Glimmering Lights from the Past
Lula had been watching Lorena with amusement ever since they had returned to the apartment after the premier and events to celebrate it. She could tell that Lory was deeply lost in thought and was staring at a certain picture on the bookcase again. Lula also suspected at some point what someone got for Lory to drink wasnât completely non-alcoholic either.Â
Besides that, however, Lorena still had not changed out of her outfit like Lula already had. Also, if Lula wasnât imagining it there, Loryâs cheeks seemed a bit flushed. âAre you going to stand there all night, hun?â she asked coyly.
âHm?â Lorena blinked slightly and looked over her shoulder a bit at Lula. Then what she said processed. âOh...no. I donât intend to. I was just thinking about tonight...â
âJust thinking?â Lula echoed with a laugh and then motioned to herself. âYou were completely lost in your mind Lory, I went and changed and you havenât moved from that spot yet.â
Lory turned fully to face her roommate and it finally registered that Lula was no longer in her lovely emerald dress, but in something more comfortable. âOh goodness me,â she said softly and shook her head slightly to clear away her thinking haze. âOkay, so you have a point. Its just...tonight was eventful in ways I didnât expect.â
In her mind the actress also added something about feelings she thought she had long buried and had control over may have resurfaced slightly. However, Lory also had to admit to herself it was nice to see Sein and Silva again. As unexpected a sight as they were, but handsome ones as well. Was it strange that finding out they liked her movies made her feel strangely humble? For a moment they almost seemed starstruck but maybe she was just seeing things.
However, it was a shame to find out Nia was under the weather lately. She hopes that she gets better. Maybe she should have offered more that just a note? It had been her first thought at the time when she also learned that Nia was a big fan of her movies as well. Something that would hopefully cheer her up. But maybe she should have sent or added a little tea recipe that would maybe help her feel better too?Â
âYour doing it again, dear. Maybe you should get changed and rest?â Lulaâs amused voice cut through Loryâs thoughts.
Lorena took off her glasses a moment and rubbed her eyes. âPerhaps...but not just yet. I...need to think of what would be nice and appropriate to send Nia as a care package...just sending a note...what was I thinking? Oh...but is what I remember still the right address...?â
Lula tilted her head in interest. âAh....that explains it. You were thinking about the encounter with those handsome men~!â she mused with a smirk. âThey are a cut above the rest arenât they?â
âSein and Silva, yes they are something else. Very strong personalities, both of them with looks, wit and cunning to match. Sein heâs the old business rival I explained before. One of people I missed. I was not prepared to see him tonight, I hope that didnât show though. And...Iâll be honest Lula, I wasnât prepared to realize just how much I actually missed him...â Lorena said and sighed softly while placing a hand on her cheek. âNia is the childhood friend I mentioned. And I just...want to do something more for her. I think she was too shy to approach me back then, but rightfully so with the way I was. But even if she did I would have been slightly distant. I...I didnât want what almost happened between you and I because of my family to happen with her...âÂ
The blonde nodded slowly taking it all in. No wonder Lory was getting so lost in her thoughts. Two different sets of resurfacing feelings were trying to take hold of her at the same time. Love with a hint of guilt, if she was guessing right. âGirl, you are going to fry your brain if you donât rest. I canât properly gossip about what a hunk I think Silva is when your mind is going a mile a minute on those two. Iâll help you think of things or help you get things for Nia in the morning,â Lula said as she stood from the couch and went over to Lory. âNow get changed and go to bed! I wonât hear no for an answer miss rising star!â she added as she moved behind Lory, grabbed her shoulders, and began pushing her towards her room.
