Coaching Love

I put the ball out towards him, "I think this is yours."

He laughed, "Yeah, I think so. Thanks. Are you okay?" He said grabbing the ball.

"Yeah, I'm good. I caught it before it hit me." I replied.

"My name's Will." He said sticking his hand out.

I grabbed his hand and shook it before replying, "Shelbi." We were still shaking hands and it made me feel all tingly inside. What the hell?

Shelbi Brooks is an average teen girl. False. She isn't your typical girl who cares about makeup and hair and girly things. Don't get her wrong, she loves those things, but not as much as she loves sports. When you're part of the Brooks family, you're bound to love sports. She grew up on the fields, after all. While her brothers stayed with baseball only, Shelbi was in soccer, softball, and dance. Since she just graduated, she has to wait for college before playing any type of sport again. But that doesn't mean she can't help with sports, right?

Will Parkinson is a very outgoing guy. True. He grew up in a broken home and a dysfunctional family. He always had a place to escape. Whether it was his best friend's house or the batting cages, he would always be at one or the other. So, after he graduated, he signed up to coach little league baseball. I mean, why not? It gives him a place to escape during the summer and he gets to teach kids baseball. When a fowl ball almost hits a beautiful blonde, who knows all about baseball, he does something unexpected. He asks her to be his assistant coach.

What will happen as the two of them become friends and maybe more? What happens when secrets are shared? What happens when she assist with more than just baseball?
