Seeing the country like a pro baseball player.

Trish’s POV

a week later.

                    The SF Chef event (about a week ago) with James, my other boss, was fun. James even met Timmy as my boyfriend, and James couldn’t believe he is my boyfriend. Giants won the series against the Phillies. Then, the Marines came to Sf and they won that series. My luggage are packed ready to go to the other side of the country. Joe gave me permission to join the roadtrip while he stays home to pick the winner for the Giants Food Drive. I will be gone for at least 2 weeks. 4 Days or so in St. Louis for the Cardinals series, and about 4 days or so in Miami for Marlins series. I am sitting on the couch in Tim’s apartment waiting for Buster to pick us up.

“Did Buster call yet?” Tim asked as he gets out wearing his suit and his bowtie from his bedroom. I am wearing a casual dress with a white cardigan.
“No, he should be on his way. Don’t you look adorable.” I said
“Adorable?”
“Yea. I like the orange bowtie.” giving him a smile. He lean over and give me a kiss.
“Okay baby.” his phone starts ringing. “Hey, yah, Trish and I will be out.” he hangs up and I get up from the couch and hug Cy and Kayo. Timmy did the same and we both headed towards the door.
“Drew is coming tonight. So you will have someone. You boys be good.” Tim said and we both headed towards the lobby of the apartment and enter Buster’s truck.

“Hey Buster.” I said as I enter the back seat and Timmy pile the luggage in the trunk.
“Hey Trish, you ready for your first roadtrip with us?”
“I am kinda nervous, I really don’t know what to expect.” Timmy shut the door close at t he back and sit shot gun next to Buster.
“You will be fine Trish. You just do what you do best, Cook.” Buster said. With that, Timmy buckled up and Buster headed to the park.
“Hey why didnt Kirsten and the twins say good bye?” I asked Buster.
“The kids aren’t feeling well, so Kirsten decided to just stay home.” he said.
“Hey Babe, Did you bring toothpaste? I don’t think I brought mine. I guess I can always buy one there.” Tim asked me with his aviator on.
“Yes, I brought some. You can use it if you want.”

We arrived at the park and all three of us pull our luggage and headed towards the bus. I sit next to Timmy , I get the window seat and Timmy get the isle. Across the way is Brian Wilson by the window and Barry Zito by the isle.

“Hey Trish, you ready for your first roadtrip?” Barry asked
“I guess.”
“You will do great. Can we have like some fried chicken or something like that.”Brian said.
“Willy, don’t pressure Trish to make something such as Fried Chicken, she has a chart to follow.” Bochy said.
“Challenge Accepted Bweez.” I said with confidence.

             The bus starts to move and headed towards SFO. I lean on Timm’s shoulder and close my eyes for a nap.

Tim’s POV

          We arrived at SFO and our stuffs are all checked and Trish and I are sitting together and I give her the window sit. We got a couple of hours flight to St. Louis. We arrived at the hotel after hours being in air.

“So, whaddya wanna do now?” I asked her, flopping down on the bed. I was comfortable in this setting, but she only sat down awkwardly on the other bed. Clearly, she just wasn’t used to it yet.
“Uhh.. I don’t know…”
“Watch a movie? Play FIFA or something?” Randomly, I picked up the remote and started flipping through channels.
“Actually, Tim…” I flipped the TV off, and turned to her, interested.
“Yeah?”
“Well, not now, obviously..” She blushed slightly. Well, now I was really intrigued. I sat up, and leaned slightly closer.
“Well, what is it?”
“I was wondering…” She paused again, and I nodded, gesturing with my hand to get her to go on.
“…If you wanted to meet my parents?” She was so nervous, it came out in a squeak.
“Of course, I would want to meet your parents. Calm down. You are nervous? I never seen you nervous before other than that night in the limo.” I sit next to her in bed, give her a side hug and she lean in and nestle her head between my shoulder and neck.
“If we going to do this right. I want them to know. Don’t worry about being nervous, since I will probabbbbly more of a mess than you are. I never brought a guy home to them before.” she said I turn my body to her and she look up at me. I take her chin by my hand and kiss her softly.
“You will be great, I know you will.” I said.
“Uh so how are we going to do this? Maybe during a party less awkward for you and me.” She said as I looks in my eyes, those brown rich eyes she always stare me down with, are one of those things that gets me weak in the knees. Yes, even I , Tim Lincecum gets weak in the knees.
“I think we should take them out to dinner when we get back. Or ask them to come over and maybe we can cook for them.” I said as I stare into her eyes.
“Okay, that will be cool. It is just that It will be weird if we asked them to your apartment. So we can do it at my place okay Timmy?” she said and give me a smile, I smile back and I kiss her.
“Alright, if that’s what you want Babygirl.” I said. The night is young and we decided to just watch some movies and get some room service.

When the food arrived, she is in her Sf giants pajamas already sitting on my bed right in front of the movie.

“This is good. I usually don’t order room service.” She said as she cuts her medium rare steak.  
“Why not?” as I cut my medium rare steak as well and then out it in my mouth. She chews her steak, swallow and drink the red wine.
“Well for once, I am a normal person and two it is expensive to eat room service. I work in a hotel and restaurant industry we rack up the prices for room service Timmy.”
“What’s that mean a normal person?”
“Meaning I don’t make the same paycheck as you do.” she look at me while she sticks her tongue out.I smiled.
“Just because I have money doesn’t mean I have to use it,” I protested feebly. It was a weak argument, and we both knew it.
“Yeah, and that’s why you’re spending the extra for room service,” she scoffed. “What are you trying to do, impress me?” I blushed slightly.
“Actually, that’s just it…” she coveres her mouth, almost choking from the wine.
“Dork, you don’t have to so that. If someone is doing the impressing its going to be me. I need to impress you.” she said as she put her wine glass on the table as we both finish Dinner.
“Don’t be ridiculous. You are perfect the way you are. I like normal things in my life and you are pretty notmal to me.” I said as I tossed to chocolate Ritter Sports to her.
“O0o0o0o My favorite- how did you know I love these?” she asked me as I push the cart outside of the room. She disappeared into the bathroom and I decided to stripped down in my boxers and white t-shirt to get ready for bed. She came out in a large t-shirt and pair of shorts. Her hair is up in a messy bun and she was wiping her lips with a moist face towel.
“You going to use the bathroom befoore we pop in the next movie?” She asked me. I nodded jump up the bed and enter the bathroom. I look at the reflection in the mirror. Alright Tim, relax, just another night with her. Control your feelings, she isn’t those girls who will just have sex with you, she is different and we like different. She is sweet and nice and pretty and SHUT THE FUCK UP TIM YOU AREN’T GETTING SEX. STOP THINKING ABOUT IT. I took a deep breath and brush my teeth and wash my face. I return out to the room and she flopped belly down with a pillow under her arms in front of the TV on her bed.
“Scoot over-” I said and grab another pillow and flooped belly down as well next to my girl. We start watching the TV then all of a sudden she got up and starts tickling me all over the place and I starts making weird ass movement and laughing at the same time. She finally stops when my phone starts ringing. She is on the floor laughing her ass off.

Tim:Hello?
Andy:It’s Andy. So I heard you have a girlfriend.
Tim:Yea, she is nice, not like those other chick. (I stare at her as she try to calm herself down from tickling me)
Andy:That’s great, you have a phone conference with me tomorrow so you better get your ass up okay.
Tim:Come on Andy. Can’t we do this when I get home?
Andy:Nope. Let me talk to Trish.
Tim:What?
Andy:Timothy, give the phone to your girlfriend.

Trish’s POV

          Tim starts walking towards me and I just back away from him since I don’t want to be tickle just way I tickle him. Then she reached his phone towards me.
“Who’s that?” I mouthed.
“It’s Andy, one of my publicist, he wants to talk to you.” I grab the phone that’s being handed to me.

Trish:Hello?
Andy:Yes, hi I am Andy. Could you do me a favor and wake him up around 8:30 tomorrow morning?
Trish:Sure.
Andy:Great, I like you already. Well you guys have a good night .

He hungs up and I handed his Iphone back to Timmy. Then my phone starts ringing after that. It’s Mom.

Mom:Trish.
Trish:Yes, I am in St. Louis, we arrived couple hours ago and I also had dinner Mom.

I put my phone on Loudspeaker so Tim can hear the conversation.

Mom:That’s good. You are sharing a room with someone?

I look at Timmy who is smiling and I signal him to quiet down.

Trish:Sharing a room with someone Mom.
Mom:Oh, why? Can’t you have your own room. So have you met Tim Lincecum yet?
Trish:Yea but I will have to pay for my own room and that’s not happening and Yes I have met Timmy, he is super nice Mom, you will like him.
Mom:I will like him more if you two are dating.

I looked at Tim who is smiling from ear to ear. I gave him a look once again to shut him up.

Trish:Well Mom what if I tell you that we are dating.
Mom:Yeah Right.
Trish:No,Mom I am being serious. He is sitting right next to me as we speak. ( I nudge at Timmy to say something.
Tim:Hi, Mrs. T. I am Tim and I really like your daughter.
Mom:………………Jesus, your daughter is talking nonsense. Saying that she is dating Tim Lincecum.
Trish:Mom, we can still hear you. Do you wanna Sype or something so I can prove to you that Tim and I are dating?
Mom:Yes, log on right away.

Mom hangs up.

“Sorry Tim.” I said as I hook up my laptop into the wifi and log in to Skype. Tim and I sit next to each other and wait for my Mom. When her face came on Dad as well Tim and I just waved at them.

“Hi, Tim.” Mom started.
“Hi Mrs and Mr. T.  I do care about your daughter. I promise to take good care of her while we are in the road. So please don’t worry, We should have dinner when we get back to San Francisco.” Tim said with a smile.
“NO sex okay.” Mom blurted out.
“Oh jeeez, Mom, calm down. We won’t, that’s crazy talk. We just started going out Mom.”I said blushing massively. Mom is pretty much blunt and straight forward.
“Good luck with your game Tim” Dad said with a smile.
“Thank sir.”
“Hey Guys, we gotta go to bed. Seperate beds Mom, we have an early day tomorrow and its already pushing 11pm here.” I said
“Alright, goodnight.” both my parents said.
“Mom, please not a word to the family right now. Just you guys okay and Not the aunts and cousins please.” I said. We waved goodbye and log out of skype.
“Sorry Bout that-” I started as we get ready for bed.
“It’s okay, so your not sleeping next to me?” he said all worried
“Of course I’ll sleep next to you,” I scoffed.
“Did you actually think I’d listen to my mom?” He smiled.
“Well, I didn’t think you weren’t going to listen to her..”
“In other words, you did think I was going to listen to her.” We both grinned at each other. I curled up into his side with a happy sigh.
“Wanna watch something?” he asked, tossing the remote into the air and watching it spin, end over end.
“Sure. A movie?”
“Your pick.” I grinned delightedly.
“Pirates of the Caribean!”
“My favorite, too,” he laughed, and we settled into the movie.

At some point during the movie, I had fallen asleep. I didn’t realize it until I woke up to the sunlight streaming through the curtains, and Sleeping Beauty next to me. An evil grin slipped over my mouth as an idea struck me. I slowly get up and rush towards the bathroom and brush my teeth then grab my red lipstick and put a thick slab on my lips. I return to where Timmy is sleeping still. I slowly pull the blanket off of him and kiss both of his cheeks, then his forehead, then his chin , then his nose, making sure there is lipstick in all the part I kiss. I retun to the bathroom and washed my lips and return back to Timmy who is sleeping still. I slowly shake him…
“Timmy.. Timmy.. BIG TIME TIMMY JIM TIME TO WAKEY WAKEY..” I said jumping up and down on the bed like a little kid waking up her parents for christmas morning. He finally got up and still half asleep he enter the bathroom and I follow him and listen by the closed door.
“AHHHHHHHHHHH. WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY FACE.” he yelled then rush out of the bathroom ready to chased after me and I am already on top of the bed trying to stay away from him.
“SURPRISE!!!!” I yelled as i stand on top of the bed. ” I told you I will get you back from the tickle you gave me that one time.” I continue. His eyes looks like he is about to struck me out with his change up. He is on a mission to bring me down and make me pay for the kiss marks I gave him.
“COME BACK HERE.” he said as he chase me around the room then there is a knock on the door. I look at him then turn around to grab the door.
“Morning Barry.” I said.
“Morning, THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE TIMMY.”
