Chapter 9

Steffie POV

I arrived at the airport, I was finally on American ground, I had a short stop in Atlanta, but now I'm here to stay, for a while at least. I get lost a few times, because I don't like to follow the crowds, it scares me and well I'm not a sheep. Eventually I find my suitcases and the exit, where she's standing. Immediately a smile creeps on my face and I start to run towards her. Just a second before I reach her, I notice she's scared, for a moment I forgot she hates physical contact. Whoops? I halt in front of her, mumbling out a hi. Wow first meeting is going great. I hold my hand up signalling for her to wait for a minute and close my eyes for a moment. I take in a deep breath, open my eyes again and smile even wider. "Hi, I'm Stephanie, but as you already know, everyone calls me Steffie." I hold my hand out for her to shake, because I'm not sure she's ready for a hug or not. To my surprise she ignores my hand and hugs me. My smile got even wider, if that's even possible. When we pull back we both have tears in our eyes. "I thought you'd never arrive" she tells me, while I wipe away her tears. "I told you we'd meet one day. Here I am" I took my suitcase in one hand, her hand in the other and searched for the exit again. "Where em, where do we go now?" I asked nervously, I don't really like new places, I have to know where I am so I can run away if necessary.

"This way, m'lady" she jokes, trying to mock my accent. "Hey, that's not nice, you know I'm not American like you are. By the way, I have to tell you soooo much about the concert, I was just too emotional afterwards" "There's more?!" she asked, faking annoyance. "Yes, I've told you only what happened before and during the concert. The important things happened after concert" "Oh my God! Did you kiss? Who am I kidding if you kissed her you've made out with her, no way you can just kiss her" she interrupted me, while I was just giggling at her enthusiasm admiring her features. When suddenly she snaps her fingers in front of my face. "HELLOOHOO, Earth to Steffie, are you still there?" Whoops I zoned out, what can I say, she's so beautiful. "Em eh, yeah I'm here, sorry I zoned out." "Obviously.. Come on, my mom's here, we're going home. Well my home that is"

We got in her car driving to her home, I was freaking out a bit, since I don't know anything here. I think MacKenzie noticed because she took my hand and squeezed it reassuringly, but let go when her mum looked at her. "So how long are you staying here?" Her mum asked. "Well I em, I thought of staying a few weeks here, but I want to move after a few years to New York or maybe Los Angeles, it depends on where I can get a job." "What's it you do?" "Applied psychology, it's so I can become psychological consultant in a school or so to help children with study problems or with anxiety and such" "You hear that MacKenzie? Maybe she can help you with your problems"

I saw MacKenzie roll her eyes "Mom! She doesn't have to help me, I'm fine on my own" I squeezed her hand, whispering "It's fine" continuing on a normal tone "I'd love to help your daughter, miss em.." Shit I don't even know her name. I don't think she got the hint, but it didn't matter, because apparently we arrived at their home, which would be my home for the rest of I don't know how long yet.

I'm really excited, but I'm not sure about where I'm going to sleep yet. "Where can I drop my suitcases?" "If it's okay for you, you can sleep in MacKenzie's room. We've put in a spare bed, hope you'll like it" The older woman answered "Yes of course thank you" I answer, while following MacKenzie to her room. "I love it" I drop my bags close to the bed and faceplant in it. "Need some rest? Because I get it after your trip, you might be tired" I got nervous when she asked that because I hate sleeping alone, especially in unknown places. "Em yeah, but on one condition..." I said getting even more nervous. "Okay?" She looked at me a little confused. "Well... Will you stay in here with me?" She looked at her nails and bit her lip nervously. "Sure I'll tell my mom." She gave me a quick glance and smile before she left the room.

While MacKenzie was gone I decided to change into my pj's. I closed the door and took off my shirt, but kept my bra on... I think it would just be kind of awkward if I didn't have my bra on. I felt a breeze and turned around to see what it was. MacKenzie was standing there... "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry.. I'll um. I-I'll let you finish." She turned around and closed the door and I was just standing there. In shock. What just happened? She just saw me without a shirt. What will she think... She probably thinks I'm ugly and fat. I mean she probably always has thought that, but now what else would she think?

I finish putting my clothes on, and open the door to let MacKenzie in. She looks up and her eyes meet mine. "Hey stranger." I say to try and lighten the mood. She just smiles and hugs me... Wait what? "Kenz? What are you doing?" She looks at me and smiles. "I've always made it a goal to hug the most beautiful girl ever, and that was Demi, but I changed my mind and decided you were the most beautiful girl ever... So I'm hugging you." I was shocked so I just hugged her back, "Lets get you to bed." She paused for a second and looked at me in the eyes, "babe" she said with a smirk and then winked at me... I'm sure my face was as red as a tomato.

The younger one closed the door behind her and layed down in my bed. "So I guess I'll sleep in your bed?" I asked. She just smiled and patted the empty space next to her, "No we can cuddle." I hessitated at first then I made the decision to lay down next to her and cuddled in. She wanted to be the big spoon and I had no energy to argue so I just let myself drift of into a deep sleep... Probably the deepest sleep I've had since I was a little kid.
