You are always on my mind

Chapter 23

"But two friends called me to take care of their pain... so, I put mine in my pocket and went! I love you girls!"

The trio was very happy! Danielle and Stefani didn't let go for a second. All the time holding hands, as if they were glued together. When they let go of their hands it was to hug their waist.
The italian took her girlfriend and their friend to visit some special places in Catania and they had a lot of fun, despite sometimes having some difficulties in get rid of the crowd, wich recognized Lady Gaga. But that didn't hinder their fun and happiness at all.

"Bambina, is there any place in Catania you would like to know?" Asked the brunette
"Mmm, I think so..."
"Yeah? Where? I can take you there." Said the hazel-eyed girl smiling and looking at Gaga and Danielle.

Danielle just smirked and said:

"Well, I don't think I can take Stefani to this place..." the blonde looked longinly at her girlfriend, smiling and licking her lips.

Stefania smiled wide and felt her body reacting immediately. Stefani laughed hard and teased her friend:

"Oh baby, I wouldn't complain to share this moment with you! Hahahaha."

The blue-eyed girl slapped the singer's arm saying:

"No way!!! 😡 This hot italian is all mine! I don't share! 😤"

Everybody laughed and Stefania leaned in for a kiss saying:

"That's right bella. I'm all yours! 🥰😍❤"

They continued the tour until the italian invite them to have lunch. The other two immediately agreed, as they were starving.
Stefania asked:

"What kind of food do you girls want to eat? We have..."
"Italian!" Danielle cut her girlfriend, licking her lips, smirking and staring straight into the brunette's eyes.
Stefani laughed hard and Stefania choked.

"What? Are you okay, baby?"  The blonde asked innocently.

Stefani replied:

"I don't believe! Dani, you're such a pocker face! 🤣🤣🤣🤣"

The blue-eyed girl just smiled and kissed her girlfriend.

"Whatever baby girl. You choose. Surprise me my love!"

The italian hugged her girlfriend and took them to a very cozy bistro nearby.
Arriving there, both americans were enchanted. Of course, they had to ask for a more reserved table, as everyone wanted to to talk to Lady Gaga. But even though, the lunch was really nice and fun.

"Stefania, thank you so much for this. Besides being a beautiful place, I was really needing this." Said the singer.
"Oh Stef, the pleasure is mine!"

They kept talking  for a little while. The couple didn't let go for nothing. The exchange of caresses, the frequently stolen kisses, the wide smiles, everything was perfect!

"Girls, what do you think we manage to go? There are so many beautiful places that I want to take you."
"Sure my love!"
"Of course. Let me pay..." said Gaga.
"No way. This is on me!" Said the brunette.
"No!" Danielle and Stefani said in unison.

Suddenly they began to discuss who would pay for the lunch. But when the singer heard a notification on her cell phone, she froze... this made the other two stop their discussion and look at her worriedly...

"Stefani, are you okay?" Danielle asked.
"H-he's here!"
"Who is here dear?" Asked the blonde.

Tears began to fall down on the pop star's face. Stefania was really confused but the blue-eyed girl had already a clue...

"Bradley is here? Where?" Asked the personal trainer.

The singer just nodded in agreement.

"Amore mio, what is going on?" Asked the brunette.
"Love, please help me to to find Bradley around here."
"Bradley... Cooper?" Asked Stefania.
"Yes."
"But why would he be here?"
"Because he is Stefani's ex... 🤦🏻‍♀️"
"Shit! The italian whispered realizing what was going on... both, Stefani and Danielle looked around but they didn't see anybody.
"Stef, look at me! How do you know he's here?" The blonde asked.

The green-eyed girl just showed her cell phone to them.

🗨 "You don't have to fight for your tab ladies. Your lunch is on me. It was a pleasure!"

"Fuck!" Danielle said.
"Stef, hey, look at me. Don't let him ghost you! I know you still love him, but it's time to stop torturing yourself. Bradley was the asshole. So, he's the one who must fix things if he wants you back. And this can't be fixed with an attitude like that. He must grow up and face the consequences, face you, ok?"
"Yes, you're right. You know what? Watch me!"
"Thank you for your kindness mr Cooper. We really appreciated that. 🖕🖕🖕"
"Hahahahaha. That's my girl!" Said the other american.
"Perfect. You're amazing Stef. I'm proud of you sweetie!" Said the italian.
"Well, let's get the hell out of here. I wanna have a lot of fun and this won't happen if I stay here crying for him."
"Exactly! Let's go!" Said Stefania.

And after confirming that their tab was really paid, wich it was, they thanked and left.

The rest of the day was fantastic. They had a lot of fun. And when they were returning home the italian received a call.

"Ciao Gabri, let's speak english, please."
"What? Why?"
"Well, first of all, I'm driving and you're on speakerphone. And I'm with Danielle and a friend of ours. (She didn't tell her Lady Gaga was with her because she knew her friend would freak out, once she loved the singer.) And Danielle doesn't speak italian."
"Okay. Whatever. Well, I'm calling to invite you all to come here tomorrow night for some drinks. What do you think?"
"Mmm, I don't know. Can I call you back when I get home?"
"Okay. I'll be waiting. Bacio."
"Bacio."

After hanging up, the brunette said:

"Gabriela is a longtime friend of mine. And she's dying to meet you, my love. As for you, Stef, I confess I didn't say you were with us for the sake of my mental sanity. Hahaha. Gabri loves you and as soon as she knows we're together, she will freak out and bug me until she can meet you... 🤷‍♀️"
"Hahahaha. Really?" Asked Stefani.
"Si."
"Bella, this is not an issue to me. Why didn't you say yes?" Asked the green-eyed girl.
"Really?"
"Yes! 😁"
"Bambina?"
"Sure honey. We can go!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, babe. As long as I'm with you, I can go anywhere." Replied the blonde caressing the italian's cheek.

Stefania melted. And smiling, said:

"Okay. Let me tell her then. But Stef, be prepared... hahaha. And, as for you fidanzata... 🥰 you'll make me the happiest woman in the whole world just for being by my side in this party. I will introduce the womqn of my life to my friends!!! 🥰🥰🥰. I love you bambina!"
"I love you too baby girl! I can't wait to meet your friends. If they are important for you, I wanna know them. And just to make things clear, you are the woman of my life too, princess. ❤❤"
"Yeah."
