A Drunken Crash Out
Kodi
It took three drinks, but I was feeling better. I still had a job, I had a hot soccer player boyfriend who loved me, and he was also still employed.
The whole situation ended a lot better than it could have.
I just had to live with the fact that I’d never get my dream job with my favorite team beside my hot new boyfriend.
Getting to call Olli my boyfriend was nice, though.
“All right, no more drinking,” Olli said, taking my drink out of my hands.
“What? Why?” I shouted, trying to grab my glass back.
“Because you’re clearly talking out loud without realizing it.” Cheeks red, he downed my drink and set the glass aside.
“I was?” I went red too, turning to Brooker on my other side. “What I’d say?”
“You bemoaned everything that happened and called Kean your hot, new boyfriend.” Brooker shrugged. “I think he’s happy about it, though, so I don’t know why he’s cutting you off.”
“Because I don’t want her to have a hangover tomorrow. And you should stop now, too. You have to play.”
“No, no, no. We’re not stopping until we figure out how to prove Hansen wrong,” Brooker argued.
“Christenson,” Olli whined to the man on his right, but the captain had his head on the table, passed out.
“Did he really have that many?”
“No.” Taylor shook his head across from us. “I think he’s stress napping.”
“Let’s poll the fans,” Brooker said before taking out his phone and starting an Instagram live.
“Brooker,” I groaned. “You’d get a much more effective stream if you announced it beforehand. Even an hour’s notice helps.”
“Hey, everybody,” he slurred ever so slightly. “We’re here in Houston.”
“Charlotte,” Taylor corrected.
“And I wanted to introduce my new PA, Kodi. She used to be Kean’s PA, but he fell in love with her so now she’s stuck with me.” Brooker leaned over and wrapped an arm around my neck. I groaned and shoved at him like an annoying younger brother.
“Don’t air out our private lives,” Olli shouted, leaning over me to try and grab the phone.
“Quit it, Kean.” Brooker slapped at him and sat back up. “Anyways, they were childhood friends and she didn’t recognize him at first because I guess the whole beard and grumpy face thing.”
“Brooker!” I shouted this time.
“What? It’s super romantic.”
“No, it’s embarrassing I didn’t recognize him.”
“No, no, no. Look!” He held the screen up to my face,waytoo close, for me to see the comments. A lot of them were just rows of emojis or women asking Brooker to take off his shirt, but there were a handful of comments about loving Olli and my story and wishing us well.
“Okay, thank y’all.” I handed the phone back to Brooker. “But I’m not in the mood to celebrate my relationship with the super hottie right now. Even if he has thighs I wanna bite.”
“What?” Olli said, an eyebrow raised. “That’s it, I’m getting you some food.”
“See, Kodi wanted to be the team’s social media manager, but because these two got in trouble for dating, it’s a no-go.”
