Trivial Pursuits (Chicago On Ice Book 2) Read Online Free PDF

acting like an episode from Veronica Mars? Keeping Landy a secret? That’s stupid.
    I need to tell Aubrey. That’s the adult thing to do. I’ll tell her I’m going to hang out with Landy, and while I know she has concerns, I know what I’m doing.
    Landy’s only into hook ups.
    And trivia matches.
    So why does my heart sting a little bit at the fact that he sees me as a person to play Trivial Pursuit with and nothing more?
    I blink. Did I think that? No, my heart wants no involvement like that. None. Zip. Nada.
    And to prove it, and what a mature woman I am, I pick up my phone and text Aubrey:
    You aren’t going to believe this. Landy volunteers at the same school that I do. He was here today. We’ve also been playing each other in TriviaPlayOrPass! and didn’t know it. Weird, right? Anyway, going over to his house tonight for sushi and a game of Trivial Pursuit. Send me winning vibes.
    Then I hit ‘send.’
    Okay. Mature, adult conversation with my equally adult best friend.
    And within two seconds, my ringtone is blaring. I wince, seeing that it’s Aubrey, and man up to take the call.
    “Hello?” I say, flopping backward onto my bed.
    “Livy! Are you serious? ” Aubrey cries. “You’re 100 percent not kidding about the text you sent me?”
    I decide to cut her off before she starts lecturing me about what an idiot I am.
    “Listen, I know he’s Landy Holder, the sexiest guy on the Chicago Buffaloes—”
    “Second,” Aubrey interjects. “He’s the second sexiest player after my boyfriend.”
    I smile. While I think Beckett Riley is gorgeous, he’s not as hot as Landy. No, Landy has the whole dangerous sexy vibe going on with his longish dark hair and piercing blue eyes and tattoo sleeves—
    Whatever. Not that it matters, right?
    “Anyway,” I continue, “I’m not kidding. I’ve been playing Landy for weeks on TriviaPlayOrPass! and had no clue. Then I show up for my art class, and he comes in and all the kids know him. Apparently he volunteers at the same school.”
    “That is insane, ” Aubrey declares. “What are the odds of this? Like .0001?”
    “I know,” I admit. “Crazy odds.”
    Or fate?
    I clear my throat, dismissing that thought that my romantic heart has interjected into the conversation.
    “But we’re both trivia fans, and he’s invited me over for dinner and Trivial Pursuit tonight,” I say. “And I know you’re going to go mental on me and send me warning emojis and tell me I’m heading down a dangerous path with no good outcome. But this is simply for trivia. Landy won’t make a move on me, Aubrey. I made it clear I’m not a hook up kind of girl. This is only a game of Trivial Pursuit.”
    I pause, waiting for Aubrey to go off on the dangers of Landy Holder, that this is his excuse to get me to his place. That I’ll be unable to resist his charms and end up sleeping with him. And by the next morning I’ll be picking up my broken heart along with my bra off his bedroom floor.
    “Sounds like a lot of fun,” Aubrey says. “Who knew Landy would be a trivia geek? And he’s a sushi connoisseur, so your dinner will be fantastic tonight.”
    What? I’m so stunned by her response I can’t even formulate a reply.
    “Wait a second,” I say slowly, “why aren’t you telling me to stay away from Landy? Shouldn’t you be telling me to stay home? Or wear a strand of garlic around my neck to ward him off?”
    “Um, unless Landy is a vampire, which would be interesting to say the least, garlic will do no good,” Aubrey teases. “It will only make you stink and negate your perfume.”
    “Aubrey, are you okay?” I ask.
    “I’m fantastic,” she says. “I’m trying to figure out how my furniture will fit in the new house.”
    While I’m super excited that she and Beckett are buying this awesome house in Wisconsin to spend their summers at, I need to understand the sudden change of heart over Landy rather than discuss where to hang her art.
    “Why are you not
