delilah had become trapped at a table with three athletes arguing passionately over whether karaoke counted as "performing under pressure." which, frankly, felt deeply concerning for all professional sports involved. she took a slow sip of her margarita before finally glancing toward the person beside her, southern amusement warm in her eyes. "i need you to settle somethin' for me, sugar," she said. "is confidence attractive or can a person actually have too much of it?" she asked, head nodding toward someone yelling a nickleback song on stange.

" depends entirely on the person . " mason shrugged as he looked back at the red head , a familiar glint to his eye as he looked her up and down slowly . " on you ? give me all the confidence in the damn world . " his shrug followed before he turned over his shoulder towards the offensive renditions of one of the best songs nickleback had pulled out of the bag . " on them ? i think someone gave them a little too much faith in themselves you know ? "

soft features harshen with a furrow of brows , equal parts irritated at his snark quip in response and confused by choice of words . honestly ? the femme had no good excuse for her dislike towards mason . no reason for the scowls she gives , or the way she rolls her eyes any time they have to share the ice . at least , none that don't involve quick judgement and assumptions made . " well you were in the way " molly is quick to return , baby blues practically glaring up at him , " how was i supposed to get round you without bumping into you when you're in the way ? "

people looked at him and saw one thing . it had been his truth for as long as he could remember . adored when his temper suited them and judged the second it didn't . before now he hadn't thought to let it bother him , at least not in a deep sense but these days , since his life had been uprooted he couldn't help wondering why ? he'd never even done anything to the pretty little figured skater . " oh i don't know , you could put your big girl panties on and perhaps as me to step aside rather than run right into me and act like im the one here with a problem . "

" i thought hockey boys were supposed to be easy " the femme huffed , a blatant expression of disappointment washing over delicate features as gaze remained on the sea of bodies ahead of them , " not even one of them have tried to fuck me . is it me ? am i the problem ? "

" they haven't ? " emerson asked as she looked around the room , a puzzled look pulling at her soft features . not many of them had hit on her but that was because most of them knew her daddy signed their contracts . " trust me , the night is young and this room is full of man sluts , the time will come , they are easy , the ones that weren't wifed up in college anyway . "

grant had officially reached the point in the night where he was leaning against the bar pretending he wasn't enjoying himself while very obviously enjoying himself. somebody near the stage had just attempted whitney houston with the confidence of a man who'd never been told no in his life. the entire bar was losing its mind over it. grant laughed into his whiskey before glancing toward the person beside him. "see, this is exactly why karaoke's dangerous," he said, voice rough with amusement. "couple drinks in and suddenly everybody thinks they got a record deal."

" like fuck they do , don't be lumping me in with everybody who do you think i am ? " were it not for grant , brooks would have shown his face , nodded , thrown more cash than he needed too at the problem and slipped out of the back door . it was only his moronic best friend that had kept him rooted to his seat this long . " someone needs to take the microphone on her before we shatter the glasses in here sweet baby jesus . "

" oh , fuck ... so- " words fly out quick as she accidentally collides with the other and the glass of water in hand tumbles over them . but the apology that's almost instinctive stops when blue hues lift to put a face to the tall frame towering over her , " — you should watch where you're going . "

they'd crossed paths more than once over the last 10 months . shared ice time and all that and for the life of him mason couldn't figure out what he'd done to earn the blondes scowls . not that he cared . he didn't care about anyone not liking him . " i should ? you walked into me short stop not my bad here . "

" what i'm after don't come in no whiskey glass anyway . " mason found himself shrugging at the taunting grin that was sent his way . it was a terrible , terrible idea for him to be flirting with anyone and yet here he was doing just that anyway . " don't come on no menu either and no amount of water is going to change my mind , played hockey with more amber in me than i've had tonight so i'd say i'm pretty sound minded right now . "

" just trying to figure out if you're serving what i'm after . " he was drunk , had been maybe within 30 minutes of entering this god damn place because drunk was the only way he wasn't loosing his mind . but good choices evaded mason sober , let alone when the whiskey was kicking in . and right now , eyes up and down the pretty blonde server likely gave away every thought he had .
