She blinks atready to call an usher to have ives in!” at the top of her lungs while pointing at me

Everyone within a twenty-foot radius turns their eyes on me and I just want to sink into my seat and die

Then Monica puts her arm around my shoulders and squeezes “Don’t worry I’ll teach you everything You’ll be a pro by the end of the game ”

Just then a tapping noise gets our attention and we turn to the ice I feel Monica’s body freeze next toon the other side of the glass, hitting the end of his stick against it to get our attention

Okay, now that is holy fking hotness right there

Alex stands there, his hair slightly sweaty around his te at me His blue eyes are intent as they caress s He’s utterly beautiful,that other dude, Garrett, look like a reject

Flashing me a small smile, Alex shootsthat the nunificance

“Holy shit, girl,” Monica wheezes as if she can’t get her breath “Alex Crossman just eye-fucked you in front of the entire arena ”

“What?” I practically shriek as her words penetrate my hazy brain “No way ”

“Most valuable prick,” she says matter-of-factly “He’s a complete assle to the fans Rumor has it an assle to his team as well But God, he’s like the hottest player in the entire league, so I could definitely overlook that ”

While Monica does spendobscenities at the players froame to me when she can I now at least understand what offsidesto catch on to the concept of a power play I still don’t understand the penalties, and I surely don’t understand why you’re allowed to fight in a ga watching as one of the Cold Fury players drops his gloves and faces off with an opponent atto their feet
