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!”
