Public Relations

I got home from the club where I had to make sure everything was perfect for the team event tonight. I have just enough time to get ready for tonight. I showered this morning so I didn’t have to worry about that. My hair was half done already because I had straightened it this morning. Now I’m standing in my closet wearing a lace bra and pantie set trying to decide what the heck to wear tonight. I pull a silk robe off the hanger and put it on. I pick my phone up and quickly find Sid’s number. I hit the facetime button. Sid answers after a couple rings.
“Hey.” He says.
“Hey.” I say back.
“What’s up?” He asks. I can tell he’s getting ready as well.
“I need your help.” I say.
“With?” He asks.
“An outfit.” I say.
“Do you ever know what to wear?” He asks.
“Not really.” I say blushing a bit.
“What’s the choices tonight?” He asks.
“One second.” I say. I put the phone against something on one of the shelves so he can see when I hold up the dresses. I pull out a teal dress with a sparkly top and a solid bottom. It’s a high waste dress with thick, tank top straps. The second dress I pull out is a black dress with three cut outs below the breasts. Almost immediately Sid answers.
“Black.” He says.
“Do you think it’s appropriate for tonight?” I ask.
“Yeah.” He says. “Don’t worry.”
“Awesome.” I say.
“Shoes?” He asks after a couple seconds.
“Hot pink, platform heels.” I say.
“Sounds good.” He says. “How did your meeting go?”
“The one with my boss and James?” I ask.
“Yes.” He says.
“Good.” I say. “They told us that our relationship is fine as long as it doesn’t interfere with either of our jobs.”
“Great.” He says.
“I’m glad, because I really like him.” I say.
“I can tell.” Sid says.
“I should get dressed now, but I’ll see you at the bar.” I say.
“See you then.” He says.
“See you.” I say before hanging up the Facetime call. I change into my dress. Then I go into the washroom where my curling iron is already hot. I work on my hair. I make huge loose curls. Once I finish I check the time. I have about fifteen minutes until James should be here. I touch up my makeup and go to the washroom. Then I go back to the closet, I find my pink platform heels and slip them on. I go downstairs and by the time I get into the living room the doorbell rings. I go over to the door and open it. James looks amazing in his black suit. He’s wearing a light pink shirt under his jacket. I smile and check him out.
“Damn you look good.” I say.
“I look good?” He asks. “You look amazing.”
“I don’t.” I say blushing.
“Yes you do.” He says. I turn around in a circle. “That ass.”
“You like it?” I ask.
“Very much so.” He says. He pulls me into him and kisses me. “Where’s Reid?”
“Lily took him out for dinner so I could get ready.” I say.
“That’s to bad, I wanted to see the little guy.” James says.
“You will see him on Monday at the game.” I say.
“Great.” He says.
“Let’s go.” I say getting excited.
“Let’s.” He says. I walk out the door and close it behind me. He takes my hand as we go down the stairs to his car. He opens the door for me. I get in and before he closes the door he gives me another kiss.
“I like this.” I say.
“What?” He asks.
“You kissing me all the time.” I say.
“I like kissing you all the time too.” He says. I blush. He closes the door and walks around the car. He gets in and starts the car up. It’s a quick drive over to bar. At every red light James leans over and gives me a kiss. I think its completely adorable and I tell him that. When we get to the bar, James finds a parking spot near the VIP entrance at the back. We arrive around the same time as a couple guys on the team and their dates. We walk in with Brandon and a petite blonde girl who looks like she’s glued to his side. I try not to make a face, but I can’t help it. She’s in the smallest dress I’ve ever seen and the tallest stripper heels possibly ever made. When we get upstairs to the VIP room I see Sid and Geno across the room. Geno is with a girl who looks Russian and Sid is alone. They are all sitting in a booth. I point them out to James and we make our way over there. Brandon and the blonde girl follow behind us. When we get to the table Sid stands up. He pulls me into a hug.
“Hey.” He says.
“Hey.” I say back. James starts talking to Geno. Sid and I are standing a bit away from the booth.
“I told you not to worry about the dress.” He says. We both look at the girl Brandon is with then back at each other.
“Yeah, I guess.” I say. We both laugh. I feel James slip his arm around my waist and pull me into him.
“Dance with me?” He whispers in my ear.
“Sure.” I say turning my head toward him. He gives me a quick kiss. “I’ll catch up with you in a bit.”
“Sure.” Sid says smiling. He sat down in the booth and took a sip of his beer. I turn fully to face James. He gives me a long kiss before taking my hand and leading me onto the dance floor. We start to dance to the song playing. I start singing along to the song. It’s the song Don’t Tell Em by Jeremih and Rick Ross. It’s one of my favourite songs at the time. They team is always blasting it in the dressing room. I turn my back to James and start grinding up against him. He put his hands on my hips and we move together with the beat. I close my eyes and feel the music. James kisses me on the neck and a small moan escapes between my lips. We move like that all the way through the next two songs. After the third song finishes I turn back to James.
“Drinks?” James asks.
“Yes.” I say. I can feel someone’s eyes on me as we make our way across the room. I look back over to the booth Sid is in and Brandon as staring at me. We lock eyes for a minute. Finally I look away and don’t look back. He looks sad. The girl he brought tonight is talking like crazy to him. He seems to not be paying attention, but that doesn’t stop her. She just keeps talking to him, its like she doesn’t even notice he isn’t paying attention. I turn my attention back to James. We’re standing at the bar now and I’m trying to decide what I want to drink.
“Something sour.” I say to the bar tender.
“Amaretto Sour?” He asks.
“Sounds sour.” I say with a giggle. “One, please.”
“And for you?” The bartender asks James.
“Beer.” James says.
“Bottle or draft?” He asks.
“Bottle please.” James says.
“Coming up.” The bartender says. We wait patiently as the bartender makes the drinks. James kisses me again.
“I’m happy we came tonight.” I say smiling at James.
“Me too.” He says. The bartender puts our drinks down in front of us. James passes the bartender a five. All the drinks tonight are on the team, but everyone is responsible for their own tips and food. We each take our drink and I take James’ hand again as I follow him back over to the booth. Sid moves over and I sit down next to him.
“What are you drinking?” He asks.
“Amaretto Sour.” I say. “First time I’ve tried it.”
“Is it good?” He asks. I hold it out to him. He takes a sip and makes a face.
“To sour?” I ask.
“A bit.” He says passing it back to me. He takes a sip of his beer. James puts his hand on my leg and rubs it up and down. I take a sip of my drink. I try to ignore James’ touch, but it’s very distracting.
“Reid misses you.” I say.
“I miss him too.” Sid says.
“James got him tickets for the game Tuesday.” I say.
“Awesome! Are you guys doing something special after?” He asks.
“Yeah, James is taking us out for dinner.” I say. James turns his attention to us when he hears his name.
“Do you want to come?” James asks Sid. I look at James questioningly. I’m surprised he is willing to let Sid come. I guess he’s finally realized that Sid and I are just friends.
“Sure.” Sid says. “That sounds great!”
“I’m excited for the game.” I say. “Reid and I have this tradition. Usually it’s with his father, but this year it’s just us.”
“What’s that?” Sid asks. I had already explained to James what we do during the first preseason game and that this year I was excited it was just Reid and I this year.
“Reid is going to come and spend the day with me at the office. He’s going to follow me around. It’s what we do every year.” I say.
“That’s really fun.” He says. “How does he like that?”
“He loves it.” I say. We each get another drink as we talk about the first game. Both James and Sid are playing in this game, which is exciting for Reid to see. After we have all had a couple more drinks and I’ve danced with a couple of the guys we decide its time to head home. We say goodnight to everyone. I told Lily in advance that I might not be home tonight and not to worry if I’m not at home in the morning. None of us have work in the morning so I decide to go home and spend the night at James’ house. We haven’t spent the night together yet and I’m very excited, but I’m also nervous. Spending the night together will teach us many things about each other and it will be good for our relationship.
