TOMS POV:

"I see.." Stella murmurs under her breath as she looks at me, surprised that I set this up. "So, have you made a decision?" the woman asks, her eyes beaming widely with the hopes of a yes. Stella looks over to Jasmine, unsure of what she wants, but Jasmine gives her a reassuring nod and smile. "I would love to." Stella finally agrees as she turns back to the woman,

"Amazing!!" the woman says hugging her excitedly, "Thank you so much for this opportunity!" Stella smiles, which quickly radiates onto me. "Of course, I will get you into contact with the our managers and they'll give you all the information you need as far as shows and shoots, okay?" the woman asks letting go of Stella, "Perfect, thanks again!" Stella smiles and shakes her hand goodbye

"Of course, I look forward to seeing you next week" the woman nods to Stella as we leave the store. As we walk out, I feel Stella's eyes burning on me. I turn my head to meet her gaze, "What?" I smile proudly, "So you called her and set that up?" she asks me trying to hide her best to hide a smile. "Well, you know- it was Jasmine's idea, I just pulled a few strings" I explain to her with a nonchalant shrug, trying to impress her. 

I hoped this would help her realize that being involved with me can open some big doors for her, she just rolls her eyes and smiled up at me, clearly grateful for my help, but her ego getting in the way of an actual thank you. 

-- time skip --

The girls have been shopping for what feels like an eternity while me and Bill drown in all their shopping bags that we've been dragging from store to store. I watch as Stella skips from one store to the next, her eyes sparkling with excitement. I could see how much of a kick she was getting out of pushing my limits,

"I think that was the last store" Stella sighs tiredly with her hands on her hips, "How are you the tired one?" I ask holding up the twenty shopping bags that are slowly cutting off the circulation in my arms, "Ever heard of 'shop till' you drop' Tom?" Stella laughs as her and Jasmine start walking towards the exit. Despite the day's exhaustion, watching Stella jump and smile made it all worthwhile.

 Me and Bill follow the girls out to the parking lot, the heavy bags dragging us down slowly. I make it to my car and I shove all the bags into my backseat, barely getting them all to fit. "Remind me to never make a bet with you again" I joke, using all my force to shut the door. I finally manage to get it shut and get into my side. "You okay?" I ask Stella, noticing her unusual silence.

"Do you think I made the right choice.. joining Victoria Secret?" she asks, biting her nails just like Bill does when he's stressed. "I do." I assure her with a light nod as I rest my hand on her thigh, she doesn't react since she's so deeply lost in thought. She quickly snaps out of it when Bill knocks on my window quickly, I look over and notice a sense of worry on his face. "Ja?" I ask while rolling down my window,

 Bill gestures for me to come closer to him while looking over at Stella. "Don't let the girls know anything's wrong, but their back." he whispers to me, my stomach sinks immediately knowing exactly what he's talking about. "We're taking them back to our place, their not safe after being seen with us." Bill orders still barely above a whisper. I nod my head in agreement, trying my best to hide my worry for Stella's safety.
