My flight to San Francisco left at 8:45 am so I had to leave at 6:30 am. Jesus, I've only been in LA for 2 days and this traffic is hell, just hoping SF is nothing like this.

"So this is a little bit more than the last one, but as you can see it has a walk-in closet and the bathroom is just beautiful." I walked around the 2 bedrooms one bathroom apartment. It had everything I needed a good size kitchen and living room, a room for an office. It was only 30 minutes from the Oracle Arena.
"I love it ill take it, "
"Perfect just come with me and well start signing some papers, " I took on the last look at the room that would soon be mine. I couldn't help but smile, I was starting the rest of my life. I was in love I was happy no reason not to smile.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

I left from the airport straight to dodger stadium making sure to tip the Uber extra for taking me through that hellish traffic. I ran to the clubhouse to find Christian rubbing some icy hot on his back. I snuck behind him moving his hand and started rubbing it myself. He threw his head back as I applied pressure to the knot in his back.
"Jesus Astrid who knew you had the hands of a god when it came to stuff like this." I laughed grabbing his towel and wiping my hands off.
"How did you know it was me?"
"Well I sure as hell hope not one of the guys would sneak up and rub my back, and I could smell your perfume." He smiled putting on his shirt.
"Hey summer moon from bath and body works smells good and you know it, "
"Come here so I can get smell it better I need a reminder, " he pulls me up to him hands wrapped around my waist leaning down kissing me.
"How was it, "
"I found a place I move in August 23rd, " He looks at me confused then rolls his eyes walking away.
"I thought you didn't move till the send September, "
"I thought so too but I have to move a little earlier then I thought, but it's just I need to decorate then ill be back and I don't wanna look like a college student not decorated,"  I pull him back to run my fingers through his hair making him smile.
"You know when you start decorating you would get this poster of this baseball player, he was MVP, really good looking, plays for the brewers," I smirk and nod my head in agreement. "Yeah his names Ryan Braun, " I cover my mouth and laugh. He just lets himself die at his own joke. I wrap my arm around his neck and kiss him let it last a little longer then I meant to.
"I have to go say hi to the other guys, wish them bad luck, " I say pulling away.
"Ok tell Verdugo if he picks you up like that again ill beat his ass, " He laughs
"Will do big man, "

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
"Hey, rookie we started to think you weren't coming, " Verdugo says standing up from stretching.
"Nope I'm here, you can't get rid of me that easy." I give him a side hug grabbing his sunglasses off the top of his head. "I was in San Francisco, got an apartment."
"Oh so we got a new party spot when got there, " Cody says walking over to us put his hat on my head.
"Oh hell no, " I laugh adjusting the cap.
"Are you excited, "
"Yeah, I am, " I sigh and smile It sounded like I was trying to convince myself but I was excited. It was gonna be a huge change but I was ready.
"Stretch with me, since you used to be a cheerleader, " I sit down with Cody and start stretching then look at him confused.
"I did cheer in high school how the hell do you know that, "
"We stalked your Instagram, "
"Ok so your creepy and honest, " I laugh following Cody's lead raising my leg to do side raises
"Hey, why would I lie we just wanted to get to know you, " I laugh and shake my head. I and Cody really clicked in the short moments we've been together. He was like a little brother almost. I knew I would love hanging out with him.
"Hey Astrid, " I look up to see Christian walking towards me work a guy who looked like him. I jump up brushing the grass off me. "Astrid this is collin, my brother, "
"Hi I'm Astrid, " I stick my hand out to shake his watching his eyes look me up and down.
"It's good to meet you, damn Christian you really didn't do her justice she's pretty, " I laugh and run my hand through my hair seeing Christian blush putting his head down. "Christian told me about you wanting to go to six flags and I was wondering if you wanted to tag along with me and some friends so you don't have to go alone, "
"Yeah, I would love that, " He smiles throwing up a peace sign and running over to Cody to say hi. I turn myself around laying into Christian chest his arms wrapped around me. I just wanted to sit there for a second and watch the sunset, the game was starting soon but it didn't matter. Everything but us and the sky had melted away. I laid my hands on top of his leaning my head back to look him in the eyes. The way the sun hit his eyes made my heart melt. They were this gorgeous golden color you couldn't even dream of. I could see my world in those eyes and I never wanted to look away.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

I and Collin took our seats by the visiting dugout two rows from the front.
"You wanna make a bet, "
"Yeah let's make a bet, " I scoff taking a sip of my beer.
"Ok so if Christian hits 2 doubles and a home run you have to buy me a beer, " He says nodding put his hand out.
"And if he doesn't you get me a beer, " I shake his hand turning to watch the game starting with cain up to bat first.

Christian strikes out His first at-bat, a single the second one. Then his third at-bat he doubles cause Collins to cheer a little louder then he had been. I roll my eyes and laugh. His 4th at-bat he hits a home run.
"Just one double and I'll be that beer." Collin claps whispering to me making me question what kind of girlfriend I was hoping my boyfriend didn't get a double. His fifth at-bat he got out when Seager caught the balm throwing it to first. when he comes to bat next I go ahead and take out my wallet I could feel it was going to be a double. One strike one ball, then a ground ball error by Seager making it easy for Christian to run straight to second while someone tried to grab the ball.
"HELL YEAH, " Collin stood up cheering looking like the supportive bother we all wanted to be. But in reality, excited to get a beer.

★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★

The brewers won 9-7, I walked to the clubhouse waiting on him to come out.
"Good game yelich, " I say wrapping my arms sound him.
"Thanks, Murray, " He laughs dropping his bag to wrap his around me leaning down to kiss me.
"How about we get some food and then celebrate this." I pull away for a second returning to the kiss.
"How about we skip the food and just celebrate, " he leans back down to finish the kiss grabbing my hand and pulling me with him.
