Good Enough - Willson Contreras

For -bpelkey18

Brooklyn's POV
Willson Contreras was as humble as they come. He's an amazing catcher, energetic, young, handsome, and a fantastic batter who brings so much to the Cubs. A lot of the times though, he couldn't see all of that. A 16-4 win against the Arizona Diamondbacks had all the guys celebrating, with Rizzo having a 'the Cubs are back' interview after the game. We all felt it that night, the same feeling we got at the nationals games before the World Series, like we couldn't be stopped. The next however, we lost 0-3 followed by a 8-10 loss the day after. Most of us shrugged it off, while others were pissed off, but one person in particular was disappointed. Wilson hit two home runs that night, having 6 RBIs. If anything, he was the reason we were on the board and had a shot at winning the game. With the loss of the game however, Willson wasn't proud of himself like everyone else was.

After the game, Willy, who's been my boyfriend for 2 years, was interviewed. I was in the clubhouse, getting his things together during the interview, so I was oblivious to the questions asked and the answers told. As the interview ended, willy came down, smiling when he saw me. "Hola, hermosa." He murmured as he kissed my forehead. I rolled my eyes with a laugh. "Hey, handsome." I replied back with a huge smile. "I'm so proud of you. You did amazing tonight!" I said happily, standing on my tip toes to peck his cheek. He gave me a half hearted smile, but did not reply, and instead walked over to his cubby to grab a few things. He then walked back to me, intertwined our hands, and walked with me to our car to head home.

The ride home was pretty silent besides the music playing quietly in the car. I tried to start conversation but Willy would only give me short answers, if any reply was made at all. This had me worried, considering his mood was so light earlier. Once we were pulled into the driveway, Willy ran to my side of the car and opened the door for me. I blushed lightly, still getting butterflies as if it was our first date. I climbed out the car, kissing him quickly as I passed. This got a small smile out of him, which made me more hopeful. Once inside the house, Willson went to our room to change into some more comfortable clothes while I sat down on the couch, deciding to go through social media. Once I got to twitter however, my heart dropped. Apparently, during his interview, Willson believed he could've done more to help in the game and that he didn't do enough. I read the headline over and over until I finally slammed my phone down on the couch, standing up, and swiftly walked to our room. I slammed the door open, seeing my boyfriend with only basketball shorts on. He turned around and looked at me in surprise. I took a moment, trying not to get distracted by his bare torso. I closed my eyes and shook my head, ridding any inappropriate thoughts. "How could you?" I started. Willy looked at me in confusion. "How could you think so little of yourself all the time after you give your all?"

"You continuously amaze everyone around you, showing us all what you can do and proving anyone who ever doubted you wrong, but all you can look at is what you didn't do. Tonight's game was amazing because you made it amazing! You had two home runs! You brought in 6 runs, babe! You gave us a real chance to win tonight, that should count for something, huh? So what if we didn't win? It's not always a given, but you did your best, which is really the best, and you had fun doing it. There's always tomorrow. Now stop doubting yourself or I-" In a couple of quick strides, Willson was in front of me, grabbing my hips and kissing me passionately, cutting me off mid sentence. I relaxed into the kiss, a small smile forming on my lips. Butterflies erupted in my stomach as my heart beat quickened. How could he make me feel like I'm in high school all over again after being together for 2 years?

We both finally pulled away, needing to breathe. I kept my eyes closed for a few seconds more, soaking up the feeling, before fluttering them open to see Willy staring at me with all the love in the world. "Have I told you how in love with you I am and how much I appreciate you? Because you have no idea how incredibly happy you make me feel." He whispers to me, trying to make our moment last longer. "I guess the same could be said about you." I whispered back, biting my lip to contain a huge smile. Willson glanced down at my lips and then back up at my eyes. "What did I say about that?" He asked with a suggestive twinkle in his eyes. I blushed once again, smacking him lightly on the chest. "Shut up." I mumbled with a laugh. He wrapped me in a hug, resting his head on top of my own. "Seriously though, I love you." He said, all joking aside. "I love you too, Willy. I hope you can see yourself how I see you one day."  I said hopefully. He only stayed silent. I could hear his heart beat quicken in his chest as we stayed in the hug, causing me to knit my eyebrows in confusion. I lifted my head off his chest to question him but was cut off before I could get a word out. "I can't do this..." Willson mumbled. My heart dropped at those words. "W-what?" I asked fearfully.

"I can't wait any longer." He clarified. We pulled away from each other, Willy looking at the ground as if nervous about something. My confusion only deepened as he dug something out of his pocket. He held the object up in his hand for me to see. It took me a moment to realize that he was holding a beautiful diamond ring. I looked from the ring and back to him, not understanding what was happening. "I had a whole thing planned out, you know? A nice dinner, maybe a picnic at Wrigley while the sunsets behind the stadium, the guys coming out maybe to help out, but right now, this is the perfect moment, where I haven't felt more sure about anything else in my entire life." He continued on. He then sunk down to the floor, getting on one knee and holding the ring up. I gasped lightly, me eyes immediately brimming with tears. "Will you marry me?" He asked simply, no other words being needed. The look in his eyes as he looked up at me said it all.

I nodded quickly, letting the tears fall as I smiled happily, reaching my arms out as a gesture for him to hug me. Willy let out a shocked laugh, standing up immediately and hugging me. He picked me up in the process, spinning me around, causing me to squeal in delight. When he set me down, our lips immediately met in a sweet kiss. It didn't last as long as the one earlier but it didn't need to. We pulled away, both looking down as Willy grabbed my hand gently, and slipped the diamond ring onto my ring finger. "I can only hope I'll make you the happiest wife in the world and that I'll be a good enough husband." He murmurs to me. I nod my head softly. "Trust me, you will be."
