By Chance

Chapter 8

The next morning I woke up before Jon. I watched him as he was sleeping, he looked absolutely peaceful and so vulnerable. I wriggled one arm underneath him and the other around him so I was just hugging his waist my head in his chest listening to his heart beat feeling his chest each time he took a breath.

"I love you." I heard a sleepy, yet oh so sexy morning voice. "you don't have to say anything back, but I do I really love you."

Did I just hear him right? He loves me. And I truly felt it. I didn't say it back instead I kissed him on the cheek and rolled out of bed.

"Loving the outfit." he says giving me a once over. Rolling my eyes at him I turn and head to the kitchen.

I start the coffee pot, getting two mugs out. While waiting for it brew I walked back up stairs to fine a very naked Jonathan. I tired to look away but I couldn't. He caught me looking too.

"Like what you see?" he smirks.

"Put some clothes on." is all I can say, by face definitely as red as a tomato. I walked out of the room back to the kitchen for my coffee. Jon comes down a minute later wearing only bottoms. "Not exactly what I meant."

"Oh I know what you meant."

"Drink you coffee." I say handing him over his mug. "how do I tell my parents that I was beaten up by my ex, and that I'm currently dating NHL superstar and captain of the Chicago Blackhawks who is also 10 years older than me." I blurted out.

"I thought the age thing didn't bother you?"

"Oh it doesn't, I just don't know about them."

"If it makes you feel any better, I've told my parents about you and us and they are okay with it." he says with a smile. "and you just tell them what happened."

"I suppose I should just FaceTime them." I say grabbing Jon's iPad.

"I'll leave you to tell them."

"No, stay! But you need a shirt on first."

He goes up stairs to get a shirt, comes back down just as fast as he went up.

"Mel!!! oh I have missed you!!! drew look it's mel! and she has a friend with her!" oh mother...

"Melanie sweetie! how about that last game? he says winking at me."

"Dad, mom this is my boyfriend Jonathan Toews."

"Oh nice to meet you Jonathan!!" my mom totally oblivious that this is thee Jonathan Toews, the one on the back of my shirt I also wore (still do.) But my dad knew completely who he was.

"Sorry about the game, I didn't recognize you right away."

My dad knows that he is much much older than me. But doesn't seem to really care. The rest of the conversation went by well, until I really had to tell them about Tuck.

After telling them my mom was crying saying how sorry she was that she sent him here. My dad was livid. Good thing my bruising is cleared up, or they would have been even more pissed.

At the end my dad says, "Jon, you take care of her, keep her safe."

"Will do sir."

And then we said our goodbyes.
