~~~(Location: Holden Indoor Ice Rink)~~~
Hannah parks the car, and we both look at the ice rink. I smile, knowing that there won't be any eyes watching us right now. Coach Rodgers is probably mad that I'm skipping practice right now, but I really do need a break from the NBA scouts.
I was really dumb in thinking my scout problem would go away. Instead, it's gotten worse. They're constantly watching me and trying to ask questions at any given opportunity. The only places I'm really safe are at my home, but they still try to get to me through Ellie, which isn't something I like.
We both get out of the car, and my knees pop now that they are free from the cramped car. The second thing I'm buying is a car, the first is, of course, a special gift for Ellie. Hannah must never know she's coming third in this.
She'll also get something too, albeit last on my list of priorities. We hold hands and carry our blades into the ice rink. I look around, and I notice there is barely anyone here right now. We walk over to the front desk and pay to be able to use the ice rink. While I'm not a bad ice skater, I'm not the best.
We sit on a bench and get our ice skates on. Hannah gets done before me since she doesn't have to deal with a bigfoot. Once I lace up my ice skates, I stand, and we make our way onto the ice.
We hold hands and slowly go in a circle around the massive ice rink. "Y'know... I don't like the thought of you being an NBA player so early. All these beautiful girls will be a problem." She says all that in a teasing voice, and I smile.
I'm not a cheater. I hate cheaters. They ruin love. "I mean, just imagine how many women will be wanting a slice of that cake!" She smacks my ass again, and I laugh.
Hannah is joking about all this. She's confident enough to know that there isn't a girl that'll stand up physically to the relationship we have. "I promise with my life that I'll never do anything like that, Hannah. I hate cheaters, and I'm never going to be one." She leans in closer to my side, and the height difference makes it a little weird, but nothing too big.
She smiles warmly up at me. "I'm really glad you and Ellie get along... Ellie is usually pretty protective of me when girls show interest. She says that sometimes their intentions aren't pure." Hannah gets a sly grin on her face.
I feel her hand go under my shirt and touch my abs. "Now, who said my intentions were pure too..." The way she says that causes a reaction from me, and not one I want to show in public. I have to break away from her and go to a part of the ice rink that isn't lit.
She's following close behind me, and I feel her latch onto me from the back. "You're not getting away that easily!" She's laughing as we both fall. We slide across the ice, and she ends up lying on my chest. She looks up into my eyes and sees my blush. The thing happening in my pants is getting worse.
She smiles, knowing full well the kind of reaction she's gotten from me, and I feel her hand glide down my abs from under my shirt and play with the waistband of my sweats. She stops before she goes any.
Further, she has now seen the bulge it's creating in my sweats. "You're packing an elephant trunk in there..." I can hear the intimidation in her voice, and I facepalm slightly. "No wonder you were running away... I knew it'd be big, but not this big..." There is no chance we'll be doing anything regarding touching in those areas now that the cat is out of the bag.
She looks back up at me with a smile and pulls her hand away from the waistband of my sweats. "I'm not ready to mess with something that big, I've never even seen a penis in person..." She blushes as she just confesses that I'm basically the first guy that's going to get to be with her in a physical way at some point. "Forget you heard that." I nod my head as she lets out a growl. I'm in no mood to be dominant right now. Not when she's so close to the thing that can really cause pain if hurt. And women know that it's a place to go if you want to cause pain.
