The Oilers season had started. Allison was keeping up well. She loved to see Connor play. Her new found friends were always available for a game, even if it had been preseason. With the team on the road for the first three games of the season, they were stuck with just watching on TV.
He saw she hadn't done anything for Thanksgiving when he came home. He decided to be the bigger person. A couple of the single, younger guys on the team were having a turkey dinner at Taylor and Connor's house. They hadn't really invited anyone besides their teammates. Connor asked if he could invite Allison, and probably her roommates. The guys didn't mind whatsoever.
Allison answered her phone hesitantly. "Hello?"
"Hi, I know we haven't talked in a bit." He cleared his throat.
"Yeah..."
"Look, you don't have family out here, I don't either. Do you and your roomies wanna come over for a turkey dinner at my place? A couple of the guys are coming over. It'll be nice." He told her.
"Okay, yeah. That sounds alright. What time and what can we bring?" She asked.
"Whenever you're ready and some kind of dessert." He smiled.
"Alright. See you when I see you." She hummed before she hung up.
Allison told Phoebe and Veronica. They were both excited. Allison let them take their time getting ready, since Phoebe was 'in love' with Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and needed to look perfect.
Veronica was just trying to have some fun. She wanted to look good to find someone. Allison went and bought a bunch of desserts. She knew Connor's favourites so she just grabbed those. They would suffice.
She asked him who was coming to make sure she had enough. He gave her a list. Luke, Taylor, Oscar, Ryan, Griffin, Jordan, his girlfriend, and Nail. She grabbed an extra pie. She wouldn't eat it but someone else could.
She paid and went home. She wouldn't need as much time to get ready. Mainly because she knew Connor had already threatened them to stay away from her. She rolled her eyes thinking about it.
Phoebe and Veronica were dolled up. Veronica was in a black, long sleeve dress with black nylons on. She had black booties on as well. Her hair was done and Phoebe had evidently done her makeup, since she had an unreal smoky eye.
Phoebe was a bit more simple. She had her makeup done and her hair curled. She was wearing black nylons as well. She had a red, sparkly skirt on with a black, flowy top. She had a cardigan over it and was wearing small heels.
Allison wore a big sweater with black tights and Uggs. She did her makeup and straightened her hair.
Connor was nervous. The guys had never met Allison. They knew the whole story of her and Connor, but had never met her. He heard the doorbell ring. He started smiling. He walked over. He pulled the door open and saw her standing there with all her desserts.
She looked comfortable. Her friends were both dolled up. He held back a laugh when Alli rolled her eyes about them. He led her to the kitchen.
"I brought all the shit your mom always got. And then like a random couple of pies because you guys eat a lot." She explained as she set them down.
"Al," He spoke. She turned to him. "Happy Thanksgiving." He pulled her into a hug.
"Happy Thanksgiving, Connie." She smirked. "Let's introduce everyone."
Allison introduced the girls to all the guys while Connor introduced the guys to Alli. Griffin and Allison had met before. Drinks started flowing. Dinner was served an hour and a half later.
Everyone was getting along fine. Taylor and Jordan's girlfriend, Lauren, cleared the table. Allison went to grab the desserts, with Connor's help of course. The pair placed all the desserts on the table. All the guys thanked Allison. She just laughed.
She decided she'd do clean up. Taylor stopped her from that. He told her to go relax with a glass of wine. She had a beer instead. She was sitting between Connor and Griffin. She was having a good time.
As the night went on and the girls got more intoxicated, Oscar told them they'd be staying the night. Jordan had stayed sober and was driving Luke, Oscar, Griffin, and Nail home. Ryan and Phoebe had already found their way to the guest room.
Taylor would be in his own room. Veronica was probably really close to joining him. Allison couldn't see the harm in sharing Connor's bed with him. She never did. That's why she always ended up naked in his bed. She and Connor couldn't just be friends.
They were doing alright this time. She borrowed some of his clothes and changed in his bathroom. They were laughing and making jokes with each other. She crawled into his bed. He plopped down beside her.
They were still laughing about nothing. They were cuddled up. His hand was resting on her hip. She looked up at him. That's when he gently pressed his lips to hers. She didn't pull away.
"Thank you for inviting me." She whispered on his lips.
"Thank you for coming." He replied before he kissed her again.
For whatever reason, it wasn't weird when Allison woke up naked the next morning. It was like she expected it.
She woke up, took a shower, and put her clothes back on. Connor was up when she finished. It wasn't weird to him either. They started talking about their dinner and the possibility of leftovers. They were laughing together again.
All three girls went home in the same state. Laid. Phoebe was convinced her and Ryan were in love. Veronica expected to never talk to Taylor again. And Alli. Alli kept it to herself. She didn't want a lecture. They all agreed it was a fun Thanksgiving.
