Before UFC 290

I was no stranger to fighters trying to flirt before a big fight.,At my job i've had heard it all some comments were rude, some sweet some I didn't mind Dricus Du Plessis being one of them. “hi Dricus" I said mic in hand “hi!" he said and smiled "how are you? how are you feeling going into this fight?" "I'm good I feel really good!". The interview went on for about 45 minutes before I asked "Any last words before you step into the cage?” He smiled widely“Yeah. If I win this fight… how about you and I go out? on a date" I smiled and giggled “how about you win the belt first" Dricus chuckled and shook his head “Alright deal” he stuck his hand out which I shook "deal" I blushed.

I now sat in the living room of me and Sean's shared apartment editing my video, Sean texted a bit ago saying he was gonna pick us up dinner before he came home. I hit posted just as Sean walked through the door "hey" I set by laptop a side "hey" he set bags on the corner. "how was your interview today?" he asked "good,your training?" I nodded taking a bite of my food "good nothing to crazy" I nodded "I have to do your interview for fight Saturday and then I wanted to see if you wanted to go to UFC 290 with me?" "yeah tomorrows good and sure why not free tickets" he shrugged "cool" I smiled. He grabbed his phone "what the fuck is this?" he said and chuckled "what?" " 'people think Dricus is fighting for the belt but really..he's fighting for' and then a photo of you " he looked over at me "what? let me see!" I leaned over looking at his phone yep it was me "then a clip of you saying you'd give him a date if he wins the belt" he raised his brows "let me live a little" I chuckled "with that guy" I chuckled "stop".

UFC 290

"Dricus!" he turned in the hall towards me with a smile "one sec," he told the guy he was talking to I smiled "Y/n hi!" "hi! congrats!" "thank you, happy to see you out in the crowd" "was happy to watch" I smiled and blushed slightly "can I get your number? you can have it for interviews down the road" "yeah" I took my phone out of my purse and handed it to him "whenever you need it" he handed it back to me I smirked "I'll keep it in mind" "sounds good" "safe travels back home...was happy to see you'll have a title fight soon" he smiled "me too" "bye dricus" I smiled and walked backward "bye Elani" my head tilted and my brows went together.

"you ready to go?" Sean asked I nodded. he opened the door for me "thanks" I got in and pulled my phone out typing in 'what does Elani mean in south Africa? Beautiful' I smiled and dropped my phone in my lap "what?" Sean asked "nothing" I started putting my seat belt on.

UFC Start of the Year Press Conference

DDP and Izzys fight fell through in September letting my brother Sean step in and get the Belt but now DDP is fighting my brother in January. So now i'm at the presser O'mally, volk and Sean on one side and DDP, illia and Chito on the other. I sat front row Strickland shirt on, it had been a year and a half since me and Dricus's stupid bet and nothing really came from it maybe a couple flirty texts or DMS but that's really it. Dricus gave me a slight wave which I gave back, "gosh i'm so glad you came" I told KJ when she sat next to me "yeah I knew it would be hard your boyfriend and brother-" "shut up," I laughed "he's not my boyfriend" she chuckled.

"you think your dad beat the shit out of you your dad doesn't have shit on me i'm gonna show you what it's like-" I got up walking to the back. "i'll see you later I gotta work on some stuff" I told Sean "oh okay yeah see you later. your good?" "I'm fine yeah" I smiled "K love you!" he hugged me "love you". "hey Y/n!" Dricus said coming up to me "hey" I handed Chitos manager notebook for date for the interview i'm gonna have with him "what you mad at me?" "thanks" I said and smiled to the manager then he walked away "y/n" "yes i'm mad at you" "about the presser?" "yes about the presser that was rude and uncalled for" "i'm sorry okay it's trash talk that's what we do. your brother does it to me!" "he said your coach kisses you which he does..kinda weird" "i'm sorry okay? i'm in Vegas for a couple days i'll make it up to you" "I don't know" "come on" "maybe dricus maybe" I said walking away.

I sat on my couch in my house down the street from Sean's new house.

Dricus: can we meet up? please?

I sighed Y: fine

Dricus: wanna go to dinner?

Y: I don't want people to see us...come over park in the garage

Dricus: see you in a bit

I opened the garage door after he pulled in "hi" "hi this isn't a date" I said pointing my finger at him "this is a make up to keep the bet" I smiled "yes..come in". We were playing cards at my dining table remarks were said back and fourth "I gotta ask" "okay" he nodded putting another card down "you gonna bring this up at the next presser? " no" "i'll kill you if you do I swear" "I know you will" he smiled.

UFC 297

"fuck" my head went down Dricus had done it, he beat Sean or so the fucking judges would say I think it's bs but who cares what I say. Me, KJ, my brother Lawrence and his wife Kelsi got up going to the back locker room. "hey!" I gave a sad smile "hey" "good job you okay?" "i'm fine yeah don't worry about me" he pulled me into a side hug.

"we're heading back to the hotel you coming?" Lawrence asked "no still on the clock should be done soon going back with Megan" he nodded. Me and Lawrence were never as close as me and Sean but we were good. I stood in the hall clipboard in hand, making sure to write down anything I thought was notable. He stopped in front of me “So… what about now?” I tilted my head " no" “You said get a belt. I got one,” He patted the title “That mean I get a date?” "I don't think you won" "the judges say I did" I shook my head "its all about me" I chuckled "we had a bet" “Tell you what you defend that belt then we’ll talk” Dricus exhaled a laugh shaking his head “You don’t make this easy huh?” “Not at all you didn't win defend it" "okay fine deal"

UFC 305

But now everyone wants to know why they haven't had a date or if a date would ever happen. I kept telling my family never but me and Dricus knew if he won there would be a date

I showed up to his training session for our interview today "hi" I smiled setting my camera up as he up to me "hi" he smiled hugging me "nice to see you" "you too".

"hi! I'm Y/n Strickland and I'm here with Dricus Du Plessis!" I said pointing over to him "hi" he said "dricus is gonna show me some of the sparring he's using to train for his fight at UFC 305!" I smiled. "you want black gloves?" his think south African voice asked "anything's fine" I smiled he nodded and grabbed wraps and a pair of gloves ""sit right here and i'll wrap your hands" "k" I said and sat down. he sat across from me and started wrapping my hands "thanks for doing this for me" "yeah" he smiled slipping gloves on to me. “You sure you want to do this?” Dricus teased "your just scared i'll beat you” "yeah right" I laughed and kicked his side.

Dricus went down and took me down "Dricus!" I lalughed I tried to move out from under him but he moved his arm locking me in, I sighed 'giving up' I used the back of my hand to move hair out of my face. He stayed there looking down at me, right at that time I knew this part of the video. I leaned up and kissed his cheek "you getting closer to that date"

"you ready for that date?" Dricus said from behind me after the fight I smiled before turning around "great job" I wrapped my arms around his neck his my waist "and yes you get your date" I added "tonight?" "that edge?" "yeah i've been waiting for like a year and a half" I chuckled "dinner i'll come to your room at 7" I nodded "sounds good" I kissed his cheek.

"wow" he said when I opened the door of my hotel room "what?" "you look great" I blushed "thank you" I smiled "come on" he put his hand out which I took and we walked to the elevator "sorry you look good too" "thanks" he smiled. The elevator opened to three teenage boys, I dropped his hand a moved away slightly "Dricus! dude we just watched you fight!" they said all getting they're phones out "your Sean Strickland sister! wait are you to dating" I laughed nervous "no," I looked to dricus "i'm going to dinner I don't know what he's doing" I shrugged "well can we get photos" "yeah" I smiled.

"Du Plessis please" he smiled at the hostess "this way" she smiled, "I got us a room in the back so no one can see us" "thank you" he pulled my chair out. "why'd you wanna work for the UFC?" he asked I sat my fork down "um I don't know really, i'm really close with Sean so I just wanted to have a thing with him I guess but I love it get to meet people travel it's great" "well your good at it" "thanks and I know like everything about you it's my job," he chuckled "but tell me about South Africa I haven't been there before" "oh it's beautiful-".

I held his hand on the walk back to the hotel his jacket over my shoulders, "heels suck your lucky you don't have to wear them" I said looking up at him "why do you wear them?" "it kinda adds to my vibe and job I guess" he chuckled "yeah and I just get punched in the face as my job" I laughed "sorry yeah your is worse".

Elevator Out Of Service. it read "damn it" I sighed "come on stairs are over here", "after you" he said "no" he chuckled "no?" "your not watching my butt when i'm going up the stairs you go" "so you can look at my butt?" "duh". "oww" I whispered stepping down with my heels only on the third floor "you good?" "y-yeah i'm good". "you've been gasping or whispering every step" he said "its these heels get going" "come on" he picked me open I yelled slightly "Dricus you just fought someone i'm on level 10 you not carrying me" "oh but I am" I sighed and laid my head on his chest "thank you".

"thanks again" he set me down "of course" his hands on my waist "I had a great night" "glad to hear I did too" my hands moved up his biceps to the side of his cheeks, he leaned down and kissed me.

UFC 312

Y/ns Camera Roll

We had kept it low-key. No public posts, no interviews hinting at out relationship. I don't think i'll ever be ready to tell my brother this week has been hard for me. But now my mind wasn't racing I was in my in my hotel room bed my head on Dricus chest, my leg over his waist his arm around me as a movie played on the TV. The past 7 months I've fallen in love with him, everything about him four months into our relationship I went on a trip to South Africa that's when I told him how much I loved him he said the same. "i'm so tired i'm gonna fall asleep" I said yawning "sleep my love" "you gonna be here when I wake up?" I asked he kissed my head :yeah no more training today" just as he said that a knock came to the door "towels" I said "I got it" he took the blanket off him, his sweats hanging low on his waist.

"what the fuck" Sean's deep voice said then a pop I got up going to the door Sean did punch dricus but dricus just stood there "hey no Sean babe go back to-" "babe? are you fucking kidding me?!" "Sean it's" "no fuck this" he walked away "Sean! fuck" I grabbed my shoes putting them on "babe i'll be back" I leaned down kissing him as he sat on the bed "okay my love i'll be here".

| 3rd Person POV |

Y/n knocked on Sean's hotel door and KJ opened it "he doesn't want to talk right now" "kj come on let me in" KJ nodded and opened the door. y/n sat on the coach next to her brother "your mad at me" she said "of course my fucking mad at you" her knee went up and down "i'm sorry" "your fucking the guy i'm fighting" she sighed "...he's my boyfriend" he scoffed a laughed "yeah right" "7 months" "I can't believe you" he looked over to her "he treats me good Sean really good and i'm happy" he didn't say a word her heart was breaking, Sean was pissed but he could tell his sister was so upset he couldn't just deal with it "i still hope you beat the shit out of him" she whispered he still did nothing. "k sean" she stood and walked to the door "we're good" he said she smiled back at him. "how'd it go?" Dricus asked " I don't know" she wrapped her arms around his neck, they got back in bed "it will work out" he said rubbing her shoulder "maybe yeah" she rubbed his chest "it will" he kissed her head "love you" she leaned over and kissed him "I love you too"
