Corey's POV
The sun shining through causes me to groan in annoyance not wanting to get up. Realizing I wasn't in my sheets I shoot up from the unknown bed to see Jackie. I run my hand through my hair as I try to recall last night. I notice I don't have any pants on and she doesn't have any clothes on either. As I'm staring at her little bits and pieces are starting to come together. Obviously we did something because our clothes were scattered all around her room. I just didn't know how far we had taken it. We were both pretty much drunk last night, I can remember sitting on her couch drinking a few drinks when she told me that her and Oliver broke up. And that's when it hit me, I started everything, I kissed her, I brought her in to her room, I took her clothes off I did everything. Mortified, I put my face into my hands shaking my head at what I did. I can't believe it, I respect Jackie so much I honestly can't believe I did that to her. I wasn't the only one who wanted it though we were both upset we both needed an escape from reality. I guess we were each others escapes.
I didn't want to wake Jackie up so I quickly got out of bed and put my clothes back on before I could be late to practice this morning. I didn't want to leave without an explanation as to why I had to leave. We both have been through a lot and I don't want her to think I used her just for sex.
Jackie
I'm sorry I had to leave before you could wake up but I have practice to go to. I'm sorry about last night if you never want to talk to me again I understand. But I just want to thank you Jackie for everything.
I leave the note by her dresser by her bed and exit her room. I quickly grab Hazel and walk out to my car. I put head to the steering wheel not believing what I did to Jackie. I've been attracted to her since the day I saw her in Arizona but, I never thought something like this would happen. I'm so mad at myself I never wanted to treat a woman like this especially Jackie.
Jackie's POV
I woke up with one of the worst headaches ever and the sun blazing through my room isn't helping. Being cold I go to grab my comforter to snuggle into when I notice I don't have any clothes on. I sit up in bed seeing that my clothes are all over the floor. I go to put my hair in a ponytail when I see a note on my dresser.
I read the note and I'm so disappointed in myself. This is the first time I've ever done something like this. I prided myself to not have one night stands and it was hard to do so especially since I was at USC and all of those guys are hot. I just feel more disappointed now because it was Corey it wasn't just some random dude. Corey means so much to me he's one of the greatest friends I've ever had and I'm pretty sure I just ruined it. In the note he said he would understand if I never wanted to talk to him again but I do, I do want to talk to him. I'm just not sure if he wants to talk to me. The only thing that is confusing me is we both wanted it, so what does that do to our relationship, we can't jump in to being together it doesn't work like that. Wanting someone to talk to about all of this who will give me no judgement I call up Drew. With one ring he picks up.
'Hey Jacks what's up?'
'Drew I messed up big time!'
'Oh no what did you do?'
'So Oliver broke up with me even though we weren't official and Corey just broke up with Maddy following?
'Yeah ,continue.'
'Ok so while he was at practice, I offered to watch his dog. And when he came back to pick her up I offered him a drink which he took. Well, one drink lead to... I don't even remember how many. Anyways we had sex and I don't know what to do.' Tears start to brim my eyes as my nervous habit of scratching on my chest hard kicked in.
'Jackie breathe.' I take a big deep breath in and keep doing it until I calm down a bit.
'Ok, did you use protection?' I bite my lip trying to remember.
*Flashback*
Corey hits my sensitive spot on my neck causing me to let out another moan. I grab his face and pulling him back up to my lips so he could kiss me. I broke the kiss looking at him with a smile coming on my face.
"Do you have a condom?" Corey gulps and heads to his pants to retrieve his wallet. He pull out a condom and rips the packing open with his teeth....
*End of flashback*
'Yeah we did'
'Ok good, that's good. Well how do you feel?'
'Embarrassed' Hearing a sigh from the other line, I grab my blanket and put it over my head.
'It's ok, I know you're not used to one night stands but it's natural Jackie. All you can do is learn from the experience and move on. Yes it will be awkward when you see Corey at work but you gotta act like nothing happened or that it doesn't bother you.'
'You're right. Thank you Drew. I know you barely moved out but I miss you already.'
'I know I miss you too. I hate working for my dad but I have no choice.'

I had no choice but to suck up this hang over that I had and go to work. I'm not going to lie I'm so nervous about seeing Corey today. I don't know how he's going to act around me, like if he's going to pretend nothing happened or if he won't even acknowledge me.
I get to the ballpark not really wanting to talk to anybody I head straight over to Jason's office. I see that Kendra is already in there and that they were waiting for me. We get our assignment for what needs to be done today and head off. Luckily I wasn't going to be on the field at all today and I was just in charge of the fans tonight.
We were playing Chicago tonight so, that meant a lot of people were coming to the game tonight. The boys killed it in the away series giving them a lead of 4 games in first place with the Rockies in second. Our staring pitching has been going deep in to games lately which has been a huge plus on the offense knowing that they need to give them run support. Everyone is on fire both offensively and defensively so to see what kind of show the boys were going to put on was exciting. Even though I work for the Dodgers I'm still fan so of course I geek out when the boys are doing well.
I finish all of my work by the 8th inning giving our cameraman Josh a hug while I leave to go sit down. I usually meet up with my aunt in the dugout but today I didn't want to. Dylan Floro breezed through the heart of the order of the cubs and now it was our turn to bat. Corey was leading off the bottom of the eight and he was 3 for 3 tonight with two doubles and single with 4 rbi's. To say he was doing good was an understatement. Corey was behind in the count 1-2 when he sends a no doubter to straight away center. Everyone was on their feet excited and as Corey was rounding third he looked up into the stands and we made eye contact. It's like the world was moving in slow motion, he tipped his cap at me causing me to blush and continued his trot to the plate. The dodgers ended up winning 7 to 2 giving Julio the win. During the ninth inning my aunt texted me to meet her in the dug out for the interviews.
We started with Docs since his was always first and made our way over to the club house. Luckily for me my aunt interviewed Corey on the field so we wouldn't be asking any questions for him. Instead we interviewed Julio, Justin and Max on their performances tonight. We wrap up with everything pretty late so I say goodnight to my aunt and go to my car. As I'm walking over to my car I see a familiar 6'4 figure leaning on my car. As I get closer Corey makes his way over to me, meeting me half way.
"Hey" He say quietly putting his hands in his pockets.
"Hi" I return quietly as well. "Good game out there, you killed it."
He chuckles coming closer bridging the gap in between us. "Thanks. Listen I'm sorry about yesterday, it should have never happened. I understand if you don't want to be friends anymore."
I give him a weak smile as I can see in his eye he was scared of what I might say. "I'm sorry about last nigh too. You're right it should have never happened but I still want to be friends with you. But, the only way we can still be friends is if we act like this never happened." He looks shocked at what I just said but all he does is nod. We say our goodbyes as I head home ready to knock out.
