Danielle and Stefania woke up side by side although not touching each other. Stef woke up before Dani, still feeling the effects of the alcohol and the emotions spilled last night. She went to the bathroom to wash her face and brush her teeth, but when she got in there she had to rush to the toilet because she just started throwing up. She was seriously regretting getting up to start heavily drinking as soon as the movie finished last night. Dani must've heart the retching coming from the bathroom as she woke up and went to see what was wrong. As soon as she went into the bathroom she quickly went to hold back Stefanias hair for her. "Hey hey its okay get it out" she said as Stefania was struggling to regain composure. Stef was already exhausted and felt weak even though she just woke up.
"I'm a mess i'm sorry" she managed to get out through breaths. Danielle started to get worried as normally Stefania isnt this down, even after having a rough day, but she decided against drawing any attention to it yet. "I promise you dont need to apologise im here for you its okay" Dani said, trying her best to comfort her. Stefania got up when she was sure she was okay again and went to get cleaned up at the sink while Danielle waited outside, lying down on the bed.
"Hey come here" Dani said with open arms as Stef came out of the bathroom. Stefania didnt have the energy to fight it so she gave in and relaxed in danielles arms, her safe place. Dani stroked her arm as she felt her start to tense up after a little while.
After a few minutes Danielle felt tears fall onto her chest and quiet sniffles coming from Stefania. She knew something was definitely wrong and decided to bring it up because she was genuinely concerned about whatever was going on.
"Stef talk to me, you're not yourself, whats going on?" Stefania didnt reply and just snuggled further into Danielles chest. She let out a big sigh and finally found the courage to talk about it. "I've just been really missing my mama recently and have kept it all bottled up, i guess what happened yesterday just pushed me over the edge and now I feel like im drowning in all my emotions and I cant make it stop" she managed to get out before crying some more, a lot more tears flowing than before.
"It's okay get it out Stef" Dani whispered to her while rubbing her back. Eventually Stefania calmed down and got herself settled again. "Your mama loves you so much and you make her proud every day, its only been 4 years since she passed its okay to feel upset about it, it's completely normal you don't have to stop yourself from feeling emotions okay?" Dani said in a soft tone while Stefania just nodded in response.
"Thank you bella" Stef said in an extremely quiet whisper. They laid there for a few minutes before Danielle offered to go downstairs and make them breakfast to which Stefania agreed to. Stef took a quick shower whilst Danielle made french toast for breakfast. It was only about 10am but both of them were starving so they ate as soon as it was ready.
"Do you wanna go out today? Take your mind off everything? Or just chill at home" Dani asked as they were both sat on the sofa. "I think I need a chill day today" Stef said, slightly looking up at Dani to see her reaction because she felt bad about not wanting to go out. "Thank God i could do with a lazy day too" Dani said while giggling, making Stefania smile.
They settled for binge watching Stranger Things on Netflix and stayed on the sofa for a good few hours, only getting up to use the toilet or grab snacks or a drink. However Stefania couldn't stop looking over and catching little glimpses of Dani from the corner of her eyes, she felt different around her recently which terrified her because they'd been friends for years and didn't know what this meant. They were both in comfy clothes, and danielle had her hair in a messy bun while Stefania had hers in a low ponytail, but Stef couldn't get over how effortlessly gorgeous Dani looked sat in the corner of the sofa with her legs crossed in front of her just casually watching the tv. She caught herself staring for a little longer than intended and quickly looked away and started to blush, not realising Danielle saw her and a small smile crept onto her face.
After a little while Danielle got a facetime call from their mutual friend Barrett, and quickly accepted. "Well hello D have you forgotten about me??" Barrett said as soon as the facetime connected. "Honestly yeah I think I might've" Dani replied in a sarcastic tone. They hadn't spoken for a few days hence why Barrett decided to tease her a little. "Im with Stefania by the way" Dani added before moving the camera over so that Stef was in shot too, before moving it back onto herself. "Oh hey girl!" Barrett said loudly before focusing back on Danielle and giving her a knowing look, whilst wiggling her eyebrows.
Anytime the three of them hung out, weather it was just them or with the rest of their friendship group, there was always a very close and flirtatious vibe between them and Barrett had definitely picked up on it. She had bought it up with Danielle as she was closer with her but Dani always denied it, and almost got a little too defensive about the whole thing, which made Barrett even more convinced she was right.
"Where all yall? Are you up for a girls night tonight l?" Barrett asked both women. Dani turned to Stefania to see what she thought and she smiled and nodded eagerly. Danielle agreed and arranged for Barrett to arrive at Stefanias for 7pm. They spoke for a little while longer before hanging up and deciding to leave the rest of the conversation for later on when they were all together.
"You know you dont have to agree to tonight if you don't want to, i know you still probably dont feel 100%" Danielle said in a soft, loving tone. "Its okay i could use a distraction" Stef replied
About 45 minutes passed by and they were still on the sofa, Danielle looked over at Stef and realised she was crying, looking so upset which broke her heart. She scooted over to Stefania and without saying a word cuddled her into a loving embrace. Stefania began to sob and get out everything she forced herself to push down previously. Dani did nothing but hold her and comfort her, not knowing the best thing to say at that exact moment.
After a few minutes Stef managed to settle down and ended up just cuddling into Danielle which Dani of course happily accepted. "Are you sure youre gonna be okay for tonight Stef?"
"I'll be fine i swear, I just needed to get that out of me its been bubbling up for too long and now just needed to be out out of me" Stefania said in a hushed voice. "Okay. You can still change your mind we have a good few hours before Barretts coming over" Dani replied. "Thank you bella but dont worry I really am looking forward to tonight"
After Stefania was fully okay again they decided to get ready and sort out the house as they had made quite a mess from yesterday til now. Danielle went to take a quick shower as Stef tidied most of the mess and then went to get changed out of her pyjamas herself. Once Dani was out the shower she also got dressed and put on a little bit of makeup and they were both ready.
They decided to head to the nearest little shop and grab a few snacks before Barrett was due to arrive at the house later on that evening.
At about 6:15pm they got back to Stefs and talked about some ideas of entertainment they wanted to do with barrett and eagerly sat on the sofa waiting for her to arrive.
