Stevie was smiling as she felt the warm sun hitting her face. She was glad that Josh had asked to meet her on the field. It was a beautiful spring day and it was nice to not be stuffed up in an office. "Hey newb!" she heard Josh's voice call to her. Stevie turned to see Josh approaching in a muscle tee, and shorts that he was wearing over his workout leggings. "How long do I get to keep that term?" She chuckled. "Ah, until someone else shows up after you I guess...for now, you're the newest team member so you have to keep it." The two grinned and sat down on the field. They began going over plans for Josh's charity bowling tournament. Stevie walked through some plans that she had put together and reviewed a potential guest list with him. "Alright, newb, I gotta say I'm impressed." He laughed after they completed the agenda that she had brought. "I'm in good hands with this, aren't I?" He grinned. Stevie shrugged, "I just want to make sure everyone's happy with it, and that starts in the planning stages." Josh pouted his lips and nodded, "Well I appreciate that. You know what else I appreciate is that friend of yours - Allie." Of course, he couldn't stay serious for too long. "Well I appreciate her too, she's pretty awesome." Stevie smiled, "But by the look on your face, I'm guessing it's more than just her personality that you 'appreciate' so much" The two laughed, "Shhhaaawwiiiinggg" Josh exclaimed. Noticing that Russell had walked out into the bullpen.
Russell glanced across the field and couldn't help but get a tinge of jealousy when he saw who Josh was sitting with. He stood and watched them quietly for a moment, enjoying the sound of the laughter echoing through the field. She was beautiful. Every time he saw her, he was somehow surprised at how beautiful she still was. Perhaps he was hoping the feeling would go away? But here it was, stronger than ever and he couldn't help but wish that he was in his teammate's place.
Josh noticed Russell in the background as he glanced over Stevie's shoulder. Her back was to the bullpen so Russell was not in her line of site. "So you and Russ Sr huh, is that a thing?" He joked playfully nudging her shoulder. He noticed Russell turning and walking away after seeing him touch her, causing a smug smile to come across Josh's face. He was testing his teammate. He knew what he knew, but more proof made him feel good about his instincts. "Haha, well he's pretty amazing but the age difference might be an issue." Stevie laughed. "We have a meeting tomorrow about a kid's group that is coming to the game...and he's already insisting that we do it over breakfast, and I never say no to food." She chuckled. Josh smiled, "So you'll be at the game tomorrow?" He asked. Stevie nodded. "What about tonight?" "Well, actually I was thinking of staying for the game tonight, and um, Allie might-" before she could finish Josh reached into his back pocket and pulled out tickets. "If you two are coming to the game, you should take these!" He exclaimed. Stevie hesitated, "Oh, Josh, you don't need to do that, I'm happy to just grab so-" before she could finish he insisted. "Seriously, I want you to, it'll be a good motivation for me if you bring her....gotta bring the rain so I can seduce your bestie." He half joked, flexing his pipes. Stevie laughed and snatched the tickets from him. "Well I'll put in a good word for you then, in exchange."
