chapter 12

*1 week later*

Christian asked me to quit my job at the radio station and even though I was a little upset I was happy cause I got to spend so much time with him. The team was about to have a 4 game series in LA against the dodgers. So I would be able to go to San Francisco and get a tour and hopefully see some of the apartments we've been looking at on Zillow. I loved laying in bed looking at places us both getting excited at little details and amenities but the realizing weren't look for a place for each other.

I was searching for the ingredients to make pancakes when I heard the door open.
"Come here I got you something, "
"Stop getting me gifts I feel bad, " I reluctantly grab the small box he was holding. I open it and see a single silver key. I look at him confused and sit the box down examining the key.
"It's a key to my house in Malibu, any time you wanna make the drive and go relax on the beach or surprise me when I'm back home you can, "
"God I love you, Christian, "
"I know" I wrap my arm behind his neck and pull him down to me kissing him.
"You wanna make some pancakes, " I walk around the counter back to the fridge grabbing the eggs.
"Sure do we have sprinkles, "
"Yeah, and when there done ill put a smiley face on yours, " I laugh and slide the wet ingredients to him so he can mix them together. When he finishes mixing it all he's slides past and me walks over to the piano. When he starts playing I realize I don't know the song. I didn't show or teach it to him he learned it in his own. My heart soars at the thought of him taking the time to learn songs on his own.
"What was that, "
"It's called slow dancing in the dark it came on shuffle when I was listening to music so I decided to learn it while you were at work." he sounded so proud of himself which he was right to be.
"I like it it's pretty." I smile pouring two small sand dollar size pancakes in the pan. He plays 'Your Song' and I dance flipping the pancakes.

"Did you pack your Prozac?"
"Yes Christian,"
"Did you pack a bathing suit?"
"Yes Christian, "
"Did you pack extra chargers computer to?"
"Yes, Christian I got everything Jesus, " I zip up my suitcase and laugh him and the little checklist he had going on.
"Well I just wanna be sure you have everything, " I look up at him from the bed and laugh closing my eyes as he leans down and kisses me.
"When are you gonna tell then, " Christian says pulling away I roll my eyes an groan. I hadn't told any of the guys more taking about Lo I had taken the job.
"Soon I promise ok?"
"Ok." I grab my bag and jump up sliding my backpack on and grab toms skipping downstairs.
"Come on white boy we gotta flight to catch, " I laugh at myself then laugh harder when I hear him realizing he had finally process what I said. We drive to the park and load all of our stuff on the bus to go to the airport. It was super nice having a team jet just buncha dudes and like 3 girls + myself on a plane. It sounds hectic but it was amazing. I sat in front of Christian and we took turns throwing skittles in the air catching it our mouth.
"HELL YEAH 3 IN A ROW, " Christian cheered sticking his tongue at me since I had only gotten 1. I kick him under the table and mock him cause us both to laugh.
"Would you hate me if I skipped one game and went to six flags"
"I would hate you if you didn't do that, " I smile tapping my fingers on top of his signaling to turn it over so I can hold it. His hands were soft but strong practically consumed mine.

"So is your first time in California Astrid?" I look forward to Ryan keeping my hand on Christians.
"Yeah, I've always wanted to go so I'm happy I'm going with all of you, "
"Well, you'll love it, and if there are any dodgers you wanna meet or get a picture and autograph don't be scared to ask, yet will introduce you to them." I look at Christians and smile turning back to Ryan.
"Well, I really wanna meet Kiké and Corey, "
"Why them in specific?" Ryan asks and I laugh under my breath.
"Well Kiké seems really nice and funny and Corey is uh Coreys attractive, " I look a Christian and soon join in the laughter the other guys had a cause of the look on Christians face.
"Oh come on he has a girlfriend, " I laugh and squeeze his hand. He smiles and playfully rolls his eyes at me.

"The taste of your lips, I'm on a ride. You're toxic I'm slippin' under. With a taste of a poison paradise, " me and Yaz dance and lipsync the song as Christian and Sophia film us. We had been having a Britney Spears party for the last hour.
"Alright we'll be landing in 5," Craig chimes in and I stop dancing but can see Yaz bopping as 'Gimme more comes on'.
"You ready to see your next home, "
"Yeah, " I smile and try to hide the dread in my heart I'm here to find my next home and the next time I come here after this I won't be able to bring all of them with me. I'll be leaving them all behind starting over with nothing, even though I was pretty much being give everything. It didnt matter, Christian is my everything.
