Starcrossed Lovers
The hotel room was dark, and Keira was lying on the stiff bed, looking up at nothing. She was beating herself up inside. She had the chance. Rolling over on her side, she remembered the times she and Orlando were together on and off set. And the times that nobody else knew they shared but Orlando and herself. Now, she couldn’t even get a date with anyone. Not that she wanted to, anyway. She just wanted to see Orlando’s face light up again when she would walk in the room, or the secret silent promise that he loved her when they kissed in Pirates of the Caribbean. A kiss like that couldn’t have been acting. It felt real. She anticipated the next time they would meet, wondering if he was doing the same. Wondering if he even remembered.
Driving down the road silently, Orlando switched on the radio. Driving down roads like this alone creeped him out. The radio only picked up static. Switching it off, he knocked over the picture of him and Keira that he kept. He always hid it when Kate was in the car, but he liked it. It was from the premiere, and it always made him smile. They were both smiling, Keira at the camera and Orlando at her. He thought about the day the picture was taken, a magical day, really. He had whispered in Keira’s ear right before the picture was taken that he… he loved her. He pushed it out of his mind and continued down the road. 25 minutes from the hotel, and he would be happy to be there, too. Kate was back in the states, working on a movie. Finally in the parking lot, he got out, locked the car and started to walk away. He turned around, though, and unlocked the car and took the picture of him and Keira and put it in his pocket. He relocked the car and walked across the parking lot to the hotel. He kept wondering if she remembered what he had told her that day in the picture. And if she felt the same way.
Inside the hotel room, he took off his damp jacket and tossed it on the chair and pulled off his shirt. He was tired and he needed to pick up Kate following morning. He looked out the window and saw beautiful lights from downtown London. He opened the sliding door and leaned up against the railing, letting the crisp spring night air penetrate his lungs. “Funny, how something so ordinary could be so beautiful, isn’t it?” Someone said. He quickly looked around, since he didn’t have a shirt on, and noticed someone in the hotel room next to him leaning over the balcony as well. It was Keira.
“Hey.” He said, looking over at her.
“Hey.” She said back, looking over at him as well.
And for a moment, he wished that he could just sweep her up in his arms and kiss her forever. Just love her. And he remembered what she said, how something so ordinary could be so beautiful. He agreed.
She couldn’t tell why she was so attracted to this man. Okay, maybe she did, but that’s not the point. How come she couldn’t stop thinking about him? She didn’t know why she had even said anything to him on the balcony; maybe it was what he whispered in her ear. Those. Three. Words. “Would you like to come over or something?” she heard her lips say, immediately regretting it, knowing how stupid it must have sounded.
“Sure.” He said, breaking their gaze. She quickly got remakeuped, since she had been crying earlier. In seconds, she heard a knock at the door. Orlando. She opened the door and invited him in. They sat down on the couch and talked for what seemed like hours. Hours of pure ecstasy. Finally, the subject came upon the premiere.
“Um, Orli, did you actually mean what you said that day?” She asked.
He hesitated, thinking for a minute, then looked deeply into her eyes, deeper then anyone had ever before.
“I did”
“ohgodohgodohgod” Keira thought.
He leaned closer, cautiously. She did as well, so only about 2 inches separated them.
She could almost hear him murmur her name quietly under his hot breath. Then, they took the plunge. His lips were soft and sweet and inviting. His palm brushed her cheek and a bolt of electricity shot through her body. She kissed him again, and sensed a small uplift in the corners of his mouth into a small smile. She couldn’t think, she couldn’t breath. She just wanted the moment to last forever. Just sit there and kiss this man for the rest of her life. But it wasn’t over. The kiss got deeper, slowly spilling passion kept inside into each other.
Orlando didn’t know what he was doing anymore, his mind was exploding. Then, out of nowhere, his tongue slid slowly out of his mouth and pressed against Keira’s lips, which, to Orlando’s surprised, opened. Soon, they were wrapped in a warm passion that they never shared before. Suddenly, Keira drew back.
“I know, I’m going to fast.” Orlando said, ashamed.
“No, it’s not that. It’s that you have a girlfriend and wouldn’t this be…” Keira trailed off.
“I… I don’t think I care anymore.” Orlando said, with all sincerity in his eyes. Keira felt safe, she felt like this was what love really was. She kissed him again and he kissed back. “This must be the starting of what may be the most wonderful relationship in the world.” Keira thought, and then got lost in the heat.
Soon, they parted and Orlando went to his room and Keira went to bed in hers. She didn’t fall asleep right away, she thought about the night she had endured unexpectedly with Orlando. She couldn’t sleep. She stood up and just walked around the hotel room.
“Ouch!” she said, lifting her foot to hold the pain. She had stepped on something sharp. Reaching down, she picked up what felt like a small picture frame. She switched on a light and examined it. It was a picture of her. And Orlando. She smiled and ran her finger over the crack she had made when she stepped on it. Keira walked over to the bedside table and placed it on the stand.
“Maybe it’s just… fate.” She said to the picture and turned off the light.
Orlando sighed, dropping himself onto the cool hotel bed.
“How is this going to work?” he asked himself.
“You’ll make it work.” A voice in his head said.
He knew Kate would be back in a couple of days. How was he going to tell her? He didn’t care anymore, he would go and break her heart if he needed to, he didn’t love her anymore. He never really loved her anyway, the more that he thought about it.
Suddenly, he heard a knock rhythm on the wall next to his bed. It was Keira. Smiling, he knocked back, smiling at the sudden connection between him and Keira, then slipped off into a long awaited sleep.
The morning after was strange for Keira. She just sat at the table, fingering a piece of paper and staring out the window. What exactly had happened last night? So many things buzzed in her mind. Maybe it was fate that brought them to this hotel coincidently. Thinking about last night brought a smile across her face. He didn’t have to kiss her. It was his own choice. He felt it, too. The piece of paper, she saw, was the picture of her and Orlando. She was looking at the camera and Orlando was looking at her. And there was something about it, the way he looked at her, that was magical. “He really did love me, he did mean it.”
The telephone rang, startling Orlando out of his sleep. He reached for the phone and heard a familiar voice on the other end.
“Orli! Hi! It’s Kate. You wont believe what happened. My flight was delayed.” He could almost see the pout on her face. Suddenly, her voice sounded somewhat annoying to him. He didn’t really feel like talking to her right now.
“That’s not good. When should I pick you up?” Orlando said, cutting to the chaise.
“Um, I don’t know, I’ll call you. I love you and I miss you sooooo much!” she gushed.
“I-I gotta go.” He hung up the phone and combed his fingers through his hair. What had he gotten into?
“Hey, Keira.” Orlando stood in the doorway, leaning up against the wall.
”Hey.” She said, wondering what he was doing here.
“Last night, it was amazing. And, um, I got to thinking…” he scratched the back of his neck. Keira looked at him, with smiles in her eyes.
“Would you like to do something with me later. Kate’s flight was delayed and I have the day to do something and spending the day with you sounds really nice.” He drew out the last part just a little bit. Keira’s eyes smiled wildly.
“Oh, that would be wonderful, I’d really like that. Around what time?” She asked, mentally crossing her fingers to be at night, that way it would really be a date.
“How about, 7ish? My best friend works down with the boat and we could rent one and like, have dinner or something.” Orlando was testing the water.
“that sounds great, I’ll be ready.” She said, staring into his eyes, keeping herself up only by leaning on the open door.
“see you then, I guess.” He waved and walked over to his room. Keira closed the door, biting her lip from smiling to big. She was going on a date. Tonight. With Orlando Bloom. She rushed to the dresser to see what she could wear. She decided on her best blue jeans and a cute white tee shirt. Perfect. Soon, 7ish came around and any minute she would hear the knock on the door. Just as she was thinking this, she heard it. Keira looked at herself quickly in the mirror and then opened the door to see his smiling face.
“Ready?” he asked.
“I was born ready.” She answered.
