Dodgers Imagines

The Party (Corey Imagine)

Corey's POV
"Hey man, you should totally meet my girlfriend's best friend Y/N." Joc said over the music that was playing. "She's over there."
Joc led me over to where his girlfriend and her best friend who's name is Y/N were standing.
"Hey Joc!" She smiled giving him a side hug.
Wow, she's stunning.
"Hey Y/N, this is Corey. I'm sure you know Corey." He winked. Why did he wink? Does she like me or something?
"H-hi Y/N." I stutter.
Why am I so nervous? Maybe it's because she's so gorgeous.
"Come on love, let's leave these two to talk." Joc walks away winking at me. He's trying to set us up.
"Hi Corey. You're an amazing baseball player." She smiles.
"Wait, you've been to our games?" I ask.
"Yes of course. I'm a big fan on the Dodgers even before you or Joc were on the team." She laughs.
"That's cool. You're really pretty."
Pretty? Couldn't I have said something else? Pretty makes me sound like a middle schooler.
"Aww. Thanks Corey. You're sweet."
I felt embarrassed and awkward I don't know if she could sense it. I wanted so bad for someone to swoop in and save the day.
"Y/N, Corey come sit with us." Joc motioned.
Can he sense the awkwardness even though he's not that close to me?
"I'm going to steal Corey for a few minutes. You two talk." Joc said standing up and dragging me to the other side of the room.
"Dude, you looked so awkward and embarrassed. I knew I had to help you."
"I didn't know what to say." I said.
"You don't talk to girls much, do you?" He asked laughing.
"No. When I was with Madisyn I hardly talked to girls."
Madisyn was the only girl I really talked to except for my mom and Kyle's wife Julie.
"Well Y/N is really easy to talk to. She'll listen to anything you have to say and she laughs at almost everything." He paused. "It's kind of funny actually."
"What do I say?"
"Talk about baseball. She loves baseball. Or talk about Kannapolis, I think that's interesting. Like I said she'll listen to you."
We walked about to the couch where the girls were still sitting.
"Tell me Corey, how are you liking living in California? Isn't it different from North Carolina?" Y/N asked trying to make conversation.
Joc elbowed me as if it say 'Speak up!'.
"I love it here but it's a lot different. Sometimes I miss my brothers and parents but they come to visit and I go back to North Carolina during the holidays." I smile thinking about my family.
"That's cool. I've never been anywhere expect for Arizona and Alaska." She says.

The party was coming to an end. Joc and his girlfriend were dancing leaving Y/N and I by ourselves. I'd gotten to know Y/N a lot better. I thought she was a great girl. I'd love to keep in touch with her.
"Y/N? Do you think I could have your number?" I ask nervously, my hands shaking.
"Yes of course, I'd love to give you my number." She smiles giving me her phone. "Thank you for keeping me company tonight but I must get going. I live far from here." She says giving me a hug.
"Okay, thank you for keeping me company. I'll text you later." I said hugging her back.
"I'll be waiting." She laughs.
This may just be the start of a future relationship.
