The days passed and we never saw Scott or heard from the police. Probably set it aside, won't do anything unless he comes around again. I rolled over to lie on top of Sidney and he moaned trying to push me off. "What time is?" he asked still half asleep. "It's midnight, happy birthday baby," I whispered into his ear before kissing it. "Oh, I get it, is this my gift? Because if it is, I love it," He smiled wrapping his arms around my back. "It's not but I can allow that," I laughed. He squinted his eyes open and smiled at me, but it was one of those closed mouth smiles that really stick his lips out. "I love you Avery," he smiled before kissing my nose. "Love you too Sid." To my surprise he rolled me over onto the bed and snuggled up next to me. "Maybe you can give me your gift in the morning, I'm really tired." I leaned back and gave him one last kiss on his lips before falling back asleep.
When I woke up that morning I rolled over to see Sidney was already gone. I hate it when he does that. I pulled on one of his Reebok shirts and made my way out to the kitchen where we was making pancakes. "Oh babe, I would have made breakfast, all you had to do was wake me up," I smiled before kissing his arm. "I wanted to give you your rest because after breakfast you are giving me your gift," he grinned looking at me over his shoulder. "Oh is that so? I see I have you on MY workout plan now," I laughed and he could only shake his head. We sat down at the kitchen table and ate our chocolate chip pancakes. I looked over at Sidney who was just shoving his face full of food. "Damn Sid, slow down," I laughed. "Sorry, I'm just ready to go here." "Is it sad we've started planning when we're going to have sex?" "As long as we're having sex I don't care." He makes a good point there.
I slipped into jeans and a tank top, put on my sandals and I was ready to go. "Can you do me a favor tonight babe?" he shouted from the living room. "Yeah?" I walked out to see him sitting on the couch. "Don't dance with Max, I know it's a weird request but it's still a sensitive area," he explained with no emotion in his face. "That's not a weird request Sid, that's completely normal. I won't get crazy tonight anyways, can't drink remember? You on the other hand, we'll get you nice and comfy," I smiled leaning down to give him a kiss. "Ready to go?" he asked after we pulled away from our kiss. "Yeah, Colby should be here any minute to pick us up." "Colby? Why is he picking us up? You're not drinking so how come we're not driving?" I looked down at him and raised an eyebrow. "Calm down, go with the flow. I have a plan," I smiled kissing him before he could say anything. I pulled away just as there was a knock on the door. "Alright come on birthday boy," I laughed dragging him off the couch.
"Ten o'clock on the dot Avery," Colby said looking at me through the rear view mirror. I smiled and saw Sidney look from Colby to me, Colby to me. "What's at ten o'clock?" he finally asked. "That's when the stripper shows up babe, so you have an hour and a half to get you nice and liquored up," I smiled taking his hand in mine. "Oh whatever . . . you did get a female stripper right?" What?! We didn't know what to say, Colby, Mel and I just laughed. We got to the brewery and quickly made our way upstairs as we heard many people yell, "Oh my god, is that Sidney Crosby?" "Damn, you would think this guy was famous or something," Max laughed pulling Sidney into a hug. "Talbot, what the hell, did you have any chance against that guy?" Colby asked as he took a good look at Max's face. "I thought I did," Max laughed and we all sat down. I was happy to see that Brad was working the bar upstairs as he was an excellent bartender, and I knew he would take care of us.
Ten o'clock was fast approaching and I couldn't help myself from looking out the windows every few minutes. "Well that's what she said, she said nobody, not nobody can do the Soulja Boy dance like she can!" Sidney shouted breaking my concentration from looking outside. Everybody's eyes landed on me with huge smiles. "What?" I asked a little scared. "I will pay the DJ to play that song right now, Army said he perfected it," Sidney shouted standing up. He tried his best to walk over to me, but eventually fell back onto the couch. He's trashed! "Come on Avery," he shouted standing back up but this time making his way over to the bar. After talking to Brad for a bit he walked back over. "It's going to be the next song, he wouldn't take my money he said he wants to see this too," Sidney smiled and landed a very sloppy kiss on my lips. I knew there was no backing out, Colby was already stretching out his arms and legs. I flipped my sandals off and walked over to where Colby was at, which was close to the railing which meant people downstairs could easily see what we were doing. The current song playing finished and I prepared myself for 'Crank That' to start playing. The opening notes to the song started and I took a deep breathe. I could see Colby really getting into it and I knew I had to bring my all, I was competitive when it came to dance offs. Just don't fall! "Soulja boy off in this ho, watch me crank it, watch me roll, watch me crank dat soulja boy, then superman that ho." Half way through the song I had to stop I was laughing so hard, Colby completely lost himself in the dance and was stepping all over his own feet. "Army you suck! Come here baby," Sidney shouted opening his arms open for me. I walked over and gave him a big kiss than looked out the window. IT'S HERE!!
Colby and Max helped Sidney down the stairs, he was capable of walking but the stairs kind of scared me. "Where are we going babe?" Sidney asked as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders, leaning into me. "Outside," I smiled. "We leaving already? What the hell?! I don't want to leave yet." We walked outside with Colby, Mel and Max close behind us and the Jaguar came into view, parked right in front of the brewery. "Damn that's a big red bow," Sidney laughed as we stopped right in front of the car. "Wait . . . what?!" He yelled and nearly sounded like a little boy with his voice cracking a bit. "Happy birthday baby," I smiled kissing him. "You got me a Jaguar?!" he pulled me into such a tight hug I couldn't talk as my mouth was smashed into his shoulder. I pushed him away and he pulled me into such a passionate kiss I thought I was going to take advantage of his drunk ass right there on the hood of the car. He finally pulled away and we both gasped for air. Now I was wishing he wasn't so drunk. He jumped into the passenger seat of the car and looked around. At this point a few people had wandered out of the bar and started taking pictures. Why do I need a marketing plan when I have make shift paparazzi right here!? "This is why Army drove huh!?" Sidney yelled and I could only laugh. "Come on drunkie! Let's go back inside!" I smiled pulling him out of the car.
We headed back upstairs and Sidney pulled me down onto his lap. "Baby thank you so much, that has to be the best thing anyone has ever given me," he smiled pulling me into another kiss. "I'm marrying this girl! Next summer, Army you hear me? You're my best man, next summer I'm marrying her!" "Crosby, did you just propose to me?" I asked trying to laugh but I was obviously nervous. "No, well I will, I plan on it, but I want to be sober when I do," he smiled pulling me down into another kiss. "I am going to marry you though, you have no choice." No choice? He sounds like my dad. We stayed at the bar for another two hours and Colby helped me drag Sidney out to the car. "Will you be able to get him into the house?" Colby asked as he pulled me into a hug to say goodbye. "He's either walking or sleeping in the car," I laughed. "Hey, we need to do dinner before you leave for Atlanta, okay?" "Yeah, I will call you sometime this week," he smiled then walked away with Mel.
I snuck out of the house the next morning and made my way to the airport. I felt bad for leaving Sidney at the house, but he had been throwing up all morning. Ah there's something I don't miss, hang overs! At the airport I walked into the baggage claim to find the Crosby's waiting. "Where's Sid?" Troy asked very concerned. "He's um, sick," I smiled and Trina laughed a little. "Sick or hung over?" Troy asked firmly. I looked over at Trina who was still laughing a bit. "Hung over. He had fun last night," I smiled hoping to see a smile from Troy, but nothing. The ride to the house was a silent one and I was happy to see Sidney had atleast showered when we got back. He tried to hide that he had a headache, but it wasn't helping his case at all. "Who's Jaguar is that outside?" Trina asked. "That's my birthday gift from Avery," Sidney smiled talking just about a whisper. "You guys are going to need a bigger house just for the cars," Taylor laughed. Ah, I love this family!
