A Whole Different Kettle Of Fish

“Make sure
you grip is firm.”
“Got it,”
“Keep both
hands on the bat.”
“I hear
yah,”
“Don’t take
your eye off the ball.”
She stilled
looking at him out the corner of her eye.
“Please…”
She began laying her palm flat against his chest as if to reassure him. “I come
from a sporting background, it’s in my blood.”
He bent his
knees bringing himself to her level.
“You come
from a ‘Wrestling’ background,” He corrected. “It’s ‘Wrestling’
that’s in your blood. Baseball is a whole different kettle of fish.”
“Oh, how
hard can it be to hit a ball?” She scoffed. “And it’s a coin fed machine
that’ll be tossing me the balls not the fastest arm in the west.”
She stood on
her tippee-toes and gave him a quick peck on the
cheek.
“I totally
got this,” She said giving him her ‘You know I’m gonna
do this so move outta the way’ smile.
He moved.
“Okay, ball
tossing machine,” Stephanie said to herself when he was out of earshot. “Make
me look good.”
The next
thing she knew she was sprawled out on the ground, her mouth full of dust and
her brand new custom made jumpsuit covered in dirt.
“Baby, are
you okay?” Christian asked struggling to keep the smile off his face as he
helped her to her feet.
She choked
and sputtered and glared blue murder at the confounded contraption that had
released that rogue ball.
“That…” She
gasped pointing furiously at the mechanical ball tosser.
“That… thing tried to kill me!”
