...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!"
