Work went quickly as I have so much to do now that the takeover is official, dealing with new clients, re-issuing contracts, making sure that everyone is happy and arranging business trips to the new locations to meet my new staff and assure them that nothing will change.
I left work around 1630 taking Lorna with me. We stopped off at the nearest supermarket to my house to buy plenty of drink etc. for the guys tonight.
Lorna and I quickly ate our dinner before heading to the Mellon for the game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The game went well with the Pens once again winning.
As Lorna went off to meet Sidney I made my way home to make sure that everything was ok for everyone arriving. I sat down at the piano as I waited for everyone and once again started singing Daughtry, this time I sang a song called ‘Its Not Over’. The lyrics are as follows:
I was blown away
What could I say?
It all seemed to make sense
You've taken away everything
And I can't deal with that
I try to see the good in life
But good things in life are hard to find
We'll blow it away, blow it away
Can we make this something good?
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around
Let's start over
I'll try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me
But you're the only one
It's not over
Taken all I could take
And I cannot wait
We're wasting too much time
Being strong, holding on
Can't let it bring us down
My life with you means everything
So I won't give up that easily
I'll blow it away, blow it away
Can we make this something good?
'Cause it's all misunderstood
Well, I'll try to do it right this time around
Let's start over
I'll try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me
But you're the only one
It's not over
We can't let this get away
Let it out, let it out
Don't get caught up in yourself
Let it out
Let's start over
I'll try to do it right this time around
It's not over
'Cause a part of me is dead and in the ground
This love is killing me
But you're the only one
It's not over
Let's start over
It's not over, yeah...
This love is killing me
But you're the only one
It's not over
I must have got carried away because when I looked up TK, Jordan, Marc-Andre and Vero were standing just inside the living room.
“Sorry guys I didn’t expect you to be here so quickly.” I get up walking towards Tyler and wrapping my arms around his waist giving him a quick kiss.
“That was amazing Gill, you are a great singer.” Vero smiles giving me a hug.
“Thanks.” My face glowing bright red from embarrassment of being caught.
“If you want to follow me to the kitchen you can get a drink, do you want me to order some food?”
The rest of the team quickly arrived with their girlfriends / wives and made themselves at home.
We ordered pizzas and the guys ate like they had been starved for a week.
“Jordon” I shouted across the room after all the pizza had been cleared away, he turned his face to look at me, his hair the perfect shade of blonde, his eyes bright blue in colour and that square jaw, well I don’t even know how to describe that. I can see why so many girls fancy him ‘he certainly is one hot guy’.
“Gill” He shouts back.
“Catch” I say again as I throw him the basement keys.
“What are these for?” He asks looking a bit confused.
“Go and open the door to the basement, I need you to have a look at something for me, I will come down in a minute. It is that door over there.”
He walks over to the door, unlocking it and running down the stairs after he switches the light on.
“What are you up to Gill?” TK asks as he stands beside me with his bottle of beer in his hand.
“You will see in a minute.”
“Guys, come down here, it is heaven.” Jordon shouts up to everyone sounding like a child in a sweet shop.
TK looks at me having no idea what is going on but follows all the guys down to the basement.
I motion for the girls to come and see what all the commotion is about.
I let the girls go down first so that I am the last to go down. I sit on one of the bottom steps watching everyone having fun.
When I moved in and my company started making a healthy profit I decided to turn my basement into a bit of a fun area, somewhere that I could escape from my life and be a kid again. There is a large flat screen TV on one of the walls with surround sound speakers placed all around the room, all the top of the range games consoles with a good selection of games. A full size pool table, a football (soccer) table, dart board, etc.
Jordan found his way back over to me, “Wow Gill, this place is a dream, I could and probably will spend hours and hours down here. Your house is amazing. Thank you for taking us all in and making us feel so welcome.”
“Anytime Jordan” I stand up on the step so that I am at the same height as him, he is a very tall guy and heavily built and I can imagine that it is all muscle and not an ounce of fat, he pulls me into a giant hug lifting me off my feet and carrying me over to where TK was sitting playing one of the games consoles. He lifts me like I am as light as a feather.
“This place is great Gill I can’t believe I never knew about it.” TK says as he pulls me down to sit on his knee.
The rest of the night passed quickly and everybody seemed to have a good night which I was glad about.
“Gill, can we come here again?” Jordan asks as he gives me a hug.
“Of course you can, you are welcome here anytime, even if the other guys are not here.”
‘I have a feeling that Jordan and I are going to be good friends.’
Everyone said their goodbyes and soon TK and I were on our own again.
“Thank you for tonight hunny, it has been great.” TK says as he stands hugging me in the hallway.
“Anytime TK, your team mates all seem lovely and the girls have all made me feel welcome.
“It has been a busy couple of days so I am going to go to bed, are you joining me?”
“Yeah, I think I will.”
We filled the dishwasher and tidied away some of the empty bottles and such like and then headed to bed.
“I am going to miss you so much Gill when we are away in Sweden.”
“I am going to miss you too I have got so used to having you around here.
“Do you think we have jumped into this relationship too quickly?” I ask as I lie close beside him.
“Things have gone quick, quicker than I could have imagined but it feels right, like we are meant to be together so to answer your question I would say yes but I wouldn’t change anything Gill, I want to be with you.” TK strokes the side of my faces as he looks at me with so much emotion in his eyes.
“We have known each other less then a week though TK, what if what we are feeling is not real, it is just infatuation and in a few weeks time we are fed up of each other. I really don’t want that to happen but you have girls throwing themselves at you. I don’t want you to feel like you can’t go out and enjoy yourself because of me. You are only 22 years old and I don’t want you to think that I am taking your youth away from you.”
“What has brought this on Gill…? Do you not trust me? I don’t want any of those puck bunnies… you know that. I like how I feel when I am with you and I don’t want give up on that. I can’t promise that I won’t get fed up with you in a few weeks but I really can’t see that happening. I am only 3 years younger then you so it is not a big deal. It is not as if I am immature for my age. It sounds to me like you are looking for excuses not to be with me.
“Please don’t give up on us before we have even gotten started… please Gill.” TK grips me closer to him as his voice pleads with me not to leave him or give up on what we have, his eyes getting redder and tears forming.
“I am sorry Tyler I didn’t mean to upset you. I do trust you and I remember how you looked at me when I first called you TK and how you backed away from me, no longer trusting me. I really like you and feel safe when I am in your arms. I guess I am just scared, I have not let myself get close to anyone in a long time. Everything with us has happened so fast and I just don’t want to get hurt. It is all so surreal, I just had all of the Pittsburgh Penguins in my house, it is almost as if I am dreaming and when I wake up I will realise the past few days have never happened.”
His tears fall from his eyes as he lets go of me and sits up holding his knees to his chest.
“Do you want me to leave?” I hear his voice which is barely above a whisper.
I sit up and pull him close to me again.
“No, I don’t ever want you to leave I guess that is what is scaring me so much. I have known you less than a week and already I am falling for you.”
He face quickly lifts up and he looks me straight in the eye as if trying to see if I meant what I said.
“Tyler it scares me senseless to say this to you and you certainly don’t have to say it back… but…
“I have fallen in love with you.”

Chapter 13
Lorna and I quickly got a bite to eat before we headed into town to meet Vero and the other girls.
“Hey girls” Vero gives us both a hug.
“I was watching the news before I came out and they cut over to the press conference. You must be so happy Gill that is big stuff. Robertson Publishing is huge. I am so pleased for you.”
“Thanks Vero. I don’t think it has sunk in yet but I am over the moon, this could lead to Robertson Publishing being the biggest publishing company in the world. I can’t believe that my company is this big in less than a year of trading.
We all shopped for a few hours and all I bought was a t-shirt for Tyler, before going our separate ways we agreed to meet up before the game tomorrow and I said that everyone could come back to my house this time.
I started to head home when I remembered that I should be going to Tylers, I am so stupid sometimes, I think that is why I was born blonde.
I rang the door bell but walked in before TK answered.
“Hey gorgeous, where are youuuuu?” I shout as I wonder through the maze of rooms.
“I am in the kitchen preparing dinner, come to the back on the house.” I hear him shout from the distance.
I follow his voice as I look about the rooms seeing photographs and trophies everywhere, I spend a few moments looking at the different things that he has done while growing up, ‘he was such a cute child’.
“Hey hunny, how are you?” He asks as he leans over the kitchen work top to give me a kiss.
“I am good thanks how are you?” I place my bags down on the kitchen table kicking my shoes off and sitting on one of the bar stools.
“I am good thanks, I am making lasagne for dinner, is that ok?”
“Yeah fine thanks.
“I have asked everyone to come round to my house tomorrow night after the game, hope that is ok?”
“That’s brilliant thanks Gill, you are a star.
“We are doing some extra training on Thursday afternoon before we catch our flight so I was wondering if you would like to take the morning off work and spend some time with me before I go away.”
“I have actually taken the day off anyway I have something I need to do in the afternoon.”
We sat talking about the take over and the press conference and about his training and game day regime and such like. We ate his delicious home made lasagne and I washed up.
We spent the rest of the evening talking before heading off to bed.
The following morning Tyler woke up as I was getting out of bed.
“I don’t know what to do this morning Tyler, I usually go for a run and a swim but I don’t know the area and you don’t have a swimming pool.”
I start to move away from the bed when Tyler pulls me back down and starts kissing me passionately, his lips soft against mine, his tongue gently massaging my own. I pull away but his kisses move down my neck.
“Hey hey TK, remember the one condition you gave me…”
“Hmm, I know but I find you so irresistible.”
“Well you gave me the condition so I am going to stick to it.” I laugh as I manage to break free from his grasp and get up heading towards the bathroom to take a shower.
“Can I at least join you for a shower then?”
“As long as you behave” I answer laughing at him.
The one condition TK gave me was that we don’t have sex on game day so I am determined to abide by that.
We went for a shower together and I got dressed for work while TK made breakfast.
“Good morning again gorgeous.” I say sitting down at the dinner table with the fruit salad and yogurt that Tyler handed me.
“I forgot when I came in last night that I bought you something when I was shopping. The receipt is in the bag if you don’t like it, I just thought it was cool.”
He grabs the bag from the table and pulls the t-shirt out and smiles when he looks at it.
“Thanks Gill, that is great.”
We talked for a while longer before we both head off to work agreeing that he will just see me at my house after he finishes with the press after the game, I wouldn’t bother waiting around for him.
“Hey girls” Vero gives us both a hug.
“I was watching the news before I came out and they cut over to the press conference. You must be so happy Gill that is big stuff. Robertson Publishing is huge. I am so pleased for you.”

Chapter 12
Lorna and I carry out our morning meeting and I ask Lorna to join the girls and I for the shopping trip this afternoon and soon Mr Hammond arrives, suddenly my stomach is in knots and I am very nervous.
“Miss Robertson, I am going to cut straight to the point. I have reviewed the contract you have offered me as well as the information I have on Robertson Publishing as it stands and I would like to take you up on your offer. You will find everything signed and dated, you may start the ball rolling and release a press statement as soon as you wish.”
“Thank you Mr Hammond, I promise you won’t regret this.”
I took the paperwork and shook Mr Hammonds hand before he turned and left the office.
My phone rang almost immediately signalling that Lorna had someone on the line for me.
“Hey Lor”
“Gill, I have Ray Shero from the Penguins on the phone for you.”
“Shit, did he say what he wanted? I hope TK is ok.” I answer sounding panicked.
“He would not say Gill, sorry. Do you want to talk to him?”
“Yeah put him through.”
I heard the click on the line signalling that the call had been transferred.
“Good morning, Gill Robertson speaking, how can I help?”
“Miss Robertson, my name is Ray Shero, General Manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins. Do you have a moment to talk?” He asks politely.
“Yes, is everything ok? Has something happened to Tyler?” My voice still full of panic.
He laughs as he hears my worries over Tyler. “As far as I am aware TK is fine.
“I would like to discuss a different matter with you. A source of mine tells me that you are a qualified kung fu instructor and I wondered if you would be interested in doing some training with the team.”
“Can I ask how you found out about that?” I ask with a slight annoyed tone.
I have never mentioned to anyone since I came here about kung fu, not even Lorna.
“My source will remain unnamed, you will find out when the time is right. We will of course pay you for your services of course. The coaches and I were thinking that maybe you could spend 2 hours with them 3 times a week, the days changing depending on when the games are played and road trips etc. and obviously we will take your work into account too, I imagine you are a very busy woman.”
“Erm yeah you could say that…
“You have caught me off guard and lucky for you and I ‘m also in a very good mood today, I have just received some good news so I will agree to do this for you.”
We discussed details of what he wanted to do, what I would be paid and that I would not tell Tyler. For some reason it was to be kept a secret from everyone until we started our first lesson which has been scheduled for Thursday afternoon before the guys leave for Toronto.
I phoned the PR department and asked them to arrange a press conference for as quickly as possible so that I could tell the world about the takeover and they quickly called me back saying that the press would be here in half an hour to start at 1130.
I decided to phone Tyler before hand.
“Hey hunny is everything ok?” He answered slightly panicked.
“Yeah, I just wanted to tell you some news before you found out some where else.”
“What is wrong Gill, you are making me worry.”
“You have nothing to worry about. Remember I told you I had an important meeting yesterday morning?”
“Yep”
“Well the meeting was with the owner and director of Headline Publishing, they are the second biggest publishing company in the world.”
“Ok, sounds exciting.”
“It is more than exciting. The thing is Tyler I had managed to find out that he was going to sell his company so I have managed to convince him to sell everything to me including all of his current contracts, as of this morning Headline Publishing has been bought over by Robertson Publishing. This is such a big deal and will hopefully make my company the number one publishing company in the world!!”
“I am so happy for you Gill, you deserve this, you have put so much work into the company.”
We finished up our conversation and I headed down to the conference room, all of the staff was there waiting in anticipation as to what could possibly have happened.
“Good morning ladies and gentleman, thank you for attending at such short notice.
“Early this morning Mr Hammond of Headline Publishing sold his company. As of that meeting Robertson Publishing began proceedings for a take over and the 2 companies are now one with myself still being sole owner and director. All Headline Contracts will continue as before…”
The conference continued for about an hour as I fielded question after question from the press when eventually the question I had been waiting for was asked.
“Will this company takeover have an affect your relationship with Tyler Kennedy?” I hear a voice come from the back of the room.
“My personal life and work life are completely separate. Tyler and I both have very busy work schedules but because we have a strong relationship this does not get in the way. We have only been together a short period of time so we would appreciate if you all could allow us to have our privacy and work on our relationship together. I am aware that we are both prominent faces in the public but we would still like to have a private relationship.”
The press conference eventually finished about half an hour later. I quickly went up to my office and phoned TK again to tell him about what I had said about him and I at the press conference and I phoned the accounts department to ask them to fax over my personal bank details to Ray Shero to enable him to pay me for the Kung Fu training.
“Miss Robertson, I am going to cut straight to the point. I have reviewed the contract you have offered me as well as the information I have on Robertson Publishing as it stands and I would like to take you up on your offer. You will find everything signed and dated, you may start the ball rolling and release a press statement as soon as you wish.”

Chapter 11
I feel asleep quickly much to my surprise and when I awoke Tyler was curled beside me with his arms tightly wrapped around my waist.
I kissed his forehead and he smiled back at me.
“Morning hunny, how are you?”
“I am fine thanks gorgeous how are you? Are you still coming for a run with me?” I ask as I try to unsuccessfully pull away from his grip.
“Sure thing but I just want to hold you for a couple of minutes longer, I missed not having you in my arms last night.”
He tilts his head up slightly kissing me deeply on the lips, his tongue immediately requesting entry which I granted with pleasure. As our kisses become more passionate he rolls over so he is lying on top of me, his hands wondering up my top and massaging my sides.
I pull my leg up and he grabs a hold of it as his kisses move down my neck. I allow my hands to explore his perfectly toned body, my heart beating faster each moment and my breaths become short and anxious. I tilt my head back as he moves his hand across the bottom of my stomach sending shivers down my spine.
He eventually looks up at me and speaks softly.
“I know I have known you less than a week Gill so if you want me to stop I will. To me this feels so right, like we are meant to be together, you make me so happy.”
I lift my head up and kiss him passionately on the lips.
“I want this just as much as you do Tyler...”
I relaxed down on top of him feeling his breathing returning to normal after the most enjoyable morning excerise I have had in a long time.
“I am speechless Gill…”
We eventually got up and went for a shower. I went for a quick swim since we no longer had time to go for a run while Tyler made breakfast and then went for another quick shower and got ready for work.
Tyler and I agreed that I would go to his house after I had been out with the girls to see if he could get up any better seeing as it was game day again tomorrow.
I quickly packed a bag and asked TK to take it to his house with him, I gave him a quick kiss then left for work excited to hear what Mr Hammond had to say and over the moon about the morning I had with Tyler.
“Good morning Lorna, are you ready for our meeting?” I ask as I place a warm bagel from the local baker on every ones desk and continue to walk into my office.
I see her out of the corner of my eye quickly get up with her things and pick up the bagel. She comes into my office and closes the door behind her.
“Have you heard from Mr Hammond already, you look as high as a kite?” She asks as she bites into her breakfast.
“No, he will be here shortly. I am just happy.” I answer trying hard to stop smiling.
“I take it things are going well with TK?”
“Erm, yeah you could say that, he came back to mine when they got in from Tampa and I am staying at his tonight.”
“You did what I think you did – you sly dog!” She squeals almost as happy about it as I am.
“I sure did and it was amazing but I will be a lady and reveal no more!!”
I kissed his forehead and he smiled back at me.
“Morning hunny, how are you?”
“I am fine thanks gorgeous how are you? Are you still coming for a run with me?” I ask as I try to unsuccessfully pull away from his grip.
“Sure thing but I just want to hold you for a couple of minutes longer, I missed not having you in my arms last night.”

“Erm, yeah you could say that, he came back to mine when they got in from Tampa and I am staying at his tonight.”
“You did what I think you did – you sly dog!” She squeals almost as happy about it as I am.
“I sure did and it was amazing but I will be a lady and reveal no more!!”

Apologies to all.
First of all I would like to apologise for the lack of updates since I returned from holiday, I am still trying to recover from jet lag and therefore I am very tired all the time. I have also been very busy with my work, things are not going very well just now due to the recession and we are currently trying to fight to keep the companies head above water so it may come to the stage that I dont even have a job to go to in the near future... my fingers are firmly crossed that it wont come to that!!
The office is closed tomorrow and Monday so I am planning on spending my long weekend recovering and trying to get myself back into a normal routine!! I will also try to post a short blog telling you all about my trip to Pittsburgh and will post some game photos if I can figure out how too!!!
I have been reading American Dream the last few nights when I have been unable to sleep and it was not until I finished that I realised how awful a read it is, there are so many mistakes and contradictions so I would like to apologise to all of you that read it and I hope I am doing better with Love at First Sight...? I hope that you are all enjoying the story so far, all comments and suggestions are welcome and I will try and post another chapter soon.
Thanks to all of you who do read my story, I appreciate the support!
If I can also take this opportunity to say well done PENS on making the playoffs again, I know you can do it!!
Have a good easter everyone and thanks again!!

Chapter 10
The next day I arrived at work at about 0800 and had my usual meeting with Lorna and we agreed to go for lunch at about midday providing that the important meeting I had at 0900 was finished.
My company lawyer arrived a few moments later and we discussed what we were wanting out of the meeting that was about to start.
I was about to meet with the director of Headline Publishing who was thinking about selling up and I was hoping to convince him that his best option was to let me buy him out. Robertson Publishing has already been named as one of the top five publishing companies in the world and hopefully if I can pull this takeover off I will become number 1 which will be amazing, a dream come true. I won’t accept a merger, this is my company so I either buy him out or do nothing at all. Headline Publishing is also in the top 5 publishers, it would be an honour to turn it into Robertson Publishing.
The meeting went well but it lasted for hours eventually finishing at about 1500. Mr Hammond, the director of Headline Publishing seemed impressed by my presentation and promised he would look over my offer and come into the office to see me tomorrow before he left to go home to Washington and would give me his answer then.
‘I am never going to be able to sleep until I know what his answer is.’
I heard a faint knock at the door and without waiting for an answer Lorna came in with lunch for me.
“I took it upon myself to order you something to eat since the meeting was going on for a while, I hope you don’t mind.” She hands me a brown paper bag and sits herself down after closing the door behind her.
“Thanks sweetie, you’re a star. Is everything ok?”
“Yeah, everything is fine, I am just curious about how the meeting went, I know you want it kept top secret until you have an answer. Oh and Tyler called reminding you to talk to PR about releasing a statement.”
“Damn, I forgot about that.” I scribbled a quick note in front of me and took a bite out of my sandwich.
“God, I am hungry.
“The meeting seemed to go well but Mr Hammond has gone away to look at the offer and is coming back tomorrow at 1000 to let me know his decision. I am so nervous there is no way I will be able to sleep tonight, I really hope TK comes round when he gets back, he does not know about the takeover but he will still take my mind off things.”
“Well, I shall keep my fingers crossed that Mr Hammond likes the contract and will put in your diary that he is coming back in the morning.”
I called my PR department and asked them to release a statement about Tyler and me, giving them the relevant details and who the statement should be issued too.
I went home and made some food and it was soon time came for the game starting so I switched over to FSN Pittsburgh to see the guys finishing their warm up.
The game went well with both TK and Sidney taking a couple of points each. Shortly after the game finished my phone beeped just as I was crawling into bed.
‘I will get dropped off at your house when we get back after the game, I miss you. Wake me up and I will come for a run with you and will probably go back to bed when you leave for work. I will try not to waken you when I come in. See you soon hunny, sleep well.’
‘I like when he calls me hunny.’
‘OK gorgeous, see you soon. I have missed you too. That was a good game by the way.’
