Through You - Reneé Rapp

Tour

As Reneé left Natasha's apartment, Natasha couldn't shake the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside her. Her feelings for Reneé had been growing stronger with each passing day, and she knew she needed to confide in someone before they overwhelmed her completely.

With a sense of urgency, Natasha reached for her phone and dialed her best friend's number. Maya had always been there for her, a strong presence in her life through both the highs and the lows.

"Hey, girl! What's up?" Maya's cheerful voice greeted her on the other end of the line.

"Maya, I need to talk to you" Natasha said, her voice trembling with emotion.

There was a pause on the other end of the line before Maya spoke again, her tone gentle and reassuring. "Oh of course, Nats. I'm here for you. What's going on?"

Natasha took a deep breath ''Can you meet me in some time?''

Natasha sat across from her friend, Maya, in their favorite Italian restaurant, her thoughts consumed by the whirlwind of emotions that had taken hold of her heart since the last days with Reneé. With a heavy sigh, she finally broached the subject that had been weighing on her mind for weeks.

"Maya," Natasha began, her voice tinged with uncertainty, "It's about Reneé."

Maya leaned forward, concern etched on her face. "What's going on, Natasha? Did she do something? I know how famous people can be bossy'' She rolled her eyes, Maya herself already worked with some celebrities, she was a director as well.

Natasha hesitated, unsure of where to begin. She had always been open with Maya, but this felt different somehow—more vulnerable, more raw.

"No, she's treating me very well, shes very kind and... It's... I... I think I have feelings for her" Natasha confessed, her voice barely above a whisper. "More than just friends, I mean. And I don't know what to do about it."

Maya's eyes widened in surprise, but she reached out and took Natasha's hand in hers, offering silent support.

"Natasha, that's... that's a big thing," Maya said gently. "But it's also completely natural. You and Reneé have grown close, you even took her to the hospital, and it's only natural that your feelings would evolve."

Natasha nodded, a weight lifting off her shoulders as she realized that Maya understood what she was going through.

"But what if I ruin our friendship?" Natasha asked, her voice filled with fear. "What if Reneé doesn't feel the same way, and things become awkward between us? I don't want this to happen mostly during work times."

Maya squeezed Natasha's hand reassuringly. "Natasha, you'll never know unless you talk to Reneé about how you feel. And remember, no matter what happens, I'm here for you and the world doesn't end if she doesn't feel the same."

With Maya's words echoing in her mind, Natasha felt a sense of clarity wash over her. She knew that she couldn't ignore her feelings any longer—it was time to confront them head-on.

"Thank you, Maya," Natasha said, her voice filled with gratitude. "You always know exactly what to say."

As they finished their meal and said their goodbyes, Natasha felt a newfound sense of determination burning within her. With Maya's support and encouragement, she knew that she had the strength to face whatever lay ahead.

As Natasha grappled with her feelings for Reneé, her phone rang, interrupting her thoughts. It was her.

"Hey, baby" Reneé's voice came through the line, filled with excitement and anticipation. "I have some big news to share."

Natasha's heart skipped a beat, her curiosity piqued. "What is it, Reneé? You sound excited."

"I've been offered the opportunity to go on tour around the US!" Reneé exclaimed. "It's a dream come true, but I realized I don't want to do it without you."

Natasha's heart swelled with emotion at Reneé's words. "Me? What do you mean?" she asked, her voice tinged with disbelief.

"I want you to come with me as my photographer," Reneé said eagerly. "I've seen your work, Nat. You have an incredible talent for capturing moments, and I want you to be a part of this with me."

Tears welled up in Natasha's eyes as the weight of Reneé's invitation sank in. It was a chance to embark on an adventure with the person she cared about most—a chance to explore new places, meet new people, and create memories that would last a lifetime.

Without hesitation, Natasha replied, her voice filled with emotion. "Yes, Reneé. I would love to go on tour with you. Thank you for including me in this incredible opportunity."

As they hung up the phone, Natasha felt a sense of excitement coursing through her veins. This was a chance to not only pursue her passion for photography but also to strengthen her bond with Reneé in ways she had never imagined possible.
