You are always on my mind

Chapter 96

"When the actor left, she called Danielle.  Finally she'd be able to find some comfort to herself..."

"Bambina!"
"Hey my love. What is going on? We're waiting for some news for a long time..."
"I know bella. Believe me, all I wanted and needed was to be with you!"
"Baby, you're scaring me. What is going on?"

Stefania told her girlfriend everything. Danielle was really so pissed off.

"I swear for God, baby, I'm gonna kill those Motherfuckers!"
"Amore mio, please, calm down. Everything is under control, Leah's custody is already ours! We can't ruin it, you understand me?"
"Of course, beautiful.  Tell me, what do you need, babe?"
"You! Dani, you're all that I need. I need you to calm me down, otherwise my italian temper will get the better of me and I won't be able to control myself..."
"Shhhh. It's okay baby. I've got you. I'm here for you!" The blonde said hugging her girlfriend with love.
"Okay..."

After a while, the brunette was a little bit calmer, so she said:

"Bambina, I called you as a witness. All you have to do is to tell the judge all the times Stef took care of Leah when she was sick, including canceling her show to be with our little bug, because Irina preferred to leave the girl at home with her baby sitter while she was boiling with a fever to go to a party. You were with stef that day, weren't you?"

Danielle nodded.

"Good. I just need you to say the truth, but without look so angry. I mean, you can show your outrage, but you should never show yourself pissed, you understand me, amore mio?"
"Yes, baby. Don't worry."
"And I need one more favor, my love."
"Mmm, let me guess... a kiss?" The blue-eyed girl gave her girlfriend a little peck
"Aaahhhh I need more, my princess!"
"Me too! But what I need I can't have here..."

The italian smirked slyly and said:

"I'm gonna give you everything you need and want when we get back home!"
"Oh my Gosh!! It will take too long!!!" The personal trainer grumbled.

"I will make it up to you, I promisse."
"Ok."
"So, can I ask you a favor?"
"Whatever you want, my love!"
"I will also need to call Stef as a witness, to confirm your testemony. I need you to do your very best, just like I'm going to do mine so we can keep her under control."
"Okay babe. It won't be easy, you know, but we will make it happen!"
"Grazzie, amore mio!" (thank you my love!)
"It's okay, babe!"
"Io te amo, Danielle Savre!" (I love you, Danielle Savre)
"I love you too, Stefania Spampinato!"

The attorney stole a quick, but intense kiss. When they broke the kiss, the ocean-eyed girl asked:

"Baby, what is going to happen to Irina and Dixon?"
"I hope these two monsters rot in jail! But only one thing is certain: they will be arrested!"
"Great! I couldn't expect less!"
"Yeah. Now I need you to join Bradley in the mission to keep Stefani calm."
"Okay. But... is this nanny pretty?" The blonde joked.
"Oh, they say she's beautiful, very hot and that she's crazy for female italian lawyers." The hazel-eyed girl teased.
"Seriously? Well, then it seems to me that Irina and Dixon won't be the only ones to leave this court straight to jail..  I'm going with them, because I'm going to spank a nanny so that she can stay away from what is mine!"
"Hahahahahaha don't worry bambina. She's not a threat! Nobody is, I swear! I'm just teasing you." Stefania said hugging her girlfriend and pecking her lips.
"I know my love, but make sure she won't dare!"
"Amore mio, nothing like that will happen. They say she's crazy about Bradley.  Stef, take care! Hahahaha."
"Hahahaha, we'd better not say anything like that to her. 😅"
"Definitely! 😅"
"Okay baby, I'm on my way. See you soon?"
"See you bambina. I love you!"
"I love you more!"

And pecking the attorney's lips, the personal trainer left and headed straight to Gaga and Bradley.

Arriving there, she saw Gaga crying. When she crossed her gaze with her friend, he nodded, signaling he had told her the truth.

"Dani, do you already know?" The singer asked.
"Yes. And I'm really pissed! But we're going to be smart, otherwise they're going to win, you understand me?"
"But..."
"Stef, listen to me. No ifs or buts. We need to keep Leah safe, right?"
"Right!"
"So there isn't another option but being smarter than them, can you understand what I mean?"
"Yes..."
"Good. I want you to know that we're all pissed about all this shit. But now it's time for us to think about Leah. So let's trust Stef and do the right thing, okay?"
"Okay." The artist replied whispering.
"Promise?"
"Yes, I do!"
"Good girl!" The blue-eyed girl praised. "So get ready, because Stef will also call you to talk."
"Will she?"
"Yes. And you're gonna be the key witness  to prove that Irina is irresponsable, abandoning Leah. So please, don't waste everything. Stef, do everything Stefania says to do and for all that is most sacred, CONTROL YOURSELF!!! Don't let your temper or your hate for this dispicable woman and her worthless lawyer get the better of you. Leah's custody is already in our hands, babe, don't forget that. You just need to follow all of stef's instructions to go home with our little princess, okay?"
"Yes. I promise I will. For Leah I do anything!"
"Great! That's what a real mom does! I'm so proud of you!"

Danielle,  Gaga and Bradley were talking until Stefania called her friend to talk. The brunette was very careful when telling the singer what they discovered, because knowing Stefani as she did, she knew that the singer would lose everything by doing something stupid to defend Leah.

The italian was surprised by her friend's reaction, she was very centered  and focused on ensuring Leah's custody and that was really good for the case.

The hazel-eyed girl gave her friend all the instructions and finally she said once again:

"Stef, sta a te decidire se portare Leah a casa oppure no. Quindi, per il suo bene, vi quiedo: non fate nulla contro questi due figli di puttana.  Almeno non oggi, non qui, capich?" (Stef, it's up to you to take Leah  home or not. So, for her sake, I ask you: don't do anything against these two Motherfuckers. At least not today, not here, understand?)

The singer replied with great sincerity and even certain security:

"Stai calma! Prometto che non perderò il controllo, qualunque cosa faccia quel bastardo di Dixon!" (Stay calm! I promise I won't lose control, no matter what that bastard Dixon does!)
"Perfetto! So che sarà molto difficile per te, perché so quanto ami questa piccola principessa, ma quando ti prende sul serio, cosa che sappiamo che farà, guarda Leah e pensa a lei, ok?" (Perfect! I know it's going to be very difficult for you because I know how much you love this little princess,  but when he's taking you out of serious, which we know he will, look at Leah and think about her, okay?)
"Ok. Farò tutto il necessario per liberare la mia ragazza da questi due bastardi!" (I'll do whatever it takes to free my girl from these two bastards!)
"That's the spirit, Stef! I'm so proud of you!"
"This is not going to be easy, is it?"
"Unfortunately not! I wish I could say it would, but it won't.
"I'm not talking about the case, this is the easier part. The big problem will be for us to control ourselves so as not to brake those two's faces. And believe me, we'll feel that way all the time! It makes me sick just to hear their names. But for Leah, we will stand it!"
"Right. We definitely will!" Gaga said decisively.

The italian hugged her friend and told her to go out there and avoid any contact with Irina and Dixon. But before Stefani get out, the brunette said:

"Hey, you!"
"Yes?"
"You're more than ready to be Leah's mom. I'm so proud of you! Let's go there and bring out little bug home with us. Aunt Stef is gonna take her to have lots of ice creams!"

The singer smiled with teary eyes and said:

"Thank you, Stef. For everything.  You're a real angel!"

Stefania smiled and said:

"Keep strong mom! Now go there, it's gonna start!"
