Isabella put a bag of popcorn in the microwave then went to her room to grab her favorite sweatshirt and some extra blankets and put on the movie.
"I think you have the wrong sweatshirt on," Patrick said as she brought the popcorn bowl.

Isabella looked down at her sweatshirt and laughed.
"Sorry, I may work for the Chiefs but I'm a Bengals fan. Plus this is my favorite sweatshirt." Isabella said and shrugged. She sat on the couch and placed the bucket of popcorn between them.
"You should get a Chief one. They're much softer." Patrick said Isabella just ignored him and hit play.

They were on the second movie and they had finished the popcorn. Isabella moved the empty bowl to the coffee table. She looked over to Patrick to looked half asleep. She felt a sting in her chest as she thought back to when they dated. Where she was curled up in his arms and he would play with her hair. Isabella tore herself out of her thoughts and tried her best to focus on the movie but it was hard when all she could think about was the guy next to her.

After they finished their marathon, Patrick was getting ready to leave and was putting his shoes back on.
" Again, sorry for falling asleep." Patrick apologized and then stood up.
"It's ok there were plenty of times back in the day were I fell asleep when we watched a movie," Isabella said with a smile.
"Remember that time you begged me to watch a dumb chick flick movie and you fell asleep 1o minutes in?" Patrick laughed at the memory.
"To be fair you ended up liking that movie." Isabella teased.
"I said it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I didn't like it." Patrick defended himself.
"Hm, sure..." Isabella said not believing him.
"Anyways, I had a lot of fun today... we should do this again." Patrick said Isabella nodded.
"Only if I can pay," She tells him.
"Not happening... I'll see you tomorrow." He said then hugged her. Isabella tensed at first but then hugged him back.

Isabella locked the door after he left. Then took a deep breath and pushed all her feelings away.
She folded all her blankets and cleaned up the snacks and drinks. After cleaning up Isabella tried distracting herself with her phone but it didn't work. She got out her notebook and started to write her feelings and turned them into song lyrics.

Isabellaaa📸💜
Well, it wasn't too much of a planned thing. And it went pretty good.

Isabellaaa📸💜
Fine, it was weird! I thought I was over him but... idk I'm afraid old feelings are going to cloud my judgement.

Is that a bad thing? Maybe he has changed.

Isabellaaa📸💜
He really hurt me Clare. I promised myself no matter how much he apologized I would never get back with him.

Clare!🌸🩷
Isabella... I know he hurt you but that was a long time ago. It really does seem like his changed. Maybe you should give him a chance.

Isabellaaa📸💜
I don't know Clare...

How about this... try being friends with him and if it ever turns to something more, talk it out. Or if he ever brings it up... let him talk. You deserve to be happy. And if he makes up happy then go for it.

The first game of the season was today and it was against the Texans. Isabella was excited for the first game but was nervous because Patrick's family was going to be there. When they dated, she had a pretty good relationship with his family, but she had not seen them ever since they had broken up.
"So after work what do you usually do?" Her co-worker Brad asked Isabella as they were standing on the sidelines.
"Go home and work. Or write." Isabella said while taking photos of the players warming up.
"What about you?" She said trying to be polite.
"Uh, go on a few dates. Go clubbing, get drunk. that's about it... you should come with." Brad said with pride. Isabella cringed.
"No thanks, I'm not a huge partier or drinker," Isabella said the scooted farther away from him but he followed.
"Oh come on... I could show you a good time." Isabella's patient was running thin and didn't like Brad's attitude.
"I said no thanks." She said firmly.
"Geez calm down. Suit yourself." He said then pulled out his camera.
Isabella rolled her eyes and then went back to taking pictures.

20-34 the Chiefs had won their first game of the season. Isabella smiled as she watched Patrick celebrate the win. After the field cleared out a bit Isabella saw Patrick with his family and walked over to them. Mia saw her first and pointed at her. She smiled and waved. Mia ran up to her and hugged her. Mia didn't have an older sister but loved it when Isabella would come over and play with her.
"Hey Mia, how are you?" Isabella said while picking her up.
"Good! I haven't seen you in a long time." Mia said And Isabella set her down.
"How have you been sweetie?" Randi asks her.
"I've been good... very busy," Isabella says.
"I bet. It's so good to see you. I hated the way things ended between you too." Randi said honestly. Isabella smiled uncomfortably.
"Mom," Patrick said.
"It's true Patrick... we thought you were the one. And don't get me started on that Brittny girl." Isabella looked at her feet not knowing what to do or say.
"I should go. I have a meeting that starts soon... it was nice seeing you guys." Isabella said and gave Mia one last hug and smiled at the rest.
She knew that Randi had no filter and liked to speak her mind but she was not expecting her to say that. Brittany was a sore subject for her and Patrick. She took a few deep breaths as she walked to her meeting.

Isabella walked out of the meeting room and saw Patrick waiting for her.
"Hey, I wanted to invite you to come celebrate the first win of the season with me and the team. We are going to the same bar as last time. " Patrick said Isabella thought about it then agreed.
"Oh, um... sure." Patrick smiled.
"Cool, I'll come pick you up at 8?" Patrick asked.
"You don't have to pick me up..." Isabella said not wanting to be an inconvenience.
"Your apartment is on the way and I don't mind," He said and Isabella hesitantly agreed.
"Fine, see you at 8." She said then walked to her car.
Patrick silently cheered as Isabella walked away.
