Homerun

"You are going to love me!" Megan sang walking into the house.

I sit up staring at her wearily. Normally when she says something like that it's followed up by some sort of adventure. "What did you do?" I worry.

"I just got two plane tickets to Miami and us tickets to the boys games Saturday and Sunday." She smirks holding up boarding passes.

My jaw drops as I stare at her. The guys are on their last two games of the road trip down in Miami. Poor Dansby has had a rough road trip this go round only have 4 hits in 24 at bats and racking up a few errors. "How did you do that?" I ask standing up from the couch.

"Cashed in some frequent flyer miles, and you known Landon at work? Well his brother is a big Marlins fan and was in town this week. I was telling him how Ender and I were talking so he offered me his tickets to both games this weekend! So go pack a bag we're going to see our men!"

"Oh my gosh your right I do love you!" I exclaim hugging her before taking off to my room and packing bag quickly. I pause when I look down and see Munson running around my feet. "Meg!" I call making her come to my room.

"Yea, you ready?" She ask leaning on the door frame.

"Almost. "I nod down to Munson. "What am I suppose to do with him?"

"Got your brother to house sit." She smiles twirling her keys. "He'll be here around 5 but we need to leave now to make it to the airport by our flight time."

"Alright." I pick up the bag packed and threw it over my shoulder. I can't wait to surprise Dansby.

"Oh we're gonna miss most of the game tonight cause we'll be on the plane at the start of it." Megan informs me as she tosses her bag in the back of her explorer.

"I'm gonna text Dansby now then so he doesn't get suspicious." I pull out my to text him.

Me:
Good luck tonight superstar💙 keep your head up and play hard😘

I squeal as we step off the plane in Miami. It's 11 pm when we land and needless to say I'm exhausted. "I can't believe we're surprising them." I laugh as we head toward the place to pick up our rental car.

"You best believe it." She bumps me. "And something better come out of this and by something I mean you and Dansby need to head back to Georgia a couple."

I roll my eyes at her as we approach the rental place. "Well I don't see that happening."

She opens her mouth to say something but stops. "I'm going to get our car then we're continuing this."

I take a seat on the bench close to me with all our bags. Taking my phone off airplane mode I see a few messages from Dansby and a missed FaceTime.

Dans💙❤️⚾️
Kinda in need of a pep talk after that game can I call you?

Dans💙❤️⚾️ missed FaceTime call

Dans💙❤️⚾️
Your probably asleep, just call me in the morning and we'll talk❤️

I felt bad for not answering and decided to call him back when I get to the hotel room. Being curious as to how the game went I pull up my ESPN app to see they lost in extra innings. Dansby was 1-4 and made an error.

"Got the keys lets go." I look up to see Megan standing there holding some keys. "Why do you look so down?" She ask as I stand up.

"Dansby just text me while we were on the plane wanting to talk because he had a bad game." I shrug. "I think I'm gonna give him a call when we get to the hotel."

"And tell him what when he realizes you aren't in your room?" She brings up a good point.

"Well your there so I'll just say I'm in your room?" I mean that should work.

"I guess that could work." She shrugs opening the door to the small car we rented.

Our ride to the hotel was quickly seeing as it was only 10 minutes from the airport. Megan made sure to book at the same hotel the boys are staying at. "Hi I have a reservation under Andrews." She smiles at the receptionist.

"Megan?" The lady ask looking up board.

"Yes ma'am and I have a question." She leans on the counter so she could lower her voice. "We're surprising two of the player on the Atlanta Braves and I was wondering if you could put us on a floor without any of them. We just don't wanna get caught before tomorrow night."

"Maybe you should've checked in later than." She blankly says holding our key cards out. "Room 312."

Megan huffs and snatched the keys from her hand as we truck our way up to the third floor. Lucky we didn't pass anyone.

"I'm exhausted." I groan throwing myself on a bed. "I need to call Dans though."

"Well you do that I'm taking a shower so my hair will be straight tomorrow." I wave her off already having my phone out of my pocket.

It rang for a moment before saying connecting. "Hey baby girl." He answers in a raspy voice. He was sitting in his room shirtless and messy haired but I must say this might be my favorite look on him.

"Hey, did I wake you?" I ask laying my head down on the bed.

"No you didn't. Where are you at babe?" He squints looking at my surroundings.

"Megan's room." I swiftly answer. "Sorry I missed your call earlier, I feel asleep watching the game and Megan just woke me up." I lied.

"It's alright you had a long day at work." He was right I had to deal with the bitchiest today who refused to go up on her price range but expects me to find everything the wants.

"Still I feel bad. What'd you want to talk about?" I watch as he gives a sad smile.

"I don't know, I guess this road trip just kind of has me down and seeing your beautiful face always seems to make me happier." I blush at his comment.

"Well I'll do anything I can do to help." I smile at him.

"I'd really just love to be cuddled up with you watching a movie right now rather than being in this cold hotel room with Ender who won't stop snoring." He moves the camera over so I can see Ender passed out in his bed, mouth agape and snores coming from it.

A smile knowing that I can solve half of that problem tomorrow night. "You'll be home in no time and then we can have a movie night."

"That sounds prefect." He smiles but I can see it is forced.

"You're tired as hell Dans and I can see it in your eyes. Get some sleep and I'll talk to you tomorrow ok?" I say watching as he nods his head.

"Sounds good. Night baby girl." He says before ending the call.

I sit on the bed blushing like a fool at the nickname he has picked up for me. Something about Dansby has me falling head over heels for him and I can only hope he's there to catch me because if not, I don't know if I can pick myself up a second time.
