Melania nervously shifted in her seat, as she waited for the debate to begin. The room slowly started getting fuller, mostly with reporters and journalists. Since this is such an important debate everyone wanted to write about it. There were dozens of eyes on the stage, all waiting for the candidates. In about 2 minutes they would walk on stage and start debating. Melania was slightly worried, Donald didnt have a plan yet, and truthfully he was never really prepared. Thats what came with his giant ego. Kamala, on the other hand always seemed so prepared, and Melania had no doubt she'd be ready. And then again she couldnt stop thinking about the Interaction they had in the bathroom. The Vice-President seemed so kind, and there was this look in her eyes. She couldnt quite get behind why she acted that way. Wasnt she supposed to hate her? Melania always imagined she would be the last person Kamala wanted to talk to, but she was so genuite, the way she laughed sounded real. A smile crept onto Melanias face as the thought about her. This whole Situation confused her. If only she could figure out what if was about Kamala that kept drawing her in.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm very excidet to welcome you to this years presidential debate! For the Republicans, please give a round of applause for former US President Donald Trump!" As her husband walked out on Stage Melania applauded, very careful to show her full support. She had to avoid Donald getting mad at her again at all cost. He had this big grin on his face, so confident of his win. How could someone possibly be this ignorant? He should be nervous, because she very much doubted that he had come up with a good stradegy in the last 30 minutes. "Now for the Democrats, Vice-President Kamala Harris!" The moment Kamala walked on Stage Melania only had eyes for her. The way she moved, her soft brown hair flowing just the right way, she shimmer in her eyes and that soft smile on her lips. Melania couldnt help but be completely charmed by the other woman. She would have almost applauded too, but she just couldnt. Trumps wife openly supporting a democrat would have ruined her husbands whole campaign. Just as she thought the moderator would start talking again Kamala did something that shocked everyone in the room - she walked up to Donald and held out her hand to him, a challenging grin on her face. Donald shook her hand quickly before turning away from her once again.
It had been a bold move on Kamalas part, as Donald always did his best to ignore his opponent. He didnt look at her once the last time they met, and forcing him to shake her hand publicly showed her power. Melania let out a silent gasp, she had not expected Kamala to be that confident. As both of the candidates walked up to their podiums and the debate began, the former first lady found herself hanging on to Kamalas every word. Listening to her talk was so incredibly intense, the passion with which she spoke and the way her hands moved had Melania completely mesmerized once again. It was like someone put a spell on her. Donald on the other hand did even worse then Melania imagined, and in some moments she felt utterly embarrassed to be married to him. "In Springfield they're the dogs, they're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there. And that is what's happening to our country" Melania couldnt help but shake her head when her husband said that, even she couldnt believe he'd stoop that low. Kamalas soft laugh made her shiver slightly, the other woman just seemed amused by Donalds lack of arguments. She knew exactly what she was doing, just like Melania predicted. As she started talking again the former first lady started listening again, a soft smile on her face.
"This...former President" Kamalas struggle to find a word to describe Donald with made Melania chuckle quietly. Thats when she felt Kamalas eyes on her, it was clear the Vice-President had noticed. Kamala had a small grin on her face as she continued talking, leaving Melania flustered for the second time today. Luckly, Donald hadnt noticed. So many more times that evening Harris made Melania smile, she cleary had the upper hand and Donald only made more of a fool out of himself. Running again hadnt been a good idea, Melania tried to tell him that but we wouldnt listen. The worst thing about the whole debate is how full of himself Donald was. Kamala also had to remind him multiple times that he wasnt running against Biden anymore, he was so incredibly fixated on him. Melania had to endure Donald talking about him non-stop these past 4 years. His obsession with Biden seemed a bit creepy to Melania, he always wanted to know his next move, have as much contact with him as possible and talked about him for hours. Maybe if he took Kamala this serious he'd have a better chance at actually winning
After the debate Melania found herself keeping her distance from Donald. She wandered through the empty hallway of the building, deep in her thoughts. The moment her eyes met Kamalas still haunted her, Kamalas amused expression was the only thing she could think of. Although the debate did not end well for Donald Melania had still enjoyed it. She wouldnt be caught dead saying it, but she wished she could hear Kamala speak more often. "Hello again, Mrs. Trump. Could I have a word for a minute?" Melania shiverd slightly as she heard Kamalas voice from behind her. The former first lady turned around to see Harris standing there, her arms crossed, with that charming grin she loved so much on her face. That alone made Melanias knees weak. "Sure. What is is you want to talk about, Vice-President?" "I would like to thank you for your attention today" Kamala said in an almost soft tone. "You spoke well" was the only thing Melania could reply, her mind was racing. Usually she always knew how to stay calm, but the gorgeous woman took her breath away. "You are an interesting woman, Mrs Trump" Kamala smirked. "I could say the same about you" that made Kamala chuckle. "It is very pleasant to talk to you" Harris took Melanias hand. Her breath hitched at the touch. She knew this wasnt right, that she shouldnt be talking to her but the second Kamala smiled nothing else matters.
The two women looked at each other in silence for what felt like an eternity, before Kamala softly squeezed Melanias Hand "I would love to see you at my next rally" she almost whispered, before dropping Melanias hand and continuing to make her way down the hallway. It took Melania a second to process what just happened. Did Kamala Harris, her husbands opponent, just invite her to her next rally? Where they really that close? And why was she so found of the idea of seeing Kamala again?
