Charlie and Dalton have been dating since early 2019. Dalton's going into his third season with the Savannah Bananas and only one person knows about his relationship with Charlie.
I woke up around ten and shower before getting dressed.

I picked Jayden up and we stopped at Starbucks for coffee. We got our order and sat at one of the tables.
"So, I have a proposition for you," I tell her.
She gives me a look and I laugh.
"It's nothing bad. I already talked to Dalton about it and he's on board."
"What is it," she asks, sipping her drink.
"What if you moved in with us?"
She stares at me and I can see the thought process going.
"You want me to move in with you guys?"
"Yeah, you're my best friend and the future, potential girlfriend of Dalton's best friend."
"That might be happening sooner than you think."
I nearly choke on my drink and stare at her.
"My family wants to meet him and we're going on our first official date in Vegas."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"We just talked about it last night. We decided that doing it graduation weekend would be too much with all the family meals and everything going on and the next time we see them is Vegas."
"Well, that'll be fun. What if the four of us all went out Sunday night to dinner? We don't have to consider it a double date unless you guys want to. If not, my cousin and her husband wanna get dinner with me and Dalton at some point."
"No, we can do that. I'd have to talk to Tanner about it."
"Dalton's gonna talk to him. We can discuss more when they get here tomorrow."
We finish our coffees and head to the nail salon. Jayden gets a simple rose gold and I get yellow and black.

We stop at Chipotle for lunch and head back to my place. We eat and I change into some Banana gear for the game. Dalton emailed me his flight stuff and I finished setting up one of the guest rooms for Tanner. Jayden ordered pizza for dinner and we watched the game while we ate. After the game, I took Jayden back to her dorm and I finshed cleaning the house for this weekend.
May 5, 2023
I woke up at 6:45 and was out of my house by seven after changing out of my PJs and into a loungewear set. I got to the airport around eight and Dalton texted that they had landed twenty minutes later. I was parked in the pick-up lane and I got out of my car so they could see me. They came out of the airport and Dalton hugged me tightly. We loaded their bags and drove to the house.
"So, are you ready to graduate tomorrow," Dalton asks while I pull the cinnamon rolls from the fridge.
"So ready. Jayden will be here in about twenty minutes and then we're meeting my family at about 4:15 for dinner. Jayden's gonna hang with us and then all four of us will head to the restaurant around 3:45, 3:50."
"Sounds good. I'm gonna shower around noon that way everyone has time to get into the bathroom if they need to."
I put the cinnamon rolls in the oven and set the timer. I grab two things of Celsius and slide one to Dalton.
"Ceremony starts at 11:30 tomorrow and we're doing a late lunch/early dinner type thing around three at Honky Tonk. My parents and Jay's grandfather let us pick. Did you ask Tanner about the double date?"
"Yeah, he's down for it. You ask Jay about moving in?"
"She's still thinking about it. She has until the 15th, to move out."
"At least she has time."
Jayden walks in and smiles when she sees Tanner walk into the kitchen. She runs over and hugs him tightly.
"Well, hopefully they can start dating by the end of June," I whisper.
"I hope so."
The timer goes off ten minutes later and we eat. We watch a movie and we start to get ready for the restaurant. I shower and do my hair and makeup. I get dressed and plug my phone back in for a bit.

I put my jewelry on and we leave the house around 3:45. We get to the restaurant a little after four and see my parents in the lobby.
"Hi, Mom," I say, walking in.
"Hi, sweetie. Dalton, how are you," she asks him.
"Doing good. You remember Tanner, right," he asks.
"Of course, I do. Tanner, how are you doing?"
"I'm doing good."
"Everyone else should be here shortly," my dad says.
Ten minutes later, the rest of my family arrives and we get our table.
"So, Dalton, how's the season so far," my dad asks.
"Pretty good. We started off strong and the Party Animals, along with the challenger teams, have put up some good fights."
"Are you looking forward to playing in Nashville," my mom asks.
"I'm so excited for that weekend. I'm doing a concert on the first at the First & Home Bar and that whole weekend is gonna be a blast."
"How long are you guys in town for this weekend," my Aunt Jonnie asks.
"We fly back to Savannah Tuesday morning," Tanner answers.
"Oh, this is Tanner Thomas. Dalton's best friend and roommate," I tell them.
"How's the music world," Grandma Joyce asks my fiancé.
"It's going well. I'm releasing my next song in two weeks, actually."
We continue chatting and eat, my dad and uncles talking to Tanner and Dalton about the season while the rest of us talk about other things.
"Have you guys figured out a date yet," my cousin, Lauren, asks.
"Not yet. We only know that we don't wanna do it during the season because all the traveling is gonna make it difficult to get a venue," I reply.
"That's smart. Are you thinking sometime before next season or after that season," Mom asks.
"Not sure yet. There's talk of Dalton signing a publishing deal, which could really take him places. So, that's gonna make him busier with his music if he ends up getting it."
We finish dinner and say our good-byes to everyone.
