Benny x Fem Reader // Play ball

Chapter 4

Previously: 

The conversation kept going from there. We talked about things from school to baseball teams, favorite music to favorite foods....

Still Y/n POV- continued version of chapter 3

"Well what about you guys, do you do any sports?" Benny asked, turning to me and Tessa.

Ham scoffed. "Benny they're girls, they-"

"I play soccer, and a little baseball." I replied, cutting Ham off from whatever he was gonna say. "I do swimming aswell." Tessa said, sitting up right from her previous position on sleeping bag. Ham looked at us in shock, as well as a few other boys. "Well alright then, mighty have to show us a little bit." Kenny chuckled. Benny nodded. "Yeah, that's pretty cool." 

"Wait wait- can y'all really play? Like- actually?" Squints asked. Me and Tessa looked at eachother and back to them. "Is that really such a surprise?" Tessa asked. "N-no, just curious." Squints shrugged. "Well, yeah I mean I've been playing for a few years, and Tessa has been on the swim team for a while too." I replied. Ham nodded, not looking up from the s'more he was currently making. "Nice" 

"Hey maybe y'all could come with us to the sandlot more often- maybe play a little bit." Benny said. "Really Benny?" Bertram asked. "Yeah! That's would be really cool, the more the merrier right?" Smalls added. Benny smiled and looked back to us. 

"Sure, sounds fun." I smiled, Benny smiling back. Some of the boys started whistling in background, and both me and Benny turned to them. "Shut up!" Benny yelled, making them laugh. Tessa was grinning like mad and I slapped her arm. "Ow- I was just kidding." She whined.

We kept talking like this for a while, and before we knew it it was almost 11:30. "We should probably go to bed soon, it's supposed to be really hot tomorrow and I don't wanna be hot and tired." Bertram said, getting into his sleeping bag. Everyone mumbled in agreement, slipping into sleeping bags of their own. 

"Night y'all"

"G'night"

"Night blockheads"

Those were some of the last things I heard before I started to fall asleep, the events of that day replaying in my head. 'I'm finally getting to hang out with Benny' I thought to myself, smiling. 

....

K so this next part is pretty cliche but um- yeah. Enjoy :)

Saturday, June 9th, 1962 

I woke the next morning on the floor, and it took me a second to remember where I was exactly. I glanced around the treehouse, the sun almost blinding me while doing so. I could hear some of the others chatting around me, and it was then when I noticed the arm draped over my waist. 

Now me, being half asleep and partially blinded from the sun, ducked my head back down and onto my pillow, and I turned slightly to look behind me to see who the arm belonged to me. And I never would have guessed, that it was the one and only Benny 'The Jet' Rodriguez. I blushed deeply at this realization, but decided not to do anything and just enjoy not only the extra sleep but also this moment. I stayed in that position for another 15 minutes or so, half asleep but too excited to actually go to sleep. 

I heard someone groan behind me, and a moment later I felt Benny's arm move back a bit. I turned slightly to see his eyes opening, and him looking up towards the ceiling. "Finally, the lovebirds woke up" I heard Kenny say behind us. I turned fully so that I was now resting on my back, and Benny had moved his arm aswell, much to my disappointment. "Yeah yeah- took ya long enough."
