BELLA

“This is insane!” I say to Twyla as we watch the Blizzard defense run out onto the field. The fans are screaming at the top of their lungs, hoping the guys can make a stop here in order to win the game. My dad and brother are huge football fans, so I understand the rules enough to make sense of things. Although, I made a list in my notes app to ask Maverick later on. Honestly, why do they run it up the middle so much when it hardly ever works? And why does the term ‘strip sack’ sound so dirty?

The crowd gets even louder, booing the refs as they call a complete pass when the receiver’s foot was definitely out of bounds. “Booooooo!” I yell with my hands cupped around my mouth. It’s just Twyla and me in the suite, and the glass windows make it impossible to hear me, but I don’t care. Mav knows where I am.

Thankfully, the call is overturned, giving the defense another chance to make the stop. It’s fourth down and there are fifteen seconds left in the game. Tennessee needs eight yards for a first down. The ball is snapped, and Maverick moves quickly, rolling off the blocker. Nothing stands between him and the quarterback, who never sees him coming as he makes the sack. I go nuts, jumping up and down while screaming into the empty room. I’m so proud of him.

Mav pops up, looks directly at me, and points. Well, these panties are going in the trash. Just as Twyla planned, the cameras pan to me, broadcasting my face on the Jumbotron and probably televisions across the country. Looking down at him, I wave before blowing him a kiss.

“That was perfect,” Twyla says quietly as the offense takes the field, kneeling to run the final seconds off the clock. She turns to me. “So, we have a small change of plans.” I listen intently as she continues. “We weren’t expecting the fans to be so interested in you making an appearance here today, but they are. Some managed to slip past security earlier. We got them out, but we feel that it’s unsafe to have you moving around the stadium right now. Maverick is going to go do his post-game stuff, take a shower, and then he’ll come up here. Meanwhile, I’ll get a few reporters that I trust to take photos of the two of you leaving.”

It’s always scary when people get past security, but it’s not nearly as uncommon as I wish it was. I’m sure Carlo and his team are refusing to put me in danger, so we’ll have to make things work up here.

“Okay,” I tell her.

She gives me a thumbs up. “I’m going to go wrangle some paps. I don't know how long it'll take me, so make yourself comfortable in here. Maverick and I are the only ones who are allowed past security, so you won't have to worry about anybody else getting in here. I'll be back as soon as I can.
