It's been three weeks and my teammates still tease me about my blackout performance. the students finally decided it's time to give it a break and move on. I really don't remember much as I was far gone to the music. All I could remember was them blue eyes. Today is an away game vs. a very good university with money, four hours drive. We're all in our Cray hound bus seats, comfortable as can be. working on our online homework, using the bus wi-fi went it wants to works. The bus driver was kind enough to let us listen to our music on the bus using our phones and aux cord . Beyonc'e formation come on and we all start doing the moves to the song. By the time we made it to our final destination we were all loosen, pumped and excited for some sun and dirt. We all got off the bus leaving all our school bags in the bus, taking all our softball gears with us looking for the visitors locker room. Twenty minutes or so later we all make our way to the field with two hours before first pitch. Getting started with our warm up routines. Hitting, throwing, pitching and catching.. Pulling out my phone to see how much time left. I saw a text from my dad. Big smile making its way to my face. It read. Will you come out and wave at us already! We miss our sugar nut Princess laughing emoji. Still holding my phone in hand I walk out the dugout looking up to find my family. Wow what a turn out, tons of people are here to watch the game. Still looking around I finally found my dad doing a funny face at me with hand up doing the silly Gorilla dance. I laugh and wave at him and the rest of my family that are now waving back at me. I blow them kisses before going back to the dugout. "Work"by Rihanna start playing on the stadium speakers and my team automatically stand up making a line, One at a time entering the field showing their dances moves and skills heading to the field or 3rd base where our coaches were still talking to each. slowly turning into the most EPIC dance off with the other team making the game every more intent.
Being the visitors team we bat first and very excited to show them what we got. It's now the bottom of the fourth innings and still no scores. We're so determine to win this game with no error. Two runners on second base and third base Brown hand up in the air showing two finger as Two outs, yelling out, lets find a way to get an out . A line drive was hit going fast and low between Storm and Ryder just before Ryder was about to snatching the ball into her glove it hit a hard dirt and it went over her left shoulder bringing in 2 runs for them and runner on first base. The fans cheer loud celebrating. Nothing you can do about that Shake it off and get the next one. I yelled out giving them a encourage talk and in the same time "lets hold them" look. number seven was up on bat. on the second pitch she swing hitting a foul ball going a little high giving me time to dive for it taking out the dugout fences falling to the dirt, I roll to my side sitting on the dirt, lifting up my glove showing the ball secure in my glove. The crowd cheer louder and the loud announcer, Great play by first base Grey number one. Storm ran over giving me a hand to get of the dirt. We ran in the dugout with the rest of the team feeling many hands slapping me in good job! I hate two outs it always find a way to mess up everything. We bat good but not enough to put score a run on the score board. Our defense was strong and fast glove and we were able to hold them this long. We are now on top of seven inning and the scores are still two nothing home team. We have a runner on third base and first base and I'm up to bat as the fourth hitter of our team with one out. The coach gave me the bunt signal and I nod in understanding move the runners. I did my setup end it with a slap to my right thighs as to remind myself bend my leg as I hit. The pitcher look at me getting ready to wine her arms so I load up watching the green ball coming out of her hand, The pitch was perfect just the way I like it. I couldn't hold back and follow the coach call but swing at it pushing on my hips hard giving all I have. It hit the sweet spot of my bat and travel all the way over the middle field fence a home run. I start running but not too fast a little sad I didn't follow my coach order. The first base coach gave me a high five and a slap to my helmet as I pass him. I can hear the crowd cheering and my brothers whistling very loudly. I finally got to third base mouthing the head coach "I'm sorry". Coach pat the top of my helmet both hands going up for high ten"nice hit" Miss Grey! I continue running feeling a little better seeing all my team mate are waiting for me on the home diamond cheering me home. They all tap my helmet and slap my ass way to get yours Grey! awesome hit, way to work that bat and so on.. I went in the dugout took off my helmet grabbing my water bottle and took a gulp. I put it back down and grab my infield glove walk over to join the rest of my team. I look up to see the scoreboard lighting up with 3 visitor 2 home. I smile and start getting loud cheering our hitters on. Unfortunately we didn't put up any more score. We all ran in with all in same page to hold them. first hitter hit it right to me coming hot and fast a little high that I have to jump up a little to snatch it out the mid air. One down, two to go. The pitcher took care the second hitter with a strike-out. The next hitter hit it out field and got on first base. Brown yelled out, this is the one, nothing pass you. a line-drive just a little passing first and second base move the runner from second base the fans are cheering and shouting .taking a deep breath of dirt air I put up my hand in circle motion running over to our pitcher same time all of the infielder met us on the pitcher mound. Your doing excellent job pitching changeup and Brown keep up that wall. lets do this ladies, lets play like what we are Are's warriors! Now get this work done. back to all position down and ready Another line drive was hit going strong and fast passing second base short stop sending runner to new bases. I bit my lips not liking the way is going grruuue I hate two outs. Number nine was up to bat Taking two extra steps creeping up The hitter swing hard but hit it wrong that it hit the dirt hard coming back up to the air and my way, I ran with quick hands got it mid air and toss it home to finish the game. The Blue did his little leg Elvis shakes and hand dance your OUT!. My teammates start jumping throwing their gloves up in the air cheering on victory. Brown got up game ball still in hands. Dropping it on the dirt and jump on me. We did Grey!!! We got back to our dugout after shaking hands and exchange 'you did good' or 'good game'. Getting all our staff back in our bags ready to hit the road. I told my team I be back, I need to say hi to my family. I ran out the dugout looking for my family going up the side of the stadium stairs I can see my family hanging around talking. I yell out dad! He turn around my sugar nut princess, I ran jumping on him like in eight again giving him a bear hug. I miss you old man. Thanks for coming. My dad squeeze me a little before letting go. I think your a little too old to be carry by your dad don't you think? Liam! jumping on him he spinning me around hello little sis, miss me much? when did you get back?

I gave my big brother and wife a hug and thank you for coming. but I have to get back and make sure I have everything in my bag. I'll be back for spring break waving goodbye. They all yell out love you too. I ran back down the stairs making my way back to my team. I pass a someone carry standing leaning on the wall holding a water bottle in his hand. good game Grey, why is that voice so familiar? Looking at where the voice came from I saw a very attractive guy with blue eyes oh my I'm a sucker for blue eyes. Just like my beautiful stranger. I said thank you and continue making my way and that's went it hit me. I stop walking and turn around. My beautiful stranger gorgeous eyes were on me. Those blue eyes absolutely stunning gosh Jesus he even has the perfect smile to match, and now he is coming taking big steps my way. I was motionless smiling like a stupid idiot, my palms start getting sweaty, my heart racing and my voice caught within my chest. not knowing what to say or do I lift up one hand and wave, Hey you!. Before I know it He hugged me and I was in heaven in his arms. I went on my toe hugging him awkwardly getting high on his delightful scent. He let go a little too fast for my liking.

I think it hit him what he just said out loud that he start rubbing the nape of his neck letting out an empty laugh bringing his hands up to him face. Sorry I didn't mean to creep you out with that sexy part comment. 'Slap me'he even has an foreign accent as he's from Australia. Kicking invisible air rock looking up with a wry face expression with sorry look. Oh no what was he saying?

Just in case I need some softball basic questions you know. he put his hands inside his jean front pockets looking very shy. It's always good to have a friend I can call on for help with a smirk on his face. Biting my bottom lip pretending to think with the one finger on my cheek.
