I nodded and followed him out. We walked down the hallway and went back down the elevator we had come up in. We walked until we reached a door with a sign above it that said CLUBHOUSE.

He opened the door and without warning, threw his hand over my eyes. I jumped slightly, causing a light laugh from Corey. "Sorry. It's mandatory that we do this if a girl or kid is coming in." I nodded and just walked where he led me.

"Everyone dressed?" I heard him call out. He received a series of yeahs, yups, and one person who called out, "Who are you bringing in?"

Corey finally moved his hands from my eyes, and I was faced with a room full of men. There were a few that looked around my brother's age, and a fair amount that looked like Corey's and the other boys that had greeted us in the beginning.

There was a lot that looked older though. "So you guys know the kid that's playing with us while Joc's on the DL, Cody Bellinger. This is his twin sister Cloe."

Everyone came up and introduced themselves to me. They were all nice, but I have to say my favorite was Kike. He was one of the only boys in the room that didn't seem to be over 6'0 which meant I didn't have to look up quite as much to talk to him. Plus he was amusing.

"I haven't gotten to meet your brother yet." The man that had introduced himself as 'Gonzo started talking. "How old are you guys?"

"We're 21."

"Oh wow, this kid's young." He turned and said to another older guy. His name was Chase I believe.

"I'm going to go talk to Joc. Want to come with?" Corey whispered in my ear since everyone around us was talking. I nodded and followed him through the group of players and down a hall that led to an exercise room where I'm guessing Joc was.

"How come all the players are here if you guys don't have practice?" I asked Corey.

"Whenever a new AAA player comes up that's never played with us before, we all go out to dinner. Are you going to come too?"

"Oh, Cody never said anything about a team dinner. And probably not, I was planning on doing homework tonight."

"Are you sure? These dinners are always fun."

"Yea I'm sure. Cody might be mad though since we'll have to go home first to drop me off since he'll need my car."

"I'll give you a ride home. You can just let him take your car from here."

"Are you sure? I don't want you to have to be late to your dinner."

"How about we leave now? Then you can be back with time to do your work, and I'll be at the dinner on time."

"Sure, I'll just have to go find Cody and tell him."

"Okay. Here, this door takes us to the dugout." We started walking to the door he was pointing to.

"Wait, didn't you need to talk to Joc."

He shrugged before saying, "I'll talk to him later."

Corey opened the door and motioned to Cody who was sitting in the dugout since he was waiting for his turn to bat again. Cody saw him and walked over to where we were standing.

"Hey, Corey's going to give me a ride home so that you can take my car to your team dinner thingy," I said while handing him my keys.

His face instantly turned to a smirk which earned a chuckle from Corey. I rolled my eyes and slapped my brother on the arm. "Here asshole, you're going to need these," I said and handed him my keys.

"K bye Clo love you text me when you get home. Drive safe with her please." Corey and Cody did some weird bro shake then we left.

"How did you guys do that?" I asked. Corey gave me a confused look and asked what I meant.

"I mean how do all guys just have this like secret handshake that they all instantly know how to do it."

Apparently what I said was Comedy Central worthy because Corey was dying laughing. "I have no idea actually. It's just like some unspoken thing between all guys."

We had finally gotten to his car which was really extravagant. It looked brand new still. He wasn't getting in, he just leaned on the car, so I did the same.

"Well, that's pretty weird. You guys are like mind readers." I finally said.

Corey didn't say anything, just looked at me. He smiled slightly to himself. I gave him a questioning look.

"Sorry," Corey said snapping out of his thoughts. "It's just... I don't know. Has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?"

I felt my face get hot so I looked down because I was too embarrassed to let him see. "You're sweet."

"I hope I'm not coming off as weird, but I was really hoping I could take you to lunch tomorrow." He said smiling slightly.

I was shocked. He wanted to hang out with me? This whole time I had just thought he was hanging out with me so I could let Cody practice.

I wanted to of course. "I'd love to."

His smile got more prominent, and I couldn't help but stare. "Let's get you home now." He came around to my side and opened my door.

"What a gentleman," I said laughing. He gave a goofy bow in return before going over and getting in on his side.

I gave him directions while he drove. When we finally pulled into my complex, he followed me out. "There's no way I'm letting you walk back alone."

"It's still light out," I said.

"Still. You never know what someone might do when they spot a girl like you walking by herself."

I smiled, not really knowing what to say back. God this boys got me messing myself up. I can't help but feel special when he looks at me with those blue eyes of his.

Corey's POV

It's barely been a few hours, but I'm really starting to like this girl. She was gorgeous and sweet and unique and she deserves so much more than the cards she was dealt.

We walked into her building and went straight to the elevator. I couldn't help but stare.

She was so beautiful. Her hair was long on her shorter frame, and it was this deep shade of brown.

You could tell she was a softball player by the way she was built. She had an ass, and I don't mean to sound like a perv but I can't help but stare. I'm a guy it's what we do.

We got to the top floor and walked to the very last door at the end of the hall. "Thanks for the ride." She said quietly; I'm not sure why though, there was no one else that could hear us.

"Of course. I'll pick you up at around one tomorrow. Is that fine?" I talked in a low voice too just since she was.

"Yea, that's fine. I'll be ready." She had to look up at me just to look me in the eye.

"Okay," I spoke but didn't break eye contact. I froze. This girl was already doing things to me, and I had just met her. Everything I thought I knew about what to do when you're falling for a girl disappeared. She had me speechless.

"I'll see you tomorrow." She said before going inside and closing the door.

I should've kissed her.
