Status: On Hold

Friendship is Another Word for Love

Chapter 10

*****Patrick’s POV****

Today was an exciting day because Jazmynn was coming home today and I knew Alyssa was excited. Hell, I was excited. I couldn’t wait to spend time with Jazmynn and spoil her, because I was going to spoil her. As I drove home from practice, I tried to remember what we actually went over during it. I was so wrapped up in Jazmynn’s homecoming that I stopped paying attention.

I stopped at my place to change before heading over Alyssa’s apartment. When I got there she was literally bouncing up and down with excitement and I couldn’t help but laugh.

“A little excited?” I asked her as she continued to bounce. She was moving too much that I couldn’t kiss her. “Can you stand still like for like two minutes so I can kiss you?”

Alyssa shook her head and went to get her purse, but I stopped her and turned her face to me so I could kiss her. I could see it in her eyes that she was playing with me and that she was excited. Seeing her so excited made me smile as well and it made me fall more in love with her. I kissed her softly at first and it quickly escalated to passionate. Alyssa ran her hands through my hair and a groan escaped as she pulled on my curls. I felt her smiled and I managed to deepen the kiss even more as we moved to the couch. Things were moving very quickly and neither of us were stopping it. Having Alyssa playing with my hair was turning me on and I didn’t care.

Alyssa shifted so we were now laying on the couch and she removed her hands from my hair and I tried not to whine. She began playing with my shirt clearly telling my she wanted it off, so I broke the kiss to take it off. At that moment I knew that this is what I wanted. Alyssa. I straddled her hips and began slowly opening the buttons of her blouse, making sure my fingers brushed her skin. When I did touch her, she visibly shivered and I couldn’t help but smile. I loved seeing her like this. I pushed the fabric off her shoulders and she leaned forward to let fall off, which brought our faces close again. Alyssa took advantage of the closeness and took control of everything, that is until I forced her to lay back down.

Things were really heating up and then I felt Alyssa hesitate a little bit and I knew she was having second thoughts about where this was going. I pulled back a little to look at her.

“What’s wrong, babe.” I asked her. She just laid there looking at me for a little before answering. “Alyssa, what’s wrong?”

“I don’t know. I don’t know if I’m ready for this.” She sighed. “We haven’t been together long at all. I-”

I cut her off with a kiss. I knew what she meant and I wasn’t going to be pissed at her. She wasn’t the type of girl to jump into things head on and that’s one thing that I admired about her.

“Okay, if you’re not sure about it we won’t do anything.” I told her reaching on the floor and handing her her blouse.

“Thank you. I’m sorry if I lead you on.” She apologized quietly, looking down.

“Hey,” I said getting her to look at me. “Don’t ever apologize for something that you aren’t comfortable with or not ready for. I would never force you to do anything, you know that.” I placed a light kiss on her lips to show that I wasn’t mad about it. “Will you be ready to get Jazmynn in about five minutes?”

Alyssa nodded and put her shirt back on and walked off down the hall. I just sat there with my head in my hands. Things have defiantly changed for me, because if that was any other girl I would have been pissed we didn’t finish what we started. I sighed, Alyssa’s different asshole. You care deeply about her. Hell you might even love her. Love her? Did I love her? Sure I really enjoy the time we spend together. Home games don’t feel right if she isn’t sitting in the stands wearing my number. Away games are hard because I don’t get to see her there with me. I find myself smiling like an idiot around her and lately I have found myself having trouble breathing when she’s around. If the guys just mention her name I’m smiling like a fool and trying to listen to see what they are saying about her. I renovated my guest room into a room for a child. Me, Patrick Kane, has a kid’s room in his house. Who would have thought?

I ran all those feelings through my head and smiled when I got an answer…I loved her. The only question I had, did she love me? I jumped when I heard the bathroom door open and Alyssa come out. I quickly grabbed my shirt and pulled it over my head. I walked over to my girlfriend and kissed her as I held the door open for her. Things were going to be different with us from now on.
