“Yeah, well, you know the life of a smoothie maker…live fast, die young, right?”
Scott skated back to the bench with the rest of his line to let Coach Murdock know what was going on. “Bennett’s mad,” he said. “I can see that Bennett is mad. I’m watching the game.”
Scott: Sorry again for rushing off. I had a great night. Kip: Don’t apologize. I had an amazing night. Thank you. Scott smiled. When can I see you again? Kip: Insatiable! Scott: I am.
She studied his face. “You like him.” “I do. I… I really like him.” “Good,” she said. “Because he’s nuts about you. You need to understand how unprecedented this is for him.” “You think I’m going to hurt him?” “I don’t know. We’ve only just met. Convince me otherwise.”
“I’ll bet. I saw him being interviewed on ESPN. He’s kind of bonkers hot.” “Off the record? Yes. He is.” Kip laughed. “I’m pretty jealous of your job. Just hanging out in locker rooms with ripped, sweaty men.” “Well, you’re not gonna like this: Jalo’s my roommate tonight.” “Okay, now I really am jealous.”
“Scott. I texted him. He’s coming to take you home.” “What? Why? How do you have his number?” Elena stared at him like he was very stupid. “You’re scary, you know that?” Kip said. “Good thing I’m on your side.”
“That was a cute move!” Rozanov chirped as he skated by Scott. “I fucking love old-timers hockey!” He nudged Scott, which prompted Scott to shove him. Hard. Rozanov stumbled backward, then moved like he was going to shove Scott right back. The referee, Hal Coleman, stepped in. “Come on, guys. Rozanov, stop being a dick. Hunter, stop listening to Rozanov.” “How many minutes would I get if I just killed him?” Scott grumbled as he watched Rozanov skate away. “I’d have to give you at least ten,” Hal said dryly. “Not worth it in the playoffs.”
“I wanted to tell him,” Scott said. “I wanted him to know exactly who it was that was beating his face in.” Kip looked at him, surprised. “Well, that’s one way to come out. Not sure it’s what I’d recommend.”
“He is a normal person. He just happens to be very good at playing hockey.”
“Let me know if any of his teammates are looking for an adorable Latina to take care of.” Kip snorted. “Adorable?” “Tell them adorable. By the time they realize I’m a total grouch they will already be in love with me and it will be too late.”
Maybe next time we go out Scott will come too.” “Tell him to leave his shirt at home. And to bring a teammate!”
