Me
Please don’t go overboard. I can tell Lucy is nervous, just keep it casual please.
Mom
OF COURSE I will. Casual is my middle name.
I snort. Oh boy. I hope my mom can keep her excitement contained and not freak Lucy out. Scrolling through my messages, I see I have one from Reese.
Reese
Well? How did the team do? Was Lucy surprised?
Me
Nosey aren’t we?
Reese
It’s the least you can do after I helped you.
Me
The boys won the tournament. It was a battle man. I haven’t been that nervous for a game since I was a rookie. I’m proud of them. Made me think about why I love baseball.
Reese
Aww listen to the proud not papa.
Me
Don’t be an asshole.
Reese
Too late. And Lucy? Was she surprised?
Me
I don’t think I should answer that. Since you want to be a dick.
Reese
Oh come on man, pull the tampon out. Just tell me.
I sigh, I swear I need new friends.
Me
Yes, she was surprised. I’m actually sitting in her living room right now waiting for them to shower so we can go to my parents.
Reese
Awesome man, I’m happy for you.
Me
Thanks dude.
