One Saturday in the Fall

Chapter 2 Watching the Game

    Thomas and Brantley found a seat at the Windows so they could watch the game. Their team may be Georgia but they appreciated "smash mouth football" as Savannah had called it. 
    Brantley was watching the team warm up when they asked if he would like a drink. He told the server Mt Dew. He didn't pay attention to the panic in her eyes. Thomas told her that a beer was fine.
    The server radioed Savannah and told her the problem. Savannah told her not to worry she would bring it to her in just a few minutes. Savannah radioes Bailey and tells her she's gonna go down and get some out of the Zone and Bailey agreed.
Savannah takes it to the suite and knocks on the door. As she comes in and hands the drinks to the server Brantley turns around and sees that she has made a special trip for his drink. He smiles at her and nods his head. Savannah smiles back and then exits the room.
Thomas nudges Brantley and asks him what's up. Brantley tells him apparently they didn't have Mt Dew and instead of telling me they had Savannah go get some. Thomas said are you interested man? Cause she is pretty. Brantley looked at him and said," Are you crazy I just got rid of psycho Jana I don't do relationships. I'm just gonna be me and focus on my music."
Thomas said," if I was single I would sure ask her out, she's down home too. You could tell she was genuine when she was talking to her cousin and us."
"Whatever man, I agree she is beautiful but I swore off relationships after dealing with Jana. I'm just gonna watch some smash mouth football and enjoy a Saturday in the South." Brantley said.
The game started and Thomas and Brantley got into the game and were yelling and having a great time. At the end of the first quarter, Brantley got up and told Thomas he would be right back he needed to stretch his legs. Thomas nodded and grinned.
Brantley walked out of the suite and down to Savannah's podium. He could tell she was writing something as he was walking up. She had long light brown hair with gold woven through it like the sun has touched her hair. She is little around 5 foot 4 inches and she has curves in all the right places. She has the prettiest blue eyes, he saw that earlier when they were introduced. He walks past her looking for the TV that shows the other scores. About that time, he heard his name called, he turned and looked to see who was calling him.
Savannah called his name again,"Brantley "
He smiled at her and she said, "Follow me and I will show you where you can check the score for your Georgia Bulldogs."
Brantley said," How did you know that was what I was doing?"
Savannah smiled and said," Because I am a fan of your music and you talk about it in your songs. Also I'm a fan of my Tide and if I'm not at the game or watching the game I am looking to find out the score. If you look right there it is the SEC network and should be on."
Brantley looked at her and said," Thank you not only for this but for the MtDews earlier. If I had been told that they didn't have that I would have taken something else. It really wasn't a big deal that I had to have them. But thank you for the effort you put forth."
Savannah smiled and said," you're welcome. I will let you have some privacy now."
Brantley stood there thinking that she was different from most. She hasn't asked for a picture or autograph but has openly said she was a fan of his music. She was nice and like Thomas said down home. He sees the score and that his team is winning and starts walking back to the suite when he hears a commotion and looks ahead.
This man is standing at Savannah's podium and he has his hand on her arm gripping it. As Brantley walks up he over hears the man say, " I want the window down and you will put it down bitch or lose your job. You are to do what I say since I am the suite owner." Savannah replies to the man," Sir like your server has explained once they open the gates and people are let in we cannot close the windows or open them because it is a safety hazard. This was explained in your contract that you signed. Please let go of my arm before I call security."
The man yanks her arm and Brantley steps in and said." I advise you to do as the lady asked and remove your hand from her and return to your suite." The man turned to Brantley and said," Who the hell do you think you are telling me what to do?" Brantley said," I think I'm the man who is gonna whoop your ass if you don't take your hands off her. Where I'm from real men don't put their hands on a woman in anger." Savannah looks at Brantley and said," it's okay Mr.Gilbert, security has been called and is on their way here as we speak. Thank you for your help." Security arrives and takes the man away.
Brantley asked if she was okay and she told him yes and she appreciated his help. He nodded and walked back to the suite and continued to watch the game, all the time his mind was on Savannah.
