Second Chances

Bonus Chapter 3...

I grinned back and waved. He sent me a wink that just made my grin grow. The wink was a little signal Hunter came up with this morning before he left. Because he couldn't come up to the stands he wanted a way to show me he loved me and was glad I was there.

Because we have kept our relationship pretty much under wraps no one really knew we were together. Thankfully no paparazzi has spotted us together yet. We haven't really talked too much about going public so because of that Hunter thought a wink was better than anything else. Just until we decided what we should do.

He knew how brutal the tabloids could be. Especially since he is one of the hottest players, look wise and talent wise. The one relationship he did have that went public was all over the magazine and social media. Everyone knew about it, even I did.

The two of us wanted to air on the side of caution, especially at first. When we first got back together it was still so new and we literally had to rebuild our relationship. We may have still loved each other but five years can change somebody.

We both grew up a lot in five years and so much had happened in our lives. So we had to relearn things about one another, learn how to cope now that we lived in the adult world, not just the college life we use to have. We couldn't see each other everyday like in college. Work would get in the way and sometimes we could only text or call each other for a week.

While struggling to co-exist in each others lives once more, the last thing we both wanted was the paparazzi or outside world to interfere. We didn't need anything or anyone from the outside trying to get into our lives.

So for the past 6-ish months we have kept it low-key. If anyone did get a picture with us my head was usually covered or down so you couldn't see much more than my red hair.

But now with the season starting we were going to have to talk about what we wanted to do. We couldn't hide in the shadows for much longer and I didn't want to either. In a weird jealous way I wanted everyone to know Hunter James was mine.

With that wink Hunter had to go talk to the coach before the game officially started. With Hunter now busy I turned to Hannah only to see her beaming and waving at someone on the field. Following her gaze I found Ryan standing there waving back. Like my boyfriend he was stuck on the field being the team doctor and all.

But unlike Hunter and I, Hannah and Ryan were official on social media. As soon as she posted a picture of them on her instagram and put on Facebook that she was in a relationship with Ryan Davis, the team Patriots team doctor, the world new. I remember seeing it trend on Twitter for a full day.

Like Hunter, Ryan was pretty popular with the ladies. Because he was very attractive, successful, a doctor, and not to mention best friends with Hunter James, the world knew who he was. So when he came out that he was dating my best friend Hannah the world was a bit shocked.

While Hannah didn't get as much heat like some athletic girlfriends, she did gain a lot of new followers along with some hate comments. But like Hannah she just brushed it off.

Seeing the comments she's gotten has definitely made me more hesitant in coming out that I was with Hunter but if she wasn't as affected by it then I could be the same.

Ryan blew Hannah a kiss which made her blush profusely. I nudged her arm.

"Get a room." I teased.

"You are one to talk with your boyfriend." She shot back. I ducked my head. She was right about that. Multiple time our friends have told us the exact same thing. It's not my fault my boyfriend is too damn attractive. Sometimes my eyes have a mind of their own.
