What Really Happened

Chapter 10

Danielle POV

"BARRETT!" I scream from the steps of my trailer. We are back to filming for season 4.

"D, you don't have to shout that much when I am literally walking towards you!" I pull her into my trailer and start jumping around. "Ok, I'm going to need context here."

"We kissed." I'm still jumping.

"Wait, did I miss something?" Barrett sits down on my couch looking confused.

"So, after you all left my house the other day, we started texting and both got upset so I went to Stefania's house." I got nauseous from all the jumping so sit next to Barrett, "we hugged for ages then I started going into panic but she stopped me mid-sentence and told me to kiss her!"

"So let me get this straight," Barrett chuckled at the grin on my face, "she told you to kiss her?"

"Yes, and Barrett, it was the softest and most gentle kiss I've ever had with anyone and it was meaningful." I felt my cheeks go bright red.

"So, are you two a thing now?"

"I don't know. We haven't even talked about it. We just know that we want to see where this can take us and keep it a secret." My heart rate is slowing down now.

Barrett doesn't say anything but she pulls me into a really tight hug. We hear a knock on the door and it swing open "Hello ladies!" Jaina runs and jumps on top of us both making us huff at the pressure.

"D kissed Stef" Barrett blurted out as Jaina got off us.

"What? When? How? What was it like?" Jaina sat on the floor in front of me cross legged with her hands propping up her head giving me puppy dog eyes.

"The other day after you all left. She told me to and it was like nothing I've ever experienced before." My smile is growing bigger.

"AAAHHHHH!" Jaina got up and started jumping, I allow myself to join her closely followed by Barrett.

We all calmed down after some time and sat in my trailer in a comfortable silence. "I think I love her."

Jaina and Barrett smirked at each other and said in unison "WE KNOW."

"Am I crazy though? I mean we aren't even official and haven't even spoke about it yet."

"D," Barrett sat upright, "Stef once told me that love can come in many forms, you can love something about someone or you can love their soul." My eyes started filling with tears.

"You, Danielle, clearly love her soul." Jaina took my hand. 

Stefania POV

"Papa, ciao." I decided to call my father.

"Ciao Stefania. How are you?" He sounds happy to hear from me.

"Papa.. I..."

"Say whatever is on your mind Stefania."

I am so nervous now, "I am going to ask someone to date me and I need your honest opinion."

"Who is the lucky gentleman?" I can hear the smile in his voice.

My palms are now sweating, "He is a she papa."... "Papa?"

"Stefania, before your mother passed away, she told me to love you no matter what. This is what she meant wasn't it?" I can tell he is slightly disappointed.

"Si... I... I told mama before she passed that I like both men and women but I had her promise not to tell you yet but I will when I'm ready." I hold my phone away from my ear slightly, expecting him to shout at me. But instead I hear sniffles. "Papa, are you ok?"

"My beautiful girl, you have never needed to be worried about my reaction. I knew since you were a bambina that you were, what do they call it these days? Bi-sexual?"

Now I am crying "Si papa."

"You always looked at women the same way you did men. I have always loved you and I always will no matter who you love."

"You don't know how much just hearing that means to me." I wipe the tears from my face. After some catching up, I had to leave to be on set soon. I couldn't feel more accepted by my father. He is the one person I thought would have an issue with me potentially being with a woman because of how conservative he is. I was really proven wrong.

As I pull up onto set, I see Danielle's car and I now have butterflies. Thinking back to the other day puts a smile on my face. That kiss was so loving and gentle. We were being us and not Maya and Carina. I could tell the difference. It meant so much to both of us, well I hope both of us.

I sit in the hair trailer alone waiting for the stylist, scrolling through social media when I felt two arms slowly make their way around my neck with a head resting on my shoulders. I can tell who it is just by their arms and their gentle touch. Butterflies again. "Hello bambina." I whisper. My eyes slowly looking up at the mirror to see those beautiful ocean blue eyes looking back at me.

"Oh how I've missed you." A seductive tone in her voice.

Suddenly we both move apart as Jason walks in. He looks at both of us trying to act natural and just smirks. "You two are so obvious."

"Umm.. Sorry?" I look at him trying to sound confused at his very spot on point.

"Oh come on, you both are very attractive young women who have insane chemistry and the best friendship. I was actually wondering when you would announce that you are a couple." Jason sits in the chair next to me.

"Jase, we were just hugging," Danielle started, "we are not a couple, we don't feel like that for one another."

Jason giggled, "alright, whatever you say." He stood up and opened the door, "hi, who are you?"

"Where is she?" An angry male voice I didn't recognize.
