Sierra Lancaster has had an agonizingly mediocre life. She grew up in a happy home, made loyal friends, graduated college, and is now pursuing her dream of running her own bakery. Boring, right? A story like this wouldn't be one for the books. At le...

I grab both dresses out of the closet and hold them up in front of me. "Which one?"
"Like that'll help." Dani rolls her eyes. "We need to see you in them."
"Put them on," Harper agrees.
I groan and look back and forth between the two of them on my phone screen. "That's too much work. Just pick one."
Dani snorts. "It's too much working getting dressed up for a freaking red carpet event where you'll see the world's most famous athletes? Bitch, I might just strangle your ungrateful ass."
"Okay, you're right. That sounded totally snobby."
"Cut her some slack," Harper interjects. "She's freaking out because she's boss-man's date. Their relationship is going to go public today."
My mind spins with sudden realization and I gape at her. "What? No! That didn't occur to me at all, actually. It was more like to show cleavage or to not show cleavage? Harper!"
"Oops. Don't freak out!"
"Well, I am now!"
"This is a train wreck." Dani grins, popping a chip into her mouth. "This is exactly why I keep you guys around."
Her words don't even register to me. I'm too busy going just a tiny bit insane. "I haven't even told my parents yet. What if they find out? Of course they'll find out. Holden is the face of SFPM. He always makes it to the magazines. What if I end up in a magazine and they don't get my angles right?"
"Way to unleash the Kraken, Harps."
"He asked her to be his date two weeks ago! I thought she would have worked it out herself."
"Clearly I didn't!" I wave the dresses in the air. "These are not magazine worthy!"
"Great," Dani mutters. "You broke her."
Harper winces and comes closer to the screen. "Ser, you're going to be fine. Sports tabloids don't hit the stands until the next morning so just tell your parents when you get home tonight. That way they'll hear it from you and if you and Holden happen to make the headlines it won't be news for them. As for the dress, I'd go with navy blue satin. It really brings out your eyes."
"And your boobs." Dani grabs hers and pushes them up to her chin.
My heart rate slows down. They're right. No reason to freak out. He's a big deal in this industry and I'm there to support him. All I have to do is support him. I can do that, even if the territory comes with professional athletes and magazines and freaking red carpets.
