In Your Dreams

John's party

Stevie's POV

I'm still in shock with everything Tifani told me... yesterday at the restaurant I could see in her eyes that something was wrong, and later on I just confirmed that. It broke my heart to find out that she had her childhood stolen from her, and that she had done everything to make the people around her happy, without caring about herself. She's so strong, and that voice... I'm pretty sure it comes from Heaven.
"Steph, look at this one. Marylin Monroe wore this one to her most famous scene." She says while she stares at one of the dresses in the exhibition.
As soon as we were inside, she let go of my hand and started to walk around, looking at all the costumes and writing some things on a little notebook. She is so pretty, her curly hair and her green eyes make me wanna hold her tight and be with her all the time... C'mon Stevie, what are you thinking? She's 18, she will not want to stay with you. Even though it felt like she wanted to kiss me in the car, but what am I thinking? I must have gotten insane. She is free and wild, she would never wanna to stay with me.
"Earth to Stevie... one quarter for your thoughts." She calls me, and I decide to enjoy the day with her, leaving the worries behind for a while.
"Nothing sunshine, I was just thinking about the party tonight. I hope we will have fun!" I can see her face changing a little and she is looking at her wrists, now covered with bracelets. "And you don't have to worry about anything..." I say grabbing her hands and taking the bracelets out "Every scar you have make you who you are, and I wouldn't change it." I say while kissing her scars. She gives me a huge hug, and my platform boots help me to be almost her height.
"You're such and angel Steph, I'm really happy that I can share these moments with you... even if we never see each other again, I will carry these moments with me forever." She holds my hands and starts to move through the outfits, and I could see  that she was having a great time. I try to focus the costumes and not think too much about her, but suddenly I realize that she did not checked in with her parents today.
"Hey Tiff, did you checked in with your family today? I don't want them to think that I'm an irresponsible person." She nods and grabs her phone, while I keep looking at the exhibition to give her some privacy. I don't know how much time has passed, but I feel her arms wrapping around my waist, and her chin on my shoulder. "My parents back in Brazil freaked out when I had to tell them that I was with you. I don't think they believe me 100% yet..." I look at her, not understanding what was happening. "I had to tell them about the panic attack, the vomit and the cuts. That's our family pact... since the day I left rehab, I have to tell them how I'm feeling, and what I did. Does not matter how bad it is, and they do the same... it makes all of us feel safer." She kisses my cheek and starts to move to the other wing, and I'm still there staring at her cute hair, and the way she Swings her hips while walking.

Tifani's POV

My parents always supported me, and when I told them that I also felt attracted to women, they just embraced me and always fought against the prejudice they knew that I would suffer.
When I called them, my dad was the first one to ask why my eyes were so bright, and why it looked like I haven't slept in days... so, after I told them the whole story, my dad was worried and my mom was freaking out. I am not sure if they believed me 100%, but I told them that I would snap some pictures from the side of the stage tonight.
I am feeling a little dizzy, it's been like this since I woke up, and the main reason is because I didn't eat anything. I know I have to, if I don't want to pass out again, so I call Stevie. " Hey Steph, I'm so sorry for annoying you, but I really think we should eat something... I haven't eaten, and I'm starting to feel a little dizzy." She goes and takes me to the restaurant inside the museum... as soon as we walk in, I can hear that people start to talk about Stevie, and I feel uncomfortable, but she seems to just not pay attention to it.
"You get used to it babe... they just like my work, and that makes me happy. But now, let's eat something, then we need to go to the Stadium." Stevie seats and starts to eat her food. She ordered a salad, and I ordered the same.
After we are done, Roy picks us up and I can see how Stevie is tired, she's fighting to keep her eyes open and my heart melts knowing that she was kept awake to take care of me, and to spend the day with me.
I pull her close and say "Lean your head on my shoulder and take a nap babe... it's going to take a while for us to get to the stadium. It's Rush hour!" She nods, taking her glasses and putting them down. She leans her head on my shoulder and puts her hand on my thigh. I shiver with her action, and start stroking her hair. After a while I can hear that she started to breathe heavily, and I know she's asleep.
"I know it's none of my business..." Roy starts to say after a while "But if you are here just to play with her, and in the end hurt her feelings, I would ask you to leave." I stare at him through the mirror and he goes on "Karen and I are always here to pick up her pieces, and it's been forever since the last time she brought someone along, like she's doing with you... so please, if she's just someone you're playing with, leave." He says that and focus on the traffic, leaving me without words... I really don't know what to say. I really feel something for her, but she's famous, super rich and older.
"Roy, I adore this woman since I can remember... She's the person that made me sure that it was okay to love whoever I wanted to, and I have a huge crush on her since then..." He smiles at me "And I will never know how to express my gratitude for you and Karen, for saving Stevie. She means a lot to me, and even though I know she will never want anything with me, I will be forever thankful for this weekend." I look down at Stevie and she's still asleep.
A few minutes later Roy says that we are almost there, and I have to start waking Stevie up (and it was a difficult job).  "Stevie, we are almost there honey. Time to wake up..." I say and start to move her hair out of her face, I keep my eyes on her lips, getting closer until I can feel them. I slowly kiss her, touching her lips for a long time, and when she lets moan out, I know she's awake, so I go back to my initial position, and my inner me is punching me in the face "she will never want to see you again." And I know it may be true, so I turn my face, staring at the window... she slowly moves her head out of my shoulder, and presses my thigh with her hand. "Than you for waking me up babe, it's been a while since I woke up like that!" She giggles and holds my hand, making me feel safe. "You're welcome Steph, I'll do that anytime." We feel Roy stop the car, and I'm expecting for her to let go of my hand, but she never does that.
"Alright ladies, here we are. Have a good concert TeeDee; and remember what you told me Tifani." I nod and hug him before being dragged by Stevie. "Bye Roy, love you!" She yells while taking me into the hallway. I feel like I'm someone important, walking backstage in a Stadium holding hands with Stevie Nicks. We see Karen, and she smiles at me and keeps walking with us, taking us to Stevie's dressing room. Her dog is waiting for her, and Stevie picks her up. "Hey Lilly, mommy's back. And this pretty lady here is mommy's friend, Tifani." She talks in a really high pitched voice, and it just makes her more adorable. "She's pretty, isn't she? Do you think she would like to stay with mommy tonight?" Lily barks and Stevie continues. "After uncle John's party, mommy is taking Tifani to our hotel room baby girl... but now, mommy needs you to stay here, because mommy needs to change." She kisses Lilly and winks at me, heading to the bathroom. I'm playing with Lilly when she leaves the bathroom, and she's stunning... her hair and makeup were perfect, and she was wearing her concert dress.
