The two most iconic celebrities in the entertaintment business have always been known for their very close friendship. What the outside world didn't know is that the two women were more than friends. It was love at first sight for Meryl and Cher but...
The legendary cast, the young cast along with Andy Garcia and Producer Judy Cramer were sitting in a large almost round. What was odd was that Ol Parker's seat and Cher's seat were empty. That was until Ol arrived 5 minutes later, but no Cher. The boys who played the young dads sadly could not make it. Truthfully, I didn't have spaceto write them in the picture. Here is an idea of the sitting arrangement

"You're late" Judy said to him
"Sorry, I was arranging something with Cher. She said she has a treat for us, I couldn't say no" Ol said but he didn't really know that the performance was an apology from Cher to her lover.
"Oh well, that's fun"
3 minutes later, Ol got a text message from Cher saying to introduce her. Meryl was at the edge of her seat, she didn't see Cher anywhere and it worried her.
"Everyone can I have your attention? I have something to say" the director started "These days have been really fun and now more than ever with our additional members" signalling to Andy and the younger cast "Even though we have a few weeks left, still you all have done amazing work and Judy can make sure of that" they laugh "Now, as you noticed Cher is not here yet, since we have to honor to integrate to our cast such a women and icon, aside from Meryl of course, she wanted to give us a thank you gift. Let me introduce Cher" everyone cheered
Meryl froze instantly 'Oh god, what is Cher planning?' she said to herself when she heard the 'If you could Turn Back Time' track playing. Meryl was left eyes wide open when Cher came out in skinny black jeans, a one shoulder sleeve black shirt and curly hair as she started singing. Cher's eyes locked with Meryl's when she entered
If I could turn back time If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you And you'd stay
Heading straight to her not caring what the others thought, they hold hands, she just wanted Meryl to get the message which she did because her eyes were watering. The rest were confused and intrigued I don't know why I did the things I did I don't know why I said the things I said Love's like a knife it can cut deep inside Words are like weapons, they wound sometimes I didn't really mean to hurt you I didn't want to see you go I know I made you cry, but baby
Cher started to back away so she could sing to the cast but the words were meant for Meryl, they both knew it
If I could turn back time If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you And you'd stay If I could reach the stars I'd give 'em all to you
she quickly looked at Meryl and saw her smiling at that verse then back again to the other so they wouldn't notice. She knows Meryl loves her Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do If I could turn back time
My world was shattered I was torn apart Like someone took a knife and drove it Deep in my heart
Again Cher walked to Meryl, kneeled in front of her with the table separating them, took her hand and sang sadly You walk out that door I swore that I didn't care But I lost everything darling then and there Too strong to tell you I was sorry Too proud to tell you I was wrong I know that I was blind, and darling
If I could turn back time If I could find a way I'd take back those words that hurt you And you'd stay
They both stood up but what surprised Cher was that Meryl went around the table and in front of her. Now everyone was even more confused, Cher didn't stop singing. They were in their own world.
If I could reach the stars I'd give 'em all to you Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do, oh If I could turn back time, oh baby
I didn't really mean to hurt you Cher caressed Meryl's face I didn't want to see you go I know I made you cry
If I could turn back time If I could find a way
I'd take back those words that hurt you If I could reach the stars I'd give 'em all to you Then you'd love me, love me, like you used to do
If I could turn back time (turn back time) If I could find a way (find a way) Then maybe maybe maybe you'd stay
When Cher stopped singing they both hugged tightly crying and Cher whispered in Meryl's ear "I'm so sorry" to what Meryl replied "its ok, it's ok". Everyone went silent for a moment then they all started clapping which made the two women jump apart wiping their tears
"Amazing Cher as always" Judy said "Now is everything ok? Because I think I speak for everyone that we were confused there at the end"
Meryl and Cher looked at each other then Meryl said "Excuse us for a second, we have to clear something up" she took Cher by the hand went to the terrace next to the private room.
"I don't know what that was, I swear" Ol said
Outside, the terrace had a beautiful view of the London eye and the Big Ben. The sun was setting so it was romantic scenery when Meryl wrapped her arms around Cher, Cher's arms around Meryl's waist and kissed each other passionately on the lips.
"I'm sorry" Cher said when they broke apart but without letting go of each other
"Don't ever again for one second doubt that I love you" Meryl said sternly but caring
"By now you should know that I didn't mean what I said the other day. My love for you will never change, even if the world knows or not" Cher said
"My kids know, apparently they have for over ten years and didn't say anything"
"That means they support us, Chaz is the same" Now Meryl understood who Don was calling that night "See, every person important to us is supporting us and screw the ones that don't"
"So this means we're going public?" Meryl asked
"We don't have to if you don't want to, you know I don't like to share my love life with the press but since you do, I can do it, only if you're comfortable. I don't want to push you" Cher said
"You don't share your love life to the press only because you keep saying that no men can handle you" Meryl teased
"And apparently a woman can" Cher responded
"Oh yeah" they both giggled and kissed "Um, so are we going to make like an announcement of about us or something when we get inside? It's been 10 minutes already"
"I think we should treat it as casual as possible, there is no need to explain ourselves, we act like a normal couple and if they notice so be it, we tell" Cher suggested
"Fine, as for the press, because for sure my divorce from Don will come out and..." Meryl started
"I don't give a hoot what the press say, we will get through it together. Although I do think we should remain low key from the public until your divorce it's finish" Cher interrupted. Meryl nodded "If and when things get ugly, I won't let anybody hurt you"
"Let's go inside and be free then" they both went back to the room as a new free couple
