To the south of my heart
December 15, 2011 - London
"You'll be near me on the red carpet, right? Do not leave me a moment, so the photocall and then that stupid press conference, not to mention the party after the first, since short descend from the taxi when he returns to the fucking hotel! "
Stephen Fry looked vibrant cheekbones of his colleague and friend, Jude Law, who was making those requests hysterically for about half an hour, well under the amused gaze of his old companion, a gentle man who loved the esteemed British actor, hired for a the unusual.
He dressed the role of particular brother of Sherlock Holmes, in the sequel Game of Shadows.
In the past, Fry and Law were on set for another wonderful film, Wilde, where he played the first writer and poet Oscar, while the other lover, the cheeky Alfred Douglas, or the mythical "Bosie ... now here's what you seem Jude God ... how many stories? And why? Think you avoid it? "
"Of course I want to avoid, not even a greeting, a nod of attention to that bastard!" - Inveii, sending the third glass of champagne in the fireplace.
"I go out to buy cigarettes Steven ..."
"Okay honey ... um, but when you smoke?"
"Sooner or later you must start ... well hello Bos ... oops! Jude, after. "- And laughed out quickly.
"Jude's enough, stop drinking and sit down here."
"No! Help me please Steven ... "- and knelt at his feet, while Fry was comfortably in an armchair sipping a brandy and smoking a cigar.
"I will do everything possible, but you know that in certain situations there is so much confusion ... Robert will react badly, it could happen a stampede ..."
"A para what? But who cares! I also asked Kevin to come, I'll stay with him, so I can better edge sidewise, away in case the bastard wanted to speak to me for strength. "
"The ...? Damned if you love him, to my memory I have never seen so altered, jealous, angry and even less for a woman for a man. "- He said sure, looking for the ashtray.
"Steven's keep ..." - the anticipated Law, taking it from another table - "Thank you so small ..., summarize, and we come ..."
A phone call interrupted.
It was the reception.
Fry said in a tone of colorless, becoming red-faced after a moment - "Yes ... yes, a moment, does not confirm nor deny ... short for time."
"What happened?"
"It 'here!"
"Steven who?"
"Robert!"
"Eh? Are you kidding? "
"No, heck, I feel that my attack was pre !!??" can conceal a stupid joke
"I'm not there!"
"I really do not do the rabbit Jude!" - Growled, closing the microphone with the palm of the receiver, but on the other side screaming that Mr. Downey was climbing, while they were discussing what to do.
The strong almost knocking them unconscious.
"I know you're in there Jude! OPEN! "
"Christ has gone mad! Steven do something! "
"It 's your boyfriend, you who must talk to him!" - Protested.
"My fiance? It '... not ... here ... "
Another shot and Law decided to throw open the barrier that separated them, seeing him fall Downey, launch to break the door.
They ended up on the floor, entangled like two runaway horses, including the blond who tried to repel the dark-haired and the latter clinging to him, a vain attempt to hug goodbye.
Fry would have laughed if it had not been in the eyes of Jude, who was deeply attached, a flash of despair.
He was really suffering from the matter of pregnancy by Susan Downey, Robert's wife, they had extensively discussed the evening before dinner.
Their meetings were always imbued with happiness, whenever it happened in London Law, business, children, the theater.
Besides, we also lived for several months a year, but now after the success of Holmes was often around the world, including new films, festivals and commercials.
Jude always greeted him with a light kiss on the lips, emotions.
They were very close to script requirements on the set of Wilde, but there was much more esteem and mutual respect, consolidatisi over time.
"... I have several children, you know ... but Rob Steven, has a different weight ... I ... I have a broken heart ..."
She cried, restaurant, car, booked in the hotel lobby from the production, before climbing to its suite.
"Why do not you go home ... Jude at home, rather than children if they do not want to be alone ..."
"I just want to get pissed ... look at that guy, what he is reading the Sun, was in the room two tables ahead of us ... now I drink a couple of drinks and I go to bed ... I ... I do fuck all night ... I do not care more than anything ... I'm pathetic and not even matter in this ... "- and began to sob on the shoulder of his friend, who welcomed him, despite the presence of her man.
After all he loved him, so his father, Steven.
Robert was thrown against the opposite wall by a push of Jude, almost purple with rage.
Fry sat in the middle, holding it to be more reckless and stupid actions, "Enough! Calm down! "
Distributed fresh water and Kleenex - "Perfect, we are among civilians last!? Well, you just have to deal with the problems and clear. "- Said seraphic.
"Do not even think about it! I go back to my room! "- Jude hissed.
"You stay here with me and talk shit! There are three weeks that I deserve a phone call and is not that we first showed up, except to insult me! I will have left hundreds of messages on your answering that, you've at least heard!? "
"What? The ones where I say you shall be the father or the ones where you ask me to be patient, or those where you want to think about what to do, tell me the fucking great man! Ahahahahah ... well ... great! "- And laughed loudly, throwing a glass, which fortunately did not break.
They were still on the floor, trembling and bruised.
Downey rubbed his face, as if exhausted - "Ok, you're right Jude, then you give it to me a solution or tell me what you want and get it over with."
"After ... well, good, you know, it's over between us ... I hope that or face the lover man married? ... The classic asshole, which finds the spare time to spend some time 'together, making sacrifices to the bitter end? "- Swallowed a sob and moved the couch.
"Of course not ... not ... Jude" - sadly replied, releasing two tears.
Jude felt an impulse to rush out to dry, could not bear to see him suffer, he had always comforted in difficult times during those three years of relationship, keeping it in its embrace and putting down his fears and horrible rooted Robert was seven years older than Jude, but in those moments seemed like a frightened child and fragile, that only he could actually save, even from himself.
Law repressed the starting loving, but Downey took him and smiled in the middle - "I miss you too ... I miss Judsie to die ..." - said suffocated.
"Go ... go to hell ... fuck ... damn American" - he said without conviction, gathering her legs in her arms, and buried his face in the middle, as if ashamed to see their defenses down.
Steven left the room, while Robert, after having taken off his coat, went close to Jude, wrapping it with his body - "What took you so scared ... Jude? We were away for months, why did not you come in Malibu, when I told Susan, you were the first to join me ... I had prayed, I live this moment with you ... "- it was rocking, pronouncing each syllable with a calmness soft.
"Because ... because the pain was too devastating to you ... I lost ..."
"But I would have found, once again, to wait with a child together, to cuddle and grow, I can not do it without you Jude, I do not feel up to it, I'm terrified of that responsibility is my eldest son Indio ... , but I'm not a father to him, are his friend, who saw every so often and that has paid their studies and the house where he lives ... I love him, just like you do and it's a good guy, who knows us ... "
"Indio ...? He ... ... he knows us? "- Asked in amazement.
"I told him right away, looking for his approval, was important and gave me a single question Indio ..."
"What ...?"
"If you were in the south of my heart Jude."
"What? ... "- Asked, looking at that point.
"Where the roots of true love, what you do not fall into the abyss of the past, wrestle with unbearable sadness ... The only one who can give us the strength, purity, courage ... I told him it was you and that you would be forever ... I did the same with Susan, when she told me she is pregnant: think me a fool But is the truth. "
Jude bowed his head, but Robert lifted it to him by the chin, giving him a long kiss.
The pressed: "Are you cold shivering Jude ... like me ...?"
"No ... no ... it's more the joy of having you here, you are grinding all my fears Rob ..."
The smiles they found themselves, like the rest of them, unable to give up that terrible privilege, loving each other as they had discovered no one had ever done.
THE END
