Maid For Beckett Catching The Baseball Legend’s Heart novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157

Andi-

Lila would not stop screaming. She was the definition of overexcited, obsessed, and had gone mad.

Well, to give her credit, she’s not actually screaming anymore. I don’t know how long she’d been shrieking in the corridor. but once I got enough strength to step out of the lounge, her voice was the first I heard. She was on the phone, though. It’s not like she was screaming like a mad woman, but I don’t even want to know who she was talking to about Beckett and me.

Even now that we were walking through the hallway, she kept making this sound, somewhere between a squeal and a wheeze, every time she looked at me. And I don’t even want to get started with the status of my arm. She’d been pinching and tugging at it every five seconds!

Beckett went to clean up in the locker and told me to wait for him outside with Lila. I didn’t know my arm would suffer all the way to the parking lot.

“Aw, my arm, stop,” I protested when I felt like my arm would disengage from my shoulder.

Lila’s blue–gray eyes blinked at me innocently. “What? I’m not doing anything.”

“You’re trying to dismantle my arm, Lila!” I informed her, my voice pitchy, but I couldn’t stop being infected by her happiness.

Her excitement was contagious.

“I’m not?” She maintained that fake innocent look. I narrowed my eyes at her, then a small smile creased the sides of her mouth. Not a minute longer, it grew to a full–blown grin. “Alright, yeah, fine, I’m sorry,” she rambled, releasing my arm and stepping away from me, but she won’t stop bouncing on her heels.

We were now in front of the stadium. Cars have vacated the parking lot, and there’s no trace of the lively crowd from when we entered.

“Can you blame me?” Lila gushed, giving a reason for the sparkle in her eyes. “You’re Beckett’s girlfriend! Big bro has a girlfriend! Huh–ha. And you know what makes that even better? I liked you. We’re finally sisters!” She narrated, perfectly defining ‘exclamation point.’

I bit the smile that was about to tear my face in half, and I told my heart not to get too excited. With the good comes the bad. That has always been true in my life.

I looked down at the beer can, which I was still holding because I genuinely didn’t know what else to do with my hands. The condensation that had soaked through to my palm was a reminder that this was real. This really happened. Beckett asked me to be his girlfriend during a live broadcast. People heard, and they saw the answer he got from me in his reaction.

This happiness blooming in my chest scares the hell out of me. This panic was slowly rebuilding the walls around my heart, as if it had a deadline to meet.

“Hey.” Lila’s voice had gone softer. “You okay?”

“I think so.” I turned the can over in my hands. “I think I’m really okay.”

She smiled at that, but it was tentative. She could see right through me.

I spotted him before he reached us.

Chapter 137

in a fresh white shift now, drant swapped for uneakers, a bag slung over our shoulder. How is dia even fair? Here I way, a total wreck in the head, and he looked exactly the same as he always did, agile, calm and regal. Well, he’s a litle too Calin for someone who had just dons what he’d done, except for the smile he was clearly trying to contain and failing at completely.

Lila’s smile had been completely off her face as she stood beside me, watching her brother walk regally toward us.

“Don’t make things easy for him.” she whispered at me, putting a frown on my face. Her tone shifted faster than 1 could anticipate.

“What-”

She shook her head. “I love my brother, Andi, but I’d like to see him work for your heart, hm?”

I couldn’t reply because Beckett had finally stopped in front of us, and his eyes went straight to the can in my hand. “You’re still holding that?”

“Yeah” my voice was too breathy. When did I have so much air in my voice?

“She didn’t know what to do with it,” Lila supplied helpfully. “I offered to throw it away three times

“I felt bad throwing it,” I said without thinking. On my periphery, Lila sighed and shook her head, understanding that doing what she advised me was not something I could do.

He looked at me for a moment – just looked, the way he did sometimes, like he was checking that I was real and then be held out his hand.

I looked at it. My heart didn’t know whether to stay in my chest and continue pulsing fast, or just jump out into Beckett’s hand and serve itself on a silver platter.

put my hand in his, carefully. Not too fast, not too slow. I didn’t want him to think my blood was rushing through my veins hundred miles per hour now.

Lila made a noise I chose not to acknowledge, announced she was going to find the car and give us a minute, and disappeared around the corner at suspicious speed. I was fairly certain she stopped just out of sight, watching us while munching on a box of popcorn.

We walked toward the car from last night, his hand warm around mine, the stadium lights throwing long shadows across the

concrete.

“Siobhan called,” he said.

“Oh,” I looked up at him, nerves suddenly spiking. Siobhan would be the one to clean up the mess Beckett had just made. and I think this time, she won’t be nice to me. I had always caused the chaos she needed to fix. “How was she?” I asked, not for the lack of words, but because I want to know if Siobhan is not gonna travel to where we are and commit murder.

Her victim: Me.

“You should probably call her,” Beckett said, and that wasn’t the answer I was looking for. I wanted him to tell me on a scale of one to a hundred how mad Siobhan was.

“What? I… she might be mad at me for leaving town,” I reasoned, I feel the color in my face draining. “Was she mad at me?”

“What?” He paused. “Mad? Why would she be mad?”

We finally reached the SUV, and this time Becket had the key fob and opened the passenger side for me.

Chapter 157

I couldn’t see his gaze. “Because she’s got a mess to clean again”

Mess: What are you talking about!” Beckett hooked a finger under my chin and forced me to meet his gaze: “I checked in with her to see it i have her go signal to ask you that question.”

I searched Beckett’s face, and all I found was pure honesty. I don’t know where this mist blurring my sight, was coming from. Is it from the fact that Siobhan wasn’t gonna kill me, or is it because Beckett didn’t ask me to be vis girlfriend on a whim? It was planned, and he talked it through with his agent.
