Chapter Fifty-Five

The morning after we got to Detroit, I decided to go to the front desk to see what room Sidney was in to surprise him. I knew that he should be in his room until practice, so I figured it would be a good time.

“Hi.” I said walking to the woman at the front desk.

“Hello, can I help you?”

“Yes, actually I was hoping to find out the room number of my boyfriend. It’s a surprise that I am here.” I explained.

“Oh of course, whats his name?”

“Sidney Crosby.” I said and she just gave me a look.

“ I can’t tell you tell you that information.” She said.

“You just told me that you could?” I asked confused.

“I’m not allowed to give you that information, I can’t even confirm that they are staying here.” She said.

“I know for a fact that they are staying here. He told me that they were.” I said.

“Then why don’t you just ask him for his room number?”

“I told you that it was a surprise that I was here.. he really is my boyfriend and I just want to see him so I don’t see the reason why you can’t tell me what room he is in, because I will find out because I am his girlfriend.”

“I’m sorry, miss.” She said.

“Fine.” I said and got out of my cell phone.

“Hey, babe.” I said.

“Hey.” He said a bit confused.

“Could you come down to the front desk of the hotel?” I asked him.

“What?”

“I’m down here and it was suppose to be a surprise, but no one would tell me your room number.” I said.

“Yeah, I’ll be there.” He said and we hung up.

“My boyfriend, will be right down to prove to you that I am not lying. Why would I lie about who my boyfriend is?” I said to the woman. Then I went to sit down on a couch in the lobby. About five minutes later Sidney walked out.

“Jo, what are you doing here?” He said coming behind me.

“Jake and I are here to see the games. I wanted to be a part of it.” I said.

“I’ll get you guys tickets.” He said.

“When did you get in?” He asked.

“Last night. It was late so I didn’t come find you then. I wanted to surprise you but no one at the desk would give me your room number.” I explained and then he went up to the woman.

“Hi.” He said.

“Hey.” The woman said blushing.

“This is my girlfriend, and I just want to be clear, that if she wants something you should do everything in your power to give it to her. I would appreciate she being treated better from now on.” He said and then we walked hand in hand to the elevators.

“So why are you here?” He asked again.

“I didn’t want to miss this. But, I also don’t want to be a distraction so I will just be with Jake and if you have time or want to see me you can call me. Or my room is 707.” I said.

“You aren’t a distraction.” He said and then we kissed.

“Okay, well I will see you later.” I said.

“I love you and I’m really glad that you are here.”

“Me too, babe.” I said kissing him before I left.
