As the players, coaches, and families of the Knights youth travel baseball team gathered in the hotel lobby before the first game, there was a buzz among the adults about something that had happened the night before. Rumor had it that some incident had been captured during the night on a closed-circuit video camera overlooking one of the baseball diamonds. Somehow, word about the footage had gotten out, and speculation was running rampant.
The story spreading was that, despite the darkness, it was clear that an indistinguishable man and woman had been having a rather erotic fling in the darkened outfield until the sprinkler system chased them away. The story only got more sordid as it spread, although nobody other than the people in charge of the facility had actually seen the footage.
Apparently, the camera didn't reveal anything that would readily identify either of the participants, but Jack and Bethany took extra precautions.
Bethany let her hair down, undoing the customary ponytail she usually wore with her Knights cap. She had been sporting the ponytail the night before and didn't want anyone putting two and two together, identifying her as the woman in the video. A pair of sunglasses helped, as well. She wore her oversized Knights sweatshirt which hung loose on her shoulders, effectively hiding her trim figure.
Despite their angst at possibly being discovered, Jack and Bethany mingled with the other parents and tried to appear as casual as possible. They did their very best to act as shocked as anyone else about the titillating video.
"Wow," Bethany said, as a group discussed what had happened. "With cameras on all the fields, you think they would have known better," she tried to sound stunned.
As Jack and Bethany continued chatting with others, they each felt a hand on their shoulders as someone approached them from behind. Turning tentatively to see who was trying to get their attention, they soon found themselves staring into the dazzling green eyes of Maria MacKimmie, the younger woman who had joined them for an impromptu threesome during the first trip of the season.
Stunned by her sudden unexpected appearance, they struggled for words and looked at her in dismay.
"I believe this is yours," she said with a sexy, devil-may-care grin as she held out the fleece bleacher blanket Jack and Bethany had left behind in their haste to leave the field the previous evening.
Still speechless, their minds raced with the implications of this revelation. Had Maria been there watching them? Had she told anyone it was them? And most importantly, what did she want?
"Oh, maybe I should just hold onto this for you," she suggested. "Never know when it might come in handy."
Jack and Bethany cautiously looked around to see if anyone else was watching. Seeing no one paying particular attention, they motioned for Maria to follow them to a quiet corner.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Jack asked, trying to keep his voice as low as possible. "Brian and I are rooming with Nic and your brother-in-law. We didn't think you'd even be here."
"Late arrival," Maria smiled. "Got my own room."
"And where did you get that?" Bethany added, referencing the blanket.
"Oh, this," Maria replied with mock innocence. "You know where I got this, don't you?" she teased. "It's just a shame you never even used it."
"How do you know we didn't use it?" Bethany asked, exasperated. "How did you even find it?"
"Oh, I was there," Maria admitted with pride. "I saw everything."
Jack and Bethany stood in stunned silence as they let that last comment sink in.
