Save the Shire?!

It’s a nice Wednesday morning in LA. Taylor and Tami are sitting at the balcony.

While they enjoy a yummy breakfast, they talk about their wonderful friends Maha and Nurul with their partners Orlando and Martin.

Taylor: Have you heard something of Maha and Orlando?

Tami: No. I haven’t heard news of them. Or of Nurul and Martin. I guess they are “busy”, if you know what I mean.

Taylor (laughs): And why aren’t we busy?

Tami: Umm... I don’t know. I have so much to do with my book. It takes a lot of time to write it.

Taylor: I know. You are busy, too. How was the meeting with the publisher?

Tami (sighs): Well, he “likes” my story...

Taylor: Your story is great. Isn’t he interested?

Tami: He is interested on my book... but not too much. So, I guess it’s better to forget it... Taylor, writing is my life, you know that. But I think, that I need more time. Do you know how my feeling was, as I sat in the publisher’s office? I was like: OMG, I am sure he will think, I am a dumb poser. He was so... arrogant.

Taylor: I’m sorry for you. But it will be better – by the next time.

Tami: Hopefully! But, please, let us talk about other things.

The doorbell rings.

Taylor: I open the door!

Tami: Okay!

A few moments later he comes back and smiles from ear to ear.

Tami: Why are you smiling so much? Anything happened?

Taylor: We have news from Maha and Orlando.

Tami: Really?

Taylor gives her the letter. It’s an invitation.

Dear Tami,

Dear Taylor,

We want to invite you to our Middle-Earth party.

We would love to welcome you in our house on Saturday at 8 o’clock (PM).

There’s only one rule: You must be disguised.

Lots of Love,

Maha and Orlando

Tami: Wow, that sounds great. But, disguised? I mean, it’s easy for Orlando to talk. He has his costume. He was Legolas in Lord of the Rings. He just need to jump in his old costume.

Taylor (smiles): You are too funny, Sweetheart. Yes, you are right, he has his old costume. But we have the best make-up artist.

Tami: Oh, I see. Okay, let us think about our costumes.

A few streets further, talk 2 people about the same invitation.

Martin: Are you sure, that we will get good costumes?

Nurul: Yes, I am sure. Martin, it’s not important how much the costumes are or how true to original they are – we go to a party of a Fantasy movie... so, we have fantasy costumes... there’s no right or wrong. I think it will be a lot of fun on Saturday.

Martin: You are right, honey! Do you think, Taylor and Tami will come, too?

Nurul (laughs): Yes! A party without the wolves? Never!

Martin: Sounds like a lot of fun!

Nurul: Yeah. I will be so funny. And now, let’s go shopping!

While the two couples are busy with their costumes, we want to look, what the third couple do.

Maha: I am so excited for Saturday. But...

Orlando (embraces her): Honey, what’s wrong? You say, you are excited, but why don’t you complete your sentence?

Maha: It’s because of the reason. They don’t know why we make this party. I am sure, they think we make this party just for fun.

Orlando: Oh Maha, honey, this party is just for fun. I don’t think, that the cause of this party should be written in the invitation. They will hear the cause early enough. Don’t think about the cause. It will be a lot of fun. Promise!

Maha (sighs): Okay. So, let’s start with the preparation.

A few days later... It’s Saturday. Still a few hours since the party begins.

Taylor: Tami, what do you think? Shall I wear the ears of a hobbit or the ears of an elf?

Tami (laughs): I think you should go as an orc!

Taylor: Just you wait!

Taylor try to catch Tami. A few minutes later she gives up. Taylor tickle her.

Tami: Okay, okay. You are not an ork. I guess you should wear the ears of an elf!

Robert: Why you don’t go as a wolve?

Taylor: ROB! We go to a Middle-Earth party. That’s not a Twilight party.

Rob: (theatrical) I am SO sorry!

Tami: It’s nice of Maha and Orlando, to invite you also!

Rob: Yes. And many other people. Are you know the reason of this party?

Taylor: Dude, since when you need a reason for a party?

Rob: Isn’t this strange? I don’t believe, that there’s no cause. I feel it.

Taylor: And I say it to you again: It’s only a costume party. Just for fun.

Tami: Guys, are you ready? It’s time to dress up!

Later the 3 people stand in front of Orlando’s house.

Tami: Ready?

Taylor and Rob: Ready!

She rings the doorbell and an older woman opens the door.

Woman: Good evening, Miss Tamara. How are you?

Tami: Fine, and you?

Woman: Thank you, me too! Please, come in. Good evening, Gentleman!

Taylor and Rob: Good evening Madame!

While the 3 are going through the house, Taylor and Rob speak with Tami.

Rob: Do you know the woman?

Tami: How shall I say? We had a short discussion, a few months ago! Since this day, she smiles and is very friendly when I am coming!

Taylor: So, you are friends?

Tami: No. But we “tolerate” us. We had not the best start. She thought I just wanted to meet Orlando because of his money. But he told her that I am a good friend of him. And now it’s ok.

Taylor: I see.

While they are talking, someone whispers: “You are not alone!”

The small group standing still and looking around the big hallway.

Taylor: Look! There was something.

Rob: Whoever you are, come out!

All what the group hears, is a loud laugh.

A few moments later a tall person with a dark green cape comes out in the hallway.

Stranger: In peda ulin! (1*)

Rob: What did he say?

Tami (talk to the Stranger): Man eneth lín? (2*)

Stranger: Tulon nin nara Aragorn.(3*)

Tami: Mae govannon, Aragorn! (4*)

Taylor: What are you talking with him, honey?

Tami (smiles): I wanted to know his name. May I introduce you – Aragorn.

Viggo: Or Viggo Mortensen... as you like it!

Robert: Good evening Viggo! Nice to meet you!

Viggo: Nice to meet you too, especially Tami.

Taylor: You know him?

Tami: Yes, I know him. He’s a good friend.

Viggo: Yes, I am. How are you, Tami?

Tami: I am fine, thank you. What about you?

Viggo: Same with me! I am always happy to see human beings. Even if this human being is attended by two Elves, which don’t understand any elvish word.

Tami: Don’t worry guys! Elvish isn’t so difficult, as it sounds.

Taylor: Why you can speak elvish?

Tami: A long time ago I met a nice man who taught me this beautiful language.

She looks in Viggos eyes and smiles. He smiles back.

Tami: You were a good teacher.

Viggo: And you were a good student.

Tami: Hannon le! (5*) Do you want to go with us?

Viggo: It would be an honour for me!

Minutes later they all stand in front of a door.

Viggo opens the door and they enter a room full of guests.

The people laugh and dance and have much fun together.

Rob and Taylor: Wow, that’s amazing! It really looks like a room from Middle-Earth.

Viggo smiles.

Tami look around the people. A few seconds later she smiles and run to two people.

Tami: Nurul! Martin! Hello!!!

Nurul and Martin: Hello Tami! We are still waiting for you!

Rob and Taylor comes to Nurul and Martin.

Nurul: Hey Taylor! Nice to see you here! Hello Rob. You both looks great!

Rob and Taylor: Thank you so much. You too, gorgeous elvish lady!

Nurul (smiles): We are all elves. But, Tami, why aren’t you an elvish girl?

Tami: I thought that most of the people would come as elves, so I decide to support the small group of human beings.

Martin: That’s nice of you!

Tami: So am I. But tell me, have you seen Maha and Orlando?

Martin: No, not yet!

Viggo: They organize a party and then they aren’t there? Strange!

The group decide to dance a bit and enjoy the evening.

30 Minutes later a arrow flies through the room and a balloon bursts.

Viggo: I know much elves, but only one can shot an arrow so exactly.

Nurul: Legolas!

Viggo: Yes, the best archer in whole middle-earth.

Orlando and Maha enter the room and welcome their guests.

Orlando: Le hannon a thole! (6*)

Maha: Thank you for coming to our middle-earth party!

Orlando: It’s great to welcome you all in my house. And it’s amazing, that everyone wear a costume. I want to wish you a wonderful evening, and don’t worry – my house is save, so no orks far and wide!

The guests laugh. The atmosphere is great.

Our little group talks, laughs and dances.

Later Orlando and Maha come to their friends and welcome them.

Orlando: Friends, nice to see you here!

Maha: I am so happy to see you!

The group: We are happy to see you both, as well!

Viggo: Orlando, you haven’t unlearnt anything. You are great with your bow!

Orlando: Thank you! Three Lord of the Rings movies have formed me.

While the both talk to each other Maha looks in the faces of her friends. She doesn’t smile.

Tami: Maha, dear, is everything alright?

Maha answers with a nod.

Nurul: Tami is right. What’s wrong dear?

Maha looks to Orlando. He comes to her and hugs her.

Orlando: Tell them the truth, honey.

Maha: I... I can’t.

Tami and Nurul: Dear, you can tell us everything!

Maha: Well... these party has a special reason. Orlando and I will go back to Egypt.

The group: WHAT?!

Tami: Sen tîr? (7*)

Orlando: Yes, it’s true.

Nurul: Why?

Maha: I have my family there. I can’t be here forever. And you all have known that.

Tami: Man lû vin achenitham? (8*)

Orlando: I don’t know. Hopefully as soon as possible.

Nurul: You can’t leave us. Together – forever, have you forget that?

Maha: No, believe me! Don’t you think it’s not hard for me to go? I don’t want to leave you. But I have no choice. My family needs me. Egypt needs me.

Viggo: Are you going with her, Orlando?

Orlando: Yes. You know, I can’t live without her. So I move to Egypt.

Viggo: I understand. Elen síla lumenn’ omentielvo. (9*) Don’t forget that!

Orlando: Thank you, my friend!

Hours later the party ends and all guests leaves the party, except for our group.

Nurul: When will you leave Los Angeles?

Maha: Tomorrow afternoon. I am so sorry!

Tami: No need to say sorry, darling! I speak with Taylor and we will visit you as soon as possible.

Maha (smiles): Really?

Taylor: Promise! And Nurul and Martin come with us!

Maha (with tears in her eyes) Thank you so much. You are true friends!

Tami: Don’t cry, honey! We are always together – in our hearts and thoughts.

Maha: I will miss you all so much. My time in Los Angeles was beautiful and I really loved it.

Orlando: Honey, it’s time to say goodbye!

Maha: Goodbye my friends. Please, visit us soon.

The group hugs Maha and Orlando.

All have tears in the eyes.

Tami: Calo anor na ven! (10*)

Orlando and Maha: Thank you so much!

Los Angeles, 7 o'clock in the morning.
I woke up an hour ago and now my phone rings.
Gosh, who call me in the early morning?

Me: „Who's calling?“
Taylor: „Hey!“
Me (totally happy): „Helloooo! How are you Sweetheart?“
Taylor: „I am fine! And you?“
Me: „Good... but I missed you alot!“
Taylor: „Okay. So, what are you doing right now?“
Me: „Wait! I tell you that I miss you... what about you? Don't you miss me?“
Taylor: „Umm... maybe a little. But not too much!“

I hear him laugh.

Me: „What? Why are you laughing?“
Taylor: „You don't answer my question. What are you doing right now?“
Me: „Is that the only important thing for you? What I am doing?“
Taylor: „Okay... if you don't answer me... I tell you, what you are doing...!“
Me: „I am curious about it!“

He wait a few seconds before he starts to talk.

Taylor: „Okay... you hold your phone in your right hand.“

I am upset.

Me: „WOW, what a surprise! I hold my phone in my right hand – as always!!!“
Taylor: „You want to know more?“
Me: „Sure!“
Taylor: „Well, you wear a blue shirt with the imprint 'Converse'. Your hair are longer than the last time as I saw you and you seems upset. Oh, wait, you look out of your window.“
Me: „Why do you know that?“
Taylor: „Let me see in your future: In a few seconds you will open the door, because the doorbell rings.“
Me: „No.“
Taylor: „I bet you will!“

My doorbell rings.

Taylor: „Come on, open the door!“
Me: „Taylor, what's going on here?“
Taylor: „Wait and see.“

I activate the intercom buzzer and I hear someone's coming up the stairs.
A few moments later I not believe my eyes – it's Taylor!

Taylor speaks in his phone but look at me.

Taylor: „So, who came along?“
Me: „Oh, you know, a good looking young guy with wonderful brown eyes and a beautiful smile.“
Taylor: „Do I now have to be jealous?
Me: „Maybe...“

We put back our phones.
Taylor come to me and hug me. How much I've missed him... it's indescribable.
I feel his body warmth... I see his beautiful smile... I hear his wonderful voice.

Taylor: „I can't say how much I've missed you...“

I give him a kiss... there's no better moment like this.

Me: (whispers) „I am so happy, to have you back again!“
Taylor: „And I am happy to be here again!“

Taylor and I enter my apartment. We sit down at the kitchen table and talk.

Me: „How was the Comic-Con?“
Taylor: „Nice. It was great to see Rob and Kristen. We had so much fun.“
Me: „Great to hear that.“
Taylor: „And what's happened here in LA?“
Me: „Oh, nothing special. I was in hospital two times.“
Taylor: „What? Why?“
Me: „Don't worry. The first time I was there, because my friend Nurul had a little accident, but nothing groundbreaking. And the second time I was there, because of routine checkup.“
Taylor: „Thanks god! But, tell me, who's Nurul?“
Me: „Ah, sorry! I thought I told you about her. Nurul is a very close friend of mine. She lives not far away from here. Just a few minutes. She's such a lovely girl, you will love her!“
Taylor: „Sounds nice. I'm looking forward to meet her! Are there any news of Maha and Orlando?“
Me: „Yes, Orlando is with her in Egypt. But, surprise surprise, they'll come today to LA!“
Taylor: „Great!!! Do you remember the ball event? It all happened so long ago.“
Me: „Yes, I remember. But our hearts beat as one!“
Taylor: „So, what are your plans for today?“
Me: „First, pick Nurul and Martin up. And then we meet Orlando and Maha.“
Taylor: „Where?“
Me: „Orlando and Maha want to meet us at the Sunset Boulevard.“
Taylor: „Nice idea!“

Taylor and I have breakfast, get ready and then we set off to Nurul's apartment.
She's already waiting.

Nurul: „Good morning dear!“
Me: „Good morning honey! May I introduce you Taylor?“

Nurul and Taylor shake hands.

Nurul: „Taylor Lautner - Finally! Nice to meet you!“
Taylor: (smiles) „Thanks! Nice to meet you, too!“

Nurul get into Taylors car. A black Volvo XC60.

Nurul: „Taylor, is this your car?“
Taylor: „Yes, why are you asking?“
Nurul: „Because Rob drove the same car in the Twilight movies.“
Taylor (laughs): „Yes, I know. I thought it would be a funny fact, when I drive a Vampire's car!“

We all laugh.

Minutes later we are at the hospital.
Martin seems a little bit nervous, but he smiles as he notized us.

Nurul opens her door and say: „Martin, get in the car!“

Martin: „Hey guys! How are you?“
Taylor and I: „Great! And you?“
Martin: „Fine, thank you. A little bit nervous, because I sit in Taylor Lautner's car.“
Taylor: „No need to be nervous. I am just a young good looking guy with wonderful brown eyes and a beautiful smile.“
Me: „Poser!“
Taylor: „I'm no Poser. I only say what you've said to me this morning!“
Nurul: (laughs) „Tamara, you score an own goal!“
Me: (smile) „Spoil-sport!“

Later we are at the Sunset Boulevard.

Nurul: „Wow, I haven't been here before.“
Me: „Me too.“
Nurul: „Really? You still live longer in LA than I and you haven't been there?“
Me: „No, I've had no time for such trips. But now I am here with the best people ever.“
Taylor: „Would you like to drink something while we wait?“
Nurul, Martin and Me: „We'd love to!“

We go to a little café.
We talk about anything and everything.

I don't know what time it is, as I hear a shrill whistle.
I look around me and I make out two people at a distance.

Taylor: „I guess we receive visitors!“

Me: (scream) „Maha!“

I can't help, I must run to meet my lovely egyptian girl.

Me: (while I hug Maha) „Welcome to LA!“
Maha: „Finally!“
Me: „I am so happy, that you are here! What a great idea of Orlando. By the way – Hello Orlando!“
Orlando: „Hey! How are you?“
Me: „I am fine! How was your flight?“
Maha: „Long, but nice!“
Orlando: „Is Tay there?“
Me: „Yes. How do you know that?“

Orlando and Maha grin broadly.

Maha: „Well, I couldn't live with the fact that Nurul and I have our partners with us and you are alone on this beautiful day. So, Orlando and I called Taylor and told him our plans.“

I hug and squeeze both.

Me: „You both are amazing! Thank you so much! You've made my day!“
Orlando and Maha: „You're welcome!“

We are going to our friends, which are still waiting at the café.

Nurul: „Maha my dear! Welcome! Hello Orlando!“
Maha: „Hello dear! So happy to see you here!“
Nurul: „May I introduce you my wonderful boyfriend? Martin, that's Maha and Orlando!“
Martin (smiles): „Hello you two!“
Maha: „Nice to meet you! Wow, you look like Orlando. That's amazing!“
Orlando: „Hey! You are a doctor, right?“
Martin: „Yes, I am an internist!“
Orlando: „Great. And, how is your job?“
Martin: „Most of the time stressfull but nice. It's great to help people.“
Orlando: „Sounds nice.“

Taylor: „Hey bro!“
Orlando: „Tay! Wonderful to see you here!“
Taylor: „Yeah, it's great! Hey Maha!“
Maha: (hug Taylor): „Hello!“

Orlando: „So, what shall we do now?“
Nurul, Maha and me: „We want to see Hollywood's Walk of Fame!“

Orlando and Taylor roll their eyes.

Orlando: „Okay!“

We walk to the Walk of Fame and watching the stars.

Martin: „Taylor and Orlando, have you a star here?“
Taylor: „No!“
Orlando: „No... but Cate Blanchett has one!“
Martin: „Galadriel has one but Legolas not?“
Orlando: (smiles) „Yes... maybe Legolas is not important enough!“
Maha: „Don't say that. Legolas is the most important person in Lord of the Rings.“
Orlando: „Thank you darling!“

Orlando kisses Maha...

Taylor: „Gosh, always this billing and cooing!“
Martin: „Yes, so annoying!“

Nurul: „Tami, our boys are too cheeky!“
Me: „Yes, that's why Taylor hasn't a star on the Walk of Fame.“

Nurul and I start laughing.
It's so funny to see the perplexed faces of the others.

Maha, Taylor, Martin and Orlando look at us. They are confused.
All: "What is?!"
Nurul and me: "Nothing! We just laugh because we are so happy to enjoy this day with you all."

Later we decide to eat something in a nice restaurant.
While we wait for our food, we talk together.

Martin: (to Orlando and Maha) "Nurul said, you were in Egypt. How was your trip?"
Orlando: "I loved it! Egypt is great - especially the egyptian girls."

He smiles while Maha poke him softly.

Maha: "Don't be so cheeky!"
Orlando: "It's just a joke. You should know, that you are the only girl I love."
Martin: "Maha, is it difficult to be in relationship with a movie star?"
Maha: "Well, I think, the most difficult thing about such a relationship is the distance. We aren't live together, so we are thankful to have such beautiful moments and days like today!"
Orlando: "Yes, that's true. But it's worth it. I guess, an actor shouldn't give up love or a relationship just because of the distance."

Maha and Orlando look at each other. This are such beautiful moments. I have an idea.

Me: "Hey! May I take some pictures of you?"
Orlando (smiles): "Awww, we have a paparazzo at our table. So, what are you paying for a picture with Maha and me?"
Me: "Umm... than not!"
Maha: "Orlando!!! I want a picture in memory of this day!"
Orlando: "Your wish is my command."

He comes closer to her and put his arm around Maha.

Me: "That's great! Say cheese!"
Orlando and Maha: "Cheese!"

I release the shutter.

Me: "Okay. Next one, please!"

I look to Nurul and Martin.

Me: "Come on, guys!"

While Martin kisses his Nurul on her cheek I release the shutter again.

Me: "Done! Beautiful pictures of beautiful couples!"

I want to sit down, but Orlando stop me.

Me: "Is something wrong?"
Orlando: "Yes! I want to take a picture of you and Tay!"
Me: (imitate him) "Oh my god, a paparazzo! What are you paying for a picture?"
Orlando: "What do you want?"
Me: "Come closer!"

Orlando come closer, so I can whisper in his ear: "Buy your amazing girl something!"
Orlando (smiles): "I'll do!"

Taylor stand up and come to me.

Taylor: "Honey, what do you whisper with Orlando?"
Me: "Oh, nothing! It's a little secret between us."
Taylor: "Okay... Why we both have no secrets together?"
Me: "I don't know. Maybe, because we tell us all!"

Taylor embraces me.

Orlando: "Say cheese!"
Taylor and Me: "Cheese!"

Orlando gives me my Camera back.

Me: "Thank you!"
Orlando: "No need to say Thanks!"

Martin: "May I ask you some questions?"
All: "Sure!"
Martin: "Okay. Taylor and Orlando, are there any plans for new movies?"
Orlando: "Well, I've finished 'The Hobbit', which will release in December. But otherwise there are no new plans at the moment."
Taylor: "Same with me. Breaking Dawn Part 2 will release in November. And I have a few enquiries, but I don't know if I accept that orders."
Orlando: "Why?"
Taylor: "Well, I work hard and sustained since the first Twilight movie. In November the last movie of the Saga will release and I guess, I need a break. I want to spend time with my Tamara, my family and friends. I know I am a young actor but I'm thankful for all that I have and my family gave me so much the last years. So I think I should give them something back. And that's me and my time for them!"
Orlando: "I know what you mean. That's why I've acted in theatres for 'In Celebration'."
Martin: "Do you sometimes wish to have a 'normal' job?"
Orlando: "Yes, sometimes. You know, I love to be an actor. It's great. But I have no 'normal' life. I can't go through the city and enjoy my day like you. Because Paparazzi are everywhere!"
Martin: "How much do you reveal your private life?"
Orlando: "I keep my personal life from the media spotlight. My family and friends are my safe haven. They don't see me as 'the successful and highly coveted actor" and I am glad about it. They just see and know me as Orlando. Taylor and I work in a line of business where nobody knows, if the people who are coming to you and talk to you are really honest. There are a lot of cheaters in this world, that's the problem."
Taylor: "Yes, that's absolutely right."
Orlando: "You know, people in our line of business looking for people who are also successful. It's easier for us, to be in relationships with like-minded people, because they have no need to lie or play with us."
Martin: "People like your ex-girlfriends?"
Orlando: "Yes. All of them were great. But there was no time for privacy, because we've had no time for each other. Maha is a lucky chance for me. She's not in my line of business, so we can talk about our different lifes. I love, that she's normal. Because of her I am down-to-earth. With her I can be just Orlando. No actor, just the simple human being who I am."
Martin: "I see. I am happy, that I am a doctor."
Orlando: "I'm sure you are a great doctor."

Martin want to answer, but Nurul anticipate Orlandos statement.
Nurul: "Yes, he is the best doctor here in LA!"

Maha smiles.

Maha: "That's so cute! We all are lucky people. We have wonderful partnes by our side, we have great familys and, most of all, we have us!"
All together: "That's right!"

We enjoy a beautiful evening together.
And at the end of the day, when we all go home, we arrange a meeting again for the next days...

She's my sun

TV presenter: So, this is your tattoo?
Orli: Yes, that was my first tattoo.
TV presenter: It looks nice! What's so special about it? 
Orli: Well, I was a young boy as I got this tattoo and it's so special for me because everytime when I see this tattoo, I'm thinking on someone special.
TV presenter: Wow, who is this lucky person?

Orli: It's a very special girl which means a lot to me. Her name ist Maha and I love her for years! She means a lot to me and she's my own personal sun! So this sun on my belly is dedicated to her.
TV presenter: Your Maha is a lucky girl, right?
Orli: Yes, she really is! I can't imagine how my life would be without her. She gives me so much love, power and support... I can't describe it!
TV presenter: Do you love her?
Orli: Of course! I love her more than my own life! I hope she knows that. She makes my life so special and wonderful! ♥
TV presenter: Thanks for this interview.
Orli: You're welcome!

E-Mail for you

Taylor: "Gosh, I've had a very hard day... I need something to relax."
*opens his laptop and log in to facebook*
"Okay...some new messages... but that's boring! Have a better idea: I will write my 2 favourite girls in the world..."
...
"UMM,....WHAT SHALL I WRITE?"

...
*he deliberates*
...
"Well, I think I know what I want to write."
...
*he types*
...
"Hello Maha & Tami,
how are you both?
I'm lying in my bed and keep you in my mind.
My day was very hard and now I have time to relax a bit. So I thought I write to you both.
The ball event last week was wonderful, Orlando is really great and it was so nice to see you both again after a long time!
We were the most beautiful people there ;) For sure! :D
Damn, I miss you both so much. ♥
I'm sure Orlando miss you so much too... especially his Sunshine Maha :D ♥
He was so nervous as he has heard that she's coming to the ball! :D
We must stick together! Forever! ♥
What are you doing at the moment?
Are you thinking of Orlando and me sometimes? I have you always in my mind... every second... that is incredible.
Today I met Orlando again.
I talked to him and he told me, that he sadly missed his Maha!
He can't be happy without you Maha... he needs you so much.
And I need you Tami... WE NEED YOU BOTH.... HERE.... RIGHT NOW.
Tami, I'm soooo sorry that I couldn't come to your birthday party, but I have so much work here... I hope you don't get mad at me... I miss you so much! ♥

Orlando, you both and me must meet us again as soon as possible!
In the meantime we will write us a lot, promised?!

Big hugs and kisses!
Your Taylor ♥♥♥

PS: I'll send you a picture of me! ♥

....

*post the letter*
...

*sighs*
...

*thinks: I hope I'll hear from both soon! I love them! ♥ They are the most wonderful people in my life!*
...
*he sit back, close his eyes and wait for an answer*

Fight for your love

Are you disposed for a story? Well, I'll tell you, what is happened to me... so listen:

...a few days ago - somewhere in Los Angeles...

I'm going to visit one of the greatest actors ever. And, thankfully, he's one of my best friends, too! Lucky me! 
I will visit Orlando Bloom... I know, you're sitting in front of the screen and look like this --> O.O and you are thinking "WTF? She knows Orlando Bloom?"
Yeah, I know him - btw. at this point thanks to my amazing friend Taylor! ♥

So, I stand in front of Orlandos house and ring the doorbell.
Immediately a older small woman opens the door.

Woman: "Hello! How can I help you?" 
Me: "Good morning Miss! Um, I want to visit Orlando Bloom."
Woman (sceptical): "Who are you young lady? What's your name?"
Me: "Oh, I'm so sorry! How disobliging! My name is Tami. I'm a good friend of Orlando."
Woman: "So, really? Does Orlando know, that you're coming today?"
Me: "No, sorry! It's such a little surprise. Please, may I see him!"
Woman: "Hmm, I don't know. Orlando don't want to receive a visit, today! You better should go away and come another time!"
(she want to close the door, but I can stop her.)
Me: "Please, Madam! I must see him! Just for a moment!"
Woman (sighs): "Okay, BUT just for a minute!"
Me: "Awww, thank you so much! You're so nice!"

I follow the woman through the big house. It's very stylish. Antique furniture mixed with modern decorations. Sigh. Home, sweet home! 

A few seconds later, the woman stop. She knocks on the door in front of us and we hear a soft "Come in!".

Woman: "Don't forget: Just a moment!"
Me: "Don't worry, madam! I am not going to eat him!"
I can't help, but after saying this I must laugh.

The Woman leave me and I open the door. I'm nervous. I don't know why, but I am!
I enter the room and look around. The walls of the room are full of pictures. Orlando is a great artist, and I know, this pictures are made of him! 

I admire this amazing pictures, as I hear a soft "Hello Tami!"
I look to the wall behind me. There are a few windows and you have a great look outside into the garden.

Orlando is sitting on the floor. He wears dark jeans, a blue sweater, yellow socks and old white Chucks by Converse All Stars - his favourite shoes. In fact his shadow is wonderful!
I salute him with a smile.

Orlando return a smile and knocks with his hand on the empty space beside him. 
I sit down on the floor beside him. 

Me: "Sorry to bother you."
Orlando: "Hm? What are you saying? You never bother me!"
Me: "The woman who opened the door said something like that!"
Orlando: "Ignore her! She's my housekeeper. She thinks all people who visit me are devious."
Me: "Really? Why?"
Orlando: "Well, to be honest, I don't know! Maybe she think that all girls want my money!"

He laughs. I love his beautiful laugh. It's so honestly.

Me (smiling): "Oh, I see. You have a lot of visits by young girls, right?"
Orlando (smiles and give me a soft pinch): "Don't be so cheeky!"
Me: "You have so much chairs in your house. Why you are sitting on the floor?"
Orlando: "Umm, good question. I think, I don't like the chairs today!"
Me: "Good answer. Have you talked to Taylor the last time?"
Orlando: "No, why are you asking?"
Me: "Oh, no particular reason!"
Orlando (looks at me with his dark brown eyes): "Liar!" 
Me: "What do you want to hear?"
Orlando: "The truth - you miss him, right?"
Me: "Maybe. A little."
Orlando (hugs me): "A little too much!"
Me: "It's alright. I am okay." 
Orlando: "Look, we both have the same destiny."
Me: "Why?"
Orlando: "You miss Taylor. And I.... well, I miss..."
Me: "Maha, right?"
Orlando answer with a nod. 

Me: "Poor boy! When did you meet her the last time?"
Orlando: "At the ball event. Do you remember?"
Me: "Yes... how can I forget this special evening. I saw Taylor for the first time there, and it was great! Sigh."
Orlando: "And I saw Maha for the first time. I feel guilty... I want to see her on each new day for the rest of my life... but..."
Me: "...work?"
Orlando: "Yes, I am working hard. And I know Taylor is working hard too. So, most of the time, we can't be with the girls we love from the bottom of our hearts!"
Me: "I understand you. And I'm sure, Maha understand you too! She loves you. That is the most important thing - LOVE! Fight for your love! You both are meant for each other! She loves you as much as you love her!"
Orlando (whispers): "You give me hope! You know, I love her more than my own life. I would die for her. She's my angel and I am so thankful to have her by my side. Each morning I wake up and think: Life is beautiful! Not because of my job - and I like my job - or because of my money and my big house. No! My life is beautiful just because of HER! I love her more than words can say. I love her as much as you love Taylor."

I look away from him. His words about Taylor hurts me. Yes, I love Taylor. Endlessly. And I miss him frantically! Why does he know me so good? He read in my eyes like in a book! He's got a nerve!!!

Orlando: "Hey, have I said something wrong?"
I wipe away my tears.
Me: "No, everything okay!"
Orlando: "I'm sorry. I don't want to make you cry!"
Me: "I don't cry!"
Orlando: "Look at me! Yes, you do... but, don't worry! I've cried too."
Me: "YOU?"
Orlando: "Yes! Every night, since the ball event. Every second without Maha is like a little death for me... I need her like the air that I breathe. But, you know that, right?"
Me: "Yeah... and it hurts so much!"
Orlando: "I know what you mean. It's terrible. I'd love nothing better than to visit Maha."
Me: "And what stop you from doing this?"
Orlando: "I don't know. Maybe she don't want that I fly to her home!"
Me: "Are you kidding? I think she's waiting for you each day!"
Orlando: "But..."
Me: "You're a coward! I know your motto is BETTER A LIVING DOG THAN A DEAD LION!"
Orlando: "You're crazy Tami! And your sayings are... true. Yeah, I am a coward!"
Me: "Orli, come on. Visit her. You need her! And I'm sure she need you too! Don't be a dog... be the lion!"
Orlando: "If I am the lion... what is she? The lamb?"
Me: "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb..." 

He smiles. As I see his amazing smile, I'm smiling too.
Orlando: "Twilight, right?"
Me: "Yes!" 
Orlando: "So, Maha and I are like Bella and Edward?"
Me: "Does you sparkle in the sun?"
Orlando: "Umm, no."
Me: "Then not!"

We both laugh. 
Orlando: "What are you and Taylor?"
Me: "Tell me!"
Orlando (grin broadly): "Maybe, the beauty and the beast?"
Me (scandalized): "You're an idiot!" 
Orlando: "It was just a joke! I don't know. I'm not good in such things!"
Me: "Hmm... probably Taylor and I are just Taylor and I... or actor and one girl of many..."
Orlando: "No, don't say this! You're not one of many! You are the one and only for him!"
Me: "From your lips to God's ears!"

Orlando stand up and reach out to me.
I take his hand and stand up, too.

Me: "And now?"
Orlando: "I take you over Taylor! 

A few minutes later we stand in front of Taylors home. 
I am nervous. Again. I can't believe I am here - a few footsteps away from Taylor. 

Me: "What are you up to?"
Orlando: "I will fly to Egypt. You're right. I should be the lion, not the dog!"
Me: "Thank you so much for all you've done for me today!"
Orlando: "No, thank you!!! You give me new hope and open my eyes . I should fight for my love! And I will do that! You're great!"
Me: "You are also great! I wish you all the best and good luck for your trip!"
Orlando: "It seems that someone is waiting for you!"

I'm looking at the house in front of us. A beautiful young man stands at the door. His hair is uncomed and he wears cozy trousers and a grey T-Shirt - and he smiles. Taylor! Finally! 
I look to Orlando... he smiles, give me a soft hug and whispers: "Go! Don't let him wait!"

Me: "Give Maha a big hug from me, yes? And say her, I love her! She's amazing!"
Orlando: "I do!"

I get out of the car and before Orlando is leaving, he wink at me! 

And as I'm on the way in Taylors open arms I say to myself: "The world is beautiful. 
Because we all have someone we love. And it's worth fighting for this person! Good luck Orlando... Good luck!"

Routine Checkup

I am in hospital for a routine checkup.

I sit in the waiting area to wait for a doctor.

A nurse came and told me, to go in the treatment room.

Shortly afterwards the door opens and a doctor come in.

He stares on my medical file and sit down.

While he read my medical file, he says: "Good morning Miss. Do you have complaints if any?"

I look at him, grin and say: "Yes. I have a big complaint, because it seems you don't recognize me anymore!"

Now he finally look at me. "Oops! Tamara, hello!"

Me: "Hello, Dr. Blake!"

Blake: "I'm so sorry... but, you know, it's a very stressful day... and, please, call me Martin."

Me: "Okay... Martin... so, how are you?"

Blake: (laughs) "You ask me how I am? I am the doctor, so I should ask you this question!" 

Me: "That's up to you... but to answer your unasked question - I am fine."

Blake (smiles): "So, it's just a routine checkup?"

Me: "Yes."

Blake: "Okay, let's start."

So I am under examination. Last but not least he want to listen to my chest with a stethoscope.

Blake: "Take a deep breath, please... okay, that sounds good. Now cough please. Thank you."

Me: "And? Is anything wrong with my health?"

Blake: "No, you are healthy."

Me: "Sounds great! Thank you!"

Blake: "You are welcome!"

He look at me. 

Me: "All right?"

Blake: "Yes...."

Me: "But?"

Blake: "I'll meet Nurul this evening."

Me: "That's great."

Blake: "Yes... but I must say her the truth about me. Last time I was not able to do that... she was so happy because of her discharge from hospital that I would not damp her spirits."

Me: "I see. But I am sure, you'll do the right thing. I know Nurul and she's a very loyal friend. You'll see, it will be not so bad!"

Blake: "Okay, I trust you!"

Me: "Good boy! I think I sould go now. I'll cross my fingers for you! Keep smiling and stick to the truth!"

Blake: "Promise! Have a nice day, Tamara."

Me: "Wish you the same, Martin. And good luck!"

I am on the way to my home now. While I'm going through the streets, I decide to visit Nurul.

She's here in LA too. She came just a few weeks later after my arrival here and I am happy to have her by my side in this big city. 

We both have nice apartments which are in the immediate vicinity. 

So, I am going to the house where Nurul's apartment is, and ring the doorbell.

Seconds later the intercom buzzer rung out.

I open the door and go to her apartment. 

She's already waiting. 

Nurul: (laughs) "Tami! Hello!"

Me: "Hello my dear!"

We caress each other.

Nurul: "Nice to see you here. Come in and sit down!"

Me: "Thank you. Am I interrupting?"

Nurul: "Of course not! How are you?"

Me: "I am fine. And you?"

Nurul: "Me too. What's going on?"

Me: "Oh, not much. I was at the hospital today."

Nurul: "What's happened?"

Me: "Don't worry! It was just a routine checkup."

Nurul: (sighs with relief) "Thanks God!"

Me: "It was a nice morning... I talked to Martin."

Nurul: "Martin? Do you mean Dr. Blake?"

Me (smiles): "Yes! He was stressed but nice as always."

Nurul: "Sounds good."

Me: "He told me, you both have a date tonight?"

Nurul (blushed): "Umm... maybe."

Me (prod her): "Aww, come on. Don't be so prudish! I'm happy for you both."

Nurul: "Thank you... but I am a little bit nervous. He sounded so mysterious."

Me: "Honey, don't worry, okay? I am sure he's nervous as well."

Nurul: (laughs) "You are a trip!"

Me: (theatrical) "Oh, what a compliment from you! Thank you so much!" 

Nurul: "Do you believe he have feelings for me?"

Me: "I don't say nothing!"

Nurul: "Awww, Tami. Please, do you know something?"

Me: "Maybe... maybe not! Shall I give you a tip?"

Nurul: "Please!"

I come closer to her, look around me, lean over and whisper in Nurul's ear: "WAIT AND SEE!"

Nurul punch me humorous.

Nurul: "Jerk!!!"

I am laughing. 

Me: "Okay, okay, I am sorry! But your facial expression was awesome!!!"

Now Nurul's laughing too.

Nurul: "What's going on Tami?"

Me: "Well, Taylor has organised a meeting with a publisher tomorrow. I hope he want to publish my book."

Nurul: "That's so nice of Taylor. Where is he at the moment?"

Me: "He's in San Diego because of the Comic-Con."

Nurul: "Okay... and when he come back?"

Me: "Honestly I don't know. But I hope soon. He said, he'll comes back as soon as possible."

Nurul: "I am happy for you both. You are so nice together. What's with Maha and Orlando?"

Me: "Well, Orlando is with her in Egypt. She has sent me an e-Mail with a picture. Do you want to see it?"

Nurul: "Of course."

I show her the picture. 

Nurul: "Awww, how gorgeous. Beautiful couple."

Me: "Yes, that's true!"

Nurul: "I wish Dr. Blake would be mine. So, you, Taylor, Martin and I could fly to Egypt and visit Maha and Orlando."

Me: "Oh Dear. Orlando and Maha want to come to LA for holidays."

Nurul: "Really??? That's great news!"

Me: "Yes! So we can paint the town red together! That will be fun!"

Nurul: "Oh yes! All together!"

Me (whispers and smiles): "Yeah... all together..."

Nurul: "Tami, do you say something?"

Me: "No!"

I stand up. 

Me: "So, honey, it's late. I think I should go."

Nurul (consult her watch): "Oh, time flies! Thank you so much for your visit and this beautiful and funny afternoon."

Me: "You're welcome." 

Nurul: "See you soon!"

Me: "See you soon, honey!"

I leave Nurul's apartment and go home.

In the evening I sit on my balcony and enjoy the beautiful sunset.

While I sit there, a few streets further a good-looking man ring Nurul's doorbell.

He wears dark blue jeans and a white shirt.

He is very nervous and in his left hand he had a big bouquet of flowers.

Nurul opens the door.

Martin smiles as he see her. 

Blake: "Good evening Nurul."

Nurul: "Hello and welcome to my home. Come in!"

Blake: "Thank you."

Martin enters the apartment and look at Nurul. 

Blake: "Here! This flowers are for you!"

Nurul (takes the bouquet of flowers): "Aww, they are so beautiful. Thank you so much!"

Blake: "You're so very welcome!"

Nurul puts the flowers in a vase and than she sit down.

Blake: "Nice apartment! I like it!"

Nurul: "Thank you. It's nothing special."

Blake: "Don't say that. I like it... it's cozy and attractive!"

Nurul: "So you say!"

Blake: "Yes."

Nurul: "Do you want something to drink?"

Blake: "Could I have a glass of water, please?"

Nurul: "Of course."

Nurul fetches 2 glasses of water.

Blake: "Thank you!"

Nurul: "So, what's happened? You want to tell me something?"

Blake: "Yes... but it's not easy to tell you this."

Nurul: "Why?"

Blake: "Nurul, since I know you, I must smile all the time. I think of you every second... at night I dream of you... of me.... of us. My heart's beating just for you."

Nurul: "Really? You are not joking?"

Blake: "No, I am not joking. It's the truth. I... I fell in love with you at the day as I saw you for the first time. You were so nice and lovely... your eyes are like diamonds. They sparkle... so beautiful."

Nurul: "Oh Martin. I love you too!!!"

Nurul stand up and go to Martin. She give him a hug, but he push her away. 

Nurul: "Martin, what's going on?"

Blake: "Nurul, please! I can't do this!"

He goes to the window and looks out of it. 

He sighs.

Nurul: "Please, tell me. What's your problem?"

Blake: "Nurul, I've made a big mistake. I am not the good guy which I am in your eyes!"

Nurul: "A big mistake? We all make mistakes... that's life, Martin. People make mistakes, we are no gods!"

Blake: "What would you say, if I have killed a patient?"

Nurul is shocked. She has tears in her eyes. 

Nurul: "Why did you do that?"

Blake: "I was less than chuffed with my life. I thought I'm the biggest loser in this world. Till I met Diane... she was a young girl with pyelonephritis. She was so lovely and I felt great as I saw how she hallowed me.  I don't want to lose her... so I give her wrong medication... she died after a surgery... but I know her death is my fault.... It was out of control..."

Nurul: "That's heavy..."

Martin stares out of the window and whispers: "It's time I was going."

Nurul goes to him and beg him: "No, please stay!"

Blake: "Why? In this story you are the princess... you don't deserve a bad guy. You deserve prince charming!"

Nurul: "You have no clue what I really deserve or what I really want. I don't want prince charming. I want YOU! A man with mistakes. It's not important for me what you've done in your past... it's important that you were honest and told me your mistake. Sure, it's a really big mistake but it doesn't change my love for you. I love you with all my heart no matter what you've done in the past or what you will do in the future. Learn from your mistakes and make it better. You aren't a bad guy. You were desperate and when people are desperate they sometimes do wrong things. It's normal for human beings!"

Martin turn around and looks in Nurul's eyes.

Blake: "Tamara said that you will say that."

Nurul: "She knows me as good as I know her. We understand each other and have the same opinion about things."

Blake: "Great minds think alike!"

Nurul: "That's right!"

Martin comes closer and hugs Nurul.

Both looks at each other... Martin smiles and leans over Nurul.

And finally, he kisses her....

Blake: "I love you Nurul!"

Nurul: "I love you too, Martin!"

Suddenly Nurul begins to laugh.

Blake: "What is?" 

Nurul: "Nothing. I am just happy. And I thought about Tamara's facial expression when I'll talk to her tomorrow..."
