(this chapter is a pre-made draft, so it has pictures but it still won't work for me.)

Isabella woke up to her alarm that next day rolled over to her right and saw the empty spot in her bed where Patrick had been not long ago. Isabella reached for her phone and turned off her alarm and saw a text from Patrick and Clare.

Pat❤️
I left a little early because I have some stuff I need to take care of. I'll see you at work! Love you.❤️

Clare!🌸🩷
Me and Joe are picking you up at your lunch break!

Isabella responded to both of them and then got ready for work. She wore a dark blue cardigan and jeans paired with short Ugg boots.

Isabella drove to work and attached a camera in one of the hallways outside the locker rooms and a sign that asked. "Out of all the Chiefs players... Who would you let your Daughter date?" She hit record and then went back into the conference room and waited till all the players were on the field then stopped the video.
She then spent the entire morning editing that footage and posting it on TikTok.

Clare!🌸🩷
Hey! We're here!

Isabella collected her stuff then went to the parking lot and saw Joe and Clare waiting for her.
"Happy birthday!" Clare said with excitement.
"Happy birthday," Joe said giving her a look of petty
"Thanks," Isabella said lacking enthusiasm.
"Come on, we had to say it once," Clare said and they all got into the car.
"Are you and Patrick doing anything special today?" Clare asked and Isabella shook her head while putting her seatbelt on.
"Nope, I haven't seen him today and I'm ok with that... if he remembered, he knows I don't like my birthday." She explained.

Isabella got back from lunch with Joe and Clare. Then went back to the Conference room to edit some video montages she'd been working on. She spent the rest of the afternoon working on videos and helping her co-workers.

After their end-of-the-day meeting, Isabella went to the field to find Patrick. She stood on the sideline but didn't see Patrick anywhere. She pulled out her phone to see if he texted her but he hadn't.
"Hey, Isabella! I want to try this new club later. Wanna come?" Travis asked while running up to her.
"I don't know Trav. Have you seen Patrick?" She asked.
"Oh, he left a little early to check on Steel." He told her and Isabella was confused as to why Patrick didn't say anything.
"Oh? Is Steel ok?" She asked and he nodded.
"Yeah, Patrick thinks he just ate something bad... Anyways, Wanna come? Pleaseeee? I asked Patrick and he said he would come." He begged.
"Ok, I'll come. What type of club is it?" She asked.
"Just dress super fancy and you will fit right in. I'll come pick you up! At 5:00"He said then ran away which left a confused Isabella. She pulled up her phone and texted Patrick and got no response.

Izzy 🤍
Travis invited me to go to a club. Are you going? Also, how's Steel???

Isabella drove home and still didn't see a response from Patrick. She thought about canceling on Travis and going to Patrick's but Travis said that Patrick was going so she decided to talk to him there.
Isabella started to get ready and picked out her outfit. She picked a black mid-length dress and a black mini purse.

Isabella heard a knock at the door and a pang of hope rushed through her hoping it was Patrick. But realize he had a key and would've let himself in.
She went to answer the door and saw Travis.
"Come in, I need to put on my jewelry and heels... is this dress appropriate?" She asked and he nodded.
"Ok, and you look great!" He said then sat on her couch and waited for her to finish getting ready.

"I'm pretty sure this isn't a club Trav," Isabella said as they pulled up to the nicest restaurant in Kansas City. Travis doesn't say anything and pulls up to the door to drop her off.
"Have fun and Happy birthday." He says and points to the door. Isabella looks to the door and sees Patrick in a suit.
"I'm going to kill you both," Isabella said while getting out of the car.
"Hey, I'm just the wingman." He said while putting his hands up in surrender.
"Well, Thanks for the ride Trav." She said.
"No problem." He said then drove off. Isabella turned and walked over to Patrick who held his hand out for her to take.
"What is this?" She asked while grabbing his hand.
"I know you don't like your birthday... but I wanted to celebrate with you and show you how much I love your birthday... because that was the day that my best friend and lover was born." He said and guided them to their table.
Even though Isabella didn't want to do anything for her birthday she was touched by Patrick and his words.
"You look beautiful by the way." He said while pulling out her chair.
"Thank you. You look very handsome." She returns the compliment.

After they finished dinner Patrick drove her to his place. They got out of the car and entered his house where all the lights were off. Isabella flicked on the light switch and her eyes grew with surprise, She saw his living room filled with balloons, flowers, a pink birthday cake, and other treats.
Isabella turned to Patrick with tears in her eyes and he had a big smile on his face.
"Happy birthday my love," He said and she walked over to him and kissed him.
"This is so sweet Pat, I love you so much." She said when she pulled away.
"And I love you... now, cake? Or presents first?" He asked and Isabella smiled.
"Cake." She said and he picked her up and walked over to his couch and sat her beside him then sliced a piece of cake for her.

After the cake, Patrick went to his office and brought back presents for her to open. Isabella laughed as she opened the first gift.
"You already bought me one," Isabella said as she pulled out a Chiefs sweatshirt.
"I know, I just wanted to make sure that you had options." He said.

Isabella unwrapped her next gift and smiled.
"This is so pretty." She said and pulled out the custom camera strap that had her name engraved into it.
"Thank you, baby, I'll use it every day." She said and pecked his lips.


"Patrick... these are stunning." She gasped as she opened a pair of silver dainty earrings.
"Are these real?" She asked in disbelief.
"Of course, my baby deserves the best." He said and she looked at him in shock.
"Thank you, babe, you didn't have to do this. Any of this. But I'm thankful you did, I may not like my birthday but you sure know how to make me feel special." She said and moved to his lap.
"I'm glad baby," He said then brought his lips to hers.

(You can imagine what happened next )
