Loving him, Love her

News reports and missing shirts

Janell...
"I can't believe we won that game! It came down to the wire, and when Ryan ran in the football for the winning touch down I thought I was going to jump out of my seat!"

Listening to Mel go on about the game made me happy that I invited her. I knew she liked football, but the girl knew everything about the sport, at one point I thought we were going to get put out because Mel was going off on one of the refs towards the end of the game. We had great seats near the 50 yard line. I had no idea which number was Ryan's , but just like the girls said he was playing quarterback so it was easy to find him.

"Hey Janell! Wait up a second."

Looking over my shoulder I see Ryan coming up along side of me wiping his face. We were walking towards the field exit. According to Mel these were the best seats in the house. I guess she was right, we could see everything and hear everything. Not once did I see Ryan during the game so I was surprised he saw me now.

"Hey Janell, I'm so glad you came. I saw you when you took your seats. Heck I thought your friend was going to get put out I could see you both from where I was standing..."

"Excuse me! Ryan, why did you run the ball instead of throwing it to your wide receiver!"

Looking around we were now circled with a group of reports yelling questions and taking pictures. I almost got knocked down and Ryan grabbed me and pulled me close to him before I could fall.

"Do you think this is your year to take the team all the way...."

"Over here Ryan, is that your girlfriend!"

"Can we get a statement."

The questions were coming one after the other and the crowd kept getting larger with more people coming onto the field and more reports coming towards us. I could no longer see Melanie, she was so short and the crowd was growing larger by the second. I hold on the Ryan for dear life.

"I will answer questions one at a time, please calm down." Ryan said with such command that the reports calmed down, but only slightly.

"I ran the ball in because I was forced out of the pocket and when I couldn't find Drew or Bear I was forced to run the ball or get sacked so of course I choose to run the ball. Liam and Cal gave me an opening, and it worked in our favor. As far as going all the way, I think we have a great offense and and our wide receivers are catching everything I throw and our defense is stopping every one in there tracks, so yeah I think we could go all the way. We have a great team, we play and work as a unit so we have what it takes. And no Mr. Conner this lovely lady is not my girlfriend, I'm not that lucky. That's all for the questions, thanks,n have a good night."

I feel Ryan tug on my hand and two big guys with bright yellow jackets come and escort us out of the crowd. Scared that I would loose Ryan like I did Mel I cling to Ryan as we head in the football tunnel. Stopping abruptly Ryan looks at me and smile.

"Thanks for coming." He leans down and kiss my forehead, and I'm shocked. " Hey were is your friend." Looking at him I realized that he's talking to me.

"Hum, what?

"Your friend, where is she."

"I don't know she was right beside me then when the reporters and people came she got lost. Wait I hear my phone."

"Mel? Where are you? At the car. Well were is that? Section P row 9."

"Give me the phone." Ryan say as he hold his hand out.

"Hey Mel, this is Ryan your on the front side of the stadium. Come to the right of the field past the Physics building and you will see the back of the stadium gate, a guard is there I will give security your name and they will let you in. It's going to take about 30 to 45 minutes or so with all the traffic. Just call Janell and we will meet you."
