You are always on my mind

Chapter 5

"Good night, mi belline. See you later."

💭 Today is the day. I can't wait!" Thought Stefania.

💭 Oh my God, today is the day! I can't believe I'm gonna see her... and the others too. This is really amazing! I'm so nervous." Thought the blonde feeling restless... I think I'm gonna call Jake. I need to talk to a friend..."

"Hi. How are you my dear friend?"
"Hey sunshine! I'm good, and you?""
"I'm good. I just can't wait for our facetime!"
"Yes, me too! Do you think everyone is gonna be there?"
"Mmm I don't know, but I really hope so!"
"Same, sunshine."
"Jake, I'm so anxious. And kinda nervous too!" Admited the blonde shyly.
"Why sunshine? Everything is gonna be great!"
"I know. Actually, I'm pretty sure about that!"
"So, what's the point, then?"
"Well..."
"I know. It's Stefania, right?"
"W-what?"
"Come on sunshine. I know you!"
"B-but..."
"Hey, it's okay. Don't worry. This is gonna be just between us."
"What?"
"Sunshine, come on. You don't have to hide things from me. I know you pretty well. I know you have a huge crush on her, and it's okay! 🥰"
"Ah, Jake... I can't hide this anymore! This girl drives me crazy! She's so damn fucking perfect!"
"I can "read" you very well,dear. I knew it."
"Shit Jake. How did you know? Even me didn't notice that before... and you were so correct. I know I might have being kinda transparent, but you're able to see things about me that not even I was able to notice yet..."
"Ah sunshine.... I know you pretty well."
"Yes, you do. Hahahaha."
"But don't worry. She will be there!"
"I hope so! I need to look at that beautiful face. God, she's so gorgeous!"
"How do you know sunshine?"
"Well, she sent me a picture of hers. A shy smile... she's simply fascinating! Her hazel eyes smiles too. All I know is that my entire world stopped for a while when I saw her picture..."
"Hahaha, wow, someone looks mesmerized!"
"You can be 100% sure about this. Well my friend, I have some classes before we start our video chat. See you later then, okay?"
"Okay sunshine. See you. And don't worry. Everything is gonna be okay."
"Okay. Thanks. Laters. 😘"
"Laters. 😘"

Time took long to pass... Stefania was nervous too... today, in a few hours, she'd be able to see Danielle's face... just thinking about it, gave the brunette lots of chills.

💭 Merda... sono io la sola che brama di vederla in continuazione? O anche lei si sente come me? Spero que siamo sulla stessa lunghezza d'onda... oh cazzo e se gli altri si accorgessero che la sto fissando? O peggio, se LEI se ne accorge? Che cosa faccio? Ma è impossibile non guardarla... lei è... è... ah, Stef, calmati! (Shit... is it just me that's so eager and restless to see her or does she feel like me too? I hope we're on the same page... oh cazzo, what if the others notice I'm just staring at her? Worse... what if SHE notices that I just look at her? What do I do? But it will be impossible not to look at her... she is, she is... ah Stef, calm down!)

The truth is that both girls were anxious, and none of them could wait anymore. The antecipation was killing them both. The brunette decided to try her chances and call Danielle...

"Hi bella. How are you?"
"Hi kitten. I'm good, bambina. And you?"
"I'm good. Can't eait for our facetime..."
"Me neither, mi belline!"
"Am I bothering you? Are you at work?" Asked the brunette.
"Don't worry baby girl. You're not bothering at all! You NEVER do! I have no costumers now. I'm in a break. I'm glad you called me. I wanted to call you, but I was afraid of being disturbing you..."
"You know you don't bother me, bella. Every time I find a message from you, it gives me smiles. So, you did want to talk to me?" Asked the italian smiling like a fool at her phone.

The personal trainer barelly heard the rest of the sentence. She stopped on "give me smiles"...

"Ah, of course. I'm always wanting to talk to you, baby." Replied the blonde trying no to sound awkward once she was in a kind of a trance after Stefania's words...
"It seems we're conected! Hahaha."
"Definitely yes! And I like this!" Stated the american.
"Yes, me too, bambina!" Agreed the brunette.
"Well, I was talking to Jake earlier... do you believe all of us will attend this facetime, baby?"
"Mmm, I don't know. Maybe. But honestly, the only one who can't not being there is..." the hazel eyed girl silenced and when she tried to delete the message she ended up sending it by mistake....

💭 Merda! (Shit!)

Danielle saw it just as the message was sent... she opened a huge smile when she saw it...

"Is?"... teased the personal trainer, although she already knew the answer.
"Sorry bella. It wasn't supposed to be sent to you."
"Why not? Tell me Stef, who can't be missed, belline?"
"Ah no bella, just forget it."
"Stefania..."

The brunette cursed in italian and shot: "you bella. You're the only one who can't miss it!"

The blue-eyed girl smiled wide and said: "you're wrong, bambina. There is one more person not allowed to miss it."
"Yes? Who?" Asked the hazel-eyed girl innocently.
"You, of course!" All the confidence of the personal trainer was gone the instant she sent the message.
"Aaawwwnnn, bella, you're so cute!"
"So do you, bambina!"

They kept talking a little bit more when Stefania realized it was almost time for their video chat....

"Bella it's almost time!"
"Oh, it's true. I haven't seen time passing. With you time flyes away! Why?" Asked the blonde.
"No lo so, bella! I just feel the same! But give me a few minutes, I need to find an outfit. I don't want to look like a real mess..."
"Aaahhh, first, what did you say? Hahahahha"
"Oh, sorry. I said I don't know, bella.
"Oh, okay. Second, don't be silly, baby. Even if you tried really hard, you still wouldn't be able to look like a mess! You're so beautiful. Effortless beautiful! 🥰..."
"You're so cute, bella!"
"Not as much as you!"
"Bambina, I'll be right back, okay? See you in a few minutes, this time on a video call. I just can't wait!"
"Okay beautiful. I can't wait!. 😘"

Both girls wanted to change their outfits. Both of them wanted so bad to look amazing, and choose something nice was really hard...

Everything was perfectly good. And tgey were just waiting the clock. Their hearts were beating fast in antecipation.

Jake was the one who started. He made the group call. Barret answered, followed by Jaina. Danielle, after some deep breaths joined the group already looking for Stefania. But she wasn't there yet. After a few seconds, the brunette joined them too. And as soon as their eyes met, a huge smile appeared on their faces. Their eyes glowed and smiled too. They were on their own bubble and didn't even realize that Kate joined the group.
"Hi everyone! How are y'all?" Asked Barret .
"Good." They all replied.

Stefania and Danielle could barelly pay attention to the conversation... they were on their own planet, the planet Stefanielle. It was fantastic to see each other and their eyes refused to look at another person.

They chatted for a long time. But staring at each other all the time. Stefania was worried... 💭 are you noticing that I just look at her? But I just can't take my eyes off of her. And her? Has she noticed? Well, fuck off. I don't care! She's amazing!!!

Danielle was mesmerized as well. Jaina had to ask for her attention three times in a row...

"Danielle..."
"Oh sorry. What did you say, Jaina?"
"Are you okay?"
"Yes. Sure. 😊. I was.just thinking about my.next class." Lied the personal trainer.
"Don't worry."

Jake new she wasn't thinking about any class, unless her next costumer was Stefania.

They chatted for more than 1h and a half and curiously Stefania and Danielle barelly spoke to each other. They stared at each other all the time, but didn't exchange many words...

Suddenly people began to say their goodbyes and this took both of them out of their trance.

"Guys, it was amazing! Let's do another one soon, okay?" Said Jaina.
"Absolutelly!" Replied Danielle. "I just can't wait!."
" me neither!" Stated Stefania.

This night was hard to contain the excitement of seeing the reason for their endless nights of dreams and fantasies right in front of them, and all that the two couldn't do, was to sleep...
