I woke up the next morning, about the same time as Josh. Last night came back to me, but none of it ashamed me. Or scared me. I looked over and Josh and he kissed me before I could say anything.

I pulled away and giggled. "Good morning." Then I gave him a sweet peck on the lips.

"Good Morning." He smiled. I flipped onto my back and Josh kissed my shoulder. I laughed at him.

"So, batting cages today?" I smiled, and turned my head so I was looking at him.

"You remembered," He smiled. "Yeah, if you still want to go."

"I'll go with you. It'll be another date." I smiled.

"It will." He chuckled.

It only took about 2 hours for my to get ready. The fact that I had to re-apply my make up 3 times. Josh would just laugh and say,

"Reed, you don't need to put on make-up. We're going to play baseball."

But I put it on again anyways. Right now, we where on our way to the New York Sports center. They had like every sport able to play there. We where going to play some indoor baseball.

Josh found a place to park and opened my door. I was wearing jeans, a elbow length Juicy shirt, a pair of gold fitted puma's, and my winter jacket. Josh put his arm around me, as we walked through the snow in the parking lot, to the front door. We paid, and then walked over to a room in a long hallway that had a sign on it 'Baseball'. Josh smiled at me before he opened the door.

I wasn't bad when it came to hitting a ball with a bat. But, I just wasn't the best. There were at least, 6 cages all lined up. Metal fences separated the cages and there where only 2 of them being used. Each cage had one bat leaning up against the wall. Josh walked me over to an empty cage, opened the metal door for me and walked in. I looked down the long cage. At the end was a launch that contained the used baseballs, waiting to be shot out. I looked over at Josh and smiled.

"I used to come here like everyday with my dad, and my brothers." Josh said.

"Brothers?" I asked. I thought he only had one, Lynn.

"Yeah, I have 2 younger ones too. I haven't told you that?" Josh asked.

"No," I said shaking my head. What's with all of this leaving things out? First the Hollis Christmas party, and now this? But a party isn't as big as not knowing your boyfriend has 2 more brothers.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. How could I forget to tell you about my brothers?" Josh shook his head in disbelief.

"Oh, I'm not going to say it's ok. Because it's not." I pointed out.

"I know, I'm sorry." Josh said taking my hands in his. "Ryan and . They have the most random names." Josh said the whispered, "But personally, I think my parent's are just not that creative when it comes to naming their kids."

I smiled.

"I mean, what kind of name is Josh?" He asked. "It's so popular. There where like 6 other Josh's in 8th grade. Yeah, I was Josh H. from there on." He said, pretending to be proud of himself.

I laughed at him and snaked my arms around his neck. "Josh is a wonderful name."

"Reed's much better." He joked.

I laughed again and gave him a quick peck on the lips. "So tell me, why aren't your brothers here this Christmas?" I asked him, my arms still rested around his neck.

"Well, we all went to a public elementary school right?" He asked.

I just nodded.

"And when middle school rolled around for Lynn, he wanted to start boarding school with his friends. And then he would come back ever summer, telling me how much fun it was. I gave it a try in 6th grade, and it just took off from there. I've never been to public since. Then all of my sibiling wanted to try it.

And then my little brother Ryan, a year younger than Tess and Tori, he wanted to go Australia. But, my parents didn't want to have their kid on the other side of the world. So he decided to go to school in Germany. He taught Tess German all summer. She only knows like 3 words though. It's all her brain could hold." Josh shrugged and kissed my hand.

"What about the other one?" I asked him.

"George, is the youngest 12. He's in like I believe 7th grade. Oh, and he's at school in California. Yeah, he couldn't go too far." Josh explained.

"So why aren't they here?" I repeated.

Josh looked up at me. "Ryan is with a bunch of friends in Germany this year. And George was supposed to be FedEx shipped to us a few days ago." Josh joked. I hope.

"Why isn't George here?" I asked.

"You're just full of questions today aren't you?" Josh laughed at me.

"Hey! You're the one who didn't tell me that he had 2 extra brothers scattered around the world!" I told him.

He stopped laughing and became serious. "You're right."

"Just go on." I nudged his shoulder with my elbow.

"Ok, there's like some snowstorm going on in the Mideast so no flights to New York for a few days." Josh shrugged.

"Oh, are you mad their all like… gone?" I asked.

"Heck no! I'm enjoying myself. I'm just going to have to try to survive winter with Tess and Tori. And I know I have to be back in august because I'll be starting college you know? But I don't know where we're going to be in the summer ." He chuckled.

I laughed at him. Trying to ignore the last part. I didn't want to remind myself of him going to college. I would probably start to hyperventilate every time I really think about it.

"Well, now that you know oh so much about my brothers, how about we play some baseball?" He suggested.

"Sounds great." I smiled grabbed the bat on the fence.

Curplunk! Choo! The launcher made that noise every time a ball was shot out. I hit almost everyone. Probably 12 out of 16. When the launcher stopped. I smiled, proud of myself and faced Josh, who was sitting on a bench just out of the connected cage areas. He was smiling bright when I looked at him. The tip of the bat on the ground and I was leaning on it.

He walked up to the cage and opened the door. "Not bad Brennan." He said, his voice was just below a low shout. The commotion was buzzing around us. But his presence seemed to make it fade away.

"Thanks, let's see what you've got Hollis." I smirked and handed him the bat.

"Ok." He gave me a sexy smile back and I walked out of the cage, shutting the door behind me. Josh pressed a red button and the baseballs started flying out again.

A few minutes later, and every single ball hit, Josh finished up. He walked up to me wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me out the door.

"Josh?" I asked.

"I have somewhere to take you." He told me and then we where gone.
