The weather was perfect that day. No rain, or clouds just pure sun shine. I watched him there on the baseball field practicing his swinging before he was to have his turn striking the ball into oblivion. I saw him put on his batting gloves very slowly, almost sensually. He had beautiful strong hands. The kind I dreamed of caressing my body, digging into my soft curves with his powerful fingertips.
I moaned at the thought, but then I remembered I wasn't alone. There were hundreds of people around me watching the game contently especially since it was the first of the season. I caught the attention of one or two people who heard me moan to myself. They quickly looked me over suspiciously and then resumed watching the game. I blushed furiously and tried to hide my flushed face with my long dark brown hair.
The truth was I never liked baseball…at all. The thought never crossed my mind to ever come to a baseball game. They usually lasted for hours on end and I found them completely boring and hardly stimulating. I hated sports in general and never understood the concept or attraction of them. So why was I there? Because I had to see him. Since the first time I laid my eyes on him he captivated me. I remember the day I saw him face to face outside my classmate's apartment. I went over to bring back two books she let me borrow for a project in my Anthropology class. Outside her door we had some small talk that quickly escalated to a very "girly" conversation. Leslie, who became a good friend of mine, had just recently transferred here from another school. "Leticia, I can't believe you don't realize how gorgeous the guys are at this university…especially those athletic baseball players. They are just beautiful," she gushed.
"Well I wouldn't know because I'm not interested in sports. I wouldn't be able to differentiate the baseball players from the basketball players," I joked, "Oh by the way you can call me Lety."
"You don't know what your missing Lety. I've been going to the baseball games just to look at the guys strut their skills. They have amazing bodies… I sit there and imagine their large rough hands all over my body."
"Leslie!" I said shocked, but slightly amused.
"Maybe you should come with me sometime so you can see for yourself…oh my god, Lety, here comes one of them now." She said softly.
He was walking up the stairs when I first got a glimpse of him. He was tall, about 6'3" with a very athletic build. His powerful shoulders were draped with a thin sweater that revealed each muscle in his arms and chest. I studied the shape of the pectorals under the material. His hands were large, but smooth. I thought of those hands on me, fondling my breasts and tickling my sides. There was something about them that made me think of a soft sensual touch. His brown hair was down eye length to emphasize his one of his best features. His were dark and mysterious. They were so deep and intense I felt almost lost in them. He held my gaze steadily as he approached us. He politely said "good afternoon, ladies," and gave us a warm smile. My breath quickened and became shallow as he looked at me lingering with that handsome face of his. I froze before I could respond to his greeting. He broke our gaze and opened a door next to Leslie's apartment. As he slipped in he left my friend and I flustered with arousal. Or at least I was. My face immediately turned red.
"What's wrong?" Leslie asked.
"I never did that before…I just never…"
"Never what?"
"Looked a guy in the eye that way. I never had the guts to do it." Feeling my embarrassment I knew I had to go before things got out of control. The truth was I am severely shy and never (my god), never be so brazen as to look a man in the eye the way I did a minute ago. I felt flushed with embarrassment and disbelief. And arousal. My attraction to him was unexpected and quite powerful. I never had that feeling with anyone…ever. It happened last semester. Since then I had taken her invitation to watch each home game and I found myself admiring him more and more. I wouldn't miss his games (and some of their practices) for the world.
