Marina/Stefanielle ONE-SHOTS

It was a beautiful day. The sky was covered in blue, although the temperature was still cold, since spring hadn't come yet. I had just arrived on set, after having my make-up done, and saw Danielle sitting on the big couch, as she always does, having a final look at the script.

"Hi Bella!" I greeted her with a big smile, opening my arms so she could hug me.

"Hi Beautiful! How are you?" She said, with her face buried in my neck.

"I'm good. I spent the whole weekend doing nothing and laying on the couch with Jeff." We pull ourselves apart, still not letting go of each other's hands. "You?"

"I'm great! Happy to be back, I missed you!" She replied, caressing my hand.

"Bambina, it has only been two days! But I missed you too."

I wasn't lying. We've known each other for a couple of years now, and there was this connection between us that no one could explain. I could understand what Danielle was thinking by one single look, and vice versa. I would never change it, because I loved it.

I love the feeling of having someone who loves me unconditionally.

I love having someone who knows me as if we were in each other's heads.

I love having someone I can trust, no matter what.

I love being able to be who I truly am around her and knowing she won't ever judge me.

I love how she takes care of me when I'm sick and tells me over and over that it's okay not to be strong sometimes.

I love how petty and true our friendship has become.

I love the possibility of being something more than just friends, which we've both been thinking about but won't say anything to each other.

And I hope that whatever it is that we have, it lasts forever.

"Okay girls. You're up. Ready?" A voice took me off from my thoughts.

"Yeah! Sure!" We said at the same time.

We shot the first take quickly. In this season, most of the scenes were tough, because Maya and Carina were going through a difficult time in their marriage. But hopefully, they would be able to overcome it and we would be shooting happier scenes soon.

"Perfect. We just need to do a few more takes, but you're awesome." Peter said. "You can wait in the waiting room, and we'll call you in a few minutes."

We both did as we were told and headed to the big room, sitting on the couch again. We weren't the only ones there. Barrett, Jay and Jason were chatting in a corner. But, as soon as they saw us, they came closer so we could join the conversation.

We were having a really nice time, laughing about funny things that have happened on set. However, in the meantime, Stefania's phone rang and she backed away slightly to answer.

I tried to pay attention to her in the corner of my eye, since she was looking worried when she saw who it was. However, I could only do that for a little while, before she was completely out of my sight.

She comes back a few minutes later and I can tell right away something is wrong. Her face is pale, her eyes are dark, and she's kind of curled up, trying to hide herself somehow.

"Hey guys, I'm gonna go to the bathroom really quick. If Peter asks for me, tell him I'll be right back."

"Okay, no problem, Stefania." Barrett says.
