What if we kissed?

16. The Stalker (part two)

They took the plane at 8:30pm from Denver to LA. Stana wasn't able to sleep through the whole flight because she was so nervous about that guy, wich had followed them all the way from the coffeehouse to the airport. So when they got to Nathan's car she was very, very tired. Nathan told Peter, Rada and Stana to get into his Mercedes while he loaded their luggage into its trunk. After only 15 minutes Stana was fast asleep on the front passenger seat and when she was shaking a bit because it was already pretty cold outside Nathan immediately pulled off his jacket and placed it on top of her. As soon as he did Stana snuggled closer into the warm material that was smelling so familiar to her. An hour later they finally arrived at Nathan's place after a completely silent drive. Stana still sleeping deeply with her head on the pillow Nathan had put under her head as they had to stop because of a red traffic light. He didn't want to wake her up so he just carefully lifted her up into his strong arms carrying her inside. Stana's parents wached him skeptically still not sure if they could really trust him to be with their daughter. Nathan didn't care about them. He carefully carried Stana to their bedroom and laid her down. He pulled of her shoes and clothes so she could sleep in her underwear like she always did. As he wanted to cover her up with a big warm blanket she mumbled something and slightly opened her eyes. „Hey sweetie. It's alright. We're home now just sleep for a little while longer. I love you." He said and she mumbled something that sounded like a „I love you too." Then Stana was back in the land of dreams. Nathan softley kissed her forehead before he got out to show her parents the guest room and get the luggage out of the car. Then he changed into some pjs and laid down next to Stana snuggling close to her.

The next morning Stana woke up to the smell of fresh coffee and pancakes. She stood up, wrapped herself in a robe and walked out into the kitchen. Without him noticing Stana walked behind her fiancé and wrapped her arms around him. "Good morning handsome boy." She said with a still sleepy voice. "Good morning sweetheart. I thoght you wanted to sleep longer today." Nathan turened around and hugged her softly. They kissed with closed eyes and Stana smiled. "No, I missed you too much when you stood up."She got back a bit. "I made you a special breakfast." "Okay...?" She asked a bit confused. Stana sat down at the kitchen table and Nathan placed a plate infront of her. On the plate there was a huge tower of fresh pancakes with cream, honey and berries plus a hot cup of coffee. "Oh god thank you... How do you cook those? When I make them they don't taste so good." Nathan gave her an evil smirk. "If I told you, you probably wouldn't need me anymore." Stana smiled from ear to ear. "I'll always need you. You're my life." They kissed again. "Good morning Stana!" Rada shouted towards her daughter. "Morning mum." They hugged for a short moment. "Where's dad?" Stana asked her mother with confusion. "He's still sleeping. Not everyone cookes you a yummy breakfast just like that." Rada sighed with a look at the full plate infront of Stana. Then an alarm went off on Stana's phone. "We should go now. Or we'll be late for our work day." Stana said and got up. She didn't need long to get dresses into a pair of white jeans, a rose-gold colored t-shirt, a white jacket and a pair of white heels. She brushed her hair, put on some make-up and got back to the kitchen. Her Mum was eating the pancakes Nathan had prepared for her. "You ready?" She asked him. "Just waiting for you." Nate answered her. Stana gave her mum a big hug then got her keys and purse and headed towards her car with Nathan behind her. They didn't use the same car, as always, so there wouldn't be any suspicious looks at the set. "You're nervous, aren't you?" Nathan asked before they got inside their cars. "Yeah, maybe a little bit ." Stana looked down at her feet. "Hey, it's going to be alright. Okay? I know we can do this together." He softley cupped her cheek with his hand. "It's ok if our friends find out about our relationship. Either they are happy for us or they aren't our real friends. And if we get fired that doesn't matter. We still have us and I'm sure ABC won't fire us. We still bring them a lot of money." Stana slightly nodded and looked into his ocean blue eyes. They were so full of warmth and love she could have melted. "Okay. Let's do this." Stana said and took a last look at her engagement ring before she kissed Nathan and got into her car. But as she drove out of her parking lot the guy behind her car was a bit too familiar.

Twenty minutes later at the set
"Hi Stana!" Tamala ran over to her friend and hugged her. "Hey Tam." Stana said with a sweet smile on her lips. "How was your sisters wedding?" The latino woman asked her best friend. "Beautiful and... blue..." She sighed. "Oh god... that must have killed your mum!.!" Tam was a bit shocked because Stana often told her how her mother wanted her daughters having a wedding in white. "Yeah... at least almost. She's here now." "Oh, okay... will you at least have a white wedding?" "What? Why are you asking me that?" "Oh come on girl! That ring of yours can't be overseen." Stana looked at her feet once again and when she looked up again she froze instead of saying anything else to her friend.
