Someone like You 34

Sam gave her ticket and Justin's to the man at the gate as they walked inside the stadium, they had some time before the game actually started, walking by the merchandise Sam grabbed a T shirt and caps for both the boys then grabbed a couple of drinks and joined her colleagues in the seats they had reserved for the company. Looking down at her watch the game would be starting in about a half hour.

"We need to get home dad, the game is going to be starting in about twenty minutes."

"Okay buddy," he said as he finished with his lunch as the waitress cleaned up after them, grabbing the tab he put the bill down on the table and walked out the door and made his way home, as Michael ran up ahead of him he had to run to keep up with him. "What are you in such a rush for?"

"Just excited to see the first game of the season."

Jason knew that where ever Sam was she would be watching this game, she absolutely loved the Yankees with a passion, and if she were here, there would be dinner and pie and the four of them would be sitting around the TV watching it. As they made their way up the elevator, he couldn't stop thinking about her. Ever since that dream he had of her, it had renewed his hope. Walking inside the penthouse Michael switched on the set and then sat down as Jason tossed his keys on the desk just as the stats of the teams were being said and the first ball was about to be thrown. Jason came and sat down by Michael and kicked back.

Meanwhile...

Sam sat in the crowd with one thing on her mind, actually two. Jason and Michael and how she wished they were here with her. As the announcer said the name of the first Yankee player up at the plate she watched as he swung and missed, another ball thrown and he smacked it and made a home run as she jumped up and down in the stands the camera panned around and caught her and Justin.

"I wonder if Sam is there dad, do you think she might be?"

"What?" He asked grabbing a beer from the fridge and shutting it, trying to make it back in time before the next homerun as he remembered the time Sam's favorite player hit one out of the park, grabbing the boys' hands she danced around the living room then looked at him, and setting his beer down for him landed in his lap and kissed him wildly, "always," she whispered as her lips grazed ear.

At the game...

Sam looked at the scoreboard it was the 8th inning it had become hot out here the score was 7 – 2 Yankees winning of course, this game was pretty much a done deal unless the opposing team would be able to come up with 5 runs, which by the looks of it wasn't possible.

As Michael watched it...

"I think the Yankees pretty much have this one bagged." Michael said, "I want to go to another game dad, can we?"

"Sure"

"Can we look it up online today and see their schedule?"

"Yeah."

Michael and Jason sat and watched until the end of the game, then went upstairs and got online to see when the next game would be; finding the next the one they could make it to, it would be in three weeks around the time that Michael would be getting out of school for the summer.

Later that evening Sam took out Michael's shirt and hat, as she smoothed it out and bringing it up to her mouth she kissed it, "don't forget about me, because I will never forget about you." Then tucking it into the box with the note she sealed it up and put it with her purse in the closet.

"Hey mom is it okay if we go out for a walk?"

"Yeah, sure, are you ready." She asked as he looked up at her with his eyes, and it wasn't Zander that she saw in them but the way Jason looked at her as she stared at him.

"What's the matter mommy?"

"Nothing," Unable to tear her eyes from him until he looked away and then back at her.
