Chapter 1
Kylie’s POV
I tucked my iPod into my bag and stood up in the airplane, thankful for the chance to finally stretch my legs. I pulled my long, wavy brown hair into a ponytail before walking off the plane and into the airport at Pittsburgh. I was so excited to be here. Don’t get me wrong, I loved my parents and Cole Harbour, but I got into some boy issues there. It’s going to be great to be able to start over for my senior year and live with my older brother. I recognized my older brother, Sidney, even though he had a Reebok hat covering most of face and a jacket zipped up to his chin. I ran over and hugged him eagerly. “Sidney!” I yelled.
He looked around before saying. “Shhh Ky, inside voice.” He reminded.
I rolled my eyes, but did turn down the volume of my voice. “Sid, I’m not fucking eight years old again. I can use whatever voice I want.” I told him.
“Kylie, language.”
I stared at him. “Puh-lease? Mom and I see those f-bombs you drop at the refs all the time. Hockey players aren’t gentleman, and I’m not a lady. I thought we covered this?” I sat before patting his cheek.
He finally grinned and hugged me back tightly. “It’s going to be great having you around.” He said before leading me to the luggage claim.
He grabbed two of my heaviest bags and I grabbed the lighter two. I heard a groan escape his lips. “God, what the hell did you bring? You’re whole room?”
I laughed before saying, “Yes, I actually did.” I put my hands on my hips and pretended to think for a moment. “Damn, I forgot my bed.”
He looked and before shaking his head. “Man, I remember when you were that sweet, little girl that wanted me to watch Disney Channel with her constantly. You were so cute..and then this happened.”
I snorted. “Woow, so nice Siddy.” I commented before throwing the bags in the back of his Range Rover and getting into the passenger seat.
“Don’t call me Siddy.” He mumbled
“Why not? Siddy.Siddy.Siddy.Siddy.” He ignored me before starting the car and driving out of the parking lot. He looked at me for a moment before looking back at the rode. “Kylie..if you need to talk to me about what happened with Brent..I’m here for you.”
I looked at the window. “I don’t want to talk about Brent.” I said icily.
“But what he did to you..” He started to say.
“I said, I DON’T want to talk about it.” I snapped quickly. Sid finally gave up before I noticed where we were going.
“Hey Sid, where are we going? This doesn’t seem like the way to your house..” I said looking at the unfamiliar road.
He smiled at me guiltily. “I actually have a game, so we’re going over to the rink.” He admitted.
I rolled my eyes and smiled, “I should have known, but I don’t have anything to wear!” I said before looking down at my pair of ratty sweatpants and sweatshirt.
“What are you talking about? You have on a perfectly good pair of clothes.” He asked confused.
“No, these are my travel clothes. What happens if I meet hot guys, I need to look my best.” I told him in a “duh” tone of voice.
It was his turn to roll his eyes, that happened a lot between the two of us. “Fine, just climb over the seats and get an outfit.” I did exactly what he to do, picking out his jersey from Rimouski that he game me, a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, and a pair of light, blue converse.
He laughed at me, “Do you still collect converse?”
“Well of course. Now don’t look.” I told him before pulling my shirt over my head and putting on the jersey. I slid down my sweatpants and I was just about to put on the jeans before he cut in.
“Uh, Ky since when do you wear thongs?” He asked me in a worried/disguited tone.
“I told you not to look, you perv. Looking at your little sister’s ass.” I said teasing him.
“You’re avoiding the question.”
I finished putting on the jeans before putting my hair into a loose bun. “I don’t know..” We sat in the car in an awkward silence after that. Luckily, we got to the rink soon after that. He got out and handed my ticket. “You’re going to sit next to Marc’s girlfriend, Vero, she’s very nice.” He told me.
“You’re just going to leave me with a bunch of people I don’t know?” I asked slightly panicky.
He laughed at me, “You’re be fine Kylie, they’re all very nice.” He repeated before pushing me inside the back door and staying behind to sign some autographs. A tall woman with long, dark brown hair was waiting for me. Like me, she was wearing a jersey, but this one said Fleury on the back. I think that’s the Penguins goaltender…
She held out her hand and said excitedly. “Hi, I’m Vero! You’re going to be sitting next to me at the game and I’ll show you around.”
I smiled shyly and held out my hand. “Hi, I’m Kylie.” I said quietly. She linked arms with me. “Let’s go watch the warm ups.” I smiled for real this time, this was going to be a great evening.
The Penguins played great, and they won against the New Jersey Devils 4-1, Siddy getting an assist. Vero led me down to the locker room, “I’m going to stay out here, but you can go in if you want.” She told me.
I hugged her, “Thank you so much for tonight Vero. I had a blast! We have to do it again soon.” I told her that before pushing the door open to the locker room. Men were walking around all over. Correction, shirtless men. I was in awe, looking around, almost running right into Sidney.
“What are you staring at?” He asked me.
“Them.” I said simply, still gawking.
His expression turned grim and he sat me down in his stall. “Kylie, almost all of these men in here are at least 3 years older then you. They are OFF limits, got it?” He told me, staring at me.
“But…I’m almost eighteen.” I said standing up.
“I don’t care, no.” He said sternly. Marc-Andre Fleury looked up from the stall next to us and stared. “Woah, you two look like twins.” We both ignored me, and next this I know a handsome looking man with dark eyes and hair came up to us.
“Flower’s right, you two do look a lot a like. But do you have an ass as big as Daryl here? Let me see..” He said leaning over and looking at my butt before putting a hand right above it. “No.” He whispered in my ear, “you have a pretty hot one.” I blushed and was about to say something, before Sid quickly pulled me next to him protectively. “Watch where you touch my sister Talbo.” He practically growled.
I rolled my eyes at me before grinning at him flirtatiously. “Ignore my brother, he just doesn’t know how to have fun.” I said before flipping my hair over my shoulder. “Talbo” laughed before patting my shoulder and walking back to his stall.
“What did I just say K-“ He was about to lecture again before we both noticed one of his teammates walk out of the shower area with no towel. I barely got to see it before Sidney clamped a hand over my eyes. “Tanger, get a now on now!” He commanded.
“And you, you are going to wait outside the locker room.” He told me, keeping his hands over my eyes before directing me to the door.
Before the door shut, I yelled out. “Hurry up, I have to pick up some tampons!”
omg, I loved the wide eyed drooling at all the half naked men in the dressing room, I mean, who wouldn't?
