Part two - Love at First Sight
Sam opened the door to his class room and the kids filed out as the bell range. Jonathan entered the room, "Hay man, you look like crap; what's wrong?" he asked with obvious concern. He had come by to deliver Rob's new uniform knowing he would be needing it that night and that Sam would see him in just over an hour.
"Do you believe in love at first sight?" Sam asked dejectedly.
"Of course, don't you remember me meeting Johanna, what happened?"
"I saw her!" he replied with a forlorn look on his face as John pulled up a chair.
"Saw who?" John asked taking a seat and setting down the team duffle-bag that contained Rob's uniform.
"Josie, she was beautiful and loves chocolate with a passion!" he answered as if on cloud nine.
"Josie as in the lady who writes for the sun times weekly section?" John asked even more confused.
Suddenly it hit Sam that was why she looked so familiar, her picture was in the paper above her weekly article. He pulled out lat weeks paper for confirmation, it was her.
He had read every one of her stories and felt like he knew her. "My God, it is her John. I saw her at the grocery store last night but I have the guts to talk to her." he stated then as if now talking to himself he continued "well, that is why she looked familiar but that doesn't explain why her mother looked even more familiar." he pondered it and put away the newspaper, now noticing the girls last name.
"If you saw her right now would you talk to her?" John asked.
"Yes, I'd force myself."
"Well you know where she works, go talk to her!" John said as he stood up and handed the duffle to Sam.
"Maybe I should do that" he smiled then immediately frowned "but what if she's taken or doesn't like me?"
"If she doesn't like you she's nuts and if she's taken at least you'll know you tried." John assured him.
"She is such a talented writer" Sam muttered with a dreamy look on his face.
************
Later that day Rob entered the class it was about 20 minuets before class was over. Sam immediately handed him a folder containing Aldys' work he put it in the binder with the rest. Then Sam gave the duffle and suggested he change into his uniform. Rob did the watched the class as Sam did the same.
"'What do you think of your uniform?" Sam asked as he returned to the room.
"It's cool, how did you get me a full uniform so fast?"
"My buddy John's a miracle worker!" he replied.
"It has Geller on it and everything" Rob stated in shock "Hey, why are you so down?" he asked noticing the solemn look on his face.
"Well you see their is this woman, she's a writer, you see? Well I've admired her writing from afar for a long time, and well, last night I saw her up close, she's so pretty and perfect and, well, I didn't have the guts to go talk to her!" he babbled with a sad look over his blushing face.
'He sounds like a child with a crush on his babysitter' Rob thought comically. "What all do you know about her?"
"I know her name, place of work and love of chocolate!"
"Love of chocolate, huh, sounds like my sister!" he started to giggle at past memories.
"I never would have figured Aldys to love chocolate!"
"Oh she doesn't, well not really, I mean my other sister."
"Another sister, how many Geller kids are there?"
"Three, two girls and a boy, we should head to practice."
The practice went quite well all things considered, Rob impressed all of Sam's friends and after the game Scot Romano, a good friend of Sam's and the coach for South Glen South, approached Sam about possibly hiring Rob as assistant coach, now all Sam had to do was to tell Rob.
************
Robs rounds were almost finished now to Sam's class. He opened the door the students were reading.
"Practice went well!" Sam said.
"No complaints here, I'm just glad to be playing ball again!"
"Your skill sure impressed my friends!"
"Oh?"
"yea, Scot wanted me to find out if you would be interested in being an assistant coach for South Glen's baseball team."
"Yes, of coarse" Rob responded so quickly that Sam laughed.
"Ok, Scot said tomorrow afternoon at 1:00 be at the locker room to get your uniform and fill out the proper forms. You'll finish out the day then start working a 9-5 as soon as possible for you. I told him I thought you had another Job and may have to give two weeks!"
"I do have a job else were but I don't believe they'll make me give two weeks." he said becoming excited "We can leave for practice together, Ok? what about Aldys' papers?"
"I don't know, I'll be late for practice, I have a doctor's appointment, so we can't go together and I can't get her papers and bring them to practice."
"Oh, I know, I'll send my older sister to pick up her papers tomorrow, she gets off early on Fridays anyway, and we'll meet at practice."
"So I actually get to meet the third Geller child, cool!"
Plans were set by now class was long over, the room was empty, besides them, and Rob began to leave he opened the door. Rob was Just about to step outside when he realized Sam may become a problem for Josie. A lump built up in his throat, he tried to swallow but failed, a wave of worry turned his face to rock. Then still holding the door open he turned to Sam and in level and very stern voice said "Mr. C., if you ever, do anything, to hurt my older sister, you will die a slow and painful death!!"
The power in Rob's voice sent chills down Sam's spine "Rob you can call me Sam, and I have no intention of hurting her I don't even know her" with that Rob left without so much as a reply.
