"What do you want for your birthday?" Lizzie asks as she twirls homemade pasta onto her fork. Stella sat opposite her at the dining table, enjoying Lizzie's amazing cooking like always.
"To dye your hair," Stella gave the blonde a cheeky grin, surprise flashing at Lizzie's request.
"Is the blonde not doing it for you anymore?" Lizzie chuckled, taking a sip of red wine from her delicate glass.
"Don't get me wrong, no matter what hair you have you always seem to pull it off effortlessly. And the blonde makes you look hot, but the brown is adorable." Stella shrugged and a wide grin played on Lizzie's lips as she nodded playfully.
"You can dye my hair, baby, if that's what you want," Lizzie smirked to herself before taking a bite of pasta. "But I want to dye yours,"
"Please don't say pink or green," Stella said softly and Lizzie giggled to herself.
"How about your natural brown at the roots, and we bleach the ends so it's like an ombré?" Lizzie hummed, gesturing to her hair to demonstrate her vision.
"So we are swapping colors?" Stella chuckled, nodding in agreement as she never really cared for her hair that much.
"Indeed we are. I'll ask my 'Love and Death' manager if I need to do any reshoots with my hair like this, and if not then I'm all for it," Lizzie winked playfully, sitting back in her chair as she finished eating first, Stella not far off her.
—
Lizzie emerged from the bathroom, gracefully pulling a shirt over her head. Her blonde hair cascaded in gentle waves, casting a soft halo around her. Stella, still blinking the sleep from her eyes, greeted the vision of her in the morning light.
"Good morning, sweetheart," Lizzie's voice was as gentle as her smile. Stella felt a warmth bloom in her chest at the sight of her. She admired Lizzie, dressed in a stylish yellow suit with a black shirt and elegant heels, a striking combination that accentuated her natural beauty. (Refer To Chapter Picture)
Stella stifled a yawn and quickly sat up in bed. "When do we leave?" She inquired, her voice tinged with morning grogginess. Her legs were comfortably crossed amidst the mountains of warm blankets.
"In about 15 minutes," Lizzie replied, her chuckle adding to the morning's charm. She'd mentioned her upcoming interview for "Love and Death" press the previous night.
"Alright, I'll be ready in 10," Stella declared, her usual morning drowsiness giving way to a newfound energy. She sprang out of bed, only to find herself wrapped in Lizzie's warm embrace. Stella laughed as she struggled to break free, "Liz!"
Lizzie's light-hearted teasing filled the air, her arms enveloping Stella as the brunette attempted to rush past and slip into her clothes. "I already laid out an outfit for you, I knew you'd be tempted to make me late," Lizzie said, her eyes sparkling with affection.
Stella's eyes twinkled as her heart swelled with gratitude, "This is why I love you, Olsen." She leaned in, her lips meeting Lizzie's for a tender, morning kiss before reluctantly pulling away to get dressed.
Stella quickly slipped into a charming yellow summer dress, taking note of the surprising but delightful fact that it matched Lizzie's outfit. The dress was adorned with playful white polka dots, its hem grazing her ankles elegantly as she stepped into open-toe heels.
Stella accepted the morning challenge, even if it meant a race against the clock to apply her makeup in under 10 minutes. Life was more exciting with a touch of spontaneity, after all.
As she descended the stairs in her flowing dress, the warm morning sun cascaded through the window, casting a radiant glow on her. Lizzie stood at the bottom of the stairs, watching with a sense of awe and admiration. Stella's natural beauty never ceases to amaze her. God, she was stunning.
Lizzie called out from the bottom of the stairs, her watch ticking away the precious minutes. She hastily checked the time and stowed her phone in her purse as Stella descended.
"Stell! We are late," Lizzie called, barely able to contain her smile. The sight of her girlfriend descending the stairs in a rush was breathtaking. Luna wiggled on her leash as Lizzie had harnessed her up to come with them today.
"I'm ready, don't get your knickers in a twist," Stella teased playfully as she rushed past Lizzie, not without giving Luna a quick pat, whose smile couldn't have been wider. Stella grabbed her phone, deciding to leave her bag at home; she didn't need anything else. "Is it hot out yet?" Stella asked as they headed toward the garage.
"Yeah, it is," Lizzie replied, her nod accompanied by a quick, affectionate kiss. With Lizzie behind the wheel, they pulled out of the garage. "You look amazing, El," she complimented, her eyes remaining on the road. Luna sat in the backseat, her head out the window with a huge smile as she panted.
Stella blushed at the compliment and held Lizzie's hand, planting a loving kiss on the back of it. "And you are so much more beautiful."
Lizzie chuckled, her smile still radiant, and teased, "Okay, charmer." Her attention focused on the road as she followed her navigation to the studio.
When they arrived, it was Lizzie's turn to be pampered. Stella sat in the background, feeling a bit like a lost puppy in the bustling studio. Lizzie swiftly had her makeup and hair done professionally, preparing for her shoot. Stella mostly played with her small companion next to her, the husky not failing to make the German smile effortlessly.
"What will you be doing today?" Stella asked, her curiosity piqued as she observed the studio set. It was different from the typical sit-down-and-talk scene.
"Remember when we played with puppies?" Lizzie inquired, and Stella nodded, her eyes instantly lighting up at the memory. "Well, today it's the same."
"Nawww!" Stella gasped, her excitement undeniable. She looked around, hoping to catch a glimpse of the adorable puppies. "Lun will be upset since she won't get to play with them,"
"I'm not exactly an animal person, so I wish you could take my place," Lizzie admitted in a hushed tone to ensure no one overheard. She knew how much Stella adored all things fluffy; she was a true animal lover. "At least you will have a pup of your own to cuddle," The blonde leaned down to pat Luna. Lizzie was fine with the occasional dog or puppy that was her own to love, but it was often overwhelming when it came to an entire litter of chaotic pups.
"Oh me too," Stella giggled, sitting down on a chair that said 'Olsen' on the back of it. Lizzie gasped dramatically and pulled Stella off of her chair, sitting down instead. "No way you just did that!" The German laughed and Lizzie smiled, giving in and pulling Stella to sit on her lap.
"You can sit here while I do the interview; it might take an hour," Lizzie whispered into Stella's ear. Stella smiled, taking Lizzie's hands that were wrapped around her and toying with some of her rings.
"This will be fun," Stella replied, her eyes sparkling with excitement. She observed the crew bustling around, preparing the set with lights and cameras.
"Hopefully," Lizzie mused, resting her chin on Stella's shoulder. The couple's closeness didn't go unnoticed by the crew. A woman on the set noticed their genuine affection and couldn't help but smile. She motioned to the photographer and pointed toward the loving couple and their dog. The photographer quickly captured a series of candid shots that radiated the warmth of their connection.
"Elizabeth," someone called out, interrupting their sweet moment. Stella reluctantly stood from Lizzie's lap. "Can we please get you in position?"
"Of course," Lizzie nodded and made her way to the set. It featured a plain pink background with boxes lining the sides to prevent the playful kittens from wandering off. Lizzie allowed the hair stylist to make a few quick adjustments to her hair before the cameras started rolling.
Lizzie's introduction was greeted with warm smiles from the crew as they set the stage for her playful encounter with the puppies. As the enclosure was filled with a litter of 8-week-old puppies, Lizzie couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and nervousness.
"Hi, I'm Elizabeth Olsen, and I'm here with Buzzfeed to play with puppies," she introduced herself, her voice warm and friendly. She looked around the set, her eyes reflecting a hint of anxiety as she watched the crew prepare the puppies. Despite her slight apprehension, a soft smile graced her lips.
The puppies seemed to sense Lizzie's affectionate energy as they bounded over to her with their tiny tails wagging. Playfully, they nipped at her shoelaces and wiggled around her feet, delighted to have a new friend. Lizzie couldn't help but laugh as their irresistible cuteness worked its charm on her. "Are you much of a dog or cat person?" A woman with jet black hair and green eyes asked softly, shy in the presence of the famous blonde actress.
"More of a dog person, but I've never had a cat to compare. My sisters got my girlfriend and me a husky puppy a few weeks ago and I couldn't love her more." Lizzie answered honestly and smiled as a puppy climbed over her lap to sit comfortably.
Stella watched from the sidelines, a proud smile on her face as she observed how her girlfriend interacted with the puppies. She knew that Lizzie sometimes got overwhelmed with this amount of chaos.
Throughout the session, Lizzie's nervousness gradually transformed into genuine enjoyment. She found herself engaged in playful antics, letting the puppies crawl all over her, nuzzling her cheeks, and giving her wet, puppy kisses. It was a heartwarming and endearing sight. She answered questions about her time with Marvel, Sorry for Your Loss, and mostly on her new series, Love and Death.
Stella had been mostly in the dark about the storyline of the project, but hearing Lizzie speak about it with such unbridled enthusiasm stoked her curiosity. The anticipation of watching it when it was released in a few days began to build within her.
Amidst the hustle and bustle of the studio, Luna, Stella's faithful husky, spotted a curious puppy venturing to the edge of the set. The adventurous young pup nimbly hopped onto boxes, eager to explore the new environment. Luna, still tethered by her leash, ambled over to investigate. The golden Labrador puppy wagged its tail excitedly, thrilled at the prospect of making a new friend.
"-And that's why Candy was such a delight to work with throughout the entire Love and Death cast," Lizzie eloquently responded to a question, her gaze shifting to Luna, who tugged at her leash, yearning to join the fray. "It seems Luna wants to join the fun too," Lizzie noted, a hint of amusement in her voice, and the camera pivoted to capture the charming scene with the playful puppies.
Stella, sensing Luna's eagerness, decided to free her from the leash, allowing her to bound onto the set. Luna made a beeline for Lizzie, expressing her affection for her owner first, and then she turned her attention to the other canine companions. There, amidst wagging tails and playful frolics, the bond among the dogs continued to strengthen.
As Lizzie's interview continued, the charming interaction between the dogs became the unexpected highlight of the day. Stella couldn't help but smile at the sight of the joyful and friendly furballs. Their playful spirits seemed to infuse the studio with a warm and inviting atmosphere.
"Is there anything from the set that you've taken over the years, and if so, what was it?" The woman leaned in, her interest piqued, and posed an intriguing question.
Lizzie paused for a moment, reminiscing about her time on various sets over her acting career. She thought of herself as a huge rule follower but remembered a particular item she had taken from the Marvel sets over the years.
"You know, I've collected a few things over the years, but the most special item I have is the Wanda crown from WandaVision. It's not just a crown for me; it's a memento from my time as the Scarlet Witch in the Avengers films. It reminds me of the incredible journey I've had with the cast and crew," Lizzie shared, a sentimental smile gracing her lips.
As the conversation flowed, the interviewer shifted gears, asking a more personal question. "What's your favorite memory from working alongside Scarlett Johansson?"
Lizzie's face lit up as she spoke about her cherished friend and co-star, "Oh, there are so many wonderful memories with her. Scarlett is not just an exceptional actress but also one of the kindest and most genuine people I know. But if I had to choose a favorite memory it would be when she first met my girlfriend, Stella, she informed me what 'WandaNat' was."
She recounted a light-hearted episode with a laugh. "What do you mean?" the interviewer asked, chuckling lightly.
"Oh Scarlett has a great sense of humor, and she's not shy about showing it. She likes to playfully hit on Stella every so often just to see her reaction. It was all in good fun, and we shared quite a few laughs." Lizzie answered flawlessly, her voice enchantingly confident and smooth.
The interviewer seemed to like her answer, "That sounds like a lot of fun, Stella must have had an interesting day that day,"
Lizzie nodded. "Oh, she definitely did. Stella's got a great sense of humor too. She gave Scarlett a run for her money with witty comebacks. It's always a fun riot when we are all together."
The interview concluded with a warm exchange of goodbyes, leaving Lizzie with a sense of satisfaction. As she exited the studio, Stella was waiting with Luna, who wagged her tail enthusiastically, clearly excited to see her moms.
Stella greeted Lizzie with a warm smile, her eyes sparkling with affection. "Well, darling, you were incredible as always."
Lizzie leaned in to plant a soft, appreciated kiss on Stella's lips. "Thank you, love, and thank you for being here today. Luna as well," she added, leaning down to pet their energetic husky.
The couple strolled to their car, hand in hand, the bond between them palpable. Lizzie couldn't help but tease Stella as she glanced at their fluffy companion. "I think Luna deserves a little treat for being so patient during the interview, don't you?"
Stella chuckled. "Absolutely. How about a pup cup from Starbucks?"
Lizzie grinned. "Perfect. She'll love that,"
Upon arriving at the Starbucks drive-through, Stella ordered a chai latte with two pumps of brown sugar, and light ice. Contrasting the brunette's taste, Lizzie ordered a toasted vanilla oat milk shaken espresso.
As they handed over the small cup filled with whipped cream, the barista cooed over Luna, and Stella let the pup off her leash to lean over the car window. "Here you are Luna, for my little star," Stella teased, making the dog's tail wag even faster.
Lizzie playfully nudged Stella. "Well, we have to keep our little star happy. Don't we?"
Stella winked, accepting the pup cup and handing it to Luna, who devoured it with delight. "Always,"
With their happy pup and a car full of love, they continued their placid drive home, wrapped up in conversation, laughter, an unbreakable bond that made each moment together a treasure.
