A Grand Slam Romance: Lars Nootbaar & Aaron Judge

Chapter 10- Stella

As he's leading me up to his apartment I'm honestly regretting this. I shouldn't be doing this. My brother will kill me, but hey there's nothing wrong with living on the edge. I actually don't know what to do. What will Zoey think? What will my boss think? What will Lars think? Wait.. did I just say "what will Lars think?" Oh my gosh! I have completely lost it! I knew this was probably going to happen. Why do I care what Lars would think? Not like he likes me anyways. Zoey is delusional. And she says I'm the delusional one!? Ha please. Just because she thinks that we like each other.  I do not like him in that way at all! Aarons pulls me out of my thoughts and starts talking to me.

"Netflix and Chill?" He grins at me.

I nod my head not knowing what else to say.

He grins at me. "Okay and maybe we don't exactly have to be friends with benefits. We could also try dating if you wanted that."

I am shocked at his words. Is he just saying this because he wants to have a thing with me?

I speak up. "Oh ok well I don't really want to rush anything too soon."

"Yeah that's okay. So what do you want to watch?"

"Oh I really don't mind, but maybe the sandlot? I know you've probably watched it a ton of times, but it's just so funny."

"Fair enough." Aaron chuckles.

*TIME SKIP*

We watch the movie and right when it leaves my brother calls me. So I obviously answer.

Nolan: "where are you?"

Uh oh. Uhm....

Stella: "I'll be there in 15 minutes!"

Nolan: "that's not what I asked. Where are you?!"

Stella: "I'm at the book store!"

Nolan: ok fine. Just get back to the hotel.

Stella: I will.

Nolan: ok bye.

Stella: bye.

Once I hang up Aaron speaks up.

"Who was that?"

"My stupid brother."

"Ah. What did he want?"

"He wants me to go back to the hotel."

"Oh okay. Well I had a nice time with you."

"Yeah I had a nice time with you too. Caption." I wink at him.

"See ya blondie."

"Bye."

I leave his hotel room and now I'm walking to my hotel which is like a mile from here. Great. I could call Zoey to pick me up, but she will ask so many different questions. Plus it's not like I'm wearing nice clothes. I'm dressed in a tank top with adidas shorts and Nike shoes. It's hot down here in Florida.

Something in my brain just clicked. Lars leaves for the WBC in 2 days. Uh oh. Yeah this is not good. Especially with the time zone change.

I arrive at the hotel a tad bit sweaty.

Bader is the first one to see me.

"Hey princess."

I turn to look at him. "What did you just call me!?"

"Princess."

Noot walks over.

"Bader quit teasing her."

"Ok ok I will." He laughs.

"Where is Nolan?" I ask.

"I think he's with Goldy somewhere."
