Falling For Boys In Blue

Chapter 68

The Twins had the series three to two. We were back home for the last two games which meant tonight the Twins could win and take it all, or we could become the first team in years to win a World Series at home in game seven.

Jacob and I had been seeing each other a lot, but I still thought about Christian sometimes. Cody knew who I was with too and covered for me so Corey wouldn't find out. If there was one thing I had learned the past few weeks it was that Corey was still madly in love me. It was beyond annoying. Like really? It's been a year.

Even though the fans were energetic, nerves were high as the guys ran out to the field. You could feel it. They got close for so many years but could never get it. They wanted this so bad. I wanted this so bad.

It had been a tough game. The score kept bouncing back and forth. No one had the lead more than two innings. It was five five in the ninth. The Twins had two outs and no one on base. We've rallied before we can do it again and walk it off and take this to game seven.

And then it got quiet as Jansen gave up a home run, giving the Twins the lead. He got the last out, but you could feel the hope drain from the fans. We had Cody, Corey and Max up. We could do it, but it would be tough.

"Come on Cody I know you have it in you."

"You still like to talk to yourself a lot don't you?" Steve asked. I chuckled.

"Yup. You're gonna learn a lot about me real quick Steve."

"Already have. Haven't forgotten much of it either."

"DAMNIT." I said as Cody struck out. He walked back shaking his head.

Corey flew out to right center. We had one chance left. It was loud. You could feel the energy from the fans, but the guys were nonexistent. They knew. Max hit it and it went flying.

"PLEASE." I begged, just as it was caught at the wall. The season was over. We lost. Some of the guys just sat there at watched. Others went straight to the clubhouse.

Eventually all the guys made their way in. Interviews were left and right. There wasn't a player who didn't have someone in their face. The crowd around Cody left and I walked up to him next.

"Hey I need a,"

I wrapped my arms around him and just hugged him. "You needed a hug. I could see it from across the room." I said. He bowed his head down.

"Yeah. So did you."

I felt tears starting to well in my eyes just as more arms wrapped around me.

"If you're gonna cry we are too." I heard Will say.

It felt good to be back with them. They knew when to just hug me.

We all went home. Cody, Corey and I didn't say much. We just went to our rooms and sat alone. It was so weird. I'd never been to a World Series before so I never knew what it was like. But this was different. I wanted them to win so bad.

Everyone needs their alone time. I love my alone time. But right now I didn't want to be alone. I wanted to be with one person. Jacob.

I peaked into the hall and quietly made my way downstairs and snuck out the front door. I had to see him. I missed him. I needed him.

The streets were empty so it was a relatively quick drive. That was only because the Dodgers lost. So everyone went home right away.

I got there and stood outside my car. Part of me felt like I should've texted him first or called. I walked up and knocked on his door and hoped it would open. It did.

"Kaitlyn, hey I saw what happened. I'm sorry. Are you okay?"

"No. I need you."

He pulled me into him and pressed me against the door as he closed it. My hands were tangled in his hair, his wandered all over my body.

"We really gotta stop doing this Kait." He said as he started kissing down my neck.

"Yeah I know but right now I don't care."

He took his shirt off, "Thank god cause neither do I."

He picked me up and carried me to his room. It just felt so good to be against him again.
