I'm surprised coach let me on my phone. He said it was only in between commercials. Which was perfectly fine for me. I texted her within 1 break. She responded fairly quickly. Now just gotta wait for the game to be over to go to dinner.
*TIME SKIP AFTER THE GAME*
We won against the Yankees 4-2. Shocker right? Nah. That was easy. I hit a 3 run homer in the 7th inning. Stella will be happy to hear that. Now I just gotta hit the shower and meet her at the hotel. Nolan stops me before I can go to the locker room. Oh no. Are we about to have 'the talk'. As Bader goes by me he mouths "good luck" does everyone know?
"Dude you aren't even in trouble at all. I just wanted to know if you knew if my sister was okay."
PHEW! OMG!
"Oh yeah she's fine. Her and I are going to Red Robin after I get freshened up."
"Oh cool. Have fun with that."
I nodded and go down to the locker room knowing that Bader and Kinzer will give me sh*t about what just happened. Everyone is scared of Arenado. How can you not be?
I get to the locker room to see that most of the guys are almost ready to get back on the bus. So I gotta hurry. I set my stuff down the bench and undress and get to the shower. All of the guys looked at me shocked.
"Nootie why you rushing?" Kizner asks for everyone else.
"Because I got dinner with someone."
"It wouldn't be Arenado's sister would it?" Bader asks.
"Why would it matter if it was?" I ask.
"I don't know maybe because your sister keeps posting things on Facebook."
"WHAT! what is she saying?"
"There's one that says, "my bestie might be dating my brother. That would be so cute if they were!"
I groan. "Ok I'll handle it and Stella and I are not dating!"
"Keep telling yourself that Nootie."
I can't even picture it. Stella and I? No. I'm only going to dinner with her because I felt bad about what I did but then again I just realized no matter where I go someone will notice me and she won't have a good night. I need to make her happy. She should eat at my hotel room. I know it might smell like a boys locker room, but I mean isn't it technically? I should definitely ask her about it. I turn the water off and dry myself off. I then wrap myself in the towel and put my clothes on. (My fancy clothes). Leaving the locker room I get a text from Stella.
Stella: hey Nootie no rush at all but are you coming soon? Also do you think it would be weird for you to be eating in public? I feel like people would see you and would make fun of me because I look ugly next to you.
Funny she already gave me a nickname. That was fast. I didn't think she liked me. I'll answer her when I get on the bus.
"Dude hurry up! Oli says he gonna leave you." Kizner says.
"I'm coming!!"
I run out of the locker room with my stuff and board the bus.
"Looking snazzy Larsy." Gorman says winking at me.
"Oh shut up." I say trying not to smile.
I respond to Stella with: yes just got on the bus. And if you don't mind we could eat in my room. Talk more at the hotel.
"Who ya texting there Larsy?" Bader asks.
"Why do you guys keep calling me that?"
"Because it's cute."
"Bader you are so gay!" Kizner says.
"No I'm not!"
They keep arguing but I block them out. I just wanna see if her head is okay.
We arrive and I'm the first to get off the bus. I go into the hotel and I see her sitting there in the lobby on her phone. She looks bored. I cant blame her though. She was here by herself for a while. I decided to walk over to her. I don't care if my teammates are watching. For all I know they are probably videoing it.
"Hey Stella."
"Hey! Are you ready to go or do you just want to door dash."
"As much as I want to go out I'd rather door dash it because I don't want to make you uncomfortable while you are eating."
"Oh okay! I'll order it and you can get the table ready or whatever." she says a little disappointed.
"Sounds good! I'll send you my order. And you are letting me pay."
I smile at her. She returns my smile and winces a little.
"How's your head?" I ask.
"Eh it's fine."
"Don't lie to me."
"Ok fine. It's hurts like hell."
"You are getting ice."
"I've already iced it so many times!"
"Ice it while I get ready!"
She rolls her eyes but nods and goes up to her room to ice it.
When I leave the spot all of my teammates are watching me.
"What?" I ask.
They all laugh and go to their rooms. What is wrong with them? I go up to my room and see Kizner, Gorman, and Bader all there.
"Guys get out." I say.
"We have no where to go and I'm going to sleep." Gorman says.
"No you're not! Stella and I are having dinner in here!"
"Uh no you are not! Have it in the lobby!"
"Uh no because people will see."
"Are you embarrassed to seen with her or something?"
"No! I just don't want her to feel uncomfortable because people know who I am."
"Then have her face the door and you have your back to the door."
"Smart but no. Get out!"
"I'm going to sleep on Stella's bed then." Gorman says.
"Ok. You don't have to announce that." I say.
He laughs.
"Jealous because you wish you were the one in Stella's bed?"
"What- I- no. SHUT UP!" my face turns red.
"Maybe just tell Stella what she wants to do and have it in her hotel room."
"No forget it I'll just tell her to meet me in the lobby since you guys won't even help me ."
Bader gives me a shy smile as I walk out the room. Am I being rude? I just don't want her to feel like I am a slob. Or disgusting.
A/n: hey! there will be some juice coming up don't worry 🤭
