Astrid had finally graduated from college and just wanted to start her life. One night when she finds the eyes of a guy it soon leads to a life she never saw for herself.
(Some changes so my friend said I should make her work for the athletics instead and I was like fuck it ok. So I'm sorry but I want you to throw all that shit out the window. Cause I have ADD and I'm a reckless dumbass [direct all hate to my twitter and give me a follow @malibuindigosky] )
*september* My heart was growing more and more every second I spent with August. When September got closer my heart pained at the thought of going to San Francisco and not getting to see him every day. I asked him to move in with me and to my surprise, he said yes. He loved LA loved everything about it, even the air. Us living together was more than perfect. We cooked together and watched movies. We made each other so happy. He was perfect in many ways he wasn't Christian and that felt good. He was different, he spoke soft, he smiled just as soft.
It was my first day and I was pretty much screaming internally with anxiety and excitement.

I flashed my id at the entrance and stepped onto the field admiring everything letting my breath be taken away. "Holy shit, " I whispered to myself. "Yeah it's kinda amazing," I looked to my left and saw Chad Pinder standing beside me admiring it just like I was. "No way, " my jaw dropped and I took a step back now admiring him. "Hi I'm Chad." he extended his hand out to me laughing at my reaction to him. "Astrid Murray." I shook his and it pretty much-engulfed mine. "Do you know where I could find Bob Melvin?" "Right here, " A man walks over to us in a nice pressed suit and a smile. "You must be Astrid, follow me" I followed him back through the tunnel quickly turning around and waving to chad. "I wanna say thank you so much for giving me a chance I'm really excited to start this journey, " I take a few extra steps so I'm right beside him. "Well, where happy you're here. You've seen the court and entrance, this is the clubhouse, this is my office," we walked down the hall and I admired everything, the posters, and trophies scattered throughout. "and this is your office, " He opened the door and my heart filled. It was just a desk, a chair, a computer, and a printer. But it was perfect. "You can decorate it however you want." "Thank you so much, Mr.Melvin. " "Hey just call me bob, " I smile and he shakes my hand walking out to go to his office.
*Text msg* Me: hey will you sign this for me

Cody: Yeah, I'll see you soon. Me: Lol, yay I miss you. Cody: miss you too
I ordered a few more posters and found some stuff to decorate the office with. For the last 2 hours, I had pretty much read up on each guy, watched videos. Got to know them from an almost sideline point of view. "Astrid Murray to the filed " I heard the loudspeaker come on and jumped at my name. I looked at the time and it was 30 minutes to game time. "Alright, Astrid. This is Brandon he's your camera guy your his boss, " Bob walks me over to the kid probably 20 or 21. I laugh and shake Brandon hand, " get to know each other your on in 10. "So how are you nerves scale of 1-10," "They're about a 28, So pretty good id say." laughed and I looked at my paper going over everything.
"Deep breath Astrid, " Brandon said to me peeking from behind the camera. I did exactly that flashing a smile. I pulled the mic to my lips letting the breath go. "Good evening everyone I'm Astrid Murray with NBC Sports Bay Area. After Sweeping the Yankees The A's are hoping for same results with the Giants." I continue on and feel my smile grow as the words just flow out. I hold the smile as Brandon switches the camera off. "That was amazing, " He smiles giving a fist bump. I take a seat in the dugout and put on my headset so I can hear the announcers and anything else.
"Thank you, Astrid, and welcome to the team. We noticed you had is bandaged what happen?" Glen Kuiper says making smile hearing my name on the headset. "Hi Glen, I broke a vase and tried picking up the glass shards, ended up doing some damage to my palm." I lied of course what was I supposed to do say of yeah what the fuck is up glen yeah I slashed my hand open cause I broke a bottle of beer when my ex Christian yelich came to confess his love to me. "Well be careful next time, hope your hand heals quick, " I smile as they finally start talking game.
I grab my phone checking scores and updates. *text msg* Cody: Hey you did amazing Me: aw thanks I wanted to scream Cody: I would of never know Me: I have this weekend completely off how about I come see you and the guys Cody: the guys would love that. can't wait to see you. Me: right back at ya belli
★★★★★★★★★★★★★★★
The game end 10-5 giants and I do my post-game interviews. I shut down my office getting out of there excited to get home and celebrate with August. I bet he was happier about this job then I was. He was practically counting down the days till I got to finally start. I just wanted to hug him and do a little more.
"Babe I'm home, " I walk in the apartment and hear someone laugh from the bedroom. "If he's watching superstore without me ill kill him, " I laugh taking off my heels and walk to the bedroom just wanting my PJs, my covers, and my August. I open the door and feel every breath leave my body as my eyes rest on August in bed with another woman. In my bed. In my home. With another woman.
