Diana and Andy were dating again for two months, although the first month they said they were just friends. But Andy had other things to focus on. It was the Super Bowl and the 49ers were playing the Colts in Denver. Andy haven't really seen her recently but she understood. Diana and her brother (now out of prison!) were in one of the luxury boxes at the top of the stadium Diana even agreed to wear a 49ers jersey (it was his a jersey with his number from his player days)
Joy and Fred watched from home. Fred's job with the team ended after the regular season (he wasn't high enough up in the team to get tickets anyway) Fred was very worried, when Andy announced his retirement many fans were angry.
He remembered some of the things fans had said. 'Whys he retiring! He's only like 35 or something!' 'We have been great! I mean he's won us a super bowl turned the whole team around' Andy had to win or the taunting would get even worse. There were also terrible rumors of the reasons of his retirement.
At halftime the 49ers were down two touchdowns, Andy was furious. His face was bright red and he was yelling. He had already broken a clipboard and knocked over two coolers of Gatorade. The half time show was Rhianna. Diana was very happy about that.
Andy must have said something in the locker room because the team came back fighting. But so did the Colts. It all came down to a 27 yard field goal. If they made this the Colts would win the super bowl, If they missed the 49ers would win. Everyone was on the edge of their seat. Somehow the colts missed it. And Andy had won his third Super Bowl!
They all ran on to the field, the crowd was amazed a pro missed that field goal. Up in the box Diana and her brother were celebrating with the others in the box. A security guard taped Diana on the shoulder. "Miss, Coach O'Gara has requested your presence on the field. "Seriously! Okay!" Diana went with the guard. It took a while for Diana to get down there and she missed a lot of excitement on the field.
The players poured Gatorade on Andy and he was to happy to be mad. He went to shake the opposing coaches hand and they congratulated him. An interviewer came up to him and tried to ask him questions but he could hardly hear over all the celebrations. He never really liked reporters anyway. He went to hug ever player and every coach, finally presented the Lombardi trophy. The quarter back was MVP and gave a speech.
Then Diana finally arrived, she was brought straight to Andy, the player noticed this. "Take it away Coach!" The player said smiling at Diana. He pulled Diana up to the podium with him. "Andy what are you doing?" She asked. He took the microphone.
"As many of you know this was my last game ever! Football has given me something that I could not have gotten any other way I love this sport and I love this team! I leave it with a heavy hart but capable hands!" The crowd started cheering.
"Now many are confused by my decision and there's been a lot of rumors… I want to put them all to rest." He turned to Diana. "This woman is Diana Gross. I've known Diana for almost eleven years. She's my best friend. My girlfriend and I brought her up here for a very special reason." He bent down on one knee and took out a small black box. He opened it. Inside was a beautiful 20 kt diamond gold ring. "I've been waiting so long to ask you this… Diana will you marry me?"
A million thoughts were going threw her head. She'd been wanting to hear him asked her that for years. He's so thoughtful. What if she said no just to mess with him. She couldn't wait to be Andy wife, she could not believe all that stood in the way of what she wanted for ten years was three little letters.
Although all those thoughts were going threw her head she only took her two seconds to answer. "Duh!" He got of his knee and kissed her when they broke the kiss she smiled at him. "You're all sticky!" She said jokingly. "You can blame these guys for that!" Andy said pointing to the team. "It's okay Andy!" Diana said smiling. "Man engagement ring and super bowl ring!" One of the players said. As they made their way to the locker room for more celebrations, they were greeted with congratulations from players and team workers (even from the other team) and fans in the stands. Diana's phone was buzzing like crazy but she didn't check it all night, she was to exited. This was a day he would remember forever, it was the best day of his life.
