The Bet

"I was going to suprise you"

"Buster what is this?!" I yell as I invite myself into his place and hold up the invitation I found with my mail for some MLB Draft Party for him and Joc.
"What?" He looks up from his cereal and squints a little like it's gonna help him see it better.
"Hm I don't know. 'Join us (Buster and Joc) for our MLB draft party this Saturday at 6pm'"
"Oh that. Yeah, are you coming?"
"Were you gonna tell me you might get drafted first!!"
"Well I was going to suprise you but I guess Joc didn't understand that"
"Whatever. I'll be there"

"Babyyyy answer the dooooorrrr" I hear Buster whining and he knocks more.
"Are you going to get that?" Grace asks, looking up from her laptop where we are sprawled across the sofa, her in a sleeping Joc's lap.
"Nope just let him be"
"What happened?"
"He didn't even tell me he might get drafted. What if he has to leave to some other state? I actually love him. I don't want to face him leaving"
"Well, as Joc explained to me, they get drafted but they still get to finish out this school year before leaving"
"So we just push off the inevitable that's great"
"Sam I can hear you!! Let me in!! I love you too!!" Buster yells and hits the door harder. I hear the neighbors hit the wall that seprates our two apartments and groan knowing I have to let him in now before they ask us to leave.
"It's unlocked!! Has been this whole fucking time!!" He seems to test the handle before coming in with a little chuckle.
"That would've been nice to know"
"Nah you were better outside"
He sighs and runs a hand over his face before they both sit on his hips.
"Samantha please hear me out this is just a mix up" He begs and stares down at me.
"Do you guys a minute?" Grace asks already starting to put away her computer.
"No it's fine" I tell her.
"Yes please Grace don't listen to her" He counters and she smiles and turns to Joc.
"Babe cmon let's go to my room" She tugs on his arm and he whines but lazily gets up and follows her. They get to her room and Buster sits next to me.

"Baby I promise I was gonna tell you, literally I was gonna tell you tonight at dinner I wanted to make it special and try to make it up to you because I knew this could lead to problems"
"Okay but Buster we've only been dating for like 3 months I'm nothing compared to your baseball"
"That's where you're wrong!! Samantha I love you so much, more than baseball. I refuse to let whatever happens with the draft tear us apart"
I run my hands through my hair which seems to worry him as he takes my waist and pulls me into his lap.
"Baby all I want is you, if I get drafted I promise to bring you with me wherever it may be and we can continue this love somewhere new"
"Buster I can't just leave everything I know here"
"Okay then I'll leave it up to you, you can do what you want and I will support you but we will not be breaking up" He kisses down my neck, nuzzling his face into me.
"Babe I love you so much" I mess with his hair and smile against his head.
"I love you too Samantha"
