At First Glance

I'm not one that believes in Love at First Sight but I do know that the moment I met John was as close as it gets.  We had worked at the same company for over a year and had never crossed paths.  In early spring 2006, I was coerced by a friend to play on our company softball team.  They put me as catcher(since I could barely catch or throw) and John was MY pitcher.  I remember the first pitch...feeling like a little school girl with butterflies in my stomach as I stared at him...tall, dark and handsome!  Of course I dropped it. Dammit!  I was so embarrassed because I couldn't even throw it back to him from home base!!!  He knew I was awful but was so kind and helpful the entire game.  The next morning we ran into each other walking into the building! Where had he been the past year?  I know the feeling was mutual now...but he was so smooth!  He asked if he could take me to lunch...to the batting cages to practice.  Of course I said yes and I counted down the minutes all morning. Needless to say there was a ton of practicing that spring and I have the "Most Improved" award to show for it!
