stefanielle/marina one-shots

the red carpet

My beautiful girlfriend danielle and I have been together for awhile now. We were also friends for a few years after meeting on Station 19. We haven't told the fans about us yet because Krista and Shonda have asked us to wait until the seasons over. We have kept our relationship private since last month when we told the rest of the cast and our close family members.

Tonight we have a red carpet premiere event for season 7 of station. We spend almost all of our time together and with marina being on better circumstances this season we have spent even more time together the last few months as filming started.

I hate not being able to tell the fans but I think danielle hates it even more. She's always the one to post, do lives, or live-tweet when the new episodes air. But due to Krista's wishes we can't be together too much tonight so the fans don't expect anything. We're going to have a very hard time trying to keep our hands to ourselves and our glances minimal. To hopefully make this as easy as possible we are spending all day together and getting ready together at my house.

I wake up to a soft kiss on my lips and danielle pushing away some hair that was on my face. "Good morning, my love" danielle says as she gives me another kiss. "Buongiorno bella" I reply as a smile grows on my face. Dani hands me my coffee that she had gotten a lot better at making over the last few months. I take a small sip of the hot beverage before turning to danielle. "Are you excited for tonight bambina?" I ask. My girlfriend joins me in bed and thought about her response for a moment.

"I am, I just hate that we have to hide our relationship" I said as while looking into stef's beautiful brown orbs. "I know bella, we just have to get through this season and then we can be completely open about it" she responds trying to get me to look on the bright side. She rests my head on her shoulder and starts running her fingers through my hair knowing that calms me down.

"How about we watch a movie after breakfast and cuddle" stef asks. I know her love language is physical touch and she will struggle tonight because she normally likes to be touching me in some way. Whether we are holding hands, standing close, her hand on my thigh, or literally being on top of each other, she is always touching me. And don't get me wrong I love it, and it's one of my favorite things about her. "Of course baby. What do you want for breakfast?" I ask before moving to get out of bed.

"Could you make me some eggs please" I ask before following danielle out of our room. "Eggs do sound really good right now" she replies before pulling out a pan and getting the eggs out of the freezer. I sit down at the counter and check my phone for any important messages. I see a few from the rest of the cast and another giving me details about tonight. We have to be there at 7pm and we have the carpet before we will watch the first episode of the new season together.

I fill dani in on the new info and she finishes cooking the eggs before handing me a plate. "What time is your makeup artist coming?" I ask. "I think Daniele is coming around 4:30, i'm just doing a simple look tonight" she responds while pouring herself some water. "Ok I think mine is coming around then too." I reply as I start walking into my living room.

We finish our breakfast and start to watch Mamma Mia. It is one of danielle's favorite movies and I don't really care what we watch because I know my mind will be racing for most of it. These red carpet events are always hard for me because there is always so much going on and the cameras are capturing your every move.

My mind starts wandering as expected and after a bit danielle takes notice. She pauses the movie and turns to look at me. "Stef, what's wrong?" she asks, snapping me out of my thoughts. "Nothing, i'm fine" I reply not wanting to worry her. "Baby, I can tell something is bothering you, please let me help" she pushes a bit hoping for a response. "I'm just nervous for tonight, it's stupid, don't worry" I say breaking eye contact and looking at the tv. "It's not stupid if it's bothering you, love. And you don't need to be nervous, I will be right by your side the entire time and so will the rest of the cast." dani reassures me. "Rationally, I know that but my brain just won't stop worrying about all the people and cameras and what if I say something wrong?" I respond.
