Stupid Celebrity Crush (and an unreal outcome)

"If you weren't acting like you are above everything maybe you'd at least try to understand!" The woman let out the silent scream at the blonde girl that sat next to her.

"What is there to understand?" She disagreed in the same silent scream tone.

Their friends, two girls in front of them and two guys next to them, at first tried to ignore their growing argue but after it continued for the next few minutes it was impossible to. So now, they just listened to them in silence, trying to remember what was the argue even about.

"If you didn't notice, there is a lot of shit I have to deal with and you could at least try to be more sympathetic." She rolled her eyes and as she heard no answered she pinched her in the waist. "Don't ignore me now!"

"God, Hitch, not everything revolves around you. You are calling me out for not being open-minded or shit like this but you also think I have no better things to think about." Annie hissed under her breath and fully annoyed by her friend's behaviour. She was just trying to get to her own drink and she pinched her like this? What was that about?

"You started this! At least have honour to finish it." She reminded her and it didn't help that they were so close to each other so when Annie turned around to face her, their faces were centimetres away.

"No, I didn't!" She fought back. "I just said what I think and you started to brag about how horrible I am."

"You didn't have to say this that way!" She explained herself, acting like she didn't lose the point of it all just like her other friends.

"Can you not make your argue everyone's deal for once? Please." One of the guys spoke up his mind, breaking the silence of the rest of their friend group. It was Reiner Braun, probably the bravest and the stupidest of them all.

The girls shut for a second and tried hard not to touch or even look at each other, which looked quite comedic with the way they sat on the same small part of the couch. Annie started to mess with her drink using her straw and Hitch stared at the table and her empty glass.

Now, the silence took control over the whole group.

Thank God, there was another person brave enough to break it. To break it in their own sarcastic and pitty way that definitely did not help resolve the tension between Annie and Hitch, but at least they were talking again.

"You argue like old married couple." Ymir smirked after taking a sip from her drink. Her wife next to her, Historia smiled at the comment. On the other hand, Reiner looked like he is about to hide under the table. The last of them, Berthold, acted like he didn't hear it and continued to read the menu. But they all knew how the comment will work of them.

"I don't think I could get old with someone like her." Hitch answered irritated.

"You don't need my help to not make it past your thirties." Annie murmed as angry as the other one.

"You are saying I am not responsible enough to live and get old like an average human being?" She asked even though she already knew the answer.

"Don't ask stupid questions when you want clever answers." She scanned her red face with her eyes and raised her eyebrows.

Their intense eye contact disappeared when the heard a loud slap at the table. They looked in shock as they saw Berthold's hand pointing at some advertisment in the menu.

"Here you are, couple therapy, perfect for you two." He announced and felt a bit proud of himself when he heard Historia giggle, it also came to shock for him that she didn't make any statement about the situation they got in.

"Why are you acting like we are dating? You are probably the people who know the most what is the situation between us like." Hitch sighed and after few seconds she realised how stupid that sounded.

But she couldn't correct herself, she couldn't add anything about it and if they did, she'll absolutely fucking destroy them. It is obvious that Annie can't know that they created a group chat without her just so Hitch can talk about her silly, little crush on the blonde. When she remembered this, she felt a growing red blush on her cheeks.

"I mean, we could give you a good friendship therapy but definitely not for free and not when we have a night out with each other." Ymir spoke and to Hitch, the way she said "friendship" sounded like it is offensive to them.

Normally, Hitch would absolutely hate he way she is talking about her feelings towards Annie and how she tease her about them, but Ymir is Annie's best friend since what? Middle School? And she didn't say a word about it to Annie. She can keep actually important secret even from someone like her best friend and Hitch can't help it but be thankful and ignore some traits of Ymir.

"But..." She started even though she didn't even know what she wants to say.

"Hitch." She got interrupted by Historia, Who finally decided to speak her mind. "Please, calm down, it was nothing serious."

"Yeah, you know Annie, Annie knows you, so why would you even start to argue about shit like this? I'm pretty sure Annie knows how cold she can be and you don't need to remind her." Reiner added calmly. It was in their nature to be chaotic and energetic group, but when it came to the arguments of those two, all of sudden the whole group turns into responsible, open-minded adults.

She knows it. She knows about it and it fucking hurts. Because it wasn't about the way Annie is, it was about the way she reacted like it didn't matter to her. And Hitch wanted for her to care, be jealous, anything so much.

"Sorry." She apologised and sighed heavily. "I've been overwhelmed by everything and I guess she awoken everything inside me at once." She tried to explain herself and looked at Annie's reaction.

"Doesn't matter. I'm getting used to how annoying you can be." She responded but didn't lock eye contact with the other girl.

"Okay, so anyway, how did this whole thing ended up anyway? You didn't even finish." Historia asked Hitch like she haven't already heard a whole story, like her best friend doesn't upgrade her on every single moment in her life.

"Where did I end?"

"I..." Berthold started and when he realised no one remembered where the story ended, he continued. "Explain from the beginning."

He also noticed that Annie looked like she is about to remind everyone about the progress of Hitch's story time but decided not to for unknown, for him, reasons. He found it cute how she can remember and focus so much on "annoying" girl.

"So we were filming together like we would film every other movie, right?" She started.

Hitch Dreyse was a world famous actress and she just came back to the town she and her friends lived in after few months of non stop recording, interviews and like 5 hours of sleep daily. She got a main role in thriller like movie with the very important romance subplot. She was really exited about it and everyone who watched the film is sure that she'll get at least a nomination for the best female role of the year.

She was only 24 but her carrier was already on world-wide level.

"And at first, I thought that he was just a nice guy who is trying to help me out! But when casual spending time together after session became asking me out almost every Sunday, I knew what was up." She was talking about Joshua Andersen, the guy who got the main male role in her newest film. "But it was so difficult to turn him off! I was literally saying how I like our friendship and he is a very good friend and like, everything you would say to friendzone someone and he still tried to be my boyfriend."

"Isn't he like 10 years older than you?" Reiner added when it came to his realisation.

"13." She responded shortly. "Which makes this whole situation even fucking worse."

A moment of silence before she continues.

"When we finished recording there was this interview about our work. Firstly, he was alone and only he was answering the questions 'cuz I was late, but when I joined him, turns out, he started to say some out if pocket shit about me and him having a thing for each other!"

"But was it like, between the sentences ot he straight up said you wanna fuck each other?" Ymir asked curious.

"I don't think that matters, it was still weird as hell." Berthold responded before Hitch could say anything about it.

"I just want to know how bitchy a wealthy, white man can get when he likes a woman with no signs of her liking him back." She protected herself and made a gesture with her hand for Hith to continue.

"I think it was between the sentences one. But what made it even fucking worse was that they all asked me without any filter. Like, when it came to him it was this little inside jokes and giggles and shit and when it came to me? "Are the rumours true?" "She mimicked the voice of the journalist. " "What rumours?" "You know, the one about you and Joshuaaaa." " She played it out so well that the whole group laughed and even Annie smiled for a second. Her talent was undeniable. "When I answered no they all started to tease me as if I am lying!"

"And then you let him kiss you." Annie said coldly and everyone could feel how angry she really is about it.

"I don't know." She sighed and covered her face with her hands. "I just-. We were just leaving from another interview with few another actresses. We were walking to our car and he grabbed me by my waist... I couldn't even move! The paparazzi was everywhere and everything became so foggy under those lights. I felt like my head was spinning in circles. Fortunately or not, he noticed out of all of people and took me out of there to our car faster than it would normally take..." She stopped for a second there. "When he opened the doors for me I just thanked him. Nothing weird, right? I was getting in in the car and I heard him say, something that was sounding like a secret but everyone could hear it... Then he said that his pretty, little princess is still not used to her fame. Every. Single. Person. Heard it." Her gaze became empty and she could notice that Annie starts to look like she feels guilty about her behaviour from before. "When we were alone in the car I asked him what the fuck was that about and he just kissed me on the cheek. Again, he did it the way everyone can see it. He said that it is a waste of time to not date and just act as coworkers."

"Have you told him to shut the fuck up?" Ymir questioned, mad and irritated about his actions.

"I wished I did, but I panicked and I answered that I already have someone else in my eye." She sighed once again and fixed her dark wig.

She had to wear it, she knew that it was almost impossible to show herself in public without anyone recognising her. And she just wanted to go out for the drink, a very expensive drink, with her friend to the new, fancy restaurant opened in Stohess. She decided long time ago that she wants her private life to be separated from her job.

"You seem to always brag about that someone in your interviews. But who is he? You never told us." Annie asked and Hitch really wanted to confess that every time when she talks about someone special in her life, she talks about her. She didn't even notice that Annie said it in bitter tone like she is jealous.

"It is just the imaginary someone so people can make up rumours about my love life. The thought of me having a secret someone turns them on and it makes them think about me more. It is a marketing strategy." Hitch lied and it tasted so badly on her tongue to deny her true feelings.

Of course she wants to confess, but why would she destroy her and Annie's friendship? Different and almost unworking one but still friendship? There is no way Annie could think about her this way...

"When your contract with your manager expires remember that I am the next one and I won't make you do bullshit like this. You'd be everywhere and on everyone's mouth just because of you and not some stupid nonexistent boyfriend." Historia stated proudly and they smiled at each other. They both couldn't wait before they start to finally work together.

"How could I forget about having beautiful, practical and amazing manager in few months? Don't insult me. Who would choose David when they could have Historia Reiss?" She joked.

They talked about everything for uncountable amount of time and they thanked God that the restaurant is opened 24/7 and they also thanked for Historia and Hitch, their rich friends who could afford a rent for their table for the whole night.

"I'm gonna get us new drinks, who is coming with me?" Berthold stood up and gently make his way out of his place. To his shock, Hitch volunteered for his company. "So what are y'all getting?"

"I'd like to try mojito here." Reiner answered.

"The same one as before." Ymir responded. "Alcohol free, remember, someone has to take your asses home."

"Number 13." Historia said the number of the drink she wants to get.

Hitch took Berthold's arm and they just started to make their way to the bar when they heard Annie's voice.

"What about me? Let me order something to!" She shouted at them and the woman turned around to face her.

"Number 18, am I right?" She said with proud smirk from ear to ear.

"Y-yes." She stuttered, surprised that she somehow figured out which one she would like to get. "Alcohol free."

Hitch nodded and they peacefully went to get them drinks. Not even a minute passed when they couldn't hear their friends that were left behind on the table and they all started to talk behind each others back.

"So is tonight's the night you'll finally get to her ass or you'll think about it?" Ymir teased Annie when she was sure Hitch couldn't hear them.

"Shut up." Was the only answer she could think of. She hated it when they talked about her feelings towards Hitch Dreyse so out loud and with no filter.

Because it was so stupid. It was bad at the end of High School when Hitch had a boyfriend but now? It was even worse! How would it sound when she'll say she has a crush on popular actress who is known for her beauty? It's like she took her celebrity crush serious. Another point is, she just happens to be her friend. Why would she risk it all, their friendship, change their whole life and her carrier just because her voice is her favourite sound in the world? Just because her eyes feels like an ancient forest waiting for deep explorations? Just because her hair looks so soft she could bury her entire face in it and feel like warm snowflakes are all around her face?

"Oh, you are still embarrassed by your celebrity crush." Historia teased right after her wife. They loved doing that.

"Don't worry, it is perfectly normal for someone like Hitch Dreyse to go on your hear me out cake!" Reiner said like he is serious about it.

"It can't be a hear me out cake when she is so pretty and conveniently attractive!" Historia corrected him. "But who I am to talk about her beauty... Annie definitely knows more about the number of freckles on her cheeks and her hourglass body silhouette. Right?"

"Fuck off." She murmed and covered her face.

"Don't act like you aren't dedicated in exploring every place where average people can't reach and scanning her whole face when she isn't looking." Ymir exposed her best friend and she almost continued her speech but Reiner kicked her foot under the table. The celebrity crush was coming.

"Where's the drinks?" Reiner asked.

"They said they might be a bit late with them cuz there is a lot of people." Berthold explained. "And the guy behind the bar was..."

"Creepy as fuck." Hitch ended with a heavy sigh and sit next to Annie once again. "And he." She pointed at Berthold. "Did not make the situation any better."

The short silence and confused looks shared before Ymir decided to speak.

"What did you do?"

"Nothing!" He tried to defend himself but when he saw cold gaze of Hitch he quickly told the truth. "This guy was trying to hit on her. She lightly kicked me to inform that we need to show to him that those gates are closed and we started to talk about..."

"My hypothetical girlfriend." She finished instead of him when she noticed how embarrassed the man is.

"What is the problem? I thought you were bisexual." Ymir asked again, not suspending anything and having no idea what happened.

"It is not about him saying I have a girlfriend so the guy will be less of a freak!" She corrected and looked at Berthold as she wanted for him to finish explaining his mistake.

"I might or might not make it out to be as Annie is her hypothetical girlfriend." He whispered in high-pitched tone and the whole group laughed, except for Annie, him and Hitch.

"It isn't funny, assholes." The actress broke their laughing session with red face.

"I'm going to hold your hand when I tell you this... " Historia answered in playful tone and winked at her best friend.

Does she really expect that Hitch will start to flirt or something with Annie for the sake of some random guy? Is she really trying to get them together in the moment like this? Hitch was not prepared to do anything towards Annie tonight and nothing should change that! To bad, she can't say it out loud...

"C'mon, at least try to make it more visible that you like each other, nobody is asking you to make out or anything." Ymir giggled an another tease and seconds later she felt a strong kick on her knee. Annie wasn't happy for her behaviour.

"You all are even worse than Hitch, right now." She stated and acted like she didn't kick her best friend just seconds ago.

"Why are you comparing everyone to me?!" She asked annoyed. Are they going to fight once again?

"I guess, you are her blue print." Historia answered instead of Annie and when she saw angry look at her she continued. "What? You are perfection to a lot of people, so what is wrong with her doing the same thing that directors are doing all the time?"

"Oh, Hitch, how does it feel like? To be so famous? I don't think I've ever asked you about this..." Reiner said, unexpectedly breaking the topic completely and creating the whole new one.

"It feels good to see edits of myself but it feels horrible to not being able to shop for anything without someone getting on my ass and asking for something." She answered nonchalantly like this isn't a serious and irritating problem to her.

"Hitch, the type of girl, to see herself in an edit and be like "Who is this fine babe?" " Ymir joked.

"If I was someone else, I'd definitely have a celebrity crush on me." She continued the joke and noticed that Annie's facial expression changed for a second when she said "celebrity crush".

Of course, she had no idea that when other girls crushes secret names come from fruits or something else, celebrity crush was Annie's secret crush's name and when she heard it, it triggered something inside of her.

"Fuck, he is coming." Berthold let out a silent scream nervously.

When Hitch found out who he is talking about, she quickly, but still naturally, leaned on Annie so her head was resting on her shoulder and she lightly grabbed her hand. She titled her head up so it is easier for her to whisper.

"Sorry that you have to act like you enjoy my presence, Leonhardt." She quietly said and turned around to get in whatever conversation her friends got in.

When the waiter, who was also the creepy guy who was flirting with her at the bar, approached them with drinks, Annie grabbed her waist like she already did it countless of times. Nothing about her appearance changed, she put that hand over her waist like it was normal and casual thing to do for two friends.

On the other hand, Hitch started to panick from the sudden contact and she thanked God for her acting skills so none of her emotions will be visible on her. But her mind drove from one though to another so fast. On one second she was thinking about how perfectly her hand fits right there. Quickly after, she is analysing how strong the grab is and how she feels like it is forbidden to move under her touch, even though she had so much free space around her.

"Sorry for the delay, the night shift is always way busier than the day shift." The man apologised and started to shamelessly stare at Hitch's body, his face looked disgusted when he saw Annie's hand around her.

"Don't worry about it, we have a whole night to get drunk." Historia joked, being the only person by the table who could be nice even if she was going completely feral inside.

The waiter laughed shortly and put the drinks on a table. When he was giving number 18 to Annie, he discreetly knocked the glass off so the liquid will go all around her pants.

"Oh, my bad, I'd give you another drink in a second, on my costs." He fakely shouted another apology and he was turning around to fullfiil his words.

"No, I was just planning to leave already." The sentence reached his ears so he faced the woman and smiled a smile fill of poison.

He left.

"No, Annie, don't leave because of some asshole!" Reiner begged her when the waiter went far enough so he wouldn't hear them.

"You know that I hate to stay up that early in the morning when not needed to and it is arleady 1 AM." She explained herself and started to slowly clean herself up.

"Stay, please." Hitch almost whispered like her begs and sweet words are only reserved for one person only.

Annie looked like she is truly rethinking her words but shortly after she continued slowly getting up and leaving. She will think about the way her voice sound so softly against her ears when she'd get to her apartment.

She stood up and headed over the exit of the restaurant, still trying to make herself look more presentable with wet jeans. Hitch watched her every move, every step and when she saw Annie reaching out to the door knob her observations got interrupted by someone's voice.

"Bitch, don't act clueless, go with her." It was Ymir.

"No, why would I? I have no reason to and I will just make things more awkward after the girlfriend thing..." The actress responded heavily and covered her embarrassed face with her hands.

"You will come with her because I will NOT take your ass home after we finish our night here." The woman commanded and Hitch looked around her friend's faces, looking for help.

She knew Historia is coming back with Ymir, of course she is, why wouldn't she come back to her home with her own wife? Reiner was few drinks in so he couldn't drive and she wasn't sure if he even had his own car... So maybe Berthold? She glanced at him as he is her last hope.

"I'm going back with Ymir too." He stated with an awkward smile and little giggle.

"God, but what is the deal? Why won't you just take me home? You still have one place left..." Hitch said irritated.

"I am sick and tired of yours and Annie's unresolved sexual tension so you'd either come with her to solve it all or you are coming back to your house that is placed in some random shit hole, 5 kilometres from the city on your drunk, bitchy feet." Ymir threatened her and pointed her finger at her like she is giving her child a lecture.

"Fine, but I am doing it just because I don't want to get any blister." After a short moment of tension, she groaned and quickly got up from her seat to search for Annie. "You'd pay me for this, asshole."

"And you'd thank me for this." She answered, truly convinced that what she did was right.

"They either going to fuck each other or fuck each other up." Reiner assumed with comedic nod of his head. "There is no in between."

"I'm betting 100 dollars that it is the first option that is going to happen." Historia added with a smirk before finishing her drink.

×========================×

When Annie got in her car, her face dropped dead on the steering wheel and she was one wrong word from hitting her head on it over and over again. She needed to rest. Why did she acted out so madly when she heard about Hitch getting kissed by someone?

She could handle it at the end of High School when she knew she had feeling towards her and Hitch had a whole ass boyfriend. So what happened today? She is holding it together for something like 5 years now and she could act like a normal friend when Hitch brought out her new crush or one night stand.

God, for those five years Annie even had a girlfriend once and nobody could notice that she had a thing for her for half a year! She could keep just a friend mask for so long... What the fuck happened to her today? This argue was so out of pocket and it just made everyone's attention on their relationship.

This is how her previous relationship ended. One night when she, her ex and Hitch met up she let her guard down for few minutes. Or maybe hours. After those uncountable amount of time it was obvious to her girlfriend that she is not the one Annie laid all her love on. One night was enough for her to see that Annie Leonhardt is head over heels for Hitch Dreyse.

The knocking on the window woke her up from her thoughts. She looked to the way where the source of the sound came from and she saw Hitch Dreyse in all of her glory. When the woman noticed that she sees her she waved and smiled awkwardly, pointing at the door, asking for her to open them. She did as she pleased to and seconds after the actress was arleady in the car.

"Hello!" She giggled out with a wide smile and Annie couldn't help it but think that this smile only fitted her natural hair and not that stupid wig she wore.

"Hi?" She answered. She wanted to make it out to be as nothing weird happened between them, but it was difficult to when she wanted to have her alone time and of course, she was the one to interrupt.

"Ymir is a bitch and she said that she will leave my ass here and I'd have to walk on my feet to my house." She explained herself, still with a bright smile. Annie let out a small, quiet laugh.

"And you are here because?" She asked.

"Don't ask stupid questions when you want clever answers." Hitch mimicked her own words from before and the one who spoke them first rolled their eyes.

"Ha ha, so funny." She commented and then told what she had in mind more clearly. "Why did Ymir did that? What have you done?"

I have a silly, little crush on you for 4 years now and Ymir is sick from hearing about my unconfessed shit, was the true answer, but the answer Annie had to hear was quite different than that.

"She said we have to apologise to each other in tone like she is our mother."

"Why does she care about our argues tonight so much?" Annie sighed, more to herself than to a woman on the passager seat.

"I guess she wanted to have nice night out in full squad and got annoyed that we stole the spotlight." She responded and fixed her dark wig.

"Oh no, you stole the spotlight, you always do." She corrected her. "You are made for the attention and the lights."

"I have heard it from you milion times and you really have to repeat yourself one more?" She rolled her eyes and chuckled. "Okay, enough of this shit, drive me home."

She turned on the car and started to make her way out of the parking. Hitch put out her phone and started to text someone. Once again, the sudden, unexpected jealousy hit Annie even though she knows there is nothing wrong in texting someone.

"Who are you texting so aggressively?" Annie asked her confused.

"Ymir."

"You can't stand me so much you don't even want to get picked up by me?" She answered teasingly.

"With this attitude, yes." She explained herself and hid her phone in the pocket of her jacket. She wished she could hide a growing blush on her cheeks too but turns out, this universe is not helpful towards her. "Why are we not moving?"

"Traffic." She shortly responded and when she noticed that the other girl won't continue conversation she felt the sudden urge to continue it on her own. Which was weird, of course, since when does she care so much about talking to anybody? "What are those people doing at 1AM?"

"I've heard there was Olivia Rodrigo concert near by." She turned so it will be easier for her to admire Annie's side profile. When she begun to analyse the details of her face, she became completely loss at words for the first time in a while.

"You met her, right?" She remembered and she saw that the actress nodded. "How was she like?"

"Pretty, nice, kinda funny." She started to count on her fingers the positives. "I didn't talk with her long enough to see any negatives about her."

"What happened to Hitch Dreyse that could judge you based on 10 seconds conversation?" She joked with her thoughts getting back to their old High Schools times.

"She disappeared with the coming of one blonde girl that she couldn't even have 5 seconds conversation with." She smirked. "But right now, after 8 years of knowing each other, I think I can judge her pretty well." She stated proudly.

"If you start to analyse her would she even have a chance to protect herself?"

"No." She responded with a bright, wide smile forming on her lips. "I might start doing it right now so you'll hear everything about her by the time we'll get to my house." She tried to lock eye contact with the driver but she was to focused on still busy and full road. "That girl is said to be ugly by most of the people but honestly, they don't know shit about good looking things."

To add a dramatic effect to the sentence, she finally took off uncomfortable and irritating wig and threw it on the backseats. Annie cursed in her mind because the traffic started to move faster and she had to stay even more focused on what is happening in front of her and not on the dirty blonde girl with curly, short hair that always wore a big smile and it fitted her so amazingly.

She also wrote a little note in her mind that Hitch called her pretty and it was genuine.

"That girl acted like she is much better than the others and it annoyed me so fucking much, I decided to make her know, that I am even better." She smirked, closed her eyes and tilted her head back. Annie would have pay to see it more clearly. "I got to know her and turns out, she needed serious help with her father. I helped her, a lot and she was so afraid that I will find her weak..." It started as little jokes and giggles and it ended up as monologue about their relationship. "She was stupid, I've never met anyone so strong. And I cannot lie, I love it when she came to sleep over at my apartment."

"Okay, you don't need to share the whole story, I was there when it was made." Annie interrupted and put on an apologising look. She really wanted to prevent long talking about their past.

"Sorry, got nostalgic." Hitch laughed it off and stared at her companion. It was almost unnoticeable, but some alcohol definitely got to her head. "Remember the time when we almost kissed?"

"What!?" She shouted. She took her by suprise and that meant she begun to blush like crazy and she grabbed the steering wheel tighter.

"Then turns out you don't remember every part of the story." She chuckled like talking with your friend about kissing each other is perfect normal and nothing weird.

"I do remember it, I just choose not to think about it." She stated through her teeth, her shock quickly turned into anger.

"Why? You are afraid you might like the vision of what might have happened next to much?" Hitch teased and leaned over a bit towards Annie.

Maybe, Ymir's idea wasn't as bad as it seemed out to be...

"Fuck no, it would be horrible." She fakely rolled her eyes, acting like she haven't thought of this situation way to often.

Because how could she forget almost kissing Htch Dreyse?

×========================×

The bell rang, she ignored it and continued to stare through the window. She heard that sound again, her reaction was exactly the same.

She needed to stay alone for a moment. Or maybe two moments. Or eternity of moments.

She closed her eyes and leaned into the cold window and rethinked everything that happened few hours ago, holding the bottle of wine a bit tighter than she had to.

"Hitch?" She heard a voice calling out her name, so worried, almost panicking.

She didn't even raise her head. She wanted to murm back to leave her alone but as she took in a big breath to do so, she felt a light touch at her arm.

"Hitch." This time it sounded softly, like every worry in the world disappeared once the person saw her.

She faced her sudden, unexpected guest and turned out, it was Annie Leonhardt leaning towards her, wanting to check if she is okay. When she noticed how close they are, her heart skipped a bit and the small voice in the back of her head asked her to get closer. She silenced it out. It was stupid.

But why didn't she heard the coming footsteps? Why did her brain not detect any from of movement around her? Did it all really left her so fragile she couldn't even protect herself or did she recognise the sound of her steps and knew she was safe?

"Annie." She answered gently and brushed away tears that formed at the edge of her eyes. It did not help at all.

"What happened?" She whispered and sat down next to her on the floor. When no response was heard she asked again. "Hitch, tell me, what happened?"

She looked into her blue eyes and realised that for the past few hours she was alone and she haven't share the news with anybody. Could she share them now? Would it be even possible to keep it a secret?

The urge to tell her that nothing important, nothing to worry her little head about was so strong. But it was also so difficult to keep any secrets from away from her, she was the chest that kept all of her emotions, thoughts, anything, so why would she hide this from her?

Maybe, she was embarrassed about it. Maybe, she thought that after this, she is no longer capable of being loved. Maybe, she still thought that it was all of her fault and didn't know the rest of the truth, hidden from her. Maybe, she just didn't want to worry her and preferred to see her smile instead of her eyes getting miserable.

She'd never know.

But for a second she actually considered not speaking and staying silent till someone else will announce it. Those few simple words felt so heavy in her dark bedroom, in her drunk mind, in her sweaty hands and in her sore throat.

"Hitch." But it all felt a hit lighter once she heard her name being called out that way. She closed her eyes and leaned into the wall.

"He..." She stuttered and thanked to her eyelids that kept her away from Annie's eyebrows getting closer together from all of mixed emotions she got hit by. "...broke up with me."

She ended the sentence and covered her face with her hands, she burst into tears when she no longer felt Annie's touch on her arm and she only had her cold gaze all around her.

"Why?" She asked after few minutes of silence and she cursed herself for being such a heartless bitch that cannot comfort anybody.

She hated how weak she was with words, even when it came to Hitch. She should make her feel loved. Platonically, romantically, anything would work, she just should to learn how to show all of her feeling towards her. How proud she is about every single aspect of Hitch's life and how she loves to see her getting exited about the most little things. How beautiful her smile looks for her and how she adores the way Hitch styles her hair, whether it is curly or straight, because she will make anything fit her perfectly.

Annie saw Hitch wearing everything good in the world and she acted like it is the most average thing on Earth.

"He told me that he can't be with someone with so... Unexpected future and fragile dreams. That he needs someone down to earth and not with their head somewhere wandering in the sky." She explained, crying and turned to see Annie. "He said that maybe we could make it work if I were a bit different, less dynamic, if i understand that i might not succeed... And that he can't date someone that looks at someone else with more craving than they look at their own partner." With every word her voice was getting quieter. "I don't even know who he was talking about." She whispered through her teeth and once again brushed away her tears. "Annie, I am not a whore, I can stay loyal and focused on my partner. I-"

"Hitch." She interrupted and reached out to grab her hand in the act if comforting her. She also took the wine bottle and placed it somewhere further. "I know this. It is just..." She locked eye contact with those watery, green eyes, choosing her next words wisely, carefully. "...not everyone can see this."

"What if they won't see this in my first movie?" She asked and squeezed the other's hand hardly.

This was that unstable dream he was talking about, her first role she got, her way into fame and wealth. If she would made it look all right, she'd achieve everything she ever wished for and he would share her success with her, she'd let him. If this would turn out different way, she'd just forget about it all and decide on her new lifestyle, find new job.

Why couldn't he accept that she wants to take all the risk and hope on one role?

"Then they all are idiots." Annie hissed and all of her mixed emotions turned into anger towards everyone that could think of Hitch the wrong way, treat her badly or hurt her. She took her hand between the two of her and raised it to the height of her collarbone. She noticed that Hitch is still not convinced about her worth so she begun to continue. "You will be the brightest star in the world."

"Don't lie to me just because you feel sorry." She said in the tone full of bitterness and soreness.

"I don't have to, I truly believe this." She confessed and put her forehead and the combination of their hands.

"Why?" Was the only word she could think of at that moment.

"There is something..." Annie started and swallowed hard before she continued to speak her true believes, that were hidden so deep in her. "... capturing about you. You walk into the room and everyone will want to be close to you because you are... Charming. People call you selfish and lazy..."

"Which I am." Hitch smiled lightly when she heard more and more compliments and words filled with hard to tell feeling from usually quiet girl.

"And you are so much more than that." She whispered and raised her head to see the other one's face. "And even if you fail, what is unlikely, I will be with you. I can promise you this. I won't leave you so easily. I won't. I'd stay, if you like it or not, I will."

She confessed and felt a sudden emptyness when Hitch took her hand away from her to hug herself.

"You really think that way?" She asked, just to make sure, because she trusted every single word she heard.

"Of course."

They locked eye contact but this time, something more intimate happens between them. Their eyes met like they remember each others soul perfectly and even with every secret they both have, they see no flaws. For a second, Hitch could swear Annie's pupils got a bit bigger and she felt like hers did the same.

They smiled at each other and Hutch forgot about all of her problems and mistakes she might make in the future.

It was just them against the world.

And it was enough.

When the peace hit her mind she felt a tear, a tear of relief, running down her cheek and as she wanted to let it go all the way down, she felt a hand brushing away her tear. Annie truly did that, she took away all of her sadness and now she wasn't letting any cries escape from her. Hitch leaned towards her, putting all of her support on her hand that she put behind Annie and their noses were almost touching.

"Thank you." She whispered and Annie's eyes grew wider as she felt a warm breath tingling her lips.

It was their almost a kiss. It became significant event in Hitch's life because then she realised, that her ex boyfriend meant Annie when he talked about looking at the others. She wanted to look at her and that was the day, the day when she survived her first ever break up, when she realised.

She has a huge crush on Annie Leonhardt.

And she is very proud of it.

×=====================×

Turned out, her boyfriend was cheating on her. She told that to Annie and they made a theory that he just wanted to take his guilt out on her. It seemed like the blonde accepted the theory and stopped thinking about that night when they fell asleep on Hitch's bedroom floor. But Hitch didn't. She started to think about this every night and she imagined what would happen if she leaned few centimetres further.

×=====================×

"I think you jinxed me with success that night." Hutch smiled and it woke them both up from the flashbacks of what might happen.

They both thought of it as platonic act when at the implication of kissing each other they went quiet for few minutes and they both had a feeling that the other one is thinking similar. But their feeling towards developing their relationship into someone more than friendship were changing every few minutes.

One moment, they could swear that the other the feel the same and it is just stupid to wait any longer. Second moment, every "what if" hit them harder than normally and they decide to shut the fuck up for their own good.

"What do you mean?" Annie smiled at her and took a longer glance at her friend next to her. Right now, they were driving through the forest and the road was empty, she didn't need to be that focused on driving.

"You told me I will shine bright and I do." She explained but it still didn't make sense to her, so she just decide to be quiet and not getting dragged into unnecessary discussion. "My next role offer happened next to you, remember?"

"How could I forget?"

×=====================×

"Annie? Annie! You finally came!" Hitch shouted as she saw the woman sitting on her couch in her new apartment in the city where her first movie was filmed. She seemed to not mind her getting in without her knowledge when she was absent.

"I think that the you shouldn't leave the keys in the doors when you are going shopping, idiot." Annie pointed out her inresponsibility about her own home but she still let the actress hug her tightly.

"Oh, shut up." She yawned and when she was so close, Annie started to notice how visibly tired she actually is.

Hitch had forming eye bags and her hair started to get greasy, she looked like she just worked for 10 hours and she went from moon and back, which was weird, she always valued her look upon everything else.

"You look half dead." Annie stated after the grip didn't loosen up and she started to feel uncomfortable. When the other woman hears her voice, she let go and put her hands tightly on her arms, bringing her close, they were centimetres away.

"Today was the last day on the set and they milked out everything from me!" She explained in whiny tone. "So when I came back I went to sleep and I woke up like an hour ago and saw your text that you'd be there soon and I though "Shit!" and quickly fixed myself to go shopping because I wanted to make you cinnamon rolls, the one you love so much and I had no idea I left the keys and that you already came because I left my phone in apartment in rush so now I look like shit and there is no sweet treats for you!"

"Okay, okay." She chuckled. "Don't forget to breathe."

She sighed heavily and continued. "But I am really really sorry because we haven't seen each other for so long! You are here and when I thought about it I wanted to present myself as perfect, totally collected person and you saw me... Like this with nothing but..." She yawned. "... tired eyes."

"It's fine. I will be there for a week. we have time." She calmed her friend down.

"Not only a week because I am coming back to Stohess with you!" She announced and brought their hands together and put them in between them. "Also the craziest shit happened to me today!"

"I don't think something normal could happen to someone like you." Annie let out her typical comment about Hitch's behaviour, which often led to the huge argue, but right now, they were to happy with seeing each other.

"Could you hear me out for a moment?" She laughed. "So I was talking with my director today and he said that he will see Dave Goldberg this evening." Dave Goldberg was one of the biggest director known to movie industry. "At first I had no idea why is he telling me this so I didn't answer but then he explained that Dave is searching for actresses to his new movie, right? So I said that Selena would do amazing work but he said that he plans to recommend me!"

"That's..." She started. "...crazy."

"See? I told you!" She shouted.

"Don't scream into my ear!"

"Don't be such a pussy then!" She rolled her eyes but they both still smiled at each other. When she yawned again, she heard Annie's worried tone.

"I think you should go to sleep for now, you will explain everything to me later, okay?"

"It's a good idea, but I definitely will feel stupid about this." She giggled and led them to her bedroom.

Hitch heavily tossed her body on the bed and when she noticed that Annie just stands there awkwardly, she rolled her way to the other side of the furniture, making some space for the other one. Annie laid next to her shyly.

They looked at each other and their smiles became even wider. Hitch got closer to her and cuddled up her way into Annie's arms.

"I really missed you." She murmed into her hoodie and closed her eyes to rest.

Annie found herself speechless from the warm body right next to her so she just nodded lightly and hugged her friend to soothe her to sleep. She thanked God that from that position, Hitch couldn't see her growing blush.

>---

They didn't even notice when they fell asleep like this, what made them realise that was the ringing phone somewhere in the room. Hitch's still sleepy mind recognised that it was hers and she quickly jumped out of bed to see who is calling.

The sudden empty spot next to her, woke Annie up completely.

"Hello?" She heard Hitch's tired voice. "What's the matter?" She shortly yawned as she was hearing what the other person had to say. "Don't play jakieś with me right now, please... Wait... What?!" Annie giggled seeing Hitch's almost unconscious mind switching up so quickly. "What the fuck?! Oh right... Sorry." She took a short glance towards Annie. "So, when?" She nodded and wrote something with the pen she found on her bedside table on her hand. "I... Really, really thank you."

The person disconnected and for few seconds she just stood there with her phone still right next to her ear, staring at the wall.

"Is something wrong?" Annie asked worried.

"I got the role." Hitch murmed more to herself, but she could still hear her. "I got the fucking role in Dave's movie!"

She screamed it in high pitched, exited voice and jumped on Annie's body. She grabbed both of her hands with hers and started to whisper "I can't believe this!", "How?" and every other sentence the happiest person in the world that still doesn't get it could speak.

Annie just stared at her bright red blush formed from excitement and glowing eyes. No, all of her was glowing, the atmosphere in the room changed the second she picked up that call. And with those news, Annie smiled at her softly and squeezed her hands tighter.

"Told you." She break out fate the next few minutes if this. "You will shine bright."

×=====================×

"When will we arrive?" Hitch changed the topic, visibly bored from sitting in one place, normally, the way to her home didn't last so fucking long.

"5 minutes." She responded shortly.

Hutch decided to live in the middle of the forest, far from people. She was always saying that she did that to have a quiet, peaceful place on Earth, away from all of the lights and cameras.

"I can't believe I have come this far." She sighed to herself with a light smile, breaking the awkward silence that was slowly forming between them.

"How does it feel like?" Annie asked when she realised she never asked about it.

"It's hard to explain." She started, playing with her fingers. "I mean, it is fun to see edits of myself when I'm scrolling through tik tok... Sometimes, it is just how Ymir's said, I see an edit and Im like "Who is this fine babe?" and then I remember that it is me." She fixed her head to add a dramatic effect to her words and Annie couldn't help it but giggle. "It is annoying when people ship me with someone... I mean, when they ship my role with someone's else role it is fine, of course, but when it is outside the movie... Like with Joshua. Everyone goes crazy for the thing that never happened and never will." Hitch said and she could swear that the woman's face expression changed and she looked like she is a bit jealous when she mentioned his name.

Which was weird, she has no reason to be jealous about someone like her, right?

"It is difficult to live my private life and it is annoying too when I can't go somewhere without someone asking me for an autograph or something." She stated. "But... I love to be in the centre of all the attention. After all those years, I can't imagine living an average life... I guess you were right, I am made to be the star. I don't regret anything."

"That's... Good to hear." She answered and turned around to face her. "Good night."

Hitch noticed just now that they are already here, next to her house. She looked in shock around which led to Annie raising her eyebrows in unspoken question-"Is something wrong?".

She wanted to answer "Yes", she loved to be back with her friends and meeting with them after the long time of her absence, if course, she loved the city and its closest territory. But it was all because of them, her own house didn't feel like a one. She hated to come back and see she needs to buy almost everything from the start like she just moved in. She hated that for some days she had to work with he temperature in the house for it to be perfect and that she had to clean everything deeply. She hated that she had no pets or flowers.

It felt empty and she was too afraid to admit that.

She knew that if she did, everyone would start to tease her about it. Because she had a perfect life, basically no worries, a wanted actress, popularity, money, traveling around a world and meeting almost every celebrity. Ymir would definitely never stop making jokes about it. And no matter how hard they'd try to understand, they won't, because they had their static, unchangable place on Earth.

But on that moment, Hitch looked at Annie and she felt like she is her place in the world, she is her home. She promised she won't ever change her opinion on her and she trusts it. Is there anything more that she could want?

"It is late." She murmed. "I think you should rest, so... Maybe, you'd come over to my place?" She asked with an embarrassed smile.

"S-sure." She stuttered, not expecting a proposition like that.

They grabbed their things and made their way into the building. There was this unspoken, heavy tension between them, from unknown reasons.

"Where do I sleep?" Annie said with a small blush on her cheeks. She didn't know why, they slept together multiple times, why was it so awkward now?

"With me, of course." Hitch answered, trying to make it out as nonchalant, casual offer and went to the bathroom.

She didn't close the doors behind her, so Annie quickly left her things in bedroom and went after her. She wash brushing her teeth, she joined her. She had a toothbrush reserved for her in Hitch's house since forever, it wasn't the first time they ended up this way. After few minutes they ended.

"I'm starving." Hutch complaint in very whiny, childish tone and weirdly lookek over Annie's whole body, not like she didn't enjoy her eyes on her.

"I think we can cook something up quickly." She stated and went to the kitchen, the woman followed her.

She opened the fridge and saw two bottle of wine, a carton of milk and a bit of cheese.

"What type of model diet you are?!" She questioned her friend's living skills once again this evening.

"None." She responded quickly. "I just planned to go to shop tomorrow, don't complain."

Hitch leaned over the kitchen countertop that was placed right next to the fridge, and her instinct told her to put her hand around Annie's waist. The other woman slowly closed the door as she felt her touch and eyes all around her.

The actress tried hide not to bring their faves closer and kiss her like she wanted to for so fucking long. They were centimetres away from getting together, right now, they were just scanning their faces and analysing every bit of it.

Annie's gaze stopped at her eyes. Hitch's gaze stopped at her lips. What are they even doing?

"What would you like to do, Leonhardt?" She asked, almost absorbing the way her lips looked like.

The way she said her last name made, her stare, her chest so close the her back, her hand squeezing her waist, her starved eyes, it all made Annie week in her knees.

"Nothing." She responded she sounded normal enough. And it's not like she knew what she has in mind, what could she even answer?

Hitch giggled and their noses were touching. "Really?" She had no idea from where her next words were coming, from where her behaviour came from, none of them could, but they both enjoyed it.

The actress closed her eyes and brought their bodies even closer, Annie could only focus on the other one's warm breath and perky lips. Moment like this haunted her in her dreams, she wanted for something like that to happen for 5 long years...

She felt like she can't wait any longer, she harshly grabbed Hitch's face and brought them for a kiss. Few first seconds was a fever dream, they both stopped moving for a while, feeling the texture of the other one's lips absorbed the world around them and it became all that mattered. Hitch's being wet, soft and cold and Annie's being drier and a bit warmer.

Hitch made the first move, she lowered her body so it would be more comfortable to kiss the shorter woman and turned her around so now, she was pinned against the countertop. Annie's hands were still placed on her cheeks but they were slowly making their way to her neck as they deepen the kiss and started to slowly find their rhythm.

The actress begun to play with her blonde hair, wanting to bring her face even closer like it was physically possible. She was starved, she truly was, this kiss was the most perfect meal she could get.

Annie tasted like mint, they freshly washed their teeths so Hitch guessed she tastes the same, but she didn't actually care about it, it was all the texture if her lips that mattered, not anything else. She needed more, she really did, but they took it slow, their kiss was sloppy and they didn't find the wanted relive they were searching for.

It happened so unexpectedly, they both didn't know what they were doing, they just got closer to each other than they should have and... They just did that. When Annie stopped thinking about the taller woman's body almost crushing her, she really how weird, awkward and out of pocket it actually was. What the fuck was eh thinking when she kissed Hitch Dreyse?

"No." She pulled back and replaced her hands so now they were keeping her balance and not holding her neck. She knew it wasn't the best way to stop it, but she felt like it is forbidden to have a good idea this night.

But Hitch's hands didn't move, they were still tangled in her hair and right now, she was just staring at her face with a flood of mixed emotions in her head. She started to notice things, she normally wouldn't, she saw a growing blush on Annie's cheeks as she continued to stare, she noticed that her lips are still half opened from their delicate kisses.

"Please." Was the only word she could think of. "Annie, please don't..."

Don't hate me, don't think about it, don't stop, don't leave me, don't turn me off like this... But she couldn't finish, she could only beg for them to continue what seemed impossible for such a long time.

But now she knew that Annie feels the same, she was the one to kiss her first and she won't just forget about it to continue saying they are just friends.

Annie saw that determination in her eyes, she heard a desperation in her voice and her whole face looked like she craves for something more to happen. She started to panick, how does she respond to something like this? In her scenarios of their kisses, it wasn't like that, in her dreams she didn't get afraid, she just let it happen.

"Don't make me wait any longer " Hitch whispered straight to her ear and kissed the skin right under it.

She was speechless. Any move from the other girl will sent shriver down her spine and make her blush grow. She didn't believe what she was hearing, feeling.

But after such a long moment of silence, Hitch started to back off. She couldn't let that happen, this was what she knew for sure, she can't let her go when she finally has a chance.

She grabbed the fabric of her tank top and brought her into another kiss. She could feel that the actress smirked under the pressure of her lips. Hitch held her waist and the free places between them were vanishing. They needed each other close, the closest they can achieve.

Under the feeling of desperate lips on her, she took few steps back but she still didn't loosen up her grip. With few clumsy moves, she led them out of the kitchen. The next thing she knows, she is getting pinged against the wall and her muscles flinch with every contact with the cold texture of it, pushing her body onto Annie even more.

Hitch forced herself to have a short break from kissing her to have a few deep breaths. Annie was looking the same way she was looking at her few minutes ago, starved, desperate, needing more than they can have.

But right now, they definitely can have it.

The actress tilted her head back to calm her breath down and she could feel her gaze all around her, analysing the movement of her throat and slightly opened mouth. She showed all of her teeth in a wide, cocky smile, put her leg around Annie's hips and brought them together for another kissing session.

"What?" Annie murmed confused when she heard another girl's giggles and feel her smirk.

"I had not expected for you to be such a great kisser." She leaned over her and her finger played with the top of her shirt.

Annie grabbed her hips and made their way towards the bedroom. She rolled her eyes every time when Hitch's smile or laugh were interrupting their make out session. But sh could not deny that it made the whole scene more charming for her.

The moment when the back of the actresses's knees hit the bed, she gasped and fell on the soft mattres. When she registered a harsh touch on her arm and somebody's leg being placed right next to her hips, as Annie is trying to pin her down, she bit her lips and escaped from her strong grip on her shoulder.

It led to Annie experienciya feeling like she tripped, but at that moment her hand fell behind Hitch to keep her balance and the other hand was placed the moment after for support. Her teeths tightened as she never expected any person to act towards her that way in bed. She was not used to a treatment like that.

On the other hand, Hitch seemed to be more than satisfied as her lips traced down on her neck.

"Can I make you a hickey?" She whispered straight to her ear and, even in the position they were, Annie could see her teasing smile that asked for a bigger challenge.

She did not remember what was her answer, but she guessed that it was some sort of equivalent to saying "Yes." Because not even a moment later her skin, right under her left ear, got sucken strongly and was getting biten lightly as Hitch was still testing out her limits.

The mark was still in making when the actress put on her hand on Annie's lower stomach and lightly pushed her back, perhaps it is hard to say she pushed her, she just put on minimal effort on that place and Annie just knew what she wants her to do.

Her legs were spread over her hips and she closed her blue eyes as she felt a tongue licking her neck. She was a bit embarrassed about it, but she wanted to feel her hands all over her for so long. Right now, it was like every moment in her life when she lust over Hitch was culminating.

She was worried what might happen in the morning, how much talking they might need before explaining their feeling and planning their future. But when her fingers brought her jawline lower and when her tongue brushed her lips, as if it was asking for something, she decided to not care about the ending of the night. She decided to think of this night as it will last forever.

The moment Hitch felt her mouth lightly opening, she couldn't hold it. She needed to feel her, explore her, remember her textures and shapes, anything related to her. When their tongues collapsed, it was impossible for her to think about anything else.

Annie Leonhardt became the only woman in the whole world.

Some part of her brain always knew it, she often decided to ignore it. She couldn't live with herself when no matter how many women she slept with, only one name was echoing somewhere in her mind.

She was slowly loosing her breath under the pressure of the other one's body on her hips. She harshly broke their contact and tried to calm herself down. As she did so, she scanned the woman from top to the bottom and suddenly, got annoyed by how covered she was.

She grabbed her shirt, somewhere in the middle and kissed Annie's collarbone right over her clothing. She went lower and her lips touched the first pinned button of the white shirt.

"May I?" Hitch murmed irritated, when she begun to see an obstacle in her clothes. At the same time, two of her fingers slipped in between the buttons and brushed slowly over her stomach, close to her bra.

Annie rolled her eyes, either from pleasure or annoyment, pulled her head to the back and started to play with her soft, dirty blonde curls. Once again, she let out something for an agreement and she waited for the other woman's further actions.

It came to her shock, when she looked down and saw the actress putting buttons between her teeth and slowly, teasingly unpinning the clothing. They locked eye contact.

"Is this some sort of your weird party trick?" She smirked as the woman beneath her begun to play with the second button.

"Don't act like it isn't quite enjoyable." She breathed out in between some weird mix of tongue, teeths and kisses to the skin close to the material that is arleady shown.

"Maybe a bit." She replied, wanting to make it out as she isn't completely hypnotized by her every move.

It was too enjoyable to see her like this.

A bit too much air escaped from her lungs, when she finished unpinning three top buttons of her shirt with her mouth and she realised that while she did that her hand took care of the bottom ones.

Hitch threw away an unnecessary clothing somewhere in her room and she analysed every bit of exposed skin. It is not like she hasn't seen her almost naked before. It is just it is the first time she can stare shamelessly, without any regrets. Finally having an opportunity to notice every curve, every muscle or even scars.

"You look beautiful, Annie." She whispered as she was truly speechless about what she can see, she just said whatever came to her mind first. She felt like she has to adore this moment in any way she can.

"You are not bad yourself." She responded jokingly. It was well known all around the world that Hitch's unrepeatable and godly like look has a huge role in her carrier.

Annie leaned over her and, what came to her satisfaction, Hitch's body lowered and was getting closer to the soft mattres. Which came to her suprise, the actress grabbed her waist tightly and threw her on it in a matter of seconds.

"If I am not bad then what am I?" She asked with a proud smile on her face from the position she git then into.

"Stubborn." She answered irritated and decided it is her turn to suprise the woman.

She bit the other one's lip harshly and turned them around once more, so now she was on top. She quickly put her legs between hers to be the one with more control.

Hitch laughed with their lips still collapsed and lightly pushed Annie away. The actress noticed that the woman was just planning to say something about it, some kinda mean, but still on point comment, but she decided not to when Hitch took off her tank top quickly.

Her hands were over her hand and Annie quickly grabbed them there for them to stay in place. She held Hitch's wrists tightly as her lips went lower. The shivers were sent down her spine as she heard the other one sigh deeply, when she begun to such on her collarbone.

Hitch closed her eyes under the strong grip on her wrists, gentle kisses on her body and warm fingers unlocking her bra. She bit her bottom lip harshly as she felt the woman's hand going for the button in her jeans and mouth slowly wandering on her breast.

She grew impatient with her partner's slow actions so the moment she felt Annie sliding down her pants, she quickly made them vanish.

The woman on top of her seemed to not like it and she showed it to her by biting her nipple a but hard.

"Annie." She hissed as the sudden lack of pleasure hit her. "Fuck." She almost moaned when it didn't take much time before the other woman begun to please her again.

The mixture of her tongue traveling on her chest and her hand brushing her thigh made her breathless. It almost made her forget that her hands are trapped under the strong grip of the other one.

"Kiss me." She whispered a shy wish.

"Why?" Annie asked teasingly when her position changed and their faces were centimeters from each other.

"Please." She let out heavily and her while body became more loose than it should have. But who was Annie to judge? She truly enjoyed seeing her being weakened and fully on her mercy.

"I didn't even started and you are already begging for something." She made a comment and waited for the sarcastic response, but it didn't came. The woman beneath her was staring at her lips like she saw them for the first time.

She decided to stop giving a fundamentals of an argument between them and gave in for the kiss. She felt her lips not for the first time in that night, but her body still let out its guard and weakened itself.

Hitch took that chance and gripped Annie's hips between her thighs and threw them over, so she was on top. Her hands were finally free so she wasted no time and immediately put them around her neck.

"I can't believe it was that easy." She fixed her hair as she whispered it.

"You aren't at any set right now, you don't have to act, Little Miss I'm So Good At My Job." She rolled her eyes as she mold so quickly under Hitch's words that, if course, seemed unnatural and out of place to her, but she couldn't hesitate when she put on that desperate look on her face. Even though it was acting, it looked too good on her to not fullfiil her wishes.

"Little Miss Naive Blondie." She laughed, still too proud from the outcome of her behaviour.

"Little Miss Can't Sit In One Place." She continued a joke and got closer the her lips.

"Little Miss I Need To Be In Control."

"Little Miss Needs To Be The Most Important Person In The Room."

"World. The most important person in the world." She corrected her and Annie looked at her, like she will do anything for her to feel like this.

Hitch kissed her cheek and went lower, seeking for a new spot to mark. But Annie had enough of kisses.

She put off the last pieces of her clothing and her hand squeezed her tight to pish her onto her more. She wanted to see her whole nude body more clearly but it was difficult with her head on her shoulder, sucking in her skin.

Her hand traveled up her leg and as she finally reached the place in between her legs, they both stopped for a second, with Hitch beginning to breathe heavily on her neck while holding it tightly and Annie waiting for the other one's respond.

"Tell me if you want to stop, okay?" She whispered into her hair and the woman on her murmed an agreement with her mind arleady dreamy and drunk into a visualization of her next moves.

She kissed the top of her head gently before slowly sliding her finger into her. Hitch's back arched and her nails drew white lines on he lover's back. She felt the second finger and stopped thinking about anything else. She put her forehead on top of hers and closed her eyes before she begun to move.

This was not what Annie has expected but she still gave in and started to analyse every bit of action happening in front of her sight. The sweat on her body. Almost closed green eyes. And opened mouth.

She was sure, she did not enjoyed when a person was on top of her, but with the view like that, she thought that it isn't that bad as she thought it is.

Her free hand was brushing her back gently as Hitch's moves became more confident and she got more comfortable with that position. She pulled back and their foreheads stopped touching as she straightened herself. She fixed her hair and her hand stopped there for few moments.

"Are you just going to silently observe?" She asked teasingly as she became weirded out by her behaviour, not stopping her actions for one seconds.

"I guess I'm used to this." Annie stated not moved by a comment and still stated at the other one's body pleasing itself on her fingers.

And she, in fact, did not lie. She couldn't count the amount of times she sit alone in her apartment watching a live stream of the actress's interview, wishing she was there with her instead. The amount if times they went out with their group and as she begun to share her new story, she felt like she is drowning in the tone of her voice. The amount of times, she looked at her when she was the most vulnerable, in her sleep, simply trying to remember the most form her face.

Hitch's hands gripped tighlty on her neck to keep her balance as her breathe became unstable and the first moans formed in the back of her throat.

"Annie." She moaned tilted her head back from plesure.

"Hitch." She called her back teasingly and got closer to her chest to make her feel even more wanted.

She watched expression of the actress's face and her eyes slowly went down with its observation. Absorbing every moment, every curve, every sound and every move. Her gaze stopped wandering as she reached the bottom of her stomach and she was just watching the way it is moving over her fingers.

"You are so pretty." She whispered still not moving her eyes from the other one's hips.

After a minute or two, she leaned back onto the wall to have a better view of Hitch above her. The actress did not last long on her own, without Annie's shoulder to keep her balance, so her left hand quickly went on the pillow over Annie's collarbone and her rught hand went on her muscular stomach.

Her back went into a full arch as her orgasm reached her with a loud moan escaping from her mouth. Later on, she just let out uncontrollable gasps as her body began to collect itself. When Annie noticed that her love is fully finished and she needs to take a break, she put out her wer fingers and brudhed them off on the blanket beneath her.

Annie's lips grinned teasingly as another minutes passed with Hitch still heavy breathing, collecting herself, not moving her body a bit still leaning over her. She chuckled as she saw the woman's thighs trembling.

"Don't be that proud of yourself." Hitch rolled her eyes when she noticed how confident Annie looks like after her orgasm.

"Who are you to lecture me about being too proud and too confident, Dreyse?" She responded while putting all of her body weight on her elbows.

"You think you really did something special, don't you?" She put their faces closer and they locked challenging eye contact.

"I thought not everybody gets to sleep with Hitch Dreyse." She raised her eyebrows.

"Maybe not everyone, but you need to do more to justify being that proud of yourself." She murmed and it was that moment of their conversation they just share nonsense sentences just to continue playing with each other.

"It wasn't enough for you? You think you can handle more?" She tilted her head and her hand traveled around her thigh teasingly.

"I don't think, I know." She changed her position to be more comfortable and Annie's hand moved to her back. "And also, you barely did anything."

"You still liked it." She answered while her hand was brushing her back. "And I really don't think you could handle it all if I did more."

"I definitely can do more than you."

"Prove it." Annie challenged her and make herself comfortable on the pillow. When she just laid there without further explanation Hitch git annoyed.

"And what am I supposed to do now?"

"Anything. I'm all yours, let's see if you really are that better than me." She closed her eyes and put her hand on her forehead.

The actress blushed and begun to stare at her body, wondering what to do further. She felt like Annie is not the type who will just... Gave in... But she did. And she seemed so good with this. It was surprising for her how much she can still discover about the blonde.

Her fingers wandered around her chest while she admired her beauty. She was beautiful like a cold, winter morning. Everywhere you look you see snow which is like her pale, white skin. Her icy eyes ere the frozen lake and her light hair is the sun that is just starting to warm the weather up. Her little scar on her neck she got when she was a kid is silverish like a sky. Body strongly shaped from training like icicles forming on the edge of the roof with drops of water falling of them, like her sweat, or tears does.

"You are..." Hitch started, feeling like after all the compliments Annie gave her today, she needs to payback and not only hold the comments on her look to herself.

But then she heard a phone buzzing and all of the atmosphere was gone within that second.

She rolled her eyes and Annie took her hand of her forehead. It was her phone, she slowly got up to reach for it as it was on the bedside table, but Hitch strongly pushed her back on the pillow.

"No distractions." She said as the woman beneath her fell. The actress grabbed her phone and her heart stopped when she saw the name written on it.

Lillian.

"What the fuck?" She calls out more to herself than to the owner of the device. "Why the fuck is she calling you?"

Annie looked shocked and a bit horrified. Is one call enough to take all of the build up down? Their new starting relationship? Their bright future?

"Who exactly?" She whispered and tries to stand up to have her phone, but gets once again placed back on the mattress.

"You fucking ex that, I guess, you got back to." Hitch called out angrily a d almost threw the phone away as she saw another call coming. She was full of rage. Anger and jealousy grew in her as she wondered of every way Annie could hide her relationship with her ex from her. She felt hurt because it was like Annie doesn't want to be honest with her all the time.

And now they are sleeping with each other? What if it actually means nothing and the woman is just a cheater searching for a relief in world famous actress?

All of the years the spent together seemed to escape from Hitch's mind, all of their trust and moments of truth with only one call. She went panic, holding her hand on Annie's collarbone so she won't move anywhere.

Lilian
ANSWER

Sounded the text the phone recieved.

Lilian
YOU SCARED?
YOU REGRET MAKING ME A FOOL?
I PROMISE YOU THAT YOU WILL BE ALONE
SHE WILL NEVER
EVER
WANT TO BE WITH SOMEONE LIKE YOU
HOPELESS FUCKING ROMANTIC

"What?" Hitch murmed to herself as another messages were coming.

Lilian
I can't believe you choose Hitch goddamn Dreyse from all of the people
You had me and you still decided to chase her?
You'll end up lonely because of her
Saw the news? Or maybe she called you to tell you in person?
That Joshua and her thing is MASSIVE
I knew you'd want to come back to me
Now you will
But I say no
Suffer in your lonely asylum you build yourself
Lust over her and even if you tell her I can only imagine how much she will begin to hate you

"For how long have you like me, Leonhardt?" She chuckled and as the woman started to raise, she pushed her back again. "Don't move, respond." She commanded with a proud smirk, locking away any movements coming from Annie's arms by placing her knees on her shoulders.

"Does it really matter?" She groaned embarrassed. What did she read she suddenly stopped caring for why she is still getting texts from her? From where did it came from?

"Yeah." She murmed with her eyes still on the phone, reading the next messages.

"Ignore it, please." She asked her and placed her head on the pillows.

"Tell me first." Hitch played around, closing the phone and throwing it harshly. It landed on the floor and Annie flinched under the sound of the device falling.

"Careful." She almost shouted but a finger was quickly placed upon her mouth.

"Don't worry, I could buy you ten of them." She winked and lowered her body. She could see the woman rolling her eyes as she reminded her of her wealth and fame.

But she didn't care about it much, she was in the mood to tease, to play, to share nonsense comments. She wondered for how long Annie has liked her and for how long she hide it. She wanted to find out the fastest she can, but also making it to embarrass her as much as she can.

She also deducted that Annie's last break up was caused by her and she was a major problem in her heart for a long time. And nobody who found out believed they could make it up as the couple. Hitch loved doing surprising things, she wondered how the world will react if she announce being together with a random girl from her high school.

She wondered how Lilian would react if she saw them right now.

Those thoughts were selfish, egoistic but they sent shivers down her spine and gave her a mood of excitement and overall happiness.

"What? You too shy to kiss me?" Annie called her out as the silence continued and she noticed that the actress was staring at her lips.

"Maybe... You are just stunning, let me adore for a minute or so." She answered in a dreamy tone and shaped her position different way for it to be more comfortable for both of them. She was now between Annie's thighs and her hand was slowly putting off her belt while she still observed her face. "You look sweet with so much pink on your cheeks, y'know?"

The so called pink grew onto her neck as her jeans loosen up and she begun to slid them out of her. It surprised her, Hitch's inaction. She expected something more unplanned, chaotic not gentle brushed and lovely observing in total silent, sometimes interrupted by a nice little comment or a giggle.

When the actress begun to kiss her, it was like the first flowers are blooming at the beginning of spring. It was their contrast, Hitch's warm, springly like personality was melting away the snow and frozen lakes around Annie. Their lips, bodies and moves matched each other, dancing perfectly like the nature itself set it like this. Winter and spring, always next to each other, logical outcome of one another, you cannot imagine one without the arrive of the other, warm and cold, sun and moon. Hitch and Annie. And it was all the same.

They were melting into each others touch like they felt it for the first time and Hitch just went lower, sometimes stopping mid through marking her to chuckle, giggle or just look at the blonde. Joy went through all of her as she noticed her chest moving more shakingly and out of beat. She kissed her stomach right in the middle while tracing new tracks on her thighs.

"Don't forget to breathe." She giggled into her hip as Annie's behaviour became more and more impatient, exited and maybe a bit scared with her breathing hardly through her mouth to calm herself down.

"Fuck off." She sighed as Hitch marked her left thigh.

"You won't make me leave that easily now that I have you." She giggled and locked eye contact before taking a first delicate kiss in-between her legs. "Talk to me, please."

"No, thank you." She tried to play it off nonchalantly as her body let out signs of excitement.

"We'll see about that." She whispered before she begun to suck onto her.

It started with few licks, testing out boundaries before making bigger steps. At first, she wanted to be harsh, confident, making her be at the very edge the whole time. But as she noticed how vulnerable, fragile and maybe even a bit shy Annie is, looking like she is still unsure about the power she gave her she changed her mind. She knew she was one wrong move from causing harm and not pleasure and she knew how much it cost Annie to trust someone, she didn't wanted to abuse her little bit of power she got from her.

She was gentle, analysing every reaction of Annie's body after her every move. Waiting for an agreement after she did something new, new move, new rhythm, new placement. She was wondering what she likes the most not pushing anything to far. She had no idea she could grow that gentle with someone in a scenario like this.

Hitch Dreyse never played a role like this.

She was being casted as jorky, sarcastic female lead or tragically beautiful love interest. From time to time being a morally gray antagonist or innocent protagonist. But she never realised she could truly be like this. Patient, caring, gentle. Maybe she had to be like this in few roles, maybe she played them amazingly, but she could never guessed she could be so delicate while being herself.

"Are you okay?" She asked after letting her lover gasp or take a deeper breath few times. Annie nodded and closed her eyes because she didn't really enjoyed being stared at like this. Or maybe she was a bit embarrassed by the affection, she'll never know. "Any advice?"

"You are wasting your mouth while talking." She somehow manage to think of confident and teasing respond but it came to her suprise how shaken she was.

Hitch laughed and, as Annie commented, she stopped wasting her mouth and started to get to her point. Setting the rhythm they both enjoyed the most and making her position more comfortable. Her hands were holding her thighs for stability and also for keeping Annie's legs open as she notice the blonde tend to close them the closer she gets.

Annie covered her mouth lightly with her hand when the first pleased sounds began to form in her throat. After a while, she didn't know what Hitch was doing to her, everything mixing into one so she had problems telling which move is which, but whatever was happening to her, it was good. Hitch was good at what she was doing.

She didn't expect for her back to arch so quickly and her groans growing that loud under the touch of the actress, but after a while, she stopped caring for her appearance. Her mind became foggy and dreamy, hardly registering what was happening around her with the only thing she payed attention for was her head between her thighs. She could also feel her eyes on her, the look full of affection and adoration that didn't care how sweaty she was and how her body reacted to her.

Not caring for her flaws and weird looking features. Adoring the gap between her teeth and Roman nose, muscular body many people hated and a bit greasy blonde hair. Annie felt her gaze calling her perfect and it meant more than a hundred of words.

"Hitch..." She spoke up her name as her climax reached her, feeling like she has to tell her something, even if it is unnecessary, unmeaningfull but it was like her tongue escaped from her mouth once the orgasm came.

Her back arched and her mouth couldn't keep up with air escaping from her lungs. Her legs went towards each other which got answered with Hitch's groan as her head was a bit squeezed. But she seemed to quickly forget about it and continued to suck onto her orgasm.

As fast as it came, it left. Her thighs loosen up and Hitch changed her place so now she was laying on her stomach as she watched Annie collecting herself. She reached out her hand and brushed her finger on it.

"I definitely did better than you." Old, sarcastic Hitch came back with a cocky smile and a reference that definitely will start another little argument between them.

"Maybe." She rolled her eyes, not wanting to agree that easily with her.

"Only maybe?" She said, acting offended. "I am more than a maybe."

"Maybe." She answered with a dreamy tone but the sudden pinch on her waist woke her back to life. "Ugh, fine, you were... Fine." Another pinch in the same place, this one a bit harder. "God, let me live, I don't plan to boost your ego tonight."

"You already did but it won't harm to boost it a bit more." She stated with a proud smile loving the way still destroyed Annie still wanted to do a little, unmeaningfull chit chat with her.

"I didn't do anything for you ego tonight." She responded, feeling that her mind is starting to get sleepy. She quickly regretted saying anything when Hitch begun to mimic her moans and heavy breathe, calling out her own name from time to time. "Stop, I get it."

She giggled at her and rested her head on her chest, locking an eye contact with Annie while holding her hand, tangling their fingers together. She stared at her and noticed how hard she is trying not to fall asleep for her, she decided to use that will to make promises that she'll fulfill in the future and if she won't, she will give up everything she gained in her life.

"In a month or so I am leaving to Stockholm to film another movie." She announced. "I'd love you to come there with me, for a week or maybe two, depends on how long you can not be at your job."

"And what am I gonna do there?" She asked while closing her eyes, letting her sweet words soother her to sleep.

"I will reserve the table at the restaurant with he best look at the town. A dinner in the restaurant as fancy as the one from tonight, except it will be only the two of us." She watched her features and began to imagine how they would look at the mentioned dinner. "A date, if you want to call it something better than a meeting in Stockholm. You'll order whatever you want, everything on my cost and nobody will even try to interrupt our night together."

"And you need a while week from my life for it?" She joked, trying to hide how much she enjoy the vision of their date.

"Don't worry, I can offer you much more than that." She promised in a lovely tone and after a moment of silence she spoke again. "I will dress you up like a Barbie doll so you won't show up in that stupid white hoodie of yours. My apartment will have a queen size bed and I will bake you ant sweets you like."

"You know spoiling me like a princess doesn't impress me."

"God, you can't even take something nice said towards you like a normal person." She whined. "What else am I supposed to say? I will never ever smoke because you hate the scent of cigarettes? I will adopt a white haired Persian cat for us and name it Fedora? I will let you get up at 4 AM for that stupid gym? This count as spoiling too!"

"Well that cat is a need in my life so you can start with it." She adviced jokingly. "And no, we won't name it anything else than Fedora."

Hitch blushed lightly as innocent, little "we" reached her ears and she realized, it wasn't the first time they called each other this in that particular way.

"Why?" She asked, wanting to find out about every secret Annie hides.

"It's an old Russian name, normally used for cats but also my friend from my hometown was named it, even though she was not a cat. It was her signature, being name like a cat." She explained.

"Didnt know you were that nostalgic."

"Maybe this, or maybe I just really like that name."

"I found this really childish to fight over a cat's name that much, mon chaton." She nicknamed her, using her national language with a smirk.

"What does that mean?" Annie wanted to find out and when the woman acted clueless she groaned and said. "That mon something you called me."

"Maybe I just called you a moron." She laughed but quickly stopped when she felt someone pinching her at her nape. "Okay, okay, I called you Mon chaton."

"I still don't understand French, Идиот." She decided to play her game and answer her in her own national language, Hitch does not understand as well.

"Annie, I may not understand russian that much but I know when you are calling me an idiot." She sighed and went upwards so now, her head was resting on top of her shoulder, still gently brushing the woman's hand. "Also, I think that Mon chaton only sounds good in french. In English it sound... Silly."

"No matter what you say in English, you will always sound silly with that oui oui accent of yours."

"Ha ha, never have I ever heard a joke like this." She rolled her eyes and after a moment of silence, she hugged into her a bit more and whispered. "It means my kitty if you really want to know."

"You were right, it really do sounds stupid." She agreed and a yawn interrupted her speech. "You are a очень красивая женщина, y'know?"

"No, I don't. I have no idea what you called me." She said while closing her eyes, feeling all of the experiences of tonight all on her. "But I will definitely call you ma petite amie for the rest of my life. Promesse."

They both grew to tired to continue their teasing conversation with the mix of french and russian. They slowly fell asleep with a feeling of safety that when they wake up, it won't turn out to be a dream, that their future will look like this and it will be very bright.

It was a promise. Annie didn't know french that much but this one word was one thing she understood. Promesse. Promise. And she knew that was a promise you'll do everything to fullfill.
