SONG: EVERYBODY; NICKI MINAJ

Today was the day.

Game Day.

Yes, Bethany had been working for the 49ers for a little while now but today felt like the official start of it. Since Adriana was a photographer she was going to be on the field with Bethany which helped put Bethany at ease knowing that she was going to have to be near Nick for the first time since... well, you know.

As Bethany and Adriana made their way onto the field the players were warming up. It was almost instinct for Bethany to try and find Brock.

Nope... not him... bingo.

Bethany knew she shouldn't be focusing on this guy but come on... who could resist? And of course he was looking fine as ever doing some push ups.

Bethany was interrupted from her thoughts by someone clearing their throat.

Adriana.

"Purdy?"

"What about him?", Bethany asked, trying (but failing miserably) to play dumb.

"You were totally just drooling over him."

"Adriana, please. You know I am here to do my job, not drool over guys that make their entire personality football and picking up girls.", Bethany stands up for herself feeling bad for saying Brock is like that.

"All of the guys except Brock... and Christian of course. I could see the guilt on your face when that sentence left your mouth."

Bethany just stood there speechless.

"It got you... didn't it?"

"What got me?"

"His smile."

Damn it.

"Ok fine. He's an attractive guy but I am truly here to do my job and work."

"If you say soooo", Adriana drags out going to set up her equipment.

"I'll send you all of the pictures I take of him.", Adriana whispers in Bethany's ear with a wink.

Bethany just laughs and goes to get her stuff ready to go.

Just focus... don't look at Brock. Unless he has the ball. Or if he's on the sidelines... STOP!

TIME SKIP >>>

The game had ended and the Niners won 27-20. A nail biter for sure but hey a win is a win.

As Bethany was closing out of her projects on her devices Adriana skipped over to her with too happy of an expression on her face.

"What did you do?", Bethany asks.

"I didn't do anything..."

"Adriana, I swear t-"

"I didn't do anything. I swear."

"Then why are you so happy?"

"Lets just say the ladies of the 49ers have invited you to go out with them?"

"Why would they want me to go out with them? It's not like I'm dating any of the players."

"Maybe one of the players wants to date you though..."

"Adriana, what are you going on about?"

"My lips are sealed."

"The one time your lips are sealed is when I need them to be the opposite?"

"You know me!", Adriana says pointing behind Bethany before skipping off in the other direction.

Bethany turns around to see all of the girlfriends and wives of different 49ers players standing in front of her.

"Hey girl! We were wondering if you wanted to come with us for coffee... we like to go after season openers.", the stunning Kristin Juszcyk tells Bethany.

"Oh- um I would love to but... why me? I'm not in a relationship with any of the players and isn't that what your group is built on?"

"Lets just say we have some news for you.", Claire Kittle says as she holds out her arm for Bethany.

Bethany is hesitant. This is giving Mean Girls. The popular girls ask the new girl to sit with them and then they pretty much ruin her life and very small reputation. But she decides to go with them anyway.

They seem nicer than Regina and Gretchin.

TIME SKIP >>>

The ladies arrive at a really cute cafè with a gorgeous view of the Bay. They all ordered a latte or cappuccino and Bethany just got a regular coffee... not decaf.

I'm gonna need energy for editing all of this footage tonight.

"So. Bethany.", Kristin starts. "First of all... welcome to the family! Also, omg your hair is so pretty."

"Thank you! It's a vegan shampoo my hairdresser gave me.", Bethany responds.

"Wait, I love that. Anyways, sorry. You're probably a little confused."

"Yea..."

"I promise this is not a rom com with bitchy school girls... we're all super nice!"

Bethany lets out a subtle sigh of relief.

"Well, as you probably know... we all have some sort of romantic relationship with a guy on the team.", Sydney Warner starts.

"I'm single.", Bethany points out.

"That might change soon...", Sydney continues, "Babe. One of the boys has his eye on you."

Bethany's heart drops and so does her face.

It's Bosa... they're going to try and set me up with Bosa.

"It's not Nick...", Claire whispers to Bethany.

God bless.

"Have you met Brock yet?", Kristin asks.

Shut up.

"Uh- no I haven't."

"Because girl... he talks about you like you're dating."

Don't choke on your saliva.

"Really? How does he even know who I am?"

"Instagram.", Kristin answers, "Kyle says that he's been talking about you nonstop."

His smile just got a whole hell of a lot prettier.

"Yea, George has been saying the same thing."

"Wow... um wow. I don't really know what to say..."

"I say...", Mahogany, Deebo Samuel's wife, starts, "for the next couple of days watch your step because that boy is about to swoop you up right off of your feet girlie."

What if I don't want to watch my step?
