Falling in Love-Ch10

I woke up to the smell of eggs and bacon, but I didn’t hear anyone moving around. I looked at the clock, which read 7:00 A.M, then crawled out of bed and walked into the bathroom to wash my face and put my contacts in. I slid down the banister and walked into the kitchen. I found a handwritten note stuck to the microwave door. I pulled it off and opened the microwave door. I took the plate of food and sat down at the kitchen island. I looked down at the note. I read it while I ate my breakfast.

Dear Kay,
I know you probably never want to see me again so I’m staying at Evgeni’s house tonight. I’m at the Mellon Area practicing with the team. I’ll be there until 9 if you change your mind about seeing me. I hope we can talk some day about what happened last night. I’ll be coming home tomorrow to pick up so stuff then I’ll be out of your life. You can keep the house if you want. I’ll pay for it for you. Just remember that I love you, Kay. And I always will.
Love,
Sidney
The note fell from my hand as my fingers lost the grip on the slip of paper. As the paper fell to the ground my feet ran up the stairs into the bathroom to take a shower. I dried myself off the walked into the bedroom and over to the closet. I grabbed a pair a jeans and blue and black polka dotted shirt which I slipped over my matching black bra and underwear. I rushed downstairs and grabbed Sid’s car keys and bolted out the door. I opened the door to a blue mustang. I drove down the road toward the arena. I pulled into the arena parking lot and sprinted toward the doors entering into the arena. I looked down at my watch as I tried to open the door. It read 8:30. I dialed Sidney’s number while I looked for his other car, his silver range rover. I was sure I’d reach his voicemail, but surprisingly he answered.
“Hello?”
“Sidney?”
“Kay?”
“Yea. I was wondering if you could take a minute out of practice to come open the front door for me.”
“Hold on. I need to ask coach.” I could hear Sid screaming to his coach and his coach screaming back.
“Ok. I’ll be there in a couple seconds.” He said as he hung the phone up. He arrived at the door shortly after that. He opened the door with his skates still on.
“Thanks.” I said looking at the ground.
“I would’ve been here quicker, but I decided not to take off my skates.”
“It’s ok. Do you have any extra skates that would fit me?” I asked.
“Yea, I could find some.” He said as we walked down to the ice. I could see Jordan, Marc-Andre, Evgeni, and the other players. Sidney walked over to a couple a racks of skates. He came back carrying a pair of skates.
“See you out there.” He said as he dropped the skates near my feet.“Ok.” I said feebly and put my skates on.
