Love Isn't Easy Part 7
"Ah. Gail....you can't help but love that our children were so wrapped up in their discussion that they forgot all about this baseball game."
Gail Coulson looked at Janet in complete agreement. "AND! Sam hasn't shut up about it all week 'The game this and the game that!' It started to get funny after awhile."
"Josie was the same............We are going to go watch them play right?"
"Oh Course."

Sam and Josie reached the parking lot at a furious rate. Both eager to get to the game, mostly to watch the other one play but they wouldn't dare mention that aloud. Josie slid on the hood of her car to the driver's seat and Sam couldn't help but be totally impressed. Never in his whole life did he ever see anyone do that maneuver successfully. He waited while Josie unlocked the door and he climbed in as well. Josie started the ignition and they drove off. The drive to the school was a little under ten minutes so if they really rushed, they could probably make it. Josie just thanked her lucky stars - and her neurotic organizational skills - that she had changed into the appropriate clothes ahead of time.
Sam on the other hand was far beyond the rational thinking that Josie was at and was now worrying about how to fill the silence in the car. A mistake on his part due to the fact that because of their rush the silence was explained and therefore not awkward. A realization that Sam would fail to discover.
"So....uh........ Josie, you excited for the game?"
Josie looked at him a little confused. "You've already asked me that."
"I have? Oh, I'm sorry. I don't know where my head's at today." Oh shit. That's embarrassing. She must see right through him.
"Oh, Don't worry about it Mr. Coulson, you must just be nervous about the game because you know you're gonna lose!" She said in a jokingly competitive manner.
"That's what you think!" Sam replied and started to quietly laugh. No matter where they were, he always had fun with Josie. He couldn't wait for the game.
For the rest of the car ride, Sam and Josie laughed and discussed all the different ways that their own team would beat the other. When they arrived at the stadium, Rob was in the parking lot looking frantic.
"Rob! What is wrong with you? You look like you're gonna bust a gut from worrying."
"Josie! When they say the game starts at 5:30, I thought you realized that you are supposed to come EARLIER!!! NOT AT 5:30!!!!!"
"Geez, Rob! Calm down! Me and mum were grocery shopping, so really you should thank me. The cupboards at home are stocked full of junk food, all your favorite kinds."
"Ok...um, that's true, when mom goes.....she gets healthy food. Who eats that for snacks? And why did you and Sam come together?....never mind. No time. Good thing your already dressed. Now go over to the box, you aren't up to bat first. Sara is."
"Ok. Me and mom ran into Sam and his mom at the store, we lost track of time, the moms are bringing groceries home in their car while we took MY car."
"Aaaaah.......so you lost track of time huh? Doing what?" Rob said smiling devilishly. And in return got a slap in the arm which from Josie hurt quite a bit.
"OW! Alright! I get it. Can we go play now? I'm getting anxious."
Josie just laughed and the two of them walked over to the dugout.
"ALRIGHT!! LET'S PLAY BALL!"
