Page 65 of Fake Love

I also didn’t think that I was going to be so involved in baseball stuff, but yet I am.

Apart from going to home games and the week of away games that I went to, I’m not getting messages from a few of the team wives and girlfriends inviting me to stuff. Charity events, brunches, yoga classes, dinners, everything that you can think of I’ve been invited to since I got home from Denver.

I guess I wasn’t the official fake girlfriend until I traveled with the team for a few days. Something that I was definitely not prepared for.

Want to know what else I wasn't prepared for? Breaking the rules with Maddox.

Well we really just broke one rule but I still should have mentally prepared myself for it.

It definitely would have been better than thinking that the rules will never change.

Ever since the night in his apartment before leaving for Seattle, there have been a lot more kisses between me and Maddox that weren’t at all fake.

Especially when we were behind a closed door and away from peering eyes. Kisses that have as if they were a natural thing between us.

Was it a bad decision on my part to tell Maddox that I wanted him to kiss me that night? Yeah, it was.

Do I regret it? No, because me telling him gave me one of the hottest experiences of my life.

I also think that now that we threw away the PDA rule and are participating in activities behind closed doors, we are becoming a better fake couple.

Makes things more believable in a way.

At least, that’s what I keep telling myself.

It has helped us become more affectionate toward each other in public, which is a good thing. It makes everything, from the outside at least, seem like a real relationship.

As for the no sex rule, that is still in place. The one night in his apartment has not been repeated, sure there has been some heavy petting through clothing but that is about it.

Again, I see that as a way to make our relationship more believable.

I’m all about making that possible, even if I like his kisses a little more than I should.

Shaking all thoughts away from Maddox, his kisses and our fake relationship, I go back to the task at hand.

Doing something with my hair so that it doesn’t look like a bird’s nest. It’s days like these that I wish my hair had a natural curl to it because then I wouldn’t have to deal with a curling iron.

I have my mom to thank for that.

I’m currently getting ready to meet up switch Annaleigh and Courtney from the coffee shop to head to a street festival.

San Francisco is this eccentric city that always has something happening. Festivals, parades, celebrations, anything that you can think of happens.

I was supposed to go to the Miners games but when the girls texted last night, I thought I would skip it. This will be the first home game that I won’t be going to since Maddox got called up, but that’s okay because I’m able to do things for me.

As much as I wanted to go to the game, I couldn’t say no. I missed seeing the girls and besides this street festival means a whole lot of food, music and a good time.

So I thought that I would dress up a bit, and get out of my regular jeans and a t-shirt. I even pulled out a flowy skirt for the occasion.

I’m finishing up the last strand of hair when my phone starts to ring.

Grabbing it from where it lays next to the sink, I see that Maddox is trying to FaceTime me.

A smile forms on my face as I see his name across the screen and hurry to answer before I miss him.

“Hey,’ I say as I place my phone to rest against the mirror so that I can see him.

“Hey,” he says as his face fills the screen. He’s wearing sunglasses and seems to be in a car. Which means he’s driving to the stadium.
