I wake up earlier then Bells as she cuddles into the bed, I kiss her forehead and get into the shower and head off to the stadium with the team. Kiké walks up to me as he nudges me

"are you being serious Cody?" He asks as I laugh softly

"I know it's early, we've only been together for 2 months. But, Kiké never once have I felt so connected to someone like I do with Bells. She literally always makes me seeing my family possible, yeah they come to my games but she wants to me to go visit and she wants them to come. She wants family dinners with mine and I know my family loves her already. Bro, she makes me happy, like after a loss usually one gets down and I really try to be but knowing she's waiting at the house or at the hotel room for me, like it makes it hard and I just smile. I have to talk to my family and see but I'm so ready Kiké, I really am" I say to him as he smiles widely and giggles

"This is what Cody Bellinger looks like when he's in love? Bro, I love your family don't get me wrong. But if you truly love someone and my the looks of it you're absolutely in love with Bells then forget what people say. Do what makes you happy" He smiles at me

I nod as I begin thinking of it more

"A promise ring is a good start right? It's not an engagement but I'm promising her that it'll happen eventually, right?" I ask softly

"Yeah bro, a promise ring is a good start. Can we do a dinner when that happens? I want to experience this with you" He laughs jokingly as I smile

We get to batting practice as the guys and I joke around while we wait for our turn in the cage.

Eli meets me in the room we we get ready and talk about everything

"dude, have your grades came in?" She asks as I freeze

"fuck. I haven't even realized that our grades were coming out" I say as I quickly grab my laptop and check my grades

The site loads as it finally shows my grades

"let's goo! straight A's" I smile widely as Elizabeth cheers

"That makes two of us! I honestly thought we would fail being that we haven't been going to school cause of the guys" She says as I nod

"So did I, im so happy. I can relax a bit now knowing that I have my grades the same" I smile widely as we finish up and meet the girls as we head to the stadium to see the boys

Ashli giggles as she runs to me and hugs me tightly, "hey" I laugh softly as I hug her tightly as well

I hug the rest of the Bellingers' as I smile widely

"So dinner on Thursday at Cody's house, or should we do a dinner at a restaurant?" I ask as they look over at each other

"For now, Cody's. Just because we don't exactly know how that'll work out. But, we'll do the dinner, you guys get to relax" She smiles as I nod

"I can't let you do that, Im going to help you out regardless" I laugh softly as she nods

Eli and I walk with Ashli as we watch the game, I grab a drink with Elizabeth

"Cheers to a Uni grad, and 2 struggling straight A students" We laugh as we drink and Ashli drinks a Coke

Now we hope and pray that the Dodgers get the win tonight

We lost the game, so now we hope that we can catch up back at home. I see my family as I smile widely and hug them tightly

"where's my girl?" I ask Ashli

"She went back to your room. She began getting a headache and wasn't feeling good so Eli and her headed back to the hotel." I nod as I breath softly

"I have something to tell you guys and I really do need your opinions on it, because you guys are one that matters the most" I say to them

"Cody, what is it?" They ask as they have a sort of worried look on their face

I smile as I bite my lip, here goes.

a/n : 2-0. I really hope they can catch up on Friday and Saturday 😭🤞🏽
