I'm really sorry I haven't posted a new chapter in a while, I will really try to be better to post more often. I also am working on Kris Letang story, if you would like to read it, I will post it and I could alternate between this story and that one.
Taylor woke up that morning the same way she had fallen asleep. She got up quietly to go to the bathroom and then headed downstairs to make breakfast. She began to pull out things from the fridge and cupboards and began making some sort of breakfast concoction. Sidney never ate much at home so he only had basics.
Shortly after Taylor began preparing breakfast Sidney came downstairs, his dark hair tousled, he's chiselled torso exposed and his wrinkled pyjama bottoms.
"Good morning." Taylor said in a chipper tone as she continued cooking.
"Mmm…good morning." Sidney said still half asleep. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her from behind and placed a kiss on her cheek.
Breakfast was rather silent, but not an awkward silence and enjoyable silence, they just enjoyed each others company. They would occasionally share a few glances and speak a few words but mostly I silent morning for the pair.
"I'm going to shower and get ready to head to the arena." Sidney said getting up to put their dishes in the dishwasher.
"Okay." Taylor said standing by the counter. Sidney walked over kissed her on the head and made his way upstairs.
"Ugh… just ask me out already." Taylor said under her breath getting antsy on waiting for the moment Sidney would ask her to be his girlfriend.
"Did you say something?" Sidney came around the corner.
"Uh…no I didn't." Taylor said looking like a deer in headlights.
"Okay." he said and made his way upstairs.
Sidney left Taylor her ticket and pass to get into the lounge afterwards, she would be sitting with the Lemieux'. Taylor was very friendly and made friends very quickly, but Sidney was a little worried about the his team mates significant others feeling a little threatened by her celebrity status. The wives and girlfriends are nice but when Hilary Duff came along with her husband and new member of the Pittsburgh penguins Mike Comerie, they weren't exactly friendly and he figured same would go for Taylor if not worse. Eventually they came around for Hilary, but Taylor and Sidney weren't exactly official yet so he felt the need to protect her from all their speculations.
A car came to pick her up in the evening and drove her to the Consol. She was escorted up to the box where Nathalie was impatiently awaiting her arrival.
"Nat you're gonna scare the poor girl away." Mario said to his wife whom was much to nervous to meet this girl.
"Well I have to make sure she's good for Sidney." Nathalie threw her arms in the air.
"Sidney is 23 years old, he makes his own decisions." He said slowly making sure she heard every word that came out his mouth.
"Mhmm." Nathalie sighed.
"Look its Taylor Swift, I don't think she could do much harm." Mario said trying to reassure her. He was going to say the worst thing she could do is write a song about him, but Nathalie's brain was over processing things today so he figured he should keep his mouth shut.
Taylor made her way up to the Lemieux' box and lightly tapped on the door. She was greeted by a tall dark man, she immediately knew this was Mario.
"Hi I'm Taylor." She put out her hand. Mario her delicate hand into his large male hand and gave a good shake.
"It's very nice to meet you Taylor, I'm Mario." He lead her over to the seats.
"and Taylor this is my wife Natalie."
"Hi Nathalie it's very nice to meet you." Taylor greet her with a smile.
"It's nice to meet you too." Nathalie smiled and all her nerves went away.
They sat down and the game began. Taylor was really into the game and cheering on the penguins just like a fan would. Mario was genuinely impressed by her enthusiasm for the game.
"So Taylor you enjoy hockey?" Mario asked.
"I love it! I go to games in Nashville or LA when I can." She smiled and Mario smiled back at her.
The game ended and unfortunately the pens lost 2-1, it was a bad loss they played to their fullest but it was still a loss.
Mario escorted Taylor to the lounge where all the wives and girlfriends sat and waited for the guys to come out. She sat there by herself waiting for Sidney, all the other girls sat there and looked, I was strange to them to have such a huge star be one of them.
"Hey." Sidney said coming up to her and everybody stared.
"Hi" She smiled
"Did you enjoy yourself?" He said taking her hand and leading her out of the room.
"Yes I had a great time. Mario and Nathalie seem to be very nice." she said honestly
"Yeah they're great."
"I'm sorry that you guys lost." she frowned.
"Don't be, it's not your fault and it was close." He smile at her
"Very." She smiled feeling at ease around him.
They walked out to Sidney's vehicle and got in. The ride in the car was filled with laughter and talk. It was a nice ride home and they imagined doing this with each other more often. They got to Sidney's and had a little something to eat.
"So you had fun tonight?"
"Yes I had lots of fun." She took a bite from her sliced apple.
"Come on let's go to bed."
They were laying in bed talking. It felt nice for Sidney to be able to have someone to talk to before bed. He always went to bed alone, he lived for hockey and needed to find someone he could love more then hockey, Taylor could possibly be that one.
"If you weren't playing hockey what would you be doing?" Taylor asked
"I don't know all I've ever known has been about hockey." He said never being asked that question and probably would never really know the answer to it.
"What about you? If you weren't doing music?"
"I think I would still be writing, maybe songs or novels, I don't but I would definitely be writing." They eventually fell asleep in Sidney's bed, peacefully.
There was only a day left before Taylor was leaving and Sidney was trying to find the right moment to ask her to really be his girlfriend. So it only left Sidney with the decision to create the right moment.
He drove them to the restaurant where they first shared dinner together, just this time they were dressed appropriately for the atmosphere.
"Sidney tell me about your family?" Taylor asked.
"Well all my family is back in Nova-Scotia, There's my Mom Trina and My Dad Troy and I have a little sister named Taylor." He smiled sheepishly at the fact that the girl he had fallen for had shared the same name as his younger sibling.
"Well this Taylor seems like she'd be pretty great." Taylor smiled humorously.
"Well she really is a great kid." He smiled feeling proud of his little sister.
"So everyone in you family has name that starts with a T except for you?"
"Yep, my mom used to say its 'cause I'm special, I think its just a coincidence." He laughed
"Well you are a special person Sidney." She smiled sweetly
After dinner at the restaurant the pair took a stroll in a park nearby. The talked more about their families and other things. Sidney stopped in front of a park bench with light up trees surrounding and taking Taylor's hands in to his. She looked down feeling shy, he lifted her chin and brushed a blonde curl out of the way.
"Taylor ever since you landed in Pittsburgh I've been wanting to ask you something." He bit his bottom lip. "Would you be my girlfriend?"
