You are always on my mind

Chapter 74

"And smiling, the blonde took her girlfriend's hand in hers and invited her for a shower before their guest arrive."

In the shower Danielle showed all her love, desire and devotion to the woman of her life.

"Baby girl, I don't even know how to tell you how much you mean to me. I'm so glad you're mine. I love you more than anything in this world. You're my best friend, my soulmate, my everything. Just know no matter what life brings between us, you're still gonna be the only one I think about. Stefania, I've never loved this hard before. I love you so much, so, I want you to know that there is no reason at all for any kind of insecurity, okay? Please, mon amour, don't you feel threatened today, okay? You're the one and only woman I love, I want, I need. I would never do something to hurt you. I'd go for you where nobody has ever gone for me!"
"Dani, you're mine. And it's my job to keep you happy and safe forever. You came into my life and made it better by simply being there, and made me feel good. And my life wouldn't be the same without you, bella! That's why I'm that jealous... 🥺 you are the one person that I can't live without..."
"And you'll never need it, babe. I'm all yours! Head over feet, my love! I love you!"
"I love you, bella!"

After shower the couple changed into confy clothes and went to wait for Sophia, who didn't take long to arrive. When she heard the knock on the door, the personal trainer asked her girlfriend:

"Are you ready, baby?"

The attorney just nodded.

Before going to open the door, the ocean-eyed girl said:

"Just never forget that it's you that I love! You don't have to feel threatened, okay?"
"Okay" stefania mouthed.

So they went to open the door hand in hand. Danielle could feel her girlfriend's tension and just side hugged her, caressing her waist to make her feel better.

"Hi D. Long time to be seen, huh?"
"Yes, Soph..."
"And you must be Stefania." The green-eyed girl said smiling.
"Sì, I-I mean, yes." The italian said a little nervous.
"Gosh, D, she's everything you told me and more!"

The blue-eyed girl said proudly:

"Yes. Stef is a goddess! No one can compare to her! No offense, Soph."
"Oh Dani, you must believe me, you're not offending me at all."

Stefania started to relax a little when seeing Sophia and Danielle's interaction.

"Please Sophia, come in." The hazel-eyed girl invited nicely.
"Girls, I didn't know what to bring, but Danielle has told me so much about you, Stefania, that I feel like we're already great friends. So, I know you love this little spoil here, and I took my chances and decided to bring it to you. I hope you like it!" The actress said handing over a cardboard box to the italian.
"Oh bella, that's so kind of you! You didn't have to worry." Stefania said a little embarassed.
"Oh, it's just a treat from whom I hope can be good friends."

When the brunette opened the box she almost screamed with happiness.

"Dio santo, è tiramisù!" (My God, it's tiramisu!)

💭 Damn Soph, you just won my girl's heart once and for all! Good as fuck, girl!

"Grazie mile, bella!" (Thank you so much, bella!)
"Hey, I am your bella!" Danielle protested, pretending to be hurt.
"You will always be my bella, amore mio!"
"God damn it, Danielle Savre! You're so in love with her! That's amazing!"
"You know what, Sophia? There are people who come into our lives and make us really happy every day. Stefania is that person for me. She's the person who arrived and turned my world upside down, transforming it into a dream, because everything, next to her, is incredible!" And turning to face her favorite pair of chocolate eyes, the blonde said:

"I am completely happy to have you with me, honey. And have the privilege of calling you love every day! Stef, I love you so much!"

The italian melted. She could barely contain her happiness. Her girlfriend had declared her love in front of her friend, someone she knew Stefania was really jealous about, just like she said she would do.

"I love you too, bambina. More than words can say "
"D, I'm so happy for you, my friend! And so grateful to you, Stefania. Thank you for loving this little girl just the way she deserves."

The more the lawyer got to know the actress, the more she became enchanted and relaxed, finally understanding that she really wasn't a threat.

The evening was pleasant, and the dinner a success. Sophia left after midnight, despite Stefania and Danielle urging her to stay the night. When they were alone, the brunette said:

"Bambina, I'm sorry. I'm so ashemed!"
"Why honey? There is nothing to be sorry for, baby!"
"No, love. There is. I was so silly with this stupid jealousy. So I saw that Sophia is so cute and sweet and respects you, respects us a lot! So, I'm so sorry, princess!"
"Baby girl, never apologize for your feelings! I want you to express them all. No matter what it is. A relashionship isn't valuable if you can't tell your true feelings openly without feeling embarassed. To have a strong connection with someone, it's important to be able to express your emotions honestly without fear or judgement. So, my endless love,  I  want you to feel always free to tell me your emotions, okay!?"
"Dio santo... where were you, bella?"
"Waiting... for you! The love of my life!"
"You are the love of MY life, bambina."
"Stefania, you'te the one I love, the one I need. You're the only one I want forever!"
"I know, bambina. And I feel exactly the same!"
"I know, honey! 🥰"

They headed to bed between passionate kisses.

"Love, tell me, did you started Bradley's process? I didn't even asked you..."
"Yes, bella. Now it's just wait. And pray that this woman doesn't provoke Bradley or Stefani, and if that happens,  that our friend can hold back, so she won't mess everything."
"Yes, I'm concerned about it. Stef has italian blood, just like you, and when someone takes her out of serious, her characteristic temper comes out and then... puff... 💨"
"Puff? Hahahahahha."
"Yeah, hahahha. But everything is gonna be fine."
"Sì..."
"Baby girl..."
"Hm?"
"What are you willing to do for our anniversary?"
"Anniversary?" Stefania pretended to be unaware.
"Hahahaha, stop it! I know you didn't forget!"
"I would never forget it, bambina! I don't know, I just want to spoil my girl and..."
"Would you do something for me?"
"Anything, amore mio!"
"Okay. Just trust me, right?"
"Okay. But what is going on?"
"I was struggling to myself wondering if I should say something to you or to give you a total surprise. But I think it's better not to leave you completely unaware..."
"What's up, bambina?"
"Love, I need you po pack your bags..."
"What? Are you sending me out of home?" The italian joked.
"What? Of course not! Hahahahah I'm taking you on a trip, silly goose!"
"Oh, a trip? Where to?" The brunette asked all seductive.
"My lips are sealed. The only thing I'm gonna tell you is for you to take warm clothes, because we're going to be in the middle of an intense cold."
"But I know my princess will keep me warm..."
"You can bet on it! Especialy in bed.. "
"Wow, I loved it! But where are we going?"
"I've already said, it's a surprisd, love."
"And when are we going?"
The day after tomorrow..." the ocean-eyed girl said unpretentiously
"What? And you let me know it just now, bella?" Stefania said freaking out.
"Hey, calm down, my love. I already have everything ready!"
"But I don't, amore mio. I need to go shopping and.. "

At that moment, Danielle took several packages from her closet and handed them to stefania.
"What is this, bella?"
"Part of your dating anniversary gift, love."
"Oh my God, bambina! It's too much! And a few days early, don't you think?"
"No, princess. You deserve the world! This is not even close to everything you deserve, love."

Stefania blushed and broke into a beautiful smile with every package she opened. Danielle had bought a lot of warm clothes, suitable for facing an intense cold.

"Dio santo, bambina! I have no words to tell you how much I loved everything!"
"Really?" The blonde asked melting.
"Yes, my love! Thank you so much! I love you! But I don't have your anniversary gift here. I left it on Stefani's house. I didn't want you to see it before the date, but now..."
"Hey, don't worry babe! I also would wait for the day, but since we are going away, I knew you'd freak out because you didn't have time to go shopping, so I decided to give you this first, my dear. But don't worry, okay?"
"Okay... it's just I wanted to..."
"Shhh. My biggest gift is right here, on front of me!"
"Amore mio, you make me the happiest woman in the world!"
"And what makes you think that you don't do the same to me,  baby girl? Stefania, I'm crazy for you!"
"I'm crazy for you too, bambina. Now, come here, and dammi un baccio!"
