Eleven – Addison

It has been about two months. two gloriously awesome, easy months of being in this "relationship" well technically it's been three, but two since we became "public", ya know we had to play it off like we were dating before that though. My Instagram blew up. I have easily quadrupled my followers, it is insane. I don't know how people handle all these comments!

In the past two months we've been having so much fun. He's had a lot of away games, so the time we do get to spend together we use wisely. For example, Valentine's day we went back home to Toronto. It was, I don't even know the right words to use for how amazing it really was. My sister still lives up there, as well as his entire family, and he has a cottage up there. The cottage was beautiful, right on the lake, and I don't want to admit how excited I am for summer to get here just to be out on his boat.

Houston took us all snowboarding, my kids picked it up like pros. I wish I was joking. We went three days in a row and Brent was already doing tricks. Braelynn took to is so fast even the staff was amazed.

Speaking of my kids, they took to Houston also. He was letting me sleep in, which never happened, ever. He would wake up quietly, sneak out of the bed we strictly shared but didn't do anything in, before everyone, go do his work out that he never skipped, then come back and the kids would wake up. When I would wake up on my own a few hours later, they were all always doing something. One day playing video games, the next playing in the snow, and the last day we spent there they were watching a movie.

My heart is exploding, and I don't know what was going to happen this year anymore. I came into this entire deal with my head and heart on the same road. Now, they're going opposite fucking directions and it sucks.

Houston is amazing, even better than I had ever imagined. He understands what is at stake when it comes to the stupid contract, we both signed. He's respectful of the boundaries we have in place, even if we do push it by enjoying our make out sessions.

We're going back to Toronto in a few days and staying for almost a week. I have to because my sister is getting married, so I need to do my maid of honor duties and help pick out the bridesmaid dresses since the wedding is in June. She's marrying Houston's best friend Colin which is hilarious, since he is also the best man. Houston's next game was up there but he only had that game over the course of 8 days which was a nice little time off for him.

Tonight though, we finally get to see him after almost 2 weeks of him being gone for away games. The game is already almost over and I'm freaking out. I never thought I would miss the feeling of someone's lips, or just their presence, but I crave his, and that terrifies me.

We didn't get to see him directly after the game because they had a team meeting, so he told me to just go ahead and drive to his place to get the kids in bed. Devon ran a key out to me so that I could get in. The kids already picked which rooms they like best, this wasn't our first rodeo, they loved being here so much, and Houston even went out and got a toddler bed for Braelynn even though I told him not to a thousand times. He didn't listen, and she loves her princess bed. Spoiled.

Once the kids were in bed, I brought their sleeping butts in one at a time, I headed to the laundry room downstairs to do his laundry because well...I'm that girl. I needed busy work. I had done an entire load and still had another one in the dryer when I heard the garage door, then heard him walk into the house.

"Addi?" He quietly yelled which caused me to giggle. This allowed him to find me way too easily and he laughed. "What are you doing?" I finished folding the jeans and put them on the table with everything else.
