Right Tiifany, hear goes chapter 16. Let me know what you think of it. Hopefully I will get some more comments, hearing everyones feedback does a lot for my confidence. I will try to get the new chapter up on Sunday.
Oh and I have so much faith in the Pens tonight, I dreamt last night that they won the cup and I am looking at that as being a good omen, I really think they can win! LETS GO PENS!!
So back to the story...
I decided to park my car at the office and walk over to the arena, the 2 car parks were almost joined but my designated space was far enough away that Tyler wouldn’t see my car. Even if he does he will probably just think I have gone into the office for something. On game day my office car park gets opened up for the fans to use because their own car park is always full.
I made my way over to the Mellon with my gear and met Ray at the reception where he escorted me to the training room where I would take the class.
I got myself set up and put on my kung fu clothing and my black belt. I tied my hair up into a high ponytail and busied myself in the corner with the pads as I heard the boys coming along the corridor.
I kept my back to everyone as I listened to Ray and Michel Therrian gather everyone round.
“Right guys, I won’t keep you in suspense any longer… Gill will you come over and tell the guys what we have organised.”
I turn round and see the look of shock on everyone’s face especially Tyler but soon his look of shock turns to one of happiness and relief.
“Good afternoon guys, hope you are all well after the game last night.
“Ray has asked me to do some specific training with you all… somehow he has found out that I am a qualified kung fu instructor and he would like me to do some classes with you all to build on your strength. I will also incorporate some self defence techniques which eventually we will take out onto the ice so that you can use it when getting into a fight during a game.
“Any questions anyone?”
I looked round everyone to see them all shaking there heads.
“Last night you were all so loud and now I can’t get a word out of you… anyway let’s start with a warm up.”
I put them through a rigorous warm up and then asked for a volunteer.
“You go TK.” I heard as everyone pushed him forward.
“I will let you pick on TK today but I will look for a different volunteer every session.
“I am going to start by showing you the best way to stretch your legs before doing kung fu and then I will demonstrate the 3 basic kicks that you will need as you work through each grading.
“Before any of you ask you will all get graded and if you’re good enough you will get your belts as your progress and right now you are all working towards your white belt.
“Ok Tyler, come here please and if you can lean against the wall with both of your legs straight.”
I hear some giggles come from the guys but chose to ignore them for the moment.
“Ok, lift one of your legs letting me take a hold of your ankle and control where your leg goes.”
I cup my hand around his ankle making sure that both of his legs are still straight.
“I am going to start lifting your leg up and when you feel these muscle pulling tell me to stop.” I run my hands over the muscles in the top half of his leg pointing out the ones I need him to work on and can tell by the look on his face that I am sending him over the edge.
“Stop” he quickly replies.
“Ok tense and relax the muscles continuing to do this until they feel looser.”
I pull his shorts up slightly letting the guys see what I am talking about and then we work on the other leg.
“Right, now it is your turn to stretch my legs and then we will work on the side muscles of your legs.
“Let me take these baggy trousers off for a moment so that everyone can see what they are meant to be looking for when stretching each others legs.”
I look at Tyler and see his eyes widening in shock and I hear a cheer from all the guys. I always wear fitted ¾ length trousers when wearing my kung fu outfit as it is very baggy due to the style of martial arts clothing.
I place my trousers on the floor and then stand against wall as TK had done moments before.
He lifts my leg up and I keep him right, when I tell him to stop and I flex the muscles to stretch them when I hear Jordan in the background.
“My word, she can lift her legs higher than you can mate.
“You are one lucky guy TK, she has amazing legs. I wouldn’t mind running my hands down them and then seeing what is underneath the rest of those clothes.”
“We went out for a 5 mile run this morning and then Gill swam 100 length of the full size swimming pool she has in her house, I swear she is fitter than all of us put together.
“but please stop think about what is under her clothes Jordan although I can assure you it is just as nice as it looks, in fact better.” TK answers without even thinking about it.
“Come on guys remember that I am here and can hear everything you are saying about me.”
We finish off the stretching and I put my trousers back on much to everyone’s disappointment.
The guys all have a shot at stretching their legs and then I show them the kicks taking the kicking pad around telling everyone to kick the target as they practice all three kicks.
“I not kick lady” Geno explains to me with his adorable broken English accent.
“I can handle it Geno.”
“No, I not kick lady.”
“Ok Geno, you take the pad” I show him where to hold it, “and tense your body then I will prove my strength to you.”
He does as I ask and I quickly do all three kicks, kicking him hard but not with my full strength. I don’t want to be responsible for hurting the Penguins.
“Gill you kick hard. Tyler you no upset Gill or she beat you.” He laughs that cheeky laugh as he hands me the pad back and gets ready to kick.
I work round all the guys and they have a go at kicking the pad.
“You are all picking this up well so I am going to move on and show you the etiquette that again you will use throughout your training and then I will show you number one hand block. If you pick that up well I will show you a bit of self defence and then I will show you something that I want to you to practice along with your kicks before the next session.
“TK if you will come forward again.”
I show them what we discussed and again they picked it up fast so I decided to have a bit of fun and show them some self defence.
“TK come here, if you start by doing the etiquette and then moving into left fighting stance.
“Good, now I want you to step forward with your right foot while punching out with your right arm, I want you to aim for my nose. While we are still practicing wait until your partner nods their head to signal they are ready.
I nodded and he did as I asked, I proceeded to step back with my right foot and block his arm with my left hand, instead of carrying on with the number one hand block I grabbed his arm and pulled him down towards me bringing my right elbow up to hit his jaw (which I intentionally missed), the motion of the right arm following through and wrapping itself around the back of his neck while continuing to hold his arm. I brought my right knee up kneeing him in the stomach with very little force (again so not to hurt, we are only practicing after all). Bringing my right arm back and my right leg back down, my left hand still holding on to his arm I placed my right hand on his shoulder and pushed him away making him fall to the ground.
When doing this exercise it flows together and is over in seconds so TK never knew what hit him. When he landed on the floor the guys all cheered and clapped as TK looked at me with that look of hunger that I had previously seen in the restaurant.
They practiced for a while before I gave them some exercises to practice before the next session.
“So guys, did you have a fun?”
“Yeah” Max pipes up. “We loved seeing you beat up your boyfriend.” He says laughing.
“Seriously we all had a good time, thanks Gill. I certainly feel like I have had a good work out and think I am going to get a lot out of it.”
“Good stuff. Well remember to try and find some time to practice and I will see you all when you get back from Toronto. Good luck for the game and have fun.”
The guys all left leaving TK to say goodbye again.
“You have no idea how much that turned me on, I so wish I could take you home and show you just how much I enjoyed the class.” TK leans in kissing my lips passionately before moving down and kissing my neck, his hands wondering trying to find his way under my martial arts jacket without much success.
“As much as I hate saying this you have to stop. The bus is waiting for you.”
I walked him down to the bus and gave him a kiss before I waved them all off.

Chapter 18
Before I post the next chapter I would just like to say that despite last nights terrible loss I still have faith in the Pens, I still think that they can win, the definitely will win game 6, there is no way they will let those Red Wings beat them on home ground again, especially after a loss like last night. I know they can do it. LETS GO PENS!!!
Also, if anyone is still reading this can you leave me a comment to let me know what you think of it, my confidence in the story is a bit low just now because I am not sure that anyone is even still reading it. All comments are welcome, good or bad. Thanks.
And now for the next chapter!!!
I got up at my usual time to go for my run and swim before heading off to work knowing that I will have so much do to, I guess it serves me right for taking a day off.
Right enough my day was constant. I had so much to do and was so glad when the girls started appearing at about 1630.
“You look stressed Gill” Clair tells me as she gives me a hug.
Clair is Petr Sykora’s wife and she is lovely.
“I have had such a busy day, there is still so much going on with regards to the company takeover and I have a never ending list of people wanting to talk to me. I love my job but on days like this I wish I could run away and hide. I am glad it is Friday.”
“Why don’t you employ someone to do your job and then all you have to do is spend the money?” I hear Max’s current bimbo ask.
She is one of the girls that Vero told me is not faithful but then again I can’t imagine Max ever being faithful either.
“I love my company and I love working here, believe it or not, not everything is about money.
“Clair, I hear you are a big fan of books?”
I change the subject before Tracey (Max’s girlfriend) gets a chance to answer.
“Yeah I love them, I am always reading.”
“I am going to a book awards ceremony next week in New York when the guys are away, would you like to come to the office and see the library in the basement and then come to the awards with me? You will get good food, be able to meet some great authors and most likely get to take some never to be published books home with you. I will also put us up in one of the nicest hotels I have ever seen. I was thinking about asking Vero to come along too even though I know she is not a book worm like us.”
“That would be amazing, we will have to go out shopping before hand and get beautiful dresses.” She answers sounding so excited.
“Cool, well why don’t we go to New York on Tuesday so that we have most of Wednesday to shop before the awards at night?”
“Great I can’t wait.”
We went out for a meal and then some of the girls decided to go out on the town so Lorna, Vero, Clair and I decided just to head back to mine to watch the game. We all text our men and told them to meet us at my house when they got back.
I opened a couple of bottles of wine and put out some nibbles and we settled down to watch the game. The Pens won again so we knew they would be in a good mood when they got back.
“Gill, can you sing us something?” Clair asks once the game is finished.
“I don’t normally sing in front of people.”
“But you have great voice Gill, please?” Vero pleads.
“Come on Gill, I have never heard you play or sing before.” Lorna adds her comments.
“Ok, Ok, what do you want me to sing?”
They all look at each other and if reading each others mind all at once they ask for Tim McGraw and Faith Hill.
“Ok, no bother.”
I sit at the piano and play cords for a moment or two warming up my hands.
“Ok girls this is ‘Like we Never Loved’ by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill"
You never looked so good
As you did last night
Underneath those city lights
Then walking with your friend
Laughing at the moon
I swear you looked right through me
But I'm still living with your goodbyes
And you're just going on with your life
How can you just walk on by
Without one tear in your eye
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me
Maybe that's just your way
Of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all
You, I hear you're doing fine
Seems like you're doing well
As far as I can tell
Time is leaving us behind
Another week has passed
And still I haven't laughed yet
So tell me what your secret is
Just to let it go let it go like you did, like you did
How can you just walk on by
Without one tear in your eye
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me
Maybe that's just your way
Of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all
Did you forget the magic…
Did you forget the passion…
Did you ever miss me…
Ever long to kiss me
How can you just walk on by
Without one tear in your eye
Don't you have the slightest feelings left for me
Maybe that's just your way
Of dealing with the pain
Forgetting everything between our rise and fall
Like we never loved at all
The room was quiet as all the girls took in the meaning of the song, each of them thinking about their lives and the love they have for their men hoping that they will never feel they way that Faith Hill does in this song.
“I am going to sing one more song that makes me think of Tyler, I am not sure if you will know it or not, it is called ‘Home’.
Another sunny day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
I want to go home
Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just want to go home
Oh I miss you, You know
And I’ve been keeping all the letters
That I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
I'm fine baby how are you
Well I would send them but
I know it's that it's just not enough
The words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that
Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I'm lucky, I know
But I want to go home
I've got to go home
Let me go home
I’m just to far
From where you are
I've got to come home
Let me come home
I've had my run
Baby I'm down
I want to come home
And I feel just like
I'm living
Someone else’s life
It's like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me
Another winter day
Has come and gone away
In either Paris and Rome
And I Want To Go Home
I miss you, you know
Let me go home
I've had my run
Baby I'm down
I want to go home
Let me go home
It'll all be alright
I'll be home tonight
I'm coming back home
I again looked around the room as the girls sat with distant looks on their faces knowing that the men they loved all had to face these feelings every time they were away, that although they all loved their jobs they hated leaving their women behind.
“Is everyone ok?” I ask as I close the lid on the piano and went back to the sofa.
“When the guys come round can you sing that song again Gill, it describes what they feel so well and I think it will mean a lot to them.
“Have you told Tyler you love him?” Vero asks.
“Yeah I will play the song.
“What makes you think I love Tyler? I have only known him for just over a week?”
“It is written all over your face Gill, the emotion is your eyes is so strong and we have all seen how you are together. It is ok, we understand and are so happy for you both, you are good together and we have never seen TK like this before, you make him feel like he can be himself, he doesn’t need to pretend anymore.”
“We talked about it the night before last and we told each other then how we are feeling. We admitted that we have fallen in love but are really scared because everything has happened so quickly.”
We all talked for the rest of the evening about our feelings for the men, each of us admitting our fears and insecurities but also smiling about how happy these guys make us.
We completely lost track of time and before we knew it we heard the front door opening and the guys laughing hysterically about something.
“What is so funny?” I ask Tyler as he dumps is stuff and sits down on me giving me a quick kiss.
“You would think that I don’t have enough seats or something.” I say as I see everyone laughing at him.
“We just had a pretty mad journey home everyone has been hyper for some reason.” TK answers as he leans down to kiss me again.
We all sit talking for a while after the boys get themselves something to drink and eat the nibbles that I had put out for the girls.
“We have asked Gill to sing you all a song.” Clair tells the guys as she cuddles in to Petr, “We think it sums up the way you all feel when you are away.”
Tyler moved off me so that I could I get up giving me a reassuring smile as I walk away.
Again I sit down at the piano and warm up my hands.
This song is called ‘Home’
…I’m coming back home.
As I close the lid on the keys I look around everyone again to see all the couples holding each other close, all of the guys except Sidney sobbing slightly, I felt Tyler come up behind me and as I stand up he turns me round and pulls me into him holding me tight.
“I love you so much Gill,” he whispers into my ear.
“I love you too.”
I look at him and wipe his tears away.
‘I know now that I am doing the right thing. His reaction to that song has proved to me just how much he loves me.’
‘I really don’t trust Sidney though, I think he is just using Lorna and I am really worried.’
We all sat talking for a while longer with everyone leaving about an hour later.
Tyler and I went to bed without saying much, both of us content just to be with each one and other. We curled up in each others arms falling fast asleep within minutes.
Also, if anyone is still reading this can you leave me a comment to let me know what you think of it, my confidence in the story is a bit low just now because I am not sure that anyone is even still reading it. All comments are welcome, good or bad. Thanks.

Chapter 17
My phone rang as I was driving home and since when I am in the car my phone is always on hands free I answered it. I did not recognise the number so I answered politely in case it was a business call.
“Good afternoon, Gill Robertson speaking.”
“Hey Gill, it is Vero, how are you?”
“Hey V, I am good thanks, how are you? I am just heading home if you fancy coming over.”
“I am fine thanks. Yeah that would be good. I was just calling to ask if you fancied meeting tomorrow after you finish work, I thought we could all go out for a bite to eat and then watch the game.
“Sounds good to me, you want to just tell everyone to meet at the office and we can go somewhere from there?”
“OK, can I get Lorna’s phone number and I will ask her if she wants to come?”
I gave her Lorna’s phone number and Vero said she would phone the girls and then head round to mine for a bit so I said I would heat up some pasta and sauce for us.
About an hour later Vero appeared at the door with flowers and a bottle of wine.
“Aww, thank you Vero, you are an angel.”
“A lot of the girls have gone out on the town tonight, they usually do when they guys are away but I don’t want to be tarred with the same brush as them.” Vero tells me as she follows me to the kitchen.
“Are they not faithful to the guys?”
“Most of them are but a few of them are just puck bunnies, they are out for all they can get and I am not like that. I have known Marc all my life and I love him more than words can explain. I can see that you too are genuine and I can trust you, I think me and you will make a good team.” Vero smiles and gives me a big hug.
“You are a good lass Vero, I too think we will make a good team.”
The conversation continues about many things when Vero asks:
“Do you know why the guys had to go into the Mellon before they got the bus today? Marc said it was some sort of strange surprise for them, did TK say anything? I have not spoken to Marc since he left the house and he probably won’t call until later tonight.”
“Ha, no he never said anything but I have known for a couple of days what the plan was.
“Ray phoned me the other day when I was at work and he told me that an unnamed source told him that I am a qualified kung fu instructor. He then continued to ask if I would do some training with the guys. Eventually I agreed but for some reason he did not want me to mention to anyone.”
“Wow, so do you have like a black belt and stuff? Did the guys enjoy it?”
“They actually seemed to have a great time, they especially liked me using TK as a volunteer for self defence and getting him on the ground with little or no effort but I have told them that they cannot pick on him every week, they will all take it in turns to be my volunteer. Oh and yes I have a black belt.”
We carried on talking, getting to know each other better when she said she better go home and that she would see me the next day.
“Goodnight Vero, see you tomorrow.”
I spoke to Tyler briefly on the phone before settling down for a good nights sleep.
“Good afternoon, Gill Robertson speaking.”
“Hey Gill, it is Vero, how are you?”
“Hey V, I am good thanks, how are you? I am just heading home if you fancy coming over.”
“I am fine thanks. Yeah that would be good. I was just calling to ask if you fancied meeting tomorrow after you finish work, I thought we could all go out for a bite to eat and then watch the game.
“Sounds good to me, you want to just tell everyone to meet at the office and we can go somewhere from there?”
“OK, can I get Lorna’s phone number and I will ask her if she wants to come?”
I gave her Lorna’s phone number and Vero said she would phone the girls and then head round to mine for a bit so I said I would heat up some pasta and sauce for us.
About an hour later Vero appeared at the door with flowers and a bottle of wine.
“Aww, thank you Vero, you are an angel.”
“A lot of the girls have gone out on the town tonight, they usually do when they guys are away but I don’t want to be tarred with the same brush as them.” Vero tells me as she follows me to the kitchen.
“Are they not faithful to the guys?”
“Most of them are but a few of them are just puck bunnies, they are out for all they can get and I am not like that. I have known Marc all my life and I love him more than words can explain. I can see that you too are genuine and I can trust you, I think me and you will make a good team.” Vero smiles and gives me a big hug.
“You are a good lass Vero, I too think we will make a good team.”
The conversation continues about many things when Vero asks:
“Do you know why the guys had to go into the Mellon before they got the bus today? Marc said it was some sort of strange surprise for them, did TK say anything? I have not spoken to Marc since he left the house and he probably won’t call until later tonight.”
“Ha, no he never said anything but I have known for a couple of days what the plan was.
“Ray phoned me the other day when I was at work and he told me that an unnamed source told him that I am a qualified kung fu instructor. He then continued to ask if I would do some training with the guys. Eventually I agreed but for some reason he did not want me to mention to anyone.”
“Wow, so do you have like a black belt and stuff? Did the guys enjoy it?”
“They actually seemed to have a great time, they especially liked me using TK as a volunteer for self defence and getting him on the ground with little or no effort but I have told them that they cannot pick on him every week, they will all take it in turns to be my volunteer. Oh and yes I have a black belt.”
We carried on talking, getting to know each other better when she said she better go home and that she would see me the next day.
“Goodnight Vero, see you tomorrow.”
I spoke to Tyler briefly on the phone before settling down for a good nights sleep.

Info.
Hey everyone.
I will not manage to get another post up until the end of the week, my story is saved on my laptop which my husband has taken away with him on a business trip so I promise when he returns I will post the next chapter. I hope you are all continuing to enjoy the story.
So I am loving the fact that the Pens are still in the playoffs, game 7 was amazing!! I know they can do well against the Canes too.
Well, on another note, I was made redundant a couple of weeks ago but have managed to find a new job really quickly and start next week so I am very excited about the new challenge, I am going to be working in the insurance industry so it is something completely different to what I have been doing in the past. Fingers crossed that it all goes well, I have a good feeling about it.
So thanks again everyone for your continued support in my writing, I appreciate it. Please remember to leave comments, good or bad, I love hearing your feedback.

Chapter 15
“Oh Gill” He puts his arms around me so tightly sobbing into my shoulder. “I love you too, I really do and I wanted to tell you but I didn’t want to push you away, Oh Gill hunny you have no idea how much this means to me. I love you so much.”
We sat talking for a while longer about our confessions until we eventually settled down to sleep.
‘I can’t believe how fast this is going I really hope I am doing the right thing.’
Once again I woke up before TK so before I woke him up for him to come for a run with me I got changed into my running gear and put all of my kung fu equipment and clothing into the car as to not initiate any questions from TK later.
When I got back to the bedroom Tyler was lying awake with tears running down his face and he was sobbing like a child.
I sat down beside him and wiped away his tears.
“What is wrong hunny?” I ask as I lean down and kiss his forehead.
“I got scared when I woke up and you were not there. I thought maybe you regretted last night.”
“Will you please look at me Tyler” He sits up leaning against the headboard.
I put my hands on his face wiping away his tears with my thumbs.
“I am not in the habit of telling every guy I meet that I love them. To me love is a very important thing and not just a word that can be used casually. I meant what I said, I love you and want you in my life, don’t ever forget that.”
I leaned in and kissed him deeply, my tongue gently massaging his, the taste of salt coming from his tears. I pull away still holding his face and tell him again that I love him.
“I love you too Gill I guess like you I am just scared. I have never been in love before and I just want to do it right.”
“Stop worrying and just go with the flow. I think we should both stop being scared and just help each other and take each day as it comes.”
Tyler eventually got up and I went for my morning run with him, I again went for a quick shower before heading for the pool. “Are you coming for a swim Tyler?”
“Yeah I suppose so.”
I swam my usual 100 lengths with Tyler stopping at around 50 and just messing about until I finished.
“Wow Gill I think you are fitter than me and that is not allowed, I am a professional hockey player.” He jokes as he puts his arms around me.
Tyler and I begin kissing deeply before things get carried away.
‘We fit together so well as if our bodies were made to be one’.
We eventually leave the pool after having some 'fun' in the pool and head for a shower and fix up some breakfast spending the next few hours together before I got ready to head to the Mellon.
“Right TK, I have to go now. When do you get back from Toronto?”
“We are coming back on Friday night before heading to Sweden on Monday, I really wish you could come with me?” Tyler stands holding me close to him.
“You will be too busy having fun to think about me, I have plenty of work to be getting on with here and will be here waiting for you when you get back.
“Oh and I forget to tell you, my next business trip is in November to Detroit and I was checking your schedule that you put on my fridge and you are there at the same time so I will try and get a ticket for the game. I have booked my hotel and flights so I will give you a copy of my agenda when you get back. Just come here again on Friday when you get back from Toronto.”
We said our goodbyes and thankfully there were no questions as to where I was going.
