“Well, that definitely changes things. I’m honored, Coach. For real. You know how much I want a better life for my siblings. I also think I may be in shock,” I chuckle. “But thanks for looking out for me. I won’t let you down.”
“I know you won’t. You’re a good dude, and you should be proud that Life Space sees that in you, too.”
I gather my things and shake his hand. “Appreciate it.”
Heading toward the door, my mind reeling from thenews and my body craving a hot shower, his assertive voice stops me in my tracks. “And Graves?”
“Sir?”
“Ms. Abrams will be assisting you in creating content for your socials.”
My brows rise. “Why’s that? I thought the point was for me to do that on my own?”
“She’s the team’s social media coordinator for a reason. What better person to help than her? Besides, we need to make sure you keep things?—”
“Appropriate,” Roderick adds like the coward he is.
“Got it. Guess we’ll find out how skilled she is,” I tell him.
Jack’s voice projects steadily, “I shouldn’t even have to say this, but behave.”
As if I didn’t already have something to put a little pep in my step, Coach just laid a reward right in my fucking lap.
It seems Little Miss Runaway won’t be able to escape me after all.
“Sure thing, Coach. Behave is my middle name.”

How does one tempted to hurl at the first smell of anything good or bad, attempt to be productive?
Asking for me.
I’m doing everything in my power to distract myself, spending my morning at Makers preparing content for the Strikers’ social media page. With the new season underway, Coach Leggins insisted we make a statement.
Build some memorable traffic.
Thankfully, I’m the best there is at my job, and I know I have what it takes to make our Strikers brand different from the rest.
With a prominent yellow and black color scheme, lightning bolt logo, and the new vintage flair Navy has taken on the uniforms, my goal is to make our grid…inviting with a classic edge.
ThinkSaved By the Bell…but Major League Baseball.
I’ve created my color palette for content, secured the fonts I think will best fit our new branding, and also mapped out the next few months ahead, knowing I will likely be given a few players to work independently with.
One I’m almost certain will be August.
Just the mention of Coach Leggins and his expectations sends me into a blind panic. Can’t wait for him to find out his third baseman knocked up an employee. It’s like we’ve got the newest season ofLove Islandhere at Makers Park.
Take your pick of the litter, ladies. You like hefty muscles? We’ve got’em. Massive egos? Comin’ right up. Skilled dick to knock you up? Winner winner, chicken fucking dinner.
Although I doubt August will be fazed by people finding out. It’s bound to happen. Word of mouth will be the thing that does it.
The guy lacks an online social presence.
