When we were ready to start warming up, Y/N was given a helmet and a bat, but as soon as the bat was in her hands, she looked at me, so I jogged over to her, slowing down when I saw that she was doing the only bat trick she knows. The one she did when she was nervous. After a split second, I resume jogging, and look at her.

"What's wrong?"

"It's been six years since I set foot on a diamond, Ty. It's been just as long since I swung a bat." Y/N says, and I grab her hands.

"You're a natural, Y/N. Just keep your eye on the ball, and swing." I say, and she nods.

"Ready, Y/N?" Lu asks, and Y/N hesitates, but nods, stepping into the batter's box. It took her a couple of tries to make contact, but on the third pitch she smacked it to the fence in left field.

"How?" The sisters ask, looking at me. I just shrug. I figured she was too nervous to actually hit.

"Why are you playing soccer?" Lu asks, and Y/N offers a nervous chuckle.

"It's what I love." Y/N says, and Lu nods.

"A few more pitches, Lloyd." Lu says, and Y/N nods. The rest of the pitches, Y/N made contact with, and none hit the fence, some got close, but no repeats. When she came up to me after hitting, I smiled as I took her helmet off of her head, and kissed her quickly.

"You did great, babe." I say, and she smiles.

"Thanks, Ty."

Near the end of practice, as Lu was giving us a water break, someone ran onto the field, and Lu smiles as she looked over.

"Lu!" The person called out.

"Hey, trouble." Lu says, looking over to us in the dugout. "Girls, Come here." She says, so we all head over, except for Y/N, who was up in the stands watching the rest of the practice. When I got to the group around Lu, I looked at our visitor and almost died. Alex fucking Hugo was standing there, smiling brightly.

"You're ugly, Alex!" Y/N tells from her spot in the stands, and everyone looks over.

"So are you, Y/N!" Alex responds, and the two laugh.

"I'm sorry, how do you know my girlfriend?" I ask, no longer starstruck, and 100% jealous.

"We met earlier in the day, she was eating lunch by herself, so I went and kept her company, she's really cool." Alex says, and I nod.

"She is."

"We've also been sitting together the entire practice." Alex says, and I look over at Y/N.

When Y/N and I got back to my dorm, I was upset.

"You left so fast after practice. Is everything okay?" Y/N asks, and I nod. "Ty, I know you better than that. Well enough to know how ecstatic you'd be to meet Alex Hugo, so help me understand what went on. You didn't even get her autograph, or a picture."

"Well, I didn't think I needed either of those, What with you being her best friend now." I say, and Y/N raises a brow.

"You're jealous." She says, and I huff as she comes and straddles my lap, wrapping her arms around my neck, and pressing her forehead to mine.

"Get off."

"Tyler, lift my shirt." She says, and I hesitantly do so, staring at the hickeys on her stomach, and hips. "You put those there this morning and last night." Y/N says to me, pulling back a little to grab my chin, and force me to look her in the eye. "I'm yours. Nobody else's, okay, Tyler Leigh McGrath?" Y/N asks, and I nod, leaning forward to catch Y/N in a kiss, but stop when someone knocks.
