gold rush ☆ brock purdy

fifteen ✬

*flashback*

november 21st came by so fast, days before i left i had just been admiring and appreciating the city of los angeles. on my last day, it was my last laker game as an employee but i wasn't working, they had let me sit courtside with brock.

brock had spent that entire day with me, i went to go say goodbye to friends and my family. we went to the game and had so much fun at the game. i got to hug and say goodbye to all the players, i'd be missing them for sure. after the game, we'd drive to san francisco. it wasn't too late, the game ended at 4 p.m.

the entire car ride, i just knew this all felt so right. being with brock, choosing to be with brock just felt so right.

it had took me about one week to fully settle in, kristin couldn't have been any happier. she came every day to help me move in while the guys had practice and couldn't help me until after. my life was now in san francisco with my boyfriend.

*flashback over*

it was december 18th, and nearly a month after me leaving los angeles has went by. i had been having a blast up here in san francisco, i still had no job but i was still on the search.

the san francisco 49ers have been doing so well, we're all hoping they keep doing what they're doing to make it to the playoffs and then the super bowl. we were truly all hoping.

living with brock purdy for almost nearly a month had been great. i've always said it's the little thing he does and that sticks to this day. every day he gets out of practice he'll bring me something whether it's takeout, a coffee, or a new book that he saw that he thinks i'd love. we had our share of tiny arguments here and there but living together made communicating so easy.

nick on the other hand loved having me here, sometimes he'd bring his girlfriend over and we'd do a game or movie night.

two times a week the nfl girlfriends and wives would have brunch downtown, they've embraced me in their group. thank god everything was going so far so good.

my mom calls me every day, saying she wants to visit us. i miss my family so much, i regretted not visiting them often when i had the chance.

also, i will admit that lately claire and kristin have been acting a tad weird. in the sense that they'd want to go to bridal stores when we hang out. when i asked, kristin said she and kyle wanted to renew their vows and make it a huge celebration. i didn't question it any further.

i was at home, brock would be home anytime soon. he told me he was bringing street tacos home. in the meantime, i was watching friends until i heard the door unlock. i walked over to brock and hugged him.

i know he was only gone for eight hours but i was truly attached to this man, i miss him a lot throughout the day. we sat down by the kitchen island, he unpacked me my tacos and condiments, he knew i needed all the salsa and radishes. we began to eat, and i asked him about his day.

"it was good, we've been working hard. putting in everything we go to make it till the end. we're going to give it our all to go to that freakin super bowl," he says, i smile at him, his dedication was something i loved so much about him.

"well, i KNOW you guys got this. super bowl bound, i can already see it." i wink, and he chuckles.

he then grabs my hand, "nat, what do you think about marriage?" he randomly asks

"i don't think about marriage too often, i know i'm going to get married one day, but i choose to always prioritize my independence and personal goals. so i always chose not to think about it," i say truthfully, he puts his head down and lightly nods.

i pick his head up, "if you're talking about us, of course i'd want to marry you. i'd marry you right now if i could but there's one little issue."

"what?" he questions

"my religion is different, i grew up practicing catholicism," i say

now that i think about it, we never talked about my religion, we've only talked about it once. i've always respected his religion, i knew he was a christian and how he's always embracing his faith, it was so amazing, you don't see that often. i'd never make him change his practices at all. as long as the respect was mutual everything was perfect.

"for you, i'd marry you in a catholic church," he tells me, i felt my heart speeding up, i never thought he'd say that.

"no, i wouldn't ask you to do that. i mean, under one condition. we also get married in a christian church." i say, he smiles at me.

a part of me wondered why this marriage talk randomly came about, i didn't pay too much attention to it though. after we finished talking about it we started talking about me looking for a job.

brock was against me looking for a job, he wanted me to be job-free with no worries. but, i'm so used to staying busy so me not working was killing me. i offered kristin help with stuff she was designing, she was slowly starting to design stuff for the nba girlfriends and wives. i had no knowledge of what kristin does but she said she'd teach me.

i couldn't wait to go over to kristin and tell her about the marriage talk me and brock had, i mean, it's early right? like a little too early? i'm not exaggerating, right? i know my parents got married early but times were very different. i had to remind myself that brock wouldn't do any of that soon, he was very busy and it just wouldn't be the right timing. so i hoped.
