyer.

"How's the little man?" he asked me, grinning at Sawyer.

"He's doing good," I said with a smile.

"Reilly told us," he said.

"The little one," I said, nodding towards Sawyer's sleeping figure, "was so excited."

"We're all happy for you guys," he told me. "I hope everything goes well."

"Thank you," I said as they walked off, hand in hand. I continued to rock Sawyer back and forth until Reilly came out. And Rachel came out from nowhere and starting to talk to him. She kissed him, and by the looks of it, he wasn't objecting.

"Fuck this," I muttered under my breath as I turned and began to walk away. Rachel could go to hell.

"Katie! Katie! Wait!" he yelled. I turned and saw Rachel hanging on his arm.

"Where we going? Whys daddy not coming?" he asked me as he rubbed his eyes.

"We're just gonna meet daddy at home, okay?" I said as I turned around and walked away.

"KATIE!" he yelled. He began to chase after me. I was screwed. He caught up to me and put his hand on my hip. I suddenly got butterflies in my stomach. His hand was warm, I could feel it even through my jeans.

"What?" I asked him. Sawyer just watched, half asleep.

"Katie, I didn't kiss her," he said.

"I know, I just don't want to watch as some whore throws herself at the guy I have a crush on," I said. Shit. Was that my out loud voice.

"You have a crush on me?" he asked with a smirk on his face. I felt my face get hot and I got flustered. He leaned his head down and kissed my cheek.

"It's okay, babe, I have a crush on you too," he said with a wink.

"You're such a flirt, Reils," I joked. He reached his hands out as we walked down the hall. I handed Sawyer to him. He held him in one arm as put the other around me. I reached up with my hand and grabbed his that was hanging off my shoulder.

*Reilly's POV*

As Katie reached up and grabbed my hand, I knew that everything was okay.

I was riding a high. I scored the game winner, the girl I love said she had a crush on me, and I was holding my son in one arm, and the love of my life in the other, even though she didn't know it.

I kissed the top of her head. We stepped through the doors to the players lot and Marchy was stuffing his bag into his trunk.

"Hey, family man!" he said with a wave. My hands were tied up, so I just smiled and gave him a nod.
