Semua Bab Dancing On Ice: One-Night Stand With The Hockey Captain: Bab 31 - Bab 35

Memphis’s P.O.VMarcus cocks a brow at me, his eyes filled with questions. But the minute I pull the door open, he straightens his face and shifts his gaze to my father seated at his desk.I know he’s gotten the memo not to mention anything that can put Princess in a tight spot, yet my heart wouldn’t stop pounding. As soon as I arrived, I’d barely found a comfortable position when my mom asked what I knew about the woman Marcus came with. Thank goodness I heard Marcus’ footsteps.My parents—my dad in particular—are chronically interested in Marcus’ romantic life, and have tried to set him up with several women of their choice. We’re gathered here in the middle of the night because every one of their attempts has failed. They didn’t think he’d show up with anyone for my party. I made a bet with him to get him to act. Maybe I shouldn’t have. I don’t know anything about her; I want to, but not like this – in an interrogation room disguised as a study – that will only give my parents’ lic

Memphis’s P.O.V~Monday~I’m back on campus after an awful weekend and a sour birthday. At least Sunday wasn’t all that bad.

The girl from my past, from a different state entirely, several miles away, is now involved with my brother. How does this even happen to anyone?‘I may have made things worse. I kissed her.’‘I kissed her.’Even if she’s rejected him, it only confirms that something really is going on between them. I mean, they’re

Anne-Marie’s P.O.VThe one person I’ve spent the past two years trying to bury from my memory—the one person who brings me the most heartache whenever I think of them—is my classmate. And I’ve been paired up with him for group work. This has to be a deadly prank life is playing on me, and it’s not funny at all.My head is pulsing from worry. My heart is pounding against my chest, threatening to break out. Taking deep breaths, my eyes follow him as he races out of class without sparing anyone a glance, roughly pushing his way through the throng as if he’s being chased.It’s really him. Champion… the guy I saw two nights ago – Marcus’ younger brother.“Memphis?” Someone calls after him.And his name is Memphis.I drop my eyes in a blink, quickly packing my books into my backpack, my hands trembling. I could barely concentrate on anything Miss Blake said during class. I snatch my phone from my desk, toss it into my bag, zip it up, grab my backpack, and spring to my feet.“Hi,” Caleb stops
