"Just one more week, all I need"

"Come back home with me. Spend Draft night with me. You'll get to meet the rest of my family." Christian suggest smiling

"Christian, you know I can't afford to fly out there. I would love to come and support you."

"Don't worry about it, spring break is next week. Come please?" Christian says turning around to face me

"Okay, I'll come." I answer smiling

"What would I do with you?"

"Hm, I don't know." I reply, leaning in letting my lips press against his soft plump lips

"We really go to stop, I don't have many condoms left you know." Christian says pulling away

"Not my fault." I say smirking

"C'mon let's go we have a fight to catch."

Draft Night

Today is the day. The night that determines if Christian will have a career in Pro- Football. There are a great number of teams looking at him like the Carolina Panthers, San Fran 49ers, Seattle Seahawks and the New England Patriots. No matter where he goes there is going to be distance. I've made it this far, I can do for three more years.

In the meantime, I've met a great amount of people who mean a ton in Christian's life and it's crazy to me that this could potentially my family. I love his mom so much, she is truly the older version of Christian just in women form. Sounds weird to say but it's true as he-

"Hey babe, the draft is about to start. Want to come down?" Christian ask poking his head in the room

"Yeah, here I come!"

"Well c'mon then." Christian says picking me up in bridal style

Now here I am, letting him carry me down the stairs because he swears I'm his prince

"I hate you sometimes,"

"You don't, you love me."

"Look is the infamous couple." Max speaks

"PDA is a thing you know." Luke jokes

"Oh shut up." I say pushing Luke out of the way to sit next to him and Max

"Hey Christian, Brooke is here." Max says

Who is Brooke? Do I know her? Wait, stop Ashlee. She is probably a old friend. Don't get all crazy.

"Where is she?" Christian asks coming to sit by me

"I think she is in the back room with everyone else."

"Who is Brooke?" I ask

Shit I wasn't supposed to say that out loud

"She is an old friend. Haven't seen her since my senior year." Christian answers looking at me smiling

"Oh cool." I say smiling

Okay, I'm not worried about her nor am I concerned about her but it does have me pondering whether that was the girl who he cheated on Mary- Beth with and now they are just good fri-

"Shhh guys Carolina is up next." Lisa announces

Right as Lisa says that Christian phones begins to ring.

"Here goes nothing yall ." Christian speaks walking into another room

"Go with him Ashlee." Lisa says

At first I was hesitant because I don't want to be the first to congratulate him. As I walked in I hear "Thank you sit, you won't regret this I promise. ".

"Well?"I ask

" You'll see in a second."

"Oh the Behalf of the Carolina Panthers, for the eighth pick of the draft we have selected Christian Mccaffrey, running back. " Thomas Davis Announces

"Christian, congratulations! I'm so happy for you." I exclaim hugging him

"I did it babe, I get to live my dream."

"You did it number 5"

Time went on and months later. I became a sophomore and Christian officially became a Carolina Panther. I'm beyond proud of him but now he's in the public eye and that means everyone knows who I am. It's not bad but it gets tiring after a while when interviewers ask "How did you parents react when they met Ashlee?" Ignorant questions like that! Why does it become a shocker when a white guy dates a black girl? Especially with Christian dating Mary-Beth before me, I receive a ton of comparisons to her. One thing that's been bothering me though is Christian and I haven't been talking as much and when we do talk it ends up in us arguing. I truly don't know what's going on but I guess this will blow over once I get to see him.
