As I sat on the photographer section of the Phillies dugout, the cold breeze nipped at my skin; Of course I'd forgotten my jacket, and it was only the 6th inning. Deciding to just stick it out, I continued to snap pictures with my heavy camera. A warm embrace startled me as I turned to see J.T wrapping his jacket around me, noticing I was obviously cold. He smiled at me and I smiled back,
"Don't you have a game to win?" I jokingly asked.
"Don't you have pictures to take?" He mocked, before having to make his way back onto the field.
I spotted my lovely boyfriend in the dugout right after J.T left and before he noticed I was looking at him, he was looking at J.T, pissed. Maybe it was about the game? I didn't want to bother him about it until it was over. When he noticed I was looking, his face lit up, he looked over at me for a moment to give me a quick air kiss and I mouthed him "Good luck", we obviously couldn't kiss because of MLB policy, and the fact we wanted our relationship to be secret. As I snapped pictures of him walking off, my mind couldn't help but wander at the fact as to why he looked mad. I tried to brush it off, and continued to snap pictures of the players on the field.
If you hadn't guessed it already, I'm the photographer for the Phillies and I love my job. The best part about it is that I get to go to work with my boyfriend everyday; But nobody knows we're together, like I mentioned before. The only people who know are close friends and family, even though I consider JT a close friend, he doesn't know.
After the game, I waited for Kyle in the team's clubhouse looking through the pictures that I got on my laptop. I watched as each player came out from the dugout, I greeted them each. Once it got to Kyle, he told me he'd be right back and that he's gonna take a shower in the clubhouse to make it easier for him. Literally 5 minutes after Kyle left, JT came out of the dugout more excited to see me than it was to see him win an off-season game.
"Hey! Still cold?" He joked
"Oh yeah, here's your jacket, thank you again" I replied
"Oh, that's no problem. When a pretty girl is cold, I ought to offer my jacket. Did you get any good pictures?"
"Oh, yeah, I did. Do you wanna see?" I sat there and showed him all the pictures that I got over the course of the game, but my mind wondered. No man had showed interest in me since Kyle and I got together. I knew it'd happen at some point, I just didn't expect JT to be the man to do it.
"Hey, there's a lot of pictures of Kyle here, got anything to tell me?" He joked, not really expecting an answer
At that moment, Kyle appeared out of no where,
"Hey, you ready to go babe?" He asked, straight-faced
Shocked, I replied, stuttering "Huh- oh, yeah," I looked to JT, his face full of confusion, and said my goodbyes
Once we were alone, I started questioning.
"What the hell? Since when do you want them to know about our relationship?" I asked,
He turned to me and looked at me like his suspicions were confirmed, "Why? You got a secret boyfriend you don't want me to know about?" He joked,
"Oh shut up, what's got you to change your mind?" I asked
"Nothing, just the fact that almost all of the guys, some of which HAVE wives, blatantly flirt with you. I'm tired of it, I wanna show my baby off." He stated, making my heart melt, this was really the man I'd love to spend the rest of my life with. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and we continued our walk to our car.
Once we were home, I dropped everything and went to bed, I didn't even say goodnight to Kyle; I was so tired.
When I was asleep however, Kyle had very obviously been thinking about me because he decided to announce our relationship online to all of his followers. Well, not really announce, he just decided to make an "appreciation post for his favorite girl". There was a plethora of pictures of us, and just mostly candid pictures of me. The caption was, like I said before, "appreciation post for my favorite girl, Y/N".
Once I woke up, I was interrupted with so many notifications and texts that I think my phone might've crashed. As you know, I was sleeping, so this was unbeknownst to me.
"Good morning, baby" Kyle smiled, and since I'd just woken up I just mumbled.
My phone kept buzzing and buzzing, eventually pissing me off.
"God, what could be so important at 6 in the morning?!" I groaned, grabbing my phone.
I clicked on the notification and saw the post and scrolled through each image, I didn't once look at Kyle. I knew he was looking at me with a "told you so" face even though it hadn't been like that.
"Baby? Why'd you do that?" I asked,
"I wanted to show everyone that you're mine, and that stupid policies won't hold me back from showing my girlfriend off. I love you." He finished, leaning to kiss me.
I kissed him back and said, "I love you too, so much."
I looked back at my phone and acknowledged the text messages I'd received from the team, all supportive; But one caught my eye.
realmuto: "u and schwarb dating? i'm happy for you."
I don't know why, but it sounded so fake.
TIME SKIP
Stretching before the game, Y/N taking pics
I was up and moving while taking pictures to get better shots, and throughout my time JT hasn't said a word to me, and ultimately is avoiding me. I hope it's not anything about what Kyle had posted, if it was that, I'd have a problem.
Interrupting my thoughts was Bryce Harper,
"Hey, you ok?" He asked,
"Oh- um yeah."
"What's on your mind?" He asked, continuing his stretch
"Nothing really, it's just that JT has been ignoring me ever since Kyle posted those photos on Instagram, I thought we were friends." I responded, snapping away on my camera.
"Well, can I be honest?" he asked, and I nodded, "It was kind of a whole thing to the whole team that you were dating JT, even though you weren't. We didn't tell Kyle because he made it obvious he liked you, and we just didn't wanna hurt his feelings." He admitted, shocking me.
"Really? We were only friends.. maybe he got the wrong idea." I responded.
