Secret Love

Talk to me.Xx

Back to the current day 2012. 

Stevie holds Sari's hand, as they walk to her car. '' You know, I'm glad you helped me to remember that night. Because that was such a special night for me, and I'm sorry I didn't remember. I am so, so sorry Sari.'' Sari shrugs it off '' it's fine, you've probably met many adorable little girls. Why would I stand out?''. She pats Sari's hand '' because you had the best little costume I have ever seen, and you meant something to me'' the last part grabs Sari's attention, she stops walking and confides in Stevie. '' I've uh been listening to your music more lately, see I've been through a lot, a hell of a lot these past ten years. My mom committed suicide three years ago after my step dad ran off with another woman, she lost her mind when my dad died. And a year ago I found out that I was adopted'' Stevie starts stroking her back realizing the girl is near tears. But what's worse is to hear that, the happy family that she thought Sari's been apart of all these years, has fallen apart. Sari shakes her head. More importantly Sari was now curious about her real parents, and Stevie didn't know what to say. '' They won't let me see my records so I can't find out, something about my birth parents wanting to talk to me before I talk to them but still...are they that unappreciative of me?'' Stevie tries not cry, instead she brings Sari in for a hug. Mind you Sari is practically hunching to get to Stevie's level. Stevie fails at trying to shield her emotions, her voice in a small whisper loud enough for only Sari to hear. 

'' Don't you dare say that. Don't you dare think that you're worth is nothing, because your life means more than the whole universe to your real parents. They're protecting you, they love you so,so much, in fact they've always been with you, and I think you're gonna see them very, very soon.'' Stevie tries to convince Sari with a smile, the girl is feeling fragile know. The girl before with the bubbly smile and the giant grin had evaporated, a broken and confiding girl was in Stevie's arms. Stevie felt the pressure build up inside of her, '' tell her now'' she argued with herself, '' tell her''  she argued again. Instead Stevie ignores it. But a lightbulb goes off, '' Sari, I live in Santa Monica in a condo, I'm busy this week with rehearsals but next week how would you like to come over and we could chat more?'' Stevie knew it was a risky move, but she didn't want to let go of Sari so easily. Stevie even thought that through getting to know her a little more she could then know how to tell Sari that Stevie was her real mother. 

Sari wipes her tears, '' really?'' shocked at the singers invitation and thankful for her kind words. Stevie smiles and takes Sari's hand '' it would be my honour, Lindsey told me you'd be in Santa Monica for a few days next week due to some rehearsals...you could stay it would mean you wouldn't have to pay for a hotel. Sari screws her face during her train of thought '' Hell no, Stevie Nicks did not just invite me over to stay at house?'' Stevie continues '' you wouldn't be in the way, and you're a darling girl, and I'm by myself so you wouldn't be imposing.'' Sari isn't sure whether to take Stevie's offer, it was way too much for Stevie to do for her. And she's never been offered anything like it, of course she feels a little alienated. Stevie feels Sari's tension and she reassures her '' Sari, it would make me very, very happy to have your company with me in the home.'' Sari agrees '' All right then, but I, I, why are you doing this for me?'' she ask in a serious tone. Without wanting to reveal too much to her daughter Stevie simply says '' because you mean something to me, every little girl I've met does'' she smiles thinking about little baby Gemma who she met on the plane.  

Sari gives Stevie another hug, she's surprised at how strong Stevie is for her tiny frame. With that Lindsey receives a text from Karen telling him that he needs to take Stevie home now, Rod Stewart has been trying to contact her. With that Stevie lovingly embraces her daughter in another hug, the feeling is indescribable as she holds her little girl in her arms. Lindsey goes over to Sari and kisses her cheek '' Stay strong eh? and say hi to those three young men for me'' With that Lindsey takes Stevie home while Sari goes to teach some classes at her dance studio. Still thinking about her encounter, it definitely made her rethink her thoughts on Stevie in a way she felt connected with her through having a deep conversation with Stevie. She felt like a child in Lindseys arms and Stevie's embrace, almost like they we're protectors in a way...
