Bicurious and the Filmmaker | Audrey Jensen

05

I closed the apps on my phone and put it next to me. Browsing Netflix, I decided to watch a film, or at least that was my idea. Until my phone rang. Rolling my eyes I picked it up and answered.
"Hello?" I asked
"Hey Lia! Uh I have some news" Gabby said from the other side of the phone
"Okay shoot"
"Don't get mad, it's just - I won't be coming with you for the film."
I blinked a couple of times to try and process what I was hearing.
"You what?"
"Yeah. Uh I got this job, and I um, I'm gonna be on a TV show" Gabby said nervously.
My anger instantly melted away
"Seriously??? Oh my god I'm so proud of you Gabz!" I smiled
"Oh I thought you'd be mad.."
"Of course not! Although I do wanna watch Netflix so I'll text you babe"
"Okay, enjoy Netflix Lia" Gabby said and hung up.

I put my phone down and found a film to watch. I curled up and paid attention to it. Wondering how on earth I was supposed to survive America without my best friend.

An hour and a half later, the movie was finished and I looked at my phone and pulled Twitter up. Putting in a simple tweet:
"I'm so overly happy and proud for my best friend @gabbysuttonxo"
I got out of bed and walked around trying to find something to do. I was about to take a shower when my phone buzzed. I checked it and it was a message from Audrey.

Audrey✨: hey Lia, uh could I phone you?
Aurelia🌸: of course hunny!

I took a few breaths and waited for the phone to go off. I don't know why I was so nervous. I mean, I'd spoken to Audrey plenty of times, maybe not over the phone but it would be the same wouldn't it?
My phone went off, "She's American" by the 1975 playing.
I clicked the green button to accept the call.
"Hey Aurelia." Audrey said,
Her voice was just so...comforting.
"Hey Audrey" I said, clearing my throat.
"You know, that isn't what I pictured you sounding like" Audrey said
"Right back at ya" I smiled
"Anyway, I just wanted to phone you because I wanted to talk to you. I feel like you are the only one not in this craziness and I need to hear about someone who has a normal life" Audrey replied
"Surely your life can't be that crazy? Is everything okay?"
"I don't want to worry you, so what is your favourite colour?"
"My favourite colour Audrey? Really...well it's blue"
"That's a beautiful colour, mines dark red"

We continued talking about silly little things like favourite colours and music we're into and animals, and we just blocked out the worries of the world. Taking comfort in each other's voices.
