Stargirl

35

After five years of modeling for Victoria's Secret, I'd seen it all. I became the face of pink, I'd modeled swim, and I walked the runway five times. Then I remember getting a call that was asking me to come up to their headquarters.

I was so nervous but I had my manager, Emily with me so that made it slightly better. We were a month away from the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show what could the news possibly be?

We were sitting down in an office room with a lot of people who were in charge of casting and the head of it all.

"So Holland, it's been quite the five years huh?" Sandra asked me with a smile

I nodded, "That's one way to say it, yeah."

"Well, would you like to be a Victoria's Secret Angel?" She got out

"What? Seriously?" I beamed with the biggest smile on my face

Sandra nodded as everyone in the room started clapping.

"Yes, of course!" I approved

They went over my contract and as soon as I signed it, they took me into hair and makeup to do this promo video.

I couldn't wait until tomorrow so I could officially announce it on all my social media. I was getting flown back to Los Angeles on a private plane to do my first appearance as a Victoria's Secret angel.

I began to text all of my closest friends and family but I wanted to wait until I got home to tell Ryder.

"I missed you." He smiled as he hugged me

"I've only been gone for two days." I reminded him

We got into his car and I think he was starting to notice I was acting weird.

"What are you cooking tonight?" I asked as I held his hand

Ryder looked over at me when we stopped at a red light, "Why are you so smiley and giddy?"

I scoffed jokingly, "I can't just be happy?"

"Mhm, but I'm making my famous spaghetti and meatballs for you. Plus I got garlic knots." Ryder told me

When we got home, I unpacked while Ryder cooked. He got me fresh pink peonies and when we sat down to eat Bold as Love by Jimi Hendrix was playing. I let Ryder catch me up on how his new music was coming along and he taught Rex how to play dead.

We washed dishes and then we sat on the couch to watch TV.

"I need to tell you some things." I started while I stroked Ryder's hair

Ryder snuggled closer to me and I just realized how cute he was. I love this boy so much.

"What are you pregnant?" He asked sarcastically

"Yes, but I'm also a Victoria's Secret Angel now." I confirmed nonchalantly

Ryder's eyes got big, "Wait, Holland. You've been working towards being an angel for so long. Literally, since I met you."

Yeah, yeah being an angel was good and all but did he not hear the first thing I confirmed.

"Think back to what I just said," I told him as I stared at him with a grin

Ryder was silent for a moment.

"Are you serious?" He asked me as he sat up

I nodded my head, "I'm serious."

A smile grew on Ryder's face as he wrapped his arms around me.

"I can't believe this." Ryder spoke in disbelief, "What? Holland!"
