Shattered Truths (Lies, Hearts and Truths, #3)

We can barely afford basic groceries, but there’s always money for smokes and beer.

My actual name is Randall Ballistic the third, but that sounds pretentious and douchey. My parents call me Randall, and my friends call me BJ. I think it’s partly because my dad’s best friend used to call him Randy Balls, and my aunt Violet dubbed him Horny Nutsack.”

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂💀

All these people I’ve been running into are connected to one another through their hockey-legend fathers. It’s a freaking trip and a half.

You didn't recognize all their last names?!

“We’re destined to know each other. I like you. I think you’re fucking gorgeous. I want your digits so I can tell you that in awkward text messages.”

“We’d have a great time on the ice together. And every time you’d smile”—he bites his lip—“it would give me an emotional boner.” I bark out a laugh and shove his chest, but he captures my hand in his. “What the hell is an emotional boner?” “It’s a real thing. It’s how I feel every time I make you smile or laugh. Like my emotions are all excited and can’t be contained.”

She shows up fifteen minutes late, which is a heck of a lot better than her usual half hour. She’s dressed in a black leotard and a black skirt. Her makeup is done as if she’s ready for an actual performance, not just a practice skate.

You totally need a new partner dude!!!!

“You’re good. I can only stay until nine forty-five, though.” I booked the ice until ten, but then saw she’d added an extra hour.

Shes not good! It's disrespectful! And who is paying for the "extra ice time" she booked?! WTF dude stop letting her waste your time and fuck with your olympic chances by dragging your partnership out when you need to find a serious partner! She fucking likes you and is trying to be more subtle than the last chick thinking she'll have a better outcome AND i'd bet fucking money she's gonna flip her shit at Winter when she finds out y'all are a thing! 😡😡😡

“I know you’re tired. Tomorrow we’ll lie in bed all day and watch movies. We can even watch that one about the hockey player and the figure skater.”

Yeah cause he won't be able to skate 😩😭💔
