“I’m not sure whether I like this place yet or not,” Violet said as we walked into Sunny DD. It was a sports bar that opened for the sole purpose of catering to the Orlando Sun players and fans. “If it wasn’t for the fact that Delaney, the owner of the place, was a sweetheart I think I would boycott this entire place.”

“Really? I’ve only been here once before but Roman asked me to meet him up here.”

“Oh, you’ll see what I’m talking about. Wait until Mindy gets here, she does the best impersonation. Just wait.” Violet waved the whole thing off as she opened the door.

We walked in and the place was a buzz, those here strictly for football could choose the Red Zone located directly in front of ten big screen monitors. The center of the bar was named the Gridiron and was more open to large groups of people. Finally, the Zonies where we were headed was more relaxed and included a mix of pool tables, foosball tables, and dart boards. Rich wood adorned the walls and sported a wide array of football memorabilia.

“We’re crowded tonight, it will be about a two-hour wait,” one of the waitresses said to us as she walked by.

“Thanks, Deena, then lucky for us we’re with the Flintstone party,” Violet said and Deena’s face went from smug to nasty. “See what I mean?” Violet asked.

The team always chooses random names to make reservations under, that way people couldn’t call around and figure out where they were. “What the fuck is this all about?” I asked in regard to Deena’s behavior.

“You see Deena is what we like to call a wannabe-top-tier meaning she wants to catch the eye of some rich ball player and become his wife so she can spend his money and do nothing else.”

“But why does she hate us?” I was confused.

“She hates us because we work closely with them and they respect us. She’s going to despise you when she sees the way Roman looks at you.”

We headed to an area where there were several tables cordoned off. I plopped down at the first one I came to.

Before I knew it we were joined by Harper, the head of the Sun’s PR department, Mindy who led the advertising department, and Cami Martinez, who looked like she belonged more as a friend of Deena’s than Violet’s.

“Cami is the head coach for the cheerleaders. I think she started two weeks ago, same day as you, Avery,” Violet said, making the introductions.

“It’s nice to see our girl group growing,” Mindy commented. “Sometimes Georgia joins us, she’s a sportscaster. And believe it or not if we aren’t going somewhere that the players will be Natalie comes as well.”

“What do we have to do to get some drinks, no one has been around,” Cami interrupted us. She had one of those larger than life personalities.

“Deena,” Violet and I both said in unison.

“She must be our waitress,” I continued.

“Who the fuck is Deena?”

“Wannabe-top-tier,” Violet answered and everyone else at the table all replied with an “Ahhh.
