"Wow!!" Ryan exclaimed, as I walked down the stairs towards him, "You look.... Just wow."

"You don't looks bad yourself," I gave him a double take, and man did he look delicious, even if he was just wearing jeans, a tshirt and a suit jacket, "Remind me to thank Jordan for sending this over on short notice."

"I'll be thanking Jordan myself... damn."

I couldn't help but laugh out loud. Ryan had called Jordan and told her our plan, Jordan just being Jordan had sent over her newest dress, that hasn't even been released yet. It was a rose gold sequined mini dress with long sleeves with a diamond shaped cut out in the back revealing well most of my back. "You don't think it's too much or too short? I mean I don't exactly have long legs to show off."

"Babe it's perfect, you're perfect don't worry, and I mean damn, your ass looks so fucking good," he replied, just as Thomas walked through the door.

"RYAN!" I shrieked.

"It's a compliment. Here," he said handing me a glass of bourbon, "You're going to need this to get through tonight." I drank it down in one gulp, savoring the burn as it went. Thomas gave Ryan a nod. "Ready?" he asked, holding his hand out.

"Whenever you are." I walked outside and got into the waiting SUV.

"How do you feel about doing an interview with me tomorrow?"

"What's it for?"

"Sports illustrated. Brian, my publicist called and he thinks since we're going public tonight it will be perfect timing to get our story out." The look on his face told me he was keeping something back from me.

"I know you, what's the catch?"

"It was originally intended for me and Brooke."

"Before I say no, I want to know what it's about, and what's in it for me if I say yes."

"It's the Women Behind the Men, interview. It's kind of a big deal, it's a chance for readers to get to know out the rookies and the woman in our lives. If we do it, Brian is sure they'll offer us the cover with our recent engagement, which will lead to other magazines offering bids to publish our engagement pictures first. Which we need to schedule."

"Which will lead to more advertising deals for you."

"Pretty much, and its good press for the team."

"I'll do it on one condition."

"What's that?"

"You take me to the MET."

"What's your obsession with the MET?"

"They have the largest collection of 18th dynasty artifacts in the US."

"Still obsessed with Egypt huh?"

"Obsessed is a strong word. Deal or no deal?"

"Well even if it is a strong word, I'm obsessed with you, and deal."

"Were here," Thomas said as we pulled up.

"Don't say too much, it'll come out in the interview. Ready for this?"

"Wait," I pulled his lapels to me for a heart stopping kiss. "Now I am." Ryan stepped out of the SUV, and held out his hand for me. I took his hand and stepped out of the car, making sure to take my hand back and cover my ring. A lady led us over to the Saint Jude's and Jets backdrop, where the flashing lights seemed to triple.

Ryan took my hand again this time in front of the cameras and leaned down and laughed in my ear, "It's time, enjoy it, and don't look so scared." His lip brushed the bottom of my ear, and the feel of his hand on the small of my back made me feel like we were in a world of our own. I put my hand on his chest and proudly showed off my ring. I turned my head and smiled and the lights started flashing like crazy, the people were yelling my name and Ryan's. That's when the questions started. "When's the date?" "How did you meet?" "When did he pop the question?" I glanced up at him and saw him mouth 'I love you so much.' Then I heard it, "How far along are you?"

I felt my smile drop, then Thomas was in front of me, blocking the cameras and ushering me in. "Do I really look pregnant?" I asked looking at Thomas.

"Not a bit hun, they're just doing their job trying to get a reaction out of you," Thomas replied.

I turned to Ryan and got the reassurance I needed. "He's right you know. You did fine, they're just trying to get a reaction that can be published so they can make up a story about it. Come on, there's someone I want you to meet," Ryan smiled.

A very muscular man with caramel colored skin and a brilliant white smile, came up to us and slapped Ryan on the back. "Ryan, man that was quite an entrance," the man laughed.

"Mila this is Ray, Ray this is Mila my fiancé."

"It's about time I met you, pretty lady. I feel like I already know you, you're all this guy here has been talking about for the past few months," Ray replied with a big smile.

"Have you now?" I smiled, turning just in time to see the blush creep up Ryan's neck, "All good things I hope."

"Girl I already told you it was all good things," Jordan said, handing me some kind of fruity cocktail. "I see you met my husband. Don't let them lead you astray, these two together are trouble. The open bar is over there and we'll be in that room there, and don't worry its one way glass. We can watch them but the cameras can't watch us." she pointed behind her. I turned and saw what looked like a wall of mirrors, until I saw someone open the door and walk out. As I turned back around I realized all eyes were on me. Thomas leaned between us and whispered something in Ryan's ear.

"Brooke just arrived. Jordan watch her don't let her get into too much trouble, please," I saw the sincerity in Ryan's eyes as he spoke to her. He turned to me, bent down and kissed my hair, "Just stick with Jordan and you'll be fine." I gave him a nod as Jordan looped her arm with mine and dragged me into the mirrored room.

We took a seat at the table behind the glass with another blonde. "Mila, meet Kayla, Josh's fiancé. Kayla this is Mila, Ryan's fiancé."

"So you're what the buzz is all about, I see why he moved on so fast!" Kayla laughed. I turned and glared at Jordan.

"She's cool, she just doesn't really have a filter," Jordan laughed.

"Nice to meet you Kayla," I replied holding out my hand, which Kayla happily took.

"How did you two meet?" Kayla asked.

"Actually we grew up together," I replied just as another group of girls walked in, and walked straight to the back of the room to the food table.

"That's Ava," Jordan stated, "Brooke's sister,"

"And not your biggest fan," Kayla interrupted.

"And her posse," Jordan finished.

Ava and her friends sat at a table behind us, oblivious to the fact that we were there. "Don't worry girls, Brooke will have him back on lock by the end of the night. She's got good news and there's no way he won't take her back and drop the new skank."

I was seeing red, when Jordan took my hand and began, "Ava, have you met Mila? She's here with Ryan."

Ava's face turned sour as she looked at me, "I thought flings weren't allowed to come to team events."

"Oh you didn't hear the news?" Kayla asked, "Ryan popped the question. They're engaged and he's officially off the market." Ava stepped outside the room just as Brooke entered the building. She walked over to her and took her hand, and slid off Brooke's engagement ring. I started to panic as Brooke's face hardened, as she shot a murderous look at me through the glass. "It's one way glass, she can't see you," Kayla whispered beside me.

Ava walked back in the room and took a seat. I couldn't help but sit silently and listen to all the conversations going on around me. The other VIP's were bowling with players, while Brooke was just sitting at a table talking to Ryan. A photographer was going around and taking pictures of all the players with their VIP's. My breath caught in my chest when Brooke gave Ryan what appeared to be an unwanted hug, and wrapped her arm around Ryan for the cameras. "See girls what did I tell you, he's still wrapped around her little finger," Ava said smugly, while raising her voice to insure I would overhear.

I felt myself clenching my teeth in anger until Jordan wrapped her arm around me, "Relax girl we all saw how he looked at you, and he never looked at her that way." I looked back at Ryan and saw him and Brooke talking again, he had a fake smile on his face while hers looked genuine. She then placed her hand over his closed fist. Ryan quickly pulled his hand back, the look on his face might look blank to others but I knew he was livid.

"So how did you two meet?" Jordan asked loudly, already knowing the answer.

"I've actually known Ryan my whole life, he lived across the street from me from the time I was born until I was 15."

"High school sweet hearts, huh?" Kayla asked.

"Something like that. Then we both moved on, then several months ago he came back to town, and was hanging out with my brother who is his best friend, and well we started talking and he told me how Brooke cheated on him. We talked for a while, then we decided to give it another go, secretly since he hadn't officially announced his separation from Brooke yet," I shrugged, "And the rest is history, someone saw us together and took a picture and it caught attention and then he asked me to marry him and here I am."

"I wouldn't be picking out your wedding dress just yet," Ava's eyes were shooting daggers into me.

"Excuse me ladies, I need a drink," I said quietly, as I stood to walk out of the room. I quickly walked over to the bar, "Double shot of bourbon please."

"Make that two," Ryan said from behind me. I felt his body against mine as he leaned down to whisper in my ear, "She's pregnant."
