One-Shot Stories

22-year-old Belle's life was truly cloud nine. She is a senior at The Ohio State University, graduating this fall with her degree in English, a member of the school's hottest sorority, and she was an ice girl for her favorite hockey team, the Columbus Blue Jackets. Her best friend and fellow sorority sister, Kayla, was also on the ice girl squad and they loved all the time they were able to spend together.

The Blue Jackets have one last game tonight ahead of the playoffs beginning next week, and all of Columbus was excited. Even though this game did not count, it was still a fun and wild atmosphere inside Nationwide Arena. During the first intermission, Belle, Kayla, and the other ice girls were cleaning up prior to the second period starting.

"So, Belle, what should we do tonight?" Kayla asked as she pushed a shovel filled with ice shaving.

Belle sighed, "I have an exam in chemistry on Monday and I really have to study. I just want to be done with school and start work." Belle has already secured a job post-graduation as an assistant to a famous author that lived in the area.

"Damn it. The girls and I were going to have a party at the sorority house," Kayla said.

Belle shrugged, "Fuck it. I'll study all day Sunday. Count me in."

As the girls headed down the tunnel to watch the second period from their changing room, Belle bumped into someone. She looked up and noticed her favorite Jacket in Josh Anderson, "Oh my goodness, I am so sorry. I didn't see you."

Josh was eyeing her up and down, highly impressed with what he saw, "My apologies, but you look absolutely beautiful. Have we ever met?"

"I do not believe so. My name is Belle and I'm an ice girl here. It's so nice to meet you," Belle smiled, sticking out her hand.

Josh shook her hand, "I'm Josh, but you probably knew that."

Belle giggled and blushed, "I did. Don't you have to get back out there and play?"

"I do, yes, but would you like to come to my house tonight? I have a bottle of wine I've been dying to open up," Josh offered.

"I would, but my sorority sisters are throwing a party," Belle replied.

Kayla came over and butted in, "She'd love to come."

"Perfect. I'll meet you here after the game. See you later," Josh grinned, nudging Belle before leaving.

What would happen at Josh's house? Would Belle fall for a professional hockey player from the organization she works for?
