Assisting Miss Yu - Winrina

Chp. 54

I was currently dragging my feet across the street to the softball field where I would assist the softball girls once again. I didn't want to be here, but the only thing I ever looked forward to was seeing Karina, so being out in the thirty degree weather would be worth it.

At least that's what I was saying now.

I rounded the corner and onto the field, seeing her talking with coach Lee and then glancing over to me. She was bundled up with thick sweaters and a beanie, her hair pulled back in a low pony-tail to keep it out of her face.

Then the familiar feeling came to me and suddenly I grew hot under her short gaze. I had never gotten too flustered by a girl, I always seemed to manage my cool and collected state, but it was different with Karina. I didn't know why, but analyzing it would only confuse me further, and I really didn't want that.

I knew I felt different about her and that was enough for me, at least for right now.

Then before I knew it I was bombarded by three or four girls, and two of them were Yeji and Becca. I heard Yeji's voice first, "How was your week long break? Does your head still hurt?"

I looked at her, "You sound so worried."

She smiled, "You know I'll always be worried."

Then I looked into Becca's eyes, seeing a ray of excitement, "Glad you're okay."

I smiled at her, "It wasn't that bad, honestly. I just had a concussion."

Yeji shook her head, "Just a concussion? Winter you dropped to the ground so hard when that ball hit you, we thought you died."

I rolled my eyes, "It'll take a lot more than a knock on the head to kill me."

Yeji and the other two outfielders left, leaving Becca and I alone to continue walking towards the dugout. She sighed, "So have you managed to talk to the mystery girl?"

I glanced at Karina who was glancing at me Becca, smiling, "I did, actually."

Becca curiously asked, "So how'd it go?"

I nodded, looking back at her, "Great actually, we admitted we both like each other."

Becca seemed to force a slight smile, but then covered it up with another response, "So are you two like a thing...?"

It was the ultimate question I had been so afraid of answering. Karina and I obviously weren't a thing but did we even want that? Did I want to have Karina and only Karina until she possibly didn't want me? It was a scary thing to think about, commitment I mean, and I wasn't the best at it.

But maybe I shouldn't think to rash considering the truth had only come out four days ago.

I shook my head, "No, but we're not rushing into anything."

Becca smiled, "Well that's good. Is she hot?"

I smirked slightly, glancing at Karina and taking in her full body, "She's so hot."

"Younger or older?"

I nodded, "Older, I can't be involved with younger girls anymore. They're too much drama."

Becca laughed, "You're telling me, I stopped fucking with high school girls a long time ago. Older women just do it better. She's in college? Working?"

At this point I felt like she was prying, but I didn't want to seem too rude. Becca was a cool girl and I didn't want to come off as a bitch, and telling her the truth felt too risky.

"College."

She nodded, "That's hot. Glad everything worked out for you," then she turned and ran off to the inner circle or infielders, leaving me alone.
