A Soft Touch Far Away - (Stefanielle fanfic)

CLOSER

Danielle's POV :

"Alright everyone ! Can I have your attention for the next information ?"

The crowd of actors, producers and every crew member went silent.

"Next week we are shooting on location. We will be traveling to a desert in California so it will be very hot, be prepared."

"Crew members except hair and makeup will arrive on Saturday to prepare the props and backgrounds, and everyone else will be welcomed at the hotel on Sunday evening."

"Minors will have to be accompanied by a legal guardian or a chaperone." She added, eyeing the few kids and teenagers on the team.

Most of them were guest actors and actresses or extras so their parents were already there.

I looked at Charlotte who was chewing anxiously her bottom lip.

"We will stay around a week but it is possible that we may stay the next week-end as well, depending on the weather or problems that may occur."

We all nodded and they dismissed us.

"Do you have a scene right now ?" Stefania asked me.

"No, I have one at the end of the day." I smiled back.

Stefania grinned and leaned, her mouth close to my ear.

"Join me in my trailer ? I have to show you something." She whispered.

My stomach filled with butterflies and I looked down as I felt my cheeks blushing.

"Come on." She said, taking my hand in hers.

We skipped to her trailer like teenagers and I sat on the small sofa.

"What did you want to show me ?"

"Here."

She set her laptop on the table and clicked on a file.

"That's the first shots for my short film. I wanted to share them with you."

I knew how her short was important to her so I felt emotional that she trusted me enough to show me what she had filmed back in Italy.

"Go ahead." I said when she hesitantly hovered over the start button.

She pressed play.

Scenes of magnificent landscapes appeared on the screen.

After a few dialogues and some family shots, she stopped.

"I know that's not a lot for now, it's just the beginning and-"

"Shush, it's marvelous. I already love it."

"Yeah ?"

"Yes. I wouldn't tell you that if I didn't believe it."

"It's very promising."

"I can't wait to see the final result."

Stefania's eyes lit up and she sat closer to me.

She put her arms around my waist.

"Thank you. It means a lot to me."

"I know."

"It means a lot to me too."

We stayed comfortably in each other embrace when I caught a glance of the time.

"I need to go, I'm filming in fifteen."

"I think I will go home."

"So we won't see each other until next Sunday ?" I pouted.

Stefania thought about it for a second.
