Finding their way- Stefanielle

chapter three

Stefania POV-

My keys rattled inside my lock, and my door finally swung open. I chucked my keys into my trinket tray in the hallway, and started to wonder towards the kitchen.

Then I started to hear a buzzing in my pocket, I looked down at the illuminated screen, and saw an unknown number. Of course, intrigued, I answered.

"Stefania speaking, who is this?" I said quickly.

"Oh gosh sorry! This is Danielle. Danielle Savre. I just wanted to check in before our table read in a few days time. Hope that's okay?"

"Of course Bella, I just got home. What are you up to?" I said with a small grin appearing on my face.

"Nothing much really, that's why I called you" I small chuckle escaped after she said that. I loved her laugh. It made me feel dreamy.

A thought crossed my mind and I decided to shoot my shot.

"Um Danielle, would you like to come over? You said you're not up to much and I've got the rest of my day free. It's alright if..."

She cut me off.

"That would be amazing. Send me through your address and I'll be right over. See you in a bit!"

I deep breath escaped that I didn't even know I was holding, and I sent her my address immediately.

Danielle POV-

I was so excited. I couldn't believe she asked me, I couldn't be happier. Then it finally hit met that I had to get ready. I still had my boring trainers on from earlier today, and I knew I had to look lovely for Stefania. Effortlessly lovely.

I ran upstairs to my dressing room and started frantically flicking through all my clothes. I finally decided on a pair of mom jeans, a semi- smart blouse and a pair of black heels to make me look half presentable.

Making my way to my bathroom, I decided on some simple mascara and concealer. Oh, and I brushed my teeth. Just in case. I gave myself a quick smile in the mirror and decided it was time to go.

I had just pulled into Stefania's driveway and even from the outside her house looked absolutely lovely. After quickly composing myself in the car, I stepped out and went to knock on the door. However, it swung open before my hand could reach it and just as quickly as the door opened Stefania threw her arms around me.

I was a bit taken aback but quickly reciprocated the hug. I stroked both my hands up her back feeling every little bump and piece of fabric. It felt like we could be there for eternity in each other's arms. I felt safe.

Stefania slowly pulled away and locked our contrasting eyes together. We both broke into a little smile and a giggle.

"Lovely to see you Bella, come on in!"

She indicated one of her arms to her front door, welcoming me into her home. As soon as I walked in I was greeted with two things. This amazing smell of Italian food and a dog running effortlessly along the wooden floor.

I bent down and welcomed the little animal into my arms, causing a chuckle to escape from my lips. I looked back up to Stefania.

"Ah I see you have met Jeff. She seems to love you already"

"She?" I say with a confused look on my face

"Si, she suits it don't you think"

"Very much so, don't you Jeff" I said petting her behind her ears.

I then drew my attention back to the amazing smell coming from Stefania's kitchen.

"Wow what is that Stefania, it smells absolutely amazing"

"Aw thank you Bella, I made some pasta! Wanna come see?"

Stefania POV-

I slowly led Danielle to my kitchen, with Jeff in toe of course. I turned back and saw a smile forming on her face. She was so beautiful.

"I haven't quite finished yet, so why don't you help me out. Quickly wash your hands for me!" I said with some excitement in my voice.

The blue eyed woman wondered towards the sink and turned on the tap. But the water flew absolutely everywhere and went all up her shirt.

I burst out laughing after quickly running to turn the tap off. Danielle just stood there in absolute shock and then started to do the same.

I gave her a quick glance up and down and saw she was dripping with water. I quickly got a tea towel which was hanging from my oven and dashed over to her.

"May I?" I asked

She nodded.

I placed the towel in my left hand and slowly grabbed the hem of her shirt with my right. Gently manoeuvring my hand so I could get a good grip to dry her off.

My hand made contact with her stomach and goosebumps rose up on her skin.

We made eye contact and once again got lost in the ever ending serenity of each other's eyes. I felt as if I was home; and I'm starting to think she feels the same.

A/N you lucky things getting two chapters in one day. What are everyone's thoughts?
