The morning lights comes in through the blinds as I turn and felt another person besides me as I open my eyes and see it's Paul. He is still asleep and snoring a little bit.
I smile at the sight of Paul in the same bed with me. He is the person who risked his own life to save my own and he visited me every day while I was in the hosptial. He took me home with him instead of letting those two people take me with them and I'm falling for him very hard, and I still barely know the guy.
The telephone starts to ring as I hear it from all the way upstairs, I turn to see Paul still asleep as I move the covers off of me as I open the door, shutting it quietly as I rush up the stairs to the kicthen.
I turn and see the phone on the wall as I pick it up saying "Hello"
"AnnaBelle, it's James," James says.
"Morning James, whats up?" I ask.
"Where's Paulie at?"
"He is still in bed sleeping, why whats up?"
"Well he is late for this early morning partiace that Dan scheduled last night. Can you get him up and tell him to get his ass down here. This pratice is what? I got it Crosby. Sorry Sid says it's like 3 hours today and it started about 15 minutes ago. Just tell him get down here,"
"Alright James, I'm on it," I say as i hang up the phone as I see a blinking on Paul's cell phone as I walk over to it.
Picking it up, I hit a button as I see a message from Dan popping up
"Practice has been updated from 8 til 11, in stead of the 10 to 11:30,"
I put it back down as I hurry back downstairs as I cross the room, as I open Paul's door as I walk in to hear him snoring.
"Paul, wake up," I say as I turn on the light as I walk over to the window and pull up the blinds.
"What the," Paul says as he covers his head up.
"Come on Paul, you are late for pratice. Dan messaged every one last night saying pratice is early today. James just called so come on," I say as Paul moves the covers off of himself as he gets outta bed.
"Thanks Anna, sorry I'm not too much of a morning person," Paul says as he walks over to his closet as he opens it.
"I'm the same way Paul," I say as I smile.
"You wanna come with me?" Paul asks as he comes back out of his cloest with a suit in his hands.
"Why you wearing that?" I ask as he smiles.
"I have to wear on when its game day and praitce seems to come before pratice today so I have to wear it. So you want to come with me?"
"Sure why not, then after the game are we coming back home?"
"Yes,"
I watch as he walks back into the closet.
"Can I do these clothes tonight then so I dont have to borrow yours?" I ask as I see him emerge from the closet.
He has a grey sweater in his hands and a pair of jeans with a belt.
"Is this ok?"
I look over at him.
"Sure but can you get a shirt for me?"
He hands me the clothes as he walks over to this dresser as he throws me a shirt.
"I'll get dressed in the bathroom" Paul says as I watch him grabbing his stuff as I grab him.
"We can get changed in the same room, we are two adults Paul," I say.
"Your right,"
I smile as I strip out of the shirt and shorts as I change into the outfit that Paul picked out for me as I find my shoes and slip them on.
"I'm ready," I say as I see Paul putting a tie on as he turns and looks at me.
"Do I look good?" Paul asks.
"Yes," I say as he walks over to me as he whispers "You do too,"
We both walk out of the room as we head to the front door.
"Here, take the keys and get into the car. Your driving today," Paul says as he takes his keys off the ring by the front door, he hands them to me.
"You sure Paul?" I ask as I see him walking up the stairs.
"Yes, now go out there and start it up. I'll be out there in a minute," Paul says as I unlock the door and head out to the car.
I use the key pad as I unlock the door and get into the car.
Looking at the steering wheel, I just look forward as I remember something.
I'm behind the wheel talking to someone as the car starts to tumble over and over as I scream.
"Anna, Annabelle, you ok?"
I froze there as I felt something on me as I turn and see Paul.
Getting out I just get into his arms and hug him for as long as I can.
"Whats wrong?" Paul asks.
"I can't drive right now. I remembered when I crashed," I say as i knew tears were rolling down my face.
I feel as Paul touches my face.
"It's alright AnnaBelle, I'll drive to Consol," Paul says as he moves my face up to him as I look at him.
He leans over and kisses me.
I smile as he smiles at me.
"Let me get into the passinger seat," I say as he removes his hand as i walk behind the car and to the passinger side door, opening it up to get in.
Shutting the door I do everything i have too as I feel Paul backing out and heading to Pittsburgh.
"What about the crash did you remember?," Paul asks.
"I was just talking to someone and I remember the actual crash. That's it. I never want to relive that as long as I live," I say.
Paul grabs my hand and squeezing it as he says "You never will have too as long as I'm around,"
I just smile, I'm still wondering why God gave Paul to me. He is a great person to be around, maybe I'm meant to be with him?
We go through the tunnel as I see downtown right in front of me, it's always so pretty to see everytime I come into the city.
"Paul, this city is so gorgous," I say.
"It is, this is just an awesome city to be playing for?" Paul says as he contuines to head straight instead of turning.
"What other teams have to been on since you gotten into the NHL?"
"Just the New Jersey Devils, thats it,"
"Where are they at?"
"They are in Newark, New Jersey, Thats the state to the east of here. Whenever we play a game against them, I'll take you with me,"
I smile as he turns down different roads as he pulls into the parking garage of the arena.
He drives up to the fourth floor as he parks his car besides James's sports car.
"I'm gonna hit his car one day with the way her parks," Paul says as it causes me to laugh.
I smile at the sight of Paul in the same bed with me. He is the person who risked his own life to save my own and he visited me every day while I was in the hosptial. He took me home with him instead of letting those two people take me with them and I'm falling for him very hard, and I still barely know the guy.

"I'm gonna hit his car one day with the way her parks," Paul says as it causes me to laugh.
I see him smiling as we both get out of the car as Paul grabs my when as we both head inside the arena.
"I'll probably take you down to the arena first unless you want to watch practice in the tunnel," Paul says.
"What's the tunnel?," I ask
"It connects us players from the locker room to the benches," Paul says.
"I want to see it that way, I say as we approach the locker room.
"Your coming in with me," Paul says as we both walk in across the room as I see Paul's jersey is the only one up in the entire room.
"Guess your really late," I says as Payl lets my hand go as he starts to strip all the way to his boxers.
"I'm not but a half hour late," Paul says as he smiles at me.
"You only play with your boxers on?," I ask as Paul starts to get his gear on.
"There is so much protection that I don't need more on," Paul says as I watch him get fully changed into everything.
He looked like a pro, well he actually is. He just looks at me as I do at him.
Leaning over, Paul kisses me not casually but passionately as my arms go around his neck as I push him closer. He throws off his gloves as I feel his hands go along my back, pulling me closer to him.
We both release the kiss as we look into each other's eyes again as he kisses me once more.
"That's my good luck kiss," Pauk says as I smile.
He release his grib as I do mine.
He picks up his gloves as he places them back on as he grabs his stick.
"Is that all you need?," I ask as I knew he is forgetting his helmet.
"I think I'm not forgetting anything," Pauk says as he smiles.
I walk behind him as I grab his helmet off the shelf.
"Yes you are," I say as he turns around seeing his helmet in my hand.
"Can you place it on my head and strap it please?," Paul asks.
"Sure," I say as I place it on his head as I use the strap to secure it.
Paul theb kisses me, I knew he planned it.
"Thank you, I better get out there. Come on," Paul says.
He grabs my hand with his glove as we leave the locker room as we walk down this tunnel as I see other players on the ice.
"His ass is finally here!!!," Janes screams from on the ice.
"Shut up Neal," Paul says as he lets my hand go.
"Get out here dude," Another player says as Paul turns to me.
"You ok here?," Paul asks.
"Yes I am," I say as he smiles turning as he hops onto the ice.
Most of the players were on the ice but a few were on the benches besides me.
"How are you AnnaBelle?,"
I look besides me as I see Bortz looking at me.
"Good and you?," I ask as I follow Paul out on the ice.
"Doing good, besides sitting on the bench. Why aren't you sitting up there with the other?," Bortz asks.
"Pauk offered for me to come down here, so I took it," I say.
"Since he was late, why was he late anyways?," Bortz asks.
"Never got the message until James called, then I looked at his phone," I says as I see Paul moving around the rink.
"Ahh, well I know Katie will be excited to see you," Bortz says.
"I'm excited to see her and my first games since being out of the hospital," I say.
"I think Paul is planning something for you during one of the intermissions," Bortz says.
I turn to him asking "really?,"
"Yes but don't say anything about it. Pauk wants it to be a surpsise," Bortz says.
Wonder what your up to Mr. Martin.
