Chapter 19

Before I post the next chapter I just want to congratulate the Pens on winning the Stanley Cup. I am so excited about it and think I have told so many people about it. I am gutted about missing all the celebrations so if anyone has pictures please please please email them to me. Thanks.

Ok to the chapter!!

The following day was Saturday and the Pens had the day off so Tyler joined me in my usual morning routine trying to keep up with me in the swimming pool and failing miserably.

“I was thinking that maybe we could go away somewhere for the day, I have no idea where and I don’t really care, I just want to get away with you for a few hours before the party tonight and before I go away on Monday.”

‘Mario Lemieux is holding a pre season party at his house tonight so I don’t imagine we will be able to get much time alone together.’

We went for a drive and had lunch at a small village close by and then for a walk around the surrounding area.

“I told Marc and Jordan last night that we had told each other we were in love and they were so happy for us.”

“I spoke to the girls too and they are over the moon.

“I hope you didn’t mind me singing last night when you all came back?”

“Are you joking, it was beautiful. You let us express how we all feel when we were away without having to say anything.

“We all get quite lonely and upset when we are away because we know we have left you all alone.”

“You girls are what keeps us going and I am so glad that you have become good friends with the others, especially Vero and Clair. They have both always been there for me and they are very good friends of mine.

“I love you so much and can’t thank you enough for everything you have done for me in the short time I have known you.”

We walked about for a while longer before heading back to Pittsburgh to get something to eat and get ready for the party.

Tyler made up a salad for us while I had a quick shower dressing only in my dressing gown leaving my hair straight and wet until I had eaten so that I did not get food down my outfit, I can be a bit of a klutz some times.

I went back to my bedroom to get changed after we cleaned up the dishes.

As I stood looking in my closet for something to wear TK came up behind me and undid the tie on my dressing gown and quickly pulled it off my shoulders letting it fall to the ground.

“What are you doing Mr Kennedy?” I ask as I shudder at his touch, his hands moving around my waist and his kisses moving around my shoulder blades.

"Helping you get ready...", he answers mischievously.

“I love you so much Gill. I was really looking forward to Sweden until I met you and now I want to stay here with you, I am going to miss you more than I can explain.”

I lift my head up to look at him.

“I am going to miss you too but we knew this was going to happen. We love each other Tyler so we will be fine, being apart will make us stronger and allow us to appreciate each other more. Everything is going to be fine.

“Now Mr Kennedy are you going to help me find a dress for this party or shall I just go like this?” I ask as he places me back down at ground level.

“Ha, I would love to see you going to the party dressed in your birthday suit but I wouldn’t want the guys seeing what I get to see. Let’s go and find you something pretty to wear.”

He picked out a lilac dress which was fitted around my bust and then flowed out, it was cut just above my knee and had thin straps. I picked out deep purple high heeled shoes and a deep purple clutch bag. Since it was getting colder I also choose to wear a deep purple silk shall.

Tyler wore his black pin stripped suit with a lilac shirt and a deep purple tie and we laughed at how we wore matching colours.

I looked at us in the mirror and couldn’t help but smile.

‘I am so happy.’
