Kip ushered Colton into the bathroom and closed the door. Five days until Mandy would marry him. Five days until all the pieces in his life had come together, finally. He'd proved his ability on the ice. And he'd gotten the girl. It had only taken fourteen years.
Five days later, he stood on the school grounds. They hadn't opted to marry in the school library, which Mandy had wanted. Thankfully it was being renovated this summer and it made it impossible. It seemed like the least romantic place to have a wedding, well besides maybe a shopping mall. The school grounds were okay. Nothing special, and it had taken some maneuvering not to have all the outside sports stuff in the pictures.
He stood there, his heart in his throat, waiting for her to come down the aisle. To Kip's left, stood Corey and Doug. He watched as the ring bearer, Colton and the flower girl, his eldest sister, Jamie's eldest daughter, ten-year-old Marie, came down the aisle first. Sophia and Maggie, the bridesmaids dressed in purple, came next. Finally, Mandy, dressed in a simple gown.
She hadn't insisted on taking the diamond back, much to his surprise. It made getting the matching wedding band easy for him.
His voice shook a little as he spoke his vows. His hands shook as he attempted to put the ring on Mandy's finger. He felt overwhelmed by good fortune as he kissed her. He picked up Colton and held him for the cameras.
Mandy leaned in and whispered to the boy. "I hope you're ready to be a big brother, Cole."
What the hell? They stared at her.
"I know it's a cliché. To have a happily ever after complete with a baby, but I did the test the day before we left."
Kip snorted. He turned to the small crowd gathered before them. "Fourteen years it took me," he shouted. "But I finally got the girl."
Everyone laughed and clapped. He let Colton to the ground and wrapped his arms around Mandy, ready to move forward with her, while he had waited for so long for his life to begin.
Everything was perfect, even if it only for this moment.
Disclaimer: This book is written with Canadian spelling and average grammar skills. I realize there are many issues with the book, and I would remove it but it is the first book in a series and it stands as a testement to the best I could do at the time.

Summer Fling: Book 2 of Up in Flames Series, starring Kip Turner's Teammate Kyle McLachlan
Kyle McLachlan heads home after winning the Stanely Cup only to find his room's been taken over by a sexy Oiler's Fan. Serena has had a crush on Ky since she started renting a room from the McLachlan's. But he's only here for a few weeks. All the time that's needed for a summer fling. Neither of them want a relationship. So why do each of them keep putting off leaving Bow Island?
Serena looked at him through her lashes. He sighed as she lifted her face. She stretched on her toes to meet him. It only took a brush of her lips before he took the lead.
He took her head into his hands. "Damn," he muttered, slanting her head to the side and crushing his mouth over hers. Serena gripped his shirt to hold him as she opened to his heated kisses. All their pent-up passions and frustrations came rushing out into that first kiss. It wasn't soft or romantic or anything she'd first hoped it to be. It was demanding and set her body on fire. She rubbed her body against his.
His tongue slipped past her open lips to clash with hers. He tasted like beer and something that could only be him.
Then, Ky dropped his hands to her stomach and rubbed her gently. "I wasn't going to touch you," he whispered into her hair. Even as he said it, his mouth was searching hers again.
She heard a door open in the hall. They separated and looked toward the sound. It was from the room Ky was staying in. And Vicki Nelson was standing there in the doorway.
Serena felt a cold chill replace the warm passion. Serena pushed away from Ky and started to move away.
