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.

"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."

"Hey Sidney," I asked, leaning against his chest in the car.

"Yeah," he whispered.

"You think I could stay with you tonight, I'm very very frightened to go back to my room," I asked laughing in a hopeful tone.

"I live with Mario Lemieux, I don't think that's such a good idea." Sidney said, laughing. 

"Oh, right." I felt myself blush. 

"Buuut," Sidney said, raising an eyebrow, "Colby doesn't live with Mario Lemieux. We can stay with him."

"AW HELL NO!" I heard Colby scream from the drivers seat.

"Please?" I pleaded, "I really don't want to fall asleep with ... Tyler in my roommate's bed."

"And you think I want to fall asleep with you and Sidney in my bed?!" Colby yelped.

"I could sleep on the couch." I suggested. 

"Fine," Colby agreed, "But I get to keep a watch on Sid, I don't want him getting in too much trouble."

"Thank you!" I exclaimed. 

We pulled up into Colby's driveway of his bachelor pad and walked up into the house. I was tired and it was late, so as soon as Colby pulled a blanket out of the closet, I fell fast asleep on his couch, much to the disappointment of Sidney. Around 2 in the morning I heard someone sit down by the end of the couch. I opened my eyes just a wink to see Sidney sitting there gazing at me with a smile on his face. 

"That's kind of creeper Crosby," I said, rubbing my eyes and sitting up.

"Sorry," I heard Sidney say sheepishly as he lied down next to me, "I couldn't help it, Colby's a heavy sleeper and I knew you were just in the next room."

I smiled as he wrapped his arm around my waist as placed a kiss on my shoulder, gently massaging my back. I turned around to face him so I could kiss him, but he beat me to it.  Within a second his mouth was crashing down onto mine in a heart stopping kiss. I felt my hand immediately go to his belt as I struggled to take it off. He rolled himself under me as he quickly took off my shirt, sending it flying across the room. I had finally won the battle with Sidney's belt and had quickly stripped him of his jeans and boxers. He tugged on my sweatpants never once breaking the kiss, and when we were both done with the clothes, Sidney stood up and walked to the bathroom to get a condom. As he came back and rolled on top of me, I couldn't help but laugh as I realized something. 

"What?" Sidney asked nervously, kissing my collarbone. 

"I just realized something," I said in between heavy breaths and laughs, "Colby's going to kill us."

Sidney was sent into a fit of uncontrollable laughter as I said this. And he placed another feisty kiss on my lips as he rolled off of me.  

"We're so dead." He said as he pulled the covers over both of us and I fell asleep on his chest, breathing in perfect synchronization.

I woke up the next day to Colby freaking out in the door to the living room. Sidney's arms were still wrapped tightly around my waist, and he was laughing. And laughing hard.

"WHAT THE FUCK?! I told you NO SEX ON MY COUCH! You guys DISGUST ME! I'm not walking in there until EVERY LAST EVIDENCE OF YOUR BEING HERE HAS DISAPPEARED!" Colby screamed.

"Colby, shut up." I heard Sidney mumble as he threw a pillow at him.

I decided to take Tess's advice, and try to forget about everything, and it seemed to work. Every time I would pass Chanelle in the hallways, or in class, she'd snicker and I'd just walk on by with my head held high. I wasn't going to let her win. And after a week or so, she'd seemed to have given up. She no longer wasted her time trying to get me ticked off my making icy remarks and smirking at me. I had to remind myself to thank Tess, if I hadn't just ignored Chanelle, I'd probably be feeling a lot worse about myself right now.

Just like Callie said, she hadn't come back from the night she went out with Tyler, and it made me sick to my stomach. I knew Callie had something to do with the entire Chanelle-rapes-Sidney affair, and I didn't want my cousin to get hurt. I hadn't confronted Callie about it because I thought it'd be best if we stayed friends, since we live in the same dorm and everything. 

Walking to class, I got a text from Sidney:

Can I please ask you that question now? It's killing me.

I laughed at the desperation of the text and quickly texted back 'ok' before stuffing my phone back in my bag as I entered the classroom. I sighed as I saw that the only available seat in the room was next to Chanelle, and quickly dropped my bag to the ground and sat down next to her, without saying a word. I stuffed my phone into my desk and turned it to silent, so I could text Sidney without getting caught. I smiled as my phone lit up, signaling a message from Sidney.

I'll meet you tomorrow night, then :)

Sounds good, Crosby ;)

Thankfully, by the end of class I hadn't said anything to Chanelle, and there were high chances that she hadn't even noticed me. I walked back to my dorm, only to find Tyler's hat hanging on the door, with a note attached that said 'Enter at your own risk.' I shuddered and turned around, definitely not wanting to walk in on that, and headed for the parking lot. I hopped into my car and drove off towards the closest Starbucks where I plopped down on the couch with Vogue and a Caramel Mochiatto. I flipped through the magazine, Gross. Ew. Nasty. Who the fuck would wear that? Is this designer delusional?  What is THAT? I kept on flipping the pages staring at the hideously designed clothes until I fell on a medium lengthed purple and gold off the shoulder dress.

I stared at it gaping, until I felt someone tap on my shoulder. I spun around to see Sidney and Colby standing behind me with grins on their faces. 

"Hey guys!" I said excitedly, already forgetting about the dress. 

"Hi," Sidney said, helping me up then wrapping me into a hug, "How are you?"

"I'm ... alright actually. I got some advice from a friend, it really helped." I said, sighing. 

"I want to apologize again. You have no idea how bad I feel." Sidney said, looking at his feet. 

"Please, stop apologizing, I forgive you." I said, and wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Okay," he mumbled as he leant in to kiss me.

"GOD. GROOOSS!!" Colby yelped from next to me.

Sid and I let out a soft chuckle as he elbowed him in the gut and gently pressed his lips to mine again. 

"I'm outta here!" Colby exclaimed, obviously disgusted.

"We're going to follow you, Army. You drove me here." Sidney said, laughing and flashing me an irresistible smile. 

"Fine." Colby grumbled and took off towards the exit. 

"Let's go make his life a living hell," Sidney said, suggestively.

"That sounds perfect to me," I said laughing, as he took my hand as we chased Colby to his car.

I was furious. There were a million thoughts going through my head at the moment. I was going to kill her, I thought, It's the only sensible way to deal with this. She must die.

Sidney had stayed for a bit to comfort me, and said he'd ask me that question some other time, that now I should just relax. I had felt so serene when he was sitting next to me, and when he left all my anger towards Chanelle had come back. She had ruined my night, and just about my life if it wasn't for the fact that I was such a wuss when it came to Sidney. I had just taken out a pad of paper to plan her destruction when Callie walked into the room, looking unusually smug.

"How was your night?" She asked, flipping her hair over her shoulder.

"Excellent. I had a fucking excellent time." I snapped at her.

"Woah, easy there missy." She said, taken aback by my icy tone. "What's the problem?"

"The problem is that if I murder Chanelle while she's sleeping, I'll probably get kicked out of here, then my parents will scold me and I'll end up in jail. THAT'S the problem."

"She getting on your nerves?" Callie asked applying clear lipgloss, obviously uninterested.

"My. Last. One." I looked at her, "You going somewhere?"

"Out. With Tyler." She said, picking up her purse.

I shot her a disgusted look. 

"Gross. Why?" 

"Because. I like him, he's funny."

"Gee, there's a moral."

"Oh, whatever, I'm leaving. I'll probably not be back tonight."

I made a gagging sound as she exited her room and grabbed my phone and texted Tyler.

Callie? R u fucking serious?!?

No response. 

Oh, he's dead to me. I thought. 

Ugh, he wouldn't do anything with her. He's too smart for that. Shit. No he's not.

I groaned as I read the text he had sent me. 

Oh yes, I am quite serious! She's HOTTTT! :P

I glared at my phone as if to say 'how could you possibly shown this on my screen you technological bitch.'

Go die.

RoxanneTremblay: Help. Me.

TessCallaway: Uh, hello to you to!

TessCallaway: How are youuu? Haven't heard ANYTHING from you.

RoxanneTremblay: Yeah. Been a bit occupied.

TessCallaway: How may I assist you today?

RoxanneTremblay: How do you destroy a conceited blonde bitch.

TessCallaway: Making lots of friends are we?

RoxanneTremblay: TESS!!

TessCallaway: Sorry, sorry. But if I were you, I wouldn't do anything about it. That just gives her the attention she obviously wants. 

RoxanneTremblay: I honestly don't think I'm capable of doing that.

TessCallaway: Just, give it a try. If she continues to harass you, I'm coming down there ;)

RoxanneTremblay: If I try, will you give me a cookie?

TessCallaway: Of course, Roxy ;)

RoxanneTremblay: Fine. 

So, that was no help. I thought, But I'll give it a try, that's if I don't rip her hair out the next time I see her. Woah, Rox, what's with the masochist thoughts? That's not you.

When I heard my phone whirl off, I could've thrown it at the wall. But I decided to at least check who it was before I went off throwing a $200 phone at my mirror. 

Sidney. 

Oh god.

I still feel horrible about today :(

I DISGUST MYSELF.

So sorry ...

I felt a smile crack at the side of my lips as I read the message. God, I thought, he's adorable.

Aw, it's okay. 

If I was here I would've thrown myself at you too ;)

Good.

Because you're the one I really want.
