You are always on my mind

Chapter 9

"Okay. This makes things a little easier."

Danielle finally realized where LG was trying to get. At first the girl was confused by the question and looked at her friend with a lost face, but after think a little about it, she understood her point.

Stefani realized that Danielle was trying to understand where that question would lead them. So, she just said: "don't answer now. I want you to think about this question, specially the reason why I asked you that."

Danielle just nodded in agreement.

LG - "Well, I'd love to hear you play and sing some song now. Can you do that for me?"
D - "Sure. I promissed you I would do this 😊. Can I use your piano, please?"
LG - "Wow, that's amazing! Of course you can! Wich song will you play, sweetie?"
D - "It's a brazilian song, called Só vejo você (I only see you) by Tania Mara. Do you know this song?
LG - "Mmm, I'm afraid not. As long as I love brazilians songs, I don't remember having heard this one. But let's go. Play it for me, maybe I can remember if I've already heard it."

The blonde sat at the piano and started to play. She played like an angel. Stefani was amazed.

💭 Fuck me! I didn't know she played like that!

Danielle was really in another planet while she played. Lost gaze... really thoughful.

"Mais um dia triste
Me pego outra vez pensando em você
Não dá pra evitar
O seu olhar me disse
Que ainda há tanta coisa pra se entender
Pra que controlar
Paz, é tudo o que eu venho tentando encontrar
Mas, me vem a saudade fazendo lembrar
Tentei evitar
Tentei esquecer tudo o que me lembra você
Tentei nao te amar
Mas olho no espelho e nada de me reconhecer
So vejo você"
(Another sad day
I find myself thinking about you again
I can't avoid
Your gaze told me
That there is still so much to understand
Why control it
Peace, that's all I've been trying to find
But, the long comes to me reminding me
I tried to avoid it
I tried to forget everything that reminds me of you
I tried not to love you
But I look in the mirror and there's nothing to recognize me
I only see you)

As she played and sang, the personal trainer didn't even notice that tears began to run down her face... Gaga noticed it and sat down by her side and started stroking her back silently, nust hearing the song.

"Se bate um desespero
No mesmo instante o que eu quero é você
Pra me abraçar
Já não importa o tempo
Não tenho medo de me arrepender
Não vou controlar
Paz..."
(If despair hits me
At the same time what I want is you
To hug me
It doesn't matter time
I'm not.afraid to regret it
I won't control it
Peace...)

Stefani couldn't avoid the thought of how fucked her friend was... she was really deeply in love with the italian...

"Eu sei que mesmo que eu tente
Isso não vai passar
Tentei evitar
Tentei esquecer tudo o que me lembra você
Tentei não te amar
Mas olho no espelho e nada de me reconhcer
Só vejo você!"
(I know that even if I try
It won't pass
I tried to avoid
I tried to forget everything that reminds me of you
I tried not to love you
But I look in the mirror and there's nothing to recognize me
I only see you!)

When she finished playing, Danielle looked at Stefani and smiled awkwardly. The singer smiled back and said:
"That was really beautiful! And I think we both know for whom this song was , don't we?"

The blonde just noded and cried even more...

"Hey, it's okay." Said Gaga.
"Stef, I'm really confused... I mean... what is this?
"Calm down, babe. I think you're not confused. You probably already know what is this. You just need time to understand everything that's going on. This whirlwind of emotions inside you. Don't hurry, just take your time, okay? I'm here for you. Ever!"

They got there for a while, Danielle was slowly calming down. Then Stefani looked deep into her eyes and said: "beautiful, this doesn't have to be a reason for suffering. Look, you're not alone! Take your time not only to discover yourself, but also to understand what is going there inside this beautiful little heart. One step at a time, don't rush anything, this is a process. You two have a lot to discover, to understand. Just be calm."
"Okay. I promise you that." Said the blonde sniffling.
"Good. Now, what about we play a bit more? You played and sang like an angel! I need to hear more!"
"Hahahhaha, Jee, Stefani.... you're gonna kill me!"
"No, I won't. Hahahah. Come on now!"
"Okay. Now, I'll take the guitar."
"Deal! Here we go." Said the pop star. "Wich song will we play?"
"Mmmm, do you know Amazed, by Lonestar?"
"Oh yes! 🥰 I love that song! Let's go for it. But this time I'll go to the drums."
"Yeah!!!" Danielle high fived.
"Let's go for it!" Said the blue-eyed girl.

They started to play and Gaga said "you're shining bella!"

"Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take...
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you
It just keeps getting better...
I wanna spend the rest of my life
With you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you..."

💭 shit, you're really csrewed baby... you're completelly in love with this girl...

The song came to an end and Gaga stated "dude, I'm gonna take you with me on my next show!"
"No way! Hahahahhaha"
"And what if this show was in Italy?"
"Really? Are you serious? When?"
"Hahahhaa I'm sorry babe, I don't have nothing schedulled yet. I was just messing you... "

Danielle pouted and pretended to be mad, but soon started to laugh.

"Well, as long as I really love to spend time with you, I really need to go. Tomorrow my day will be full..."
"Oh, don't go now. Just sleep here. It's really late."
"Are you sure? I don't want to bother you..."
"Come on! Stop that. You never bother me!"
"Okay then."

And hugged, they headed upstairs. Stefani was in bed facing the ceiling thinking about a way to find out about how Stefania feels about Danielle, while the blonde could barely sleep thinking about everything she had somehow discovered that night. In other words, she was trying to cope with her whirlwind of emotions, like Gaga had defined so well earlier that night.

"Jake, are you awake? I need you..."
