The Mahomes

Travis's POV: 

Practice had just ended and I am stalling packing up waiting for Pat to finish talking to the coaches so I can catch him before he heads home. After Taylor and I spoke a few days ago about telling our friends and family I suggested Patrick and Brittney since they are two of my closest friends and are already in Kansas City. Pat and Brit have always tried to be supportive of me and my relationships so I figured they would be a good place to start. 

Pat finally walks through the locker room a few minutes later looking surprised to see me still in the locker room.

"Hey man, thought you'd already be gone." He says as he packs up his bag and changes out of his practice clothes. 

"I was hoping to chat with you for a few minutes." I sink down on the bench next to Pat's locker being mindful of my wrapped knee. 

"Sure, is everything ok? You aren't retiring because of your knee right? It's just a sprain dude, I can't have you leave just because of this!" The panic starts to rise in his eyes as he is trying to already think of a solution to my 'retirement'. 

"Pat, chill. I'm not retiring, the knee is feeling good and I'll be back for week 2." I say chuckling shaking my head. He lets out a long sigh and throws himself next to me on the bench and shoves my shoulder.

"Jesus man. Don't do that to me, I swear I almost had an aneurism. If it's not the knee, whats up?" He leans forward with his elbows on his knees as he ties his shoes.

"Remember how I told you I was seeing someone a few weeks ago?" 

"Yeah, the girl who was in a different time zone and made you late for poker night." A few weeks ago when Taylor was in Mexico I had spent too long on the phone with her before her show that I was late to the boys night at Pat's. I had let it slip that I was casually seeing someone and she wasn't local, thankfully he let it drop at that because there were others around.

"That would be the one. Would you want to meet her?" I awkwardly spit out. Pat stops tying his shoe, frozen for a minute and turns his head to squint up at me.

"You want me to meet her? So I guess it's not a fling?" 

"It's most certainly not a fling, we are officially dating. We talked about telling our friends and family and I figured you and Brit would be a good place to start." 

"Must be serious if you want Brit to meet her. If you think she's ready to handle Brit's inquisition and me telling her all of the stories about you, we would love to meet her." He teases as he stands up grabbing his phone from his locker. I sling my bag over my shoulder and walk towards the door.

"I'm already regretting this. Want to come over to my place tomorrow afternoon? Like around 3:00pm?" I ask as I stand with the door propped open.

"We'll be there. Do I get any information on your mystery girl before meeting her?" He calls out. I ignore him and walk out of the building towards my car, it will be much more fun for me to watch him and Brittney realize who I am dating in person. 

Next day 2:30pm

"Am I dressed ok?" I hear as I walk in from the garage carrying a case of Coors Light.

"Huh?" I huff out as I put the case on the counter to put some in fridge inside the house as well as the one outside on the back deck near the fire pit. Taylor is standing in the kitchen wearing a black skirt and a white t-shirt paired with glittery sandals.
