Chapter 2 - get in the car

Rylee Jane's POV

Sitting next to Jacob in the Braves stadium, he holds my thigh. I'm salty right now, he just doesn't see money the way I do. He spends everything he makes and it's his money but I thought he'd be worried about saving for us, and eventually us moving into a home in the suburbs that we have always talked about.

He didn't even get lucky today like he thought he would, I couldn't have sex with him when I was pissed off so I used my period as an excuse and he left me alone, even though I'm not supposed to start for two more weeks.

"I haven't been here in years. I'm excited." Jacob tells me as I nod and smile at him. He's wearing a navy baseball cap with the Braves logo on it and a regular tee shirt. I just curled my light brown hair into waves and applied a little eye shadow and mascara to my green eyes to cover how puffy my face is. Then I threw on a oversized red tee with a pocket, something I had from game day in my sorority years ago, with jeans and a Braves hat. I think I look cute with my gold hoops and white fake Alexander Mcqueen sneakers I bought from a website in China. Surprisingly I get compliments on them, I just thought they were cute and only cost me sixty bucks.

"Yeah, I hope it's good." I tell him as I rub his bicep and look around the stadium. It's filling up quickly since this is supposed to be a good game, I didn't even read the tickets though and I have no idea who they are playing.

"Okay, what's wrong?" He blankly asks as I shake my head no. "Nothing Jac, I'm fine." I admit as he rolls his eyes.

"RJ tell me" he tells me as I look down at my hands. My bare hands beside my college ring, and I don't know why all of a sudden after someone asking me why I'm not engaged that it bothers me so much.

"Jac, I just-, I thought we have been saving for a wedding and home and you just blew four hundred dollars on this." I explain to him pointing at the football field. "Normal tickets are like eighty bucks for two, but you had to get full passes and all this extra shit. We could have sat in the nosebleeds and I would have been fine as long as it was reasonable. This is half of our apartment rent this month." I tell him as he sighs.

"Rylee-" he goes to start as the announcer starts and cuts him off. "We'll talk about it later, no point in crying about what's already done." I tell him as I look back around to the front. We do have a awesome view, and food that's actually good so I'm going to enjoy it. I can smell the homemade mac and cheese and pasta with the fried foods from these seats.

But then the innings start, and they never end. It's forever before the last pitch is thrown and the last out is made.

When the games over Jacob takes my hand and we make our way out of the stadium and to the car. He opens my door on the side of his truck before I get in and he pulls off towards the apartment. He reaches over and rubs my thigh as I set my hand on his and rub it back.

"RJ I love you and you know that. I just wanted to do something besides work and pay bills. I'll ask next time if it's that big of a deal." He scoffs as I glare at him.

"That big of a deal? You have no idea" I tell him as I contain my voice. I feel tears forming in my eyes as I look away from him and throw his hand away from my thigh at him.

"Oh really and what's the issue?" He asks as I look out the window. He pulls through town and I don't talk to him as he tries to touch me and I push him away.

"RJ stop." He tells me as I flip him off. "What the fuck is your problem today?" He asks as he stops at the red light.

"My problem? My problem? Maybe it's the fact that we've been together for four years and I don't have an engagement ring. Maybe it's the fact that Braves baseball tickets are more important than us buying a house and raising a family together! Screw me for wanting a life besides this!" I exclaim grabbing the door handle. I grab it to get out and onto the sidewalk as he tries to grab me and I push him off.
