She wasn't sure where she would be able to put her clothes so she decided to wait until she could ask Stefania about it.

She decided that she would take the opportunity to test out the bath in the en-suite. She filled it up creating a bubbly paradise to relax in. After about 20 minutes she received a text from the Italian sat downstairs.

SS: are you ok Bella, you've been upstairs for a while? X
DS: I'm more than ok 😏

SS: I'm glad you're making yourself at home. I want you to be comfortable here 😘
DS: I'll head downstairs in a little while. I'll make a coffee. Would you guys like one too?
SS: no I think we're all good for coffee but you could grab us some bottles of water from the fridge if you didn't mind?x
DS: of course. Give me 10 minutes 🤍

Danielle got out the bath and dried off pulling on the Italy shirt and the fresh joggers. She arrived in the kitchen and made a latte on Stefania's coffee machine. She grabbed 6 bottles of water from the fridge and walked to the conference room door. She knocked, not wanting to just walk in but heard Stefania's voice coming from inside. "Danielle, you don't need to knock. You can come in" "sorry, I wasn't sure if you were on a call or anything." Danielle said as she entered. "I brought water for you." She said as she placed the bottles on the table. "Thank you Bambina" "here Dani, have a seat" Kevin said sliding a chair out for her. "Oh, no you're fine. I've got a latte in the kitchen waiting for me. Thank you though" she smiled as she exited the room again. She grabbed her phone and stood leaning against the counter scrolling through Instagram on her phone. She lifted her gaze as she saw Stefania walk through the door. "You look good in that football shirt you know" Stefania said biting her lip. "In fact, I think you look better in it than I do" "ha, I find that hard to believe" Danielle replied raising one eyebrow at the brunette. "I came to tell you though that you don't have to stay out here on your own. You can come and join us in the conference room. You're part of the team now too." "Hmmm, I may be part of the team but I'm not part of the business team. I'm just the pilot" danielle smiled looking back at her phone. "Bella! No! You're so much more than JUST the pilot. You're a very important person you know" Stefania said walking towards Danielle and wrapping her arms around her. She wrapped the blonde in a tight embrace and kissed her on the temple. They stood there just breathing in each other's scent and enjoying the moment until Stefania spoke again.

"Danielle?" "Stefania?" "Would you like to go on a date with me?" Danielle pulled away from the brunette slightly so she could look in to the hazelnut eyes that she had come to adore. With a big smile spreading on her face she said "yes Stefania, I would love to go on a date with you" and she connected their lips in a soft and tender kiss. "Ok, so do you want to go tonight? Or tomorrow?" Stefania asked. "Hmmm, let's do it tomorrow. That will give me time to go shopping for some new clothes to wear." Danielle winked at the Italian as she gave her another kiss. "That's perfect. We can just spend tonight here together then?" "Of course we can" "ok, I need to go back as I have another call in 5 minutes. You can come in too if you want?" Stefania asked Danielle rubbing her hands up and down the blonde's arms. "Well I was thinking I'd maybe go for a run... I've not had one in a couple of days and I'm feeling it. I feel gross!" "Trust me Bambina. You are far from gross! But you're more than welcome to unwind in the hot tub when you come back. Here take this" Stefania said handing Danielle a swipe key for the gate at the bottom of the drive. "Thank you Baby. I'll see you in a bit" Danielle said jogging upstairs to grab her running gear.
