《Mindfulness》CHAPTER 5
Advertisement
I was alone in my swimming pool and my phone rang. I was too lazy to get out of my swimming pool, so I stayed in for 1 hour more. When I got out, I took my phone and I read a message from Bradley:
"Tell me somethin', girl, are you happy in this modern world? Or do you need more? Is there somethin' else you're searching for?"
Oh god! He read the song and he has continued it! It sounds great.
"I'm falling, in all the good times I find myself, longin' for change and in the bad times I fear myself." I wrote to Bradley and then I decided to call Christian, when he answered, he said:
"My love, I've waited for your call, what have you done today?"
"Nothing interesting C, I stayed in the pool for all the afternoon, a boring day, and you?"
"I'm in Venice today, here the atmosphere is romantic, I would like to have you here."
"Venice is my dream since I was a little girl, how many days will you stay there?"
"One week darling."
"It sounds great, now I have to go, I have to take a shower."
"Go, girl, I'll call you later." I hung up and I called Bobby, my manager.
"Bobby, sweetheart, I have a proposal for you."
"Tell me, darling, I've passed a boring day."
"Oh me too, I stayed all afternoon in the pool, you should have come!"
"I stayed all afternoon on the sofa. So, the proposal?"
"Christian is in Venice and he'll stay there for 1 week, I want to make to him a surprise. Can we do this madness?"
"OMG Stef, you are a genius, I call the airport, pack your baggage, we leave!"

I run in my bedroom and I started to pack my baggage. The shooting will continue in 2 weeks, so I'm free for 2 weeks. When I was taking a shower my phone started to ring, I got out of the shower and I answered, it was Bobby.
"Stef, we leave in 1 hour, I'm picking you, be ready!"
"You're fantastic, B, I have to dress and I'll be ready in 10 minutes."
When Bobby arrived, I was ready and we left for the airport. We went into the aeroplane and I received a message from Bradley."
"I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in, I'll never meet the ground. Crash through the surface, where they can't hurt us, we're far from the shallow now. I miss you."
The song is perfect and I answered:
"I miss you, is a part of the song?"
The plane took off and we left for Venice."
I got a text message from Stefani, She wrote me:
"I miss you? Is a part of the song?"
"No, it's not a part of the song. It's a real fact, I miss you."
While I was writing it, I got a phone call from Irina, I answered and she said:
"Bradley, I'm Carl, Irina's manager. She wanted to make you a surprise and we're back, but she's in the hospital now. The baby is coming. You should come."
"The baby? I'm coming."
I took my things and I started to drive. When I arrived, the baby was born. Irina looked at me and said:
"I called her Lea, you were not here and I chose the name. You are never here!"
"I was not here because no one told me, Irina, stop being a victim!

"I'm a victim. When you started the shooting of your stupid film, you walked away!"
"I haven't walked away, and it's not my stupid film, it has been my fucking dream since I was a teenager. Now I just want to stay with my baby."
Irina didn't say anything and I went to my baby Lea, she is like me, we have the same eyes.
I was on my sofa alone and I was thinking about Stefani, she didn't answer me since yesterday. I also thought about Irina and our relationship, everything is a big mess and our baby doesn't deserve it. We have to find out a solution. I decided to call Stefani because I was worried but while I was composing the number, my phone started to ring. I answered and it was Irina:
"Brad, sorry for yesterday and for everything. The baby and I are coming home. We can't wait to see you."
"Can I pick you two up? I want to see the baby."
"No, we are on our way home, I'm with my driver."
"Okay, see you."
While I was waiting for Irina and Lea, I tried to call Stefani but I didn't receive any answer. I was so worried that I decided to go to her home. Irina will take about an hour, so I have the time to go to Stefani. When I arrived, I started to ring the bell and no one seemed to be home. But suddenly Natali opened the door and said:
"Bradley, what are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for Stefani, she didn't answer since yesterday."
"Oh yes, she's in Venice, she wanted to make a surprise to Christian."
"Oh... I understand, now I have to go."
"Are you leaving already? You can come inside and we can have a coffee."
"If you insist..."
We entered and we started to talk and Natali asked me:
"Can I ask you a personal question?"
"Yes..."
"Are you in love with Stefani?"
I looked at her and I said: ....
