A little gift for you, 6 chapters at once
Chapter 88: Connecting with Fans
It was a quiet afternoon in the new home that Gabriel and Stassie shared. Stassie was in the living room, lying on the couch, with her phone in her hand. After a morning workout, she decided to relax a bit and interact with her followers on Instagram, something that was part of her routine.
While Gabriel was organizing some equipment in the next room, Stassie opened the "question box" feature on Stories. Her fans loved to know details about her personal and professional life, and she enjoyed sharing light moments with them.
"Okay, guys, send me your questions," she said, holding up her phone and smiling. "I'll answer some while I enjoy this lazy afternoon."
Questions started coming in almost instantly, ranging from curiosities about fashion, her workout routine, and, of course, about Gabriel.
"Where are you going next?" Stassie responded excitedly: "I don't know yet, but Gabriel and I are thinking about taking a road trip down the California coast. Any suggestions?"
Another question came up: "What do you love most about Gabriel?"
She smiled and recorded: "What's not to love? He's protective, caring, funny, and makes me feel like the most special woman in the world."
Then the question came up: "What was the last show you and Gabriel watched together?"
Stassie's eyes widened and she laughed softly. "That's a good one!" she said as she pressed record.
"The last show we watched was Special Ops: Lioness. We loved it! It's full of action and has amazing characters. But the best part was watching it with Gabriel."
She paused, thinking for a moment, and continued. "As you know, he has a lot of experience in this kind of thing, so it was hilarious to hear his comments. He said that the stunts were really well done and that you could tell that the actors and actresses really trained. I think that's high praise coming from someone like him, right?"
As Stassie finished answering, Gabriel appeared in the room, drying his hands with a towel. "What are you up to?" he asked, noticing the amused smile on her face.
"Answering questions on Stories," she said, showing her phone. "I just told you that we watched Lioness and you were really complimenting your observations."
Gabriel chuckled. "Oh, did you tell me that I was analyzing every stunt?"
"Of course! People love to know what you think," she replied. "And you looked like a movie critic that night."
Gabriel sat down next to her, resting his arm on the back of the couch. "I just said what I saw. They did a good job. It's not every day that Hollywood gets the details of tactics and movement right."
Stassie pressed the record button again. "Guys, Gabriel is here with me. He confirms that he loved the show and that the action scenes were really well done!"
Gabriel, somewhat reluctantly, gave the camera a slight smile and waved. "Yeah, I told you they really trained. I could tell."
Stassie laughed as she ended the Story. "Now you're officially on my Instagram, commenting on shows!"
In the next few minutes, the notifications started coming in. People loved seeing Gabriel appear, even if briefly, in Stassie's Stories.
One follower commented: "I knew Gabriel would like Lioness! This show is just like him!"
Another wrote: "I loved the interaction! Gabriel is always so serious, but you can see that with Stassie he loosens up."
Stassie laughed as she read the comments and showed some to Gabriel. "Look, they're saying you should do consulting for shows like this."
Gabriel shrugged. "Maybe it's just an idea, but I think they're doing well on their own. I just hope they keep getting better."
"Or maybe you should star in a series," she teased. "Imagine that, Gabriel: the lead in an action drama!"
"Leave that to the actors," he replied, laughing. "I'll have my own quiet life here with you."
After interacting with her followers a little more, Stassie put her phone aside and snuggled into Gabriel's chest. "I love sharing these things with people. It makes me feel more connected to them."
"It's good that you have that connection," he said, stroking her hair. "But it's even better when you can keep a balance. You know when it's time to disconnect and enjoy the real moment."
She looked up at him with a smile. "You always know how to say the right thing, don't you?"
"Practice makes perfect," he teased, kissing her on the forehead.
The next day, gossip and entertainment portals were already publishing about Stassie's Story and Gabriel's comments.
"Stassie and Gabriel reveal their favorite series of the moment: Special Ops: Lioness. See what the former security guard thought of the action scenes!"
"Gabriel approves: Action series receives compliments from the most qualified man to judge!"
Fans of the series began commenting on social media, tagging both Stassie and Gabriel, saying how much they loved knowing that they watched it together.
"I knew Gabriel would approve of this series! He is the epitome of an elite operator."
"Stassie and Gabriel are the perfect couple even when it comes to choosing series! I want to watch Lioness now to see what they saw."
The feedback was positive, and the interaction helped to further humanize the relationship between the two and the audience.
Stassie was happy to see the warm reception, but what made her happiest was sharing these little moments with Gabriel, showing that, even in the simplest things, they were a team.
Chapter 89: Recognition for "Lioness"
The backlash over Stassie and Gabriel's Stories praising Special Ops: Lioness did not go unnoticed by the show's creators and cast. For days, social media was filled with fans of the show and the couple, sharing excerpts from the Stories and commenting on Gabriel's fun interaction and technical praise. For the cast and crew, receiving this kind of recognition was a source of pride.
At the Paramount+ offices, where the series was distributed, Lioness' director and creator Taylor Sheridan was sitting in a meeting when his assistant walked in with a tablet in her hand.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I think you're going to want to see this," she said, handing him the device.
Sheridan looked at the screen curiously and saw Stassie's Stories where Gabriel praised the action scenes. He pressed play again, paying attention to the moment Gabriel mentioned the actors' training.
"Is this serious?" he asked, chuckling softly. "The guy complimented our show? That's the former security guard everyone's talking about, right?"
"Yes, sir," the assistant replied. "Apparently, he has a lot of military experience and was super thorough in his comments."
Sheridan smiled with satisfaction. "Well, that's exactly the kind of feedback we want. We'll reach out to him and say thanks. Maybe we'll even invite him to visit the set next season."
Meanwhile, Zoe Saldaña, who played one of the show's leads, was at home reading some comments on Instagram when she saw a post from a fan tagging her on Stassie's Stories.
"Look at this!" she exclaimed, showing her phone to her husband. "Stassie and her boyfriend watched our show and loved it!"
Zoe pressed the replay button and laughed when Gabriel appeared on the Story, serious but sincere, praising the work of the actors and actresses.
"This guy knows what he's talking about," her husband commented. "I hear he has an impressive background." Zoe agreed. "That just makes the compliment even more meaningful. I think I'll share this post."
She took to Instagram and reposted Stassie's Story, adding the caption, "So grateful for the love and compliments! Hard work pays off when we get this kind of recognition. Thank you Stassie and Gabriel!"
A short time later, during a virtual meet-up with some of the cast to discuss promotional events, Laysla De Oliveira, another standout actress, brought up the topic.
"Did you guys see what happened to Stassie Karanikolaou's Stories?" Laysla asked, looking at her castmates on the call.
"Of course!" Zoe replied, laughing. "It's all over the place. Gabriel is basically an expert in real life, and he praised our work!"
Dave Annable, who was also part of the cast, joked, "I think we can officially say we have the elite seal of approval."
Everyone laughed, but the general tone of the conversation was one of excitement. Receiving a compliment from someone with Gabriel's experience further validated the work they had put into the project.
"I hope we get to meet him someday," Laysla said. "It would be amazing to hear more about his perspective."
That same day, the show's production team decided to reach out to Stassie to say thank you. One of the producers sent Stassie a direct message on Instagram, which she read while relaxing with Gabriel in the living room.
"Gabriel, check this out!" she said excitedly, showing the message on her phone. "They're saying thank you for the compliments and they want to send us something special."
Gabriel raised his eyebrows. "Something special? What do you mean?"
"Maybe a gift or something," she replied, laughing. "They even said they'd love to invite us to visit the set next season."
Gabriel shook his head with a slight smile. "You really got me on their radar, didn't you?"
Stassie shrugged with a mischievous smile. "I was just sharing our honest opinion. But I honestly think you deserve this recognition. Your feedback about their training was super genuine."
A few days later, a large box arrived at Stassie and Gabriel's house from the Lioness production team. Inside was a handwritten letter from Taylor Sheridan and the cast, thanking them for their praise and support of the show.
"Dear Stassie and Gabriel, We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed Special Ops: Lioness. Receiving praise from someone with Gabriel's experience is an honor for us, and inspires us to continue delivering the best in each season. We hope you enjoy this gift and consider visiting us on set sometime."
Along with the letter were exclusive series T-shirts, a replica of a commemorative coin used on set, and an autographed box set with the complete first season. Gabriel took the coin in his hands and looked at it.
"That's really cool," he admitted. "They really valued our feedback."
"And they're right," Stassie said, hugging him sideways. "You have a unique perspective on this. Don't be surprised if they call you in for a real consultation someday."
Zoe Saldaña's post, along with the news that the production had sent gifts to Gabriel and Stassie, caused even more excitement on social media. Fans of the series began asking for Gabriel to be part of the next season, either as a consultant or even as a guest star.
"Gabriel in the Lioness universe? Yes, please!"
"He already has real experience. It would be amazing to see him in action on screen."
Stassie reposted the letter and gifts on her Stories, thanking the cast and crew of Lioness.
"You guys are amazing! Thank you for this special gesture. We really love the show and can't wait for the next season!"
That night, as they put away their presents, Stassie looked at Gabriel with a fond smile.
"You know, I love how everyone respects your opinion, even when you don't seek it."
Gabriel smiled back, pulling her close. "I just try to be honest. But I think they deserve credit for doing such a good job."
"And maybe I deserve credit, too," she teased. "If it weren't for me, no one would have known what you thought of the show."
He laughed, kissing her on the forehead. "You're always right, aren't you?"
"Always," she replied, laughing, as they both settled into the couch to watch another episode of Lioness, now with a new layer of appreciation for the hard work of the team behind the show.
Chapter 90: A Trip to the Coast
Gabriel and Stassie had been planning a trip to the California coast for weeks. They were both looking forward to some alone time, away from the routine, the media, and their increasingly busy schedules. With the car already packed and the itinerary mapped out, they set off at dawn, ready to enjoy every moment together.
Their first stop was Malibu, where they decided to have breakfast at a beachfront restaurant. The view was stunning: the blue sea glistened in the morning sun, and the sound of the waves created a relaxing atmosphere. Gabriel wore a tight white T-shirt that highlighted his muscular arms, while Stassie opted for a light dress and a straw hat that made her look like she had stepped out of a fashion editorial.
"What a view," Gabriel commented, looking both at the sea and at Stassie, who smiled as she stirred her coffee.
"The coast or me?" she joked, tilting her head.
"You always do," he replied, with a smile that made Stassie blush slightly.
After breakfast, they walked hand in hand along the beach. The warm sand beneath their feet and the sound of the seagulls made them feel like they were exactly where they were supposed to be. Gabriel, in his playful way, took a moment to give Stassie a light slap on the butt as she gazed out at the horizon.
"Hey!" she exclaimed, laughing and turning to him. "You can't help it, can you?"
"No way," he replied with a mischievous smile. "It's impossible."
Back in the car, Stassie put on an upbeat playlist while Gabriel drove. They sang along, laughing when they got the words wrong, and made spontaneous stops whenever something interesting came their way: a flea market in Ventura, a scenic overlook in Santa Barbara, and even a candy store in a small town.
"You're going to have to help me eat all of this," Stassie said, holding up a bag full of candy and chocolates she'd bought at the store.
"No problem," Gabriel replied. "But don't complain when I carry you around later."
"Carry? Oh, really?" she challenged.
Gabriel parked the car in a quiet area and gently pulled her out. Before she knew it, he'd lifted her into the air as if she weighed nothing.
"See? Easy," he said, as Stassie laughed.
"Okay, okay, you win! Put me down!"
As night fell, they arrived at their hotel in Big Sur, a secluded spot with rustic cabins surrounded by giant redwoods. The sound of the nearby river and the fresh forest air created a perfect setting for relaxation.
As soon as they entered the cabin, Stassie admired the cozy decor with a fireplace, plush rugs, and a huge bed covered in white comforters.
"This is a dream," she said, turning in the center of the room.
Gabriel set her bags down and, without warning, reached out to wrap her in his arms. "You're the dream," he whispered, kissing her softly.
After a shower together, where Gabriel's hands couldn't seem to stay away from Stassie's waist and curves, they decided to open a bottle of wine and enjoy the fireplace. Sitting on the rug, with Stassie leaning against his chest, she sighed.
"These moments make it all worth it, you know?"
"I know," Gabriel replied, kissing the top of her head. "You make me want more of this. More moments like this, more of you."
Stassie turned to look into his eyes. "I love you," she said, her voice thick with emotion.
Gabriel smiled and replied, without hesitation.
"I love you too."
The next day, they arrived in Carmel-by-the-Sea, a charming coastal village. They strolled the cobblestone streets, explored art galleries, and, at Stassie's insistence, visited a wine shop.
"You know I'm spoiling you rotten, right?" Gabriel joked, holding her shopping bags.
"Of course," Stassie replied, winking. "And I love it."
That afternoon, they decided to watch the sunset on the beach. Sitting on the sand, with a blanket covering them, they sat in silence for a while, just enjoying the beauty of the moment.
"You know what this makes me think of?" Stassie asked, breaking the silence.
"What?"
"How I want us to have more moments like this in the future. Maybe… with a family," she said, a little hesitantly.
Gabriel looked at her with a warm smile. "I would love that. You would be the most amazing mother."
Stassie smiled, feeling even more in love with him.
The last destination of the trip was San Francisco. They decided to spend the afternoon exploring the city, walking along Pier 39, taking pictures at the Golden Gate Bridge, and taking a trolley ride.
As they walked down Lombard Street, Stassie held Gabriel's hand and said, "I've never been happier in my life than I am right now."
"That's because we're together," he replied. "And it's going to stay that way."
At the hotel that night, Stassie couldn't help but laugh as she recalled the day's adventures. "And to think that It all started with you teaching me how to shoot," she teased.
"I think I won you over there," he replied, winking.
"No, Gabriel. You win me over every day," she said, kissing him passionately.
When they finally returned home, they were both renewed. The drive along the coast had not only reinforced their love for each other, but it had also made them realize that they were on the right path.
"Now it's your turn to plan our next adventure," Stassie said as she unpacked her bags.
"Absolutely," Gabriel replied, giving her ass a playful slap.
"Gabriel!" she cried, laughing and turning to face him.
"What? I can't resist," he replied with an innocent smile.
Stassie rolled her eyes, but couldn't help but smile. Gabriel was everything she had ever wanted, and more.
Chapter 91: Sharing Memories
After returning from their road trip along the California coast, Stassie was excited to share the moments she had shared with Gabriel. The photos they had taken along the way had perfectly captured the beauty of the landscapes, but most of all, they had shown the intense connection between the two. Sitting on the couch in the living room, Stassie opened her phone's camera roll and began selecting the best images to post.
"Which one do you think is the best?" Stassie asked, holding the phone out to Gabriel, who was sitting in the kitchen, drinking a coffee.
Gabriel stood up and walked over to her, a smile on his face. He looked at the photos on the screen, which showed the couple's time in Malibu, Big Sur, Carmel, and San Francisco.
"This one," he said, pointing to a photo of the two of them sitting on the sand, wrapped in a blanket, with the sunset in the background. "It's my favorite."
"It's really beautiful," Stassie agreed. "But maybe I'll post more than one. I think people will enjoy seeing the different places we've been."
"I'm sure they will," Gabriel replied, leaning in to kiss her on the forehead. "You have great taste."
Stassie smiled, loving the compliment. She began to compose her Instagram caption while Gabriel returned to his coffee.
"How about: 'Unforgettable moments with my love on the California coast. Every place a new memory. Couldn't have been more perfect.' What do you think?"
Gabriel laughed lightly. "It's perfect, but it's your post. Put your feelings into it."
After a few tweaks to the caption, Stassie added the photos to the carousel. Among the images were:
A selfie of the couple in Malibu, with the ocean in the background.
A photo in Big Sur, where Gabriel had his arm around Stassie as she looked out at the view.
The photo in Carmel, sitting on the beach at sunset.
A candid snap of the two of them laughing on a streetcar in San Francisco. Before posting, she added a soft filter to highlight the natural colors and tagged Gabriel in the post.
As soon as she hit "share," she turned to him and said, "There you go. Now the world knows how amazing this trip was."
"I'm sure it's going to blow up," Gabriel said as he rinsed out his coffee cup. "You know how people love to follow your life."
It didn't take long for Stassie's post to start gaining traction. Within minutes, notifications of likes and comments began popping up nonstop on her phone.
"Look at this," she said, showing Gabriel her phone. "It's already got 200,000 likes in 10 minutes!"
"That's normal for you, right?" he joked, sitting down next to her on the couch.
The comments were a mix of compliments to the couple and reactions to the places they visited:
"You guys are the most beautiful couple! ❤️"
"Stassie and Gabriel = couple goals. I want a trip like that too."
"The scenery is beautiful, but nothing beats the love you share. You can see it in your eyes."
"Gabriel, the man of my dreams! Stassie, you nailed it!"
Stassie laughed when she read a more daring comment: "Gabriel, make a tutorial on how to be this perfect!"
"It seems like you have a growing fan club," she teased.
"Oh, really?" Gabriel replied, smiling. "Well, I only have eyes for you."
She rolled her eyes playfully, but couldn't hide her smile.
Soon, the notifications started to include comments from the Kardashian-Jenner family. Kylie was one of the first to comment:
Kylie Jenner: "I love the photos! You two are perfect together. ❤️"
Shortly after, Kendall also joined the conversation:
Kendall Jenner: "Ok, but where's the next invite for a trip like this? I'm jealous of these views."
Even Khloé made her mark:
Khloé Kardashian: "I can't wait to hear more stories about this trip. It sounds amazing!"
Stassie laughed as she read the comments and responded to each one, promising to share more details when they saw each other.
While Gabriel and Stassie were enjoying the day peacefully, the posts began to circulate on social media and entertainment sites. Famous portals, such as TMZ and E! News, quickly created articles about the romantic trip.
"Stassie Baby and Gabriel: A Passionate Trip Along the California Coast," read one of the headlines.
Another article focused on the places they visited and the photos they shared:
"Couple of the moment? Stassie and Gabriel show off their romance and adventure on the West Coast. Check out the photos!"
Gabriel, who usually doesn't pay much attention to the media, glanced at Stassie's phone when she mentioned the news.
"They really love keeping up with our lives, huh?" he said, his tone amused.
"Of course they do," Stassie replied. "You're the most interesting man I've ever had. People are curious."
"As long as you're happy, I'm all for it," Gabriel said, pulling her into a hug.
Later that night, as they relaxed in the living room, Stassie looked at Gabriel in awe. He was lying on the couch, reading a book, something she loved to watch.
"You know, this trip was just what I needed," she said, breaking the silence.
Gabriel put the book aside and looked at her. "Me too. It was nice to get out of the routine and have this time just for us."
"And now the whole world knows how special it was," she joked, referring to the photos.
Gabriel laughed, leaning in to kiss her. "They can know whatever they want, as long as you know how much I love you."
Stassie felt her heart melt. "I know. And I love you too."
As she rested her head on his shoulder, she thought about how grateful she was to have Gabriel in her life. Every moment together was unique, and she knew that the future with him would be even more special.
Chapter 92: The Seal Team Call-up
It was a quiet morning in Gabriel and Stassie's new home, comfortably located in the same neighborhood as the Kardashian-Jenner family. Gabriel was in the kitchen making coffee while Stassie was on her phone on the couch, checking social media and checking emails.
"Gabriel!" she yelled excitedly.
"What's up?" he replied, turning around with a cup of coffee in his hand.
Stassie stood up, running to him with her phone in her hand. "You're not going to believe it! I just got an email about you. It's from the production of the Seal Team series! They want you to do a guest spot."
Gabriel raised an eyebrow in surprise. "Really? Why?"
"Because you're perfect for the role, obviously," she said, rolling her eyes with a smile. "They want you to play a legendary CIA operative. Like, you're going to be a character who's Amanda Ellis' friend, a guy who used to be DEVGRU and became a legend."
Gabriel thought for a moment, remembering how he had praised the realistic scenes in the Lioness series a few weeks ago. He had never considered acting, but the idea didn't seem so far-fetched.
"That's kind of crazy," he said, taking a sip of his coffee. "I'm not an actor."
"So what? You've done commercials before, and they're not asking for a lead role. It's a cameo! Just be yourself," Stassie encouraged.
"I don't know…"
"Please, Gabriel!" she insisted, taking his hands in hers. "This is going to be amazing. And honestly, you've been through this kind of thing before. There's no one better than you to bring authenticity to the role."
Gabriel looked at Stassie's hopeful face and sighed. "Okay, I'll at least talk to them. But only because you asked."
A few days later, Gabriel was called in for a meeting with the producers of Seal Team. Dressed casually, he walked into the studio in Los Angeles, to a warm welcome from the crew.
"Gabriel! It's a pleasure to meet you," one of the producers said, shaking his hand. "Thank you for agreeing to come and talk to us."
"It's my pleasure," Gabriel replied, a little uncomfortable with all the attention.
They led him to a conference room where the director and some of the writers were also present. On the wall were storyboards for the new season, with scenes of combat and covert operations.
"We've heard a lot about you," the director began. "And we thought you'd be perfect for a role we're developing. We want you to play a former DEVGRU who now works for the CIA as a Ground Branch operative, someone who is highly respected and feared. Your character would be a friend of Amanda Ellis, someone she calls when she needs something out of the ordinary."
Gabriel was impressed by the attention to detail. "Sounds interesting. But why me?"
"Authenticity," the director replied immediately. "We know you have real experience in the situations we portray. Plus, your physical presence and background make you perfect for the role. We're not looking for a regular actor, but someone who can bring real life to the screen."
After discussing more details, including the scenes he would appear in and the character's impact on the plot, Gabriel finally agreed. "Okay, I'll do it. But I'll warn you right now, I'm not a seasoned actor."
"That's what will make it more genuine," the producer said with a smile.
Over the next few days, Gabriel immersed himself in preparation. He met with stage managers and received guidance from seasoned actors in the cast, including David Boreanaz, who played Jason Hayes.
During a rehearsal, David approached Gabriel. "Man, I hear you have an interesting background. I'm excited to see you in action."
Gabriel laughed. "Let's see how I do. This is my first time acting."
"Relax," David said, patting him on the shoulder. "We're here to help you. And from what I've heard, you've experienced things that we've only pretended to."
On the day of the shoot, Gabriel arrived early on set. He dressed in full costume: a black tactical outfit, complete with bulletproof vest and fake weapons that mimicked real ones. As he looked in the mirror, he couldn't help but think back to his days in COMANF.
"Ready to get into character?" the director asked, approaching.
"It feels like I've gone back in time," Gabriel replied.
The scene they were going to film involved his character, named Ethan "Rogue" Carter, meeting Amanda Ellis at a secret location to offer support on an urgent mission.
The shoot began with Amanda (played by Jessica Paré) waiting in a dark room. The sound of steady footsteps echoed through the room until Gabriel entered the scene, removing a hood that covered his face.
"Ellis," he said, his voice deep and confident. "What do you need this time?"
Jessica, in her role, responded: "You know I don't call you unless it's serious, Rogue. I have an operation going on and I need to someone with your... skills."
Gabriel walked slowly around the room, his imposing presence filling the space. "If you're calling me, it's because no one else can handle this. Tell me what I need to know."
The interaction was intense, full of tension and mutual respect between the characters. The director was impressed by Gabriel's ease, despite his inexperience.
"Cut! Perfect!" the director shouted, as the crew applauded.
Gabriel relaxed, smiling slightly as Jessica approached. "You did great," she said.
"Thanks. I think I'm getting the hang of it," he replied modestly.
After filming was finished, Gabriel returned home, where Stassie was eagerly awaiting him.
"So? How was it?" she asked, running to hug him.
"It was... different," he admitted. "But I kind of liked it. I think I did a good job."
"I'm sure you nailed it," Stassie said, pulling him down onto the couch. "And now, I can't wait to watch it!"
Gabriel laughed, kissing her on the forehead. "Let's see how the audience reacts first."
"They're going to love it," she said confidently. "You're a legend, both in real life and now on TV."
As they lounged together, Gabriel reflected on how his life had changed in the past few years. From a military operator to a security guard, and now a guest appearance on a TV series, he realized he was living experiences he never imagined possible. And the best part of all was sharing it all with Stassie, the woman who made every moment worthwhile.
Chapter 93: The Media's Surprising Reaction
The morning after the Seal Team episode aired started out peacefully for Gabriel and Stassie. They were having coffee on their porch when Stassie, her phone in hand, widened her eyes as she read something.
"Gabriel!" she exclaimed, laughing. "You're trending! Everyone's talking about your participation in Seal Team."
Gabriel frowned as he took her phone. He saw a series of headlines on social media and major news portals:
"Who is the mysterious new operator in Seal Team?"
"Former soldier turned actor? Gabriel surprises Seal Team fans with authentic performance."
"The real-life legend who is now part of fiction."
He laughed, a little awkwardly, as he read the comments. "I only had a small part. I didn't expect all this."
Stassie shook her head. "Little one? Gabriel, you stole the show! Everyone is praising your presence and saying that you seem more authentic than any other character that has appeared on the show."
Seal Team fans flooded social media with comments about Gabriel's performance. On Twitter, hashtags such as #EthanCarter, #SealTeamSurpresa and #GabrielNaTV were among the most talked about topics.
"The character Ethan Carter REALLY seems like someone who lived it. Who is this actor? I want to know more about him!"
"Gabriel was an incredible addition to the show. He brought a level of realism that we rarely see in TV productions."
"I never thought I would be so impressed by a character who appeared in one episode. I need to see more of Ethan Carter!"
Meanwhile, on forums dedicated to Seal Team, fans discussed the possibility of bringing Gabriel's character back to the series. Many speculated that he could become a regular ally of the main team.
Shortly after, Gabriel began receiving requests for interviews. The first contact came from an entertainment magazine that wanted to know more about his experience on set. Although reluctant, he accepted, encouraged by Stassie.
"It's going to be fun," she said excitedly. "Plus, it's a great opportunity to show a little more of your professional side."
In the interview, Gabriel got straight to the point, maintaining his low-key style:
"It was a unique experience," he told the journalist. "I had never acted before, so it was challenging, but the crew was very welcoming. And, of course, playing an operator was something that made sense to me because of my background."
The journalist seemed fascinated. "You brought a level of authenticity that we rarely see in action series. What was it like working alongside experienced actors like David Boreanaz?"
"David was incredible," Gabriel replied. "He gave me valuable tips and made me feel part of the team. The entire cast was very welcoming."
The article was published with the title: "Gabriel: The Real-Life Legend Who Brought Authenticity to Fiction."
At Kylie's house, the episode of Seal Team was airing for the third time. Kylie, Kendall, and Khloe sat on the couch, watching with rapt eyes.
"He looks so natural," Kendall commented. "It's like he's been doing this his whole life."
"What did you expect? It's Gabriel," Kylie said with a smile, as she scrolled through her phone. "He was literally made for this kind of thing."
Khloe laughed. "Do you think he'll stick with the TV thing? Because honestly, he could."
"I doubt it," Kylie replied. "Gabriel's not a guy who likes to be in the spotlight. He did this because it was authentic to him, not because he wants to be famous."
Meanwhile, Stassie messaged the family group: "Did you guys see how viral Gabriel's episode is? Everyone is OBSESSED with him!"
Kendall responded with applause emojis, and Kris, ever the businesswoman, said, "We need to take advantage of this. Maybe he'll make more appearances?"
Back at home, Gabriel stared at his phone while Stassie teased him.
"You're famous again, Mr. CIA Operator," she said, smiling. "How does it feel to be the center of attention?"
"I don't know how you guys deal with it all the time," he replied, shaking his head. "I prefer my privacy. But I admit it was fun to see people's reactions."
Stassie hugged him, resting her head on his chest. "You deserve all this attention, Gabriel. You were amazing, and the world is finally seeing how talented you are in everything you do."
He kissed the top of her head, feeling grateful to have someone like Stassie by his side. "I just did what I knew how to do. Nothing more."
With the repercussion of Gabriel's participation in Seal Team, rumors began to emerge that he could be called for more episodes. Some even suggested that he could get his own spin-off, something that left the media was in an uproar.
Fans of the series couldn't stop posting theories:
"Ethan Carter NEEDS to come back. He's the kind of character that adds depth to the series."
"Can you imagine a spin-off just about his past as a CIA operative? I would definitely watch it."
Meanwhile, Stassie couldn't stop laughing at the messages she received from friends and acquaintances:
"Is your boyfriend the new Hollywood star?"
"When is he going to leave security for good to become an actor?"
Stassie replied proudly: "He only made a cameo, but he rocked it! Who knows what the future holds?"
As the sun set, Gabriel and Stassie decided to take a walk on the beach to escape the attention.
"Do you think it'll ever die down?" Gabriel asked, looking out at the horizon.
Stassie laughed. "Maybe. But honestly, you did something amazing, and people recognize that. Enjoy the moment, Gabriel. You deserve it."
He took her hand, squeezing it lightly. "Thank you for always believing in me, Stassie. You're my biggest fan."
"And I always will be," she replied with a smile.
As they walked, Gabriel realized that although he wasn't used to all the attention, he felt comfortable knowing that Stassie was by his side. And deep down, he knew that this experience in SEAL Team was just one of many adventures they would have together.
