It’s couples' skating night down at the local rink and Elena
Armstrong can’t seem to keep her cocky jock blind date around long enough to
knee him in the balls. Sadly, she was too much of a cheapskate to pay for a
membership to an online dating site and based everything on Leonard’s
personality profile alone. Big mistake.
At the opposite end of the rink, Ben Kessel, another
cheapskate on a blind date with Iris, the ice princess, is having a similarly
miserable time. Elena, a hater of all things sports-related, inches out into
the skating world butt-first and collides with Ben. After sharing their
hilarious and horrifying dates-gone-wrong stories, the two disappear and make
everything right again on the floor in the players’ dressing room. Almost
everything. They forget to exchange numbers. Now these two cheapskates need to
make the ultimate sacrifice: pay for a membership to the online dating site so
they can track each other down. But is the possibility of love really worth the
price of $24.95 per month?
And heeeeere's my six sentences!
At present, Mr.
Smooth was currently skating circles around every man, woman, and hormonal
teenager in the public rink like he was frigging Dick Button. Well, he wasn’t
getting his dick unbuttoned tonight. She was ready to pull a Tonya Harding on
the jerk.
“Hey, Elena,”
the big dope called to her on his twelfth trip around the oval, “let go of the
boards and come skate with me!” He didn’t even wait for a response, the
bastard. He could have at least paused long enough for her to tug off her skate
and whip it at his giant head.
Needless to say, the 'big dope' isn't Ben 'kiss-me' Kessel. :D Thanks for stopping by! Hope you have a wonderful day!
