Nicole opened the door to reveal Saul. I knew this because of his voice. "Hey Nicole what's up?" They hugged. "Nothing much how've you been?" "Good couldn't be better I'm super hyped for my match this weekend " "that's nice so I'm guessing you're here to see Jamie?" He laughed. "You are correct" "okay well, JAMIE YOUR MAN IS AT THE DOOR!"
"Shut up Nicole I'm right here" and then I whispered in her ear "and he is not my man" "uhuh, yet" and left to her room. "Hey so I wanted to thank you for the hotel that was a very nice gesture of you" "no problem I invited you so I payed, I got you once again" "Oh my gosh you did well hopefully it won't happen a third time!"
"You sure about that?" "Yes" "okay misses sure" he did air quotes. "but anyways I wanted to ask you if wanted to maybe go out to dinner, I really want to have a decent dining experience that won't end up in tears?"
"Uh yeah sure why not let me grab my purse" He whispered to himself "you won't need it" all I heard was a mumble "what was that?" "Oh nothing just admiring that painting over there, looks amazing" "okay?" I gave him a weird look.
Once we got outside of the hotel paparazzi and fans were crowding us well mostly him asking about the fight. I ignored it and tried to find my way through the crowd which was hard.
I almost fell at one point because someone stuck out their foot and tried to trip me. Some people aren't necessarily nice to new people when they know their hanging out with their favorite celebrity. Luckily Saul turned around to see how I was and he clearly saw that I was struggling to get through the crowd so he held my hand. Which would probably send everyone into a frenzy but at the time I didn't care.
We finally got to the black escalade and on our way to the restaurant that he chose. When we got their he made sure to get extra security since too many people got in our way at the MGM Grand.
We ate dinner and went back to the hotel. "That was fun and delicious" "yeah it was, so I have a press conference tomorrow at 1pm be there for support, maybe?"
"yeah no problem me AND Nicole will be there" "Why the emphasis on the and part?" "Because she has to, you paid for the jet and hotel so the least she can do is show up at the conference for support" "it's okay if she doesn't want to be there, I don't want a mad Nicole there although it would be funny" "it would be huh?"
"Anyways it's getting kind of late and I know you must be tired so I'll let you go and get some rest" "yes I kinda am, sorry, but I'll see you tomorrow" "it's fine don't worry about and I can't wait" We exchanged hugs and goodbyes and with that he left. I entered the room to reveal Nicole on the couch with a whole feast layed out in front of her.
She was eating some pizza when she stuck out her hand and offered me some of her bitten slice "want some?" "No thanks I am stuffed" I said while dropping my purse on the floor and plopping myself on the couch.
"Suit yourself" she said while eating a chicken leg. "Girl you know you're going to put on like a 1000 pounds eating all of that" "oh who cares I'm young and can burn it off at the gym"
"Anyways so tomorrow were going to support Saul at his press conference so we need to get up early to go to an art supply store and buy some poster boards and markers."
"Okay sounds fun" "yay I'm glad you're coming well I'm going to sleep now, and you should to!" "don't tell me what to do MOM!" I just laughed. I changed into my pajamas and went straight to bed. I fell asleep almost immediately.
The next morning I woke up early. As I was looking at the menu deciding on what to order for breakfast, I heard a knock at the door. I opened it and it was a man with a cart.
"Goodmorning Ms.. Blackwell I'm here to give you your breakfast" " but sir I didn't order any yet" "somebody did and they gave me this" he handed me a little card. "Thank you who is it from?" "Have a nice day Ms. Blackwell" and he left without telling me who it was from.
The little card had a poem inside that read.
"I know you've been through a lot
And that it has been hard
So here's a breakfast for you
And for who you are"
-Saul
PS lift the the cloth up from the cart and turn this card around" I lifted the cloth from the cart to reveal roses my favorite flowers.
"Here's 21 roses representing all of those years of being strong"
I was already teary eyed at this point. This was just so sweet. Nicole came out of her room. "Ooh smells good what's for break- Jamie what's wrong?" "Sorry it's nothing just read this" she read the card. "aww Jamie this is really cute!" "I know that's why I'm teary eyed and well now I'm crying" "aww Jamie baby girl"
"I'm sorry okay so do wanna go to the supply store now?" "Yeah let's go" we got dressed and headed down the hallway. When we got to the lobby I saw one of Saul's pop up stores and decided to buy 2 shirts, one for me and one for Nicole.
I thought the shirts and the posters were going to be a great touch to the support we were going to give him today. Once we bought the markers and poster boards we went back to the hotel and got creative. We changed into our shirts and headed down to the press conference being held here at the MGM Grand.
When we got to the conference room we were recognized by security and taken to our reserved seats at front. We waited for Saul to come out with his opponent. I texted him while we were waiting.
Jamie: how are you? Are you nervous at all?
Saul: feeling great, and not at all as long as you're here for support than I'm good
Their was no time for me to reply because he and his opponent were finally coming out to take their seats. Me and Nicole stood up with our posters and proudly showed off our shirts. Saul waved at us and smiled real big. He was the first up to the podium to give his speech.
All of his fans cheered and roared as he said things that his fans liked to hear. Me and Nicole were waving our signs. It made Saul laugh a little I guessed we looked silly but who cares. After the opponents boring speech it was time for Saul to sign a few things and take a few pictures with fans. Me and Nicole waited for the people to get their time with him before approaching.
After all that we went to congratulate him for his speech and wish him good luck for tomorrow. He gave us compliments on our shirts and signs. "Let's go out and celebrate me, you and Nicole and the rest of my entourage?"
"Sure why not?" "let's do it" We went out to a Mexican restaurant everyone had drinks except me and Saul. He couldn't have any before his match and I just didn't want any. I wasn't really in the mood to drink. I turned to Saul to talk.
"So the energy at the conference was crazy, I can only imagine what it's going to be like tomorrow,"
"Yeah it gets pretty hype, I love the feeling of my adrenaline pumping through my body, the rush I get right before I get into it" he smiled.
"I love seeing how passionate you are about your sport"
"Oh yeah? Why is that?"
"I don't know it's just very intriguing to me and it makes me happy for you"
"Aww thank you"
I smiled and took a sip of my water. While we were there we talked some more and made the best of our time being there together. Since tomorrow was going to be one for the books.
