Oh geez.

I just realized how short that last post really was. Oh god, so sorry. I have more planned, and I'll post it soon.

Score My Heart // Chapter Sixteen

Sorry guys! Super short chapter, but mores on its way!

I groan as I hear the sound of my ringtone going off. It can't be morning already, I thought. I reach for my phone that is set on my bedside table and look at the time. 4 am. I had definitely not set my alarm for 4 am. I flick open my phone gracelessly, forgetting to check who was calling at this time.

"Hello?" I whisper in my groggy early morning voice.

"Hey." I hear someone  whisper through the phone. When I realize it's Sidney, it causes a huge grin to form on my face, "I'm so sorry to wake you." He said quietly.

"Oh, that's okay. I had to wake up in a couple hours anyways." I say, sitting up and flicking on the lamp. "What's up?"

"I just... can't stop thinking about you." Sidney said softly, and I could tell he was embarrassed by his choice of words. "I mean, it's crazy. I don't think I've ever felt this way before." His words took me by shock. And I just sat there, jaw wide open.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is," I heard him take a deep breath, "I love you, Roxanne."

With those words, I couldn't help but feels my face spread into a immense smile.

"I love you too." I managed to whisper, seeing as I was still in shock.

"You mind if I come over?" Sidney asks with a chuckle.

"Now?" I laugh, "Okay."

"I'll see you soon." He said, softly, but obviously excited. I just laughed, said bye, then hung up before throwing my face into my pillow and screaming, repeatedly swatting my feet at the air in happiness.

Score My Heart // Chapter Fifteen

Before I get into this chapter, I'd like to say something. It goes something like this: WOOOOHOOOOO! PENS BABY! YOU'VE GOT YOUR CUP BOYS. SOOO PROUD OF YOU. <3>

Breathe in, breathe out, I told myself as I stepped out of my car in my black cocktail dress and red pumps. One foot in front of the other, don't trip, you'll look like a dumbass. I smiled weakly at Colby who was dancing his way over to me his arm extended in my direction. 

"Bonsoir, mademoiselle," he said, doing a little curtsy in front of me.

"Je vraiment pense que je vais vomir. Tienez mois, pour l'amour de dieu, je vais tomber dans ces souliers foux. Merde." I muttered to him in my native-tongue, making him gape at me wide-eyed.

"You know, I never got past bonjour, right?" he said, shaking his head.

"Sorry," I mumbled, breathing heavily as I walked into the Lemieux's household.

"Sidney's upstairs, I think. Either that or he's in the kitchen with Nathalie helping her with dinner. He's such an efeminine. You have no idea." Colby said as he crashed down on the couch next to Max who gave me his infamous grin.

"I can tell you're nervous," Max said grinning, "Don't worry about it, I'd be more scared of the girlfriends than Mario."

"Thanks Max," I said, scowling at him.

Just then, I heard a fit of maniacal laughter coming from upstairs. I spun around to see Sidney being chased by Austin with a fork in his hands and a crazy look in his eye. Sidney stopped at the bottom of the staircase and picked Austin up with one hand and swung him over his shoulder. I giggled as he saw me and set Austin down, walking over to me and placing a kiss on the tip of my nose.

"Hello," he said, pushing a lock of hair behind my ear, "You look beautiful tonight."

"Thanks," I said feeling my cheeks turn red. 

"You ready to meet Mario? I'm sure he'll love you." Sidney asked eagerly, taking my hand and directing me to the backroom where I saw two people having a low-key conversation. I gulped and squeezed Sidney's hand harder as Mario turned around to face us, bringing a nauseous feeling to my stomach.

"Relax," Sidney whispered to me, "It's impossible to hate you."

"Mario, I'd like to introduce you to somebody." Sidney said, ushering me in his direction, "This is my girlfriend, Roxanne. Roxy, this is my landlord, Mario and his wife Nathalie."

"I-It's very nice to meet you Monsieur et Madame Lemieux," I said, offering my hand and stuttering.

"Likewise," Mario said, showing a hint of a smile and shaking my hand firmly.

"It's lovely to finally meet you, Roxanne," Nathalie said warmly, pulling me into a hug, "We've heard quite a lot about you."

I turned and raised an eyebrow at Sidney, who was a fluorescent shade of red.

"Well," Mario began, "I'll let you two get back to your party. I hope to be seeing more of you, Roxanne."

"Thank you, sir." I said, spinning around on my heel and rushing with Sidney to plop down on the couch next to Jordan.

"See!" Sidney exclaimed, "You did great."

"If you count acting like a blabbering and stuttering idiot a great thing, then sure." I replied, burying my face into Jordan's shoulder, much to his content.

"Hey, hey, hey." Sidney said, raising my chin off of Jordan's shoulder, "You were great. Believe me. He'll come around, he's just protective of who hangs out with the team. Once he gets to know you more, I'm sure you'll get along fine. Plus, Nathalie seemed to really like you."

I forced a weak smile at Sidney's supposedly encouraging words as I dragged myself off of the couch to go and grab something to drink. I walked into the kitchen and pulled a cup off of the counter and went to get some water, before bumping into a friendly-looking brunette.

"Oh, shit! I'm sorry!" I said as I pulled myself out of her way.

"Oh, that's alright," she said smiling and extending her hand, "I'm Vero." 

"Roxanne." I said, taking her hand in mine and smiling slightly.

"You're the one who ran into Marc at the airport, right?" Vero said, "I've heard  a lot about you from the boys. I think you'll fit in really nicely with everyone here. Sure, some of the other girlfriends will take sometime warming up to you, but you seem quite nice so it shouldn't take too long."

"Aw, thank you! I feel kind of out of place here. I'm still new to this city." I said, "How do you know these guys?"

"Oh, that's my boyfriend," Vero said, pointing in Marc-Andre's direction, causing him to look up and wink at her as she blew a kiss towards him, "We've been together since freshman year."

"Wow," I said, gazing at them. They seemed so in love and right together. Even from 30 feet away.

"Excuse me, I have to get back to my date, but if you'd like, they're playing a game tomorrow, and you could come watch with us. We all stick together, us girlfriends. You'll get to know everyone else, because it seems like none of the other ladies showed up tonight." Vero offered.

"That sounds great! I can't wait," I said excitedly.

"Here's my cell number, call me before the game and I'll tell you where to get your ticket." Vero said, handing me a slip of paper. 

"Thanks so much!" I said, slipping the number into my purse before finding my way over to my lovely boyfriend and pressing my lips down on his hearing a couple cheers and a 'Go Sid'

"Mm, you smell nice," he said, with his face in my hair, "Let's get out of here."

"You just read my mind, Crosby." I said, pecking him on the cheek and grabbing his hand before leading him out of the doors and to my car.

 

Score My Heart // Chapter Fourteen

I  hopped out of bed the next morning in an unusual chipper mood. I lazily tossed the covers back on my bed, tied my hair back into a high ponytail, and skipped around the dorm room in my Spiderman underwear to the song Dancing with Myself. I hummed the words to myself as I danced my way to the kitchen to get "breakfast", which consisted of a Pop Tart and a glass of orange juice. Yesterday, I had spent most of the day bumming out with Sidney in the dorm, listening to country music while we finished packing my things and crashing on the couch watching Friends reruns. After spending more time with him, I found that I had more in common with Sidney than I thought. We both loved horror movies and Warheads, country and Friends, neither of us were heavy drinkers or smokers, we both had the same favorite team growing up; The Canadiens, and, funnily enough, were both pro at Guitar Hero. 

I had just pulled a sweater over my head as I heard my phone whiz off. 

"Hello?" I answered,  plopping myself down on my bed.

"Good morning." I heard Sidney greet me from the other side of the line.

"Hey!" I said sitting up, "What's up?"

"I just realized something," Sidney laughed, "You're probably in so much suspense to know what my last question is. Well, I've decided I no longer really need to ask that question, I'm going to save it for a bit longer."

"Okay," I said, with an eyebrow raised, "Mind telling what you were going to ask me?"

"Well ..." Sidney started in a blunt tone, "I was going to ask you to be my girlfriend."

"And, that's changed now?" I asked as tears started to form in my eyes.

"No, I just don't feel as if I have to ask anymore." Sidney stated in a smug manner, making my tears disappear and replacing them with a laugh, "But. If it helps ... Roxy, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes." I said laughing, I was going to make some smartass comment, but I didn't feel like it at the moment. I just wanted to agree.

"So, I've got something I need to admit to you first." Sidney said, taking a deep breath, "I've never had an actual girlfriend before. Not one. So, please, bear with me, I'm new to this."

"And I've got a confession for you too, Crosby," I said, grinning, "I was married once."

I heard silence on the other end of the line and I had to smother my laughter.

"Really?" I heard Sidney begin slowly, "You were married before?"

"Yep. In kindergarden, his name was Ethan and we had virtually nothing in common, so I pulled the plug." I laughed as I heard Sidney breathe out a sigh of relief and mutter something before chuckling a bit.

"You really scared me."

"Owh, I'm sorry," I said, teasing him.

"Practice is about to start, I got to go." I heard Sidney say in a tad disappointed way, "I'll see you later then, girlfriend." I giggled a little bit at his new name for me.

"You're not honestly going to start calling me that are you?" I asked, eyebrows raised.

"Hm, maybe, I like the way it sounds. Then again, maybe not."

"Well, I'll let you go, boyfriend." I said laughing.

"Okay, but tonight, we're going out to dinner with all the boys, Mario too. Gotta introduce you." 

I gulped at the sound of Mario's name.

"Okay, bye."

"Bye," I heard Sidney whisper then hang up.

Oh. My. God. Mario fucking Lemieux. I'm going, to die.

Score My Heart // Chapter Thirteen

"I just can't live there anymore," I said to Tess over the phone as I walked around my dorm room looking for anything I could easily pack away with one hand.

"I just don't understand why." Tess said, sighing. 

"I can't even sleep in my room anymore, it's bad enough I have to live knowing Callie is plotting against me, but now you expect me to sleep while Tyler and Callie are ..." I shudder, "You know. And right next to me!" I make a gagging sound as I pack away a pair of PJs.

"You're right, that's disgusting. No wonder you're moving out." Tess laughed, "You found a place yet?"

"Yeah, Sidney and I just found a perfect one. Two stories, hardwood, tons of bedrooms." I said.

"Sounds perfect. Can't wait to come down and see it!" Tess said as I heard a knock on my door.

"I got to go, I'll call you later." I said as I hung up the phone and opened the door to give Sidney a quick kiss on the cheek.

"I'm here to help you pack." Sidney stated, pointing to the boxes he had stacked up outside the door.

"Thanks," I smiled and helped him set the boxes on my desk.

"I'm actually kinda glad you're getting your own place." Sidney said, wrapping his arms around me and smiling into my neck, "We can do alot more of this." He whispered as he kissed all up and down my neck, sending shivers down my spine.

"You know..." I turned my self around to face him, putting my arms around his neck, "There's nothing stopping us from doing that right now." I raised my eyebrows suggestively and grabbed his hand, leading him towards the bedroom.

I woke up the next morning my arms still wrapped around Sidney, and his wrapped around mine. I rolled out of my bed and stumbled around the dorm room, finding no trace of Callie. I crawled back under the covers next to Sidney and let my head rest on his chest. He breathed in deeply and rubbed his eyes and smiled at me.

"Good morning, sunshine." He said, kissing the top of my head.

"Good morning," I mumbled, "I'm going to go make us some food."

Sidney laughed and shook his head, "And how are you going to do that? You have no stove!"

"Who said I needed a stove to make one of my gourmet breakfasts?" I teased and tossed the covers off the bed, revealing a shirtless Sidney only in boxers.

"It's too early!" Sidney whined, "Come back to bed!" He said as he patted the pillow next to him.

"It's 11:30!" I laughed, heading for the "kitchen" which was actually just a cupboard where we kept chips and such. I reached into the cupboard, grabbing a container of Easy Mac, and walked over to the microwave, reading the instructions. Remove Cover. Add milk. Microwave for three minutes. 

Sounds easy enough, I thought as I rummaged around the room looking for milk. No such luck. I added a cup of water and set the microwave, smiling, pleased with myself as I walked back to the bedroom. Sure enough as I walked through the doors, Sidney was still lying there, a pillow pulled over his head. 

"Are you always like this in the mornings?" I asked, laughing and hitting him over the head with a pillow.

"No, actually." Sidney sat up, "Just today, your bed is really comfy." 

I heard a beep go off from the kitchen, and skipped over to get the Kraft Dinner. Walking into the room, my nose crinkled up. Great, I thought, I burnt it. I pulled the container out of the microwave and dared my self to look at the pasta. Sure enough, it was a brown, orange mess. I shuddered and placed it on the counter as Sidney emerged from the bedroom, and walked, slowly over to the counter. He obviously still wasn't fully awake so without blinking, he grabbed a fork and shoved a mouthful of burn KD in his mouth. I stifled a laugh as I saw his reaction, he spat it out, as tears started to form in the corners of his eyes from choking on the burnt pasta. 

"Are you trying to POISON me?!" he yelped, laughing as he wiped his mouth.

"I was gonna warn you," I managed to sputter between laughs, "But you're very persistent when you're tired.

Sidney grinned and picked me up by the legs, swinging me over his shoulder and carrying me back to the bedroom. 

"Yeah," he laughed, "I'm pretty persistent."
