#66. Josh Morrissey: Manitoba Moose (Winnipeg Jets)

  Lunch with a few of the girlfriends and wives of everyone on the Manitoba Moose is usually one of the best things you do.Except when they tell you that your boyfriend told his ex that he loved her within the two months of them being together.

You had been together for close to 8 months.

  After Chase De Leo's girlfriend Eileen (I have no clue if she actually exist or even if he has a girlfriend but please just play along) brought up something about how Josh is always talking about you and how she's sure he loves you and some of the other's chime in, you confess to them that he had never said that to your face and the reactions they had we're written on their features made you nervous.

  Then the truth came out, about how he had said it to his ex Jill while they were dating at countless times. They had broken up after she had cheated on him and had been during their entire relationship. Which lasted exactly 65 days, just over 2 months.

  So you finished your lunch quietly, nobody noticing the broken gaze and the sadness radiating off you like a wave, or it was noticed and no one wanted to wake the beast. So as soon as the lunch was over, you got out of there so fast you felt as if you had wings. When you get home you finally let loose the tears. But they don't flow for long. You suddenly become angry. You were living together, the two of you share a bed. And yet he said he loved her not you her. Different scenarios swirl in circles, and the only thing that comes of it is more anger. As your wiping the last few stray ones away the door opens signaling Josh is home from practice.

"Hey babe I'm home" He says as the door shuts with a click behind him. You go into the bathroom, grabbing a washcloth and running it under the cold water. Dragging it over your face, it pulls off all of the makeup you had on. Not that it matters anyway.

"(Y/N)?" He calls coming into the bathroom "There you are" Then he takes in the puffy eyes and tear stained cheeks. "(Y/N/N)? Are you ok?" He asks coming closer and you hold up a hand not daring to look at his crystal blue eyes.

  "Just don't right now ok? Right now I can't even look at you. I.. I don't understand why on the face of this earth, you could tell that.. that crazy girl that you loved her while on the course of your 65 days of being together she was sleeping with someone else! And you show no signs of ever saying it to me. For the love of god Josh, we're living together, we've been together 4 times as long as you were with her and you have never said those three words that apparently you said to her every hour. And it hurts because you seem like the one, and I love you with my every molecule in my living and breathing body. But apparently you don't feel the same way." Lifting your eyes, you stare at him.

"(Y/N)! Are we really going to fight about this? It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard" His laugh sounds through the apartment. "You really need me to tell you three words that if I say them too early that your just going to run and flee? That's what happened in my last relationship and that ended so horribly. I thought you knew this (Y/N). I can't believe you are fighting me on this, it's one of the stupidest things I think has ever come out of your mouth, and you never say stupid things!" His arms go to reach for you but you dodge it.

"No just don't touch me" You say lowly. "I don't care what you have to say to me. Just let me grab some clothes and I'll be out of your hair. I'll come get my stuff tomorrow while your at practice." With that you attempt to duck under his arm but he grabs your wrist and pulls you back to him. He presses his lips on yours and with one motion manages to make you stay standing in place.

"Do you really need me to say three words? Because fine I'll say them. I. Love. You. With everything I have. My heart, my brain, my veins, my nerves, everything. Nothing in my body doesn't love you. And I didn't think I had to tell you because I thought my actions, asking you to move in with me and kissing you and just being near you would be enough to tell you how much I love you. I love you (Y/N) (Y/L/N). I always will." His voice is in your ear before his lips are back on yours and he's kissing you senseless again.

"Now was that really hard?" You ask him your head burying into his neck. He laughs again and you smile a little bit. "I'm sorry I freaked out on you"

"Don't. I understand that you're a little freaked out but I didn't want you running away from me because your the best thing that's ever happened to me. So please don't ever compare yourself to her, she is nothing and has nothing against you." His voice is back in your ear again and your smile is no longer ghostly.

Love doesn't shape you, it explain's you, and in that moment, He explain's you. And that's all that matters. Love is all that ever matters.

AUTHORS NOTE

Hey everyone! Sorry that I have't been around as much as I promised but I got sick which is really surprising considering the fact that I don't get usually. But I'm back now and I will be back for the next 36-48 hours and then I'm at dance camp all week which trust me sucks. But I have a bunch of request that I think I will be able to get done by the end of summer if I put my mind to it. Thank you all so so much for almost 79,000 reads! I started writing this book a year ago and I thought I was gonna get a max of 100 reads and that would be the end of it. I never thought I would get that far, and I only have you to thank. So thank you so much!

This was for DaughterOfTheSeaYG sorry if this sucked :)
