Fake Dating the arrogant hockey Captain Image Conduct
Cole's POV"Again," said Dana Whitfield. "And this time, with love."I gazed into the camera eye. It gazed back, blank."I am so excited to be a part of the Aurelia family," I echoed."You look like you're being held hostage.""I'm thrilled.""You look like you're chewing nails." Dana, Aurelia's director of image strategy, was a tiny woman in a gray blazer. She had once made a six-foot-five goalie cry by showing him a spreadsheet. She tapped her tablet "Unclench your jaw. Relax your eyes. Picture the thing that makes you happy."I imagined Lila, asleep on my shoulder on a Sunday afternoon, a pencil still in her hand.My face must've softened."There," Dana said, startled. "That. Do that.""I can't do that on command.""But then figure out how to pull it off on time." She handed me the tablet. "Next. Press guidelines. Rule one: all personal relationships are cleared through the Image Department before they're mentioned on camera."I blinked. "Cleared?""Girlfriends, boyfriends, wives,
Fake Dating the arrogant hockey Captain Almost Normal
Lila's POV"Again," said Professor Calloway without looking at his score."From the top?""From the bridge. And Lila?""Yes?""Try playing it like you mean it."I took my hands off the piano and looked at him. "I do mean it.""Not well enough." At last, he lifted his grey head. "This piece is just static," he said, "Play it until it comes alive.""That's...remarkably specific feedback.""I'm a remarkably specific man."I laughed, flexed my fingers, and fell into the bridge. This time I let it get ugly. Dissonant notes bounced off each other, the left hand snarled beneath a melody that refused to give it enough room to breathe. When the last note hung in the air and dissolved into silence, the practice room was very still.Professor Calloway took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose."Well," he said. "That will do.""Is that good?""That is the best thing anyone in this department has done in ten years. Don't let it go to your head.""Already too late.""All right. Have
Fake Dating the arrogant hockey Captain The Draft
Cole's POVThe so-called Aurelia Ice League building looked like someone had asked a bank to build a cathedral and then made it taller just because they could."Say it," Mason said, leaning out of the passenger side to speak."I am not saying it.""Say it, Harrison. You got drafted. First round. Say it aloud so the universe knows this isn't a dream.""I was drafted.""With feeling!"I said it louder with a smile. That dimple appeared again on his face before I knew what was happening, and he grinned at me before he suddenly bellowed so loudly the car windows rattled.Six weeks ago I'd been standing in a warehouse with my father's blood on my knuckles wondering if I'd ever be clean again. Now, I was parked outside top-of-the-line pro hockey ready to sign a contract upstairs.Life had a cruel, twisted sense of humour. At least, it was less unwelcome."Don't fumble it now," Mason said as I got out."Your confidence is overwhelming.""Just saying. You're allowed one personality here. Pic
Fake Dating the arrogant hockey Captain Forty years
Lila's POVThe police station had a burnt coffee aroma to it and kind of stunk like floor cleaner.I sat on a plastic chair in a white room with a blanket wrapped around me, that I didn't remember anyone giving me. On the other side of the desk, Detective Ruiz sat down to type my statement with two fingers. He typed slowly as if teaching himself how to defuse a bomb, one keystroke at a time."Take your time, Miss Thompson," he said."I've spent some time here already." I said, "I suppose I can spare you ten more minutes."He glanced up. The corner of his mouth twitched and, for the first time since the warehouse, I felt enough of whatever is in my chest loosened to admit a breath."Fair enough."Beside me, Grandma clung to my hand. A paramedic had examined her twice. She told him she was fine, then told him again (even less politely) when he advised a hospital."I've survived worse than being tied to a chair," she declared."Grandma, you've never been tied in a chair before now.""The
Fake Dating the arrogant hockey Captain We finally did it
Lila’s POVThe sound of boots pounding against the concrete floor made me turn my head.Victor jerked around, his gun still pointed at my grandmother. For one terrifying second, I thought he was going to pull the trigger before the officers could reach him. “Drop the gun! Now!” One officer shouted, his gun raised.“Put it down!” another officer shouted.Victor’s eyes moved from the officers to the gun in his hand before finally dropping it. It hit the concrete with a loud clatter. One officer kicked it away while two others rushed forward, grabbed his arms, and forced him to his knees. The sound of handcuffs snapping around his wrists filled the room.“Victor Harrison,” the officer began. “You’re under arrest for murder, kidnapping, and sexual assault.”“No!” Victor struggled against their grip. “Get your filthy hands off me!”The officers dragged him to his feet, but he kept fighting them. Then his eyes found Cole, who stood a few feet away, his face bruised and his shirt stained f
Fake Dating the arrogant hockey Captain A Day of reckoning
Lila’s POVMy fist struck my father's face before he could turn around. Victor stumbled forward, crashing into one of the unfinished concrete pillars. He barely had time to steady himself before I grabbed the front of his suit and pulled him back toward me.“You son of a bitch!”I punched him again.He staggered, blood appearing at the corner of his mouth as he looked at me with pure disbelief. Then his expression changed.He swung at me. His fist caught my cheek, sending me stumbling sideways, and a sharp pain shot through my face. He shoved me backward, and I nearly lost my footing on the scattered pieces of concrete. I had barely recovered from the pain when he struck me across the face.“You ungrateful little bastard!” he shouted. “I could have killed you in your fucking dead mother’s womb!”His words struck me harder than his fist. For one horrible moment, I stared at him, unable to believe he had said it so easily. Something inside me snapped and I immediately lunged toward him.
