Just coming off the ice after our first win of the season and hopefully many more to come this season, when James comes over to me. Me and James have been friends since he first joined, we work very well on the ice and he's a really great guy to have around. "Hey man, your hat-rick was impressive", not to brag but I'm good and I know it, "thanks, you and the misses going out tonight", "we are first time in a while, we're also bringing along a girl for you to keep you company (eyes involuntary roll, not another fucking puck bunny to deal with), don't give me that look she's a fan of the sport in a professional capacity. She's really lovely", "fine, but if she tries anything", "I know, I know man, but you need to get over Amelia, that was 7 years ago", "I know but I can't go through that again". For back story the one girl I have been with in my entire 22 years on this planet, started abusing me, physically, mentally and sexually in high school, I was with her from the age of 14-17 and it got to the point where enough was enough, after one night she had humiliated me all night, calling me all the names under the sun, raped me and punched me, I went to the police and then straight to the ice rink where I took my anger out on the pucks I was sending flying through the air. So like I said I can't go back there, I'm scared that if I give someone my heart again that they will break it and walk all over it. I still wake up some nights sweating, even though I know she won't every be getting out of prison and they found she murdered someone. I know this sounds insane but I'm in a better place now minus the occasional nightmares.

After James had fully described this girl I have this feeling in my chest it all seems to good to be true; she's rich, therefore won't be sponging off of me if I don't want her to; she's been through some shit in her past and some of it not even Sharon knows yet; she's short; she's blonde; she's well educated; and her hair is supposedly the most beautiful thing ever. I truly believed to start with that James had a crush on her the way he was bigging her up, but as I stand in the bar gazing at the beauty who is sat with my best friend and his wife, I know he's not lying, she's stunning. She's wearing this hot dark blue velvet dress, which is cut into a low v, accenting her perfectly formed breasts, that stops at mid to high thigh depending on if she's sitting or standing and to top it off she's wearing these black Louis Vuittons which just add to the outfit. Her hair is just as long, blonde and curly looking as James described it, she is the definition of perfect in my eyes, let's hope she lives up to it in personality.

I take three long strides over to the table which holds Sharon, James and mystery girl. "Hey bud, glad you could make it", "your welcome, now can you introduce me to little miss gorgeous over here" I said interacting to mystery girl, "ah, Abby, this is Liam and Liam, this is Abby", "a pleasure to meet you Mr Archer" she said innocently but my little dude really over enthusiastically liked the 'Mr Archer' part, "pleasures all mine Princess, and please call me Liam", she bit her lip nervously before moving up the bench so she was now in front of Sharon and I could slip in, next to her. As the night progressed I found out that she's a book worm and a sucker for a good romance book, which so am I but won't admit it not the first time of talking to someone. Soon after midnight the Taylors called it a night rather abruptly but that when I saw James's boner, I quickly averted my eyes as they awkwardly ran out of the bar.

Leaving me and my princess alone finally, another drink later two what looked like puck bunnies came and sat in front of me and Abby "excuse me, but we were kind of in the middle of a chat, you can have the seats once we leave" Abby confidential spoke, but neither of the two airheads caught on, "but you were hogging Liam, it's girl code to always share the celebs", "I'm sorry but what are you talking about, we friends having a chat so please could you leave" she said with a little less confidence this time, so I put a finger under her chin so she's looking at me, "we can just go if you'd like i'll take you home", "that would be lovely", she took the hand I placed out for her, before we left she turned back to the girls who were clearly eye fucking me, "next time before you approach a 'celeb' have the common curtsy to introduce your self and not make such rash assumptions about someones intentions. I just wanted to enjoy an evening with my friends and not be put into the bracket of someone who sleeps around", as she turned back around this time she's leading me out of the bar.

Once we reach my pick up, I help her into the car before placing a hand on her knee with the side door still open "I'm sorry for them, their what we call puck bunnies, they love to have one night stands with hockey players in the hope one of us decide to keep them around" she places her tiny hand on he cheek and says "it's not your fault that you have girls falling at your feet", "that might be true but I'm holding out for a girl like you to make me fall at their feet", a few moments of silence pass before I got into the drivers side, I've been on 0.0 alcohol beers all night. I drive up to her house and realise we're neighbours, literally, she lives next to me, so when I pull up to my driveway she looks confused, "well, neighbour this is my house, so it seems as if movie nights are on the cards for us", she smiled and whispered "I would enjoy that very much, thank you for the ride home", she leant over the console a placed the daintiest kiss on my cheek which makes them immediately blush. And after that we go our separate ways to our houses, all night I could not get that girl out of my head. I fell asleep with the biggest smile as I caressed over my right cheek where the kiss still lingers.
