n a d i a .

My alarm went off at 6 am; The time Christian told me to set it, as he needed to be at the stadium early today, and I always rode with him if we were just heading home afterwards. It was a Sunday afternoon game which always messed with my brain, made me drained as ever. I figured since he would have to be at physical therapy in the morning, then go to his work out, I would go help in the pro-shop, see what I can get stocked and help them prepare for the game.

I rubbed my eyes, grabbing a pair of jeans and one of Christian's hoodies, sliding it over my head as I fixed my hair once I had the sweatshirt on. I sighed, putting on my shoes and walked in the kitchen to see Christian in sweats and a t-shirt making coffee. "Oh my god, you're the greatest..." I said as he handed me a cup of coffee and I took a sip, "This is why I love you.."

Christian laughed, putting the creamer and sugar away before walking over and gave me a kiss. "No worries, I brushed my teeth already." He smiled and I just rolled my eyes, smiling at him. We both refused to kiss one another until our teeth were brushed; Morning breath is not cute. "You ready for today? Sorry I have to make you wake up so early.." He said as I just shrugged and yawned, covering my mouth.

"I should be used to it by now, but I feel like I'm getting up for school.." I laughed, setting my cup of coffee down and ran my fingers through my hair. "But, I'm gonna go help in the shop while you go and do your thing and then I'll come with you to batting practice." I walked towards him and stood on my tip toes to kiss his cheek. "I'm ready to go whenever you are, babe." I said as I grabbed my wallet and phone, walking towards the door and out towards the elevator.

Christian grabbed my hand as we walked and gave it a light squeeze. "Y'know, I'm really happy you come to my games, and try to come to as many away ones as you can, it really means a lot.." He looked over at me and smiled before kissing my hand. "I think the only ones that do it are Travis's girl, sometimes Larissa will come, but, I think they see you the most.." He stated, I just shrugged and laughed.

"I mean, I'm going to support my man as much as I can. I work for the company, and my boyfriend is the star player, so, I gotta make sure he is doing his best." I looked at our hands, then at him, "You've been doing good lately. I know you feel like you haven't been, and I know your back has been bugging you, but I'm super proud of you." Christian moved and gave me a kiss. I kissed him back, smiling against his lips.

The elevator dinged when we got to the parking garage and we walked to his car and I got in the passenger seat, pulling my phone out of my pocket and plugged the aux into it. "We're listening to my tunes this morning." I said as I smirked over at him.

"No Justin Bieber or Shawn Mendes shit." He said as I laughed and scrolled through my songs, trying to find one that wasn't obnoxious for 6 o'clock in the morning. I put on 'needy' by Ariana Grande, looking over at Christian, grabbing his hand. I felt this was basically a song from me to Christian, because I know I was an annoying girlfriend.

Christian glanced over at me, rolling his eyes when the song started, knowing how frequently I listen to this song. I held his hand and sang obnoxiously, and giggled at him when he just shook his head.

"Telll meee how good it feels to neeedyyyy." I sang like an idiot, scrolling through my phone as I put on another song; Ain't Nobody Taking My Baby by Russ. I was a sucker for sap and I had found this song one day and sent it to Christian who surprisingly liked it.

He hummed along to the music as we pulled in the back parking lot of Miller Park. He looked over at me, leaning across and kissed me. "I feel bad that you have to be here so early with me.."
