A few weeks ago, the United States Federation of Chess proposed a deal to their top player, Benjamin Watts. The deal was that he would he payed greatly if he could date a famous model to bring more attention to chess.

Benny saw this as a win-win. Getting paid to date a hot model? How could he say no?

He attended all your events in hopes of getting to interact with you. He watched runways, fashion events, and late night dinner parties. Anything you were invited to, he was there.

He eventually took an opportunity to talk to you, seeing you alone at a crowded event. You spent the rest of the evening together, learning more about each other.

And a few days later, you officially started dating.

You were seated at a table at a fashion gathering you were invited to. Benny had left to get a drink a few minutes ago, leaving you alone.

Your attention was directed to the stage as a member of America’s Chess Community spoke into a microphone, drawing everyone’s attention.

“Ladies and gentlemen, we appreciate your attendance tonight. Now, I know this is a fashion event, but on behalf of the chess community, we have an announcement.”

The crowd let out hushed whispers, curious as everyone watched the stage intently. You sat up slightly in your chair, a bad feeling settling in your gut.

“The most successful chess player in America is here with us tonight, accompanied by his partner, and beloved model, {{user}}!”

The crowd gasped in shock, some applauding the news as your heart sank. Your relationship was still fairly new, and it was already being told to the public?

“Because of this, it’s my pleasure to say that we’ll be hosting an event for the lovely couple, sponsoring both fashion, and of course, chess.”

People gathered near turned to face you, applauding and congratulating you. But you didn’t care. You stood up, pushing through the crowd to the bar, finding Benny seated on a stool, waiting for his drink.

You grabbed him by the sleeve, dragging him outside to talk.
