21 : Loose Lips Sink Ships

Sorry #44 but this girl is happily taken.

:•:•:•:•:•:

Aria sat in the WAG room waiting for Anthony after the game finished. She made friends with most of them by now and felt comfortable being in there alone without Margot this time.

Except tonight was a little weird because Giancarlo's new hookup was there, and now everyone was staring at her like how they did to Aria and Margot back in San Diego. It's a viscious cycle out there.

"Hey Ar, where's Margot?" Giancarlo almost whispered between his teeth looking around the room cautiously.

"She'll be right back, she's in the bathroom." Aria responded trying to fight her laughter after seeing the panic flush across his face instantly.

"Shut the fuck up. Didn't Anthony tell you?" Giancarlo swallowed hard as his face turned white. He took a deep breath and scratched his head.

The corners of Aria's mouth slowly began to crack and before you know it she was caught in a laughing fit.

"You fucking asshole." G said pulling her into a noogie.

"Owwww dammit! My hair Giancarlo!" She playfully unwedged herself from his hold and fixed her hair.

"It's okay, Volpe said he was gonna mess it up later anyways."

"Yeah yeah, go get your friend already she looks bored."

Anthony popped his head in through the door and called Aria so they could leave. She knew him well enough to know he was annoyed about something just by the look on his face. Perhaps that bobble he had in the 5th, or the two strikeouts. She wished he wasn't so hard on himself, and she knew better not to ask him about it. He would always come and talk to her about these off days when he was ready.

She walked to the door and was greeted with an impassive kiss in which she brushed off before taking his hand.

"So where's the ball?" He asked looking down at the ground as they walked through the quiet hallway.

Aria took a second to think about the question and came to a complete dead end.

"What ball?" She chuckled thinking he was fucking with her.

He grew more irritated, biting the inside of his cheeks as he turned to look at her with an annoyed look.

"Don't play dumb Ar."

She was baffled and taken back by his attitude.

"The ball that Julio tossed to you." His tone was sharp.

"Oh my god are you kidding me Anthony?" Aria snapped back. "I gave it to a kid sitting by us." She pulled her hand out of his.

"I don't know, you and Margot sure looked happy after he tossed it to you."

"We were laughing because I missed the fucking ball. I can't believe you're even giving me a hard time about this." Aria shook her head.

"I know what I saw Ar. How your face looked when you looked at him."

"Stop assuming."

The rest of the walk back to the car was silent. They forced fake smiles and friendly small talk with everyone they passed on their way out.
