What have I started

I have too many reasons not to

"Brandon." I whispered into his ear while he is holding me in his arms.

"Hey babe." he said softly.

"I missed you." I said smiling.

"I missed you too. Let's go to Starbucks." he said.

"You know me so well." I said.

"How are the Staal boys treating you?"

"I missed them a lot."

"Are you coming to New York?" he asked me.

"For regular season?"

"Yes. Please?"

"I might." I said.

"I hope you do. I need someone there with me." he said.

I got into his car and we drove to Starbucks.

"So do you like Jordan?" he asked.

"I did but I'm over him."

"Would you date a hockey player?"

"If they were meant for me I would." I said.

"Would you date me?" he asked.

"I would." I said looking at him.

"Will you be mine?" he asked me.

"I will." I said. He grabbed my hand and smiled the whole way to Starbucks. He rubbed small circles on my hand with his thumb while we were waiting in line. We got our coffee and went to his house. I was greeted by his mom and dad.

"Mom, dad, this is Ember. She grew up with my teammate, Marc Staal."

"Hi." I said.
"Do you play hockey?"

"I'm a goalie, well I was."

"Australian?" his dad asked.

"Yep. I moved when I was 8."

"Well welcome to our home Ember." his mom said.

Brandon led me to his room. I lay down on his bed and looked out his window. He covered me with a blanket and kissed my head.

"I'll be downstairs." he said. He left the room and shut the door. My phone buzzed.

From Jordan;

To Jordan;

From Jordan;

To Jordan;

I woke up to an arm around my waist. I was so close to Brandon.

"My parents are gone for the week. They said to tell you it was nice meeting you." he whispered.

"Do you enjoy laying beside me?" I asked.

"I'd enjoy being anywhere as long as I'm with you." he said softly. I turned so I was facing him.

"Don't worry, I'll never leave." I said.

"You will come to New York right?" he asked.

"I have too many reasons not to." I said kissing him. It turned into a battle of love.

We broke apart, breathless.

"I love you." he said.

"I love you too Dubi."
