“What are you doing here so early?” Cheyenne asks as she walks through the front door.

“What am I doing?” I ask, confused. “I am scheduled to work. What are you doing here? You should be heading to your appointment.” This is why I agreed to pick up her opening shift.

“I was just stopping by to grab my wallet. I left it in the office last night. Why are you here so early? The bar doesn’t open for another hour.” Cheyenne verifies the time on her watch.

“I left when the team did this morning.” I say as I get the tray set up for the cash register.

Ryan and I actually left ten minutes after the team, but we bypassed them on the highway. We were both surprised that he was allowed to ride home with me. I think he threw the word ‘girlfriend’ around a lot and everyone was so shocked they just agreed.

“Uh huh so how was it?” Cheyenne asks from the office.

“You watched the games. It was intense and fun.” I reply nonchalantly.

“Yeah and I also saw Ryan uncharacteristically get into fights for the littlest shit and was benched for the first time ever.” Cheyenne stands in front of me with her hand on her hip with a mothering look demanding to know the full story.

“Umm yeah that was a bad game.” I deadpan.

“So?” Cheyenne sits on a stool waiting for the real answer.

“We fought. Well it wasn’t as much as a fight as it was a misunderstanding, but clearly we communicated and talked things out and we won the game last night.” I only give her part of the story knowing it will agitate her.

“That’s good. I’m glad.” She stands up and heads to the door.

I am shocked to see her not questioning me further.

She pauses with her hand on the door handle. “You should read the article in the paper. I left it on my desk; I am planning on getting it framed. There are some great pictures of the two of you in there. I’m happy you are happy but if he fucks it up, I’ll beat the shit out of him.” Cheyenne grins as she walks out of the bar.

Article? What article?

I finish the cash register and run to the office. Sure enough, on the front page there is a huge article titled ‘Sorry ladies, Ryan Davis is taken!’ with several pictures of the two of us underneath.

I quickly skim the article noting they already know who I am and where I work. My heart pounds out of my chest as I realize my parents do not know and will probably find out from the tabloids.

I grab my phone and dial their house number, putting it on speakerphone so I can still work.

“Hey, my favorite daughter how are things?” My mom enthusiastically answers the phone.

“I’m assuming you already saw?” I groan, feeling like the worst daughter ever.

“Sure did, honey.” My dad yells from somewhere far from the phone.

“I’m so sorry. I should have told you guys sooner, but we just became official.
