There is a colleague she has never met in the 15 years of her career. Still, he prepares her heartbreak every time she sees a movie of him or a photo of him appears somewhere. And suddenly he stands in front of her. Colin Firth - and in reality he l...
Ok, that's enough. It can't be that he's so jealous of a stupid bouquet of flowers. "Colin listen, I don't want this to escalate now. Nothing is going on between Tom and me, I saw him once, you even noticed that, then I called him once to tell him that I would get the role - you know that too. Your jealousy is totally unfounded. " I take a step towards him, sit down in front of him and take his head between my hands. Colin looks at me, tears shimmering in his eyes. "Maybe he would be better for you than me?" "How did you get this absurd idea? You know that I only want you!" "He's your age, he still has his life ahead of him and me? I'm a messed up old bastard .." I smile at him "But you're my messed up old bastard. You are my heart person. I'm absolutely crazy about you and for nothing in the world would I ever trade you for anyone. "
To confirm my words, I seal his lips with mine and kiss him tenderly. Colin returns the kiss immediately, Colin's way of kissing is wonderful, he always gives me bad thoughts.

Colin sighs with satisfaction. "I'm such an idiot, he probably just means it nicely when he sends you flowers, I still hate it." "I know, I love you anyway. And now come on, I'm really hungry, we should get some food and then we put our son to bed and THEN ..." I give him a wicked grin ... "Can we please change the order?" Colin looks at me pleadingly, but for once I don't get weak. I already know what I'll do with him tonight.

Rehearsals for "The Betrayel" finally started. We went to rehearsals with great enthusiasm, and working with Tom was great. He acts in a highly professional manner, is always on point, and almost never forgets his text. He is fun to interact with, I love to see how he reacts when I change a little thing in my role. The longer the rehearsals, the better we get to know each other. In the few breaks we also talk about private matters, he tells me that he has never really had a long relationship and has kept everything to himself since he had bad experiences with the press a few years ago when he was together with Taylor Swift.
Tom and I get along really well, I would never have had the feeling that he would even begin to flirt with me, so I don't think anything about it when I invite him over to dinner one day. "Listen, I'd really love to come, but I don't think that's such a good idea." "I don't understand? Why is that?" "Well, I think Colin might have a problem with that if I show up. He's not exactly a fan of mine." "Oh Tom, that was a long time ago and now he's over it, believe me, he'd definitely be happy." Tom pulls his eyebrows together "Well, I don't believe that at all!" "Well, just think about it, maybe we can just have a drink together after the rehearsals? You know what, I'll talk to Colin today, he can pick us up tomorrow after the rehearsal and we go in a pub! " Tom looks insecure, but still agrees.
When I tell Colin about my plans for tomorrow, he is not very enthusiastic at first, but he finally agrees too. We ask Matteo and Matilda to babysit, and we promise not to stay away too long.

Today's rehearsal is not really going according to plan. Tom looks like he's not quite there. Again and again he misses his effort, which probably nobody would notice, but I do because I know how he performs when he is at his best. I notice his own dissatisfaction, but give him his freedom. Each of us can have a bad day. When we finish rehearsing and leave the stage, he stops me backstage. "Look, there's something I'd like to talk to you about." "Go ahead!" "I know it's absolutely not my place and I should probably keep my mouth shut, but I can no longer suppress it: I fell in love with you!" "You have what???" "I know that must sound terrible, I didn't want that, you have to believe me and I would much prefer it not to be like that, but I can't and don't want to defend myself against it." "You know Colin and I are together right?" "Yes, yes, of course I know that, but it's just the way it is. You know, I don't understand how he can wait so long with a woman like you?" "What do you mean? Wait with what?" "Well, to marry you! If you were MY girlfriend it couldn't go fast enough to marry you, I would make you the most romantic proposal you can imagine!" "So, that's what you like to do you little bastard?"
Colin! How long has he been standing there listening to us?
