Stella,23, young independent model. Little does she know it puts her in a mushy love triangle that she doesn't want to be in at all.
She's from New York but lives in St. Louis. In her free time she goes to the games with her best friend and to wat...
Why am I freaking out about this 'date' with Lars Nootbaar. Wait now it's hitting me. It's LARS NOOTBAAR. I should be nervous. He's really cute. Doubt he even thinks about me though. I need to change my clothes I look super weird in this. Good thing Zoey and I went shopping. So that way I have extra clothes to choose from. (You can pick whatever outfit but the photo ima put here is what I imagined her in).
I get dressed in this:

It's not too dressy and not too casual. Hopefully he doesn't go over bored with the whole thing and make me look like a total idiot. Then I hear a knock and I panic. What if it's him?? I'm not ready! I'm the only one in the room though because Zoey is at the bar getting drunk. I guess I have to answer it. I open the door and I see my brother standing there. I feel relieved.
"That happy to see me huh?" He asks.
"Well yes, but I thought you were Lars and you scared me."
"Oh. Oops. Are you wearing that on your date?"
"First it's not a date, and second yes. What's wrong with it?"
"Well I think it is, but your outfit looks fine for a first 'date'."
"Ok now get out."
"No. He told me to come get you."
"What!? You should've said something earlier!"
"Nah I like surprises."
"Doesn't mean I do!"
"Follow me!"
He grabs my arm so I have no choice but to go with him because there is no way in hell I am going to try get away from a Major League Baseball player. He would win and we both know it. We make it to the elevator and we wait for it to open. I still don't understand why people keep saying this is a date when it's clearly not! They wouldn't be saying that stuff if I chose to go with Aaron Judge. They would all hate me right now. Which is ridiculous. Why should a team define someone's personality and whether you like them or not? The elevator door finally opens and I feel a tear trickle down my face. Why am I crying? Am I sad that it's not with Aaron? Do I wish to be in bed right now? Do I not want to see Lars? Do I want to go home? Should I go home? Lars doesn't even like me in that sort of way. He's only doing this because he feels bad for me. Which is nice of him, but I wish he would do it out of love and not just because of who my brother is. We barely even know each other. Zoey thinks I've liked him since he's been on the Cardinals. Don't get me wrong I have, but I didn't know Lars for Lars. I just knew him based off of his stats and looks. That's not enough to judge a person. I need to know his personality and that is what I'm going to do tonight. We get out of the elevator and Nolan still has a strong grip on my arm. I don't even know where we are going. I just keep looking around. Nolan then turns into this room and I see him. Smiling. I feel my face get hot. Nolan let's go of my arm and says something that I can't even call out because all I can think of is that Lars Nootbaar is looking at me. Nolan walks out of the room and closes the door.
"Hey! You look nice." He says nicely.
"Oh yeah you too." I respond in an annoyed way.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." I say.
By the look on his face he doesn't buy it. He gives me a look like his brain is working. Oh no. He probably thinks he did something. He didn't do anything. He reaches for my hand.
"Just tell me." He looks into my eyes.
I can't breathe.
"Water." I say.
He hands me water and I gulp it down. Phew that feels much better!
"Uhm it's stupid but why did Nolan have to take me down here? I am an adult that is capable of going places by herself." I say.
"Ok you have a point. I honestly have no idea why he did that. He just asked and I didn't think it would bother you that much so I just let him. Sorry."
By the look on his face he really is sorry. I'll forgive him only because it's stupid to be mad about.
"It's ok! I'm hungry let's eat!"
We grab our food and start eating. He looks starved.
"So Stella, what do you do for a job?"
"I'm a model in New York."
"Oh cool!"
"Yeah, but I live in St. Louis during baseball season. So you will definitely be seeing me more."
"Oh how exciting." He says sarcastically.
I knew he was joking so I just laughed it off.
"What job would you have had if you didn't get drafted?"
"Oh uh probably a trainer of some sort."
"Oh that's cool!"
We ended up talking about a lot of personal stuff about ourselves and I feel like I know him better than my own brother. He's so fun to be around. He takes me up to my room and tells me good night. I wish the night was longer. He's so fun to be around. I will see him tomorrow because I am going to the game tomorrow night, but I am going to sit on the 3rd base line. So that way it makes Nolan happy and so that way I don't get hit in the head with a baseball going 100 mph. I get ready for bed and I see Zoey already snoozing and I just smile at the sight. She will have a terrible hang over tomorrow. I go to bed with a smile on my face thinking about Lars all night until I can finally fall asleep.
A/n: What did Nolan say???? 🤣 Find out in Lars Pov ! Lmk how you like the story!
