《Mindfulness》CHAPTER 1
Advertisement
Sunday morning, Stefani's pov.
I woke up at 8:00 and my mind was still thinking about yesterday. Bradley Cooper wants me for a new project, for a film? Are we serious? This is the first time in my life that feel really and completely proud of my work. I've worked hard and I left a lot of things behind just to keep myself concentrated on my goals and on my carrier.
I'm just thinking a lot and I have to get up and get ready for a special lunch. I've invited my family and all of my friends to tell them the big news and I'm so happy about this. I'm just sad 'cause things between me and Taylor are not working and I'm gonna lose him. My life seems perfect, everyone would like to have my life but no one knows that my life is such a disaster, especially in what concerns men.
In the middle of a silent morning, I decided to get ready for lunch. I've chosen a red dress and black heels, I've put some red lipstick on and I decided to use the eye-liner. Then I went upstairs and while I was preparing toasts for breakfast, someone rang at the doorbell. I went there, and I was surprised to see Taylor at the door. I opened the door, and he said to me:
"Stef, I've heard the big notice from Bobby, I'm really proud of you!"
I was shocked, but I said: "Taylor, what a surprise!" And I hugged him, Taylor's arm are the best place in the world, I feel safe and in the right place in the right moment, but I started to think for a second and I realized that I should have stopped myself. I moved out and Taylor said:

"What's going on Stefani? Something wrong?"
"No Taylor but I think that you have to go, it's over between us, and we have to stay away from each other, it's the best thing to do."
He looked at me and, without saying nothing, he closed the door and started to walk away from my house. I was so in love with Taylor but both me and Tay were too busy with our work that we lose each other. I was sure about my decision. While I was thinking about my messy life, my phone started to ring.
"Hello, it's Stefani, who's at the phone?"
"Stef I'm Bradley, this is my number, how are you?"
"Oh god, Bradley, I'm fine and you? Have you slept well?
"Fine too Stef, I want to ask you something."
"Sure Brad, tell me!"
"Do you want to come to my house and have lunch together? We can talk about the film and I can explain to you some things about everything and the cast."
"Oh Bradley that's a good idea but, I have organized a lunch with my family, I want to tell them about the film. I'm so sorry Bradley. Oh wait, you can come too. What do you think about it?
Bradley started to laugh and he said: "That's quite embarrassing but I can come, why not? It seems like I'm your new boyfriend and you want to introduce me to your family"
I started to laugh out loud and I said: "Bradley, you're ragamuffin, I'm waiting for you, come here fast!"
"I'm on my way, see you soon."
I left my phone on the table and I went to the door because the doorbell was ringing. It was my family: my mother Cynthia, my dad Joe, Natali my sister and also all of my friends including Sonja, Bobby my manager, Sarah my hairdresser, Frederic my make-up artist and Sandra and Tom, my stylists. And there was also an unfamiliar face, so I tell him:

"And you must be...?"
"Nice to meet you, I'm Christian, one of Bobby's friend, it's a big pleasure for me to meet youl."
"Oh thank you very much, It's a pleasure for me too, Bobby's friends are my friends too!"
"Thank you, how can I call you? I'm in difficulty!"
"You can call me Stefani, or Stef if you want. I'll call you C!"
"It sounds great."
In the meanwhile, the others started to sit down on the chairs around the table and Bobby said: "Stef, you have to talk, tell to us the big surprise, even if I already know it."
"It's quite embarrassing, but I have to tell you all... I'm gonna make a movie!"
Cynthia my mother said: "Honey what are you talking about? Are you serious?"
"Oh yes, I'm fucking serious, Bradley Cooper wants me to act with him, in his new film!"
"Let me hug you, sweetheart, you're the joy of your father." Said my father screaming.
"I'm so proud of you," Said my mother and I noticed that my sister was crying.
"I'm so happy to have you here, that's my dream since I was a child, we can lunch in a few minutes but we have to wait for one person before." I scream while I was smiling.
"Who is it?" Said Sarah.
"Bradley is coming here. He'll have lunch with us." I said and while I was saying it, the doorbell rang and I went immediately to the door. It was Bradley. He comes in and we have lunch all together. I was sitting between Christian and Bradley, and while my mother was talking with Bradley about the film, I enjoyed the time with Christian, he is a very brilliant person!
It was a special lunch and I was so happy that I forgot Taylor. At 3:00 p.m my family said goodbye to me and also all of my friends, including Bradley, because he had to go home to Irina, his fiancè. When everyone left, Christian stopped himself and said to me:
"I've already said it, but it was a pleasure for me, thank you to have welcomed me like a member of your family. You're the kindest woman I've ever meet."
"Oh Mr C, you're part of the family, you're Bobby's friend and now, you are my friend!"
He smiled and said impulsively: "Stef, do you want to go out with me?"
At that moment I started to think about Taylor, about our meeting that morning, I started to think about Bradley, but I didn't know the reason. A man was asking me to go out, and I was thinking about Bradley without any reasons. At the end, I remembered the whole lunch talking with Christian, he makes me feel safe. So I said: "Yes Mr C, let's do this!"
"I'll pick you up at 8.00 p.m, see you very very soon." He said kissing my cheek.
*This is the first chapter of my first story, and i'm so happy about this. I hope you guys gonna like it and sorry for the grammatical errors but I'm Italian (I want to eat spaghetti with Bradley and Gaga lol).

Northwoods Trapper
In the wild places of our planet, dark vestiges of our paranormal past yet cling to twisted life. In the past, the hunters and trappers of the world were tasked with removing such blights from society's fringes - legal assassins, enlisted to enforce the will of civilization against those unnatural, otherworldly hosts. Nowadays, we're not so lucky. With the idea of proper monster-hunting fading from public perception, the once-prestigious mantle is donned by amateurs, hobbyists, and self-taught warriors. It pays poorly, it's dangerous, and people would rather do something that gets them rich or famous or drowning in attention. Most often, new-age monster hunters are born from tragedy. They lack the tact, training, and funding of hunters passed. Instead, they have only their wits and brawn to carry them through. So it is with our hero. In the woods of the American Midwest, foul creatures lurk. Tabitha Varna, a young college drop-out scarred by her past, is determined to uproot them or die trying. Sometimes she hopes for both.[Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge]
