“You want a puck?” I ask, knowing full well it might look or sound like I asked her something else. I’d also be down for that. This girl is even more gorgeous the longer I look at her. She’s dressed casually in jeans and a black sweater. Casual but still striking. All that blonde hair. I want to wrap it around my fingers and tug.
She barely moves her head, but the no is clear from the tiny shake. Her rejection shouldn’t sting; it’s a stupid puck for fuck’s sake, but I want her to have it. People around her are starting to notice I’m giving away a puck and start clamoring for it. I point to her, making my intentions clear, and then toss it over. A guy in the front catches it and (reluctantly) passes it to her.
“If you don’t want to keep it, you could write your number on it and throw it back,” I suggest, raising my voice to be heard over the noise.
A faint blush paints her cheeks, and her lips pull higher. She has a great smile. Perfect full lips and dimples.
“What do you say?”
Still silent, she runs her fingers over the black disc in her hands. Her fingers are adorned in gold rings, but the important finger is empty. “I don’t think so.”
“Is that your boyfriend?” I ask and tip my head toward the guy that was sitting next to her. He’s still chatting away with someone a few rows up like the hottest girl I’ve ever seen isn’t waiting for him.
“Shouldn’t you be, I don’t know, skating around?” Her stare lifts over my head to my teammates warming up behind me.
“Can’t. I just met my future wife and I need to know if she’s single.”
