Sorry was on vacay, back now! Lots more updates to come!
The guys and I arrived at the hotel about 7:20. Our limo driver let us off in front of the big revolving doors, and I felt myself getting more and more nervous. As soon as we stepped in the large lobby all the peoples attention were directed towards us. I still think it is a shock to the citizens of Pittsburgh when they see us cleaned up and not bruised and battered. I was wearing my new navy blue suit with a crisp white button up underneath, completed with my favorite grey tie. Neal was wearing his infamous purple suit. He swore this suit brought him good luck with the ladies. I didn't have the heart to tell him he could probably wear a cardboard box and the ladies would still want him, simply because his recent contract extension made him a very rich man. TK looked as goofy as ever, especially standing next to Tanger who looked like he just stepped out of a French modeling shoot.
"Should I go to the front desk and have them call the girls down?" I glanced nervously at my watch. 7:22. Damn time was moving slowly. I've been waiting on this moment all day long. I couldn't get Abbey out of my head. I had a great time with her the night before, but it ended quite abruptly thanks to my epic puking skills.
"Good idea Sid. Meet us at the bar?" I nodded and made my way over to the large wooden front desk. The short red head looked more than eager to help me. That desperate look I so often got had really gotten old. Almost every women who ever looked at me had the same 'oh my god fuck me, date me, marry me' look on there faces. Abbey was different tho. When she looked at me it was…..
"Hello Mr. Crosby, how can I help you?" the bubbly ginger interrupted my day dreaming. This was probably for the best, I would of stood there for hours thinking of those big brown eyes.
"Yes mam, could you call room 756 for me and tell them there ummm dates are here." Dates. Man that sounded so formal, but I couldn't think of a better word. I guess they were dates, but that word sounded so…unfamiliar. I do not date. Its plain and simple. I just do not have time for it. This would be my one exception for the year. I kept telling myself that seeing her one more time would get it out of my system. She would leave in a day or so to go back to her small college town, and I would go back to being the hockey god I was born and raised to be.
"Of course sir!" The hotel clerk picked up a phone located just to the left of her and punched in the girls hotel room number. I had to talk to several different managers, and send a few autographed pucks over to retrieve there hotel number. I didn't realize a last name was so important with hotel information.
"Miss. O'Haleigh says they'll be down in five minutes." She smiled kindly as she hung up the phone. O'Heleigh. Hmmm that must be her last name. I had spent hours at the baseball game talking to her, but somehow skipped over her last name. It sounds Irish. Must explain her phenomenal drinking ability.
The guys and I sat at the bar for what seemed like an eternity. I glanced at my watch just about every minute. It had been seven whole minutes and they still weren't here. "Girls!" I murmured under my breath. Between my mom and Taylor I think i've spent half my life waiting on females.
"Calm down captain, they'll show. Trust me" Tanger sounded so confident. I wish I could be as calm and cool as he was. The rest of the guys looked pretty relaxed as well.
"Really dude. You gotta relax a little every once in a while, 2 more weeks and then you can go back to being uptight control freak captain, as for now. Lets have fun! Please. " Neal clicked his beer to mine and I nodded in agreement. He was right. Tonight was about fun. I took a sip of my beer thinking that it may help my extreme anxiousness. I had already decided that I would drink tonight, but not half as much as last night. If things go how I imagine them too, I don't want to be throwing up. I went for another anxious glare at my watch when I was stopped by TK grabbing onto my shoulder…
"Oh my god." He sounded seriously shocked. "And I thought they looked good in cut off pirate t-shirts". I turned around quickly in my bar stool to see exactly what TK was talking about. They are here. Finally. A huge sigh of relief filled me. It was like they were walking in slow motion across the spacious hotel lobby heading right towards the bar. They walked in a line all standing beside each other like they were charging into battle. Each girl was wearing a different bright colored dress, they all looked so different from last night. Much more sophisticated and grown up. Abbey was in the middle. As soon as our eyes met, we were locked. She was wearing a bright yellow flowy dress that was cut fairly short. Her legs seemed to go forever, that's what she was in this dress. All legs. She seemed pretty short yesterday, but now that she was standing on what looked like very expensive heels she was almost my exact height. She was wearing a black sweater that was pulled tightly around her. I wanted to see what was under there so bad, there was no need to hide that body.
"Hi boys" Abbey said sounding ever so sly. Now that she was closer I could see all the small details of her. Her hair was slightly pulled back from her face and fell in lose big curls all around her. I could tell she had on more makeup than yesterday, but she was still just as stunning. Her shiny lip gloss made my mind lead to places I should surely save for later. I had to use all the self control I had not to reach up at that moment and kiss her. "Shall we?" she gestured towards the doors and on cue all 4 of us jumped up out of our bar seats.
Neal led the way escorting Allie by handing his arm out to her like a gentleman. I had never seen such a thing with Neal! To much of my surprise, each of the guys followed suit until it was my turn. I quickly glanced around the room and noticed we had quiet the audience. Shit. I wasn't suppose to be seen with any girls, let alone seen escorting the hottest female in this hotel to my limo. She must of seen the worry on my face, because she was quickly brushing up beside me. It sent an electric shock threw my veins I have only felt once in my life before, when I won the cup. I swallowed deeply and looked in her burning eyes, surely she felt it too.
"Oh Sidney. Haven't you ever heard the phrase 'lets give em something to talk about'. You can either stand here and act all awkward and shy or grab me by the arm and escort me out to the car. They're gonna talk no matter what. Might as well give them a show, I didn't get dressed up for nothing ya know!" She giggled and smiled the most mischievous looking smile I've ever seen. Oh what the hell, I stood up and grabbed her by the arm taking her by surprise.
"My lady…" I held out of arm gesturing towards the door. Her laugh was infectious as we both strode threw the lobby and out the door we both couldn't control our laughter. All the others had already gotten into limo and were waiting on us.
"Wow. I thought that red head at the front desk was gonna come at me. Did you see the look on her face!" Abbey was right. Most of the women in that lobby looked like they were going to come straight after her. Those who weren't seeping with anger had taken out camera phones and started to flash them very close to our faces."I can see why you avoid that. Scary." Her cute girly giggling had stopped and her smile had turned into a hard line.
"Hey" I grabbed her chin to make sure we had direct eye contact. "Ignore that. Lets have fun, please?" my words quickly turned her frown into a shy smile. She was turned to walk away from me when I grabbed her again and planted a soft gentle kiss on her forehead. "Thought I'd return the gesture." I winked at her and slowly turned to open the door to the limo. I was sure to let her in first just to get a glance at her curvaceous butt in that yellow dress. I licked my lips
Ah! He knew! I was sure that he was black out drunk and would of forgotten my goodbye kiss. It was a pretty harmless kiss, but his returning gesture made me sad that I didn't go for the lips. His lips had to be the sexiest part of him, besides the rock hard body, or piercing eyes, or…hell he's just beautiful. It should be a crime to look as good as he does right now sitting beside me in this hideously expensive limo. His suit pants fit snug around his thick muscular thighs. They were huge! If his legs were that thick I could only imagine other parts. My naughty day dreaming was interrupted by KiKi who was handing me a glass of champagne. "Cheers!"everyone screamed as we crossed one of Pittsburgh many bridges into the city lights.
Dinner was beyond delicious. We went to a really nice hibachi restaurant that was located in the middle of the city. Sidney and I sat beside each other at dinner, and continued to talk just like we did at the pirates game. He told me about his extremely strict diet, that he had followed for years! His drive and determination intrigued me the most about him. Everything he talked about he seemed very passionate about. And he talked a lot. It was fine to me, but the other couples had seemed to of gotten much closer over dinner. Everyone was starting to get very touchy. Emma was sitting on TK's lap at the end of the meal. KiKi and Kris were feeding each other and sucking on each others chopsticks. Ew. Even Allie the most reserved one of the group had her legs propped up in Jame's lap after the dinner was over. Sidney hadn't touched me since his kiss outside the Hotel. I was starting to think he was putting me in the friend zone with the amount of talking he was doing. I didn't mind listening to his stories, but I needed…more.
"We should get out of her soon. I'd like to see my friend Anthony DJ and he's the first to spin tonight." I said to Sid giving him a sweet smile. We had been finished for a while, now just sitting and enjoying conversation. We all drank several bottles of wine over dinner except Sidney, whom had 1 glass and didn't even finish it until I said that sentence. He wasn't drunk, wonder why he was rambling?
"Of course." He smiled brightly and waved over to our tables private waiter. We were in our own private room, that was clearly designated only for the high rollers. I was taken back when Sidney handed her a black credit card he produced from his wallet. I knew he was rich, but geez.
"Sid…really, I can't let you pay for everyone. Its just wrong. Let me get our food, or the bottles of wine. You didn't even drink any for Christ sakes!" I was digging in my clutch for my own credit card when he finally touched me. He grabbed my purse out of my hand and clasped my hands and simply shook his head no.
"No. My treat. Okay?" He had no smile on his face which made me shake my head in agreement very quickly. He was scary when he was serious. He definitely ment business.
"Okay. Thanks Sidney, dinner was fabulous." I placed by hand on his large thigh, which seemed to of catch him by surprise. I could feel my palm heat up just by touching him. He swallowed hard like I had startled him. We were quickly interrupted by the small Asian waiter handing Sidney back the black folder with his receipt and card inside. I glanced at the bill not really wanting to see how much it cost. Over 1000$. Holy crap! Definitely one of the most expensive meals I've ever had. Trying to hide my horrified face, I glanced at Kiki who quickly could tell I needed a quick escape.
"Okay boys! Since were about done here, the girls and I need to be excused to the restrooms for a second. Can't go to the hottest nightclub in Pittsburgh without looking extra fresh" KiKi said as she stood up gesturing to the rest of us to do the same. The guys all got up at the same time, what gentlemen!
"Well be out front, takes the limo a few to get back." Kris mouthed about 2 inches from KiKi's face. It was quiet a funny site. They were the same height on a good day, now on stilettos KiKi towered over him a good 5 inches.
We headed towards the bathroom all beeming with happiness. Tonight was about to get real wild. We had made sure all of our outfits were proper and classy for dinner. But in a few quick minutes are outfits are transformed into sexy, revealing and just plain hot. I took off my sweater and unclasped two safety pins, so it revleaed all off ermmm lack there of a dress. It was a halter top dress that was cut very low in between my breast. The back was completely missing revealing my ink covered skin. I hope he liked tattoos. I pulled my dress up to reveal even more leg. Glancing in the mirror, I felt hot. Damn. I even looked hot.
"Girl your gonna break some hearts tonight" Kiki grabbed my shoulders staring at me in the mirror. The rest of them had similar outfit adjustments, all revealing a lot more skin. "I would kill for your body girl, and they way that boy was looking at you earlier. He's surely gonna melt now." KiKi said as she handed me over lip gloss. Always our last touch. I guess my body was okay, atleast this dress sure made it appear that way. My breast were fake, I had gotten them over 2 years ago. I had always been extremely skinny and flat chested with a large 'ghetto' booty if you will. After years of crying over my self image, I finally convinced my mom to let me go ahead with the surgery. They were not too large, or too small anymore. Just perfect. Since my augmentation I had found myself to have a lot more self-confidence. Today was no different; I was now determined to have my way with that boy. Surely this outfit will make him feel the same way.
We walked out of the restroom in a single file line. I wanted to be last so I could stay hidden the longest. We found the boys out-front standing beside the awaiting limmo. All the mens eyes went to their dates for the evening. My eyes were scanning around for Sidney, but I couldn't find him. Quickly I panicked.
"Um…Where's Sid?" I said looking all around. Oh no. My worst fears, he had ditched me after dinner. I was relieved when Neal pointed around the corner of the building.
"Miss me?" Sid laughed "Sorry, had to return a call. Ready?" He still hadn't looked up from his phone as he muttered something else. When he finally shoved his blackberry in his pocket his eyes finally met me. The look on his face was exactly what I had hopped for. His chin hit the ground as his eyes quickly scanned up me up and down
"You look….wow." Sid mumbled, his mouth was still gawking wide open. Maybe this outfit wasn't the right choice.
"Is it too much?" I said trying to pull my dress down and cover my cleavage. Suddenly he grabbed my hands and put them back down to my sides.
"No. It's perfect, really. Don't you dare change a thing." He had no smile on his face, but was giving me such a serious look I could feel his honesty. I loved this about Sid. He was such a genuine guy. In this day in age they were seriously becoming few and far between. We both stood there for a brief second staring at each other when I finally heard the others screaming at us.
"LETS GOOO" Kiki screamed and drug me off to the limo. I turned around quickly to catch a quick glance of Sidney's young smile laughing at me. That smile tugged at my heart and gave me a feeling I hadn't felt in years. I tried to shake it of and remind myself this was a one time thing, but something told me different. I pushed that thought to the back of my mind and concentrated on the moment at hand. The limo drove off towards the club as I noticed everyone was wearing the same stupid grin. Time to show these boys the most fun they've ever had….
