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.
