I collected Lorna and on the way to the Mellon I told her about last night with Tyler and she was so happy that things were working out with him.
“I am so excited about meeting all the pens tonight.” She announces.
“Please just be careful Lorna, you are a beautiful girl and I don’t want any of these guys taking advantage of you.” I tell her, concern evident in my voice.
We continue to chatter all the way there and I was so grateful that I don’t have to hunt for a parking space.
As we sat down to watch the game I heard a group of girls giggling and laughing trying to make me feel intimidated but I couldn’t care what they have to say, I live my life the way I want to, not the way other people want me too.
The game was tense with the Penguins winning in overtime, although it is only a friendly game it would not do much for the guys confidence to lose right now.
Lorna and I stayed in our seats for about half an hour before heading down to the locker room and the security guard told us just to go in.
‘My god I am so nervous.’
I opened the door and focussed by attention on finding TK as I looked around the room and found him standing smiling at me from the far corner. I walked over to where he was buttoning up his shirt making sure only to make eye contact with him.
“Hey Tyler, that was a good game, very close edge of the seat stuff but good all the same.”
I reach up and give him a kiss. I am a noticeably good few inches smaller than him as I am wearing flat soled boots.
“Thanks hunny.”
He put his hands on my shoulders and turned me around.
“Everyone, this is Gill my girlfriend. I wont introduce everyone to you Gill, I am sure you know who everyone is already – oh and this is Lorna, Gills friend.”
I shyly smile at everyone and take a moment to look around the room as they all mutter hellos and nice to meet you. Some of them are still changing while some are all suited and ready to leave for Jordan’s house.
‘These guys make up one hot team, if only to be a fly on the wall during shower time. I bet I am the envy of so many girls right now.’
Lorna was standing staring at Sidney Crosby unsure of what to do or who to speak too.
I nudged TK and whispered “Can you introduce Lorna to Sidney Crosby, she is looking at him like she is trying to under dress him right there and then, I think by the look of things she has a little crush on him.”
“Sid, Gill and I need to go to my house to get my bag for tomorrow before we go to Stalzies as I am staying at hers tonight so would you be able to give Lorna a lift?” TK says to Sidney as he picks up his bag and takes my hand.
“Yeah of course, I need to stop in at my house before hand but if you don’t mind coming with me Lorna?” He asks while looking her up and down, his eyes finally settling on hers.
‘I don’t think I have ever seen Lorna look so shy, she usually has so much confidence and nothing phases her.’
“Yeah that is fine thanks.” Lorna answers her voice barely above a whisper. She turns to me and smiles as TK and I walk towards the door, her face has turned almost as red as her jumper.
“See you soon guys.” TK speaks to everyone as he leaves the locker room still holding my hand.
“Do we really need to go by your house?” I ask as we leave the arena and head to my car.
“No, but I wanted to be alone with you before we headed to Stalzies and I thought Lorna would like to get to know our Sid the Kid a bit better.”
We went and parked the car at the local park and got out to go for a walk, TK took my hand as soon we got out of the car. We walked silently for a while before TK stopped and looked at me, holding both my hands in his own.
“Gill, I know we have only known each other for a couple of days but you have made me feel happier than I have ever done before. I feel comfortable and safe with you and I know that we have a great future ahead of us.
“I just wanted to let you know that I am planning on sticking around, that you are not going to be able to get rid of me very easily.”
He pulled me into him and held me close so I rested my head against his chest listening to his heart beating fast and strong, taking in his scent allowing myself to enjoy the moment.
I stayed there for a few moments before pulling away and looking at him.
“I am glad you are not going anywhere because I want you in my life. I like how I feel when I am with you, I feel secure and I know that I don’t need to be scared anymore.
“Did you get asked at your interviews about the pictures of us leaving the club?”
We continue talking while heading back to the car, again Tyler was holding my hand tightly as if in fear that if he lets go I might run away.
“Oh yeah I meant to talk to you about that, I wanted to talk to you before the game to see what you wanted me to say but because sleepy head over here was not up in time so it slipped my mind until the interviewer asked me about it so I was kind of put on the spot.”
“OK so what did you say?”
“Please don’t get angry with me.” He pleads, gripping my hand tighter.
“I won’t get angry, I promise.” I reply as I climb back into my car and start the engine. My car is a manual as I could not get used to driving an automatic when I moved here.
“Normally I would talk to my agent and ask what his recommendation is but as I said it slipped my mind so I decided to go for it and I confirmed that we left the club together, you dropped me home and left. We then went out for a date and we are indeed a couple now, is that ok?”
“Yeah, that is cool. I will speak to my PR department on Monday and ask them to release a statement saying the same thing.”
“You are amazing Gill, I am so glad I found you.”

Chapter 6
When I awoke Tyler was still asleep, he was lying on his back and my head was resting on his shoulder with his arms around my waist.
I lay and watched him for a while before I quietly got up and got ready for my morning run.
I put my MP3 player on and then left the house for my usual 5 mile run and when I returned to the house I went straight to the bedroom to find TK still fast asleep. I decided to let him sleep as I did not know what his morning routine was on game day and I went for a very quick shower before going for a swim, I swam my usual 100 lengths of my full length swimming pool.
Finishing up I wrapped a towel around me and went back to my bedroom knowing that I couldn’t let TK sleep any longer or he would be late for training and I didn’t want things going wrong for us before they even started.
I sat gently on the edge of the bed stroking the side of his face with my thumb. He had turned from being on his back to lie on his side curled into a little ball.
I leaned down and kissed his cheek, a small smile spread across his face and he sleepily opened his eyes.
“Good morning gorgeous, would you like some breakfast before training?” I ask as I got up to go for another shower.
“Hmmm, thank you. Can I just have some fruit?” His sleepy face looks amazing, his voice husky evidently still full of sleep.
“Ok gorgeous, I am going for a shower and then will get something organised for you. Make yourself at home and do whatever you would normally do.”
I lean down and give him another kiss before turning to go for my shower.
‘I certainly could get used to having him here.’
I showered quickly and got dressed into a pair of fitted jeans and a deep purple fitted t-shirt with a v-neck showing just the right amount of cleavage, I popped my slippers on and went back into the bedroom while I combed my hair to find Tyler sound asleep again.
I sat down on the edge of the bed again this time being less gentle, I kissed Tylers forehead. He was again lying on his back with the covers lying just above his waist. His body was amazing.
He stirs but still does not waken so I run my fingers over his abs and round his sides and start tickling him ever so gently.
“Wh-What’s happening?...” He asks as he sits up getting a fright and wondering where he is, a look of confusion on his face.
“Its ok gorgeous it is just me but you need to get up or you will be late for training.”
He stretches and sits up to lean against the headboard and rubs his sleepy eyes.
“Sorry, I am usually so good at getting up in the morning but I am so comfortable here, I had the best nights sleep, better than I have had in a long time and I am so content being with you.
“It won’t matter if I am slightly late as optional training is first although I have never missed it but I can handle being a bit late.”
He leans in and gives me a very passionate kiss, his tongue massaging mine, his lips soft and somehow his breath still tasting of toothpaste. He runs his hands through my still wet hair and speaks into my mouth, “you smell amazing.”
“Thank you” I answer as I pull away from him, I have just been for a shower and that is where I think you should go. Come down to the kitchen when you are ready and I will have a fruit salad waiting for you.”
About 20 minutes later TK enters the kitchen wearing his jeans and a black pens t-shirt, his hair still wet and he looks amazing.
“Morning Gill, we are playing our first pre season game tonight against Tampa Bay Lightening as I am sure you are aware. Are you coming?” He asks as he sits down at the kitchen table with his fruit after giving me a small kiss.
“Of course I am I never miss any home games, I will have to go out and buy my ‘Kennedy’ pens shirt this morning.” I answer with a smile.
“Ha thanks, there are not many of them going about, next time we are at my house I will give you one of my game worn jerseys, if you are lucky I might even give you a Stanley Cup one.
“Will you come down to the locker room when we have finished? We will have the usual post game interviews but I am usually finished and showered within about half an hour. I think we are then going out to Jordon Staals house and I would love for you to come with me.”
“If you would like me to come to the locker room and then to your team mates house then I will come with you, it is not a problem. It will be great to meet all the guys.
“I go to all the home games with Lorna so can I bring her down to the locker room too?”
“Cool, thanks hunny. Yeah of course, she can come to Stalzies too if she wants.” He smiles finishing the last of his fruit.
“We best get going. I will arrange a parking permit for you for the players car park and will drop it off on the way home before my nap. I will leave the car at home and get one of the guys to pick me up and maybe I can stay here again tonight as we leave for Tampa tomorrow mid-morning?”
“Of course, come on then gorgeous lets go.”
TK dropped me off at the office and I went into town briefly to get my new pens shirts, I got both the black and white one with ‘Kennedy’ and ‘48’ on them. I sometimes try to time my business trips in with away games and I will be more inclined to do so now that I am with Tyler. I was going to get the Winter Classic top too but I think I will wait until they release it as their 3rd choice jersey.
I got a few more pairs of jeans and some tops and eventually headed home for some lunch.
I phoned Lorna and told her about the plans for tonight.
“So wait a minute, let me get this right. We are going to the locker room and then to Jordon Staals house.
“I take it your date went well?” She asked sounding like an excited little girl.
“Yeah, the date went well thanks, in fact it was amazing. I will tell you all about it tonight but TK and I are a couple now and I am very happy and yes we are going to the locker room and to Jordan Staals house.”
I spent the next few hours doing some work that I had taken home, well when I say I was doing work I was reading a new novel that had been sent to me. I love reading and I could never even think about putting a number to the amount of books I have read.
TK dropped off my car park pass and also a pass that would allow me to get to the locker room. He gave me a quick kiss then headed home for his nap.
‘I wish I could nap with him.’
I went to the master bathroom and straightened my hair and put on my new ‘Kennedy’ top, I didn’t change my jeans but I did put a thicker jumper on underneath my hockey top so that I did not need to wear a jacket. I have never really been one for caring about my appearance but thought I better make a slight effort for Tyler’s sake so I wore my knee high brown boots over my jeans.
I lay and watched him for a while before I quietly got up and got ready for my morning run.
I put my MP3 player on and then left the house for my usual 5 mile run and when I returned to the house I went straight to the bedroom to find TK still fast asleep.

Chapter 5
“Would you like to go to one of my favourite restaurants? It is a small Italian, one of Pittsburghs little secrets.”
“That sounds great, I love Italian food.”
We headed to the restaurant which was hidden away, it was small and looked like it actually belonged in Italia - it was perfect. The staff was actually Italian and the atmosphere was amazing.
Tyler was greeted by name and we were escorted to a table in the back which was lit only by candles and a bottle of rosé wine was placed on the table in a silver wine chiller. There were no other tables near us and it was very romantic.
The conversation started up immediately and we were getting along very well. There was no nervousness or expectations between us, it was very relaxed. The food soon arrived and it tasted amazing, when we were eating was the only time we were quiet.
For dessert I had ordered hot chocolate fudge cake and TK ordered vanilla cheese cake with fresh cream.
We were both quietly eating our desserts when TK mischievously asked:
“Gill, can I have a taste of your dessert?”
I stuck my fork into the soft sponge making sure to get a big amount of pudding and lots of chocolate sauce. I lifted the fork to his mouth and as he took it the look of hunger appeared in his eyes and I am not talking about hunger for the food.
‘Wow, he has no idea how much he is turning me on right now, Gill calm down, just look and act normal.’
Once he took the sponge from my fork I dug it into his cheesecake and ate it while smiling a cheeky smile at him.
“Hey Missy that’s cheating and by the way that chocolate cake is amazing.”
He paid the bill not allowing me to give him any money and we left the restaurant. We had left my car at the office and TK had promised he would pick me up in the morning and take me to get it before he went to training.
“Would you like to come in for a drink?” I asked TK as we approached my house.
“Erm, yeah that would be nice thanks.” He answered nervously, again his fingers fiddling with the closest thing possible. ‘Looks like I found his nervous habit.’
He parked his car in my driveway and we went into my house. I lead him into the living room and he stood with his mouth open at the door way as I took my jacket and shoes off.
“Why are you looking at my room like that TK?” I asked rather confused.
“Gill wow just look at it. It is gorgeous I would love a room like this.”
The room is large with marble floors, a large cosy rug in the middle, cream leather sofas, a large fireplace and beautiful furniture.
“Thanks sit down and make yourself comfortable, what would you like to drink?”
“Just whatever you’re having thanks.”
He took his shoes off and made himself comfortable on one of the larger sofas, once again he sat with one of his legs underneath him.
I went to the kitchen and boiled the kettle, put some hot chocolate and a little milk in the cups and then filled them with boiling water and carried them back to the living room where I sat beside TK and handed him his drink.
“Can you play the piano?” TK asked looking at me with those gorgeous eyes.
I have a grand piano set up in the room which is always kept in pristine condition and tuned to perfection.
“Yes, I can play, I can also play acoustic guitar and I like to sing a little too but not normally when people can hear me.”
“Would you sing and play your piano for me?” He asks with a large cheeky grin on his face.
“Normally I would say no because as I said normally I only sing for myself, I use it to relax but since you have given me such an enjoyable night I will sing for you. I have not sung in front of anyone since I left Scotland so you may need to bear with me. What would you like me to sing?”
“You can choose.”
TK looks on with anticipation as I opened the lid that covers the keys and warm my fingers up by playing cords.
I decide on playing a reasonably new song, the accompanying music would normally be done with the guitar but I think it sounds just as good, if not better with the piano.
“The song is called ‘Home’ by Daughtry.”
‘I hope I don’t mess this up… I really want to make a good impression on him.’
The lyrics are as follows:
I'm staring out into the night
Trying to hide the pain
I'm going to the place where love
And feeling good don't ever cost a thing
And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain
Well I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
Well I'm going home
The miles are getting longer, it seems
The closer I get to you
I've not always been the best man or friend for you
But your love, remains true
And I don't know why
You always seem to give me another try
So I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
And then some you don't want
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all, yeah
Oh, well I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
I said these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
I'm going home
I finish off the song and close the piano lid. I remain seated where I am with my eyes closed feeling such a wash of emotion come over me.
‘I don’t know what is happening to me, why do I like TK so much. I am independent and don’t need a man in my life but for some reason I want TK to continue to be around me, I am just not sure if I should continue to pursue things or not. I can’t handle having my heart broken, it has happened to me before and I never want to feel that pain again.’
I opened my eyes when I felt TK come up behind me and put his hands on my shoulders.
“Are you ok Gill? I wouldn’t have asked you to sing if I thought it would upset you. You have a beautiful voice and you made the song sound perfect, you sang with so much emotion.”
TK sat down beside me on the stool and put his arm around me, I rested my head on his shoulder.
“I am not upset, sorry. Thank you for the compliment, I am glad you liked it.”
TK sits round on the stool, putting a leg on either side of it and placing his hands on my face.
“From the minute I saw you in the bar last night I knew I had an attraction to you. I like you and want to get to know you better. I don’t normally let myself like girls but with you it is different. We both have busy schedules and have our own lives but I really think that we can make this work, that we can be together and make each other happy…
“Gill will you please be my girlfriend?” He asks sounding very hopeful, the light in his eye sparkling.
I stared into his eyes and I could see him searching for some sort of reaction in my eyes.
“Yes, Tyler I would love to be your girlfriend.”
We both sighed with relief hugging one and other both happy that we had taken the chance with each other the previous night in the bar.
I gave TK a tour of the house and we sat curled up on the sofa for a while talking as the rest of the Daughtry album played quietly in the background.
“I guess I better get going home since I have a game tomorrow and I need to come and pick you up to get your car before hand.”
“Well… I was thinking that you could stay here, I know this may sound very cheesy but I would like to fall asleep in your arms and wake up with you still there but if you don’t want too I will understand.” I ask looking deep into his eyes, hopeful that I had not just made a fool of myself.
“I would like that, let me go and get my bag out of the car and we can go and get ready for bed.” He replies sounding very excited.
He went and got his things and then we headed up to my room.
I looked out a pair of Pyjamas, I chose short fitted light pink hot pants and a light pink vest, something that would look revealing and show off that I was reasonably fit without looking desperate. I don’t want to give the wrong impression but I want to look good. I am not one of these skinny girls, I am curvy but still in good shape. I went into the bathroom to change and when I came back into the room once again TKs jaw hit the floor.
“Wow, you look amazing!” He says as he comes over to me putting his hands on my waist and kisses me passionately, his tongue hot against my own as it fights for possession.
‘I really don’t want him to stop but I have just met him and he has a game tomorrow, I have to behave.’
“TK, remember that you have a game tomorrow?” I say to him as his kisses travel down my neck and his hands wonder down my thighs leaving a trail of tingles.
“Hmmm…” Is all I hear as he continues to kiss me, his breath warm, his hands gripping hard but gentle enough so not to hurt.
His kisses travel back up to my mouth before he pulls away and looks at me.
“I know but I don’t want to stop even though I know I have too, I am so attracted to you.”
He kisses me again before turning away and taking off his clothes.
As I curl up in bed and he stand in front of me only wearing a pair of black fitted boxer shorts.
‘WOW, look at that body, he is hot!!!’
By the way the pre-mentioned tattoo is a tiger.
“Looking good Mr Kennedy” I tell him as my eyes take their time looking at him from head to toe causing his face to turn a darker shade of pink.
“What are you waiting for? Are you not coming to bed?” I ask looking mischievously at him.
He pulls the covers back and curls up beside me our bodies fitting perfectly together like jigsaw pieces.
Soon we fall fast asleep still holding each other close, both of us completely content and comfortable in each others company.
“That sounds great, I love Italian food.”
We headed to the restaurant which was hidden away, it was small and looked like it actually belonged in Italia - it was perfect. The staff was actually Italian and the atmosphere was amazing.
Tyler was greeted by name and we were escorted to a table in the back which was lit only by candles and a bottle of rosé wine was placed on the table in a silver wine chiller. There were no other tables near us and it was very romantic.

Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
Well I'm going home
The miles are getting longer, it seems
The closer I get to you
I've not always been the best man or friend for you
But your love, remains true
And I don't know why
You always seem to give me another try
So I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all
And then some you don't want
Be careful what you wish for
'Cause you just might get it all
You just might get it all, yeah
Oh, well I'm going home
Back to the place where I belong
And where your love has always been enough for me
I'm not running from
No, I think you got me all wrong
I don't regret this life I chose for me
But these places and these faces are getting old
I said these places and these faces are getting old
So I'm going home
I'm going home
I finish off the song and close the piano lid. I remain seated where I am with my eyes closed feeling such a wash of emotion come over me.
‘I don’t know what is happening to me, why do I like TK so much. I am independent and don’t need a man in my life but for some reason I want TK to continue to be around me, I am just not sure if I should continue to pursue things or not. I can’t handle having my heart broken, it has happened to me before and I never want to feel that pain again.’
I opened my eyes when I felt TK come up behind me and put his hands on my shoulders.
“Are you ok Gill? I wouldn’t have asked you to sing if I thought it would upset you. You have a beautiful voice and you made the song sound perfect, you sang with so much emotion.”
TK sat down beside me on the stool and put his arm around me, I rested my head on his shoulder.
“I am not upset, sorry. Thank you for the compliment, I am glad you liked it.”
TK sits round on the stool, putting a leg on either side of it and placing his hands on my face.
“From the minute I saw you in the bar last night I knew I had an attraction to you. I like you and want to get to know you better. I don’t normally let myself like girls but with you it is different. We both have busy schedules and have our own lives but I really think that we can make this work, that we can be together and make each other happy…
“Gill will you please be my girlfriend?” He asks sounding very hopeful, the light in his eye sparkling.
I stared into his eyes and I could see him searching for some sort of reaction in my eyes.
“Yes, Tyler I would love to be your girlfriend.”
We both sighed with relief hugging one and other both happy that we had taken the chance with each other the previous night in the bar.
I gave TK a tour of the house and we sat curled up on the sofa for a while talking as the rest of the Daughtry album played quietly in the background.
“I guess I better get going home since I have a game tomorrow and I need to come and pick you up to get your car before hand.”
“Well… I was thinking that you could stay here, I know this may sound very cheesy but I would like to fall asleep in your arms and wake up with you still there but if you don’t want too I will understand.” I ask looking deep into his eyes, hopeful that I had not just made a fool of myself.
“I would like that, let me go and get my bag out of the car and we can go and get ready for bed.” He replies sounding very excited.
He went and got his things and then we headed up to my room.
I looked out a pair of Pyjamas, I chose short fitted light pink hot pants and a light pink vest, something that would look revealing and show off that I was reasonably fit without looking desperate. I don’t want to give the wrong impression but I want to look good. I am not one of these skinny girls, I am curvy but still in good shape. I went into the bathroom to change and when I came back into the room once again TKs jaw hit the floor.
“Wow, you look amazing!” He says as he comes over to me putting his hands on my waist and kisses me passionately, his tongue hot against my own as it fights for possession.
‘I really don’t want him to stop but I have just met him and he has a game tomorrow, I have to behave.’
“TK, remember that you have a game tomorrow?” I say to him as his kisses travel down my neck and his hands wonder down my thighs leaving a trail of tingles.
“Hmmm…” Is all I hear as he continues to kiss me, his breath warm, his hands gripping hard but gentle enough so not to hurt.
His kisses travel back up to my mouth before he pulls away and looks at me.
“I know but I don’t want to stop even though I know I have too, I am so attracted to you.”
He kisses me again before turning away and taking off his clothes.
As I curl up in bed and he stand in front of me only wearing a pair of black fitted boxer shorts.
‘WOW, look at that body, he is hot!!!’
By the way the pre-mentioned tattoo is a tiger.
“Looking good Mr Kennedy” I tell him as my eyes take their time looking at him from head to toe causing his face to turn a darker shade of pink.
“What are you waiting for? Are you not coming to bed?” I ask looking mischievously at him.
He pulls the covers back and curls up beside me our bodies fitting perfectly together like jigsaw pieces.
Soon we fall fast asleep still holding each other close, both of us completely content and comfortable in each others company.

Chapter 4
Soon it came to 1500, I was starting to get excited but very nervous, ‘what if he does not show…’
I spent the half an hour before he was due to arrive on the internet checking personal emails and such like.
I tend to check a lot of blogger sites scouting for talent. One regular site that I look at is called ‘Hockey for the Ladies’, the lady who writes it, Stephanie, is a big fan of hockey and posts a lot of informative articles and she also keeps up to do date with some good fan fiction stories that I can use for scouting. When I was still back in Scotland she bought a hockey top for me and posted it over because most websites would not post them internationally. I still sometimes post under my username that she knows me under but I also have another one that I can use for scouting. This site is where I first met Lorna when I tried to get her to publish her story which still by the way remains unpublished.
The title of the post that Stephanie had done today was ‘TK has a good night on the town!!’ and it read:
“Bonus points will be offered to the first reader who can tell me who the lucky lady is that was pictured leaving a local club with our one and only Tyler Kennedy. Someone has managed to catch the eye of the young man who has not previously been pictured with a girlfriend. He has previously been quoted saying that he finds it difficult to trust girls and that he will not be seen with a puck bunny. All thoughts and information welcome on who our mystery lady is.”
Beside her statement was a picture of TK and I holding hands and smiling for the camera as we left the club.
I read the comments and they varied from very good and very bad, some saying that I was just another blonde bimbo, some saying that I was very pretty and they wished they were the ones in the picture with TK.
One comment read:
“You girls better not bitch about this lady – she is Gill Robertson, the owner and sole director of the multi-million dollar profit making publishing company Robertson Publishing and rumour has it she uses this site to check out fanfics, the rumour mill also says that she has already offered contracts to some bloggers. She is beautiful, smart, extremely physically fit and I think she will be so good for TK, I think she will make him very happy.”
The post was made anonymously and it actually made me smile.
Knock Knock!!
“Come in.”
The door opened and TK walked in wearing a navy suit with a light blue shirt and a blue silk tie and in his hand was a gorgeous bunch of yellow roses.
‘WOW he looks amazing! Say something Gill, say something, stop staring, Gill say something.’
“Hey gorgeous, how are you today? How was training?” I ask as I smile at him and get up to go around the other side of my desk.
“Training was good and I am very well thank you, how are you? These are for you.” He hands me the flowers and gives me a small kiss on the lips, once again I got tingles down my spine, no other guy has managed to have this affect on me before.
“Thank you, they are lovely.” I say as I take the flowers from him. “I am very well thanks.”
“You look stunning Gill.” TK announces as that nervous look crosses his face again.
“Thank you, you scrub up well yourself.”
“I thought your receptionist was going to faint when she saw me coming through the doors, it was quite funny, she had to balance herself so as not to fall off her chair. I hope you don’t mind but I autographed a photo for her.”
I gave TK a tour of the office block introducing him to some of my staff and we ended up back at my office again.
“This place is great you have done so well for yourself. I did as you suggested and did some research on the company and you are huge! It is great – well done.”
“Thanks, I still sometimes can’t believe how things have turned out but I am very pleased.”
