Chapter 34

Vera's POV

Julius wasn't joking when he said we were going to play baseball.

After taking a shower together we slipped into polo shirts and jeans.

I threw my hair into a high ponytail and slapped on a face cap.

When we came down the whole family was already in the garden.

It wasn't like any professional game.

It consisted of two positions

One for the server

And the other the hitter or I think that was what it was called

There were four teams.

One with Julius and I

One with mother and Aunt Patricia and Uncle Richard

Another with mother and Aunt Janice and the last with Denzell and Uzzaih.

I was so scared.

I had never played baseball in my life and here I was standing with the bat in my hand.

It didn't help matters that my palms were sweaty.

Denzell stood few feets away from me and I took in a deep breath as he served.

I swung the bat with my eyes shut and I missed.

I looked down as tears threatened to fall.

"Come on Vera! "

Mother shouted from under one of the canopies.
