Still KPOV
"Ms. Gates...." I heard the doctor say.
"Yeah?" I heard the tone of her voice, she was in pain.
"Do you feel like you can go home and stay comfortable?" I heard him continue. I was stressing to hear everything from outside the closed door. Everyone had went home but TK, Rachel (Staals woman), and myself. Everyone else was on standby.
"Yeah, I think so. How long do I have to keep this crap on my wrists?"
"About a week. They need to be changed every day, and kept dry. If you have any problems or question, I will leave my contact info for you. I need to see you for a follow up in about 3 days. Seems like you have a following outside waiting for you. I know you'll be in great hands." The door opened so TK and I backed off.
"Well guys, she can go home. I want her to rest. She'll need a lot of help while the wounds heal. She'll need to follow up with me in a few days." He smiled at us. "She is set to go home."
"Thanks doc." I said. I didn't want to try to pronounce big words right now, my accent would get in the way too much. I just wanted to get her and get out of there.
-HPOV-
"Ugh! Come on Kris! I can walk!" I said annoyed as he carried me to his loft.
"You might be able to walk, but I don't want you to fall and reopen those." He said looking at the bandages.
"Kristopher Sheldon Letang put me DOWN!" I was getting more annoyed than ever because of the mediction.
"NO!" He replied. I saw a flash of anger in his eye and dropped it.
Once we got inside, I saw Sarah, Mischa, Rachel, Cooke, and his wife.
"Wow....you'd think I died or something." I said with a yawn.
"Well! You need us here to help you out! Kelsey said she'd be here after she got off work too. AJ is going to stay with Mrs. Malkin until you start to feel better." Rachel said looking at me with pleading eyes, "Besides, you have to have someone help you pee!" She laughed.
I rolled my eyes in response.
"Did anyone get the hard copy of the music video?" I asked looking around.
"Sid said he'd pick it up later today. The producer had to work with the final shot." Sarah replied, thinking how gross that scene really turned out to be.
There was a knock at the door.
"I'll get it." Cooke said getting up from the couch he was sitting on.
We walked down the hallway to the door. I heard the door open and could only make out half the conversation.
"No, I don't think that's a good idea." I heard Cooke say, "No, she is fine. She's resting. She doesn't ned stress right now Geno."
"Oh God!" I said outloud.
"What baby? You okay?" Kris said jumping up. This caused every head in the room to turn and look at them.
"I'm fine. WHAT?!" I said looking at them.
""Baby?" Rachel choked out.
"Yeah, we are together. Fine! Everybody happy now?!" I asked.
"Woah! Since when! Why wasn't I clued in on this?" Mischa said looking a little hurt.
"Since TB." I replied matter of factly.
"Olay everybody, I hate doing this to you but Heather needs rest. You guys can come back later." Kris replied stepping in to nip the drama in the butt.
With a lot of moans and groans everyone left.
"Thanks baby." Ireplied yawning again. Damn pain meds.
"Anything for you." He said, kissing my forehead. "You hungry?"
"Sorta. I wanted to tell you something though...." I was hoping he would let me get it out this time.
"Wait a minute. What do you want to eat? Chinese? Sushi? Perogies? Tacos?"
"KRIS!" I yelled.
"WHAT!?" He yelled back.
He wouldn't listen so I had to show him. He looked at me with panic in his eyes as I walked to him.
"I said I needed to tell you something now twice and you've weezeled your way out, you aren't this time!"
"What is it then?" He asked licking his lips.
"I..." -ring ring- The phone started to ring. "Ignore it."I responded.
"But..." He started to say.
"No buts! Listen to me....." I rested my arms on his shoulders. "Look at me.
"What?" He asked in a gentle voice this time. He looked at me with those eyes that made me melt.
"I love you. I need you. I want you." I said.
"I....I love you too." He replied kissing me so softly.

Part 3
Thanks to the girls that are following this! You know who you are! :)
The next day before getting on the plane.....
-HPOV-
I hated the sound of the alarm clock at 5:30 in the morning! I yawned and realized that someone was holding me. I smiled as he reached to turn th alarm off.
"Morning..." He said smiling sleepily.
"Morning!" I replied more chipper than usual.
"You know, people are gonna be talking today." He said getting out of the bed.
"I know. Starting with Kelsey...." I laughed. I had to risk going to what should have been my room.
"Haha! Good luck! You'll smell like sex for months now!.....Oh wait! TK dropped your clothes off here yesterday. You are good!" He pointed to the corner.
"That would be mine! Thank you TK!" I said with fake enthusiasium.
"You know you love him!" He replied pulling his jeans and shirt on.
I finally drug myself out of the bed and went to my bag. I figured we were going to be on a plane home today so I could just relax. I pulled on a pair of tattered jeans and my favorite Aeropostale shirt I got in Pittsburgh. I had a smile on my face that I couldn't wipe off today. I hoped he didn't notce it........
-KPOV-
She was smiling likea little kid getting the toy they had begged for all year long. I smiled to myself as I held the hotel door for her.
"You sure you don't want me to carry my own bag?" She asked.
"Now, Heather! I carry around a 100 pound hockey bag every day and you are asking me about this stupid 20 pound bag?!" I acted hurt.
"I'm sorry..." She said.
"I was joking! Remember, you are with me now, not him. You can joke you know!" I replied giving her a hug. "And don't say you are sorry all the time. You have nothing to be sorry for."
As we loaded the bus she got pulled away by all her girlfriends. She looked back to me pleading. I smiled before I got bombarded by the guys.
""Hey Tanger Banger!" Talbot said coming up behind me. "What happened last night? You finally get laid!?"
"Nothing happened." I replied taking my carry-on with me.
"Come on! You know you hit that!" Dups said egging me on.
"We slept in seperate beds. I'm a gentleman." I replied. I hated when they did this.
Everyone on the team gave e hell for not sleeping around and being what Sid called a manwhore.
"I will find out you know that right?!" Dups said.
"Come on guys!" The new coach yelled.
-HPOV-
"Come on guys! Bus is leaving!" I heard the new coach yell. "You girls can finish your chitchat on the bus!" He pointed to Kris and the other guys around him. Us girls died laughing. Kris stopped me outsde the bus.
"What did you tell them?" He questioned.
"I told them we were friends and nothing happened. Mischa doesn't believe me. Rachel said Staalsy told her he heard us on the way to their room. Sarah said she doesn't care." I replied looking into his gorgeous hazel eyes. " And you?"
"Same thing pretty much. Dups and Superstar don't believe me though." He said, looking around us.
"Hey Heather! Hey Kris!" Sykora said walking by. Kris gave him a look to see if he had heard anything.
"Hey Pittbull!" I replied, elbowing Tanger when Syykie turned around.
"What?!" He asked.
"You look guilty! Play cool damnit!" I said. I was getting pissed.
"Look, there's Sid. I gotta go talk to him about something. Talk to you at the airport?" He said looking away.
"Sure. I'm just gonna work on some music." I replied pulling out my lyric filled leather bound book Sarah had gotten me for my birthday the year before.
-On the plane....still HPOV-
"Hey Heather! What's up?" Matt Cooke asked sitting next to me.
"Hey Cookie Monster!" I said looking up from my writing. " Just working on some music for when I get back. I still got a lot to do at the studio."
"That's awsome! I can not wait to hear your songs. The wife said she wants to come on tour with you haha! I told her no way in hell! She's my MILF!" He replied laughing.
He and his wife were some of my closest friends in Pitt. "Have you decided where you are going to live now? I know your daughter is coming home soon."
"No, I haven't. I was going to look online when we got back at some places. I guess I don't have a home to go to now." I was getting really down then.
"What about TK? You two are really close." He said pulling me into a hug.
"Idk Cookie. That place is already pretty full. I mean, I have my daughter. Idk if I want her to be around partying and all when I do get to spend time with her. Him and Staalsy party way too hard."
'Well, don't get down. You can stay with us if you need to until you find a place." He smiled.
He always knew just what to say to light up the dark.
"Thanks! Btw! I wanted to ask you a personal favor but you can't tell anyone."
"Sure hon, what is it?"
"I want you to be the love interest in my music video for Slow Good-bye. You don't have to if you don't want to, but I wanted to do it as a thank you. You supported my music when not a lot of people did."
"I'd be honored! Tell me when to be there and I will do my best!" He said smiling and getting up. "Now if you excuse me.....Crosby has challenged me to a SoCom war on PSP!"
"Alright! Kick his ass! Show him up! Get some bragging rights!" I replied.
The rest of the plane ride to Pitt was uneventful for the most part. Flower and Godard started a small food fight though that pretty much trashed the plane. By the time we got off of it, I think the crew was more happier to be on solid ground than we were.
Over the next few weeks, I stayed with Cooke and his wife. In return I babysat when I wasn't at the studio. Tanger and I snuck around seeing each other at this time as well. We were taking it slow, figuring out if it was something we really wanted or not before we told everyone else. Nobody but TK knew what was going on. I went to as many games as I could to cheer them all on. I was finally coming to terms with these emotions overtaking me. It was almost Valentine's Day when I got word from my record label that I could start my music video. I gave Cooke the dates and where to be. I couldn't believe how lucky I was right now.
-On the set of the music video-
"Okay Heather! I am here to love you!" Cooke said laughing. His two kids were playing with my daughter in my tralier.
"Okay, here is the teatement for the music video. Basically we are lovers who keep fighting. Diferent aspects of it. A lot of flashbacks and such. Then at one point, I throw my cellphone at the mirror and shatter it." I said, holding a piece of my signature teal and pink paper.
"K. Sounds good!"
"Okay Heather, you ready?" The director asked, while setting up a camera.
"Yep! Here we go Cookie!" I skipped to my spot and waited for my cue.
I poured my heart into the song. It was about myself and Geno. About the times we said good-bye and came back. It basically played out our entire relationship for the world to see. When it came to the bridge, I froze.
"What's wrong?" Cooke asked when the camera stopped.
"I can't get the emotion I want." I said, shocked. I wanted to be pissed at Geno for everything. Every lie, every game he played on me.
"Okay, think back to the worst time of you and him. Now look at me and sing it like I was him. Get mad at me." Cooke said trying to help me.
"Okay roll!" I yelled.
I went back in my mind to the night at the bar. The more I thought about it, the more pissed I got. I sang with every emotion in me. When it came to throwing the cell, I did not realizing I threw it a little too hard. Glass went into my wrists.
"FUCK!" I yelled as the burning pain traveled up my arm.
"Grab a towl!" Was the last thing I remembered until I woke up at the ER.
-KPOV-
My cellphone was going off like crazy. I figured it was my mom again, checking up on me. Then Staal came running up to me.
"TANGER! Heather was hurt! We gotta get to the hospital!" He was running, throwing shoes on and grabbing truck keys.
I stood there in shock.
'Are you coming!?" He yelled. I snapped out of it, throwing my wireless controller to the floor. I don't remember the ride to the hospital. When we finally got there, TK met us outside. He had a Newport in his one hand and a lighter in the other.
"What happened?!" Staalsy asked nervously.
"All I know, " TK replied lighting the cigerette and inhaling once, "is that she got cut somehow on the video set. Cooke is covered in blood and freaking out. She's in some kind of surgery." He exhaled.
"Where's her daughter?!" I asked, knowing AJ was there today.
"Natalie Malkin has her. She's fine. She doesn't even know anything happened really." TK replied.
"What's up with you two? You are really protective of her lately." Staalsy asked starting to calm down after taking a few hits from TK's Newport.
"This isn't the time. I'm going inside." I replied pissed and scared. This was the hospital I had to say good-bye to Jenny in. I hated everything about it.
"COOKE!" I yelled as I walked in.
"Tanger, she's asking for you. She just woke up."He replied walking up to me. I saw the blood all over his shirt.
"What happened?" I had to know before I walked in on it
"She was supposed to throw this cell at a mirror that wasn't supposed to actual glass but it was and it shattered all over her arms. Her one wrist was really bad and they had to go in and make some repairs. She's going to be okay though." Cooke said, looking me in the eyes to see if I was okay. "I know you hate this hospital bro. I'm sorry you had to come back for something like this. I know you two are really clsoe friends. I'll leave you alone now to go be with her."
"Thanks Cooke." I said shaking his hand.
I walked in to her room and saw her laying there.
-Flashback-
"Tanger. Jenny was in an accident. I don't know how bad it is, but it doesn't look good. You need to get to UPMC as soon as possible." Mario said pulling me into the locker room after a winning game.
"What?! I don't know how to get there. I...I..." I freaked out.
"Come on man, I'll take you. I know exactly where it is." Matt Cooke said overhearing our conversation.
"Thanks!"
-End flashback-
She looked so pale laying there. She opened her eyes and smiled at me.
"Hey...." She sounded so weak.
"Shh....don't talk! Save your energy. Just rest. I'm here." I said leaning down and kissing her forehead.
"Tanger, I'm gonna be fine. I just can't move my wrists for two weeks." She said looking so serious.
"Just rest. You are coming back to my place. I'll take care of AJ so don't worry about her."
I brushed some of her stray hairs out of her face.
"Tanger, I need to tell you something. I've held it in long enough."
"What?" I was afraid.
"I....Kris...I..." She was inturupted by the nurse.
"How are you feeling hon?" The nurse asked her, checking all the normal stuff.
"Fine. My arms are numb but I know why. When can I get out of here?" She hated these places as much as I did.
"The surgeon wants to talk to you in about an hour and see how you feel then. If you are comfortable enough, he might let you go home. Until then sir," She looked at me, "you need to step out and let her rest."
"Okay, sure thing."I replied. "I'll be back to get you in a little bit." I said kissing her head.
"But Kris, I wanna tell you..."
"Tell me later." By then the pain medicine the nurse gave her had started to kick in and her eyes got heavy.
I think she was asleep by the time I walked out of the room.

"This isn't the time. I'm going inside." I replied pissed and scared. This was the hospital I had to say good-bye to Jenny in. I hated everything about it.

Part 2!!!
Hey girls! So sorry about the lack of major updates lately! I started a new job and I am working 12 hours a day 5 days a week plus my daughter is in all kinds of sports so they might be few and far in between but thank you for the comments! Keep them coming!!!!!
"Lets get him back to the hotel before I puke!" Talbot said.
-Later that night-
-Knock Knock-
Heather heard on her door an almost silent knock.
"Heather, its Sarah hon. Are you okay?" Sarah, Heather's best friend and Sid Crosby's girlfriend called through the door.
Heather got off the bed and opened the door.
"Hey...." Heather slurred in a drunken crying fit.
"Oh my poor closet Canadian!" Sarah responded to the look on her friends face. It was their personal inside joke that always made her laugh.
"I can't believe he did that!" Heather cried, not laughing and slamming the door.
"Wow...okay....hon listen, he's not worth it! You are so pretty and funny, and look at what he's with! She looks like a rat wih over grown teeth and hair!" Sarah was laughing while saying this. At that moment Heather lost it and died laughing.
"HAHAHA! SO true! Oh Sarah, no matter what you can make me laugh my ass off!" Heather replied through tears of laughter instead of sadness now.
"C'mon eh! Let's go check on Tangers!" Sarah extended her hands out to help Heather off the floor which she had fallen on laughing.
-Kris' POV-
"I was so stupid not to take my migrine medicine this morning!" Kris thought to himself. "That check by Tampa Bay was't helping either!" It was 2:45 in the morning and he couldn't sleep. Talbot wasn't back from hanging with Staal so it was nice and quiet. I couldn't stop thinking about Heather at the bar. She was so heartbroken, yet so caring about me. Over the past few months we had ecome close, but she loved Geno , not me. I had lost Jenny about six months before meeting her. Some drunk driver took her from me. Heather had been there to listen . She was everything Jenny couldn't be to me anymore. I was about to fall asleep when I heard a knock at the door followed by a slew of giggles. I figured it was some teenager or puckbunny and tried to ignore it. I turned over and that's when I heard Sarah's thick Canadian accent through the door.
"Come on Heather. He must be asleep. We'll check on him in the morning."
I got out of bed so fast I thought I was going to puke again from the pain. I knew I had to see her though. To make sure she was okay.
"Hang on! I'm coming!" I called into the dark. God that really didn't sound right....I laughed thinking to myself.
I opened thedoor and stepped back squinting from the bright lights of the hotel hallway.
"Oh sorry!" Heather said as her and Sarah stepped quickly inside.
"It's cool. I took some meds so I should start feeling bettr here soon." I replied.
"Um....Kris....I can't see a thing and I am NOT risking my life to get to a chair in here!" Sarah said laughing. I could tell she was up to something. "Besides, I am really tired so I am going to go back to Sid. Just wanted to make sure you were okay." And like that she was gone. So there we wee alone. I could tell she was drunk. She was too giggly and couldn't stand up without holding onto the wall.
"Here, take my hand." I said to her holding it out for her to take.
"Ugh! I HATE TALBOT RIGHT NOW!" She slurred. "He gve me vodka when we got back." She laughed and slurred more.
I put my arm around her waist and guided her to my bed.
"Hey Kris, did you know Geno had her here?" She asked sounding like a little girl.
"Not until after the game. I wanted to call you, but decided that I would wait and tell you when we got back. I think a lot of the guys were." I replied.
"Am I not pretty enough? I mean, I tried so hard to be what he wanted. I grew my hair out longer and dyed it blonde, tried to lose weight, be there for him..." She trailed off.
"Heather, you are beautiful! And as far as being what he wanted, you need to be you! I love being around you when he's not. You become this fun person. When we hang out you make me laugh. When he's around, you become a robot. You aren't real like." I said pushing her bangs out of her face.
"I want to do something right now, but I don't know if it's because I am drunk or because I truely want to." She said. God it was so cute how she jumpedaround when she talked.
"What do you want to do?" I replied noticing my headache was gone.
"Oh...nothing. Look, I'm gonna go back to my room. Thanks for talking." She got up and stumbled trying to walk in a straight line.
:Stay? We can watch MTV or something. We have tomorrow off so, sleeping isn't really needed."
"But I don't have any clothes. And when Kelsey comes back with TK she will wonder where I am at." She replied.
"I'll text her saying I wanted someone to stay with me and asked you. Get one of my Kasual shirts out. You can sleep in that." I replied texting Talbot and Kelsey.
"What about Talbot?" SShe asked shyly.
"I texted him and Godard answered saying he is passed out there. Kelsey is staying in your room with TK. So you know what will happen there!" I replied laughing and shutting my phone.
"Oh Lord! Fine, where's your shirt?"
I turned on the lgiht for the first time and took notice to what she was wearing. Her bleach blonde hair was 3/4 the way down her back. Her 5'11 athletic frame was draped in form fitting flare jeans, black heels, and a sexy red and black checkered top. "It's uh...." I couldn't think. I had never seen her like that. "In my black bag over here." I got up and got it for her. It was going on 5 AM now. God only knows why she got dressed for bed now.
-Heathers pov-
I went into the bathroom to cahnge. The nights events were catching up to me. As I put on his black Kasual shirt, I couldn't help but taking in his scent on it. "God, he smells so damn good!" I thought.
"Hey, you okay or do you need me to hold your hair?" A concerned Kris called through the door.
"I'm fine. Just folding up my clothes." I responded.
When I came out he was laying on his bed with just sweatpants on. He patted the spot next to him. I was so ired I got on the soft bed and cuddled up next to him. I was so tired and drunk I must of crashed . When I woke up it was past noon. Kris was nowhere to be found. Beside me wasa pink stargazer lilly(my absolute fave flower), a bagel, and a note. On the night stand was a sprite. I picked up the note and read:
Heather,
Went to the gym in town. Decided to let you sleep. Don't bother going to your room...it's occupied haha! We are close to the same size so just grab some of my clothes. Be back around 12:30. Hope you are feeling better! Later-Kris
I got up, grabbed a pair of his tattered Kasual jeans (yes I know.....haha everytime I have ever seen him anywhere he has on something Kasual lol:) ) and a white t-shirt. I had to laugh because I had to wear heels. I wasn't going to interupt the current "lovefest" going on in my room! I decided to call a cab and go to the mall. I had no way to do my makeup so I touched it up the best I could. I used some of his hair supplies to fix my hair and used my finger and toothpaste to brush my teeth. I ate my bagel and drank my sprite while waiting for the cab to come. I sent Kris a text telling him where I was going and asked him to send me a text if he wanted to meet up. I sent Mischa (Talbot's girl) and Sarah a text of where I would be. I had a lot to do today and not a lot of time to do it in.
-Kris' POV-
She had snuggled with me so close while she slept. She looked so peaceful until she started talking about Geno in her sleep. I couldn't take it anymore and around 9 decied to go to the gym. I left her a note and a hangover breakfast(thanks to Talbot I knew what to get her since I only drink a little), and left. It was a fifteen minute walk to the gym so instead of taking a cab or bus, I decied to walk it. I turned my I-Pod on and started running. I had to clear my head. Since Jenny died, I didn't think I could ever feel this way about a woman. When I got to the gym it was nice to see it slightly empty. I got so into my workout that I didn't even notice the time. It was 2:20 when I looked at the clock. "Shit! I told her I would be back by 12:30! I hope he doesn't think I was eatten alive by some puckbunnies!" I thought to myself. I hurried to the locker room and pulled out my cellphone. I had 5 missed texts and 2 missed calls. My mom and Sid had called me. I had texts from TK, Staalsy, Talbot, Godard, and her. I passed up everyone elses for hers.
Thanks for leaving me that note and breakfast! That was really sweet hon! :) Going to mall. Called cab. Come meet me up if you want! xoxo
I grabbed a quick shower and got a cab to the mall.
I'm here. -K
Meet me in ten at the food court! xoxo
K. Stopping by LV. Going to get my mom somethng for her b-day.-K
When I got to the food court, I looked for her long blonde hair and didn't see her.
Where are you at?-K
Looking dead at you :) xoxo
Where?-K
Look to your left hehe xoxo
I looked and saw a girl with dark brown short hair sorta like mine looking at me. She kind of looked like Heather, but not. My cell vibrating got my attention.
Gonna keep staring at me or come talk to me? xoxo
"HOLY SHIT! I didn't even know it was her!
-HPOV-
I lauged when he figured out it was me. It was so cute! That shy smile was to die for! Why had I never took notice before? Was I THAT involved with Geno? As he walked closer, I unconsicously fixed my new short dark brown inverted bob.
"You look absolutely stunning!" He said as he got closer.
"Thanks!" I smiled shyly.
"You cut your hair off....why?"
"Because I wanted to be free and to be me."
He was looking me up and down. I had purchased a completely new outfit and jewelry. Got my nails done and my makeup as well. Thank God for upscale salaons! The only downfall was I blew through $1500 in 2 hours! I pulled at my denim miniskirt. I felt self concious of how I looked. It was January but Sarah, Mischa, and I went tanning so I wasn't pale. I just felt out of place. I had gotten a teal tank top, matching flip flops, some silver hoop earrings, a flat topped ring, and a silver angel wing necklace to complete my new look. My stomach growling made me snap back to reality.
"Some of the guys are going to that seafood place with Malone tonight. You wanna go?" He asked shyly.
"You mean on a date?" I smiled.
"Well, umm....if you want to call it that."
"What time?" It was already 4:30.
"5ish. Malones wife and kids are coming too. You, Mishca, and Sarah alwys got along with Stephanie. Gneo will be there though. Is that okay?"
"Yeah it's fine. We better go."
We grabbed the bus becasue we decided it would be quicker than waiting for a cab. We got there at 6:15....fashionably late! When we rounded th corner my bff's and their significant others were waiting. Nobody including Sarah recognized me.
"Hey Kris! Whose the hottie?" Talbot asked with smile. That got hm elbowed by Mishca and an eye roll as well.
"My date." He smiled.
"Very pretty girl! Where did you meet?" Kelsey, TK's girlfriend asked.
"Geno's house. Awhile ago." He replied looking at Geno.
"She never at my house!" Geno replied in his broken English.
"Oh yeah I was!" I replied. "I lived there until that tramp." I said pointing at Oksana, "took my place!"
Kris grabbed my hand in response to my anger.
"Calm down." He whispered into my ear.
"Heather?!" I heard Sarah call.
"Yep! The new and improved!" I smiled.
"OMG! HOTNESS!" Mishca said.
"Guys, I would LOVE to talk but I haven't eatten all day and I am STARVED! Can we go inside?" I asked.
"Sure! Malone should be inside." Sid said smiling. Like the gentleman he is, Sid held the door open for everyone. Kris and I were inseperable the whole night. When asked if we were together, we looked at each other and then at Geno/Oksana and smiled.
"Nope, just friend like always." I replied hiding my true feelings inside.
"You two look like twin wth our hair cut the same way!" Oksana sai, her voice full of hate.
"I think she's beautiful!" TK rplied smiling at Heather They had been best friends since practically birth.
"Aww! Thank you TK!"
"So, TK, when is the wedding?" Malone asked trying to change the subject all together.
"Well," He laughed, "before Flower and after Army!"
"Oh Lord!" Kelsey said playfully smacking TK, "July 26th."
"Wow less than a year! This summer will be busy! We got Sid/Sarah, Army/Michelle, Flower/Vero, and you two!" Malone responded.
"Frequent flyer miles!!!!! Chicka chee chee!" Talbot said. That lifted the mood.
After a lovely seafood dinner we split up into groups. We were leaving te next morning so most of us responsible adults ddnt want to stay out....too late. :)
Sarh, Mischa, their boyfriends, Kris and I went ot the club. We didn't want a repeat of the night before so we went to a different one than the others. After getting enough alchol sin me I started dancing with Tanger. VIP in Tampa Bay was so different than Diesel! I waved to Sarah and Sid on the other side f the club. Those two trying to dance was a funny site to see even drunk! Talbot and Mischa were tearing up thedance floor. Made me look stupid. Kris had a beer in his hand and was trying like Sid t rock to the music. I walked up to himand started grinding on him. e was so shy he stopped moving.
-KPOV-
She was grinding her ass onme like no girl ever had. She looked so damn good! Talbot gave me a thumbs up as he dance and I just smiled back. When I couldn't control it anymore I sopped dancing. She looked at me confused. I motined I wanted to sit down and she followed. "C'mon Kris! She broke up with a guy yesterday! She doesn't want you!" I thought to myself. Just then TK came up.
"Hey Heather, Kelsey wants to dance and I am pooped. Will you go dance with with her for awhile?"
"SURE!" She yelled back huggng him as she got up.
When she was gone TK looked at me. I hated that look. It was his serious girl look.
"Dude! She is SO feeling you! She told me one night a long time ago when she was drunk! She said she wished Geno was you! She likes you man! When she dated any other guy she never looked at them the way she looks at you! I should know, I saw her every summer!"
"TK! CMON! She is out on the rebound. I want a real girlfriend. A real relationship. You know how I am."
"Do what you want bu you are stupid if you let her get away."
I watched as he walked up to Heather and Kelsey grinding on the dance floor. "Well Tangers, its now or never." I thought to myself.
"Hey Heather, I'm leaving. Here's my room key. We are roomies now. You wanna go back with me or stay until the club closes at 2?" I asked sorta hoping she would stay.
"Stay here! I'll see ya around 2:30 hon!" She replied.
"I got her!" Sarah said smiling.
"Thanks!" I replied. I knew Sarah was level headed and Heather would be safe with her and Mischa. I was off to find a Wal-Mart.....
-HPOV-
Sarah got tired about 1:30. It had been about half an hour since Tanger left. We all got on the bus nd went to the hotel. I was buzzed but very coherant. I said good-night to everyone and went to Kris' room. As I opened the door and walked in I was shocked. Candles were lite everywhere and Robin Thicke was playing softly in the background.
"Suprise...." Tanger said shyly smiling.
"Oh Tangers! Its...."
"A horrible idea. I'm sor..."
-KPOV-
Midsentence I was cut off by her lips pressing against mine. I lightly pushed her up against the now closed hotel door.
My hands ran over her body. She wasn't too skinny, but she wasn't heavy either. Just like I liked my women. Something to hold on to.
"Kris..." She sighed.
"Huh?" I asked looking her in the eyes.
"Are you sure?" She looked concerned.
"Mmmhhmmm." I said kissing her lips again. I needed to feel them on mine. Just then Promise by Jagged Edge came on.
"I love this song!" She said smiling the smile I liked so much.
"I know. I borrowed Staalsys compuer and burned a cd." I said so proud of my efforts. "Follow me." I said taking her hand and leading her to the jacuzzi tub filled with bubbles and floating rose petals.
"Tangers, why? Why me?" She asked.
"Ever since I lost Jenny, I felt like I couldn't be with anyone else. My world stopped. Then the othe night, I don't know. Seeing you heartbroken and down. I just wanted to be there for you. I never want to see you like that again. It broke my heart. I promise, I would never do what Geno did to you. You deserve so much more than that."
I saw tears forming in her eyes. I lifting my hand and wiped the single tear with my thumb.
"Kris, I dunno what to say. Thank you." She moved in to kiss me again.
That got me going again and there was no stopping myself this time. I reached for the bottom of er shirt and tugged it over her head. She was tugging at mine next. BeforeI knew it we were in the tub together. Everything was happening so fast, yet it felt so right.
"Kris..." She mummbled in between kisses.
"Yeah?" I asked only half listening.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked me again.
I leaned her back against the back of the tub and kissed her neck. When she moaned I took that as okay to proceed.
"Kris....the bed....now" She said in a moment of passion.
We got out of the tub and I carried her straight to the bed.
She kissed me so needy. She let out a small gasp as I entered her.
"Oh God Kris!" She moaned as she moved in sync with me.
I couldn't last anymore after feeling her climax for the last time.
When we were done, I looked over at her and saw her smiling.
"What's that smile about?" I asked half laughing.
"That was the first time I never faked!" She laughed.
"Are you fucking serious?!" I askd dumbfounded.
"Yep! HAHA!"
We curled up together and fell asleep. I couldn't believe how lucky I was at that moment.
"Lets get him back to the hotel before I puke!" Talbot said.
-Later that night-
-Knock Knock-
Heather heard on her door an almost silent knock.
"Heather, its Sarah hon. Are you okay?" Sarah, Heather's best friend and Sid Crosby's girlfriend called through the door.
Heather got off the bed and opened the door.
"Hey...." Heather slurred in a drunken crying fit.
"Oh my poor closet Canadian!" Sarah responded to the look on her friends face. It was their personal inside joke that always made her laugh.
"I can't believe he did that!" Heather cried, not laughing and slamming the door.
"Wow...okay....hon listen, he's not worth it! You are so pretty and funny, and look at what he's with! She looks like a rat wih over grown teeth and hair!" Sarah was laughing while saying this. At that moment Heather lost it and died laughing.
"HAHAHA! SO true! Oh Sarah, no matter what you can make me laugh my ass off!" Heather replied through tears of laughter instead of sadness now.
"C'mon eh! Let's go check on Tangers!" Sarah extended her hands out to help Heather off the floor which she had fallen on laughing.
-Kris' POV-
"I was so stupid not to take my migrine medicine this morning!" Kris thought to himself. "That check by Tampa Bay was't helping either!" It was 2:45 in the morning and he couldn't sleep. Talbot wasn't back from hanging with Staal so it was nice and quiet. I couldn't stop thinking about Heather at the bar. She was so heartbroken, yet so caring about me. Over the past few months we had ecome close, but she loved Geno , not me. I had lost Jenny about six months before meeting her. Some drunk driver took her from me. Heather had been there to listen . She was everything Jenny couldn't be to me anymore. I was about to fall asleep when I heard a knock at the door followed by a slew of giggles. I figured it was some teenager or puckbunny and tried to ignore it. I turned over and that's when I heard Sarah's thick Canadian accent through the door.
"Come on Heather. He must be asleep. We'll check on him in the morning."
I got out of bed so fast I thought I was going to puke again from the pain. I knew I had to see her though. To make sure she was okay.
"Hang on! I'm coming!" I called into the dark. God that really didn't sound right....I laughed thinking to myself.
I opened thedoor and stepped back squinting from the bright lights of the hotel hallway.
"Oh sorry!" Heather said as her and Sarah stepped quickly inside.
"It's cool. I took some meds so I should start feeling bettr here soon." I replied.
"Um....Kris....I can't see a thing and I am NOT risking my life to get to a chair in here!" Sarah said laughing. I could tell she was up to something. "Besides, I am really tired so I am going to go back to Sid. Just wanted to make sure you were okay." And like that she was gone. So there we wee alone. I could tell she was drunk. She was too giggly and couldn't stand up without holding onto the wall.
"Here, take my hand." I said to her holding it out for her to take.
"Ugh! I HATE TALBOT RIGHT NOW!" She slurred. "He gve me vodka when we got back." She laughed and slurred more.
I put my arm around her waist and guided her to my bed.
"Hey Kris, did you know Geno had her here?" She asked sounding like a little girl.
"Not until after the game. I wanted to call you, but decided that I would wait and tell you when we got back. I think a lot of the guys were." I replied.
"Am I not pretty enough? I mean, I tried so hard to be what he wanted. I grew my hair out longer and dyed it blonde, tried to lose weight, be there for him..." She trailed off.
"Heather, you are beautiful! And as far as being what he wanted, you need to be you! I love being around you when he's not. You become this fun person. When we hang out you make me laugh. When he's around, you become a robot. You aren't real like." I said pushing her bangs out of her face.
"I want to do something right now, but I don't know if it's because I am drunk or because I truely want to." She said. God it was so cute how she jumpedaround when she talked.
"What do you want to do?" I replied noticing my headache was gone.
"Oh...nothing. Look, I'm gonna go back to my room. Thanks for talking." She got up and stumbled trying to walk in a straight line.
:Stay? We can watch MTV or something. We have tomorrow off so, sleeping isn't really needed."
"But I don't have any clothes. And when Kelsey comes back with TK she will wonder where I am at." She replied.
"I'll text her saying I wanted someone to stay with me and asked you. Get one of my Kasual shirts out. You can sleep in that." I replied texting Talbot and Kelsey.
"What about Talbot?" SShe asked shyly.
"I texted him and Godard answered saying he is passed out there. Kelsey is staying in your room with TK. So you know what will happen there!" I replied laughing and shutting my phone.
"Oh Lord! Fine, where's your shirt?"
I turned on the lgiht for the first time and took notice to what she was wearing. Her bleach blonde hair was 3/4 the way down her back. Her 5'11 athletic frame was draped in form fitting flare jeans, black heels, and a sexy red and black checkered top. "It's uh...." I couldn't think. I had never seen her like that. "In my black bag over here." I got up and got it for her. It was going on 5 AM now. God only knows why she got dressed for bed now.
-Heathers pov-
I went into the bathroom to cahnge. The nights events were catching up to me. As I put on his black Kasual shirt, I couldn't help but taking in his scent on it. "God, he smells so damn good!" I thought.

I grabbed a quick shower and got a cab to the mall.

My hands ran over her body. She wasn't too skinny, but she wasn't heavy either. Just like I liked my women. Something to hold on to.
"Kris..." She sighed.
"Huh?" I asked looking her in the eyes.
"Are you sure?" She looked concerned.
"Mmmhhmmm." I said kissing her lips again. I needed to feel them on mine. Just then Promise by Jagged Edge came on.
"I love this song!" She said smiling the smile I liked so much.
"I know. I borrowed Staalsys compuer and burned a cd." I said so proud of my efforts. "Follow me." I said taking her hand and leading her to the jacuzzi tub filled with bubbles and floating rose petals.
"Tangers, why? Why me?" She asked.
"Ever since I lost Jenny, I felt like I couldn't be with anyone else. My world stopped. Then the othe night, I don't know. Seeing you heartbroken and down. I just wanted to be there for you. I never want to see you like that again. It broke my heart. I promise, I would never do what Geno did to you. You deserve so much more than that."
I saw tears forming in her eyes. I lifting my hand and wiped the single tear with my thumb.
"Kris, I dunno what to say. Thank you." She moved in to kiss me again.
That got me going again and there was no stopping myself this time. I reached for the bottom of er shirt and tugged it over her head. She was tugging at mine next. BeforeI knew it we were in the tub together. Everything was happening so fast, yet it felt so right.
"Kris..." She mummbled in between kisses.
"Yeah?" I asked only half listening.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" She asked me again.
I leaned her back against the back of the tub and kissed her neck. When she moaned I took that as okay to proceed.
"Kris....the bed....now" She said in a moment of passion.
We got out of the tub and I carried her straight to the bed.
She kissed me so needy. She let out a small gasp as I entered her.
"Oh God Kris!" She moaned as she moved in sync with me.
I couldn't last anymore after feeling her climax for the last time.
When we were done, I looked over at her and saw her smiling.
"What's that smile about?" I asked half laughing.
"That was the first time I never faked!" She laughed.
"Are you fucking serious?!" I askd dumbfounded.
"Yep! HAHA!"
We curled up together and fell asleep. I couldn't believe how lucky I was at that moment.
