Chapter 6

They had arrived at Fenway Park and got out of the car, their outfits almost matching. They were both wearing a Red Sox jersey, blue jeans, and a Rex Sox baseball cap.

After buying their tickets at the booth and entered the stadium, Ady stopped in her tracks. "Damn it!"

John turned around quickly, concerned. "What happened?"

She pulled her cell phone out of her purse and started dialing Brendan's number. "Brendan and I were supposed to go out to lunch today." She put the phone to her ear and waited for him to pick up.

After a couple of rings, he answered. "Hello?"

She and John started walking to their gate. "Hey Brendan."

"Ady! How are you, sexy?"

She blushed and giggled a little bit. "I'm great How about you?"

"Awesome, now that I'm talking to you."

"Aw, stop it!"

"So, when are we meeting for lunch?"

"That's actually why I called. I'm sorry, but I can't make it."

"What happened?"

"My best friend is in town for the next couple of weeks, and we're gonna spend some time, just hanging out."

"Well, where are you right now?"

John tapped Ady on the shoulder. "Hang on Brendan." She blocked the receiver and looked up at John. "What do you want, dorkwad?"

He laughed. "What do you want to eat?"

"Get me some nachos and some orange soda." He nodded and went to wait in line. She went back to talking to Brendan. "Sorry about that. John was buying me food from the vendors."

"John?"

"Yeah, he's just my best friend." Yeah, just a friend. Hmpf.

"Oh. So where are you guys?"

"We're at Fenway. We're gonna watch the Red Sox whoop the Yankees blind."

"Sounds like fun. Well, maybe we could go out tomorrow instead."

"Sounds great. I'll call you tomorrow!"

"Bye Ady."

"Bye Brendan." She hung up the phone and put the phone back in her purse. She looked up again and saw John standing there with her nachos and her drink. She smiled and took them. "Thanks."

"Anytime. Now let's go watch the game." He walked off to the gate, with Ady following close behind.

The game had been very close, with the Yankees and Red Sox giving it their all. What the Red Sox would dish out, the Yankees would give right back. By the last out in the first half of the seventh inning, the score was 4-2 in favor of the Yankees.

Ady and John were sitting back, enjoying the break from their yelling and screaming. They had started many "Yankees suck!" chants, and their throats were hurting from it all.

Ady took a sip from her soda and put it back, sighing contently. "This is awesome. I haven't been to a game in ages." John didn't respond. Instead, he was sitting back, watching the TitanTron in anticipation. She looked over at him, watching him stare. "What are you waiting for?"

He smiled as he pointed to it. "Look."

She looked up at the screen and saw they were on there. The stadium was watching random couples kiss on screen. She looked at him and grinned. "So?"

He leaned in and kissed her lips softly, surprising her. She closed her eyes and kissed him back, letting the feel of his soft lips sink in.

When they broke it, Ady sat back and took a deep breath. "Wow." I hope this means what I think it means.

John couldn't stop looking at her. "Yeah." I wonder if that really meant to her as much as it did to me.

She turned to face him and smiled again. "So, that's the special event?"

He shook his head and smirked. "Well, one. But there's another surprise at the end of the game."

She sat up and looked at him eagerly. "What else are you doing?"

"You'll see."

Ady sat back as the game continued. She became more and more impatient as each minute passed. Finally another hour later, the game ended and the Red Sox had won. Before Ady and John left their seats, a security guard approached them.

"Excuse me, are you John Cena?"

John smiled and shook his hand. "That'd be me."

"Come this way please." He walked off. John and Ady walked closely behind, trying to keep up.

When they reached the field, the security guard turned around. "The Red Sox will be out in a minute. Just wait here please."

Ady looked at John, who was smirking again. She playfully punched his arm. "No way! You're getting the whole team out here?"

"Yeah. You deserve to meet them, especially Mark Bellhorn."

Her face lit up when he mentioned Mark's name. "Oh my god!" She smiled and jumped on him, hugging him as tightly as she could. "Thank you so much!"

He hugged her back, laughing. "No problem. You're just lucky I've got connections."

She got down and grinned. "I know. That's why you're my best friend." She kissed his cheek and waited for the team to arrive.

After about fifteen minutes, John and Ady were on their way back to the parking lot, Ady's hands full of autographed stuff. They drove back to Ady's house, her smiling the whole time. But meeting the Red Sox wasn't the best thing that had happened to her that afternoon. It was kissing John that made her day.
