Taylor go up bright and early that morning, to look her best for her day with Sidney. She wore a long navy blue tank top with a biker style leather jacket overtop, dark blue jeans tucked into a pair of riding boots that hit just bellow the knee, carried a large black purse, and her signature blond curls.
As she finished putting her make up she received a text from Sidney.
Be there in 5.
Okay : ) She sent back.
All of a sudden Taylor felt anxious, she sat on the bed in her hotel room playing with her hands waiting for Sidney. She heard a knock on the door and went to answer it, standing on the other side of the door was Sidney. A smile spread across her, she didn't think he would actually come up and get her.
"Hi Sidney, you didn't need to come up." Taylor said
"Oh that's fine I really don't mind." he smiled.
As Taylor and Sidney's day went on they began to learn more and more about each other.
They sat at a local coffee bar enjoying each others company.
"So when is the tour done?" Sidney asked.
"It will be done at the end of the month in England." She responded with a smile.
"Are you excited for it to be done?"
"Yes and no. I love touring around the world with my band and seeing new things. My career is my main priority but it'll be nice to have sometime to myself." Taylor smiled.
"Yeah it is nice to have a break, fortunately I get summers for that." Sidney smiled thinking of the summers he spent at the end of the dock with his fishing rod and tackle box.
"Yeah I can't wait for the summer a nice break is much needed." She smiled imagining spending it with the dark hair man sitting across form her. She imagined them being in Halifax at his place, it sounded beautiful they he described it. They could enjoy each others company all summer long, with no paparazzi trying to snap a picture of them.
Sidney took his seat at the Consol Energy center beside his team mates Max and Marc-Andre. They waited for the concert to begin and Sidney remained tight lipped about the time he had spent with Taylor even with Max and Marc-Andre thousands of questions about them.
"Do you like her?" Max asked.
"Does she like you?" Marc asked next.
"Are you going to sleep with her?" It was Max's turn to ask.
"Are you going to Marry her?" It was now Marc's turn again.
"Are you two gonna have little country singing, hockey playing babies?" Max asked and finally managed to push Sidney over the edge.
"WILL YOU TWO IDIOTS STOP ALREADY! YOU WILL NEVER NOW WHAT HAPPENED!" Sidney shouted at the two Frenchmen beside him.
"Yep, he's in love with her." Marc-Andre smiled mischievously. Sidney gave him the look of death and Marc's smile quickly faded as Max sunk into his chair and turned away.
Taylor came out and Sidney felt a wave of excitement wash over him. Not excitement like how her fans felt but like how a groom feels when he sees his bride walking down the aisle to become his wife.
The concert went on and Taylor began to speak to the crowd.
"This next song is about meeting someone for the first time and feeling completely enchanted to meet them" the music to Taylor's song Enchanted for her new album began. "and today I felt enchanted." She smiled thinking of Sidney.
Marc and Max both nudge Sidney in the side.
It was now the end of March and Taylor was in Europe, for Sidney the regular season was finishing up and playoffs were about to begin.
Taylor and Sidney kept in touch via text, e-mail, Ichat and some phone calls.
Taylor's feelings for Sidney grew stronger and stronger as the days went by. Every time she spoke to him or herd from him it felt like he knew all the right things to say. Everyday Sidney always seemed to creep into her thoughts and she couldn't stop talking about him to her fiddle play Caitlyn and back-up singer Liz. Every body was so happy to see her happy finally.
Sidney's feelings for Taylor were definitely mutual although he didn't talk about them so openly with his buddies. He managed to finally get the nerve one night to ask Taylor to come to Pittsburgh for a few home games, to his surprise she said yes.
Taylor's plane had landed, she got her luggage and went to go find Sidney. When she saw him, she wanted to jump in his arms like the airport scene in Dear John but she figured that would draw too much attention to her and Sidney. There had already been speculations in the media and the only time they had been in the same place was in Pittsburgh were there was no paparazzi. Even though she didn't run into his arms she felt as if it wouldn't of been inappropriate because after all they were practically dating. Well at least that's what she thought and hopefully he thought the same.
When Sidney saw here come out of those doors her naturally curly hair flowed perfectly, she wore a lilac coloured blouse that was tucked into a floral skirt. She smiled right at him and he couldn't help but smile back at the tall blonde beauty making her way towards him.
"Hi Sidney." She wrapped her arms around him unable to wait till there was no one around to give a hug. "I missed you." She whispered into his ear.
"I missed you too." He replied taking in her scent, she smelt like a bakery the scent of cake and icing.
Sidney and Taylor decided to stay in for the night. Taylor would make them dinner and then they would watch movies. There was one problem though.
"Sidney you have no ingredients!" Taylor shouted from the kitchen towards the living room where Sidney's banished of too. Taylor insisted she did everything herself. Sidney didn't argue he wasn't much of a cook and didn't enjoy cooking anyways.
"Well sorry, I don't cook." He said walking into the kitchen with his crocked smile, the one that made Taylor melt.
"Well then off to the grocery store we go!" she declared.
"Alright." Sidney said and they made there way to the local grocery store.
They arrived at the grocery store and Sidney always a gentleman opened the car door for her. As the made their way towards the store Sidney reached for Taylor's and she absentmindedly accepted by intertwining her fingers with his. She realized they were holding hands when that jolt of electricity ran threw her body.
In the grocery they managed to get all of what Taylor wanted. Sidney went and paid, then they were on their way back home.
Taylor managed to make them a wonder full dinner, one that was completed with a baby spinach salad with homemade dressing, a baked chicken with a sweet orange glaze and wild rice with a cream sauce.
After dinner they went to go get comfy in pj's and then would watch movies.
"Ugh." Taylor sighed as she rummaged through her suit case unable to find any pyjama's. She left the guest room and went to Sidney's room, she tapped on the door lightly and he opened it and all he had on were his jeans that were undone.
"Can I help you Taylor." He smiled as he motioned for her to come in.
"I sort of forgot pyjama's." she smiled innocently.
"I could give you a shirt to were, cause I know for sure I don't have any sweats that will fit you." He smiled well aware that Taylor may have been his height but definitely not his size.
"Yeah that's great, Thank you." She said as Sidney handed her a large shirt that would probably make her look like she was swimming in it.
Sidney got the movie set up just in time because Taylor just entered the living room. She stood there in Sidney's shirt her bare legs spilling from the hem. Sidney couldn't help but stare. He quickly got up and sat on the coach beside Taylor, as he sat down she made herself comfortable by putting her head on his chest and letting her long legs spill along the couch. Sidney quickly put his arm around her back. They began to watch the John Hughes 1980's classic The Breakfast Club. The movie ended and I was getting late.
"Are you ready for bed?" Sidney asked a sleepy Taylor.
"Yeah." She said quietly and yawned, Sidney couldn't help but smile.
They made there way upstairs and Sidney went to see Taylor off the bed. They stood outside the guest bedroom and Taylor reach for a hug and Sidney wrapped his arms tightly around her.
"Goodnight." He said into her hair and kissed her head.
"Mmm…sweet dreams." They pulled apart but still a very short distance from one another. Taylor leaned in closely to Sidney hoping that he would get the hint and just kiss her already and he did he closed the gap between them with his lips. The kiss was just a tender smooch but it felt so much more to the both of them.
"Goodnight Taylor." He smile and kissed her again on the head.
"Sweet dreams Sidney."
Taylor could not stop tossing a turning in her bed. It seemed like a few hours ago she couldn't keep her eyes opened and now she couldn't fall asleep. So she got and made her way to Sidney's bedroom. She lightly knocked and then opened the door.
"I can't fall asleep." She said quietly.
"Me either." He responded quietly also. He then lifted the covers and motioned for her to come sleep with him. She quickly crawled into the bed with him. He lay on his back and she on her side. Taylor put her head on his chest, her right arm on his abdomen, her bare leg on top of his bare leg she then realized he was only in his boxers and Sidney put his arm securely around her.
"Goodnight Taylor." Sidney smiled felling extremely content.
"Sweet dreams Sidney." Taylor said sleepily feeling the same amount of content as Sidney. They fell asleep quickly with each others bodies tangled.
