“Sugar?” she questions.

“You taste so fucking sweet.” I tell her as I jump out of bed and walk to the bathroom.

I come back out and get back in bed.

“I don’t have to get up for a little while longer. Let’s take a nap.” I tell Adriana as I snuggle her from behind.

She nods her head, wraps her arm over mine, and we both fall back asleep.

CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

Adriana

It’s a beautiful evening for a ball game. Heather and I are sitting in what’s come to be our normal seats. We’ve only ever sat in the family and friend’s box twice so far this season. We came to the decision that we love being closer to the game. Being with the fans, their energy is just way better. The seventh inning stretch is just starting, so we know the game is almost over.

“So next week we just have the mini event with the top sponsors and donors for their meet and greet with the guys before the game. Then the gala is two days after. Where has the time gone?” Heather recaps.

“I’m with you. It feels like just yesterday we started planning.” I respond.

“It does in some ways and it doesn’t in others. I guess time flies when you’re having fun,” Heather states.

“That’s true boss lady. We have been having fun. It’s not really work if you ask me.” I say.

“I do have to agree with you there, A.”

“What are you and Ty doing tomorrow with the off day?” I ask.

“Ty booked us a couple’s massage. You and Cole doing anything?” She asks with a smile.

“We are, but he won’t tell me what we are doing.” I complain.

“That’s not fair. How do you know how to dress for what you are doing?” Heather questions.

“Exactly! I asked him what to wear, and he said to be comfortable but no sweats. That didn’t give me any clues to what we are doing either. He only said that we would be gone all day.” I tell her.

“Jeez. Ty hasn’t said anything, but I’ll see if he knows tonight and if he does, I’ll fill you in,” Heather lets me know.

“This is why you are the best.” I say to Heather.

“I try,” she says while laughing.

The slight break is over and the game resumes. When the score gets tied up, the game becomes super intense at the top of the ninth. The game goes into extra innings but the Grizzlies pull out the win.

“You better congratulate that man of yours properly, woman!” I tell Heather as we walk to meet the guys.

“I have a secret for you.”

“That I don’t already know?” I ask.

Heather and I talk every day and so there isn’t much I don’t know already about her day-to-day life.

“We’ve been trying for a baby.”

I stop walking. Heather notices and turns around.

“Really?!” I ask.

“Really. We’ve had time with just us, and I can’t wait for my man to become a father.”
