Randall
I entered the busy bar with my teammates two minutes ago and already
there’s a pair of brunettes walking over, ready to pounce.
“Randall Haughland, oh my gawd, you were amazing tonight,” one of
them says while pressing her boobs against my arm.
“What a win! Can we get a picture with you?” the other girl asks, her
phone out and her teeth bared.
She takes a selfie without waiting for an answer.
Story of my life right there.
My name and face are posted all over social media, but the hockey part
is a little fuzzy.
Yes, I’m Randall Haughland.
No, I’m not the goalie who was amazing tonight.
I didn’t even play, unless you count being the padded target of slapshots
during practice.
You know that guy who sits apart from other players, opening the door
and encouraging the team? The one who plays every ten games or so, when
the main goalie needs a break? The one with perfect hair, all his teeth intact,
and an unsoiled jersey? That would be me.
I’m what’s called the second goalie.
The backup.
The spare.
Call me what you want, but my name is on that Stanley Cup when we
win it at the end of the season.
It works for me. I like my teeth.
There’s a push from behind, which propels me toward the reserved table
at the back of the bar.
“See you around,” I say to the girls, ready for a seat and a drink.
“Excuse me, this table is reserved. You’re going to have to move,” one
of the servers tells a woman whose ass is leaning on our table. She looks to
have spilled over from the large group occupying the table beside it.
“We’re willing to share,” my teammate Connor says to the server, but
he’s looking right at the table tresspasser being shooed away.
So am I.
The woman is wearing an orange t-shirt with paint stains and jeans that
are the true picture of distressed: ripped, stained, and rolled up at the bottom
and the top. They are so ill-fitting, they probably belong to someone else.
It’s the kind of outfit that would make most people look like they stumbled
out of bed and their bed was a dumpster. But with a face like that, it comes
across as a joke. A funny attempt to make the wearer look ugly and
ridiculous.
It didn’t work, because this woman is fucking gorgeous.
Not in a sexy, polished way.
Not like a hot celebrity or a beauty queen.
But like the prettiest girl in the neighborhood who everyone secretly had
a crush on.
Her hair is black and wavy. Arched brows match the thickness of her
lashes. She’s Asian, her eyes amber brown and shaped like delicate
crescents. Her lips are a tad wide for a somewhat narrow face. They’re
shaped perfectly, though—the bow at the top of her lip is so defined it could
have been drawn.
