Alexandra Point of View
I woke up bright and early Tuesday morning. I had so much to do and such little time before I had to go to work. I rolled out of Tyler's bed trying to not waking him up and tip toed out of his room. Brad wasn't in the apartment, he must have been with Cherokee in ours. I hope they didn't make a mess in the apartment. I walked out the door and hopped into the elevator I was excited but nervous too. The first thing I had to do was shower and get dressed for work. It didn't take me long to shower but figuring out what to wear was the difficult part. I decided on black pants and a red long sleeve shirt and of course the necklace Tyler got me when he asked me to be his girlfriend. I put my hair in a ballerina bun. Then I moved on to my next task, cleaning the apartment. I started at the guest room, I made the bed and sprayed air freshener. Next was the kitchen, I tried to avoid cleaning anything that could ruin my clothes. Before I knew it was time for me to go over what little makeup I had on and pack my things for work. I made my lunch and wrote a letter for Cherokee. It said:

Cherokee,
I cleaned up most of the apartment but the bathroom and obviously your room so if you could clean that up it would be great.
Thanks love,
Alex

By the time I finished Tyler was here.

Tyler; "You look beautiful and don;t think the BU colors didn't go unnoticed."

Me: "Thanks babe."

Tyler: "So you ready to go?"

Me: "I'm as ready as I'll ever be."

Tyler: "You'll be fine."

We walked out to his car and headed towards the garden. There was a comfortable silence on the ride over. I giving myself a pep talk in my head, I knew I could do this. By the time we got there I was calm cool and collected, ready to take on the day. I got out of the car and smiled, why I was in my deep thought I realized how lucky I was and I would put everything I had into this job. I didn't realize how lost in thought I was until Tyler was waving his hand in front of my face.

Tyler: "Are you alright?"

Me: "Yeah I'm fine."

I intertwined my fingers with his and we walked into the garden. I walked with Tyler to the lockeroom where he had to get ready for practice.

Tyler: "Are you sure you don't want me to go with you?"

Me: "No I'll be fine, have a good practice."

I gave him a quick kiss and walked to Mr. Julien's office. I knocked on the door.

Mr. Julien: "Come in!"

Me: "Hello Mr. Julien."

Mr. Julien: Hello Alexandra, you ready for tour first day?"

Me: "Yes I'm excited to be apart of the organization."

Mr. Julien: "I'll take you to the trainers room and please call me Claude."

Me: "Okay Claude."

We took the short walk to the trainers room and I met the trainers. They seemed like very nice guys. They showed me where everything was and we just got to know each other. I think I would like this job a lot. Practice would probably be coming to an end soon and then I would get to leave and go see my parents and get ready for my game. I was going through paperwork but I couldn't get rid of the nerves I had for my game. My nerves were getting to me so I stepped out of the room to use the restroom and splash some cold water on my face after I did this I felt a ton better and I went back to the room and went back to my paperwork. Practice must have come to and end because guys were starting to come in to get ice and massaged. I put my paperwork away and stood up to observe what the trainers were doing. I was so focused i jumped when felt someones arms around me.

Tyler: "Relax it's just me."

Me: "Sorry babe, I just have a lot on my mind right now."

Tyler: "It sounds like you're the one who needs the massage."

"You can give me one later." I said winking. "I can do that for you" he said turning and putting his hands on my hips and giving me a quick kiss,

Me: "Do you need something or are you just coming to visit?"

Tyler: "Actually I came to get some ice."

Me: "I'll get it, be right back."

I went and got a bag of ice and tape. When I got back he was sitting on a bench waiting. I was almost done wrapping Tyler's shoulder when I was startled by Jack, one of the trainers.

Jack: "Look at the intern getting into it on her first day. Way to go shorty!"

"Stop making fun of my height." I whined.

Jack: "Get used to it that's your new nickname."

Me: "Ugh whatever."

I was having so much fun at my new job. But I had to leave soon to get ready for my game. I was excited to see my parents. I felt like it couldn't get better for me. Around 1 o'clock I got to leave. Tyler had left the car here and got a ride with Brad. When I got in the car I plugged in my IPod and went to my Mike Stud play-list. Before I knew it I was home. I walked into my apartment to see my parents,Brad,Cherokee and Tyler in my living room. My dad stood up and I ran up to him and hugged him.

Me: "Hey!"

Dad: "Hey there's my beautiful daughter! I thought you were never going to get here."

Me: "Sorry I got held up doing some paperwork"

Mom: "It's okay dear we understand."

Me: "Ugh I missed you guys so much."

I pulled them in for a group hug.

Both: "We missed you too."
Tyler's Point of View
When Alex walked through the apartment door, her eyes lit up. She ran right to her dad and gave him a big hug. I didn't realize how much she missed her parents. After she was done saying her hello's she turned to me and gave me a hug and a quick kiss.

Alex: "I missed you."

"We weren't apart that long." I laughed.

"I know." She smiled brightly

I was happy to see her so happy.

Alex: "Mom and dad this is my boyfriend Tyler. I'm sure you know who he is." She laughed.
Alex's Point of View
I introduced my parents to Tyler even though I knew they knew who he was.

Dad: "Of course we know who he is!"

That caused me to blush really bad. We all sat down, Tyler wrapped his arms around me. I rested my head in the crook of his neck. We were talking about soccer when my phone went off in my back pocket. I stood up and looked at my phone, it was Travis.

Note: For those of you don't remember Travis was one of Alex's best friends in school they actually dated during high school but decided to split because the distance.

Me: "Excuse me I have to take this."

I got up and walked to the kitchen.

Me: "Heyy trail mix!"

Travis: "Ugh not the nickname."

Me: "Haha you know you love it. So what's up?"

Travis: "First off I wanted to tell you I tried out for the soccer team."

Me: "And?"

Travis: "I made it."

Me: "Omg!! I told you, you would make it. Congrats!

Travis: "Haha thank you."

Me: "I'll have to come see you play text me your schedule you loser."

Travis: "Alright, alright I will send it to you okay."

Me: "Okay, Thanks!

Travis: "Anyways I called to wish you luck at your first game."

Me: "You remembered!"

Travis: "Of course I did just because we stopped dating doesn't mean I stopped caring."

Me: "I know, me too."

Travis: "I see that it's almost Pb&J time so i'll let you go. Please don't be a stranger."

Me: "I won't how about I call you tomorrow? Don't forget to text me your schedule!"

Travis: "I won't and tomorrow sounds good."

Me: "Good I have sooo much to tell you."

Travis: "Looking forward to it."

Me: "Me too."

Travis: "Bye beautiful."

Me: "Bye superstar."
I hung up and walked back out to the living room.

Me: "Sorry about that."

Everyone: "It's okay."

Cherokee gave me a questioning look and I gave her the tell you later look. She gave me and understanding look I'm pretty sure she knew who I was talking too. I sat in Tyler's lap and was in deep thought as my alarm went off on my phone. My dad looked at his watch.

Dad: " Pb &J time"

Me: "Yay!"

Cherokee laughed knowing my superstition about having a peanut butter and jelly sandwich before a game.

Dad: "Do you have the stuff?"

Me: "Of course!"

I stood up and so did both my parents and we walked to the kitchen.
Cherokee's Point of View
We were in the middle of a conversation when Alex's phone went off. I had a pretty good feeling who it was and would make sure to ask about it later. About 10 minutes later she came out and got comfortable in Tyler's lap. They were too cute. Then a couple minutes later her alarm on her phone went off. It was Pb&J time. She was so excited haha but I understood the excitement. Her and her parents went to the kitchen to eat there Pb&J.

Brad: "Who does she think she is Sidney Crosby?"

I let out a laugh knowing that was exactly the reason why.

Tyler: "Please don't tell me that's why it started."

Cherokee: "I hate to tell you but yes that is how it got started."

Brad was laughing out loud, it was pretty funny though.

Before I knew it her parents came back out. We were actually talking about the whole Pb&J thing when Tyler's phone went off.
Tyler's Point of View
Alex's parents came back out but Alex didn't. They were talking about her little superstition my phone went off, it was a text.

Alex: "Come here."

Me: "Okay one sec."

"That was Alex excuse me." I said as I went towards her room. I walked into her room.

Me: "What's wrong babe?"

"Nothing I just wanted to see you." she giggled.

Me: "Aww you're too cute."

I walked up to her and put my hands on her waist. She was dressed in her uniform.

Me: "Did I mention how hot you look in your uniform?"

Alex: "No but thank you. Have I mentioned how hot you look in yours?

Me: "No but that is very good to know."

She giggled then stepped on her tiptoes and wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me. I deepened the kiss, I could feel her smiling into it which made me laugh.
Alexandra's Point of View
Tyler and I were kissing when he started laughing. "What?!" I whined

Tyler: "Nothing I just don't think I haven't ever seen you this happy."

Me: "Ohh haha I think you have."

Tyler: "Oh have I, when was that?"

Me: "When you gave me this pretty necklace and asked me to be your girlfriend."

Tyler: "Oh yes how could I forget about that?"

Me: "I don't know babe."

My phone then went off.

"What now?" Tyler joked.

Me: "Sorry haha I set alarms when I get nervous."

Tyler: "Don't be nervous you'll be great."

Me: "Thanks babe."

I finished packing my soccer stuff and was ready to go with time to spare thank god for my alarms to keep me ahead of the game. I then carried out my soccer bag and set it by the door. I then turned to my family and said "Picture Time!" I took a couple pictures with my parents, then with just my mom,and just with my dad and with my parents and Cherokee and then with Cherokee,Brad and Tyler then just me and Cherokee we had many pictures in many different poses and then Tyler and I which had to be the cutest pictures ever and I actually got a couple with Brad. After a 100 pictures it was time for me to go to the field.

Me: "Alright I got to go before I'm late."

Mom: "Alright we''ll meet you there."

Me: "Okay see you there."

They all told me good luck and I said thank you and walked out the door. I got in my car and put on my pregame playlist and was off. I parked in the players lot and headed towards my teamates who were standing by the bench. They all ran over to hug me.

Hayley: "Omg I missed you in class this morning, we all did."

Me: "Aww I missed you guys too."

They started asking me questions about my internship, but I told them I would tell them later and we should focus on the game. I plugged in my iPod to the speakers my teammates put me in charge of the warm up play list. Then we started warming up I could see my family and friends. It put a big smile on my face seeing them all there. Sadly my teammates noticed and started harassing me about it. Before I knew it, it was time for kickoff. I looked at Tyler and smiled. He looked so proud and that's all I needed to make me feel more confident. I was playing in the midfield which was exciting for me. We were getting a lot of scoring chances but weren't converting. Finally in the 29th minute Brea scored off a rebound on a corner kick. We went into halftime with a 1 goal lead against CCSU. The team was rolling on all cylinders. The second half we came out shooting. In the 74th minute it happened I got a pass from Kai and saw an opening and shot into the right lower corner of the goal. I couldn't believe it I gave my little fist pump but that's it. I knew Tyler and Brad would give me crap about my celly but I was to in shock to do anything to big. Then about 2 minutes later we struck again with another goal from Brea. After that goal we focused on playing defense and possessing the ball. Before I knew it, I heard the final whistle. We all ran to our goalie and gave each other hugs. We then shook the hands of the other team. We were all talking when Kerry our backup goalie said "Look who's coming your way." I smiled a big smile and ran over to him and jumped into his arms.

Tyler: "Congratulations babe!"


Me: "Thank you!"

I then whispered in his ear "That goal was for you, but don't tell my dad that." Tyler laughed. I finally gave everyone else hugs and told them I would meet them at home. I gave Tyler a quick kiss and went back towards my teammates. "I guess your out for having dinner with us tonight" said Kelsey.

Me: "Yeah I told my parents we would have dinner after."

Kelsey: "It's okay we understand.

Me: "We do need to get together."

Kelsey: "Yeah you have a lot to tell us."

Me: "Haha alright give me a time and a place, i'll be there. See you guys later."

"Bye freshy!" They all said.

I just laughed and headed towards my car I was so happy. I got to my apartment and was bombarded by congratulations. I told everyone I would take a shower and be right back. I got into my room and jumped in my bed and practically started screaming it was the greatest feeling ever to win. A few minutes later I finally got up and picked out my outfit and headed to the shower. When I got out I felt refreshed. I changed into jeans and a hoodie, if I had it my way I would be wearing sweats but I wouldn't do that to my family and friends. I put my hair in a bun, put the necklace Tyler got me back on and slipped my feet into my uggs and was ready to go. I headed out and they were all ready to go. We decided on a steakhouse for dinner. I was starving I took my parents and Tyler in my car. Cherokee and Brad would meet us there. We walked into the steakhouse and were immediately seated which was good because I was starving. I sat in between Tyler and my dad with Cherokee across from me. The waiter took our orders and went to put them in.

Tyler: "So how long are you guys staying?"

Teri (my mom): "We are leaving tomorrow morning."

Tyler: "Oh so soon?"

Teri: "We would have loved to stay longer but we have to go back to work."

Tyler: "Ohh I understand."

Jim (my dad): "Plus Alex is working and has soccer practices so we don't want to be in her way, even though she claims we won't."

I loved how well my parents and Tyler were getting along. I was in my own world when my dad got me out of it.

Jim: "You awake down there?"

Me: "Yeah, I'm starving."

Cherokee: "Here have some gum."

Me: "Ohh what flavor?"

Cherokee: "Watermelon duh."

Me: "Yay!"

Everyone laughed as i popped the piece of gum in my mouth and smiled happily like a four year old. Finally our dinner came. I was more excited then when I got the piece of gum. Once we were done the waiter took our plates and asked if we would like dessert why my parents declined Cherokee and I said yes. I ordered chocolate cake while Cherokee ordered a brownie sundae. Our dessert came quickly and Cherokee and went to eating. When I finished my half put the fork down and waited for Cherokee. Cherokee finished hers and we switched plates. My parents looked at us and laugh "you guys haven't changed at all have you?" "No." we both said and went back to eating Cherokee and I finished but not without hearing embarrassing stories about me thanks to Brad. They heard about me being scared of any mascots including dopey the dwarf at Disney and me coloring a girls cracker and another girl trying to feed it to another girl that made Tyler and Brad die of laughter. Finally the check arrived Tyler took the check and put his credit card in it but not without a fight from my dad. When my dad gave in we gave the check to the waiter and waited for him to bring Tyler's card back and I left the tip for him. We then went out to our cars telling Brad and Cherokee we would meet them at the appartment. I got in the car and headed towards my appartment. We got back to the appartment safe and sound I was exhausted I would probably just go to sleep when I got up to the apartment.

Dad: "Tyler when we get up to the appartment can I speak with you?"

Tyler: "Yes sir."

Dad: "Also bring Brad with you oh and don't call me sir it makes me feel old."

Tyler: "Hahaha okay."

We let my get out of the car and head into the building before we headed out.

Me: "Ugh I'm so tired."

Tyler: "Aww poor baby."

Me: "You're sarcasm is noted."

Tyler: "Hahaha what do you think you're dad wants to talk about?"

Me: "I have no clue."

We got out of the car and headed to my appartment. Before we headed in I hugged Tyler.

Me: "Thanks for buying dinner tonight It meant a lot to me."

Tyler: "You're welcome I thought we were going to have to play the credt card game though."

Me: "Lol that would be a great story to tell our children."

Tyler: "Our children?"

I blushed and kept walking. Tyler then stopped and turned me around facing him and picked me up. I was still blushing and trying to not look at him.

Tyler: "Look at me."

I looked at him and he kissed me.

Tyler: "I like the sound of that."

I started crying a little when he said that.

Tyler: "Aww baby."
Those words meant so much to me, to me it meant he saw me in his future. We kissed for a while until we decided we should probably head inside. That and I was curious what my dad needed to tell Tyler. Tyler carried me to my appartment even though I told him I could walk. We made it to my appartment but before Tyler opened the door I gave him a quick kiss.

Tyler: "I love you."

"I love you too." I smiled

He then let me down and we walked into the apartment.

Me: "Tyler I'm going to head to bed."

Tyler: "Okay baby congrats on your win today. Goodnight."

I walked over to him and gave him a hug and a quick kiss and said "goodnight." As I walked down the hallway I could hear my dad talk.

Jim: "Mind if we go up to your appartment. I dont want any eavesdroppers!"

Me: "I don't Eavesdrop."

Jim: "Yeah okay."

I heard the appartment door shut and felt nervous. I changed into my pj's and went to bed I left my phone on incase Tyler texted but it didn't matter because I was out like a light.
Tyler's Point of View
When we got back from dinner Jim wanted to talk to Brad and I which scared me. Alex and I let her parents get a head start before we got out of the car, so we talked.

Alex: "Ugh I'm so tired."

Me: "Aww poor baby."

Alex: "You're sarcasm is noted."

Me: "Hahaha what do you think you're dad wants to talk about?"

Alex: "I have no clue."

We then got out of the car and headed inside but not before she hugged me. She was just so perfect and I don't think she knew it.

Alex: "Thanks for buying dinner tonight It meant a lot to me."

Me: "You're welcome I thought we were going to have to play the credt card game though."

Alex: "Lol that would be a great story to tell our children."

Me: "Our children?"

She blushed and kept walking. I then stopped and turned her around facing me and I picked her up. She was still blushing and trying to not look at me.

Me: "Look at me."

She looked at me and I kissed her.

Me: "I like the sound of that."

She started crying.

Me: "Aww baby."

After our moment we headed up to her appartment. I was curious to seewhat her dad had to say to Brad and I. I carried her,to her appartment even though she told me she could walk. We made it to her appartment but before I opened the door she gave me a quick kiss.

Me: "I love you."

"I love you too." she smiled

I then let her down and we walked into the apartment.

Alex: "Tyler I'm going to head to bed."

Me: "Okay baby congrats on your win today. Goodnight."

She walked over to me and gave me a hug and a quick kiss and said "goodnight." As she walked down the hallway her dad spoke.

Jim: "Mind if we go up to your appartment. I dont want any eavesdroppers!"

Alex: "I dont eavesdrop!"

Jim: "Yeah okay."

We walked out of the appartment and headed to mine.
Cherokee's Point of View
I had a great time with my family and friends today. I was so happy to see Alex score and win her game,I was so proud and so was Tyler. We then went back to our appartment and got ready for dinner. Then we went to dinner at a steakhouse it was so good I had to give Alex gum while we waited to take her mind off being hungry she was so happy to have the gum it was funny. When dinner came she was 5 times more exctied. We then had dessert Alex and I had this thing where we would each get a dessert and we would eat a half and trade. Tyler and Brad looked at us weird but Alex's parents understood. After dessert Tyler and Alex's dad argued over who would pay the bill but Jim finally gave up and let Tyler pay while Alex left the tip. Then we headed home. Brad and i thoght Alex's parents would want time with Tyler and Alex alone but I guess not because while Brad and I were watching tv Tyler walked in with Ale's dad not to far behind. Alex's dad came in and said he would like to talk to the guys alone. I hugged Brad and kissed him goodbye. I walked to my appartment and wanted to talk to Alex about her lttle phone call earlier but she was fast asleep and I wouldn't dare wake her so I headed to my room and drifted off to sleep.
