The Actor Madness: Rise [COMPLETED]

Chapter XXII (We Are Entwined)

Midtown Manhattan, December 7th 2023

Iphone alarm rings. It's 9 a.m.

Roderick and I are still laying on our bed.

I wake up and go take a bath. In my bedstand there's a chanel perfume with a note.

It's "Bleu de Chanel". I pick up the note and read it.

Note:

I don't want to start another fight. But you really are mimicking Marilyn's life and career.

So I thought that you missed something. A "Chanel" perfume.

I know it's not the original, the one she used.

But well you wouldn't want to use a female perfume.

So here's a gift from your big lover, Roderick Schultz. XOXO.

So sweet. I have to admit that I am mimicking Marilyn's life.

But she was the greatest star that lived on Earth.

She has many aspects that make me want to be like her.

I enjoyed this gift. I mean, with all of this jobs I haven't had the time to be with Roderick.

To be cherished by him.

Now I have to buy him something. He deserves it.

He goes days without seeing me, only on television on some talkshow.

Or in a Broadway stage.

We haven't had a day or a week just to ourselves. If that continues maybe our relationship will die.

I grab the perfume and go to shower and then dress myself and make breakfast for two.

I eat mine and then put Roderick's breakfast on a serving wheeled trolley.

I climb the stairs and leave the trolley right beside our bedroom door.

I go to our art room and open Roderick's Macbook and enter the password that is related to our relationship.

Something that should be keep between us.

I go to his documents folder and I see a quick word document named poem draft.

I open it and start to read it.

Poem:

If crossing seas and climbing mountains are love proofs,

Then love requires a lot and it makes us look like goofs,

But the love I get from your is bulletproof,

Because you're made of sweetness and kindness,

Which is why I consider you priceless and your beauty is timeless.

Jordan you're the owner of the crazy muscle that my heart is,

Which will never be taken by anyone,

For how you round it with frontiers.

How lame. But it is so beautiful and heartfelt.

He is really dorky but he truly loves me. And so do I.

I close the document and close Roderick's Macbook.

I get out of the art room and go to our bedroom.
