Prohibitive nights

11

Benny trampled on me as I hit the sandlot and bursted into fits of laugher while saying , "the jet beats her again !! The crowd goes wild !!! Ahhhhhhh ahhhhhhh ."
I lay there laughing because he's running around like a complete idiot and I'm here watching not looking like anything less .
"Okay okay big shot , still waiting to see you in the big leagues ."
"You wait just you wait , you'll be front and center on the stands ."
I don't know what it was about that sentence , but the fact that Benny saw me in his future filled me up with a reassurance I didn't know I needed .
"Nah I think I'm going to be the one that's pitching ."
"Oh please McLennan you couldn't pitch if your life depended on it."
"Okay I know I'm not Kenny but I think I throw a pretty sick curve ball."
"Mhm okay whatever helps you sleep at night."
I tackled him to the ground and we started to laugh .
"Don't worry you are my best partner ."
I looked at him like I did the other day but this time I didn't notice I was doing it .
"What's wrong ?"
"Noth-nothing you're just really pretty ."
Shit.
I just called Benjamin Franklin Rodriguez pretty . I mean hot sure , handsome , fine , madly attractive , okay , but pretty .
"I'm nothing compared to you ."
"Uh-"
"So who wants to play some ball !!!"
Dammit ham.
The swift movement of Bennys torso meant that what he said didn't affect him and I'm just a distraction .

We all set up in our positions and started to play the game .
"You wanna pitch smalls ?"
"Uh-sure ."
Scotty never really pitched but he seemed to enjoy it and he wasn't half bad so Kenny would let him do it once in a while .
We rotated a couple times until the fireworks started and Bennys pitch was a tad sloppy . He was the best on the team but I like to think that on some nights I'm better . I took it as the perfect opportunity to get a home run . First ! My feet hit the ground only creating more momentum Second ! Third ! Almost there ! And HOME !
"DIANE GETS THE HOMERUN SHE BEAT THE JET ONCE AGAIN !!" I shouted as I circled around the Rodriguez boy . Until he took a hold of my torso .
"Oh shut up."
Electric , fascinating , awe-struck , perfect .
All were words that could describe the sensation I got once his lips were on mine .
The movement while our lips were interlocked , it felt like flying , I felt complete .
An unbreakable Sync , a flow of emotion , a half that filled another .
I mean what's a game without its players .
Benny without his Diane .
The McLennan without her Rodriguez .
The boy on the girls prohibited nights .

HEY ! I hope you enjoyed this story ! I am pretty proud of the outcome . I didn't want to add onto Diane's and Bennys story I think the fluff was just enough . I'm sorry if you expected more but I don't write that type of stuff . I do hope you found something in this story that you enjoyed though .
THANK YOU FOR ALL THE SUPPORT
