Home Field Advantage – T Leigh Turner

I ask, walking up to the dugout where Grant is standing inside, leaning on the railing overlooking the field. Wearing a short sleeve shirt, gym shorts, and sneakers, he looks every bit the pitcher I once knew. “Reliving your glory days?” He rolls his eyes, but offers me a smirk. “What are you doing down here?” “Saw you working with the grounds crew. Do you do that often?” He shrugs.

“Not usually.” “I went by your office to check on the progress with the field prep when I saw you working from the window.” He looks over at me when I step up beside him. His arm brushes mine and it feels like an electric shock. These lingering touches have given me life the past couple weeks.

A hand on my back as he moves around me in the kitchen. A brush of the hand as I walk by in the hallway at work. The edge of his thigh against mine as we sit on the couch and watch a movie. It’s part of why I’ve been keeping my distance. I tend to run from feelings, and I want Grant more than my next breath. “You can check that off the list then.”

His shoulders are tense, and his clipped responses irk me. Trying again, I say, “I think Monday will be a massive success for the Troubadours organization and a big step in the right direction for Chase’s image rehabilitation.” “I’m sure it will. The buzz this has created and the positive spin are good for the team.” The sun has fallen behind the office building, and it casts Grant in a shadow. An ominous feeling settles in my gut. “I went over the final touches on the checklist with Mary earlier.

We’re all set. Vendors will start setting up tomorrow and Sunday.” “Sounds good.” I expel a frustrated breath and throw my hands out to my sides. “What is your problem?” He answers my question with a question. “Why did you come down here?” Because you looked really fucking hot standing on the pitcher’s mound and I couldn’t stop myself from a close-up view. “What do you mean?” “You’ve been avoiding me all week.”

“No, I haven’t. I’ve been busy working to make sure everything is finalized for the event.” “Cut the shit, Taylor.” “Why are you in such a mood?” “Probably because we spent all weekend together, Monday rolled around and you ghosted me. Then here comes Friday and you’re searching me out looking like that.”
