Curveball

Chapter 4

Classes seem to drag the rest of the day, surprise surprise, and since I'm so ready for the day to be over when the bell for the end of the day finally rings I almost jump out of my seat in anticipation of going to meet Gavin.

Getting everything to my locker I quickly pull out the stuff I need for researching and then walk toward the parking lot. On my way I stop and say bye to Chelsea knowing I won't see her until tomorrow, and she demands details from tonight's hang out as soon as I'm home.

Rolling my eyes I agree and then walk toward the baseball fields like Gavin instructed, only to see the team hasn't quite finished up with practice yet so I in turn take a seat in the bleachers to watch.

Now I've never been a big sports fan, my dad has tried to get me to watch both baseball and football and they've just never been appealing to me. But let me tell you something. Seeing Gavin in his baseball uniform was a mouthwatering sight.

His jersey was short sleeve due to the weather still being really nice from the summer and with sweat beads dripping down his face the shirt clung to his muscular chest and showed off at least 4 of his abs. His pants also clung to his legs and showed off just how tone the sport made him and made his butt look incredible.

"A sight for sore eyes isn't it?" A voice spoke from behind me making me jump a little at the realization I'd been caught staring. 

I turned my body to look up and found a familiar girl staring back at me. She was the one I'd seen hanging around Gavin and his friends.

"Yyyeah...I've never seen them practice before but definitely a sight they are really good." I stuttered trying to play it off like I wasn't just checking out her boyfriend. That jealous feeling appeared in my stomach again and I felt guilty for crushing on Gavin when his girlfriend was sitting next to me. 

"Oh please girl you were totally checking them out and I don't blame you. All of those boys are fine as hell and those jerseys only do them justice." My cheeks flush with embarrassment and I quickly turn back around towards the field to hide it. 

The boys finish up practicing and once coach calls time for the afternoon I hear clamping as the girl comes down past me and heads towards the field. I watch intently as Gavin gathers his stuff and begins walking toward her. They embrace in a hug and talk for a few minutes. 

Not being able to look at them any longer I peel my eyes away and look around at all the other players getting their stuff together to head home. Instead of waiting I decide to head towards Gavin's truck and wait for him there.

I only stand my the truck for a minute or so before he appears accompanied by a couple guys and that same girl. All of a sudden I'm very envious of her and her relationship with Gavin, and I begin to wonder if she is aware of the way he talks to other girls when she isn't around. 

If my boyfriend was calling other girls sweetheart and pretty I sure wouldn't be okay with it. 

At that point I decide I will address it with him and let him know that it's not okay, jock or not he needs to respect his girlfriend and stop texting me as if he were single. 

Once the group approached Gavin's truck all the guys gave each other man-shakes and he embraces the girl once more and turns to me. 

I hide the grimace from my face and smile at him and he opens my door for me helping me in and then shuts it behind me. As I sit there waiting for him to get in, I debate in my head about how to approach what I need to say to him. 

My thoughts are cut short as he opens the door and hops into the truck.

He starts it up and the A/C is on full blasts and so I quickly get a whiff of him and let me say I'm genuinely surprised by how incredible he smells.
