Gamefield

Chapter 17

Friday morning I was woken up by sharp movement when Alex found out she has her arm around my body and her body pressed against my back.

„Hmm?" I turned to her still with closed eyes.

„Vicky!?" She looked shocked. „I'm so sorry!" Alex covered her face to her palms so I barely understood what she said. She babbled some kind of apology in incoprehensible way and I had to fully wake up to react.

„Alex...," she ignored me. „Alex!" I repeated loudly to get her attention. It worked. „Alex, calm down please because Meghan runs here with baseball bat!" I warned. „It's okay. Actually, you were cute yesterday," I smiled at her. She looked adorable even now.

„I broke the promise. I told you to respect you are with someone else and I didn't."

„You did nothing bad Alex. You were just snug and clumsy last night," I calmed her down.

„Oh my God. Sorry," she said again through the palms and I saw she's blushing hard on uncovered parts of face. I desired so much just catch her hands, put they away from her face and kissed her.

Okay girl, now you have a real problem. I just considered I'm in love with Alex and it seemed so right. To see her next to me in my bad ashamed for her behaviour, it was so cute and I felt so turned on that I had to get from the bed immediately to finish this situation.

„Alex, everything's fine. I'm glad you called me. You did nothing to be ashamed for. I asked you to stay, remember? And actually it was nice to have you here," I concluded and stood up next to the bed.

„And now, would you like to have an english breakfast?" I winked because I knew she won't be able to resist.

She sighed. „Okay. I have no other option, only trust you... and yes, I would be honoured."

I prepared bacon with eggs, sausages and toasts for me, Alex and Meghan when she'll wake up. Alex watched me and we small talked a little. Alex didn't want to tell me about yesterday conversation with Bailey.

„Don't ruin this moment," she whinned. „I'll tell you but I have to process it first."

I sighed and nodded in surrender.

Friday passed quickly. Winny had last encouraging speech on the meeting before the match and now it's happening. On Saturday morning I almost didn't eat. Winny insisted we have to have a breakfast so I tried my best. With Meghan's help and encouragement I finally made it.

Now I was in dress rooms with other teammates ready for my first match. I was nervous and nobody except other new girls understand it. Not even Alex who did a lot of performances last year. I did too on high school but there is the first one as catcher. I hoped all attention will be on pitcher.

„Okay girls? Ready?" Winny appeared at the scene in blue and white colours of our team. „Let's go to kick their asses."

We left the dress rooms together as team. Part of us continued to field and others to watch the match ready to alternate. We will defend first in the innings.

Weather was cloudy and not too warmy what was perfect condition for us. Alex pitched prodigiously and I couldn't contain myself but stare at her everytime it was possible. It seemed the pitching is her second nature.

After three hours we won this match with four points lead over the rival team. I made it too. Winny was glowing.

„Celebration party in The 33," Amy screamed excitedly in dress rooms.

The mood was cheery on our way to The 33. I took a shower and followed Mallory and Taylor. Not everybody could go to celebrate because of other duties and I was relieved when I noticed Bailey isn't going with us.
