that was what a professional career was
all about – making sure that you did your best at every game to take your
team to the top. I looked over at my father and grinned, reading the look on
his face. We were both very proud of our players and of the team in general. As
we watched the play ensue before us, the batter and the other two players made
it home, pulling out into a solid lead against the other team.
    That wasn't just the only great play of the game. After the
home run, the team went ahead and scored a couple more good runs. Things were
getting close, and it was starting get hard to tell who was going to win.
    When the third batter struck out, I knew that the team was
going to have to fight to keep their win and not plunge the game into overtime.
Overtime was always a tricky place to be in, if you took your team there, there
was a chance you could lose everything. My father and I did not want an
overtime game. We wanted our team to win and win fast. I smiled as I saw
Bennett Thomas take the field. He looked strong and sexy as he walked out. I
beamed with pride as I saw him. Just the sight of him made me get to my feet
once again and cheer excitedly for him. That was my man, after all. I had all
the faith in the world that he was going to turn this game around for us. The
crowd cheered loudly, roaring with excitement.
    Just as he had done his AAA team, Bennett had become very
comfortable with the major leagues quickly and it was no big surprise that he
had learned how to ensure a win for his team. And that was exactly what my
father and I were counting on. It didn’t take Bennett long to strike out the
first three batters that come out onto the field, winning the game for the
Stingrays. The crowd jumped to their feet, going wild all around me, and I could
not stop smiling as I watched it all go down. I couldn’t have been prouder as I
watched Bennett being cheered on by everyone around us. My father was clapping
loudly as he stared out onto the field at Bennett. My man had made it to the
major leagues and having him on the Stingrays made it just that much better.
Now I could spend most days with him and still do my job.
    I wasn't about to wait another moment to see Bennett. I got
out of my seat and made my way down to the field. I could see Bennett standing
there amongst his teammates, getting all the congratulations he deserved. I ran
across the field towards him and just as he turned around to face me I jumped
right into his arms. I was grinning like an idiot and there was a smile on his
face, as well.
    “Oh, baby, what are you trying to do, kill me?” he asked as
he hugged me tightly. We pulled apart briefly so that we could kiss. The thing
I loved about Bennett and his kisses was that he knew how to kiss me so very
passionately. The guy knew what he was doing when it came to kissing. When we
finally pulled apart, I turned around and noticed my father standing close by
and clapping loudly.
    “Thatta boy! That's one way to celebrate a win. Good job,
son, I couldn't be more proud of you.”
    I ran over to my father and embraced him, hugging him
tightly. Bennett came over and I grabbed both my father and my boyfriend and
gave a large hug. The three of us hugged so tightly, we were all just bound
together like family. No matter what happened in my life, there was nothing that
would be able to take away the feeling of completeness that I had in that very
moment. The feeling that I had having both my father and Bennett in my life and
knowing everything had just worked out just as it was supposed to. In that
moment, all was right in the world.
