My Chicago Boy *Jonathan Toews*

Baseball :)

When I woke up, I went to the kitchen and made a bagel. After eating, I took a shower and finished getting ready. I left the apartment at 11 and got to Grant Park at 11:52. The Stingers little league baseball players were coming to do some games and we were going to help them with pitching and batting techniques. When the kids got there, the mentors formed 2 teams with 3 mentors and 6 kids each. The other team beat us by 2 points. After the first game we took a little lunch break. When everyone was done we separated and taught the kids different batting and pitching techniques. We took a ten minute break before starting the next game. I went over to my bag to check my phone. Lauren texted me asking if I could get Jimmy John's for dinner. I replyed with a yes. Jon asked how my day was going.

'it's been good. I'm at Grant helping helping little leaguers.' I put my phone away and jogged back to the field. We re-picked teams and started playing. We had to do an 11th inning because we were tied. My team ended up winning this time.I was putting stuff in my bag before I headed to Jimmy John's and when I turned around I bumped into someone. I am such a klutz!

"I'm sorry." I looked up and instantly smiled.

"Is bumping into each other like our official greeting or something?" Jon smiled and laughed.

"Hi."

"What are you doing here?"

"I got yout text and I wanted to come see you. By the way nice home run out there." He smiled and winked at me.

"Well thank you." My phone started ringing so I answered it already knowing it was Lauren.

"Hello?"

"OMG I'm starving, where are you? It's 5:00."

"Calm down, the game just ended. Do you want your regular sandwich?"

"Yes, the #5, no mustard."

"lol yes ma'am.  I'll be home soon." We said bye and hung up.

"I have to get Jimmy John's so I can bring Lauren food before she eats the couch." Jon laughed and grabbed my hand.

"Jimmy John's sounds good right about now." We both walked to Jimmy John's and ordered what we wanted. Me and Jon argued for five minutes oved who was going to pay and finally I gave in because I was hungry. When we got to the apartment I threw Lauren her sub.

"It's about time!" Me and Jon laughed.

"I'm going to go wash my hands."

"Okay. I'll set your sub on the table." He sent me a silent thank you by giving me a smile. When Jon walked into the kitchen,  Lauren wiggled her eyebrows. I just laughed and sat down. When Jon came in, he sat next to me. We ate over a discussion about how our days had gone.

"So you guys have a game in Toronto Saturday and one in L.A. on Sunday?"

"Yep. I won't be back until Monday really late." I frowned hoping he wouldn't see it. Unfortunately he did. "But hey don't worry, we still have our dinner date tomorrow." He smiled which made me smile.

"and since I don't have anything going on Tuesday maybe the 4 of us can hang out?"

"The 4 of us?"

"Yeah, a certain Patrick Kane would not stop talking about how gorgeous and cool Lauren was." I looked at Lauren who was blushing bright red.

"Well I'm in the office from 7am-10am."

"And I have one photoshoot from 6am-10am."

"Ok so how about we meet up at my place and we can go down to Navy Pier."

"Sounds good." I smiled and Lauren just nodded because she had just taken a huge bite of her sub. After we ate, we sat in the living room and watched Impractical Jokers. Jon left at 10 because he had practice in the morning. Lauren was in the bathroom when he left. I walked him to the door and he pecked my cheek before he headed out the door. I went back to the couch still smiling like an idiot. When Lauren came back, she looked confused.

"Why are you so happy?"

"Jon left... and kissed my cheek..." Lauren shrieked and jumped on the couch and we talked about Kaner and Tazer. Lauren went to bed at 10:30 because she had to be up by 5:30am. I had to go to my favorite restaurant,  Luke's,  to help raise funds for cancer. One of the workers was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Once Lauren got off at 11 she was going to head over and volunteer with me. One of the workers, Lisa,  told me to come between 10 and 11. I was going to try and get there between 10:30 and 10:45. At 11:15 I got a goodnight text from Jon. I smiled and headed off to bed.
