I was standing outside my room, waiting for the boys to pick me up. Janny had just called my room saying they would be there in five minutes. I had finished my press release, and was all showered and freshly pampered and waiting.
Finally a blue car pulled around the corner and stopped in front of me. I saw that Janny was driving….and including him there were seven boys in the car. I recognized Bah, Pavelich, Verchota, and Buzz. There were two other boys there I hadn't met.
Verchota rolled down the window on the passenger side. Sitting next to him was Buzz and Pavelich was on the other side of Buzz, squished up against Janny.
"Jump in." Phil said.
"Where? The trunk? There are already seven of you in there." I laughed.
"Sit in the backseat, Bah, Rammer and Christian won't mind." Janny yelled over.
"Maybe, I'll just take my car and follow you guys, a few of you could even ride with me." I said.
"And waste gas, while missing the chance to be in tight quarters with a hott babe?" Verchota said sarcastically.
"Do you have to hit on her Philly?" Buzz asked.
"She doesn't have a ring on!" Verchota said.
"Just hop in….it's not that far." Janny said.
"That's what Moses told the Israelites when they left Egypt!" I mumbled and rolled my eyes.
Bah opened the back door and tried to scoot over, but there was no room to move.
"Seriously, I can just drive…." I started.
"Sit on one of their laps back there." Janny said.
"Well I don't wanna be a bother." I said.
"What bother…that'd be the most action Ramsey's had in six months, now get in!" Verchota said.
I started to climb in, it was tight quarters. One of the boys I didn't recognize took my arm and helped pull me in over Bah as he shut the door behind me. I finally settled sitting half on Bah and half on the boy holding my arm.
"Remind me again why we all had to pile in one vehicle?" I asked.
"It was Janny's idea." Pavelich said.
"I don't see what you're complaining about, it's only a few blocks and we all used deodorant." Janny said pulling out of the parking lot.
"Hi, I don't think we've met." I said to the boy I was half sitting on.
"Mike Ramsey." He said.
"Hi Mike, I'm Kylah." I said.
"Yeah, Mike was a stray we picked up back at the hotel." Verchota said. "The other stray back there is Dave Christian."
I smiled at Christian. He had the cutest hair I had ever seen. It was so curly that I had an urge to rub his head like a teddy bear.
Suddenly Janny slammed on the brakes and we all lurched forward. I grabbed Bah's knees to steady myself. Christian grabbed the back of Janny's seat. Buzz threw his arm over Verchota's chest to help hold him back.
"Everyone okay?" Janny asked.
We all nodded that we were alright and looked at each other.
"My nipples….Buzzy touched my nipples." Verchota started screeching in a playful voice as Janny started driving again.
"I did not; I was just trying to keep you from getting hurt!" Buzz rolled his eyes.
"What the hell did you stop like that for?" Ramsey asked.
"A cat ran across the road in front of me." Janny explained.
"You should've just run over the damn thing." Verchota said. I slapped him on the back of the head. "Ow, she hit me!"
"Good for her!" Buzzy said.
"You deserved it, wanting him to hit a defenseless little kitty. What kind of monster are you?" I said.
"I don't like cats…..but I love pussy!" Verchota said with a smile.
"That's attractive!" I rolled my eyes and pretended to gag.
"Verchota, you asshole, we do have a lady in the car!" Janny said exasperated.
"It was a joke." Verchota said.
"Yeah, a bad one." I said with sarcasm.
"Ignore him Kylah; he doesn't know how to act sometimes." Buzz said.
"Oh it's fine. I'm used to guys and nothing shocks me!" I said.
"I'm driving us back to the hotel later!" Verchota said.
"But it's my car." Janny said.
"But you drive like a woman!" Verchota said.
I slapped him on the back of the head again.
"She hit me again." Verchota said.
"There is nothing wrong with how I drive. I may not be Richard Petty, but I've never been in an accident!" I said.
"Keep hitting him. Maybe you'll knock some sense into him." Ramsey said.
Finally Janny pulled up in front of a small bar. I wondered how we were going to get out of the car. Bah must have been reading my thoughts.
"I'd think it'd be easiest, if I slid out from under Kylah, then she can get out without climbing over me." Bah said.
Bah opened the door and worked his way out of the car, which was no small feat considering he had long legs. He then helped me out of the car.
"One of us should be a designated driver." I said as we walked in the bar.
"Ramsey volunteered before we came." Christian told me.
We sat down at a table for 6 and dragged a few more chairs up so that we could all sit together.
"Alright we all want beer, what does the lady want?" Verchota asked me.
"Beer will be fine." I told him.
"Really? No fancy drinks?" Verchota asked.
"Trust me beer is fine." I assured him.
"Guess where you come from you're used to moonshine!" Janny said.
"My pappy ran enough of it in his day. He was a ridge runner….revenue agents moved in. Now my uncles have taken over the family shine business." I told him.
"I never met a real country person before." Bah said.
"Well let me assure you…I've never dated one of my relatives." I said and winked.
"Might as well start these tests." Bah said and pulled his out of his back pocket.
"Herb and these tests." Buzz said pulling his out as well. "I hate these things."
The boys all began pulling out their tests and grumbling about them.
"I don't understand what a psychology test has to do with playing hockey." I said.
"Maybe Herb is trying to weed out the crazies." Christian said.
"Sorry Bah, they'll find out about you." Pavelich said.
"Real funny Mark." Bah said and shook his head.
"Like this question here about being pulled over for speeding…" Buzz said pointing at his test.
"Usually crying, apologizing and showing cleavage works for me." I said and took s drink of my beer.
"I knew I should've gone to the police academy." Bah joked.
"That's no fair; women can get out of tickets so easily." Janny said.
"Well if you get a female officer, flirt with her!" I said.
"Yeah because butch female cops are so sexy!" Janny rolled his eyes.
"I didn't say you had to marry them, I said flirt with them!" I told him.
I noticed some of the other boys from the team had come into the bar and was seated together across the room. I recognized Dave Silk that I had met earlier. While I was looking at them, Blue Oyster Cult started playing in the bar. I sat quietly as the boys worked on their tests.
Two other boys that had made the team approached our table. One a blonde that had a shy, quiet and sexy quality about him. The other dark hair, dark eyes and he could've been in a toothpaste commercial with Buzz. Maybe dark hair and eyes with pretty smiles was a Minnesota trait, since that's where a lot of the boys were from.
"Hey everyone, how's it going?" the dark haired boy said.
"Nice of you to join us Mac." Verchota said.
"Wouldn't miss a good party. I even talked Johnson into joining us." Mac said.
I deduced that Johnson must be the blonde. He and Mac pulled up chairs.
"You finish this test yet?" Janny asked the newcomers.
"Awhile ago. That's what took me so long to get here." Mac said.
"Whatta ya say we crank this party into high gear?" Verchota asked.
"Phil, we're not driving downtown to yell out the window at hookers!" Buzz said.
"I didn't mean do that. I meant we should down some shots!" Verchota said.
"Why is it every time there is a party, you want to start a shot drinking contest?" Ramsey asked.
"He lives in a sad delusion that that impresses women!" Janny said, rolling his eyes.
"I'm sure Kylah doesn't want to see you drink yourself silly!" Bah said.
"Especially considering I could drink him under the table!" I said.
The guys chuckled.
"Sounds like a challenge to me!" Mac said. "By the way, who are you?"
"I've introduced myself today so many times, that I am going to just tattoo my name to head." I laughed.
"That's Kylah Jenkins, she our PR person." Ramsey told Mac.
"Listen babe," Phil started and put his arm around me. "I am one of the best shot drinkers in Minnesota. No one has beaten me in two months, especially not a girl!"
"Listen Phil," I said and pushed his arm off me. "Anytime you wanna see who the better drinker is, you just let me know….I'll put your head in the toilet!"
"I like her!" Mac said with a smile.
"You can't be serious." Verchota said.
"Sounds like she isn't afraid of you!" Ramsey said.
"Fine, since we're traveling tomorrow, I'll spare you the hangover. We get moved in at the U, we're having a drink-off." Verchota said.
"I'll be there." I said.
"Kylah, have you done much drinking?" Johnson asked, looking unsure.
"Are you kidding? Where I am from everyone's best friends are Jim and Jack!" I said, with a wink.
"Huh?" Janny asked.
"Jim Beam and Jack Daniels!" I said.
"Kylah, will we see a lot of you once we get to Minnesota?" Mac asked.
"Yeah, I'll be staying at the University with you. I'll be at mot practices, all games and publicity events." I said.
"How about when we get to Minneapolis, we all go see a movie or something?" Christian asked.
"Fine with me." I said.
"Will you be my date for that too?" Verchota asked.
"What am I? Your unofficial date for every event we go to?" I asked.
"Sure why not? You're hott, I'm a sex god…it was meant to be!" Phil said and put his arm around me again.
"I also get the feeling my shoe and your ass are destined for each other." I said mockingly sweet and shoved his arm off my shoulder.
"Kylah, do you have a boyfriend somewhere that is going to come beat up on Philly for annoying you?" Johnson asked.
"No, but I live close to an Indian reservation. Maybe I can get them to put a curse on him!" I joked.
"She's got a great sense of humor…Kylah; I'm stealing you away from Verchota." Mac said.
"Please do!" I laughed and scooted closer to him.
"Mind if we join you?" we heard. I looked up and saw three of the boys that had been sitting across the room from us, Silk was one of them.
"Sure Rizzo." Mac said.
We scooted and made room for the three new guys. Silk was pretty drunk. The other had a moustache and a friendly face. The one Mac called Rizzo was very cute and could've joined Mac and Buzz in the toothpaste commercial. Maybe I should've gone into advertising.
"What's going on over here?" Rizzo asked.
"Finishing these tests, listening to Philly strike out." Ramsey answered.
"We worked on our tests too." Rizzo said. "Coxie finished pretty quick."
"Rizzo, that's her." Silk said pointing to me. "She's the one with the accent."
Rizzo rolled his eyes. "Ignore Silky, he likes getting drunk every now and then." Rizzo said.
"That's okay. I'm Kylah by the way." I said.
"We saw you at try-outs today. Actually one of our friends was checking you out." Rizzo said.
I smiled. "Thank him for me!"
"Doesn't that accent go straight to your cock…that's the sexiest damn thing." Silky said to Coxie.
I chuckled.
"Silky, be quiet…you talk too much when drunk." Rizzo said.
"Oh it's alright." I said and reached across the table and took Silk's hand. "If you really like my accent, you come find me when your sober darlin."
"He doesn't remember what he does while drunk. Which has come in handy a few times." Rizzo said.
"We should all get out of here and do something!" Bah said.
"Wouldn't that mean 8 of us cramming in Janny's car again?" Ramsey asked.
"We'll take a few of you with us." Rizzo said.
"I get to ride with Kylah." Verchota said.
"I'm Mac's date now!" I said with a smile.
"Yeah, leave my date alone!" Mac joked and put an arm around me.
"What do we wanna do?" Cox asked.
"Bowling!" Silky yelled.
"Not a bad idea even if he is drunk." Pavelich said.
"I'm not that great at bowling." I said.
"Don't worry. You'll bowl better than Silk." Buzz said.
I laughed in agreement. "Alright, let's go."
"I think there's an all night alley around here somewhere." Cox said as we stood up.
I started to walk out to the parking lot.
"If you can't bowl that well, I'll help you." Bah said walking next to me. "I am decent at it. I go a lot with my younger brother."
"Thanks, I haven't even tried bowling in a long time." I said.
"Christian and Pavelich are riding with Rizzo." Ramsey said as we all started piling in Janny's car. This time I ended up between Bah and Buzz in the backseat.
"No stopping if a cat runs in the road." Verchota said as we pulled out of the parking lot.
"I'll hit you again!" I told him.
"Seven months of putting up with her!" Verchota groaned.
