Homerun

•29•

Getting out of the cab I slide my sunglasses on my face. The warm Los Angeles air hitting my face welcomingly. The team was in the middle of a game in San Francisco and was heading here afterwards. Dansby somehow talk the Skipper into letting him stay in the room with me.

Walking into the hotel lobby I approach the front desk moving my glasses into the top of my head. "Hi I have a reservation under Zaiser." I tell the girl sitting at the desk.

"Oh you're the one that's with Dansby Swanson." She scowls. "How unfortunate."

"I'm sorry is there a problem." I snap placing my hands on my hips.

"No, I just figured someone as sexy as him would date someone...." her eyes scan over me. "Smaller...prettier."

I felt my fist clench as I tried to contain myself. "Well sorry to disappoint you, but Dansby seems perfectly happy with me."

"Probably not for long. Room 842." She slides the key across the counter before walking into the back.

Gathering myself I make my way into the elevator pressing the 8th floor button. Once I reach the room I swipe the card opening the door. I sigh in content at the size of the bed. Walking over to it I fall letting my body sink into it. Grabbing the controller I flip on the game to see that it was the bottom of the 9th and the braves were up 12-11.

"Yes that's my baby!" I clap as Dansby makes the game ending out. Knowing that it was only a couple hours till Dansby gets here I go ahead and take my shower before slipping on one of his Vandy shirts I had stolen from him. Settling in the bed I begin watching a re-run of the game seeing as I hadn't gotten to see it.

I must have fallen asleep at some point because next thing I know a pair of lips are kissing up my neck. "Mhhh hey superstar." I smile rolling over onto my back.

"Hey baby." He grins pressing his lips to mine finally. "I've missed you."

"It's only been 3 days." I laugh running a hand through his hair as he falls next to me.

"I know but 3 days with out kissing you had been killing me." He gives me his cheeky grin.

"Oh my god your horny aren't you." I laugh shoving his face away from mine as he leans in again.

"I wasn't until we were on the plane and Ender was talking about these sexy picture Megan had sent him as good luck before the game and so then I had to pull up that picture..." I cut him off by sitting straight up in the bed.

"Dansby Swanson I swear if you showed that picture to anyone and I mean anyone." Dansby stops me pressing his lips to mine.

"Baby girl you don't have to worry about me showing anyone because trust me I'm the only one who gets to see you like that." I blush hiding my face in his shoulder.

Last week when they were in Toronto Dansby was feeling really down about himself so wanting to make him feel better I sent him a picture of me in his white jersey having it unbuttoned all the way and just a pair of navy lace panties on. Needless to say his spirits were lifted by that. 

"Good. That would be utterly embarrassing if you had." I mumble laying my head on his chest.

"Why's that? You're beautiful you should be proud of you body." He says running his fingers up and down my shoulder.

"I am proud of it. It's just back in high school one of the girls on the basketball team had something against Meg, myself and our friend Liz so one day while we were changing for practice she snapped some pictures of us naked and posted them on this slut shaming page from my school. I got so much shit from it I spent half of my junior year hiding from everyone. It got worse when a guy I was dating at the time commented on there and said I was kinky in bed, we had never had sex. From then on every guy thought I was going to be easy to get into bed." I tell him as I trace small figures on his bare chest.

"That's awful Taz." He whispers kissing my head. "You didn't deserve any of that."

I shrug with a sigh. "Looking back on it, it was really stupid at the time because I don't give a shit about what any of those guys from high school thinks about me now but back then all I had was my reputation. Look at me now.." I chuckle. "I'm one of the most successful relators in Atlanta, I have a guy who treats me like a princess, and a life I love. Nothing from my past maters."

"You amazing me Taegan Zaiser." I can see him smile down at me in the dim light.

"You well you're pretty amazing yourself superstar. Now get some sleep, you've got a big game tomorrow." I kiss him one last time before cuddling into his side.

"Dans, Dansby wake up." I whisper poking his face.

"Mhhh Taz what the hell." He groans pushing my finger out of his face.

"Dans I'm hungry." I whine poking his shoulder. "I wanna go to Jack's n Joe they're suppose to have the bed pancakes in LA." I beg tugging on his arm.

"What time is it?" He mumbled turning his head away from me.

"11 so that means it's time to get your cute little ass up and lets go get some breakfast." When he doesn't move I know it's time for extreme measures to be taken. Throwing my leg over him I straddle trailing kisses down his bare back.

"Don't start something you can't finish Zaiser." Dansby warms lifting his head only slightly.

"Who says I can't Swanson?" I tease. "I'll tell you what if you get up I'll let you join me in the shower... if not you can just lay here while I go out and see LA by myself." I swing my leg over climbing off his back and making my way into the bathroom.

I hear him groan and smile to myself as I turn the water on. Throwing his shirt over my head I step under the water letting the steam relax me. Moments later the bathroom door opens and the curtain moves allowing Dansby to slip in behind me. "I'm mad at you." He mumbled wrapping his arms around my waist and kissing my shoulder.

"Sorry I wasn't going to let you sleep up until you had to report to the field." I laugh turning around. "Besides isn't this more fun?" I lean forward pressing my lips to his as he immediately moves to push me against the shower walls.

"Most definitely." He nods before moving down my neck. After a quick go round in the shower Dansby and I made our way down to the lobby and in hand.

"Mi hermano! Taegan!" Dansby and I both turn to see Ender coming out of his room. "I see you two finally emerge."

Dansby cocks his head to the side. "What do you mean?"

Ender laughs shaking his head. "Do you not check your phone hombre? A lot of us woke up this morning and went to breakfast. Matt, Nick and myself all text you about it."

Curiously I reach in Dansby's pocket and pull out his phone seeing he does indeed have a text from Nick, Matt and Ender. "Sorry man I was extremely tired last night then got straight in the shower this morning. I haven't even looked at my phone since I got in last night."

"It's alright, Taegan have you talk to Megan lately?" He asks turning his attention to me.

"Not since last night why?" I ask wrapping my arm around Dansby's.

"I invited her out to Cincinnati when we head there Friday, she said she had to talk to you first." I laugh, Megan always asks for opinion before making any decisions.

"I haven't spoke to her today but I'll go ahead and tell you I'm gonna tell her to come." Ender's smile grows wide.

"Awesome thank you, eress el mejor." Not knowing what he just said I nod bidding him goodbye as Dansby and I head out of the lobby.

"Dans what the hell did he say at the end." I ask making him laugh.

"He said you're the best." I nod my head getting it now.

"Damn right I am."
