Hello my lovely readers thank you so much to everyone to reviews and to ilovemesomebenny don't worry about the rant, your rant was beautiful ahaha.
Anyways I am currently updating because my team made it to provincials :) YAY!
If I have any readers in Stratford I will be there this weekend and can't wait to visit your town. If anyone is one is going to provincials as well then I can't wait to see you there, although this is very unlikely :p So I don't know when i'll get to update again so I am posting a quick chapter.
Enjoy :)
The first place we went was obviously the sandlot, a week not playing and my arms were so stiff. But within the hour I had my rubber arm back. Ham always made the joke that me and Benny were perfect for each other because we completely a rubber person. He had the rubber legs I had the rubber arms, and both of us had the rubber personality bending over backwards and twisting just to be able to be with one another.
I was in the Dugout getting some water when I felt arms wrap around my waist and a chin on my shoulder.
"Yeah yeah, Benny is right behind us, we shouldn't be doing this here." I said in an overly dramatic voice.
"Oh shut up." Benny's deep voice whispered in my ear. I laughed and turned in his arms.
"Oh my gosh Benny I can't believe you heard that! I'm so sorry you had to find out this way." Benny rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah Benny's found out!" I called to him.
"What?" He asked from third base taking his eyes off the ball that then hit him in the shin. "OW!"
"Pay attention!" Bertram yelled at him.
"He found out about us Yeah yeah!" I said pulling away from Benny and pointing at him.
"Oh no! Don't tell me he found out about our undying love." he yelled running over to me and slinging his arm around my shoulder. Benny stood there just looking unimpressed with our joke.
"It's true."
"Oh Benny man we were gonna tell you." Yeah yeah, was a pretty good actor I was actually impressed that he hadn't broken down in laughter.
"No way are you guys in love." benny responded.
"Of course we are, you saw him get hit he's so distracted with thoughts of me he can't keep his head in the game." I said keeping up my dramatic voice.
"I can't stop thinking about her."
"You do this just to annoy me right?"Benny said annoyed.
"That's it Benny stay strong." Yeah yeah said putting his hand on his shoulder. "I know how hard it is to know that you lost your girl to someone better looking." Benny laughed and tackled Yeah yeah to the ground.
"No Benny stop don't hurt him, please boys don't fight over me!" I yelled throwing my hands to my forehead dramatically the other guys started laughing in amusment at the two boys.
"You know what you can have her!" Yeah yeah said getting up. "She's too butch for me." Yeah yeah said. This time I tackled him to the ground.
"First you break my heart then call me butch?" I yell sitting on top of him.
"Are you two done?" benny asked a huge smile on his face.
"Yeah we're done." we responded at the same time, I got off of yeah yeah and helped him up.
"good." Benny laughed and then wrapped his arms around my again.
"I think you were jealous for a moment there Benny." Bertram smirked.
"No way." Benny responded.
"I don't know Sunshine is way out of his league, maybe he knows he can't trade up so he can't stand the thought of loosing her." Ham laughed. Benny faked a laugh and flipped him off.
"Even though you're right screw you." Benny said glaring. We all laughed and Benny hugged me tighter.
We continued with Practice, completely loosing ourselves in the game going to our own little baseball kingdoms. I would have gone forever, but I knew I couldn't considering they reminded me I had to get back to the house before Clara. Apparently for the week they mapped out her weekly schedule and I needed to get back.
"I'll come get you when Clara leaves." Benny whispered to me we were crouched behind the hedge on his side.
"Okay." I nodded and he leaned in and gave me a firm kiss.
"God those five days without you was hell." he whispered to me when we pulled apart.
"hey benny?'
'yeah."
"Why are we whispering?" I asked.
"I don't know." he whispered back and gave me another sweet kiss, capturing my lips in his.
"I love you."
"I love you too." he responded and then shooed me to my house. I climbed up the roof and then into my room Benny came behind me to make it looked like the latch wasn't broken, smiled, waved and then disappeared. I quickly unlocked my door, then turned off all the trick electronics, shoved them under the bed and pulled out the nail essay.
Ten minutes after a quick shower and changing Clara came into my room.
"Finish your essay?" she asked. I had one arm resting over my eyes and I pointed to the desk with my other. "Learn anything?" she asked.
"That mind numbing tasks like that make mind numbing people like you." I said. She slammed the door when I looked up the essay was gone.
Good.
The next morning Benny was shaking me.
"Hey beautiful wake up." he whispered.
"Get out of here asshole!" I sneered hitting him with a pillow.
"still not a morning person, seriously get up I already got all the gadgets ready."
"Did clara leave?" I asked sitting up my long hair falling to one side.
"yeah and she left this." he said handing me a piece of paper. I opened it and read it.
Toni, I expect a thousand word essay on proper lipstick colours on girls, which ones work and which don't. If you're good I have a surprise for you when I get home.
She didn't even sign it, but it wasn't necessary I would know wrote it anyways.
I got up and walked to my dresser and grabbed a brush pulling it into a ponytail.
Benny walked up behind me and took the brush from my hands setting it on the table then took my left hand lowering it so all my hair fell around my shoulders.
"I like your hair down." Benny whispered into my hair.
"It gets in the way." I said.
"yeah it does." he whispered moving it to one side and kissed my bare shoulder since I was in fact in a tank top and fabric shorts. His lips burned my skin as they moved to my neck placing hot kisses there. He traveled up my neck and nibbled on my ear his teeth nipping on the skin then soothing it with his lips and tongue.
I bit my lip trying to keep quiet and turned around to face him.
"Benjamin Rodriguez, do not distract a girl from playing baseball."
"You're not playing right now." he whispered, his lips brushing over mine with each word.
"No." I said giving him a simple peck that had him following my lips as I pulled away. I laughed and put my hand on his shoulder to stop him. "But I'm wasting precious baseball time."
"Wasting?" he asked in mock hurt.
"Yes." I answered simply and ran to the window. My hair forgotten I just threw it up in a bun and then put my hat on. Benny jumped down before me so I could lock the window.
"So where did Clara go?" I asked as we started walking down the street.
"Eh, Bertram says that she stops by his moms shop and then goes straight to this cafe to gossip almost all day."
"Figures."
"Hows your dad?" he asked.
"I wouldn't know." I grumbled
"Sorry." Benny said sentimentally, looking up at me his eyes filled with sorry and regret.
"It's okay Benny." I sighed adjusting my hat just to give me something to do.
Benny swung his hands at his sides, on his third swing he caught mine and ran in front of me, holding my hand tightly and walking backwards so he faced me.
"My parents wanted you to come to dinner tonight." he smiled brightly.
"They want me to or you do?" I asked.
"They actually told me to invite you." he replied. "Honest." he said after seeing my doubtful look.
"I don't know, Clara said she was coming home to . . .give me something."
"Just come over after she leaves." he gave me pleading eyes the kind that I just can't resist. "We're havingChuletillas de cordero." he dangled.
"You know my weakness." I smiled. He grinned and then tugged my hand breaking into a run leading me to the sandlot.
Yay, okay so I am currently working on the Climax of the story for this summer of their lives and I am really happy with it so far.
I NEED HELP, so I have an idea for their final year of highschool, but I need help with Next Summer their Junior year, I had an idea for it but I don't think it would work so well. So I'd like to hear some ideas for the sandlot gang for the next summer after this one. Comment ideas I'd love to hear them and incorporate them just as long as another Character doesn't come into the story otherwise the rest wouldn't make sense. Please comment and review thank you all so much for already reviewing you're all awesome and I can't wait to hear from you 3
