c h r i s t i a n.

I was starting to feel the slump from baseball; I didn't want to sit out of games, because I love being out on the field, but at the same time, I know my body needs rest. Nadia's always in my ear telling me that I need to listen to my body and if I'm hurting to take a break, but she doesn't get it...I understand she's looking out for me, that's how she was when we were in high school and I started feeling back pains from baseball then. I mean, I'm satisfied with where I am in life, but, I needed to get out of the slump.

Nadia had finally got all her stuff in my, well, our apartment and I honestly can say it feels like a home now. She definitely knew how to make a person happy when they were down and drowsy. Guess she just was a magical person, and I got lucky. It was an adjustment, having a room-mate again as I always lived alone when I had my place in Miami, then my apartment out in Arizona, which I still have, but, with Nadia in my life now, it was hers as well. It was ours. I think living with my girl has brightened up the whole living situation; Never a dull moment in this place with her, always making new memories, always laughing, and always showing love.

I came home from batting practice, kicking off my shoes and tossed my bag in the corner as I usually did once I got home. I sighed, walking to the fridge and grabbed a beer, cracking open the top and took a sip before looking in the fridge to see what there was to eat.

Nadia walked down the hallway into the kitchen wearing one of my old Marlins shirt that came down to her knees like a dress, and just looked cuter than ever. "Hi, baby, how was practice?" She asked as she approached me and welcomed me home with a kiss.

I set my bottle down on the counter. "It was good, baby. Actually had a good day batting, so I'm satisfied. What have you been up to?" I ask, leaning back against the counter.

"Well, I cleaned up the bathroom, organized everything so your things are with your sink and my stuff is near my sink. I cleaned up the bedroom, there were clothes everywhere, mostly yours, but it looks a thousand times better. Then I showered, slipped one of your shirts on, and now I've been all cozy in bed waiting for my man to get home." She explained and stood on her tip toes, wrapping her arms around my neck.

I kissed her forehead, before picking her up and carried her to the bedroom. "I just wanna lay down in bed with you and sleep." I said as I set Nadia down on the bed. "I'm gonna shower and change quick, then I'll be back." I told her before walking in the bathroom and hopped in the shower, being rather quick as I just wanted to get back in bed with Nads.

I reached over and took her phone out of her hand and put it on my nightstand to take away her distraction. "We're having a no phone night." I told her as she pouted, trying to reach over me to grab her phone.

"Christiannn," She whined, "I was almost finished reading that article." She tried reaching over again but I just jabbed her sides, laughing.

She hit my arm lightly and did her best to look angry at me, but it was hard for her to stay angry at me. "You know I don't like that, because you usually start shit." She said as I shrugged.

"I have no idea what you're talking about..." I lie, trying to keep my laughs in.

"Yes you do! You know exactly what I'm talking about.." She said, sitting on her knees, facing me.

I nodded and acted like something clicked in my head. "Oh! You mean, this?" I grabbed her sides and started tickling her.

She started laughing and trying to grab my arms, "C-Christian!" She said in between laughs, "Stop it!!" I kept tickling her before she hit my hand. "You know I don't fuck around with tickling!"

I laughed, looking at her, "Oh you can't stay mad at me." She pouted and crossed her arms, huffing as if she was some child. "Really, babe? That's not gonna make me cave in."

"Anytime you would tickle me and I said stop you used to stop." She whined, "Don't be a bully."

"Stop whining and maybe I wouldn't be a bully.." I told her, grabbing her sides again and tickled her.

Nadia laughed loud, trying to grab my arms again and tried getting away, "I'm sorry! You're not a bully!" She said, but it was hard to understand since she was laughing so hard. I moved so I was practically sitting on her hips while she was under me, kicking her legs and trying to fight me off. "Baby! I'm gonna scream if you don't stop!" I shrugged, continuing to tickle her. She ended up screaming really loud and I stopped, lifting my hands up.

"I'm done, god damn." I rubbed my ear like I had just lost hearing. "Could break a damn vase with that scream, which wasn't necessary." I stated, looking at her, still hovering over her.

"It got you to stop, did it not?" She asked, looking up at me. "Exactly. So, if that's what I have to do? Then I will do that. You know I don't like being tickled, yet, you continue to do it." She rolled her eyes and looked away from me.

I turned her chin to face me. "C'mon, stop being like that.." I pecked her lips, "I'm sorry.." Nadia looked at me, pouting again which made me kiss all over her face to try and get her to smile.

She giggled and smiled all big at me. "Okay! I forgive you!" She kept giggling then grabbed my face and kissed me. I pulled back a couple moments later, looking at her. "What?" She asked, looking up at me.

"You're cute." I stated, kissing her forehead. "Especially when you're trying to look angry at me."

Nadia rolled her eyes, "Yeah, yeah..." She laughed, "Tell me something I don't know."

"Oh? Getting cocky?" I asked, getting up off the bed and Nadia grabbed my arm.

"No, come back.." She said in a sad, but cute tone. "Where are you going? You need to stay here.." Nadia pouted out her bottom lip, looking at me. That was so fucking hard to resist, I moved and laid down, pulling her down on me.

She giggled and looked at me, "I know how to make you cave," She kissed my cheek and I just shook my head at her. "You loooove me." She said as I wrapped my arms around her, kissing her cheek.

"I do. I love you a whole lot."
