“Kids shouldn’t drink,” Ilya said, fighting to keep a straight face.
“You my mother?” the kid shot back. He made another grabbing motion for the glass. Ilya pulled it out of reach. “I thought big bad hockey players are supposed to be wild and shit. But you’re just a little bitch who’s afraid of buying a hot guy a drink.”
On a cold December night after yet another win against the New York Admirals, all Ilya Rozanov wanted was a drink, some peace, and maybe to forget that Shane Hollander had a beautiful actress girlfriend.
Unfortunately, a loud, persistent, painfully underage Russian teenager with a talent for pushing boundaries had decided Ilya is tonight’s entertainment. And somewhere between vodka, jealousy, and a truly unhinged attempt at bonding, they manage to ruin each other’s evening in a way that feels… like the beginning of an unlikely friendship.
