Today was the day. The day that both women had dreaded to arrive. Both not ready to say bye to each other for now. With the unspoken feelings from the day before, both women knew that the day ahead of them was going to be a rollercoaster.
Once they woke up, Danielle started packing up her suitcase. Without Stefania's knowledge, she had hidden one of her sweaters and t-shirts which so happened to be the brunette's favorites. It wasn't much but she knew it would make her the happiest. Stefania had found comfort in Danielle's clothes ever since her arrival. She especially found herself looking for that particular comfort whenever she felt anxious.
Meanwhile Stefania was finishing her secret project in the living room, having given Danielle clear instructions to not come in. She could see Danielle's mind was racing with thoughts, battling each other one by one. Stefania tried her hardest to give her the space that she needed, given this would allow Danielle to open up herself.
Any sort of relationship comes with compromises. It's important to find a balance of giving and taking and spending time together and spending time on yourself. It's about meeting each others needs but making sure you protect yourself as well.
Stefania was setting her own needs aside even when she felt the need to koala herself onto Danielle, not wanting to let go. Feeling the need to be held. To be cared for. To be loved. To be cherished. She was scared to be away from Danielle, already overthinking that her anxiety would escalate to something worse once she'd be alone.
Just before she could lose herself in her own thoughts, she felt her favorite pair of loving arms sneak around her waist. Instantly melting into her cozy embrace as she soaked up her touch. Her anxiety quickly subsiding as she felt soft and gentle lips kiss her exposed, bare shoulder. "I missed you," she admitted sweetly, turning herself around, seeking out for the blue eyes that made her feel safe and secure.
"I'm right here, my love" she replied, placing her hand on the brunette's cheek. Stroking her thumb to give her the reassurance that she needed. "I don't feel like you are," Stefania barely whispers, trying her hardest to not let her voice crack. Not wanting the emotions to get the better of her.
A frustrating sigh escaped Danielle's lips as she released the tight grip on Stefania, trailing a finger down the arm of the brunette. Kissing her softly on the lips. The only response she could think of right now was to be as close to Stefania as she possibly could. Wanting to feel and kiss every inch of her beautiful body. Breathing heavily as Danielle places her hands on Stefania's hips, moving her in the direction of the bathroom.
Danielle presses Stefania's back against the bathroom door and smirks into the kiss, pulling on the brunette's bottom lip softly with her teeth. Locking the door with a spare hand before finding her hips again. Returning to kiss those sweet lips, remembering to savour every detail. Either of them not wanting to forget the feel of each other's bodies.
Teasing the hem of the brunette's t-shirt, lifting it slowly above her head and dropping it to the tiled bathroom floor with a light thud. Kissing her exposed skin; starting from her neck to her collarbone. Danielle finding the clasp of her lacy bra and undoing it in one subtle movement. Letting it drop to the floor alongside her t-shirt.
Both now standing naked underneath the shower head with the water droplets splashing across their heated bodies. Stefania pushing Danielle against the cold wall tiles as her hands roam her figure. Grasping tightly at her thighs while placing small and delicate kisses across Danielle's full breasts. Allowing the blonde to whimper slightly underneath her delicate touch.
Danielle holds Stefania as close to her body as possible. Her thigh now tucked between Stefania's legs as the brunette takes the blonde's nipple into her mouth. Softly caressing the sensitive area with her tongue, biting gently down on the nub. Making sure to give the other nipple attention by using her fingertips and pinching softly. Rolling it between her fingertips.
Stefania grinds herself down onto Danielle's thigh. Rocking back and forth as her arousal grows. Both of their moans filling the room like the steam from the shower fogging the windows. Stefania glides her hand across the stomach of the blonde, pushing down until reaching her folds. Already wet with arousal, Stefania rubs Danielle's clit softly in circles.
Danielle moans into Stefania's shoulder. Scratching delicate patterns on her back to steady the sensual sensations between her legs. "Oh fuck, Stef..." The blonde moans louder as Stefania's finger teases her entrance. Arching her back forward in response. The brunette doesn't hesitate, her middle finger glides in and out of the blonde, curling her fingertip when reaching for that soft spot inside of her.
"Hmm, you like that, baby girl?" Stefania whispers into her ear seductively. Her thick Italian accent making the blonde's knees weak. A few seconds later and Danielle becomes undone, reaching her climax while Stefania continues to rub her clit, allowing the blonde to finish and come down from her high. Kissing her lips again.
Neither of them said much more to each other after climaxing. Continuing their shower in a content silence, using the soap to clean each other's bodies and then rinsing off with water. Their actions sweet and loving towards one another.
After having dried each other off lovingly, with care in each stroke of the towel, they ended up back in bed. Curled up together, morphing into one as they held each other so tightly that one would think they would suffocate. The sudden need to be in each others arms and presence.
"Stef?" the comfort and sense of home that Danielle felt in the warm embrace of her gorgeous girlfriend, made her want to open up. She did not want to leave on a bad note. With unspoken feelings and tension. "Yes, bambina?" she responded, stroking the blonde's hair. Sensing the blonde's tense up, wanting to give her the reassurance that she needed.
"I- I, just- I," struggling to word her feelings and emotions, making her stutter. "It's okay bambina, take your time," Stefania reassured. She nuzzled her face further in the brunette's neck as much as was possible.
Danielle took a deep breath before starting; filling up her lungs with oxygen, "My emotions are so overwhelming. I am so tired. I am in constant battle with myself," Danielle said despondently, her blue eyes watery and cheeks tear-stained. A silence fell between the two women as Danielle tried to gather her incoherent thoughts.
"I'm scared," she admitted finally. Stefania raised her eyebrow, "Scared of what?" she asked softly. Trying to cover up her slight confusion. Danielle held onto Stefania tightly, the neediness of a sense of comfort growing more and more. "I am an overthinker. You know that. Right?"
Stefania hummed, indicating she agreed. "I need you to know that I trust you and that I do not have any doubts about you and your love for me," she paused, allowing Stefania to respond. The confusion of the brunette growing, feeling her stomach somewhat turn. Where is this going? Is she going to breakup with me? Stefania thought erratically.
"Okay," she softly said, opting to make tiny braids in Danielle's hair to keep herself calm and steady. "Seeing you with Leco yesterday, triggered so many insecurities in me that I didn't know I had,"
"Leco? What insecurities? Talk to me Dani," Stefania said. Her frustration growing, not being able to understand and see where this was going. She moved herself up, sitting against the headboard of the bed. She looked up at the ceiling, feeling Danielle shift around.
The brunette was soon met with the gentle hands of Danielle, gently holding her face. Danielle now sitting cross legged in front of her. Their noses barely touching. "I know Leco is your best friend. I know you love him dearly as a friend. I just think he loves you more than a friend," she whispered the last part. Scared of her girlfriends reaction.
Stefania did not know whether to laugh, whether to feel annoyed or whether to feel sympathy for the beautiful woman in front of her. She couldn't help but smirk. "Don't laugh at me," Danielle pouted, moving her head back, her arms dropping in her own lap.
"Bella, I am not laughing at you. I just don't see what you see and I am just confused and surprised," she tried to comfort the vulnerable woman in front of her. Danielle sighed, fidgeting with her fingers. She knew Stefania meant no harm but she couldn't help her sensitivity at the moment.
She felt her hands being untangled by the Italian as their hands now interlace with love. Butterflies making an appearance as she heard the loving words, "Don't get lost amore mio, look at my eyes,"
Blue eyes felt compelled to look up, drawn to those chocolate brown eyes. An immediate sense of calmness flooding over her. The calmness allowing her to continue, "The fact that you're completely oblivious to people around you having feelings for you scares me tremendously,"
"Scares you how Danielle?" Stefania brought her hand to her face, putting loose strands of hair behind her ear. The blonde couldn't help but chuckle at the unawareness and innocence of her girlfriend.
"Stefania," Danielle threw her head back, slightly laughing. "You are a literal Italian goddess who isn't only a goddess on the outside but one on the inside too. You are the dream woman for everyone, men and women. You are perfectly imperfect Stefania,"
The blonde's eyes welled up with tears. A sense of relief hitting her as she finally released all of her emotions. "Danielle, come here," she opened her arms for her to crawl into. Having the urge to protect her bambina. To shower her with love and affection. Wanting her to feel confident.
Danielle curled up into a fetus like position, letting herself be vulnerable and held. "I can sense your insecurities and I don't know how to take them away. The only thing I can promise you Danielle, is that you are the only one I want,"
The brunette continued, "Look at me bambina," Stefania said. The only person I want to wake up with is you. The swarm of butterflies that appear every time I even think of you is pazza," Danielle furrowed her brows in bafflement.
"You're cute," Stefania chuckled, earning a small smile from the blonde. "Crazy, bambina. You make me feel crazy. You do crazy things to me," Danielle could see a twinkle in the chocolate brown eyes. I am so in love with you, Danielle thought to herself. "You make me crazy too Stefania,"
Their lips briefly met for a sweet kiss that both women craved. "I don't know what to tell you about Leco. All I know is that he is my best friend and he will always be. He has never made a move on me and he never will. There's too much respect between us," Stefania truthfully said.
"You are my present and my future Danielle. It's always been you and it always will be you," she lovingly finished. The blonde beaming of love, having been reassured enough. Those words were even better than she could've imagined.
Danielle brushed her nose against Stefania's, closing her eyes as she let the words sink in. "Thank you for being so patient with me baby," she genuinely said. "You have the most kindest and loving heart. Thank you," she whispered as she closed the gap between them.
The kiss loving and deepening by the second. Their tongues dancing together in harmony. Hands lovingly roaming, exploring each other's bodies. No special reason except for the desire to remember each touch. The caressing of each other's skin filled with tenderness and affection.
Before both woman realized, time flew by. Their endless cuddles, kisses and playing of the hair soon came to a halt. These moments reminded them of how a day needed more hours. How precious time was. Both captivated by each other's presence. Time standing still.
It was time to say goodbye.
