Where did Chelsea and Hunter spend their first unofficial date? #FridaySnippets

A snippet from my NA contemporary hockey romance - A Guy and A Girl


Scene set - Chelsea and Hunter's first unofficial date.



Chelsea joined her parents for supper, after working at the mall boutique. She checked her cell phone while listening to her mother talk about the plans for the upcoming Braymer wedding. Amy Henderson was a wedding planner and her conversations were usually filled with hilarious descriptions of hysterical brides with ridiculous requests. Chelsea smiled at her father. "So, how was your day, Daddy? Kick any guys off the team?""Sent four home.""Find any special ones?" Chelsea's mother handed her husband a salad. "How about that one I met in the rink?""He's the special one. His ice name is The Hunter. I should get Dad down here to see him, but I'd like to keep this guy a secret. Once the pro scouts see him, I've lost him." He sipped his wine. "His talent far surpasses the other players. His ice skills are—""Beyond my humble comprehension." Chelsea finished her father's sentence. "Thank you for feeding me, but I must be off. Homework at the library." Chelsea kissed her father on the cheek then turned to her mother. "I suppose I can borrow your car?""Why did we get you an apartment? We should've gotten you a car."Kissing the top of her mother's head, Chelsea chuckled. "Don't need a car. I've got yours. Bye."Once she arrived at the campus, Chelsea climbed the steep steps of the library. When she entered, the aroma of old books and the atmosphere of hushed concentration greeted her, warming her to her very soul. From the sleepy look on Hunter's face, no doubt the atmosphere affected him in a non-academic way. A smile formed on her mouth as a shiver of delight flowed through her. "Hey you." She dropped her pad and pencil on the table opposite him. "Don't you be looking like you're falling asleep.""I think I need some caffeine." He yawned. "Caffeine and sugar.""There's a Coke machine just outside. We could grab one."Rubbing his face and eyes, Hunter stood. "Lead on." He followed Chelsea to the main entrance. "My treat. Coke or Diet Coke?""Diet." She sat on a step."Here. Ching. Ching." They clinked cans. Hunter chugged half his while Chelsea sipped hers."If I gulped it like that I'd have to let out the most unladylike belch you can imagine." She reached down and rubbed her ankle."Well, that was a visual I just didn't need." He sat close to her left, but not close enough.

What people are saying about Victoria Adams' A Guy and A Girl
Who can resist a sexy star hockey player with secrets...not many especially the coaches daughter. This story has hot and steamy along with psycho exes and crazy best friends trying to mess things up. Even after battling exes and boyfriends, hospital stays and a long distance relationship he has to overcome the secret of his past so they can move forward. Highly recommend this book. 
There were plenty of plot twists and turns, which made the story very exciting. I didn't like the villains, so they were written very well. I loved Chelsea and Hunter and the way their romance built as they overcame each obstacle.
